Chapter 118 The Frail White Moonlight in a Substitute Abusive Novel 15

Fu Shiheng patted Yun Qing's head reassuringly and said, "Secretary Ruan is just asking you to give her a job opportunity."

Yun Qing: ...Do I really look like an idiot? She's clearly trying to steal my man, okay?

She mentally scoffed, but outwardly relaxed, took Fu Shiheng's arm, looked at the hurt-filled Ruan Weiwei, and said in a soft, innocent voice, "Miss Ruan, it's no use asking me for help. This is Brother Shiheng's company, I can't make the decision."

Ruan Weiwei felt extremely embarrassed facing Yun Qing's gaze, as if her dignity had been trampled underfoot and her self-esteem had been greatly hurt.

How could Fu Shiheng be so cruel as to trample her into the mud while Shen Yunqing magnanimously pities her?

Did he ever consider her feelings? How could he trample on her sincere feelings like this? Is his heart made of stone?

Fu Shiheng ignored her miserable and distressed appearance. He turned to look at Yun Qing and said with a light laugh, "It's not that I can't make the decision, but Secretary Ruan is indeed not suitable for this job."

Yun Qing blinked and nodded as if she understood, "I'll listen to Brother Shi Heng."

Fu Shiheng couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek. So sweet.

Fu Shiheng then looked up at Ruan Weiwei, the warmth in his eyes instantly vanishing, replaced by indifference.

"Ruan Weiwei, you're fired. Cheng Lin, you'll handle this personally."

After saying that, he suddenly thought of something and changed his mind, saying, "Never mind, let Sun Lei go instead. Don't delay the matter of buying pastries."

Upon hearing about pastries, Yun Qing looked at Cheng Lin with longing eyes.

The feeling of not being able to eat was really unpleasant, and those pastries were one of the few things that could give her an appetite.

Fu Shiheng reached out and pressed down on the top of her head, turning her head to face him. He frowned and said, "Just eating pastries won't do. I'll find more chefs and see if we can make some dishes that suit your taste."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qing reached out and hugged his neck, gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, smiled sweetly, and said in a coquettish voice, "Brother Shi Heng is the best to me."

Fu Shiheng couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her hair, chuckling, "Good to know."

Ruan Weiwei stared blankly at the two's intimate actions with red eyes until Cheng Lin spoke up: "Miss Ruan, please don't disturb President Fu's work."

He then made a gesture of invitation, politely ushering them away.

Work? His job is to be all lovey-dovey with Shen Yunqing?

Ruan Weiwei found it ridiculous, but she couldn't care less about that now; she couldn't lose her job.

"Mr. Fu, I did not make any mistakes at work, you cannot fire me."

Fu Shiheng was already impatient with further nonsense, glanced at Cheng Lin and said, "Call security."

Ruan Weiwei realized that he was determined to get rid of her, and she panicked a little. She cried and pleaded, "President Fu, I know I was wrong. My mother is sick and needs medical expenses. I really need this job. Please forgive me."

As a pure and kind-hearted "white moonlight" (a term of endearment for a woman), Yun Qing, clinging to Fu Shiheng's neck, turned to look at Ruan Weiwei with her face almost touching his, and said with sympathy, "Brother Shiheng, she's so pitiful. I'll give her my allowance for this month."

Ruan Weiwei trembled with anger upon hearing this; it was clearly a blatant insult.

Fu Shiheng lowered the chair armrests, then put his arm around Yun Qing's waist so she wouldn't have to hang so awkwardly. Seeing her silly look, he patiently explained to her:

“I just wanted her to be transferred from the president’s office. I even offered her a higher salary and a better career prospect for the new position, but she refused and insisted on making a scene. Do you know what that means?”

Yun Qing thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, “It means she doesn’t need this job and money as much as she claims.”

She couldn't help but fumious and said, "She lied to me!"

"Yes, so don't be silly and let people scam you out of your money."

Yun Qing nodded repeatedly.

