The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

Xu Wenwan was horrified by this thought.

She wasn’t an idiot; after a while, she naturally sensed that something wasn’t right.

The system had said that after absorbing someone’s fortune, she would be blessed by it. Yet, apart from the first two instances, her body showed no change whatsoever when she later absorbed the fortune of Mr. Jiu and his two subordinates.

And even on those first two occasions, her appearance had only changed after she brought it up.

’So the fortune is something the system can control. It’s useful to the system, not to me.’

’No wonder the system keeps pushing me to absorb other people’s fortune, especially Leng Yuan’s. It’s completely obsessed with it.’

To test her suspicion, Xu Wenwan deliberately spoke up.

”Little Seven, I think Leng Yuan is too hard to get close to. Why don’t we just give up on his fortune?”

The system, unaware of Xu Wenwan’s true thoughts, immediately grew anxious upon hearing her words.

”No, you can’t give up.”

”Don’t you want to get the plot back on track? Only Leng Yuan’s fortune can help you.”

Xu Wenwan sneered inwardly but kept up her weak facade. ”But I’ve already tried so hard, and nothing about the plot has changed. Is Leng Yuan really that powerful on his own?”

”And even if he is, he won’t let me get near him. There’s nothing I can do! I’m no match for him. Unless I had superhuman strength and could hold Leng Yuan down by force, then I could absorb his fortune.”

The system felt that Xu Wenwan was about to give up and decided it had to give her a little incentive. It was still wondering what to offer when it heard her last words and immediately spoke up.

”How about this! I have a Power Pill here. Just one will grant you immense strength. I’ll give you one. When you encounter Leng Yuan, you can take it. Then you’ll have the strength to fight back against him.”

’Just as I expected,’ Xu Wenwan thought.

’This damned system really is just using me to absorb fortune.’

’As soon as fortune is on the table, points are no longer an issue.’

She was so furious she could have died. That bastard had been deceiving her this entire time.

But she couldn’t lose her temper with the system. After all, the feeling of being electrocuted was unbearable.

’In a situation like this, we’ll just have to deceive each other.’

’The system can deceive me, so of course, I can deceive it. It’s just a matter of who’s one step ahead.’

Xu Wenwan thought she now had leverage over the system and was quite smug about it.

But the smug look had barely been on her face for a few minutes when she heard Yun Hao pushing at her door from outside.

She jumped in fright.

Outside, Yun Hao pushed the door, only to find it bolted from the inside. He instantly grew impatient and snapped, ”Xu Wenwan, open this door! What are you doing in there with it locked? Get out here and cook!”

A glint flashed in Xu Wenwan’s eyes as her voice grew even more fragile. ”Little Seven, if I open the door, do you think Yun Hao will come in and hit me? If I get hurt, then I won’t be able to go absorb anyone’s fortune.”

The system remained silent.

Xu Wenwan pressed on.

”I was planning to find Leng Yuan today. If I get hurt, I’ll have to postpone it.”

After a moment of silence, the system spoke.

”Host, I have an Obedience Pill here. Give it to Yun Hao, and he’ll have to obey you. The effect only lasts for one day.”

Xu Wenwan’s eyes lit up. ”Give it to me, quickly.”

The next moment, a brown pill appeared in Xu Wenwan’s hand.

She put the pill away. As she was about to open the door, she worried that her room smelled of braised pork, so she took out the perfume she had made and spritzed it around a few times.

Once she was sure that only the scent of perfume remained, Xu Wenwan opened the door.

The instant the door opened, a thick, pungent smell from the room rushed into Yun Hao’s nostrils, almost making him faint.
