'No friends?'
'There probably isn't anyone as foolish as the Male Supporting Role!'
'Eagerly volunteering to be the fall guy and wear the green hat just to give the girl he loves and the child in her belly a name, saving her from becoming a laughingstock.'
'After marriage, the Female Lead wouldn't let him touch her, so he slept on the floor, wholeheartedly taking care of the Male Lead's son.'
'When emotionally blackmailed by the Female Lead, he obediently became her ghost designer and worked for the Xiao Family as free labor.'
'In the end, he was even framed as an abusive cheater and subjected to online harassment…'
'Just how blind, stupid, and unlucky do you have to be to meet someone like that?'
Mingting's slender fingers slowly traced the handle of his coffee cup.
"Heh, I'm the only one who can help you? That just shows how terrible your social circle is."
"Shi Yunyun, last year you begged me the same way to help you cheat. You took my work to enter a competition and promised to give me the prize money. But even now, I haven't seen a single yuan of that 200,000…"
This petty, stingy version of Mingting completely shattered Shi Yunyun's understanding of him.
'In the past, for my birthday, he'd give me a watch worth far more than 200,000 yuan.'
'But now, he was quibbling over money with me?'
"200,000 isn't enough for you to go out and play. How can you be so calculative?"
Shi Yunyun looked at Mingting in disbelief.
"Calculative? This is clearly a matter of principle. If you're so generous, then transfer the prize money to me. It's what I rightfully earned."
Mingting took out his bank card and put it in front of Shi Yunyun.
"You're about to be a mother now. Prenatal education is very important, and you have to set an example for your baby. Come on, transfer the money!"
There were many customers in the coffee shop, and a handsome man like Mingting naturally drew attention.
Seeing that the other customers kept looking at them, Shi Yunyun felt a little flustered.
She was afraid that Mingting would make a big deal of it, so she quickly took out her phone to transfer the money.
With the 200,000 deposited into his account, Mingting pocketed the card, satisfied!
"The prize money has been transferred. I can stay at your place now, right?" Shi Yunyun said resentfully.
"If you still consider me a good friend, don't tell Xiao Yu I'm here."
"Ah… it's too late for that." Seeing the man pushing the door in, Mingting's eyes narrowed.
"You and Xiao Yu have been together for so many years, is there anything that can't be discussed properly? Why do you have to make such a fuss?"
"He must have his own difficulties! If you face the difficulties together, maybe you'll find a solution. If you love him, you should trust him!"
Mingting spouted these scumbag lines without a shred of guilt.
As soon as Xiao Yu arrived, he overheard Mingting defending him, and his expression immediately improved a lot.
"Xiao Yu, you came at the right time! I have been trying to talk sense into her for a while now. Shi Yunyun is all yours."
Mingting stood up and patted Xiao Yu on the shoulder.
"I believe what you said earlier was just anger talking. Go on, you should comfort her!"
Mingting didn't even look at Shi Yunyun's panicked face, and walked away directly.
"Mingting! I don't want to be with him… Mingting, save me!" Shi Yunyun wanted to grab Mingting's hand in panic, but was stopped by Xiao Yu.
"Yunyun, I was wrong. I must've lost my mind to say those things. I'm sorry!" Xiao Yu bowed his head and apologized with a very sincere attitude.
"Mingting is right. We should face problems together, not run from them. Please believe me..."
As Mingting stepped out of the coffee store, he saw Xiao Yu pull Shi Yunyun into an embrace.
Mingting doesn't know what Xiao Yu said, but Shi Yunyun just struggled symbolically, punched him twice, and finally buried her face in his arms.
'Tsk…'
'They are really a perfect match!'
Mingting inwardly scoffed at how little the original owner had been valued.
[Tsk tsk, a man's heart is as deep as the ocean! Xiao Yu really knows how to play the humble card to trick the Female Lead into coming back! As they say, 'A man who lacks ruthlessness can never establish dominance'.]
The system suddenly came out.
Mingting is no longer surprised by the bizarre commentary of this bastard system.
As soon as he entered his house, he received a call from Father Gu.
Father Gu ruthlessly scolded him for impulsively getting married without telling his parents first, calling it irresponsible and unfair to the girl.
But after scolding, Father Gu praised Mingting again.
He said his son had inherited his decisiveness, knowing to act fast when meeting the right girl. He also told Mingting to do well and not let Shen Tinglan down.
After listening to his father's teachings and taking a shower, Mingting pulled out the draft design for the ring and resumed the work he'd left unfinished during the day.
What he didn't know was that he was already gaining fame at this time.
Wu Ye, who had secretly photographed Mingting on the subway that morning, posted his photos and the short videos online, where they were liked and reposted by face-obsessed netizens.
Many people were amazed by the photos, and some called Mingting 'Immortal Brother'.
Within a day, the photos and videos spread, and many people began to pay attention to Mingting, and Wu Ye also obtained a minor boost in popularity.
"Sisters, check out this guy! He's literally an exceptionally refined and handsome man from the novels!"
"Really? Isn't it a staged photo? How much advertising fee did you receive to advertise for someone like this?"
"Ahhhh, does anyone know how to contact this guy? I'll pay big money for his WeChat!"
"Haha, it must be a newcomer who is about to debut and use this method to attract everyone's attention. This is just entertainment industry hype..."
"I want to know, which subway is this? I also want to meet the little brother by chance!!"
There are all kinds of comments, some good and some bad.
Wu Ye was delighted to see so many people praising the photos and Mingting for being so handsome and charming.
But once someone said that it was staged, and that the beauty filter must have been turned on, and that the real person was so ugly, Wu Ye immediately flew into a rage and started arguing one-on-one.
