Ah! The Villains I Forced to Turn Evil Can Read My Mind

After confirming that Qiao Chuchu was highly likely to die tonight, everyone silently looked at her.

Qiao Chuchu seemed like a harmless, gentle-natured girl, the type who would feel wronged and cry just from accidentally bumping into something.

But beneath this seemingly fragile exterior lay an extremely resilient soul.

Lin Shen furrowed his brows tightly.

Life was so long, with countless unexpected events that could occur. If Qiao Chuchu wanted to live well, she had to conserve her resurrection chances as much as possible.

"Let me protect her today," Lin Shen typed. "I won't let her fall into danger."

Pei Fengnong shot him an annoyed glance: "Get lost."

Lin Shen: "?"

Pei Fengnong rubbed his neck, stood up from the sofa, and spoke lazily, "Pei Buxian, you're done with your task of keeping an eye on Qiao Chuchu, right?"

Pei Buxian nodded.

Pei Fengnong glanced sideways at Qiao Chuchu: "Then hand her over to me."

Qiao Chuchu was stunned as Pei Fengnong roughly grabbed her arm and pulled her off the sofa, causing her to stumble into his embrace!

Qiao Chuchu reflexively tried to throw Pei Fengnong over her shoulder!

But Pei Fengnong counterattacked by gripping her wrist!

Her resistance was futile!

Anxiously, she looked up and met Pei Fengnong's disdainful, carefree gaze.

He towered over her, holding both her wrists, as if admiring a toy, and let out a malicious chuckle.

"Try again?"

Qiao Chuchu felt humiliated and attempted to counterattack.

His strength was fierce, gripping her bones, strong and domineering.

Qiao Chuchu couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

Lin Shen stood up: "Pei Fengnong, you're hurting her!"

Pei Fengnong gave Lin Shen an annoyed glance: "She's my sister. Mind your own business."

Lin Shen's face darkened as he grabbed Qiao Chuchu's wrist: "It is my business!"

The atmosphere in the room froze!

Qiao Chuchu was caught between Pei Fengnong in front and Lin Shen behind her.

Qiao Chuchu, stuck in the middle, was utterly confused.

【Am I experiencing the legendary scenario of two men fighting over one woman? But honestly, watching it from the outside is amusing, but being in the middle of it is really annoying.】

Lin Shen and Pei Fengnong both subtly frowned but didn't let go of their grip.

Lin Qingle, on the sidelines, was enjoying the show: "Two handsome guys fighting over a beautiful woman—who needs TV when you have drama happening right here!~"

Pei Buxian wasn't pleased: "Pei Fengnong, get Qiao Chuchu back. You can't be such a weakling that you can't even outmatch Lin Shen, the bookworm!"

Lin Shen narrowed his eyes and tried to pull Qiao Chuchu into his embrace!

Qiao Chuchu: "!"

Pei Fengnong sneered and yanked Qiao Chuchu back!

Her arms were stretched taut, causing her to wince in pain: "Let me go, both of you. If you really can't bear to, just chop me in half and take me home to cremate."

Lin Shen was taken aback and quickly let go: "Did I hurt you?"

But before Qiao Chuchu could answer, Pei Fengnong simply hoisted her onto his shoulder and walked away!

Lin Shen was shocked: "Pei Fengnong!"

Pei Fengnong didn't look back: "If you're a man, drive and catch up."

Lin Shen was furious and turned to Pei Yuan: "How can you let your sister be in such danger?!"

Pei Yuan stood up, calm and composed: "This is our rule. Whenever someone is in trouble, they must have Qiao Chuchu by their side, whether they take her with them or follow her. If it were your turn, we wouldn't stop you from taking Chu Chu either."

Lin Shen was anxious: "But what if Qiao Chuchu dies? Can't we be more cautious, even if she has seven chances left?"

Pei Yuan remained composed: "We won't let her die. After all, it's not just Pei Fengnong who will be with Qiao Chuchu."

Lin Shen: "?"

Pei Yuan explained, "We'll also be on the scene, but not yet. Go back to work for now. Tonight, when Pei Fengnong starts his race, we'll all be there."

Lin Shen: "…And now?"

"Give the siblings some alone time," Pei Yuan said, hands in his pockets. "You wouldn't want to intrude, would you?"

Lin Shen frowned, clearly resistant: "I don't think Pei Fengnong is treating Qiao Chuchu well."

Pei Yuan chuckled coldly: "If your sister kept trying to flirt with you every time she saw you, you wouldn't be too friendly either."

Lin Shen's expression darkened: "So, I should just stand by and watch Pei Fengnong bully Qiao Chuchu?"

Pei Yuan: "You could close your eyes."

Lin Shen: "?"

Pei Yuan patted his shoulder, speaking with a tone of wisdom: "Lin Shen, I understand you want to mend your broken relationship with Qiao Chuchu, but her liking you is in the past. You didn't cherish that chance back then, so this opportunity is gone. I advise you to let go of that thought."

Pei Yuan smiled warmly, his eyes cold: "After all, you're too old for my sister."

Lin Shen raised an eyebrow, not angry: "In your eyes, no one is good enough for your sister."

Pei Yuan smiled like a fox: "You got it."

Lin Shen: "…"

-

Qiao Chuchu fiercely yanked her hand away from Pei Fengnong's grip: "Stop dragging me around, all of you! It's so annoying!"

Pei Fengnong stopped, towering over her.

His massive frame enveloped her.

She turned her head away, pretending not to notice his imposing presence.

【Even though they say they hate me, they all treat me like this, pulling and tugging, restricting my freedom, ordering me around like I'm not even a person. So patriarchal.】

Pei Fengnong picked up his phone and searched on the browser: What is "fatherly"?

The first search result: "1. Refers to someone having an old-fatherly vibe. 2. Someone who constantly wants to be 'dad' to others, always lecturing, overly masculine, self-centered, and a bit greasy."

Pei Fengnong fell silent, then set his phone down thoughtfully.

Qiao Chuchu walked past him toward the living room: "Since Pei Buxian works from home, let him keep an eye on me. No need for you to get involved."

【I'll go to Pei Fengnong's racing track tonight. I'm not staying with him now.】

Pei Fengnong let out a barely audible cold snort.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Did she think he wanted to be with her?

He said, "Tonight I have a friendly race. If you stay with me for a few hours and attend, I'll give you 50,000 in spending money. That club is members-only, so if you don't come with me now, you won't get in later."

Qiao Chuchu stopped mid-step and smoothly walked up to him, serious: "Money isn't important. What matters is that I want to watch your friendly race."

Pei Fengnong: "……"

Truth be told, the grudge between him and Qiao Chuchu was deep.

He had once been a legendary F1 racer, winning first place in seven international races, and had become famous for his good looks, attracting fans outside the racing community.

But a week before a race a year ago, he had driven to pick up a drunken Qiao Chuchu. On the way, she had gone crazy and tried to grab the steering wheel. Just as they were about to crash, he had protected Qiao Chuchu by turning the danger toward himself.

As a result, Qiao Chuchu had only suffered minor injuries, while his arm had been shattered, requiring surgery and causing him to miss the race.

Before his arm had fully recovered, he had felt like dying. Now, with his condition improving, he could only indulge in rally racing to satisfy his cravings.

All the hard work he had put in over the past year had been ruined by Qiao Chuchu.

The more Pei Fengnong thought about it, the tighter his brows furrowed.

In the past year, he had lost so much, endured so much physical and mental pain, all because of Qiao Chuchu.

He hated her to the core, yet he suddenly realized that Qiao Chuchu had been forced into her actions. She too had her own reasons.

Should he forgive her immediately upon learning the truth?
