I, the Villain, Accidentally Killed the Protagosint!

Chapter 48

Turn myself in?

Ye Fan was completely stunned.

This was not how he imagined things would develop.

“You want me to turn myself in? Are you serious?”

“You go turn yourself in, and I’ll try to get my grandfather and the others to issue a letter of forgiveness. That might help you!”

The reason he came here today was originally to clear things up.

Lin Xi was human too, with emotions and desires.

She used to be aloof, calm, and noble.

That was because she had been sheltered too well like a flower grown in a greenhouse.

That was why she could afford to be so serene, and even afford to treat someone like Ye Fan, a poor loser, kindly.

But now!

In just two days, Lin Xi had experienced torment and trials she had never known.

They shattered all the values and perceptions she’d held since childhood.

At a time like this, people are naturally selfish.

Why shouldn’t Lin Xi think for herself?

“No! I can’t turn myself in yet! My sister—she’s still in danger!”

Ye Fan’s initial shock quickly turned into a drastic change of expression.

Even his tone became agitated.

A child of destiny is fragile like glass.

The moment he noticed something was off in the tone and expression of the goddess he loved, his entire mindset collapsed.

Lin Xi already harbored some resentment toward Ye Fan.

Now, seeing that he refused to turn himself in, which meant she had no way to return to her family, her discontent only deepened.

“Ye Fan, for the sake of our friendship, if you turn yourself in, I’ll take care of your sister.”

Lin Xi felt that she had done more than enough.

So what if she was gravely ill?

She believed that if she could return to the Lin family,

Helping take care of Ye Fan’s sister would be a trivial matter.

At worst, she’d just spend more money to hire the best doctors in the country.

If that didn’t work, she’d send her overseas.

“No!”

Ye Fan rejected her flatly.

Would a child of destiny ever admit fault?

Of course not!

He believed he had done nothing wrong!

It was the world that was wrong!

A flash of madness crossed Ye Fan’s eyes at that moment, though it only lasted a moment.

He then tried hard to compose himself, not wanting to scare Lin Xi.

You could say, a simp will always be a simp. That bad habit just couldn’t be cured.

“Lin Xi, give me a few days!”

“No, just two days! Two days at most! I promise I’ll go back with you and explain everything!”

“When the Lin family wants to punish or scold me, I won’t utter a word of protest!”

Ye Fan took a deep breath. “But not now!”

Lin Xi looked disappointed. She could tell Ye Fan was being insincere.

She didn’t want to hear any more explanations. After all, she was already disillusioned.

She stood up abruptly. “Then there’s nothing more for us to say.”

“Lin Xi!”

Seeing that Lin Xi was about to leave, Ye Fan panicked.

He had put everything on the line today—how could he just let her walk away?

In desperation, he reached out to grab her arm.

Normally, he’d have caught her.

But as he stood up from his chair, he accidentally banged into the corner of the table.

Wincing from the pain, he missed.

“Ye Fan, there’s nothing left between us to talk about!”

A trace of coldness and disgust flickered across Lin Xi’s face.

That expression felt like a blow to Ye Fan’s chest, like something tearing him apart.

And neither of them realized that all of this had been witnessed by Zhang Chen.

The milk tea shop was under full surveillance. Zhang Chen sat in a car just a few hundred meters away, legs crossed, watching the feed on a tablet.

“Tsk tsk, the child of destiny can handle ridicule and scolding from anyone and still keep a calm face,” Zhang Chen chuckled. “But the one thing he can’t bear—is being mocked or scolded by the woman he loves.”

“It’s about time.”

As Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

In the milk tea shop.

Sure enough, Lin Xi’s icy demeanor finally pushed Ye Fan over the edge.

His eyes blazed with fury, and his voice turned low and hoarse.

“You really won’t help me?”

“Ye Fan, I’ve already notified the enforcers. They’ll be here soon!”

Lin Xi still believed that once Ye Fan was arrested, it would prove her innocence.

Then, the family might forgive her.

Everything would return to how it once was.

But she had no idea.

That sentence was the final straw that broke Ye Fan.

Enforcers?!

Ye Fan couldn’t believe it!

“You! You called the enforcers?!”

Before coming here, he had imagined countless outcomes.

He was even blindly confident that he could persuade Lin Xi to help him in secret.

Even if she refused, at the very least, they were still friends.

He never thought she would betray him.

Little did he know, Lin Xi had no idea how narcissistic Ye Fan truly was.

She might not have sensed it before, but now, her only feeling toward Ye Fan was—
resentment.

Maybe even a hint of disgust?

So she didn’t deny it. She nodded. “Yes. I informed the enforcers before I came.”

“Ye Fan, I don’t know if you’re lying to me, and I don’t want to dwell on it. Let the enforcers decide everything.”

Lin Xi was the daughter of a wealthy family.

But because of Ye Fan, she faced being disowned and treated like a public enemy.
Anyone would feel deeply resentful.

Her coming to meet Ye Fan at all was already her showing respect for their past friendship.

“Take care of yourself.”

Lin Xi had originally intended for this to be a clean break.

And don’t be fooled by how Zhang Chen mocked her— Lin Xi wasn’t some brainless, naive rich girl.

She had her thoughts.

Just half an hour earlier, Zhang Chen had finally given her the answer and a sense of reassurance.

Otherwise— would she have come to see Ye Fan?

“I’ve said everything I needed to say. I’m leaving.”
