The villainous female supporting character becomes a heartthrob, and the powerful man successfully r

As night fell, Qi Yan hung up the video conference, glanced at Xia Ying sleeping soundly in the bedroom, and felt a great sense of satisfaction.

He knelt down and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead before tiptoeing out of the bedroom to prepare dinner.

At this moment, only one light was on in the kitchen, where Qi Yan was busy at work. His movements were swift and his knife skills were superb, clearly showing that he had cooked a lot.

Braised prawns, steamed pork ribs, stir-fried bok choy, clam congee...

After each dish was cooked, Qi Yan returned to the bedroom and woke the sleeping Xia Ying.

"Baby, dinner is ready."

"...I still want to sleep..."

Qi Yan said gently, "But it's already nine o'clock. If the baby wakes up again in the middle of the night, we'll have to do something else."

Upon hearing this, Xia Ying regained half of her senses. Her hand groped around and finally touched Qi Yan's face, pinching it hard: "Qi Yan... you're a big... pervert."

Qi Yan smiled as he scooped her up, carefully resting Xia Ying's head on his shoulder, and carried her to the living room.

The aroma of the food dispelled Xia Ying's last trace of drowsiness, and her eyes lit up when she saw the prepared dinner. She cupped Qi Yan's face in her hands and kissed him.

"Good girl, this is a reward for your boyfriend."

"Yingying, can I request to keep it until tonight before bed?"

Xia Ying scoffed, "Dream on, Qi Xiaoyan. I could hear the abacus clicking all over you."

Qi Yan didn't press the matter further; he had plenty of strength and resources, so there was no rush.

After finishing their meal, the two snuggled on the sofa to watch a movie together, enjoying a peaceful moment.

Xia Ying felt increasingly uneasy as she watched. This "365 Days of a Gangster Boss" wasn't a police thriller; it was a romance, and a rather... unique one at that.

Her gaze drifted, and feeling the heat on her face, she prepared to leave to avoid getting more and more involved.

However, Qi Yan didn't give her that chance at all. The moment Xia Ying was about to get up, he flipped over and trapped her.

"Qi Yan, I'm sleepy, let go of me—"

"Okay, I'll take the baby back and we can sleep together."

"don't want……"

Xia Ying's words were swallowed by Qi Yan. With the light and sound from the movie screen, her mind became increasingly muddled, and she could only let Qi Yan take the lead.

The two explored a new location and didn't return to their bedroom until late at night.

The next day, Xia Ying kicked the sofa in shame and anger when she saw it. When she turned around, Qi Yan was coming out of the study, staring at her with a smile in his eyes.

"If you keep laughing, I'll kick you next."

"Did the baby's foot hurt from kicking?"

"snort--"

Xia Ying turned and went into the bedroom, slamming the door shut.

"You'll be sleeping in the second bedroom tonight, don't bother me."

Qi Yan was rebuffed, but he wasn't in a hurry. His eyes were curved and the corners of his mouth were upturned, like a cunning fox.

"Yingying, how can I make you understand that you taste even better when you're eating?"

Qi Yan's daily life: teasing Yingying, generating mischievous ideas, couples fighting, and eating Yingying.

Xia Ying put down her tablet in the bedroom. It displayed the surveillance footage of the study, showing a young man working diligently.

Xia Ying licked her red lips, still wanting more. Thinking of her friend Luo Jia's words, a year later, she found her answer in her heart.

"Exceptional physical strength and endurance, a truly exceptional man."

But what kind of wicked idea will Qi Yan come up with next? She was really looking forward to it.

Xia Ying's university life went smoothly, except for—her graduation thesis. Everyone has to go through its ordeal, and Xia Ying was no exception.

It wasn't until she finished her defense that Xia Ying felt relieved, and the world finally had color again.

The oppressive atmosphere surrounding her dissipated considerably.

Qi Yan has been busy with the branch office for the past few months, and the two of them have been busy with their own things, so they haven't had a proper time together.

