Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

After parting with Chen Lanyi at the restaurant door, Li Cenyuan embarked on a journey northward alone. Every time he arrived in a city, he would stay for a few days.

After all, the purpose of traveling is to experience the customs and cultures of different places.

After visiting two cities with their own unique characteristics, the third Li Cenyuan went to the world-famous imperial capital.

Hearing that the imperial capital was the most prosperous city in Daxia, Li Cenyuan decided to stay longer and experience it more.

In just a few days, Li Cenyuan had a general understanding of the imperial capital. Compared with the two cities he had visited before, this place was indeed much more prosperous.

Moreover, he also discovered that the situation in the imperial capital was quite similar to that in Xuanzhou, with several major forces coexisting.

In every area of ​​politics, economy, culture, military force, etc., there are specialized organizations, each with its own responsibilities. They are like the backbone of this city, supporting the prosperity and majesty of the imperial capital. Among them, the most prominent and extensive one is the Ji family.

The Ji family's status in the imperial capital is comparable to the four great families in Xuanzhou. However, the four great families are of similar strength and restrain each other, while the Ji family is the leader in the imperial capital, and its influence has penetrated into every aspect of the city and is almost everywhere.

After Li Cenyuan had a brief understanding, he didn't pay any more attention to it. He came here to travel, not to explore.

On the fifth day in the imperial capital, Li Cenyuan visited a museum and planned to take a rest. He happened to see a coffee shop on the side of the road and walked in.

After placing the order, he looked around and found an empty seat to sit down.

Li Cenyuan had nothing to do while waiting for his coffee to be served, so he looked around the cafe.

This cafe is decorated very luxuriously, with crystal chandeliers casting soft light, exquisitely carved tables and chairs, and the art paintings on the walls are also very stylish, and you can tell at a glance that they are from the hands of masters.

Li Cenyuan secretly sighed, it was worthy of being the imperial capital, he had been here for a few days and had not seen anything that was not exquisite and luxurious. Even though he was born into a prominent family in Xuanzhou, he could not help but marvel at the wealth and luxury of the imperial capital.

After appreciating the environment inside the store, Li Cenyuan's gaze seemed to be drawn by an invisible thread and slowly fell on a woman at the front table.

The woman had her back to him and seemed to be working, her fingers tapping quickly on the keyboard, pausing from time to time to sigh.

Seeing this, Li Cenyuan thought: People in big cities are really hardworking. They are not idle even when they come out to drink coffee. They all bring their computers to work.

Just as he was thinking about it, the waiter brought the coffee. Li Cenyuan retracted his gaze, picked up the cup and took a sip.

In less than ten seconds, Li Cenyuan raised his eyes and looked forward again.

"Beauty, can I add your contact information?" A man with greasy hair and powdered face stood in front of the woman's desk at some point, with what he thought was a charming smile on his face and a frivolous tone.

The woman kept moving her hands, without looking up, and responded coldly: "Sorry, I don't have a phone."

It sounds like a lie. In today's world, who goes out without a cell phone?

The man refused to give up and continued to pester, "Don't be so heartless. It's just making friends and adding contact information. It won't be a big deal."

The woman finally stopped typing on the keyboard, raised her head, and said with cold eyes: "I'm in a bad mood now. Get out before I lose my temper."

The man seemed intimidated by the woman's aura. The smile on his face froze instantly. After hesitating for a moment, he left dejectedly and returned to his seat.

When Li Cenyuan saw this scene, he seemed to be tickled and laughed uncontrollably.

He swore that he laughed really quietly, but the woman still heard it.

She turned to look at Li Cenyuan, with a hint of anger in her eyes: "Is it funny?"

The attitude seemed to imply that if Li Cenyuan dared to say "yes", he would be in trouble.

Only then did Li Cenyuan see the woman's appearance clearly and immediately understood why she was being approached.

She was indeed out-of-this-worldly beautiful.

She had no makeup on, wore simple casual clothes, and her hair was casually tied into a bun, but it couldn't hide her natural beauty, delicate features, and outstanding temperament.

"It's not funny." Li Cenyuan immediately sat up straight, looking apologetic, "Sorry."

Seeing Li Cenyuan's sincere attitude, Lian Wen's anger subsided a lot and she turned back to continue marking her students' papers.

Speaking of which, she was quite unlucky today. The water pipe in her house burst early in the morning and flooded the floor. She hurriedly looked for someone to fix it, but the house was in a mess and she couldn't do anything. She could only take her computer with her when she went out.

