My Wife is the Villainess - Chapter 1

On the New Year’s Eve, the small southern city actually had a rare flurry of snow, adding a lot of atmosphere to the growing festival. Happy New Year songs were played in shops open all night long in the distance. Everyone in the street were smiling, holding the New Year gifts they had received and laughing with each other. The air was still filled with the smell of barbecue.

Everything was so warm and perfect.

Apart from the tiredness of being dragged along by the beautiful woman ahead, this dream could be called the most suitable dream Su Chen could dream this year.

Not only that, but he also felt rather cold. Obviously, this slightly small suit wasn’t very warm. Could it be that he kicked the quilt while sleeping?  That made him sneeze in his dreams?

No, why would he run? This was his dream, the people on the street next to him looked so pleasant, was he going to have a bad dream?

“Don’t run, I can’t run anymore. “

Su Chen whispered in protest. I heard that it was hard to wake up from a ghost pressing you on the bed.

(TNote: Ghost pressing you on the bed = the phenomena that a ghost would be sitting on your chest when you sleep, and/or could be explained as sleep paralysis.)

The beauty didn’t pay attention to him. Was she really a ghost?

“Okay! Don’t run!”

Su Chen yelled out and decided to take control of this dream.

Even if the other party was a beautiful ghost, it was still an illusion. 

The beautiful woman heard the words, and indeed as expected she stopped. She turned and looked at him with a somewhat playful expression, but still a little more indifferent. Apparently, she was waiting for Su Chen’s next words.

“Let’s go over there to eat some barbecue, okay? Isn’t it tiring to run in high heels in the middle of the night?”

Su Chen pointed at the barbecue booth across the street.

The stalls were brightly lit and crowded, in sharp contrast to the dark cold alley.

Smelling the fragrance in the air, Su Chen gulped, not to mention, this dream felt surreal.

This beautiful ghost also looked particularly clear, with delicate makeup, and the dress on her wasn’t cheap. He didn’t know much about women’s things, but he had to admit that this woman could be described with one word, beauty.

Unfortunately, since Miao Yiyi’s true face was clearly seen by him, he knew that the more beautiful a woman was, the more dangerous she was.

No matter how beautiful a woman was, not as beautiful as a good barbeque!

However, it was just a dream. Even if a ghost was chasing after him, he didn’t intend to cooperate with the act.

“??”

The beautiful ghost’s expression finally changed, obviously she didn’t expect Su Chen to say this.

Su Chen was a little smug. So, what if it was a ghost? This was my dream!

“I’m going even if you’re not. “

After that, without hesitation, he let go the beautiful woman and went to the barbecue booth.

He hadn’t taken a second step yet; the back of his collar was tugged by the beauty. 

The beauty wasn’t as tall as Su Chen, and she looked soft and weak. But Su Chen couldn’t walk after such a light pull. 

As expected of a female ghost …

In his heart, Su Chen felt that it was better not to go on with this dream. Otherwise, wouldn’t the female ghost bully him later because she got angry at him?  

Su Chen began to struggle to the death. I heard that people can wake up from ghost pressing as long as they struggle hard enough.

“Do you want to ask those big brothers at the back for their opinion first?”

Perhaps Su Chen’s struggle played a role, and the beautiful woman finally couldn’t help opening her mouth.

Not to mention, the voice was quite nice, just because of this voice, Su Chen turned his head to look. It didn’t matter if he didn’t look, but he could not wait to get rid of the beauty that was dragging him.

Was this not a ghost dream but a police action dream?

In our country, could people brazenly chase other people with guns out?

“Run!”

Of all the best 36 strategies, this was the best plan! Su Chen also forgot whether it was a dream or not and started to run as if his life depended on it.

He hasn’t run a few steps yet when he suddenly heard a loud bang behind him. Turning his head to look, it was actually the beautiful woman who punched the man in black who had caught up behind him in the face when he took a step away.

The men in black didn’t seem to want to kill them. Otherwise, if one shot was fired at such a close distance, how could they keep their lives?

In addition to the first man in black who rushed over and  was knocked unconscious by a fist of this beautiful woman, the people who came after him who saw the hit,  put their guns away. They began to physically fight.

“Are the killers so unprofessional? They’re not using their guns!”

Su Chen was speechless. He stood there and struggled for a moment, but he didn’t resist. He turned and ran back.

Although he always kept away from beautiful women, but not to the point of running away on his own when a beautiful woman stayed behind to help him. 

Without thinking where he got a stick, Su Chen rushed at one of the men in black and hit him. 

But how could he hit a professional killer? 

When he passed out, Su Chen’s mind was thinking: If he passed out, could he wake up?

But when he opened his eyes again, he saw a completely unfamiliar pink room.

Even the place where he was lying was all pink.

