When The Harem Novel’s Heroine Meets The Tragic Heroine - Chapter 12

What kind of nauseating, scumbag speech was this?

If she could, Bei Qiuqiu really wanted to slam the steak, still sizzling with splattering oil, onto Feng Yuanhua’s balding “Mediterranean” head.

Unfortunately, Liuliu kept threatening her in her mind, saying she couldn’t break character or she’d be immediately electrocuted into a hedgehog.

Forced to walk this path, it was already bad enough letting her crush know she had a fiancé; now, having her witness this discordant blind date scene made Bei Qiuqiu want to ram her head against a wall.

It felt like the road to pursuing her love had become even longer.

She didn’t know what kind of impression Yu Qingling had of her now, but she absolutely could not turn into a hilarious-looking hedgehog in front of her.

Seeing the waiter place a double serving of steak on the table, Feng Yuanhua sneered, “What? Are you on a date with some little toy boy? Did the toy boy see me coming and run away in fear?”

The waiter glanced at the table of guests with their delicate dynamic, keeping his head down and submissively continuing his work.

The steak cover was lifted, savory sauce was poured on, and a rich aroma instantly wafted through the air.

Feng Yuanhua picked up the knife and fork already prepared on the table, crudely stabbing at the steak.

Yu Qingling could no longer endure it. Not only was he speaking insolently, but he was also stealing her seat and eating her dinner!

She stepped forward two paces, grabbed the back of Feng Yuanhua’s tie, and directly lifted the fat man—who weighed over a hundred kilograms—straight up from the sofa chair.

The tie tightened, death-gripping his throat.

A mouthful of steak was still stuck in Feng Yuanhua’s gullet when he was suddenly thrown out, slamming onto the ground; the man almost kicked the bucket right then and there.

Bei Qiuqiu’s eyes widened. Sister is V587 (mighty)! A human weapon!

This move was exactly to her liking!

She had wanted to do that for ages!!!

Feng Yuanhua sat kneeling on the ground, disheveled, coughing for a good while before finding his voice. He looked at Yu Qingling with a mix of hatred and fear, “You… who are you?”

He still couldn’t figure out how he had been tossed out like trash so easily by this woman who looked so slender.

Yu Qingling replied, “The ‘little toy boy’ who was supposedly scared away, according to you.”

Bei Qiuqiu hurried forward to grab Yu Qingling’s hand, “Sister, how is your hand? Did it get hurt or strained?”

After all, this fat guy’s tonnage was no joke.

Feng Yuanhua choked. It took him a long while to crawl up from the ground, pointing a trembling finger at the two of them as he spat out a cliché, “You two… Bei Qiuqiu, you just wait.”

Then, he left in a fit of rage.

Yu Qingling pulled her hand back and sat down again, “It doesn’t hurt. Did you want to change locations earlier because of that person?”

Bei Qiuqiu pursed her lips and nodded, feeling a bit guilty, “I’m sorry, Sister.”

Yu Qingling indicated it was fine, “Do we still need to change places now?”

Bei Qiuqiu shook her head quickly. Since the scum had run away, there was naturally no need to move.

She called the waiter to bring a fresh steak, then looked at the cold, beautiful woman across from her with a mix of longing and anxiety.

Perhaps her gaze was too intense, forcing Yu Qingling to refocus her eyes on the girl, “Is something wrong?”

Bei Qiuqiu gave a somewhat fawning, obedient, and sweet smile, “Sister, thank you for solving that trouble for me just now.”

“It was just a small effort.”

She spoke very little, but Bei Qiuqiu could sense that she wasn’t angry.

The new steak was served. Yu Qingling picked up the knife and fork, mimicking the guests at the neighboring table. She quickly cut the steak into small squares of uniform size.

Dinner proceeded quite harmoniously.

But inside Bei Qiuqiu’s mind, Liuliu had already gone crazy.

The reason was that the plot had changed.

While Bei Qiuqiu chewed unhurriedly, she spoke sarcastically to the system, “It’s not my fault. I was seriously following the plot; it was Feng Yuanhua who didn’t play by the script first.”

