Chapter 217 - The Mastermind (2/2)
“From the start.” She bit into a fruit with a crunch.
“From the start… What the f*ck! Why didn’t you tell me?”
“You didn’t ask.”
“Can’t you just say it even if I didn’t ask?” Where was the trust between father and daughter?!
“I thought you knew.”
“Which eye of yours saw that I knew?”

Who would be able to guess such a thing easily?
Shen Ying tilted her head, “Wasn’t it you who told me about the plot?”
“Huh?” He faltered, what did she mean? “What does this have to do with the plot?”
“The book you read!” Shen Ying continued eating her fruit leisurely, “Apart from the emotional drama, although the process is completely different, aren’t the people who appeared the same as those who appeared in the end?”
Lonemoon thought about it attentively, indeed all the main characters had appeared. Be it the male and female lead, Yi Qing and even the gate to the Demon World had appeared.
However…
“What does this have to do with me? I’m not a person from the plot.”
“It’s exactly because you’re not.”
“What do you mean?” They were originally not from the book.
“Sigh!” Shen Ying let out a long sigh and put down the core of the fruit she had finished eating. “Father Niu, you kept saying that the book was your niece’s. So, do you remember which publisher the book was from? The author? The price?”
“Who would notice these kinds of things when reading books?” He replied habitually.
“Alright, let’s just say you didn’t notice. What about the cover? You should have seen the cover of the book, what genre was it? Can you describe it to me in detail?”
“Of course I know it, it’s…” Lonemoon was halfway through his speech and the clear image in his head suddenly became fuzzy. He could really not remember how the cover looked like?
“Can’t remember?”
“Why is it like this?”
“It’s because you’ve never seen read the book before, or perhaps the book never belonged to your niece.”
“How can that be, I clearly saw it, my niece was carrying it around the entire summer holidays.”
“Is that so?” Shen Ying continued to say, “You must dote on your niece a lot?”
“Of course!” Although he did not know why she would ask this suddenly, he habitually nodded, saying, “I only have this one niece.”
“That’s even weirder.” Shen Ying glanced at him and said, “You’re so rich and you dote on your niece so much, but you let her read a pirated book the entire summer holidays.”
“Pirated? How could it be…”
“Father Niu!” She interrupted him and patted him on the shoulder, saying, “Erotic novels are not allowed to be published.” Pornography was banned!
“Uh…” I already said it wasn’t an erotic novel… Alright, maybe just a little.
^(* ̄(oo) ̄)^
“So…” Shen Ying stood up and looked nonchalantly at the empty plate in front of her, then swapped it with the platter in front of him and continued saying, “If you really read that book, the only possibility… is that someone intentionally let you see it.”
Lonemoon frowned, “You’re saying that someone intentionally made me transmigrate into this book.”
“You still think that this is the world in the book?”
Lonemoon faltered, “Isn’t it?”
“Is it?”
