I Became the Henchman of a Novel’s Villain

Chapter 62 – Li Tai: I Feel Like the Hat on My Head Isn’t So Secure!

After returning to the living room, Ye Qiantong went straight to the kitchen. This time, she really was going to get tea for Bai Zhou.

Li Tai and Li Yonggang hadn’t noticed anything unusual. Li Yonggang was still stubbornly saying: “Dad! I just don’t like Uncle Zhou’s daughter! Can you stop trying to marry her to me? If you have to form an alliance this way, why not marry Zhou Siyun to Bai Zhou instead?”

“What the—?!” Bai Zhou, just about to sit down, heard this sentence and almost missed the chair!

Damn! Yonggang! I advise you to be kind!

Li Tai, hearing Li Yonggang’s words, was obviously stunned too.

But at that moment, a sharp voice interrupted: “No way!!”

The three people in the living room turned their heads in unison. They saw Ye Qiantong standing at the kitchen door, holding a cup of tea, firmly objecting! Especially that look in her eyes.

To Li Tai and Li Yonggang, it seemed serious.

But to Bai Zhou, it was jealousy!

Bai Zhou silently cursed in his heart: “My dear sister-in-law!! Could you be a little more restrained?!!”

Bai Zhou was realizing more and more that this family was a bunch of lunatics! Ye Qiantong, this crazy woman, would do anything for his “charms.” Li Yonggang was adorably foolish. As for Li Tai, damn, this old guy was doing everything he could to put a green hat on his own head!

“Can I still be a good lackey in peace?” Bai Zhou thought helplessly.

Ye Qiantong quickly realized what she had said and adjusted her composure, placing the tea in front of Bai Zhou before walking over to Li Tai.

She whispered in Li Tai’s ear: “No matter how much you trust Bai Zhou, he’s still an outsider.”

Upon hearing this, Li Tai’s face lit up with a hint of joy.

Looking at Ye Qiantong with satisfaction, he said: “Tongtong, I’ve been thinking the same!”

As he spoke, he was about to reach for Ye Qiantong’s hand. However, Ye Qiantong deftly dodged, walked over to Li Yonggang, and said: “Yonggang, you mustn’t say such foolish things again.”

With just two sentences, Ye Qiantong dissolved the earlier awkwardness. When Ye Qiantong avoided Li Tai’s touch, he didn’t think anything was wrong. In fact, he even said: “Listen to your stepmother!”

Bai Zhou shook his head slowly, took a sip of tea, and gave Ye Qiantong a thumbs-up. Ye Qiantong threw a seductive wink at Bai Zhou. Bai Zhou immediately turned away.

Out of sight, out of mind!

Li Yonggang was still stubbornly saying: “Dad, stepmom, stop trying to persuade me! I’ll never marry anyone but Mu Qingqing in this lifetime!”

With that, he turned and left.

“You brat! Get back here!!”

Whether it was due to frustration or fear of getting beaten by Li Tai, Li Yonggang quickened his pace, even breaking into a run, fleeing the living room.

Li Yonggang may have been adorably dumb, but he was smart enough to know what to say and what not to say.

For example, what he saw at the hotel yesterday between Bai Zhou and Zhou Siyun—he would never tell Li Tai about that. Saying such things would damage the reputations of both the Li family and the Zhou family, and it wouldn’t be good for Bai Zhou either.

So, he wouldn’t mention it. He was satisfied just knowing in his heart that Zhou Siyun was Bai Zhou’s woman!

If Bai Zhou knew what Li Yonggang was thinking, he would’ve definitely said: “Yonggang, you’re overthinking this!!”

“Sigh—” At this point, Li Tai stood up from the sofa and let out a long sigh: “That brat is getting harder to control as he grows older!”

Then he turned to Bai Zhou and said: “Bai Zhou, it’s clear that Yonggang still listens to you. When you have time, try to talk some sense into him.”

“Got it, boss.”

Then, Li Tai added: “Bai Zhou, in a bit, drive your sister-in-law to Binhe Theater. After lunch, meet me at Dong’an Bar. I’ll be waiting for you there.”

Me? Drive? Take your wife? Man, you’re worried the green hat on your head isn’t secure enough, aren’t you?

But since the boss had given the order, Bai Zhou could only nod in agreement.

Ye Qiantong’s smile was as bright as spring.

Li Tai saw Ye Qiantong’s smile but didn’t think much of it, saying: “Tongtong, what’s got you so happy? Is it just because you get to play mahjong with your friends?”

“Of course!” Ye Qiantong replied with a charming smile. “This is my only form of entertainment. How can I not be happy?”

Hearing this, Li Tai felt a bit guilty and said: “It’s my fault for neglecting you. In a few days, I’ll have Bai Zhou drive you out for a nice trip!”

“Sounds good! I’m fine with that.” Ye Qiantong’s expression remained unchanged on the surface.

But inside, she was ecstatic!!

At this point, Bai Zhou was dumbfounded. He looked at Li Tai’s back and couldn’t help but give him a thumbs-up, muttering silently to himself: “My dear big brother, my good boss, you’re truly something else!”

Ye Qiantong had changed into a fitted cheongsam that accentuated her figure. She had already taken a seat in the back of Bai Zhou’s car.

Bai Zhou started the engine and left Li Tai’s villa. Just after passing a specific intersection, Ye Qiantong asked Bai Zhou to stop the car and immediately moved to the passenger seat.

She placed her long legs in their “usual spot.”

Alright.

Bai Zhou: numb.

Whatever happens, happens. This crazy woman can do whatever she wants. After all, it’s not like I’m losing out, right?