Liuliu: “…”

Bei Qiuqiu sighed, “Sigh, even the male lead and supporting characters have their own ideas now.”

Liuliu was furious, but could do nothing against its host.

It spoke with malice: “If it weren’t for this Yu Qingling, who was never even named in the book, the plot wouldn’t have changed. Why wasn’t she struck by lightning?”

Bei Qiuqiu sneered and pressed back, “Yeah, why wasn’t she?”

Liuliu couldn’t answer. It wasn’t that she wanted to hide it from her host, but rather that it was the first time it had encountered an existence like Yu Qingling.

Inside her head, the previously frantic system suddenly went quiet.

Bei Qiuqiu paused her eating, a suspicion forming in her heart.

Sure enough, after dinner ended and the two were riding their bicycles back from the restaurant, a van swerved recklessly to block their path.

Just as Bei Qiuqiu braked, five adult men jumped out of the van and surrounded the two of them.

Liuliu’s voice rang out in her mind at the perfect time: “Host, the plot has returned to the right track. Remember, do your tasks well, keep Yu Qingling in check, and don’t let her ruin the plot again!”

Bei Qiuqiu asked, “What if I can’t control her?”

Liuliu felt aggrieved: “Anyway, find a way. You are not allowed to let her interfere again.”

In other words, even if she couldn’t control her, the system wouldn’t actually do anything to her.

Bei Qiuqiu asked another question, “To force the plot back onto the right track, what price do you have to pay?”

Liuliu bristled: “Who told you I have to pay a price!!!”

Bei Qiuqiu raised an eyebrow, “I was just asking casually, why are you so agitated?”

Liuliu: “…I don’t need to pay any price.”

“Then you’re quite impressive.”

The leader of the men had a scar running across the bridge of his nose, looking fierce and evil. He gave a malicious smile, “Ladies, our CEO Feng has requested your presence.”

Bei Qiuqiu looked at the men around them. If she were a normal female lead, she would have the confidence to return safely even if taken away.

But she was a “suffering” female lead, a lead in a tragic novel where the whole world wanted to abuse her; there was no guarantee she could return unscathed.

“The person Feng Yuanhua wants is me. Let her go.” She grabbed Yu Qingling’s hand and stepped forward to shield her.

No matter what, she couldn’t let her get dragged into this.

Yu Qingling pulled her hand away. The warm sensation in her palm lingered. She glanced at the girl, who was clearly terrified yet still trying to let her leave.

So fragile that anyone could bully her.

And yet, she stood in front of her.

The leader of the men scoffed, his arrogance palpable, “CEO Feng said he is inviting both of you. Not one less.”

Yu Qingling gave an “mm,” slowly stepping forward to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Bei Qiuqiu, “I just taught CEO Feng a lesson and scared the life out of him. He certainly wouldn’t want me to just walk away.”

The men looked at each other, clearly unaware that such a thing had happened.

Bei Qiuqiu panicked, lowering her voice, “Sister! You go first. For the sake of my father’s reputation, Feng Yuanhua won’t do anything to me.”

Yu Qingling stated her true intention, “It’s been a long time since I’ve properly stretched my muscles.”

With that, she took the initiative to board the van.

Seeing this, Bei Qiuqiu bit her lip and followed.

The five men, who had planned to take them by force, were stunned. Truly, these two were far too cooperative.

The van started, turned around, and drove toward an unknown location.

Perhaps because of the person beside her, Bei Qiuqiu wasn’t nervous at all.

Liuliu went crazy again, “Why did she follow too?”

Bei Qiuqiu said helplessly, “I tried my best to stop her.”

Liuliu had a very bad premonition, “Host, hurry and think of a way. You cannot let her destroy the plot’s direction again.”

Bei Qiuqiu was certain the system had no way to deal with Yu Qingling, “It’s fine. If it gets destroyed, can’t you just easily pull the plot back to the right track again?”

Liuliu: “…”
