Chapter 50: A Reversal of Attitude “You really want to be friends with me?” Lin Tai, having figured out Charlotte’s intentions, immediately began to play along. The only thing he couldn’t quite understand was why every time a heroine wanted to get the protagonist’s attention, they always came to him. Lu Ziyan was , and now Charlotte was too, treating him like a complete tool. Oh well, what could he do? He was the vicious male supporting character, after all—vicious supporting characters have no rights! “Yes, I’ve been waiting for you.” Charlotte swore that her heart would always belong to Lin Tai alone. “Thanks.” Wow, this little heroine’s gaze was something else. Lin Tai could feel the tender affection in Charlotte’s eyes—her acting was absolutely top-notch. The last person with such acting skills was probably Xia Shihan. At the banquet, her gentle gaze almost made Lin Tai think she genuinely had feelings for him. “Can you tell me your name?” Charlotte, following the lessons she’d learned from Chinese books, was taking it step by step to get closer to her beloved kidnapper. “Lin Tai.” Lin Tai rolled his eyes. Good grief, with that line, it was obvious Charlotte had been lying earlier. Falling in love at first sight without even knowing his name? Who was she trying to fool? But this reassured Lin Tai—it was clear Charlotte was indeed using him to get Ye Bai’s attention. Since that was the case, as the vicious male supporting character, Lin Tai had no choice but to cooperate. “Come, let’s have a drink at my booth.” Lin Tai lightly placed his hand around Charlotte’s slender waist, but he didn’t actually touch her—he wasn’t some pervert; he was just putting on a show for Ye Bai. “Okay.” Charlotte was thrilled. As expected, the books were right—Chinese men were very reserved. Although Lin Tai seemed to be holding her waist, he wasn’t actually touching her, which confirmed she was making the right move. Recalling what she’d learned from the books, while restraint was important, some intimacy was definitely necessary. Charlotte gently lifted her left hand and pressed Lin Tai’s hand onto her waist, making them appear even closer. At the booth, the group of rich second-generation heirs was so shocked they were speechless. Princess Charlotte had actually been won over by Lin Tai … This was too absurd! Just one line—“Hello, let’s get acquainted”—and it was done? Since when was flirting so easy, especially with a top-tier goddess like Charlotte? Their earlier mockery instantly turned into intense envy, jealousy, and hatred. What did Lin Tai have that was better than them? Sure, he was a bit more handsome, but not so handsome that he was shattering the heavens, right? If they had gone up, they’d surely have done better than Lin Tai! After all, Lin Tai was just a simp, the Imperial Capital’s loser. “Now what do you have to say?” Lei Ming raised an eyebrow. Though the turn of events was almost miraculous, he now firmly believed Lin Tai was truly awesome. Back in the detention room, he never could’ve imagined that four goddesses would show up to bail Lin Tai out. Seeing the shocked expressions on these guys’ faces felt incredibly satisfying. “You don’t understand what ‘flirting’ means, do you? This is just making a friend—does that count as flirting?” Yan Jun couldn’t believe it. To think that today, it was Charlotte who actively went after Lin Tai. Where was Princess Charlotte’s restraint? Her noble feminine charm? He remembered Steven specifically warning him that Princess Charlotte was an extremely reserved woman and that no offense could be tolerated. This was reserved? They’d barely exchanged a few words, and they were already holding waists! This was reserved? Yan Jun felt that Steven must have some misunderstanding of the word “reserved.” No, he had to tell Steven about this. Yan Jun sent the video directly to Steven. In a dark corner, Zhao Gang watched the scene from afar, feeling utterly unsettled. As Ye Bai’s loyal subordinate, he knew his boss’s intentions well. Princess Charlotte was the woman Ye Bai wanted to win over, yet here she was, intimately holding waists with another man. Zhao Gang’s expression was dark and unreadable. He wasn’t sure if he should report this to Ye Bai. But then he thought, his purpose today wasn’t about Charlotte, so there was no need to go out of his way. Surely Ye Bai had already arranged people to keep an eye on Charlotte. Amid the shocked gazes of the crowd, Lin Tai led Charlotte to sit at the booth. Charlotte’s presence made the rich young masters feel a bit restrained. Not only was she a stunning beauty, but she was also a British royal princess, with power and influence beyond measure. Still, they weren’t willing to just leave. If flirting with Princess Charlotte was this easy, maybe they could try too. Yan Jun was one of the most eager among them. The liquor stains on his face had dried, and he planned to try again using Lin Tai’s approach. With that thought, Yan Jun stood up, approached Charlotte, and reached out to pat her shoulder. “Hello, let’s get acquainted.” But before his hand could touch her delicate shoulder, Charlotte spoke. “If you don’t want your arm broken, get lost.” Charlotte’s red lips parted slightly, her gaze fixed on Yan Jun’s arm. As a royal princess, Charlotte had been raised with strict discipline by the queen since childhood, making her extremely reserved. Except for Lin Tai, no man could approach her in any way—unless he wanted to die. Having been a queen for over a decade in her previous life, Charlotte’s aura was no less imposing than the current queen’s! “…” Yan Jun’s breath hitched. The moment Charlotte looked up, he genuinely felt her overwhelming presence and killing intent. Wait, what? Hadn’t Lin Tai approached her the same way? What had he done wrong? The rich second-generation heirs behind Yan Jun were equally stunned. They had all been eager to try, but Yan Jun had beaten them to it, and they’d been a bit jealous. Yet that jealousy lasted only a few seconds before Charlotte seemed to transform into a different person. With Lin Tai, one sentence made her warm and enthusiastic; with Yan Jun, one sentence made her tell him to get lost or die? “Princess Charlotte, I’m a friend of Baron Ye Bai,” Yan Jun said, unwilling to give up. He brought up Ye Bai’s name, thinking that if she hadn’t given him face earlier due to a bad mood, she surely wouldn’t disrespect Ye Bai now. “Don’t mention that disgusting name Ye Bai in front of me.” From the moment Ye Bai killed her kidnapper, Charlotte wanted nothing more than to tear him apart. In her previous life, after returning to Britain, she had swiftly eradicated Ye Bai’s businesses in Britain and Europe and even had his baron title revoked.
