Villain Marrying The Heroine Is Perfectly Plausible, Right?

Chapter 43: This is the “Gunfight” You Were Talking About?:

Jiang Mengyao was shocked, then suddenly realized, “The skills you were talking about, are they just the skills for this game?”

Chen Lang nodded naturally, “Of course, what else did you think?”

Jiang Mengyao still felt something was off. “But, when you said the longer you last, the better it feels…?”

“That’s the game’s rule! Everyone is on the same map, fighting until the last person standing wins. Naturally, the longer you last, the closer you are to victory!”

“And what about when you said if you’re not doing well, you need a little external help?”

“Yes! When you’re not performing well, you might want to use cheats. They definitely help you last longer.”

?????

Jiang Mengyao was still trying to process this. “So, the external help you were talking about was… using cheats?”

“What else did you think?”

Jiang Mengyao blushed. “I thought… you meant… those little blue pills.”

This time, it was Chen Lang’s turn to be stunned, his expression turning to one of sudden realization. “Wow, you! How could you think like that? Your mind is way too dirty!” He even scooted his chair away from her, exaggerating his reaction. “Did you really think I was talking about that kind of gunfight? Ew, your mind is twisted! Don’t come near me, I don’t want to catch your dirty thoughts…”

Jiang Mengyao was speechless. “It’s not my fault; your way of talking is just so misleading…”

Just as she was about to defend herself, she noticed a fleeting smile in Chen Lang’s eyes. Jiang Mengyao suddenly understood.

Damn it! This guy did it on purpose! He intentionally made her misunderstand, leading her to think in the wrong direction…

He was playing with her!

After all, they both knew that Jiang’s family needed Chen Lang’s help.

If she and Chen Lang had that kind of relationship, she wouldn’t be able to refuse his requests, and Chen Lang wouldn’t be able to turn down the shares from her family.

Chen Lang was sly, indeed.

Jiang Mengyao’s feelings became complicated.

On one hand, she felt relieved that it wasn’t what she had feared, but on the other hand, she felt a slight sense of disappointment.

“What are you standing there for? Are we playing or not? Wait, do you even know how to play? Brother Lang doesn’t carry newbies, you know. After all, I often make it to the final round.”

Jiang Mengyao sat down, gritting her teeth. “Let’s play!”

As the game loaded, Chen Lang put on his headphones, calm and collected. “Just follow my lead. When I say jump, you jump. Stay close to me, don’t hold me back, and try to learn from my moves.”

…

Midway through the game.

Chen Lang: “Go loot the crate, I’ll cover you. With me covering, you can just… what the hell, I’m dead! Which sneaky bastard ambushed me??”

Jiang Mengyao, calmly: “It’s okay, I’ll avenge you.”

She laid prone in the grass, aimed, and fired in one smooth motion. With her sniper rifle, she took out enemies with one shot each.

Chen Lang: “Wow, not bad! You’ve got some skills! Alright, you’re qualified to be my teammate.”

Another round.

Jiang Mengyao was surrounded.

Chen Lang: “Mengyao, don’t panic. Brother Lang is coming to save you! Just dodge, dodge, watch me… Damn it, I’m dead again! These bastards are targeting me, damn it! Mengyao, I can’t save you this time!”

Jiang Mengyao: “It’s fine. I’ve already dealt with them.”

Chen Lang: “…”

Another round.

Chen Lang: “Not good, I’m surrounded! Mengyao! Mengyao, come save me! They’re on the hillside right across from you. Damn it, I need to use cheats! I need to use cheats to kill these bastards!!”

Jiang Mengyao: “Don’t worry, I’m on my way.”

Jiang Mengyao charged forward with her submachine gun. Her movements were fluid, bullets flying everywhere, and in no time, smoke rose from her enemies, turning them into loot crates.

Chen Lang was stunned, staring blankly at Jiang Mengyao’s profile.

The earlier embarrassment and anger had vanished from her face. Her eyes were cold and sharp, and she had transformed back into the resolute and decisive queen she once was.

“Why are you staring at me?”

“Mengyao, you’re amazing! Have you been playing this game a lot?”

Jiang Mengyao replied, “Games aren’t really my thing. I prefer the real deal.”

She then glanced at Chen Lang, giving him a playful wink.

Chen Lang felt a slight jolt in his heart.

“Come on, let’s keep going.”

The entire afternoon, Chen Lang and Jiang Mengyao battled fiercely in that corner of the internet café.

It wasn’t until evening that they finally left.

Jiang Mengyao looked refreshed, her face full of satisfaction.

Chen Lang, on the other hand, looked a bit worn out.

“I just didn’t play well this time. The mouse in this café isn’t great, and the keyboard was affecting my performance too…”

Jiang Mengyao patted Chen Lang on the shoulder like a comrade. “Little Chen, your shooting skills need more polishing!”

Chen Lang responded, “There aren’t many people in the world that I admire, but you, Mengyao, you’re definitely one of them.”

They walked side by side.

Suddenly, Chen Lang started laughing.

“What are you laughing at?”

“I’m laughing because I’m getting married tomorrow, and yet I just spent the entire afternoon playing games with you in an internet café.”

Chen Lang couldn’t help but think to himself, this was all just part of the story. It was the world of the novel, but if this were reality, it would be far too absurd.

Xiao Mingyue was probably already back at the Xiao family, preparing for tomorrow’s wedding.

And here he was, still playing games in an internet café.

As they walked, Jiang Mengyao suddenly turned to face Chen Lang.

“Thank you for spending the entire afternoon with me, Chen Lang. Honestly, it’s been a long time since I’ve felt this happy.”

Although Jiang Mengyao was only in her twenties, the entire future of the Jiang family weighed heavily on her shoulders.

The recent police raid at the club had been troubling her, as it represented the attitude of those in power.

But after just coming out of the internet café with Chen Lang, she suddenly had a new thought.

As the saying goes, ‘do what one must, and leave the rest to fate.’

She had done everything she could, and as for the future of the Jiang family, it was now up to destiny.

Today, she hadn’t mentioned anything about Chen Lang accepting shares, but her words and actions were full of subtle hints.

Unfortunately, Chen Lang had played dumb the whole time.

The duo had tacitly avoided discussing anything about the company partnership or the shares.

At the entrance of the club, Jiang Mengyao saw Chen Lang off as he got into his car.

“Congratulations in advance, groom. Best wishes for your wedding.”

Chen Lang waved his hand, “I’m off. Let’s get together again sometime to practice our shooting skills.”
