The Malevolent Female Villain Turns Out to Be Me-Chapter 138: Birthday

Ye Jinmeng had been staying in this forest castle for almost a week, but she hadn't seen a glimpse of her phone during this week, nor had she even touched the castle gate.

Whenever Ye Jinmeng came within two meters of the gate, Ye Junwen would immediately pull her back, and even to prevent her from escaping, the gate would be locked at night...

So every day, besides eating, sleeping, and watching TV, Ye Jinmeng would secretly check every corner of the castle, but there seemed to be no place for her to escape unnoticed, except perhaps the windows.

All the windows on the first floor had security grilles, which Ye Jinmeng didn't have the strength to break through. Her room was on the second floor, but it was much higher than a normal house. If she jumped down, she would become disabled.

However, Zhen Kechuan had stolen quite a lot of brand-new clothes from outside and brought them back for her. If she tied the clothes into a rope, she could try escaping that way. 𝗳r𝚎𝐞w𝐞𝚋𝗻𝗼vel.𝗰o𝐦

The only problem was that during the day, Zhen Kechuan often watched the surveillance monitors. Even if he was doing something else, he would check the surveillance footage every few minutes.

At night, there were also restrictions, because Ye Junwen's room was right below hers. If she tried to climb down the rope from here, she would definitely disturb Ye Junwen.

Ye Jinmeng lay in bed, curled up under the blanket, feeling anxious. If she couldn't escape, she might miss her school's makeup exams again...

She sighed in distress.

No, she had to find a way to lure her little uncle out of his room at night.

With that thought in mind, in order not to arouse suspicion, Ye Jinmeng forced herself to get up despite her sleepiness and went downstairs for breakfast.

Luckily, perhaps because Ye Jinmeng had been so obedient these days, Ye Junwen didn't dwell on how she addressed him, which relieved Ye Jinmeng.

"Good morning, little uncle. Good morning, Uncle Zhen." Ye Jinmeng greeted Ye Junwen and Zhen Kechuan with a yawn.

Seeing Ye Jinmeng's haggard face and the obvious dark circles under her eyes, Ye Junwen couldn't help but ask with concern, "Meng-meng, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Before he had finished speaking, Ye Jinmeng's eyes reddened, and she started to sob:

"Little uncle, I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed that we were being chased by a lot of big wolf dogs, and then I fell, and one of the big wolf dogs opened its bloody mouth to bite me."

"Wah wah wah... It was so scary, I woke up right away, and I didn't dare sleep after that."

These days, Ye Jinmeng's acting skills had become increasingly polished, and she could spin lies without hesitation, making them sound just like the truth.

Ye Junwen stroked her head sympathetically and said with concern, "Don't be afraid, dreams aren't real. There won't be any wolf dogs chasing you."

Ye Jinmeng sniffled, "Little uncle, will we really be safe here? Won't we be discovered by others? I'm so scared."

Ye Junwen replied, "No, you have to trust Uncle Zhen's abilities. We haven't been discovered for so many years, and we won't be discovered in the future either. Don't worry."

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhen Kechuan.

Zhen Kechuan, who was eating a sandwich, responded with a wordless "Mmm" without any expression.

Ye Jinmeng pretended to feel relieved, "Mmm, then I'm not worried anymore."

"Good girl. After you finish your breakfast, go back and get some more sleep."

"Okay."

After finishing her breakfast, Ye Jinmeng did return to her room to rest, because she was so tired that her brain wasn't functioning properly. Only after getting enough sleep and clearing her mind would she be able to come up with a good plan.

Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Ye Junwen didn't call her for lunch, and Ye Jinmeng slept all the way until the evening.

Ye Jinmeng's stomach was growling from hunger, so she immediately got out of bed, washed up, and went downstairs to find food.

In the dining room, there was a lot of delicious food laid out on the table, and in the middle was a large, two-layered cake with the words "Happy 19th birthday, Meng-meng" written on it.

It was only then that Ye Jinmeng realized that today was February 28th, her birthday.

She felt a pang of bitterness, never expecting to spend her birthday in such circumstances, and wondered how her parents were doing.

"Meng-meng, you're awake. You must be starving. There's also a soup, and we'll be ready to eat soon!" said Ye Junwen as he and Zhen Kechuan were busy in the kitchen. Seeing Ye Jinmeng come downstairs, his face was full of smiles.

Ye Jinmeng looked delighted, "Little uncle, is this... a birthday surprise for me?"

"I'm so touched. I even forgot it was my birthday today. Little uncle, you're so good to me!"

Ye Junwen brought out the last dish, a lotus root and spare rib soup, from the kitchen and placed it on the dining table, in a cheerful mood. "I'll never forget your birthday. From now on, I'll be with you for every birthday!"

As he spoke, he took a velvet box out of his pocket and handed it to Ye Jinmeng.

"This is my birthday gift for you. Do you want to open it and take a look?"

Seeing Ye Junwen's affectionate gaze and the large "D" logo on the velvet box, Ye Jinmeng's heart skipped a beat.

She, of course, knew this brand - a man could only have one custom-made for one woman in his life. Ye Junwen giving her this made his intentions clear, without needing to say anything more.

In fact, during these past few days, she had already noticed that her little uncle's affection for her had surpassed the boundaries of an uncle-niece relationship. However, she had been pretending not to notice, which didn't really matter much.

But now it seemed that her little uncle wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to tear off the veil of innocence, which was like the end of the world for Ye Jinmeng!

Suppressing her unease, Ye Jinmeng pretended to be very excited as she took the box and examined it from all sides.

"Thank you, little uncle. Well, I'll open it now."

Opening the lid, inside was a heart-shaped pink diamond necklace, surrounded by a circle of small diamonds that sparkled brilliantly. It looked very pretty.

If this had been a gift from Shi Shuning, Ye Jinmeng would have loved it and given Shi Shuning a few big kisses.

But since it was from Ye Junwen, aside from unease, Ye Jinmeng felt only disgust...

That her little uncle had fallen in love with his own niece, even though they weren't related by blood, was still something she found hard to accept!

"Let me put it on for you," said Ye Junwen, about to take the necklace from Ye Jinmeng's hands.

But Ye Jinmeng dodged him and whined, "Little uncle, your hands are oily. You can't get this necklace dirty.

Hmph, I'll wear it after I take a bath tonight. This necklace is a gift from my little uncle to me, and I won't allow it to be tainted in any way."

As she spoke, she closed the lid, clutching the box to her chest as if it were very precious.

Ye Junwen reached out and pinched her face affectionately. "Okay, okay, whatever you like is fine with me."

Zhen Kechuan really couldn't stand watching the two of them being so lovey-dovey, and he coughed lightly: "Alright, let's eat!"

Ye Jinmeng breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully avoiding a disaster.

However, it seemed that she had thought of a way to escape, although it might be a little risky. Nevertheless, she was confident that she wouldn't get hurt.
