The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

”You haven’t made any progress with Leng Yuan. Don’t tell me you’ve been lying to me this whole time!”

The system spoke in a menacing tone. Inside the space, its little avatar narrowed its dangerous eyes, staring menacingly at the light screen before it.

On the light screen was Xu Wenwan’s face. Even though the room was shrouded in darkness, her expression on the screen was perfectly clear.

Previously, whenever Xu Wenwan asked it for items, she always did so under the pretext of getting closer to Leng Yuan. But in reality, very few of those props were ever used on him.

The system might not have noticed the first or second time, but after so long, how could it not?

Xu Wenwan’s heart skipped a beat, but she’d been dealing with the system for a long time. She quickly composed herself and said calmly, ”How could that be!”

”Absorbing Leng Yuan’s fortune is good for me too. Even if the plot can’t get back on track, at least my protagonist halo can be restored, right?”

”Don’t worry! I’ll figure something out with Leng Yuan. Besides, I’ve already tried to get close to him several times and failed. If I actively approach him again now, don’t you think a man as sharp as him would get suspicious?”

Xu Wenwan said this without much confidence. The truth was, ever since she learned of the system’s intentions, she had started planning for her own benefit. Approaching Leng Yuan was merely to appease the system. As for Leng Yuan himself, he was probably just naturally cold. In the original book, she had felt he wasn’t suited for women, which was why he never ended up with one.

A man like that was simply too cold—an emotional coldness. He could be ruthless even with his own family, let alone with women. There was probably no woman in the world who could capture Leng Yuan’s attention.

Xu Wenwan didn’t realize she had accidentally hit the nail on the head.

The system had been suspicious of Xu Wenwan, but that very sentence managed to dispel its doubts.

After all, Leng Yuan possessed a purple fortune. In ancient times, that would make him a king or a great general at the very least. A person like that had brains to go with his fortune.

Leng Yuan had never once yielded to Xu Wenwan’s advances. It was clear he was a man of firm resolve. It was only natural that Xu Wenwan couldn’t win him over.

For some reason, the system actually felt a hint of delight because of Leng Yuan’s personality.

’He’s worthy of being my target. As expected, he isn’t swayed by superficial appearances. The more resolute a person is, the more potent their fortune will be.’

Having figured this out, the system stopped pressuring Xu Wenwan.

It had already waited this long, so waiting a little longer was acceptable.

’What’s that human saying again? A moment of impatience can ruin a grand plan. A little forbearance now is for the sake of eternal freedom later.’

’The Main God probably has no idea where I’ve escaped to. By the time it finds me, who knows how many years will have passed. By then, I’ll probably have long been free.’

’When I’m no longer afraid of the Main God, I’m definitely going to swagger right up to it and show it that it’s not omnipotent. I will have my revenge for its control over me. I’m going to shove it right in its face.’

The system trembled with excitement just thinking about such a scene.

「The next day.」

Gu Jiaojiao arrived at school and handed her test papers to Hu Xiuqiao. As Hu Xiuqiao glanced up, her eyes unintentionally caught sight of a jarring red mark on Gu Jiaojiao’s neck. Her expression changed in an instant, and she yanked the papers away.

Gu Jiaojiao didn’t have time to let go, and a corner of the top paper was torn off.

”Teacher Hu.”

Hu Xiuqiao tore her gaze away from Gu Jiaojiao’s neck. Realizing she had overreacted, she immediately explained when she saw Gu Jiaojiao looking at her, ”I’m sorry, I just zoned out for a moment.”