Xia Ying sent him a message to share the good news that she had passed her thesis defense.

"Qi Xiaoyan, I finally have time to spend with you. Are you happy?"

"Really, baby? I'm so happy! But I've been so busy lately. I had Wilon reserve a few haute couture pieces for you, you can try them on today."

New clothes always bring emotional comfort, so Xia Ying had the driver turn around and head straight for Wilson's studio.

"Wilson, this seems a bit too formal."

"Dear Xia, you look too perfect. Please don't reject my work, okay?"

Xia Ying wore a light pink fishtail dress that shimmered in the sunlight, highlighting her perfect waist-to-hip ratio. The open back revealed her beautiful shoulder blades.

At this moment, Xia Ying resembled a mermaid princess preparing to be crowned.

Under Wilson's strong persuasion, Xia Ying went home wearing the dress.

She had a strange feeling about her, and that feeling was answered when she pushed open the door.

"boom--"

As the fireworks went off, colorful sequins and ribbons rained down, welcoming the arrival of Xia Ying.

Xia Ying's high school classmates, the Xia and Qi families, were all gathered here, and the man in the very center, wearing a white suit, was none other than Qi Yan.

"Yingying, welcome home."

He strode up to Xia Ying, knelt on one knee, and held a velvet box in his hands containing a five-carat diamond ring.

"Yingying, I've been looking forward to this day for the past five years. Will you marry me?"

At this moment, the noisy room fell silent as everyone held their breath, eagerly awaiting Xia Ying's reply.

Xia Ying's eyes sparkled as she recovered from her initial shock. She looked down at Qi Yan, her eyes filled with nothing but him.

This is beyond doubt.

She truly found the best and most suitable one for herself.

"I do."

Upon seeing the hand appear before him, Qi Yan immediately put the ring on Xia Ying's finger and stood up to kiss her.

"Yay!" Friends cheered and surrounded the newlyweds to offer their blessings.

Without delay, the two went to the Civil Affairs Bureau the next day to register their marriage and became a newlywed couple.

Meanwhile, at Beijing Airport, a stern-looking man had just disembarked from a plane. He had finished his studies abroad and, based on his overseas experience, had successfully passed the entrance exam for a graduate program at a research institute.

"Huaixiao, it really is you!"

Lin Yitang grabbed Shen Huaixiao, who was wearing a white lab coat, and the excitement on her face seemed genuine.

However, the next second, her hand was forcefully slapped away by the man.

"Ah—" Lin Yitang cried out in pain, clutching her hand and looking at the man in front of her in disbelief.

Back then, Lin Yitang transferred to Shen Huaixiao's school. At first, everything was fine, but then some men would always appear around her, saying they wanted to protect her.

After Shen Huaixiao gradually distanced himself from her, the men around her also disappeared, but the two could never go back to what they used to be.

Lin Yitang didn't want to give up and relentlessly pursued Shen Huaixiao, but not long after, Shen Huaixiao left the country without a word, and the two completely lost contact.

Seeing that she couldn't keep Shen Huaixiao in check, Lin's mother found her another job as a nanny and had her live with her, hoping to use the same trick on the young master of the employer's family.

But the employer wasn't going to take it lying down, and quickly discovered the mother and daughter's disgusting scheme. With a wave of his hand, the employer kicked them out. Lin Yitang was not only expelled from school, but she didn't even have the chance to take the college entrance exam.

Seeing this, Lin's mother sent her to work and took all her wages.

Lin Yitang had always lived in a quagmire, but in her dream, she not only married Shen Huaixiao, but also got everything Xia Ying had!

Now, she has nothing! She is unwilling to accept her fate, which is so different from that in her dream, so she keeps secretly spying on her high school classmates.

Finally, one day, she discovered that Shen Huaixiao had returned, so she came here to create a chance encounter.

However, reality gave her a resounding slap in the face.

After slapping her away, Shen Huaixiao immediately took out an alcohol spray to disinfect his hands.

"So dirty, so dirty, so incredibly dirty!!"
