When the Female Lead Becomes Obsessive – Chapter 5

Volume One: Those Years I Was a CEO

The female lead went gay.

Her mother has recovered well; her face is no longer sallow, her complexion is much improved, and she looks vibrant.

You Jiayi packed her luggage, and they would be discharged in a couple of days.

Suddenly, a knock sounded on the hospital room door. You Jiayi watched the man walking toward her. He was dressed in a sharp suit, tall and slender, and wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He looked like a mature, stable, and sophisticated man.

He walked up to You Jiayi and politely smiled, “Miss You, hello. I am your agent, Shu Changning¹.”

Shu Changning, a well-known agent with extraordinary abilities, had once managed two Best Actress winners and three Best Actor winners, enjoying unparalleled popularity in the entertainment industry.

“Why are you taking me?” You Jiayi looked at him.

Shu Changning paused, not expecting You Jiayi to ask such a question. He smiled and replied, “I greatly admire ladies like Miss You, who are resilient, unyielding, and persevering.”

“Mr. Shu, you don’t need to be so courteous,” You Jiayi said to him plainly. “You’re managing me at Xu Wen Nuan’s request, isn’t it?”

Shu Changning raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Miss You is very astute.”

You Jiayi lowered her eyes, “It’s not that I’m smart; it’s that she never tries to hide what she does.”

Shu Changning looked at You Jiayi’s expression and sensed that there was some kind of story between these two, but he would not interfere too much in his artists’ private lives.

He extended his hand and smiled, “Pleasant cooperation?”

You Jiayi shook his hand and smiled faintly, “Pleasant cooperation.”

Since their last meeting in the hospital, Wen Nuan had not taken the initiative to find the female lead. Primarily, the female lead’s resistance had been too obvious that time, and she was embarrassed to go and bother her, lest it increase her blackening value.

【The female lead’s blackening value is 3.5 now. Once her acting career flourishes, we can complete the mission,】 the system breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Nuan nodded, “With a golden agent like Shu Changning managing her, the female lead will definitely win the Best Actress award and achieve perfect harmony in her life. It’s just around the corner.”

The two were lost in a reverie of the bright future.

Suddenly, the phone on the desk rang.

Wen Nuan answered, “Hello?”

“President, Miss You Jiayi would like to see you. May I let her up?” It was the receptionist from the lobby.

The female lead is coming to see her?

Probably to thank her.

Wen Nuan replied, “Let her come up.”

“Okay.”

You Jiayi watched the receptionist hang up the phone, smiled, and led her to the elevator, pressing the button for the 36th floor. “The president is on the 36th floor. Miss You can go straight up.”

You Jiayi smiled, “Thank you.”

The elevator did not stop and went straight to the 36th floor.

As the elevator doors opened, a man was already waiting for her at the elevator entrance.

“Miss You, this way, please.” Wei Cheng² led You Jiayi to the office door and knocked. “President, Miss You has arrived.”

“Come in,” a voice came from inside.

Wei Cheng opened the door and invited You Jiayi in, “Miss You, please.”

You Jiayi nodded, “Thank you.”

She took a deep breath and walked into the office.

The person at the desk looked up at her, and their eyes met. For a moment, they remained silent for a long time.

Wen Nuan took the initiative to speak first, “Did you need something from me?”

The female lead kept looking at her without saying a word, her ink-black pupils staring directly at her, making her feel a chill down her spine.

Her voice trailed off, but the silence continued.

Her fingers unconsciously tapped the desk, and the crisp sound of her fingertips touching the surface seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet space.

“I went looking for that video, but it had been deliberately destroyed,” You Jiayi’s clear and cold voice suddenly broke the silence.

That video from the hotel had indeed been destroyed. If it hadn’t been for the system providing it, she wouldn’t have been able to find it.

It was probably Mingxin Entertainment who was behind it. The hotel manager and the shareholder of Mingxin Entertainment were known to be cronies, and many artists from Mingxin Entertainment had been taken advantage of at that hotel.

Wen Nuan said softly, “Yes, it was Mingxin Entertainment’s doing.”

“Then how did you find the video?”

Wen Nuan looked at her, interlacing her fingers and resting her chin on the back of her hands, “I have my ways.”

You Jiayi suddenly laughed, sounding particularly mocking.

“What are you laughing at?” Wen Nuan felt a little creeped out by the female lead’s laughter.

