The Female Lead is Quite Unusual - Episode 46

Bai Yin thought she would no longer fear any kind of loss.

Until this day, when she won a high-end hairdryer as a prize at the company’s annual party.

In previous years, she would have casually given it away, but this year, she wanted to use it to dry Lin Wan’s hair and, in the process, build a closer relationship with her. Almost as if bewitched, she decided to keep the hairdryer.

On her way home, the thought of Lin Wan’s flushed face filled her with uncontrollable joy.

However, what greeted her upon her return was an empty room and a hastily scribbled note.

Lin Wan had gone abroad for some matter but what could possibly require her to go abroad?

Bai Yin tried calling Lin Wan multiple times, but the calls never went through.

A sudden unease began to stir within her.

Others told her that Lin Wan had only taken three days off and would return after that. That Lin Wan had gone abroad to find a doctor for her.

But would searching for a doctor lead to such a complete loss of contact?

Assuming Lin Wan was on a flight and unable to answer, Bai Yin stayed up almost the entire night, waiting for Lin Wan to call her back.

Given Lin Wan’s habits, she would have immediately returned the call upon seeing the missed calls. Yet, Bai Yin waited all night and never received a callback.

Bai Yin pursed her lips.

Lin Wan’s phone had undergone special modifications, and Bai Yin quickly accessed her call records from the previous day.

Seeing that Lin Wan’s last call before leaving was from Wang Jiang, Bai Yin’s eyes darkened. Had Wang Jiang and the others threatened Lin Wan, forcing her to flee abroad? Or had Lin Wan never even left the country and instead fallen into their hands?

Bai Yin felt as though she was going mad with anxiety. Her rationality remained intact, but her emotions surged like a raging fire, filled with an overwhelming desire to destroy everything.

After seeing this call record, Bai Yin decided to accelerate her plans.

Originally, she had intended to take her time, letting Li Pei and Bai Jian slowly crumble in despair. But now, she had lost all patience.

Bai Yin acted decisively and swiftly. Years of preparations were unveiled in an instant, catching Bai Jian completely off guard. His company was left with no chance of recovery, burdened with massive debts and facing criminal charges.

At this point, Bai Jian naturally had no intention of staying in the country to await his fate.

He fled abroad with Li Pei and Bai Ru, but this was exactly what Bai Yin had anticipated.

The moment the three of them left the country, Bai Yin took control of them.

The legal system abroad was not as robust as in their home country, and there were plenty of ways to make the three of them disappear without a trace.

However, no matter how Bai Yin interrogated them, the three admitted to having deceived Lin Wan in the past but denied having any contact with her in recent days.

Their expressions did not seem feigned.

Three days passed, and Lin Wan still had not returned. Instead, Bai Yin received a package containing Lin Wan’s phone.

Inside the package was nothing but the phone. No other items.

It was the phone she had given to Lin Wan.

Was Lin Wan trying to sever all ties with her?

A different possibility suddenly crossed Bai Yin’s mind: Could it be that Lin Wan had chosen to hide on her own?

After all, Lin Wan was so shy, and Bai Yin had gradually shed her facade in front of her recently. The blunt desires she had revealed during this time might have frightened Lin Wan.

Moreover, Li Pei had ordered her to kill Bai Yin. Lin Wan no longer wanted to assist in such evil deeds, so she fled abroad to escape it all.

The more Bai Yin thought about it, the more plausible this reasoning seemed. During their time together, she had always sensed that Lin Wan carried a burden of guilt toward her.

She had never met anyone as tolerant as Lin Wan, someone who would even indulge her unreasonable whims.

But after realizing her own feelings, Bai Yin gradually stopped employing those manipulative tactics and tried to learn how to be good to Lin Wan.

How could she tolerate Lin Wan stealing her heart and then walking away unscathed?

Bai Yin’s heart swelled with rage, mingled with a despair that whispered, “I knew it” she truly was unlovable.

But she would never let Lin Wan off so easily!

She personally purchased a batch of equipment, meticulously arranged each piece, and placed them in a sealed room on the third floor.

