After the Restricted-Genre Side Character Plays the Villainous Boss - Chapter 14

Yue Mingcang knew very well that Long Yin was too drunk to remain conscious for much longer. The best thing he could do right now was to quickly take Long Yin to a guest room to rest. However, before doing that, he had to take advantage of this hard-won opportunity to gain some benefits.

Given that he always appeared before Long Yin like a pathetic, cowering dog, Long Yin likely would not realize how bold he could be when faced with actual interests. After a brief moment of thought, Yue Mingcang hit upon something he could use. “Do you remember our gambling agreement?”

“Which gambling? Small bread?” Long Yin asked confusedly.

There were too many gambling agreements in the original story, and each served as a stepping stone for Yue Mingcang’s success. How could Long Yin possibly remember them? It was like how a dragon would not remember how many slices of small bread it had eaten, just as the bread would not remember how many people had eaten it.

Yue Mingcang let out a melancholic sigh, realizing that Long Yin was completely intoxicated. He wondered how much Long Yin would actually remember of today once he sobered up. Not daring to delay any longer, he spoke in a hurried tone, “The agreement for Longmen Port. You signed it yourself.”

Very few people knew about this gambling agreement, just as few knew that he had borrowed money from the Long Family Conglomerate and used that very money to obtain the port operation rights from White Dragon Shipping. The price of gaining something for nothing was this trap-laden agreement. Anyone who had read it believed he would lose miserably, and he was no exception.

However, even if he had to do it a thousand or ten thousand times over, he would still sign his name on that contract without hesitation. The reason was simple: White Dragon Shipping belonged to Long Yin, and the Long Family Conglomerate belonged to Long Yin. Either way, the debt was owed to Long Yin, and there was no real difference between owing a million or a billion.

The second after signing, Yue Mingcang had pushed the agreement to the back of his mind. He did not care about the consequences of failing; instead, he felt a slight anticipation for the punishment that would come from Long Yin. Before today, even in his dreams, Yue Mingcang had never thought of challenging this guaranteed-to-lose agreement. But now, looking at the treasure before him, one more precious than ten Longmen Ports combined, a fire of unprecedented ambition ignited within him. If the reward was Long Yin, he felt he could do the impossible.

Yue Mingcang looked into Long Yin’s eyes and said emphatically, “If I complete the gambling agreement, you will let me be your male concubine. How about that?”

It was indeed too early to speak of marriage. With Long Yin’s status, he could not act without consequence. But if it were just a hidden male concubine, things would be much simpler. That was the identity Long Yin had first given him in front of Grandma Yue, and it had become an obsession he carried to this day.

Long Yin struggled to think. He still could not fully process Yue Mingcang’s words and only extracted the keyword “male concubine.” If the protagonist succeeds and looks for a male concubine, is that okay? It should be fine. Simply seeking a male concubine without marriage would not affect the protagonist’s career path. Wait, is Yue Mingcang not straight? Why is he looking for a male concubine? Never mind. Whether he is straight or not does not matter. It is more important to be a good power-fantasy protagonist and follow the career line.

Having convinced himself, Long Yin frowned and nodded, then reminded him, “But you still have to become the Overlord of the Sea in the future.”

Yue Mingcang leaned in and kissed Long Yin on the cheek. Those golden eyes blinked in confusion, flowing with a youthful bewilderment. Yue Mingcang’s lips curved into a wide smile, and his eyes were full of flourishing ambition and desire. He gently brushed aside the hair at Long Yin’s temple, his fingertips slowly trailing across the flushed cheek. “I will come to wed you with a grand palanquin sooner or later.”

Long Yin woke up the following afternoon. He had been properly settled in a guest room, and there was not a single urgent work message on his phone. After all, he had just lost his temper in front of everyone, so no one dared to cross him at this moment.

Thanks to his excellent physical condition, Long Yin did not suffer much from a hangover. His mind cleared quickly, and he began to recall the events of the previous night.

“How strange. Yesterday, I seem to have done something extraordinary!”

Long Yin held his head, falling into a state of unprecedented shock. The images he could not process while drunk now flooded back into his mind like a tide. He reached out with a trembling hand, and as his gaze fell upon his fingertips, the tactile sensations from his memory returned.

Yes, he had used this hand to pin Yue Mingcang’s shoulder, making him unable to move. He had ignored the intermittent pleas and tremors, forcefully replacing the grapes with humiliation value. Not only that, while Yue Mingcang was teetering on the edge, he had secretly licked away a mouthful of the Aura of Destiny!

What had he done? What had he done to the Chosen One?

Long Yin curled up and rolled around on the bed. After a few turns, he fell onto the floor with a thud. The physical pain was nothing compared to the pain brought by his racing heart. At this moment, Long Yin desperately wished he could be like a normal human and forget everything after a night of heavy drinking, trading memory for peace.

Unfortunately, he could not. The memories were clear and distinct, and every detail was vivid. The teardrops that fell on his shoulder had been so hot they felt like they were burning him, and the hoarse gasps had sobbed out accusations of his brutality.

Long Yin lay on the carpet like a corpse for a long time until Xiao Bai leisurely came online, its cheerful system voice entering his mind.

Xiao Bai: [Good morning, Great Host! Congratulations on your victory! You secured 16 points of humiliation value overnight! We now have a total of 28 points. Great Host, you are truly excellent!]

“Xiao Bai,” Long Yin crawled up with difficulty. He opened his mouth but did not know what to say. What could he say? He could not tell Xiao Bai that he had secretly committed a violation while the system was shielded. If forcing Yue Mingcang to “eat” grapes was somewhat excusable, then what about forbidding Yue Mingcang from getting married?

As a villainous boss, what right did he have to stop the protagonist from marrying? Yue Mingcang was a power-fantasy protagonist; he could marry whomever he wanted and have as many male concubines as he pleased. It was not the place of a villainous boss to object! He seemed to have reached some sort of promise with Yue Mingcang as well. He could not remember the specifics, but it likely was not anything good.

He had always carefully followed the principle of “a slap followed by a sweet date,” maintaining their relationship while farming humiliation value to ensure things did not get too tense and that there would be a next time. All that painstaking effort was now completely ruined. After yesterday’s ordeal, Yue Mingcang might even have psychological trauma. He would probably rather sell his body than come to beg Long Yin again. Furthermore, he did not even want to imagine how Yue Mingcang would retaliate once the Long Family went bankrupt and the protagonist rose to power. At this very moment, Yue Mingcang might already be secretly researching how to take revenge.

At the same time, at the Yinlin Company located in Longmen Port, an extremely serious all-staff meeting was underway. This small company, founded by Yue Mingcang’s father and kept afloat by Yue Mingcang since his father’s passing, had by chance become the designated operator of Longmen Port. The original team and scale were far from enough to handle the current flood of business; expansion and upgrades were urgent.

The meeting room was silent. Yue Mingcang stood up, his gaze slowly scanning every familiar face. When he spoke, his tone was powerful and firm, “Everyone sitting here is my brother. You have accompanied me all the way to this day. Now, we face our greatest opportunity and our greatest challenge.

Once we succeed, the Long Family and Long Yin will no longer be our enemies! Please give your all to help me win the gambling agreement.

Commissions, bonuses, and most importantly, company shares will be distributed to every one of you according to our agreement. In one year, you will get your shares, and I will get Long Yin.”
