Why isn't Chapter 2 following the script?

Hearing the knocking on the door from outside, Jiang Chenfeng trembled inwardly and thought to himself:

[He's here, he's here! Lin Tian has come to play the hero and save the beauty. Luckily, I didn't do anything, otherwise, I'd definitely be dead!]

[As long as I clear my name and completely draw a line between myself and this Iceberg Stupid Woman, Lin Tian won't have a reason to make a move, and my life won't be in danger!]

[And this Iceberg Stupid Woman will surely fall in love with Lin Tian because of this, becoming a sitting duck for him. When the time comes, Lin Tian will just have to snap his fingers, and this Iceberg Stupid Woman will proactively grovel before him!]

These inner thoughts flowed clearly into Liu Xinlan's mind. Hearing them made her fly into a rage, her eyes radiating a murderous glare as she glared fiercely at Jiang Chenfeng.

Jiang Chenfeng completely failed to understand why Liu Xinlan was so angry and said awkwardly, "Miss Liu, do you not trust me? How about I swear to the heavens that from now on, there will be no connection between us, and I will disappear from your sight forever!"

But the more he expressed himself this way, the angrier Liu Xinlan became, nearly exploding with rage.

This guy who had been groveling before her for three years—why did it seem like he was avoiding her like the plague now?

As if he couldn't get away fast enough?

On the surface, he called her "Miss Liu" with every breath, but behind her back, he couldn't stop calling her "Iceberg Stupid Woman"!

Is this dog of a man even human?

Bang!

The main door was slammed open.

A figure rushed in frantically, shouting, "Miss Liu, Miss Liu, I..."

Before Lin Tian could continue.

Jiang Chenfeng had already proactively greeted him, grabbing Lin Tian's hands and saying with a look of heartbreak, "Mr. Lin, Big Brother Lin! You've finally arrived!"

"You..."

Lin Tian had originally intended to strike immediately and cripple this guy who wanted to violate Liu Xinlan.

But Jiang Chenfeng's words caught him off guard, making him daze for a moment.

Jiang Chenfeng didn't give Lin Tian a chance to speak at all, saying with a face full of sincerity, "Mr. Lin, I was specifically waiting here for you. Do you understand my well-intentioned efforts?"

"I..."

"Don't say anything! Since you're here, I'll leave Miss Liu in your hands!"

Jiang Chenfeng shook his head, feigning reluctance, and wiped away non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes. He sighed, "Miss Liu and you are a match made in heaven. You're a talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect pair. What am I? I, Jiang Chenfeng, am nothing. How could I possibly be worthy of Miss Liu?"

"You know I've pursued Miss Liu for so many years, and she's never even spared me a glance. I was too foolish before, insisting on pestering her. Now I've finally realized that true love isn't about possession, but about letting go!"

"So I've made up my mind to bring you and Miss Liu together. It's not that I don't love her—on the contrary, I love her very much. That's why I want to help you two, so that lovers may finally be united!"

This heart-wrenching confession left the angry Lin Tian stunned, his fury extinguished as if doused with a bucket of cold water.

He was completely bewildered!

What was this guy playing at?

He hadn't even made a move yet, so why had the other guy already admitted defeat?

Feeling the killing intent on Lin Tian gradually dissipate, Jiang Chenfeng truly breathed a sigh of relief inwardly:

[Good thing I reacted fast enough to explain everything first. As long as I distance myself from this Iceberg Stupid Woman, everything will be fine!]

[It's just a pity for the Liu family. Such a great family business is about to be handed over. I bet that Iceberg Stupid Woman, Liu Xinlan, must have already fallen for Lin Tian by now, right? But what she doesn't know is that Lin Tian has three thousand beauties in his harem, and she'll be lucky to rank first among them!]

Liu Xinlan's face was ashen, and the more she watched, the angrier she got.

Hardened!

Her fists were hardened!

However, she wasn't truly stupid.

Since she started hearing Jiang Chenfeng's inner thoughts, it seemed that everything was indeed developing according to his predictions!

She didn't know how Jiang Chenfeng could have such foresight, but she would definitely not act according to this projected future.

Her, joining Lin Tian's harem?

You've got to be kidding!

This is sheer madness!

Although Lin Tian had indeed done a few things that made her feel very satisfied.

But there was no way she would inexplicably fall in love with a Bodyguard!

Lin Tian looked at Liu Xinlan with a bewildered expression. "Miss Liu, did this guy do anything to you? Just say the word, and I'll cripple him today!"

Liu Xinlan looked at Lin Tian coldly. For no apparent reason, a trace of disgust welled up in her heart as she said, "Who gave you permission to barge in?"

"Miss Liu, I was afraid you were in danger..." Lin Tian replied, completely confused.

Liu Xinlan had originally held some good feelings toward Lin Tian, but now that she had heard Jiang Chenfeng's thoughts, her impression of Lin Tian was completely shattered.

Especially that bit about a harem!

And the words about handing over the Liu family business to Lin Tian!

This caused a sliver of suspicion to arise in Liu Xinlan. Was Lin Tian approaching her with ulterior motives?

Before Lin Tian could finish, Liu Xinlan snapped, "Breaking in without permission—is this how a Bodyguard should behave? If you weren't my Bodyguard, I'd think you were the villain here!"

"Xinlan, what... what's wrong? I'm your personal Bodyguard; of course I have to protect your safety at all times! Tell me quickly, was it this man named Jiang? Did he try to take advantage of you? Just nod, and I'll turn him into a cripple immediately!" Lin Tian was taken aback for a moment, then spoke with righteous indignation.

"Hmph! You say Jiang Chenfeng had ill intentions toward me? I think the one with ill intentions is someone else entirely!" Liu Xinlan snorted coldly, her words heavy with implication.

Standing to the side, Jiang Chenfeng was completely dumbfounded, thinking to himself:

[Wait, wait, wait! This isn't the script! According to normal logic, Lin Tian should have barged in recklessly to protect this Iceberg Stupid Woman's safety, and she should have been overjoyed and filled with admiration, eventually becoming a member of Lin Tian's harem!]

[Didn't Lin Tian go to all that trouble to become a personal Bodyguard just so he could step up at the critical moment, capture this Iceberg Stupid Woman's heart, successfully take her body, and get the entire Liu family fortune as a bonus?]

[As long as this Iceberg Stupid Woman follows the plot, I can extract myself completely. She wouldn't mess things up, would she? Please, don't let that happen!]

Hearing Jiang Chenfeng's thoughts, a cold sneer involuntarily curled the corners of Liu Xinlan's mouth as she glanced at him.

You want to extract yourself?

You want me to follow the script?

Whatever you, Jiang Chenfeng, want to happen, I will make sure you don't get your way!

Calling me an Iceberg Stupid Woman?

I'll show you right now whether I, Liu Xinlan, am stupid or not!

"Jiang Chenfeng, don't you like me? For the sake of your three years of pursuing me, I'll give you a chance!" Liu Xinlan said indifferently.

Jiang Chenfeng was completely dumbstruck!
