Leap Forward Comics: Watch How I Become a Villainess

Chapter 226 Going deeper

After Lin Zhao left.

Lu He and Xia Lan took a shower together, wrapped themselves in blankets, and curled up on the sofa.

Lu He's hair wasn't completely dry; the ends were still a little damp.

Xia Lan reached out and brushed away the water stains, gently tucking a strand of hair from Lu He's bangs behind her ear: "Why didn't you dry it?"

“…I like being wet…” Lu He bit her lip, her face slightly flushed.

"Alright, alright," Xia Lan exhaled a puff of hot air from her nose. "This little devil is at it again!"

With a "smack," a large towel was thrown at Lu He's face.

"Ouch~" Lu He groaned, "Baby, you're so rough~"

Without saying a word, Xia Lan started rubbing Lu He's hair with a towel: "Don't move around, let me dry it for you! You'll catch a cold!"

Lu He sat quietly on the sofa, obediently letting her dry her hair.

"Why are you being so well-behaved today? You're not saying any of those inappropriate things?" Seeing her so quiet, Xia Lan broke the silence.

"Hmm~ I'm waiting patiently for you to dry me off..." Lu He's lips curled into a sly smile: "All of it..." As she spoke, she reached out and hugged Xia Lan's waist, her fingers wandering up her back.

Xia Lan was both shocked and ashamed: "You bastard!"

The sun rose just as the next day was rising. Lu He tiptoed out of bed, glanced at Xia Lan who was still fast asleep beside her, and gave her a doting smile.

Silly boy, you get some rest~ I'll be back~

She got up, her body marked with mottled red spots, and stepped into the sunlight.

The living room was indeed a complete mess. Lu He covered her mouth with her fingertips, her eyes full of sweet smiles.

Zheng Ming had been waiting at the entrance of the residential area for half an hour.

Lu He slowly came down.

"Han Xi, how can you be so unpunctual!" A barrage of complaints followed immediately: "You have no principles in doing things..."

The sound stopped abruptly the moment Zheng Ming saw Lu He clearly. He turned his face away in embarrassment, his neck turning slightly red.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Lu He asked, yawning.

“You, you…” Zheng Ming pointed to the collar of her trench coat.

Lu He then noticed that her collar wasn't turned up, and Zheng Ming had seen the masterpiece that had been done to her neck all night.

Lu He calmly straightened her collar: "How can you be so innocent?"

Hearing the mockery in the other person's tone, Zheng Ming was displeased: "I just didn't want to see you showing off your love, okay? So what if you have a partner?"

"Yeah, having a partner is amazing, you single dog don't understand~" Lu He deliberately dragged out the last syllable to annoy him.

As expected, Zheng Ming was so angry he jumped up and down; teasing children is really amusing.

Lin Zhao and Zheng Ming are both interesting people. I'll introduce them to each other tomorrow and do Lin Zhao a favor, since I might need her help in the future. After all, she's the second main character and has some advantages.

Lu He was secretly plotting something.

Zheng Ming had no idea that at this very moment, Lu He was already planning to give him away as a favor.

“I’ve already found out. Dad took Zhang Xiuru to the golf course today and won’t be back for a while.”

"Is no one home right now? Don't you have servants or something? And how am I supposed to get into your house? Wouldn't I be too conspicuous as an outsider?"

As Zheng Ming spoke, he looked eager to try, his face full of excitement. What a naive fool who had never seen the world.

"The servants can just stay away. It's my own home, how can they restrict my freedom?" Lu He curled her lips in disdain and looked at Zheng Ming with annoyance.

"If I personally lead you in, what can't you do?" Lu He thought to himself, thinking that this person's brain was so stupid that even pigs wouldn't eat it.

As you walk through the luxurious iron gates of the upscale neighborhood, servants are already there to open the door and greet you.

Lu He grabbed Zheng Ming's arm and whispered, "Relax, don't say anything."

The pathetic Zheng Ming was stiff all over, being dragged along by Lu He like a wooden doll.

"Miss Han is back!" the maid greeted her with a bow.

Lu He nodded in response.

“Miss Han, who is this…?” the butler asked as he stepped forward.

"My boyfriend, don't let my dad know," Lu He lied calmly. "In a little while, we'll be going to the screening room on the first floor. No one is allowed to come into the entire left corridor area on the first floor, understand?"

Zheng Ming, standing next to him, was drenched in sweat, smiling mechanically, his face stiff.

The butler bowed and stepped back to give instructions to the servants on the first floor.

"Your mental fortitude is truly impressive." Zheng Ming breathed a sigh of relief once everyone had walked away.

"Come on, you're just too useless."

"But how did I become your boyfriend? Don't I have any other identity? Won't your dad kill me when he comes back? What about your reputation...?"

"Shut up!" Lu He was getting annoyed by his constant chatter, so she reached out and grabbed his mouth, manually muting his microphone.

"Stop worrying about things that aren't your business. You'll have to worry about things once we get to the secret room!"

Zhang Xiuru's room was at the end of the corridor on the left side of the first floor, while the home theater was at the beginning of the corridor on the left side.

This is an excellent dividing line, providing the best reason to prevent others from getting close.

"They won't suddenly come back, will they?" Zheng Ming's legs were trembling slightly; this was the first time he had ever done something like breaking and entering to steal information.

“No, they were playing golf with some financial tycoons this afternoon. You wouldn’t understand even if I told you this…” Lu He originally wanted to explain, but looking at Zheng Ming’s bewildered eyes, she knew he couldn’t comprehend the lives of the rich.

“However, Zhang Dian’s whereabouts are currently unclear, and I’m afraid we might run into him in the secret room…” This is what Lu He is worried about.

"Oh right, I was in such a rush when we met today, I didn't have a chance to tell you..." Zheng Ming suddenly remembered: "I was planning to tell you as soon as we met..."

"Get to the point!" Lu He had absolutely no patience for him.

"Zhang Dian is being watched by my colleague today. He'll notify me of any unusual activity." As she spoke, she raised her phone and waved it, trying to show off her role.

"Okay, let's go. Let's go to the screening room first, and have the servants watch us go in and not get any closer. Then we'll sneak into the room inside..."
