After Ye Bai was thrown out, Lin Tai also left the Lu Family under Lu Ziyan's resentful gaze.
Back home, Lin Tai felt physically and mentally exhausted. Lu Ziyan's plot once again took an unexpected turn.
The plot was breaking down again.
Lin Tai really couldn't understand what was wrong with Lu Ziyan. Everything had been fine, but now Lu Ziyan was completely different from before.
And this seven-day boyfriend nonsense?
Wasn't that ridiculous? The heroine of a feel-good novel asking a male side character to be a fake boyfriend felt bizarre and out of place.
"Lin Tai, come here." Just as Lin Tai entered, Lin Zhentian called him over.
"Dad, what's up?" Lin Tai sat on the sofa. Hecate brought him a cup of tea. Lin Tai was surprised to see Hecate had changed back into her usual outfit.
So she really only wore the maid outfit for him alone?
"I've got good news. Ziyu will be back at the latest the day after tomorrow. The family will hold a welcome party. As the brother, you better prepare well."
Lin Zhentian was happiest that his daughter returned early. He wanted his children nearby.
"Dad, do you think this news is good for me?" Lin Tai rolled his eyes but inside panicked.
Damn it, even Lin Ziyu was acting strangely now!
He recalled Lin Ziyu was supposed to return next year to take over Lin Corporation.
There was a welcoming banquet plot.
Now that Lin Ziyu was back early, did that plot still need to be played?
Lin Tai was speechless. Every move by the heroines represented a major change in The Emperor's Return.
With heroines increasingly off-script, he was seriously troubled.
"Why wouldn't it be good? Ziyu is your sister. Can't you get along? She even sent you a gift three days ago." Lin Zhentian couldn't understand why his son and daughter never got along.
He remembered Lin Ziyu had cared for Lin Tai when they were young.
Though Lin Tai didn't show it, he always protected his sister and took blame for her mistakes.
But as they grew, their relationship became distant.
Three years ago, Lin Ziyu suddenly told him she wanted to study abroad to improve her management skills.
Lin Zhentian agreed to give Lin Corporation to Lin Ziyu.
Once she left, she cut off ties with Lin Tai.
Lin Zhentian worried constantly about their estrangement.
"It's because Lin Ziyu gave me a gift that I'm more worried. A weasel blessing a chicken—what good could it mean?" Lin Tai went upstairs, baffled by the strange changes in Lin Ziyu's plot.
But whatever—he was just a villainous male side character; he only had to finish his part.
Plot changes were the heavenly way's headache, not his problem.
In his room, Ye Bai logged into his QQ.
He had no real-life friends there; only on QQ could Lin Tai be himself without fear of exposure.
A familiar QQ message appeared.
The avatar was a cute dark little loli—delicate yet full of charm. The contact called herself Cecia.
Lin Tai had added her years ago but forgot how.
From the chat logs, she really seemed like a little girl with a slightly extreme, childish, and somewhat yandere personality.
Her points often gave Lin Tai chills.
Though possibly young, she was quite cunning.
Out of kindness, Lin Tai tried to counsel her.
Surprisingly, he almost became dark himself.
Luckily, his willpower was strong.
They gradually became good friends and chatted freely online.
[Dear Lin, we might meet soon.]
In the Middle East wilderness, Cecia's fingers flew over the keyboard. Numerous video monitors tracked the battlefield; only one screen sent QQ messages.
[Why aren't you assassinating billionaires in the Middle East now?] Lin Tai was helpless seeing this.
The girl claimed to be an assassin in the Middle East but sounded delusional.
[Our boss is recalling us. You'll meet me soon.] Cecia didn't expect to see him again if not for rebirth.
"Cecia, the assassination target is down but the process had issues. Redefine the route." Cecia was interrupted by Scylla's voice in her ear.
[Dear Lin, in at most five days I'll be back in Summer Kingdom. Can you meet me? I have to log off first.]
"In front of you is a path. Turn right at the path; three sentries are there. Bypass them…" Cecia quickly entered tactical mode, scanning screens to find escape routes for her team.
