Coquettish temptation

When they arrived at the police station, Zhou Qishen's lawyer was already waiting inside. Nearly an hour passed as Jiang Xiao followed the police officer on duty to complete a series of procedures including taking a statement, signing and stamping, and identifying the suspect.

In the quiet office, Jiang Xiao was the only one sitting on the bench in a daze, holding the hot water poured for her by the police officer on duty, and it seemed that she had not yet recovered from the shock.

The person who hit her with the car was her hater.

Jiang Xiao recalled what happened in the banquet hall over and over again, and finally realized what the system meant when it said that she had completely deviated from the main plot. It was probably because of what she said to Zhou Wenting: From today on, we have no relationship anymore.

If a vicious female supporting character doesn't do evil, it's like a cook not cooking. It's impossible for her to be beautiful on her own, so her death in the book is brought forward.

In other words, the system was not kidding her, it really wanted to kill her and replace her with another character.

If Zhou Qishen hadn't suddenly appeared and saved her, and opened up some secret plot, she would be dead now.

It seems that her previous guess was correct. Only by grasping Zhou Qishen as a life-saving straw and activating the secret line can she survive. Otherwise, the system can take her life at any time.

【System 003: My dear, you have a high level of comprehension. That’s it. 】

The system's mechanical and indifferent voice suddenly sounded in her mind. Jiang Xiao was stunned at first, and then almost jumped up from her chair: Damn it! Can you please come out here and let me spank you?

[System 003: No, my dear. Friendly reminder: beating others at will is illegal. 】

Jiang Xiao was indignant: Are you considered a human being?

【System 003 (serious): Although it doesn’t count, you can’t fight me. 】

Jiang Xiao was silent for two seconds and replied: Oh.

【System 003(>﹏

Jiang Xiao sneered: Haha, what can I expect from you? Just tell me, what is the situation now?

【System 003: Since you have strayed from the main plot, there is only one way to go now, and that is to take advantage of the villain's traffic. If you take advantage of it enough, you will naturally be able to change your bad fate and reverse the inevitable death of the cannon fodder who has strayed from the main plot. 】

In order to help Jiang Xiao understand the meaning of freeloading, the system kindly explained:

【System 003: To gain traffic, as the name implies, is to increase the villain's presence and boost his appearance rate. 】

Jiang Xiao thought for a moment and said that she was very sensible. She just wanted to make her presence felt. Isn't that simple?

Come to think of it, isn't she taking advantage of Zhou Qishen's traffic now? Although she stayed with Zhou Qishen by accident because of her crazy behavior of blindly recognizing her husband, the result was very good, and it was also a positive move that promoted the process of gaining traffic.

Jiang Xiao thought of something: Can you let me see the progress bar? Is it the kind that shows the success percentage at any time?

In some of the book-traveling system novels she had read before, the protagonist would have a display screen to indicate the progress. As long as she had enough traffic, she could run away at the first opportunity.

However, the system's answer put her in an ice cellar.

【System 003: Sorry, my dear, this system is of a lower level and does not provide this service. 】

Jiang Xiao: ...Then what use are you?

【System 003 (hesitating): I, I, I am beautiful, kind-hearted, and have a lovely personality. 】

Jiang Xiao rolled her eyes and was sure of one thing: her system was useless except for talking nonsense.

In a rage, she... was just angry for a while. What else could she do except accept the current situation?

The system probably realized how useless it was and hurried to save its own face. t

【System 003: When it reaches a certain level, I will remind you. 】

This is equivalent to saying nothing. What does a certain degree mean? Doesn't it depend on the mood of the system?

Jiang Xiao no longer had any expectations for her own system and asked the question that concerned her most at the moment: I don’t have to stay with Zhou Qishen until I get enough traffic, right?

If she has to stay by Zhou Qishen's side all the time to survive, then won't her career, friends, good life, everything she has, become a mess?

[System 003: Of course not. This system is still very user-friendly, but...]

“Crack!”

The crisp sound of a door opening interrupted the system's unfinished words, which unfortunately stopped at the word "but".

Jiang Xiao was so angry that she almost collapsed on the spot. She was racking her brains to know what was said next, but no matter how she called the system, she got no response at all.

Jiang Xiao was full of resentment and looked up at the culprit.

Zhou Qishen was surrounded by a group of people and walked into the office. He was talking to a middle-aged man who looked like a leader. His expression was rather serious and indifferent. His outstanding appearance and temperament made him very eye-catching even among several young policemen in uniform.

