After My Death, The Villain Blackened Again: Chapter 60

ARC 2: THE FILM EMPEROR FROM HUMBLE ORIGINS (16)

Seeing that Ailin about to cry again, Yan Ge immediately called out: "The meal's here. Come, have something first. We can talk and eat."

She poured some wine for Ailin: "You're still young and haven't experienced much. This isn't something to feel sad about. Here, let's make a toast!"

Ailin: "..."

Ailin was caught in a daze as she held the glass of wine. She thought Yan Ge would beat and curse her. She had even prepared a recording pen in advance.

Yan Ge was so cordial that she was feeling a little overwhelmed.

"These matters between men and women are quite commonplace. You don't need to blame yourself." Yan Ge appeased her: "It's already difficult for a woman to survive in this world. Taking a bite out of a piece of meat you want isn't a big deal."

Qi Yuan, who was eating in silence: "..."

What kind of logic is this? Is this woman really a screenwriter?

However, he has seen her way of handling things. He didn't think she really wanted to have a good relationship with this 'little sister'.

Yan Ge replaced Qi Yuan's wine with fruit juice and continued to talk to Ailin: "Come, have another glass. There's nothing to worry about. A glass of wine can solve anything. If it can't, then we'll have two."

"Xu Jie, it's not—it's not what you think. I really like Wang Ge. I, I never thought about being becoming the little three¹ in someone else's marriage. Xu Jie, I've been suffering so much these past two days, I even thought about committing suicide. I don't want to become the other woman, and I don't want to hurt you even more wuwuwu, but I really can't help myself. I feel like I've become a different person. I'm really afraid of myself..."

"I understand, I understand." Yan Ge supported Ailin unconditionally and poured more wine: "I understand you."

It was as if Ailin had found a confidant: "Xu Jie, I never thought of marrying Wang Ge. I don't want anything, really. Don't misunderstand me, Xu Jie, please don't. Don’t divorce Wang Ge, okay? Wang Ge truly cares about you. He doesn’t want to divorce you at all!"

"Okay, okay, okay. I won't get divorced. Please don't cry. My heart hurts when you cry." She passed a dish to Qi Yuan.

"Xu Jie, you're really a good woman. I'll convince Wang Ge, I'll convince him to be good to you."

"Mhm, that's good, thank you. You're a good girl."

"Xu Jie, you have such a big heart. I feel like you're my sister. It's really nice."

Yan Ge patted her chest: "Having a big chest means having a big heart. This wine is good. Drink some more so it won't go to waste."

Qi Yuan quietly glanced at Yan Ge's chest that was akin to an airport runway then swept his eyes over the large curve on Ailin's chest. He lowered his head and continued to eat his food.

"I've been out in the world for so many years, I never thought I could meet a good person like Xu Jie. Xu Jie, I really, really like you!"

"En, I like you too. You're like my little sister."

"Xu Jie, you have a little sister?"

"Yes, your Wang Ge has recognized many little sisters everywhere. How many are there? I'll introduce you some other time. You're all such good girls."

Ailin: "..."

They chatted merrily for a long time. When Yan Ge saw Qi Yuan no longer moving his chopsticks, she turned to him and asked: "Are you full?"

Qi Yuan nodded.

Yan Ge stood up and smiled at Ailin: "Thank you for inviting us to dinner. I feel honored to have spoken so much with you. I think you're a very good girl, I misunderstood you before. I'm going home with A Yuan now. Bye-bye, let's meet again in the future."

1. Little three (小三–xiǎo sān)means mistress or the ‘other woman’, though I guess it could also be used for the male counterpart↩︎

I give Yan Ge 10 stars for that smooth operation.
