Chapter 134: Running Cover!
Ye Xiao’s brain was spinning at full speed.
A scumbag like Ye Chen deserved to be exposed and shamed—how could someone like him be allowed to charm such a beautiful big sister?
Absolutely not! She refused to let it happen!
“Little girl, what a coincidence. You live here too?” Seeing Ye Xiao appear, Xiao Ruotong responded instinctively.
So the little girl she’d bumped into at the movie theater actually lived in the same residential area?
Quite the fate.
Everyone loves beauty, and girls like Ye Xiao—with that deceptive, adorable, loli charm—were especially beloved by older sisters.
“System Sis, help me come up with a plan to expose Ye Chen’s scumbag behavior!”
“No problem, Host!”
Right after System Sis agreed to Ye Xiao’s request, Ye Chen’s phone suddenly rang.
As he pulled out his phone, a few movie tickets fell out—they’d been stuck to the phone case, likely from all the movies he’d watched today and hadn’t had a chance to throw away.
Just like pulling out a radish brings up dirt, when he took out his phone, several tickets scattered onto the ground.
“Eww, what’s this? Big brother, you dropped something!” Ye Xiao, quick-eyed as always, immediately noticed they were movie tickets.
A man watching the same movie multiple times in one day—wasn’t this ironclad proof of a scumbag?
What kind of normal person watches the same movie eight times?
“Wait a sec… why are there eight movie tickets?” Xiao Ruotong bent down to help Ye Xiao pick them up, her expression turning dark.
“Ye Chen… you watched this with other women today too?”
The air instantly turned ice-cold. The atmosphere was suffocating.
Just moments ago, she had been blushing, slightly flustered, developing feelings for him.
Now her expression turned icy. No wonder Ye Chen said he was busy today.
No wonder he seemed distracted during the movie.
So he’d already watched “Wolf War 3” three times before this?!
No woman could accept the man she liked dating other girls on the same day, let alone taking them to see the exact same movie.
Unacceptable. Totally unacceptable.
And now, with the evidence right in front of her, what was there left to say?
Ye Chen had just ended a phone call—strangely robotic, like an AI for some reason.
But just as he hung up, he realized something was off.
Xiao Ruotong was standing under the streetlight, face stormy. Even though the lighting was dim, Ye Chen could clearly see her expression—completely different from her earlier shyness.
In her hand, she held eight glaringly obvious movie tickets.
Ye Chen was stunned on the spot. Crap! I got busted?!
Today’s time management operation had been meticulously planned.
He’d thought through every angle, covered every detail—there was no way anything could go wrong.
Yet in the end, one small, stupid mistake had exposed everything.
Not even jumping into the Yellow River could wash this off now!
Damn it—if only he’d tossed those movie tickets right after the screenings!
Stay calm. Gotta stay calm.
I can’t let this blow up tonight—I need to bluff my way through!
Ye Chen forced himself to calm down. His mind raced.
“Xiaotong, what’s wrong?” He pretended not to notice the tickets in her hand, putting on an indifferent front.
“Ye Chen, are you seriously still going to pretend? I know you’re rich, and I know beautiful girls throw themselves at you. But why do you have to stomp all over my self-respect?”
“Going to the movies with two different girls in one day—do you think that’s fun?”
“If you don’t like me, you could’ve just rejected me! Why did you have to get my hopes up, move me with your actions, and then go out with someone else?”
“I don’t get it. I really don’t. Did you ever stop to consider my feelings?”
“You scumbag—get lost! I never want to see you again!” Xiao Ruotong’s eyes reddened with fury.
“So this is what it comes down to? A few movie tickets, and now you don’t trust me?”
“All that I did for you, meant nothing?”
“So in your heart, I’m not even worth a sliver of trust?”
Ye Chen’s voice turned cold, a bitter, self-mocking expression on his face.
“What?” Xiao Ruotong stared in disbelief.
She couldn’t believe it—with hard evidence in her hands, Ye Chen was still twisting the story? Acting like she was the one at fault?
“What?” Ye Xiao was also completely stunned.
This guy—how could he have such shamelessly thick skin? Even now, he could lie with a straight face?
“How am I supposed to trust you? The facts are right in front of me! You watched a movie with another girl earlier and then took me to the same one. You’ve gone too far! What do you take me for, an idiot?”
Faced with Xiao Ruotong’s sharp accusations, Ye Chen didn’t respond.
He simply picked up his phone and dialed a number.
“Ask Chen Wenyang yourself. He’ll tell you whether I watched a movie with him today.”
“Ring… Ring…”
It took a full minute for the call to connect.
“Hello? Chen-ge, it’s so late—what do you need?” The voice on the other end was groveling, overly eager to please.
Ye Xiao calmly observed. This Chen Wenyang must be someone both Ye Chen and Xiao Ruotong knew, or else Ye Chen wouldn’t be calling him right now.
“Chen Wenyang, this is Xiao Ruotong. I want to ask—did Ye Chen go to the movies with you today?” Xiao Ruotong’s voice was firm and cold.
“Movies?” Chen Wenyang was caught completely off guard.
Ye Chen didn’t have time to hang out with an old high school buddy like him all day—movies together? Total fantasy.
The guy spent all his time chasing girls. Back in high school, their relationship wasn’t even that close.
Ye Chen was just moderately good-looking and had nothing special going for him.
If it weren’t for the fact that he had some local connections in Binhai, Ye Chen wouldn’t have contacted him.
Only recently had he learned that Ye Chen was actually a rich second-gen—basically from a family with a literal gold mine.
“We did! ‘Wolf War 3’, right? It’s been super popular lately. I originally planned to watch it with my girlfriend today, but she had something come up, so I dragged Chen-ge along instead.”
Chen Wenyang finally caught on and quickly started covering for Ye Chen, his admiration for him growing endlessly.
After all, Xiao Ruotong was the school goddess back in high school—cold to everyone, never a single rumor, and reportedly from a wealthy family.
And now, she was out this late at night… with Ye Chen? What more explanation did he need?
“Alright, that’s all. Sorry to bother you so late.” Xiao Ruotong’s tone softened noticeably as she hung up.
Ye Xiao instantly showed a disdainful expression.
This Chen Wenyang was sharp—he immediately realized Ruotong was basically interrogating Ye Chen.
Men covering for each other like this was so cliché.
Today you cover for me, tomorrow I cover for you.
And besides, Ye Chen was driving a Gabudikairon—a status symbol. Doing him a small favor in exchange for goodwill was a steal.
But what about the eight movie tickets in Xiao Ruotong’s hand?
Ye Chen only explained away two of them using his high school buddy excuse.
What about the other six?
And—Ye Xiao had already saved a video earlier of Ye Chen getting slapped in the cinema.
That was her trump card.