“Awake? You’re really a failure as a bodyguard. “

The cold sarcastic voice of the woman made Su Chen confirm that this wasn’t a dream.

But if this wasn’t a dream then where was this? He also lived in an environment where nothing as magical as what happened before could happen.

Get a gun?  Fighting in the street?  I’m afraid these people will be caught before the gun could enter the country.

How could such a bad public security problem happen?

Besides, his physique was originally bad, especially when he got older. how could he run?

But just now he really ran fast, and his body was too flexible.

Looking around, he soon found that the woman was sitting at the vanity that had a mirror.

He quickly jumped out of bed and rushed in front of the mirror, ignoring the startled woman. Then he saw the young appearance of the man in the mirror.

He was right, this was what he looked like when he was young, probably in his 20s… but he was already 38 now!!

“I didn’t let them hit your face. “

When the woman saw this, she immediately had no choice but to open her mouth. Obviously, the other party misunderstood him and thought he was afraid of being beaten until his face turned ugly. 

“Who are those people?”

In fact, Su Chen would like to ask who this woman was, who cared about those people in black who have long been beaten to death by the woman in front of him, ah?  So many people with guns, still couldn’t beat a woman? Why did he need to pay attention to them?

Of course, as a man who couldn’t beat those people in black, he was inferior, but it didn’t matter!

What was important was that he had to find out the situation. When this woman found out that he wasn’t the original owner of the body, he wouldn’t be killed by this monster of a woman, right?

“My colleague’s men. “

The woman gave him a look, a little surprised. With that, Su Chen, who was feeling a little weak from her glance and wondering if he was exposed, breathed a sigh of relief.

“Sorry to make you face this on your first day at work, but they shouldn’t show up again in the short term.”

It turned out that this man and this woman weren’t very familiar with each other, that was good to know.

Speaking of which, the woman was obviously embarrassed to start talking, and her entire coolness was gone.

“You have lost all your things, I’ll have a replacement sent. Your hometown is too far away from here, don’t go back. “

At this moment, she was more like a little girl who was afraid of Su Chen running away. Her tone and facial expression were somewhat careful. Seeing Su Chen had no reaction, she added.

“I’ll give you a raise to 30,000 yuan. “

“30… 30,000?”

Su Chen’s first reaction was to cover his chest and retreat quickly.

Oh, dear mother, even if he was the director of the research office, he would only get a couple of thousand in salary. What job would give 30,000?

Yes, bodyguards. But a bodyguard as useless as him could get 30,000?

What was wrong with this woman’s brain?

Or … She had a crush with his face, and being a bodyguard was just a cover-up?

Oh my God! He was selling his talents, not his body!

Ahem, no, he has been totally pure for so many years, how can he be incapable?

“Ha ~ ~”

Seeing Su Chen’s reaction, the beautiful woman’s face immediately darkened, and her contempt returned. She took out her cell phone, typed a few words, showed a page, and handed it to Su Chen.

Su Chen was curious and took a closer look at the page. The reason was none other than the introduction of this beautiful woman here in front of him.

It was just that the person in the photo wore heavy make-up and the makeup was still of poor quality, which not only didn’t add any points to the beauty of the woman in front of him, but also pulled down more than a notch.

The woman  who was introduced on this page as an international superstar, a popular dream girl in this country, a goddess, and so on, followed by a variety of film and television queen awards and works.

However, compared to the bragging rights, the woman’s work seems a bit sparse, just three films.

One TV drama and two movies.

However, thanks to these two films and a TV series, the beautiful woman, Lu Shasha, had won numerous awards, both domestic and international.

However, in Su Chen’s opinion, these three works didn’t seem to win other prizes. Although he was old, he still understood young people’s things.

Therefore, he took a sneak look at Lu Sasha and opened Weibo.

Searching for three words: Lu Sha Sha.

All of a sudden, all kinds of curses were poured out.

It was just that she had a big boss behind her. Apart from her face, she was useless, arrogant, unprofessional, had no acting skills, playing big names, and so on. These were all still okay, Su Chen couldn’t stomach the other vicious words.

As for Lu Shasha’s Weibo, it has no content either. The update frequency was low. Occasionally, it has posts of selfies with her in heavy makeup, just like an empty doll, showing no image of the actress.

“What are you looking at?”

Liu Shasha saw Su Chen’s face changed several times, but she didn’t wait until she was ashamed as she thought she would be. When she poked her head to see, her face suddenly darkened.

“Well, in a word, I can’t have that kind of idea to you. Take the money and be my bodyguard. The only requirement is to keep your mouth shut!”

With that, Liu Shasha took the mobile phone and went out.

While walking, she also muttered:

“Strange, obviously the person we found this time was a mute and illiterate, is there some mistake?”

…

Su Chen, who thought he had covered up well, suddenly became petrified. Then he heard a mechanical sound in his mind.
