Too Late to Regret, She’s Now With the Big Boss - Chapter 1

“Brother Yuntao, today is our wedding day. Get up quickly, don’t be late.” The broken, hoarse voice startled Ye Qianqian herself.

Then she remembered, her throat was raw from screaming!

All night long, over and over again, until she passed out…

As she was lost in the memory, a cold, icy voice sounded in her ear, “Open your damn eyes and see who I am.”

That voice, it wasn’t right!

Ye Qianqian turned toward the sound. The dim, flickering light cast shadows across the man’s face, but it couldn’t hide his naturally pale complexion.

His features were sharp and striking in the dim light, his thin lips pressed tightly together, his deep, cold eyes fixed on her.

When their gazes met, Ye Qianqian’s pupils trembled, a chill running down her spine.

Oh my god!

Why was the “Living King of Hell” here?!

Last night, before she closed her eyes, she had been with her fiancé!

How did she wake up to find herself with the even more terrifying Third Master Lu?!

She was done for. Not only was she no longer pure enough for Brother Yuntao, but she had also provoked the Living King of Hell.

She had kicked an iron plate, how was she supposed to handle this?

Rumors said Third Master Lu was ruthless, even hitting women. Any woman who tried to get close to him ended up with broken arms or legs.

He was the most eligible bachelor at the top of the social pyramid, yet no woman dared take a single step toward him.

So how had she managed to sleep with him?!

Though the aftermath was unforgettable, she had no memory of how it started!

No matter the reason, she knew one thing, her life was in danger!

“Still not leaving? Do you want me to send you to meet the King of Hell?” The man’s icy voice rang out again.

Facing the murderous glare of the Living King of Hell, Ye Qianqian shuddered and immediately groveled, “Leaving right now, leaving immediately!”

But inwardly, she was screaming: The King of Hell is right here, who needs you to send me?!

She scrambled off the bed to escape, only for her legs to give out, nearly sending her face-first to the floor. Luckily, the man caught her.

“Idiot. You can barely stand, yet you still try to run?” His voice was frigid, devoid of any warmth, his gaze as disdainful as if she were a pile of trash.

Ye Qianqian was yanked back onto the bed. She glared at him and muttered under her breath, “You told me to leave. Besides, I need to hurry to my wedding.”

“You slept with me and still think you can run? Who gave you the guts?” Lu Jingchen sneered, his handsome face filled with cold fury, his voice even colder than a winter storm.

“If I stay, you’ll kill me! You’re the infamous Third Master Lu, the scare in every woman’s heart in Rongcheng!” Ye Qianqian blurted out in panic.

“……” Lu Jingchen said nothing, his dark, unfathomable eyes locked on her, dangerous and unpredictable.

Ye Qianqian forced an awkward smile and looked around for her clothes, only to find shredded scraps on the floor.

She grabbed the man’s white shirt and pulled it on, hastily buttoning it up.

No time to waste, today was her wedding day with Song Yuntao. She had to get there fast.

Waving at Lu Jingchen, she gritted her teeth against the soreness and headed for the door, only for her legs to buckle again, sending her crashing onto the carpet.

Sitting on the floor, she was about to beg the Living King of Hell to take her to the wedding when she heard a mocking voice, “Weren’t you rushing to be a bride? Why are you still on the floor?”

Furious, Ye Qianqian turned and started crawling toward the door only for lines of golden text to suddenly float before her eyes.

[Big boss, clearly doesn’t want the female antagonist to be humiliated at the wedding, yet his words are so cruel. Serves him right for regretting it later!]

[The female antagonist is heading to the wedding now, just in time to see our precious female lead and the male lead exchanging rings.]

[The female antagonist is really stupid. She had a golden opportunity but didn’t take it. If it weren’t for that big boss’s willingness, who could’ve gotten into his bed?]

[The male lead truly loves the female lead. Handing over his fiancée to someone else not only frames the infamous Third Master Lu but also gets rid of the female antagonist.]