You Jiayi’s eyebrows turned colder, her voice calm and without emotion, “In other words, when I was being cyberbullied, you clearly had this video, but you did nothing about it, right?”

Wen Nuan: “…”

This, she hadn’t thought of.

Mainly because she had already left this mission world at that time, and the original owner was frolicking abroad, completely oblivious to what was happening in the country.

Even if the original owner knew, she wouldn’t have cared, since the original owner didn’t know You Jiayi at all.

Seeing Wen Nuan’s silence, You Jiayi let out a bitter laugh, “So, what is the purpose of what you’re doing now?”

Wen Nuan licked her dry lips and looked at You Jiayi, “I was abroad at that time, and the news wasn’t readily available, so I didn’t know so many things had happened to you. I’m sorry.”

【That’s a rather awkward excuse,】 the system thought the female lead wouldn’t believe it.

“What else can I say? Can I say it wasn’t me back then, so I couldn’t save you?” Wen Nuan couldn’t reveal the existence of the system to the people in the mission world.

Being abroad and not having access to news…

You Jiayi found it very funny.

How could the president of Xu Corporation not easily find out about the news from the country?!

What was the point of her asking these questions?

Why bother to humiliate herself?

“The video was edited, wasn’t it?” You Jiayi looked at her.

Wen Nuan frowned, “Yes, but the fact that Tan Xin drugged you is true.”

“What about you?” You Jiayi walked in front of the desk, leaned forward, resting her hands on the desk, and looked at her intently.

Xu Wen Nuan’s pupils were very clear, like a clear spring. The reflection in her eyes was somewhat hysterical.

Too hideous.

“Whether you drugged me… is that also true?” she gritted her teeth, her voice filled with obvious anger.

Wen Nuan avoided her gaze and lowered her eyes, “…Yes.”

“Then do you know why I knew that the drug I drank wasn’t from Tan Xin, but from you?”

Wen Nuan thought that You Jiayi was certain she had been drugged by her because she had personally sent the female lead into the male lead’s room, so You Jiayi was definitely sure it was her who drugged her.

But the fact that You Jiayi asked this question meant that there was another truth to the matter.

“Why?” Wen Nuan asked.

You Jiayi sighed, “Because I saw it.”

Wen Nuan: “…”

The female lead had actually seen her drugging her?

Then why did she drink that glass of wine?

“Because you handed me that glass of wine.”

The thought in Wen Nuan’s mind was unconsciously blurted out.

But the female lead’s answer made her mind go blank for a moment.

Wen Nuan couldn’t help but sigh as she looked at You Jiayi, “If I gave you a glass of poison, would you willingly drink it too?”

Didn’t this female lead have any wariness at all?!

You Jiayi’s gaze was deep, and her thin lips parted slightly as she softly said, “Willingly, as long as it’s from you, I’m willing to drink it.”

Wen Nuan gasped and kept calling out to the system in her heart.

“Tongzi, this female lead is crazy, right? What…what does she mean by this?”

System: 【Based on the female lead’s feelings, eyes, words, and actions towards you, it can be inferred that the female lead has developed different feelings for the host. In humans, this feeling is called □□ love. In other words, the female lead became gay because of you, which is why the female lead didn’t end up in bed with the male lead that night.】

The female lead went gay!

This joke was too big!

You Jiayi looked at Wen Nuan’s unbelievable expression, her pupils dilated, and a look of horror on her face.

So her confession was so frightening to her.

What was wrong with her?

What was the point of questioning all of this?

Even if Xu Wen Nuan had drugged her in the first place, Xu Wen Nuan had now helped her so much. Wasn’t she profiting from it?

So why was she still hoping for other things?

Xu Wen Nuan had already answered her long ago. Why did she shamelessly want to get close to her?

Did she have to make Xu Wen Nuan disgusted with her and hate her for her to be willing?

You Jiayi, how disgusting are you?

“I’m sorry, I misspoke. Just pretend you didn’t hear it,” You Jiayi forced a smile that was uglier than crying. “I came here today just to thank you for your help during this time. I’m grateful that Yixin Entertainment signed a contract with me. Next, no matter what work the company assigns me, I will actively cooperate.”

“I will pay back the money I owe President Xu as soon as possible. Please wait a little longer, President Xu.” You Jiayi bowed deeply to Wen Nuan and bit her lip, “Thank you, President Xu.”

