*Snap!* A crisp sound.

The security guard's feet stomped on the bluestone paving stones, creating a spiderweb-like crack!

It really was him, Ye Chen! This young master of the Dragon King Palace, the world's mercenary king, was currently wearing the Su family's security uniform, watching with fury as "his" woman was being intimate with another man.

Su Wanying also noticed the commotion. She followed Qin Xiao's gaze, her brows furrowing slightly. She didn't even bother to properly examine Ye Chen; her gaze merely swept over him casually, carrying the arrogance and impatience typical of a young lady.

"Hmm? Who is that person? He looks suspicious and even stepped on our floor tiles. He has no manners at all."

She looked at the old butler beside her.

"Butler, make a note of this and have him pay the full amount!"

After saying that, she seemed to completely disregard Ye Chen's murderous intent and happily linked arms with Qin Xiao.

"Come on, my darling, I've asked the kitchen to prepare lots of delicious food for you. Let's go eat!"

Qin Xiao was half-dragged, half-carried deeper into the manor, his mind reeling with turmoil. This plot... was completely off! Shouldn't Su Wanying have developed an interest in Ye Chen, this "king of soldiers and security guards," leading to a love-hate relationship where she ultimately won him over? Why was she being so proactive and enthusiastic towards him now, even going so far as to arrange a marriage with the Qin family?

"System, what's going on?" Qin Xiao called out to Yun Yiyi in his mind.

【Hmm... beep... buzz... According to Ben Yiyi's database analysis... the current situation... uh... it's possible... it's possible that the system has encountered a... no, a tiny bit... force majeure... data corruption?】 Yun Yiyi's voice carried obvious electronic noise and uncertainty.

"Bug?" Qin Xiao's lips twitched. "I think you're the biggest bug!"

[Host! How could you say that to me! Tsk tsk... I was trying my best to analyze it too! Humph! I've decided! I'm going to... I'm going to deal with this messed-up data... I'm ignoring you for a while!]

After saying that, Yun Yiyi fell completely silent.

Qin Xiao sighed helplessly. It seemed that the "plot" of this world, due to his arrival and the influence of the system, had begun to race headlong into a completely unknown direction.

However… feeling the amazing softness and elasticity of his arm, and the alluring fragrance lingering around his nose, Qin Xiao felt that this “bug” seemed… not bad at all? At least, it was much better than having his face stepped on by the Dragon King.

As for Ye Chen, who was still standing there glaring angrily, stomping on the floor tiles as if they were walnuts...

"Make him pay up," Qin Xiao repeated Su Wanying's words in his mind, a barely perceptible smile curving his lips.
