After Transmigrating into a Novel with My Boyfriend, He Turned Out to Be a Native Villain-Chapter 240: Strategy Mission

Wan Wanwan gripped her phone tightly, forcing down the strange emotions rising in her heart.

“You and him… aren’t you together?”

Her gaze dimmed slightly. “Last time I saw you two eating together. Bo Jingmo never dines alone with girls. And during the team-building event, he helped you too.”

“Oh? So that’s how you came to that conclusion.”

Yu Li nodded in full agreement. “Then I guess there’s no point denying it. We’re together.”

“……” That was such a half-hearted confirmation.

Wan Wanwan frowned and cut straight to the point. “You can’t be with Bo Jingmo.”

Whether it was family background or personality, she didn’t fit the criteria her aunt had listed.

Yu Li raised an intrigued eyebrow. “Why not?”

That was unexpected.

If Wan Wanwan really liked Bo Jingmo, she should be angry and jealous.

But her first reaction was just a disapproving frown.

Interesting.

It reminded Yu Li of the first time she met Wan Wanwan. Even though Wan Wanwan had clearly disliked her and wanted her to stay away from Bo Jingmo, she still paid for her meal.

Then, Wan Wanwan finally gave her reason.

“Because you two are from completely different worlds. Do you even know who Bo Jingmo really is?”

Yu Li blinked. “You mean he’s rich and I’m not?”

“…Yeah. That’s basically it.”

Wan Wanwan’s tone was heavy. “If you insist on staying with him, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

Warn me?

Was she about to get one of those cheesy drama scenes where someone throws a check at her?

Yu Li looked amused. “Well, now I’m curious what the consequences would be.”

Seeing that she wasn’t getting through, Wan Wanwan gave up trying to persuade her.

She wasn’t planning to cover for Yu Li either. Now that she knew, she would report it to her aunt.

She turned to leave, but had only taken a few steps before a voice called out behind her.

“Wait. I have a question for you too.”

For me?

Wan Wanwan turned around, puzzled. “About what?”

“Do you like Bo Jingmo?”

Yu Li asked with a smile. “I’m not trying to brag or anything. I’m just curious, because you really don’t seem like you do.”

Wan Wanwan was stunned.

Like?

She couldn’t deny that she had liked Bo Jingmo when she was younger. After all, with his looks and aura, who wouldn’t have a crush on a guy like that back in school?

But as time went on, Wan Wanwan wasn’t some masochist. That tiny bit of affection had long since been smothered by Bo Jingmo’s indifference.

Yet chasing after Bo Jingmo had somehow become a habit.

Her aunt had told her to keep an eye on him. At this point, even Wan Wanwan wasn’t sure what her feelings for Bo Jingmo were anymore.

Was it resentment?

—They’d known each other for years, yet he’d always stayed lukewarm. So why did Yu Li win him over so easily the moment she appeared?

Or was it obsession?

—She didn’t like anyone else, and Bo Jingmo didn’t either. So why couldn’t he just pick her? After all this time, shouldn’t he feel something?

Or maybe… maybe it was pity?

Bo Jingmo might never know that most people around him were deliberately placed there. Even herself—she was only there because of her aunt’s instructions.

Wan Wanwan didn’t know what her aunt’s true goal was, but she never forgot what she once said:

“Try to earn Bo Jingmo’s affection. He’s cold, but if he doesn’t reject you, there’s a chance. Stay close to him, let him get used to you. Bo Jingmo’s sensitive and love-starved right now. If you can reach his heart, he’ll never be able to leave you.”

“But remember—don’t let unfamiliar girls near him. Especially the kind you can’t control.”

It was like a strategy mission.

Wan Wanwan’s task was to make Bo Jingmo fall for her.

But this wasn’t a novel. Bo Jingmo wasn’t some villain who would destroy the world.

Yet even his feelings had to be managed.

So in the beginning, Wan Wanwan was just curious about him. Later, that turned into a faint, almost imperceptible sense of pity.

Yes—pity.

A young master from a top-tier elite family should be living recklessly and boldly like anyone else in his position.

But in reality, his identity had been deliberately buried. Even his emotions were being arranged by others. Every move he made was under surveillance.

“I… might not like Bo Jingmo that much.”

Wan Wanwan finally voiced her true feelings. Her gaze dropped, and her voice was slightly hoarse.

“But whatever I feel is definitely deeper than yours. I’ve been around him for so long. You’ve known him for what—days? What do you even like about him? That face?”

Yu Li burst out laughing. “His face? Yeah, I was totally interested because of his face.”

Otherwise, back at the psychiatric hospital, she wouldn’t have even looked at him.

Wan Wanwan tugged the corner of her lips.

See? I knew it.

She spoke in a vague tone, “But that kind of shallow love is exactly what Bo Jingmo hates most.”

But Yu Li just snorted and cut her off. “Shallow love? Wan Wanwan, how can you be so sure? Maybe Bo Jingmo is actually grateful he’s got a face I find worth liking.”

Wan Wanwan blinked, startled, and looked up.

Their eyes locked instantly.

That woman’s gorgeous fox-like eyes seemed to hold a sky full of stars, like a bottomless vortex pulling in your very soul.

“And you—clearly you don’t like Bo Jingmo that much, yet you’ve stuck around him playing the loyal follower. Let’s not talk about whether you’re tired of that. But have you ever thought if that’s fair to Bo Jingmo?”

Just then, Yu Li received a message from Mu Chengsi.

She had seen Yu Li walking with Wan Wanwan after class and messaged to ask what was going on.

Yu Li originally thought it was nothing. But then came the surprise:

[Mu Chengsi: Holy sh*t, I forgot to tell you—Wan Wanwan is related to Yu Jiao! She came looking for Yu Jiao before. I almost ran into her that time. She called Yu Jiao “Aunt.”]

Aunt?

Another one from deva?

Reading the message, Yu Li’s eyes turned cold in an instant.

And with Wan Wanwan’s earlier remarks, a suspicion formed in Yu Li’s mind.

Everything this girl had done was probably under orders.

Good one, deva. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

You even went so far as to assign someone to seduce Bo Jingmo?

So investigating him in the instance wasn’t enough—now you’re trying to mess with his emotions too?

What was this? Trying to find his weakness? Thinking it’d help you control him better?

Yu Li’s eyes grew colder, and her lips curled slightly.

“Heh…”

So that’s how you want to play it.

Then let’s see—does Bo Jingmo even have a weakness to exploit?
