Forced Love: The Villainous Female Supporting Character is Kissed and Cried by the Yandere Villain

Hearing her threat, Lu Jingci didn't move or dodge, but just sighed, his tone unreadable, neither indulging nor resigned.

Xu Wuning waited for two seconds, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she leaned forward and moved closer.

Just as they were about to kiss, a thunderous roar came from behind.

"Ningning! Aren't you supposed to be at home studying company affairs? What are you doing here?!"

Xu Zhenghong's voice was so loud that even with the partition and music, several people on the top floor looked over. Besides him and Wen Fuzhou, there were two other people at their table, and they quickly came over as well.

"What's wrong?"

"It seems Zheng Hong's daughter is pursuing Lu's son again. Let's go take a look."

Xu Wuning was startled by the shout and stood up abruptly, almost knocking over the cup on the table.

Wait, how come I actually ran into someone I know? And it's the person I know best. Luckily, they weren't actually having an affair.

She saw her father standing two steps away with a livid face, and next to him stood Wen Fuzhou, who was smiling like a fox with ill intent.

"Dad?" Xu Wuning blinked, her mind racing, and forced a sweet smile. "What are you doing here?"

Xu Zhenghong was furious: "Don't call me Dad, you're my dad!"

Xu Wuning: "..."

Lu Jingci remained completely calm. He stood up and nodded slightly, his politeness impeccable. "Uncle Xu, Uncle Wen, you're here too. Please sit down."

Wen Fuzhou laughed so hard his eyes almost disappeared. Without any ceremony, he plopped down, crossed his legs, glanced back and forth between Lu Jingci and Xu Wuning, and then looked at Xu Zhenghong provocatively.

The look in his eyes meant: Serves you right, I caught you.

Xu Zhenghong stood there, watching his two old business buddies walk over. His lips trembled slightly as he realized he had exaggerated earlier, but he couldn't show it due to the occasion.

Wen Fuzhou spoke slowly, his tone feigning understanding and tolerance: "Jingci, your Uncle Xu and I came here for no other reason than..."

"You must really hate being bothered by Ningning, right? We understand that young people are shy and find it hard to refuse."

He was as kind as an elder who cares for his juniors, saying, "We'll take Ningning away now, so as not to cause you any trouble."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhenghong's expression darkened further.

What does "harassment" mean? What does "causing trouble" mean? This is a veiled criticism of the Xu family's daughter for being persistent and clingy.

Lu Jingci didn't rush to reply. His gaze fell on Wen Fuzhou's amused face, then casually swept over Xu Zhenghong's ashen face.

He got it.

Xu Wuning understood.

She crossed her arms and slowly curled the corners of her lips into a smile:

"Dad, Uncle Wen, I saw some documents on my phone that I didn't understand, so I came here specifically to ask Lu Jingci for help. Is there a problem?"

Wen Fuzhou gave an "Oh," then drew out his question, "Why did you specifically ask Jingci for advice? Your company has so many people, where are the consultants and teachers your dad hired for you?"

"Ningning, although your Xu family is of decent standing and not some impoverished clan, Jingci doesn't like you."

"Just like how you didn't like our Ah Zhong back then, constantly pestering him will only make you lose face. You should learn from our Ah Zhong and have self-respect."

"Who are you calling shameless?" Xu Zhenghong was trembling with anger, wishing he could punch Wen Fuzhou's arrogant face.

Xu Wuning, however, was not angry. She looked innocent and said, "Uncle Wen, the reason I came to ask Lu Jingci for advice is because we have a good relationship."

As she said this, she stretched her foot out from under the table and hooked it around Lu Jingci's leg.

Lu Jingci stiffened slightly, but did not move away.

Xu Wuning met Wen Fuzhou's scrutinizing gaze, her smile widening, and spoke to Lu Jingci:

"Brother Aci, weren't we just talking about this? Tell Uncle Wen, what's our relationship?"

As she spoke, she stomped heavily on Lu Jingci's foot to signal him.

Lu Jingci silently withdrew his foot, which had been stepped on, and replied, word by word, "Girlfriend."

"Ningning is my girlfriend."

The words were spoken at just the right volume, so that everyone present could hear them clearly.

Xu Wuning's eyes involuntarily slanted upwards. "You're pretty quick-witted, kid."

Xu Zhenghong swayed, his expression shifting from shock to bewilderment, and his voice changed: "What did you say?"

Wen Fuzhou was completely stunned. In his mind, the Lu family's child was a loner and hated all the entanglements of love and affection.

He thought that Lu Jingci would remain silent, and then Xu Wuning would be taken away in a sorry state, making Xu Zhenghong lose face completely...

Wen Fuzhou's smile completely vanished. "Jing Ci, I know you have a good personality. You don't need to cover for this girl. It's rumored in the industry that you don't like her..."

"Uncle Wen," Lu Jingci interrupted him directly, his tone still kind but leaving no room for doubt, "I don't have the habit of covering for others. Ningning is indeed my girlfriend, and I have been pursuing her and trying to win her favor."

"As for Uncle Wen's reliance on those messy rumors in the industry, it makes me doubt his judgment in the business world over the years."

"Therefore, I think the cooperation between the Lu family and the Wen family needs to be reconsidered."

Wen Fuzhou had always wanted to see Xu Zhenghong make a fool of himself, but he never expected to become the fool himself. The cooperation that was supposed to be agreed upon was now about to fall apart.

He stumbled and lost his balance, his face turning deathly pale. "What did you say? Jingci, you child, don't joke around. Didn't we agree on everything a few days ago? We were just waiting to sign the contract..."

"My daughter, Wen Yao, has always liked you, and I was even thinking about a future marriage between us..."

Lu Jingci's voice was gentle: "Uncle Wen, I don't like to joke."

His faint smile remained unchanged, but his words were extremely hurtful: "And as for the arranged marriage, Uncle Wen, are you still dreaming?"

"I have a girlfriend. Even if it's an arranged marriage, it should be me discussing it with Uncle Xu. What business is it of yours, Uncle Wen, with me?"

He paused, then his smile deepened as he looked at Xu Zhenghong. "Aren't you right, Uncle Xu?"

"Huh?" Xu Zhenghong was taken aback, but to spite Wen Fuzhou, he nodded, "Yeah, yeah."

He had always disliked the Lu family's son, feeling that the boy was seducing his precious daughter with his good looks.

But now, looking at Wen Fuzhou's constipated face, for the first time in his life, he found the kid so pleasing to the eye.

Lu Jingci became even more gentle and kind: "We'll be discussing the marriage next month. Uncle Xu will be marrying Ningning to me, right?"

He glanced at Wen Fuzhou out of the corner of his eye, then gave Xu Zhenghong a look, waiting for Xu Zhenghong's answer...