With everything said, You Jiayi turned around without any reluctance and left the office.

The moment she closed the door, tears burst out.

She personally destroyed her own crush.

You Jiayi had been gone for a long time before Wen Nuan reacted to the fact that she was gone.

Looking at the empty office, her mood was the same.

It was like something had quietly disappeared.

Wen Nuan sat weakly on the chair and muttered, “What is this?”

She turned the female lead gay?

Which caused this mission world to fail?

“What about the Dao of Heaven³? Aren’t the female and male leads supposed to be attracted to each other? Why was she turned gay by me?” Wen Nuan grabbed her head and roared.

System: 【Under the support of the Dao of Heaven, the male and female leads will be attracted to each other, but emotions are the most mysterious and uncontrollable things. The Dao of Heaven only provides opportunities for the male and female leads to more easily develop feelings, but the Dao of Heaven will not forcibly cause the male and female leads to have feelings for no reason. Otherwise, the existence of mission-takers would be unnecessary.】

【Mission-takers need to create opportunities for the male and female leads and, with the support of the Dao of Heaven, help the male and female leads get together and walk toward perfect harmony in life.】

【But obviously, the opportunity you created didn’t help the male and female leads. On the contrary, you turned the female lead gay.】 The system sighed.

Wen Nuan: “…”

She was speechless.

“Is there any room for redemption?” Wen Nuan’s mind was now filled with the fact that the female lead had been turned gay, her mission was going to be over, and her points were going to be completely frozen. “What’s the female lead’s blackening value now?”

The system checked: 【The female lead’s blackening value is now 4. It has increased.】

Wen Nuan said in horror, “It has increased?!”

【Yes, it has increased!】 The system showed the data to Wen Nuan.

“…..” Wen Nuan’s heart turned to ashes, but she had a thought, “What if I turned the female lead back straight? “

Since she could turn the female lead gay, she could definitely turn her straight!

The system was silent for a moment: 【…You can try.】

That night.

You Jiayi watched the phone on the bed vibrate repeatedly.

She opened it and saw that it was Xu Wen Nuan’s WeChat messages, dozens of unread messages.

She clicked on them and saw a vast collection of pictures of boys.

Various styles, various types, everything was available.

There were successful people in suits, elegant young men in ancient costumes, nerdy teenagers dressed as anime characters, and mixed-race male models who were almost nude.

Some of the pictures even included Qi He’s photos.

You Jiayi: “…..”

She once suspected that Wen Nuan’s WeChat had been hacked, but the next words made You Jiayi’s heart turn cold.

—Wen Nuan: Do you like any of them? I can introduce them to you.

You Jiayi: “…..”

Seeing that You Jiayi had read the message but didn’t reply, Wen Nuan thought that maybe she was dissatisfied with those earlier ones. She was about to send some more pictures to You Jiayi, but she found that she couldn’t send them.

Looking at the red exclamation mark that popped up, Wen Nuan fell silent.

The system said, 【…Looks like the “handsome men” strategy isn’t working so well?】

Wen Nuan: “…..”

She didn’t need to be reminded, she saw it.

The system suggested, 【Why don’t you try the “beautiful women” strategy?】

Wen Nuan’s eyes lit up, and she re-added You Jiayi.

You Jiayi looked at the friend request and didn’t want to accept it, afraid that she would send her a bunch of random pictures again.

But if she didn’t add her, she would feel uncomfortable. She had only deleted her in the heat of the moment, and now she thought it was a bit childish and couldn’t bear to.

You Jiayi clicked accept and immediately sent a WeChat message to her.

—You Jiayi: What exactly do you want? I don’t like those guys, and I don’t like those girls either.

—Wen Nuan: #image#

You Jiayi stopped, looking at the picture Xu Wen Nuan sent, it was her selfie.

She was wearing a V-neck white T-shirt, revealing her well-shaped collarbones. She wasn’t wearing any makeup, and her delicate features seemed to emit a faint fluorescent glow under the light.

Her fair skin was almost transparent, and those clear peach blossom eyes were full of affection.

You Jiayi inexplicably clicked save.

Wen Nuan looked at the fact that there was no longer a red exclamation mark, and a deathly silence surrounded her.

The system comforted her, 【Don’t you think this is a good sign? She didn’t delete you!】

Wen Nuan: “….”
