The Heroines Can Hear My and the Protagonist's Inner Voice!?

"Never mind."

Rose looked toward him.

He continued.

"If you aren’t comfortable, don’t."

She stared.

Then...

Her expression softened.

Again.

That was exactly what Lu Chen wouldn’t do.

He would say...

It’s necessary.

You’re part of Black Wolf.

Do it.

Shen Tian simply...

Backed off.

Rose considered.

Then shook her head.

"No."

Shen Tian looked toward her.

"I’ll do it."

"You sure?"

"No."

That answer surprised him.

Rose continued.

"But if Viper is involved..."

"I need to know why."

Shen Tian nodded.

"No pressure."

Rose smiled faintly.

"Thanks."

Lin Yue watched.

And...

There it was again.

Her crush deepened slightly.

Not because Shen Tian was handsome.

Though...

That did not hurt.

Not because he was strong.

Though...

Also not hurting.

It was moments like that.

Small.

Easy to miss.

He could be overwhelmingly arrogant...

And still leave another person their choice.

Lin Yue looked at him.

Then realized she had been staring again.

Shen Tian’s green eyes moved toward her.

She immediately looked away.

Rose saw.

Her eyebrow rose.

Lin Yue sighed.

"Don’t."

Rose smiled.

"I said nothing."

. . .

Later that afternoon...

Rose returned to the Black Wolf safehouse.

Alone.

Lu Chen had arrived earlier.

Ghost sat near a computer.

Bear was sleeping on a couch.

The moment Rose entered...

Lu Chen looked up.

Their eyes met.

Silence.

Then...

His thoughts reached her.

[She’s back.]

Rose kept walking.

[Did she actually have coffee with him?]

Her expression remained neutral.

[What did they talk about?]

She set down her jacket.

[Did he touch her?]

Rose stopped.

Slowly.

Then...

[Did she let him?]

Her jaw tightened.

She turned.

"Lu Chen."

He looked toward her.

"What?"

"We need to talk."

Ghost immediately looked up.

Bear’s eyes opened.

Lu Chen leaned back.

"About Shen Tian?"

Rose stared.

"About you."

His expression changed.

She walked closer.

Then...

"You’re getting worse."

Silence.

Lu Chen’s eyes narrowed.

"What does that mean?"

"It means every conversation becomes Shen Tian."

"Every operation becomes Shen Tian."

"Every woman becomes Shen Tian."

His face darkened.

Rose continued.

"You keep saying he took things from you."

"But..."

She shook her head.

"Most of it..."

"You pushed away yourself."

Lu Chen stood.

"Careful."

Rose’s expression turned cold.

"No."

"You be careful."

Ghost immediately stood.

"Guys..."

Rose raised one hand.

"Stay out of it."

Ghost stopped.

Lu Chen stared.

Rose continued.

"Qingya told you no."

"You ignored her."

"Meilin didn’t ask for your attention."

"You assumed she’d want it."

"Lin Yue wanted to reconnect with an old friend."

"Then she heard what you actually think."

Lu Chen clenched his jaw.

"And me..."

Rose’s voice became quieter.

"You’ve been treating me like property."

His eyes widened.

"No, I haven’t."

"Yes."

"No."

"You think it constantly."

Lu Chen froze.

Rose stared directly into his eyes.

"She’s Black Wolf."

"My teammate."

"My people."

"Why is she with him?"

She repeated his thoughts back.

Lu Chen’s face changed.

Rose continued.

"I’m not saying you don’t care."

"I know you do."

"I’ve seen you risk your life for us."

"I’ve watched you carry Bear out of a collapsing building."

"I’ve watched you take bullets for Ghost."

"I know exactly what kind of man you can be."

Her voice softened.

Then...

"That’s why this is so disappointing."

Silence.

That hurt.

Far more than anger.

Lu Chen’s expression changed.

For half a second...

Something almost broke through.

Self-awareness.

Rose saw it.

Then...

His pride returned.

"Shen Tian put this in your head."

Rose’s face immediately went cold.

There it was.

Again.

No.

No responsibility.

Just Shen Tian.

Rose sighed.

"You really learned nothing in that skull trial."

Lu Chen froze.

Ghost looked over.

Bear sat up.

Rose hadn’t intended to say that.

Too late.

Lu Chen’s face became dark.

"What did you say?"

Rose stared.

Then...

She didn’t retreat.

"You heard me."

His aura stirred.

Ghost moved.

"Boss."

Bear stood.

"Enough."

Lu Chen’s eyes remained on Rose.

Rose’s did not move.

Then...

His thoughts exploded.

[She chose him.]

Her chest tightened.

Not sadness.

Exhaustion.

Rose shook her head.

"No."

Lu Chen frowned.

She continued.

"I chose myself."

Silence.

Then...

Rose turned.

She walked toward her room.

Lu Chen stared after her.

His hand slowly clenched.

Ghost looked toward him.

"Boss."

Lu Chen didn’t answer.

Bear sighed.

And for the first time...

Black Wolf’s inner circle began to understand something.

The biggest threat to Lu Chen wasn’t Shen Tian.

It was Lu Chen.

. . .

That evening...

Shen Tian returned to the Shen mansion.

The moment he entered the main sitting room...

He stopped.

Everyone was there.

Again.

Yin Suyi.

Shen Yan.

Ling Shuangxue.

Bai Xue.

Chi Lingxi.

Su Yue.

Several others.

Shen Tian stared.

"...Why?"

Bai Xue smiled.

"Why what?"

"Why are all of you sitting like you’re waiting for court proceedings?"

Su Yue crossed her arms.

"We heard."

Shen Tian raised an eyebrow.

"Heard what?"

Chi Lingxi smiled suspiciously.

"Coffee."

Shen Tian slowly looked toward Xu Ning.

She immediately raised both hands.

[Not me.]

Ling Shuangxue calmly looked at her phone.

"Rose posted a picture."

Shen Tian froze.

"What picture?"

Su Yue turned her phone around.

A photograph.

Coffee cup.

Hospital bracelet.

The edge of Shen Tian’s sleeve visible across the table.

Caption:

Finally getting that coffee.

Shen Tian stared.

Then...

At Rose’s visible username.

Then...

At everyone.

"That’s it?"

Bai Xue smiled.

"That’s it."

Her tone said otherwise.

Yin Suyi looked toward him.

"Rose."

"Yes."

"The mercenary."

"Yes."

"Beautiful?"

Shen Tian sighed.

"Mother."

"What?"

Shen Yan’s eyes narrowed.

"She has weapons."

"So do you."

"Exactly."

"..."

Shen Tian looked toward his sister.

"Yan."

She remembered.

Then...

She sighed.

"Fine."

She sat back.

"I’m not saying anything."

Bai Xue looked shocked.

"Character development."

Shen Yan glared.

Shen Tian pointed.

"No."

She looked away.

Su Yue stood.

Then walked toward Shen Tian.

She stopped directly in front of him.

Her expression was serious.

Shen Tian raised an eyebrow.

"What?"

She looked up at him.

Then...

"Did you have fun?"

He blinked.

"At coffee?"

"Yes."

"Yeah."

Su Yue nodded.
