Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 1097: Chapter 1069: Gift-Wrapped Questions

Following Chen Xiaoqian’s rules, the two of them each occupied opposite sides and wrote questions with their heads down, while Yu Minglang stood quietly, observing the structure of the entire room.

”You don’t need to ponder anymore, Wang Xiaohong can’t be saved. I’ve already rigged this place, and if I press a button, no one will survive.” The villain answered while writing.

Yu Minglang withdrew his gaze, desperately wishing to annihilate the guy across with a thousand cuts.

The worst-case scenario he feared came true. The opponent had indeed installed a rigged system in the room, intending to bet everything in a final, big move.

”Husband, stand there and don’t move. As long as we haven’t finished, he won’t want to die with us. If he misses this chance, even in the future he won’t find anyone to play along blissfully even in the 18th layer of hell, right?” Qian wrote questions without even raising her head.

Yu Minglang could only restrain himself.

This high IQ individual has set the room layout so intricately, it must be calculated. Even if Yu Minglang rushes at his fastest speed, he can’t save Wang Xiaohong. His hopes now rest on Qian.

Yu Minglang glanced down at the questions Chen Xiaoqian was writing and couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

What on earth is his wife doing, writing only giveaway questions?

On the test paper, there were a total of 10 questions, with the first three being very simple, like what’s your favorite color, what is your school’s name, and what do you feel when doing bad things.

Asking someone’s basic information, wouldn’t they be able to answer? By asking these, it’s basically giving away points—no, that’s not his wife’s style.

Yu Minglang quickly realized one thing: it seemed foolish for Chen Xiaoqian to give away three points in a row, but in fact, each step had her intentions.

The questions seem idiotic, but upon deeper thought, they are terrifying. While answering, the opponent is surely wary, as the answers are determined by Qian, making him ponder over how much Qian knows about him.

Whether he answers correctly or incorrectly, the psychological impact on him is sure to be significant.

Moreover, the most ruthless aspect of Qian’s plan is that she requires him to reveal an answer each time he answers a question, but all her questions relate to him. Even if he answers all correctly, the internal shock is inevitable.

Qian is aiming for this psychological effect.

Quickly, all ten questions and answers were completed.

Yu Minglang had twenty sheets of paper in his hand, containing the answers written by the villain and Chen Xiaoqian. According to Qian’s rules, one answer sheet is revealed after answering each question.

Knowing Yu Minglang’s exceptional skills, the villain fashioned his answer sheets into paper airplanes, which flew out. Yu Minglang picked up the villain’s answers and his expression changed slightly.

Qian’s answers are all odd things, but the opponent wrote nine answers related to the universe and philosophy. Yu Minglang can only see the answers, not the questions. From the answers, he deduces that nine of the ten questions the opponent asked are philosophy-related.

Philosophy usually allows for multiple interpretations, and Yu Minglang worries about Qian. He wonders whether she can answer them all correctly; besides Qian and Zheng Xu, no one can consistently and accurately address these philosophical issues.

However, Yu Minglang was even more startled by the answer to the tenth question.

The answer consists of three characters.

Qio Yu Xuan.

What question could have Qio Yu Xuan as the answer?

Isn’t Qio Yu Xuan the renowned global psychiatrist who wants to take Qian as an apprentice? Why did this villain write Qio Yu Xuan as the answer to the tenth question? What exactly did this villain ask in his tenth question?

”We officially begin answering. Let me start by asking my first question. Chen Xiaoqian, explain the relationship between existence and nothingness.”

The villain posed the first question.

”The world is absurd, life is painful, and living is meaningless.” Qian answered calmly.

Yu Minglang was surprised as he glanced at the answers in his hand—she got it right?!

How did she guess such a bizarre and seemingly nonsensical answer?

Qian mentally raised a victory sign.

During her days acting as a support here, she wasn’t just focused on arguing with others; they seriously studied this villain’s entire growth trajectory. Qian noticed in the records that his favorite book is ”Being and Nothingness,” and the most classic sentence from that book is this.

Qian happened to have read the book, thus easily answering the first question correctly.

Yu Minglang raised the answer sheet, indicating fairness.

It was Qian’s turn to ask, ”What is your favorite color?”

The opponent did not expect Qian to ask such a question and was visibly taken aback.

”You ask me?!”

”Yes.”

”I like red the most—Chen Xiaoqian, don’t you think asking such simple questions is ridiculous? Are you seeking to be shot first?”

”Just answer me.” Qian appeared exceptionally composed.

”I like purple the most.”

Yu Minglang raised the answer sheet. ”You answered correctly.”

”Second question, why did Socrates willingly face death?” The villain asked.

”He was foolish.” Qian answered promptly and bluntly.

Yu Minglang rubbed his forehead—wife, can’t you be a bit more serious! Was she deliberately answering wrong?

Philosopher Socrates was sentenced to death and forced to drink hemlock juice. His friends thought he should escape, but Socrates chose death to uphold his beliefs despite deeming it unfair, something even non-professionals know. Was Qian deliberately answering wrong?

Indeed, the villain laughed loudly upon hearing Qian’s answer.

”You may reveal the answer,” the villain instructed Yu Minglang.

”Wife, you got this one wrong. Socrates died upholding his beliefs; it had nothing to do with him being foolish.” Yu Minglang lifted the correct answer for the second round.

At the opening, Qian shamelessly gave points away, and Yu Minglang suspected she was deliberately answering wrong.

”Hmm, mark down one point. Let me ask my question, what’s the name of your high school and what’s your favorite thing about the school?”

”Are you asking me again? Are you actually foolish or do you have a death wish?” The villain doubted Qian’s intentions.

Qian smiled subtly.

”Just answer it first.”

”My school is X High, my favorite...” He paused slightly and contemplated for a long time before answering.

”My favorite was the roses below our school’s windows; during the blooming season, their intoxicating fragrance could be smelled every day as you walked by. It felt like the best time of my life.”

If Qian hadn’t asked, he wouldn’t have even recalled that scenery. Closing his eyes seems to bring back the last blooming season he experienced in school, after which he never saw such a beautiful rose bush.

Yu Minglang raised the answer sheet, looking at the opponent with a mysterious expression; the villain’s face twisted.

On that paper, Qian’s answer was clearly written.