Lines of text floated past, and Ye Qianqian desperately didn’t want to believe their truth. Yet, she knew some of it was undeniable fact.

Last night, Ye Qingyan had said, “Brother Yuntao, Sister Qianqian, since you’re getting married tomorrow, let’s go celebrate with some drinks.”

Thinking she’d have to wake up early for the wedding, Ye Qianqian wanted to refuse but then she heard Song Yuntao readily agree, “Sure, Yanyan, let’s go celebrate together.”

Watching her fiancé and her adoptive sister interact sweetly while she couldn’t get a word in, Ye Qianqian could only sit aside and drown her sorrows in alcohol.

When she was too drunk to think straight, she heard her adoptive sister’s voice: “Brother Yuntao, are you really going to push… onto Zhenting?”

At the time, she was too intoxicated to process it clearly, assuming her fiancé was trying to push Ye Qingyan onto Lu Zhenting.

Lu Zhenting was the eldest grandson of the Lu family, handsome, with a family background slightly better than Song Yuntao’s.

Now, considering her current predicament and the meaning behind those floating comments, Ye Qianqian realized Song Yuntao had sent her to the wrong bed!

She never could have imagined Song Yuntao would be so cruel to her.

The comments called her a stupid, malicious villainess.

How was she malicious?

She was originally the heiress of the wealthy Ye family in Rongcheng, but right after birth, she was swapped by one of her father’s admirers. Until she was fifteen, she lived in the countryside raising pigs.

After being brought back to the Ye family, her parents not only kept the fake heiress, Ye Qingyan, but also announced to the public that they were twin sisters.

Ye Qingyan was the elder sister, and she was the younger, she didn’t mind that, because life in a wealthy family was infinitely better than the countryside.

Ye Qingyan treated her well, always giving her the best things. Yet the Ye family accused her of snatching her sister’s belongings.

They said she had grown up in the countryside, that her mindset was too narrow, that she was jealous of her adoptive sister, that she always competed with Ye Qingyan for attention and possessions.

Even a clay figurine has a temper. Since everyone said so, she might as well live up to their expectations.

The only thing she ever wanted to take was her rightful fiancé, Song Yuntao, not only was he outstanding, but he had also shown her kindness.

Song Yuntao was the eldest grandson of the Song family, one of Rongcheng’s four great families. He was the childhood sweetheart betrothed to the Ye family’s daughter and also Ye Qingyan’s childhood friend.

The elders of both the Song and Ye families believed her rural upbringing made her unworthy of Song Yuntao.

Originally, she wouldn’t have been able to compete with Ye Qingyan. But perhaps fate played a cruel joke. Three years ago, Song Yuntao was in a car accident, and top doctors declared he would be paralyzed for life.

Heartbroken, Ye Qingyan couldn’t accept this reality and left Song Yuntao behind to study abroad for her master’s degree.

Meanwhile, Ye Qianqian saw an opportunity. She voluntarily gave up her own chance to study abroad and stayed to care for Song Yuntao.

Having graduated from medical school, she spent those three years learning acupuncture and various massage techniques from masters to aid his recovery.

Her efforts paid off, Song Yuntao eventually recovered fully.

Whether it was pressure from the Song family elders or the bond formed during those three years of constant care, Song Yuntao agreed to marry her.

But as soon as they set a wedding date, Ye Qingyan returned from abroad, and the three of them were once again entangled in a messy dynamic.

The barrage of comments informed her that Song Yuntao had handed her over to someone else in order to smoothly proceed with his wedding to Ye Qingyan!

Had both families already accepted this?

Or did they all think she wasn’t good enough?

At this memory, Ye Qianqian felt nothing but a chilling coldness in her heart, her mind buzzing with noise.

She turned to look at Lu Jingchen, offering a placating smile. “My legs feel weak, could you take me there?”

Lu Jingchen radiated an icy aura, his teeth clenched as he spat, “Get lost! Go by yourself if you want to.”