The lighting in the office was very good. After a closer look, she discovered that there was a faint black mole above his left eyelid, which perfectly shortened the distance between his eyebrows and eyes, adding a bit of sharp charm and alluring him invisibly.

According to the description in the book, he is even more handsome than the male protagonist Zhou Wenting.

Now looking at it, the description is true, it is the fact, it looks like a show of skill by Nuwa.

It doesn't seem so unacceptable to just rely on this handsome face to gain traffic every day.

But when she thought that the period of bondage might be a lifetime, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat, feeling extremely aggrieved: "Wuwuwuhuhusband..."

But as soon as she said this, she realized that something was wrong and immediately shut her mouth, feeling annoyed at herself for speaking too hastily and calling Zhou Qishen "husband" in front of so many people.

Because of her previous experience in filming, she can quickly accept any role. She can't say that she is very familiar with it, but at least it won't make people too embarrassed. After calling him husband a few times, she has become completely familiar with the new name of husband and can say it naturally.

This has both advantages and disadvantages. Just like now, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig out a three-bedroom apartment with her toes on the spot.

Although Jiang Xiao's voice was very low, it was loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

husband?

Several policemen failed to control their facial expressions, their eyes went up and down, but they finally looked at their noses and pretended not to hear.

Zhou Qishen had gotten used to hearing this name along the way, and his expression didn't change much. He glanced at the middle-aged man as a warning, and then said to him, "It's really troublesome for you to come here so late. We'll leave first."

The deputy director glanced back and forth between the two of them calmly. He knew Zhou Qishen very well, and he also knew Jiang Xiao. She was the daughter of the chairman of the local Jiang Group and a popular artist. His wife was also her fan.

These two people, who have nothing in common, are actually secretly married?

But that’s not necessarily the case. Young couples these days are very open-minded, and many of them call their wives husbands in private. Maybe they’re just boyfriend and girlfriend.

But no matter what the relationship is, it is close.

The deputy director smiled kindly and said tentatively, "It's all a small matter. Mr. Zhou and... Madam, take care."

Zhou Qishen's eyes dimmed slightly, and he raised his lips slightly. Without saying anything, he turned his head and waved at Jiang Xiao: "Come here."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiao quickly put on her mask, ran over and stood behind Zhou Qishen, being incredibly well-behaved.

Zhou Qishen is tall and has long legs, so for every step he takes, Jiang Xiao needs to follow him with two steps.

Maybe because he disliked her slow pace, Zhou Qishen in front of him paused, reached out his big hand, and held her hand accurately, leading her to keep up with his pace, and soon they were out of the sight of the people watching them.

The unexpected contact made one's heart beat faster. Jiang Xiao rolled her eyes and her lips slightly curled up under the mask. Can't hold on any longer? Tsk tsk tsk, men can’t escape the beauty trap.

However, before she could show off for long, as soon as she walked out of the glass door of the police station, the man immediately let go of her hand without any lingering feelings or even waiting for her, and walked straight to the parking lot.

Only then did Jiang Xiao realize that he didn't want to have physical contact with her, he just disliked her walking too slowly.

Realizing that she had misjudged the idea, Jiang Xiao felt angry and ashamed, but there was nothing she could do to him. She could only sigh and resigned herself to chasing after him.

After finally catching up, what awaited her was still the man's cold face: "What's your home address? I'll take you home."

Jiang Xiao continued to play dumb: "My home? If I don't go back to your home...it's our home?"

"Our home?" Zhou Qishen met her eyes, with a half-smile on his face: "Then tell me where it is?"

Jiang Xiao twitched her eyes. How would she know where his home was?

If he hadn't suddenly appeared and interrupted her conversation with the system, the system wouldn't have disappeared before finishing the word "but", and she wouldn't have been afraid to leave his side.

It was all his fault, but now he was trying to tease her? Jiang Xiao was so angry and aggrieved that she had no place to vent.

"Didn't the doctor say that my memory is disordered? I can't remember a lot of things..." Jiang Xiao's mouth pursed unhappily, and she reached out to pull the corner of his clothes, swinging it back and forth: "Husband, you should be more tolerant of me. Why do you keep testing me in a weird way?"

At this time, instead of hesitating and unable to explain clearly, it is better to throw the question back to the other party, use moral blackmail to arouse sympathy, and quickly end the topic.