Even the well-traveled Butler Zhao couldn’t help but awkwardly whisper, “Won’t this be a bit too much for Miss Lin to handle?”

Bai Yin remained silent.

She wanted Lin Wan to fear her, to humble herself and come back to coax her.

She did covet Lin Wan’s body, but what she cherished even more was the bright, sparkling warmth in Lin Wan’s eyes when she looked at her.

Wasn’t Lin Wan afraid of her? Once she captured Lin Wan and brought her back, she would make sure Lin Wan saw all of her, the real her.

Let Lin Wan hate her!

Even if those eyes blazed with hatred, as long as they were fixed solely on her, Bai Yin would find a twisted satisfaction.

Lin Wan could only be hers.

In those days, Bai Yin felt as though she were trapped in purgatory.

It was Lin Wan who had promised to stay with her forever, yet it was also Lin Wan who had abandoned her and fled abroad.

Only then did Bai Yin realize that she had fallen much deeper than she had ever imagined.

She loathed Lin Wan with every fiber of her being, yet she couldn’t bring herself to drug her into submission. Instead, she could only obsessively fantasize about ways to “torment” Lin Wan.

Butler Zhao, unaware that Bai Yin might have been abandoned, assumed the two had merely quarreled, leading to Lin Wan’s departure. Hesitantly, he handed Bai Yin a USB drive.

“Miss, sometimes you can’t be too domineering. Lin Wan may have a gentle nature, but she’s not without her limits.”

“You should try coaxing her. With your quick learning, I’m sure you’ll master it in no time.”

“I would never coax her,” Bai Yin sneered coldly, tossing the USB drive into the trash.

But after Butler Zhao left, she immediately retrieved the drive from the bin and opened the files.

Bai Yin’s eyes widened in astonishment.

She discovered that intimacy wasn’t just about using fingers. There were so many other techniques.

Lost in thought, Bai Yin stayed up all night studying the contents, even taking detailed notes on each method.

The next day, she received a call from the overseas doctor.

This was the same doctor who had cured her years ago. During her treatment, captivated by her beauty and unaware of her true nature, he had fallen for her and even learned some of her language to impress her.

But after glimpsing her real self, he never dared to entertain such thoughts again.

Staring at the doctor’s contact, Bai Yin pondered deeply: there had been warnings all along. The doctor was a prime example, once people saw her true colors, most would fear her, and no one would ever love her again.

She didn’t want to answer the phone, but the doctor’s calls were persistent. When the third call came through, Bai Yin picked up.

The doctor had signed a confidentiality agreement with Bai Yin and couldn’t disclose that her legs had been cured.

Over the phone, he told Bai Yin that a beautiful girl had appeared before him, pleading with him to go to the country to treat Bai Yin. Her relentless persistence made him somewhat flustered, and he warned Bai Yin to check if she had been sent by her rivals to test the waters.

At that moment, Bai Yin felt her lifeless heart begin to beat again.

“Help me stall her and bring her aboard.” Bai Yin assessed the geographical locations and quickly chose a spot in the sea between their two countries.

She wanted to meet Lin Wan and ask for an answer.

But after rushing over overnight, the moment she saw Lin Wan, she realized she couldn’t bring herself to ask. She was afraid of seeing disgust in Lin Wan’s eyes.

She never thought she would ever be so timid and hesitant.

She was like a mad dog that once wanted to bite the heavens and the earth, suddenly muzzled, and from then on, she began to hesitate and hold back.

So, she sponsored a masquerade ball on the cruise ship. With an indescribable attitude, she approached Lin Wan under the guise of a stranger, wanting to test Lin Wan’s reaction.

Sure enough, when faced with a stranger’s relentless advances, Lin Wan was completely defenseless.

How could such a pitiful little thing dare to cross the ocean alone to seek medical help for her?

Fortunately, it was her that Lin Wan encountered. If it had been someone else who wrapped their arms around Lin Wan’s neck and settled into her lap, Bai Yin would have truly gone mad.

A subtle sense of jealousy arose in her heart. Why could a disguised stranger do everything she wanted to do?

