I Heard That I'm An Affectionate Male Lead

Chapter 004

The modern era had seen the birth of many a novel, there'll naturally be protagonists who go against the grain, especially schemers who pretend to be pigs to eat tigers (T/N: Strong but pretend to be weak to gain an advantage). Female protagonists like Rong Dan were mostly referred to as Black Lotuses. A sub-class of the White Lotus, they look innocent and simple on the outside, but were actually shrewd and calculating on the inside.

After all, men or women, all are human beings. Some men think that having three wives and four concubines is natural. Naturally, there are also women who think that many husbands is justified. Therefore, alongside the countless stallion novels, are endless reverse harem novels.

Although Cang Yu didn't think he was enough to achieve hegemony, being thrust headfirst into a battle of wits and courage with the Black Lotus heroine, he couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness. He wondered, which time-traveling men weren't heroes? Which one wasn't a genuis? But with him, he can't even be a second male lead with a good reputation, this was punching too low.

This novel was divided into two volumes. The first half was about Rong Dan in the human world, and the second half is about Rong Dan awakening her half-demon blood and returning to her father's hometown, Qingqiu, under the persuasion of her mother.

The contractual marriage between Cang Yu and Rong Dan was also something requested by Rong Dan's cheap father, but didn't make it public per his request. In addition, Cang Yu fell in love with Rong Dan at first sight. If it was just another little fox, it might not be possible to have a good marriage.

Choking the heroine didn't delay anything. Cang Yu made full mental preparations the next day and took the initiative to go to Chun Ge to talk about reconciliation.

The Tianhu Clan didn't have many rules, but after all, it's opened up its spiritual wisdom and was slowly moving closer to humans. Marriage wasn't a joke, and you still need to talk with your clan leader.

As expected, Chun Ge didn't believe that both of them sincerely wished to divorce, so her words were very harsh: "Those little brats hasn't even grown her hair in. You can't see it but how can I not see it? You're obsessed with that stupid girl. Right now you're injured, if that stinky girl hadn't begged you, would you have said this to me? It was she who wanted to marry you in the first place, and there was no single fox forcing her. Now that you're injured, she feels lost. She wants to move on and find a new home so fast? She wants to be free but I won't agree. I know you like her, so don't say these words again!" By then, Cang Yu had lost his soul.

This is one of the reasons why the matriarch deserves to be the vicious female rival. As a friend, she should've been happy that Cang Yu and Rong Dan were getting separated, but when she thought that this would lead to the outcome that Rong Dan wanted, her brain quickly went offline and forcibly refused to see Cang Yu's reasons, insisting on putting this cuckold on his head.

What a fart! Go against your fate!

Although Cang Yu had expected it, he still almost lost his temper: "Do you think I really loved her when we got married?" In fact, Cang Yu never gave in to Chun Ge when it came to Rong Dan.

Sometimes with Chun Ge saying too much was counter effective. This time he won without a fight. Although he was proud, he was also a little uneasy. She couldn't help but hesitate a little: "No... weren't you?"

"You really didn't get beaten by that stinky girl's tears, and softened your heart?" Chun Ge said half-believingly, "But you weren't..."

In the book, Cang Yu's heart was indeed as sharp as a knife, but Rong Dan had personally said that she no longer wanted to hide under his protection. After being injured, He also saw that the other party had become depressed, so he decided to clear the way forward for her. Putting all the responsibilities on himself, he took the blame, and felt that Rong Dan was a strong and cute little fox.

Both a cuckold and a scapegoat. It shows that there's no reason for a fool in love.

Cang Yu wasn't that stupid. He didn't put the blame on himself. He had promised Rong Dan's father not to tell the story. Although it wasn't his promise, it wouldn't hurt to keep it. Then he replied calmly: "Rong Dan isn't very old, and she's a half-demon. As the leader of the clan, you look down on her alone out of everyone else in the clan. No matter whether she has a foreign clan's blood in her body, she's already returned to Qingqiu. We are all foxes of the same clan, so I naturally have to take care of her. Now that she's stayed in Qingqiu for some time, I think it's time."

"Really?" Chun Ge rolled her eyes and smiled, "Of course, it'd be better jf you didn't like her."

She looked disdainful and obviously didn't believe it. In fact, Cangyu himself felt that the statement was weak.

"I mean it sincerely," Cang Yu pretended to be tired and said slowly, "She's grown up, and I'm tired of taking care of the girl. Chun Ge, just promise me this once?"

Chun Ge looked like she still didn't believe it, but when she looked at the exhausted face of the Great Elder, she couldn't say a word. She knew that this matter was by no means that simple and was secretly suspicious in her heart. She wanted to say that it couldn't possibly have been caused by amnesia, but she couldn't say that: "Alright, but if you help Rong Dan again in the future, I won't allow it. It's just that your injury isn't healed yet, so she still has to take care of you."

Which fool would want to help, let her help herself!

As soon as he heard Chun Ge's promise, Cang Yu immediately danced a little swan dance in his heart. He was extremely happy, and his tired face looked almost radiant. What he wanted was Chun Ge word. The two foxes didn't agree with each other, but Chun Ge relented. He can set his character with peace of mind in the future, without worrying about being trapped in a marriage or resented by the heroine.

The sincere one never ends well, the heroine probably wouldn't even remember him. Cang Yu also didn't want to poke his head about for a position in the heroine's harem. He just wanted the heroine to have a deeper impression. After all, the status of ex-husband has now been firmly established. Although Cang Yu didn't know how reverse harem novels deal with these kinds of characters. In stallion novels, ex-girlfriends who won't get back together have tragic fates.

Taking revenge on the heroine was one thing, but establishing a character was another, and there's no conflict.

Cang Yu thought clearly, but he didn't expect that Chun Ge didn't believe even a word of it. Instead, she saw that he very happy and thought that he was happy for Rong Dan, feeling some sympathy and helplessness in her heart.

It's been hundreds of years since Chun Ge became a demon. She rarely left Qingqiu and whenever she was bored, she would read some stories about human love. As for true love, she had never experienced it once. She just assumed that everything written in the novels were true. Yes, true love is Cang Yu suffering from amnesia, but still not forgetting to take care of Rong Dan and please her, it made her feel a little sad for a moment. 　　

Thinking of this, Chun Ge hesitated again. When she saw Cang Yu standing up and leaving, she shouted, "Wait a moment!" Cang Yu just thought there was some unfinished business, so he turned around and asked her: "What?"

She sat motionless, her throat felt dry and hoarse at the moment. She pursed her lips and said hesitantly: "Cang Yu, maybe you've suffered from amnesia and don't remember. In fact, you like that smelly girl very much. I... although I hate her, and wish that you two could separate soon, have you really thought about it? Maybe one day, you'll become unhappy with today's decision."

Cang Yu didn't expect this, he was stunned speechless for a moment.

Seeing that he had a complicated expression but didn't reply, Chun Ge suddenly realized: Ah- this is what the storybook said. Even though I'm unhappy, as long as she's happy, I have nothing else to ask for.

The way she looked at Cang Yu became much gentler.