As it turned out, this job was not an easy one. The students' papers were full of loopholes, which gave her a headache to revise them.

She was feeling annoyed, and then another blind guy came to disturb her. Who wouldn't be angry?

As soon as the annoying guy left, Lian Wen heard laughter behind him and almost burst out.

She turned around angrily, only to see a superior man with good looks and temperament. And looking at the slightly apologetic expression on his face, it didn't seem like he was laughing at her on purpose. Only then did her anger subside for the most part.

Lian Wen continued to work, facing the screen full of places that needed to be modified, and felt his temples throbbing.

Li Cenyuan was a little surprised that Lian Wen let him go so easily. He originally thought that he would be scolded. After all, from her attitude towards another man just now, he could tell that she was not someone who would give up easily.

But at this moment, he felt that he might have misunderstood her.

Perhaps out of curiosity, Li Cenyuan sat in the cafe until the sun was about to set. After finishing his cup of coffee, he had another one.

During this period, he witnessed Lian Wen being hit on several times, but he had learned from his previous lessons and just watched quietly without laughing out loud.

As soon as six o'clock arrived, Lian Wen closed her computer on time, packed up her things neatly, and prepared to go home.

She picked up her bag, turned around, and found that the person who had smiled at her was still there. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly.

But she didn't think much about it and walked out the door. As soon as she took a step, she saw a little girl shyly walk to Li Cenyuan's desk, hand him a note, and then run away with a red face.

Lian Wen couldn't help but pause and secretly rejoiced in his heart: What a good opportunity.

When passing by Li Cenyuan's desk, she deliberately laughed softly.

Although she didn't care about it at that time, it doesn't mean she doesn't mind at all.

She has always been the type of person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment and will take revenge. He laughs at her, so she laughs back at him. This is fair.

After successfully taking revenge, Lian Wen felt refreshed and in a good mood, and she even walked with the breeze.

At that time, Li Cenyuan was holding the note, feeling a little confused. Suddenly he heard laughter. He looked up and saw only Lian Wen's back.

It was not until Lian Wen reached out, pushed open the door of the cafe and walked out that Li Cenyuan realized what her laughter just now meant.

...He was wrong, he had no misunderstanding, she was just someone who would not suffer any loss.

Li Cenyuan shook his head helplessly, put the note in his pocket, stood up and left the cafe.

As soon as he went out, he found Lian Wen standing at the door.

Lian Wen didn't leave because she was thinking.

Thinking about whether to buy groceries and cook dinner at home or order takeout.

Her cooking skills are average and the food she makes is barely edible, but she is tired of the takeout from the neighborhood.

It's really a dilemma. It's troublesome to cook for herself, but if she orders takeout, she doesn't know what to order.

Li Cenyuan didn't leave either, standing about ten steps away from Lian Wen.

He was waiting for the car to go back to the hotel.

Lian Wen was so focused on the dinner issue that she didn't notice Li Cenyuan at all.

Two minutes later, the car Li Cenyuan called arrived. He reached out to open the door, and a familiar and impatient female voice came into his ears.

He paused and looked over subconsciously.

In front of the woman who refused to suffer any loss stood the man who first approached her in the coffee shop in the afternoon.

The man said flatteringly, "I really like you, please give me a chance to pursue you."

Lian Wen frowned and wanted to curse, but held back, "Sorry, I don't like you."

The man was very confident: "Just because you don't like it now doesn't mean you won't like it in the future. I will make you change your mind."

Lian Wen: “…” I really want to smash the computer on this guy’s head.

Of course, this is just a thought. After all, it’s not worth thinking about scrapping a computer because of an ugly man.

"I'm sorry, I don't like you, now and in the future. I hope you won't bother me anymore." In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lian Wen tried his best to maintain basic politeness, but one could still clearly hear the impatience in his tone.

"Do you know who I am?" Seeing that his soft approach didn't work, the man's face darkened and he began to use his identity to pressure the other person.

He had been waiting outside the coffee shop for a long time, just waiting for Lian Wen to come out.

The reason why Lian Wen persuaded him to back out so easily in the afternoon was because the location was wrong.

This cafe is owned by the Ji family. If you cause trouble inside, the consequences will be serious.

But now that he was outside the coffee shop, he didn't have so many concerns.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know." Lian Wen had a cold expression on her face. She didn't even look at the man, and her eyes were full of annoyance.
