After trying to win over Bo Jingcheng for five years, Jiang Xinyue gave up her chance to return to the real world for him. She firmly believed that her deep affection and love could warm his cold h...
Jiang Xinyue took a deep breath, a complex emotion in her eyes, and slowly said, "Shuheng, actually I don't know why I came to this world. After the car accident five years ago, when I woke up, I found myself in this unfamiliar place, and I had become a character in a novel."
She paused, then continued, "When I first arrived here, I was really confused and scared. I didn't know what to do. Moreover, I discovered that the plot of this world was exactly the same as a novel I had once read. I became Bo Jingcheng's arranged wife, and the system told me to win him over. Once my conquest score reached 100%, I could return to my original world."
For so many years, Bo Jingcheng's favorability towards her has remained at 99%, just 1% away from going up.
It wasn't until Shen Siyao returned to China that she learned the remaining 1% was reserved for her.
"What will happen if you fail to win over Bo Jingcheng?" Fu Shuheng couldn't help but ask, gripping her hand even tighter.
It was as if she would disappear again the moment he let go.
"The system said that if the strategy fails, I will disappear from this world completely."
Upon hearing this, Fu Shuheng's face turned deathly pale. He instinctively pulled Jiang Xinyue into his arms, as if trying to meld her into his own body. His voice trembled slightly as he said, "No, I will never let you disappear, never!"
Jiang Xinyue leaned against him, feeling his rapid heartbeat, and gently comforted him, "It's okay. I've figured it out now. I don't want to follow the system's requirements to conquer Bo Jingcheng anymore."
Then, Jiang Xinyue blushed and got out of his arms, continuing, "The system said that I can use points to exchange for a chance to go home."
Upon hearing this, Fu Shuheng's face lit up with surprise and delight. "Really?"
Jiang Xinyue nodded with a smile, "It's true. The time I left was exactly the same day my divorce case with Bo Jingcheng started."
At this point, Jiang Xinyue paused and added a sentence.
“Since we’ve both transmigrated here, perhaps I can talk to the system and ask them to take you out of the novel’s world so we can go back together.”
Fu Shuheng's eyes shone with hope as he tightly grasped Jiang Xinyue's hand, saying excitedly, "Xinyue, is it really possible? It would be wonderful if we could go back together. But this system was so insistent before, will it grant our request?"
Jiang Xinyue frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, said, "No matter what, I have to try. I can't leave you alone in this world, and we still have family and friends in our original world."
As she spoke, Jiang Xinyue held her breath and began to summon the system.
"System, come out now!"
Jiang Xinyue called for a long time without getting a response, and she became a little anxious: "Strange, why can't I contact the system?"
She then realized that the system hadn't appeared for a long time.
"Damn system, why isn't it saying anything? Could it be that it's been lying to me all along?"
Seeing her anxious expression, Fu Shuheng comforted her, "Don't worry, maybe there's something wrong with the system. Let's think of another way. Or maybe the system is unreliable and has temporarily shut down."
Just then, the system's voice came through.
[System: Who said this system is unreliable? Who is it that's talking behind my back?]
Upon hearing the system's voice, Jiang Xinyue was both surprised and delighted. She immediately questioned, "System, why did you only appear now? I called you so many times and you didn't respond. Were you deliberately playing with me? Also, is what you said about using points to exchange for a chance to go home true?"
The system's voice carried a hint of displeasure: "[This system was just undergoing maintenance, that's why I wasn't intentionally ignoring you. As for exchanging points for a chance to go home, that's true, this system always keeps its word.]"
Jiang Xinyue frowned and said, "In that case, we have another request. Fu Shuheng and I both came from our original world, could we take him back with us?"
The system was silent for a moment, then said: [According to the rules, this system is only responsible for sending hosts who have completed their missions back to their original worlds; you are not included in this scope. However, considering the deep bond between you two, I can give him a chance.]
Jiang Xinyue's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "What opportunity? Tell me quickly!"
The system said slowly, "If you complete a special task within the next week, I can make an exception and bring him back with you."
"What mission?" Fu Shuheng and Jiang Xinyue asked at the same time.
The system cleared its throat: "You'll see then. That's all for now. I'm going back to get some sleep. Goodbye!"
The system fell silent after speaking, leaving Jiang Xinyue and Fu Shuheng looking at each other in bewilderment. Jiang Xinyue stomped her foot and said with annoyance, "Why is this system like this? It messes up at the crucial moment and left without even explaining itself."
Fu Shuheng gently patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, since the system said it would give us a chance, there will definitely be task prompts. Let's prepare ourselves first, and I will complete any task, no matter how difficult it is."
Before they knew it, it was the day Jiang Xinyue and Bo Jingcheng were going through their divorce proceedings.
Bo Jingcheng attended with his son Bo Xuan, while Jiang Xinyue attended with her best friend, lawyer Qin Ruolin, and her older brother Jiang Chengyu. Fu Shuheng also came to witness this moment.
The two sides met at the courthouse entrance, where Bo Jingcheng had invited his cronies, including Li Ming and Zhang Qi.
"Jiang Xinyue, I don't know where you got the nerve to divorce our Brother Bo." Zhang Qi had always disliked Jiang Xinyue, and even now, he couldn't resist giving her a few words of criticism.
Li Ming chimed in, "That's right, I just don't understand what's wrong with our Brother Bo. You two already have a child, why are you still going out to find this pretty boy?"
As he spoke, Li Ming pointed at Fu Shuheng.
Fu Shuheng's expression turned cold, and he stepped forward and punched him viciously.
"Didn't your mother teach you not to point fingers at people when you talk to them?"
Li Ming staggered a few steps after being punched by Fu Shuheng, almost falling to the ground. An angry expression immediately appeared on his face. He covered his slapped face and roared furiously, "You dare hit me? Do you know who I am?"
Fu Shuheng snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain: "I don't care who you are, watch your mouth, or next time it won't be as simple as just one punch."
Seeing this, Zhang Qi immediately rushed up to help Li Ming, but was stopped by Jiang Chengyu.
Jiang Chengyu was tall and had sharp eyes. He looked coldly at Zhang Qi and said, "This is a courthouse. You'd better behave yourselves and not cause trouble here."
"Enough!" Bo Jingcheng spoke up at this moment. "I brought you here not to watch you fight."
He wanted his friends to testify on his behalf so that Jiang Xinyue would be unable to divorce him.