Fu Shiheng's analysis made perfect sense, but in reality, Ruan Weiwei really needed money, and her mother was genuinely sick.

In the original storyline, Ruan Weiwei was heartbroken and disillusioned after being hurt by Fu Shiheng, and was preparing to leave him when her mother's condition worsened. As a result, she had no choice but to compromise herself and continue to entangle with the male lead for the sake of money.

However, she clearly needed money, but in order to be a little closer to the male lead, she gave up a higher-paying job, and now she has ended up losing her job altogether.

Yun Qing really couldn't understand the thought process of this female protagonist in the abusive novel.

However, this kind of thought process seems to be quite beneficial to the development of the plot.

Just like now, Ruan Weiwei has lost her job, and she will definitely have an even harder time afterward.

Perhaps before long, she will be desperate and come to the male lead for help, enduring humiliation and voluntarily asking to be his substitute lover.

As the male protagonist and his beloved get to know each other better, their relationship grows stronger, but he is concerned about her health and dares not touch her. He is desperate to release his pent-up emotions.

The two hit it off immediately.

A scumbag will treat this substitute as a gold digger who only cares about money, and will naturally humiliate and disrespect her at will.

The female protagonist is forced to become a substitute lover, and even though she receives money, she will not be happy, but rather in great pain.

Because she loves the male lead!

Being used as a substitute by the male lead was already painful enough for her, but she also had to endure all sorts of humiliation from him for money. It was just too cruel.

Wouldn't that bring the plot back to the familiar path of a tragic love story?

Yun Qing felt that she had figured it out.

No wonder the system wasn't worried at all; it turns out the plot would automatically correct itself after going off track.

While Yun Qing was imagining things, Ruan Weiwei had already been escorted away by security, and Cheng Lin was also busy with work.

When she came to her senses, she realized that she was still clinging to Fu Shiheng's neck.

He flipped through the documents with one hand while keeping his other arm around her waist.

Yun Qing: ...Why does he look so much like a tyrannical emperor who takes his concubine to court?

She quickly let go of his hand, sat up straight, and said with a blush, "I...I didn't mean to disturb your work."

Fu Shiheng turned to look at her, raising an eyebrow and saying, "You're just afraid your brother will be taken away, so you want to assert your dominance, right?"

This little girl has quite a few thoughts.

Yun Qing was dumbfounded. Fu Shiheng had actually seen through her little scheme?

Even though the original owner's actions were much more obvious in the original story, he never noticed anything was wrong and always thought his white moonlight was very innocent.

[System, have I fallen from my usual persona?]

[No, Shen Yunqing wasn't that naive to begin with. It's just that the male lead didn't realize it in the original story. Now that he has, that's his problem.]

Yun Qing: That makes sense!

Her eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she frantically tried to explain, "I'm sorry, I just...I..."

Fu Shiheng pulled the person onto his lap and frowned, saying, "Why are you still crying?"

Yun Qing grabbed his sleeve, looking at him with teary eyes, and said, "Brother Shiheng, please don't hate me. I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again next time."

The reason why scumbags are so fond of their "white moonlight" is because she is innocent and harmless, which makes them feel protective of her.

The innocent and harmless image of the "white moonlight" has now been shrouded in shadow.

Moreover, her scheming will only become more and more cunning later on, but she is also quite naive. To put it simply, the reason why her little schemes can achieve their goals is entirely because the male lead is blind to them.

But now that Fu Shiheng has suddenly become so shrewd, her little tricks will definitely be seen through.

As her image crumbles step by step, Fu Shiheng's affection for her will surely fade away quickly.

Does that mean her screen time will be much less than in the original story?

Just as she was basking in the joy of her impending reduction in workload, Fu Shiheng cupped her face, gently wiping her reddened eyes with his fingertips, and sighed, "Who said you did something wrong?"

Yun Qing: ? ? ?

"You did a great job, keep it up next time!"

Yun Qing: ...