Watching Lin Wan being naively led by the nose, dragged into the dance floor, and cornered against the wall, Bai Yin recalled the torment she had felt during this time, and anger surged within her.

Bai Yin really wanted to teach Lin Wan a lesson, to kiss her recklessly and silence that mouth that always spoke sweet words.

Moreover, Lin Wan’s lips were naturally red, glistening and moist from the drinks she had consumed.

But then Lin Wan started crying.

Seeing Lin Wan’s tears, Bai Yin snapped back to reality. Her anger dissipated, leaving only helplessness.

Perhaps because she felt uninhibited in front of a stranger, Lin Wan wept incessantly and spoke of her pressures.

Just as Bai Yin had long suspected, Lin Wan had no intention of harming her. Because of this, Lin Wan had to deceive Li Pei and the others.

Bai Yin never knew that Lin Wan had been suffering so much internally. Had she known, she wouldn’t have indulged in watching Lin Wan busy herself and plan for her; she would have chosen to tell Lin Wan the truth sooner.

What made Bai Yin even more ecstatic was Lin Wan admitted to liking her.

The moment the words “the person I like” reached her ears, Bai Yin felt as if ten thousand flowers had bloomed in her heart, an indescribable joy.

So, Lin Wan liked her too, which was why she had done so much for her.

Bai Yin had been precocious since childhood, and few things could stir her emotions. It wasn’t until she met Lin Wan that she discovered the world suddenly had color, and she could experience a myriad of feelings.

Since their feelings were mutual, Bai Yin had no intention of taking tedious detours or engaging in pointless disguises.

If Lin Wan feared Li Pei and the others, then she would remove those obstacles entirely and let Lin Wan know that Li Pei and the others posed no threat to her.

She used to enjoy watching Lin Wan strive to protect her under her wing.

But now that she was the one in charge, she had to be more assertive. It was time to show her abilities and let Lin Wan know her true strength.

Bai Yin’s kiss was slow, deliberate, gentle, and lingering.

But Lin Wan’s entire body stiffened.

Bai Yin’s kiss carried an intense possessiveness that sent shivers down her spine, her tone extremely husky.

Her actions clearly crossed the boundaries of friendship.

Lin Wan couldn’t help but quickly close her eyes again.

This must all still be a dream, right?

Even though she secretly admired Bai Yin, she had never imagined Bai Yin could like her back.

Yet, the pleas of Bai Jian and Li Pei still echoed in her ears, and Bai Yin’s aura was so overpowering it was impossible to ignore.

In her daze, Bai Yin had already reached out, turned Lin Wan’s body around, and firmly wrapped an arm around her waist, facing her directly.

“Wanwan, are you unhappy?” She pressed her forehead against Lin Wan’s, playing the accuser first: “Didn’t WanWan want me to be more assertive?”

“Now that I’m being assertive, why does Wanwan look anything but pleased?”

“What exactly is going on?”

Lin Wan had no idea what to say. After a long pause, she opened her eyes and spoke.

She secretly pinched the flesh on her arm; it hurt. This wasn’t a dream.

But overnight, how had her gentle, kind Bai Yin turned into such an overwhelmingly invasive presence?

Lin Wan felt incredibly sad, as if tears were about to fall.

“If WanWan wants to hear it, of course I’ll tell you.”

Bai Yin curved her lips and pressed a button in her hand. Soon, someone pushed the door open from outside and took away the groaning Bai Jian and the others on the floor.

The room instantly fell silent.

“Step out for a moment,” Lin Wan pushed Bai Yin lightly. “I need to change clothes.”

Even though she had been cautious around the doctors these past few days and wore the most conservative style, she still said this. She needed time to process everything.

“I’ll give you five minutes.” Bai Yin gave Lin Wan a deep look. Unlike the indecisive Bai Yin she used to know, this Bai Yin seemed to see right through her thoughts.

Meeting Lin Wan’s wide-eyed stare of shock, Bai Yin rose from behind her without using any aids, strode over to the dining table with her long legs, and sat down gracefully, smiling at her.

Bai Yin’s legs were actually fine?!