As expected, Zhou Qishen fell silent.

When he spoke again, his voice was slightly hoarse, with a hint of danger in it: "Are you sure you want to go home with me?"

He didn't know where she got the confidence and courage to actually propose to go home with a strange man. Whether it was a joke or pretending to have amnesia, there should be a limit.

Jiang Xiao pursed her lips upon hearing that and silently tightened her fingertips.

She was not a minor, so she naturally knew that going home with a strange man was like gambling, and the outcome depended on the other party's decision. But if she didn't go with him now, her life... Jiang Xiao had been so smart all her life, but one day she would be reduced to begging a man to take her home.

"You are my husband. If I don't go home with you, who else can I go home with? Don't you want me anymore?" Jiang Xiao tried to speak in a coquettish voice. Her big watery eyes were filled with pleading and grievance. She looked pitiful and very sympathetic.

She was gambling, gambling that he would be soft-hearted, gambling that he would not abandon her after she lost her memory.

The long street was dark and deserted in the middle of the night. The atmosphere was deadlocked for so long that Jiang Xiao began to doubt herself. It was over. He wouldn't be unwilling, right?

She was a beautiful woman with a good figure and good looks, and she took the initiative to propose to go home with him. As a normal man, why did he hesitate for so long? Shouldn't you agree immediately? Could it be that he is too knowledgeable and has too high standards, so he looks down on her? Or do you think she's playing tricks?

Although she was indeed playing tricks, she really had no bad intentions towards him.

Jiang Xiao couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts, and she silently increased the strength of her grip on the corner of his clothes.

Just when she wanted to give up, she finally heard a very low sigh: "Then go home."

Jiang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief as her heart finally settled down.

In order to prevent him from regretting and running away, Jiang Xiao took the initiative to climb onto his arm again and said with a friendly smile: "Hehe, I knew my husband couldn't bear to leave me, let's go home quickly."

Listening to the greasy sweet talk, Zhou Qishen curled the corner of his mouth, pretended to be calm and took out the key from his trouser pocket. Just as he was about to unlock the car, he found that his arm was firmly grasped by someone and he could not move.

Turning his head to glance at the culprit, he saw that the other party had not responded yet, so he had no choice but to struggle slightly. Jiang Xiao's arm shook, and he looked up at him blankly: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Qishen gently reminded: "Hand."

Jiang Xiao then realized that she had inadvertently blocked his car door from opening. Her face turned red and she immediately let go of his hand and took two steps to the side to create some distance between them.

After the car started for a while, Jiang Xiao looked at the constantly changing street scene, feeling bored, and started to make small talk: "Honey, why were you in the parking lot at that time?"

"I made an appointment with a friend to discuss something." Zhou Qishen tapped the steering wheel with his fingertips. While waiting for the red light, he kissed her lips, his eyes dark and obscure: "But you, shouldn't you be celebrating someone's birthday? Why are you there?"

Jiang Xiao was a little surprised. How did Zhou Qishen know that she was celebrating someone's birthday?

However, she soon remembered that in order to give Zhou Wenting a decent birthday, she mobilized almost all her connections and sent invitations to celebrities in North City, including those she knew and didn't know, enemies and no enemies at all.

As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. Who knows if it reached Zhou Qishen's ears? What's more, the building where the banquet was held belonged to him, how could he not know?

At this moment, Jiang Xiao suddenly remembered that when facing the doctor's questions, she was too nervous and said that she still remembered what happened before the car accident... Since she remembered, how could she forget that she had a boyfriend? How could she possibly mistake Zhou Qishen for her husband? Isn't this a contradiction?

No wonder Zhou Qishen emphasized the three words "birthday". He must have known about her relationship with Zhou Wenting and dug a trap for her to jump into.

No matter how stupid or dumb Jiang Xiao was, she finally realized that he should not have really believed her claim of memory disorder from the beginning, otherwise he would not have tested and teased her from time to time.

Yes, her lies had too many loopholes and were so clumsy that they could be seen through at a glance.

As long as Zhou Qishen is unwilling to cooperate with her in pretending to be husband and wife, the play will end immediately.

The current situation is: she is pretending, he knows she is pretending, she knows he knows she is pretending, but they don't say anything.

It's like pretending to be ignorant while knowing the truth, just to see who can't help but break the window paper first.

After clearing her thoughts, Jiang Xiao's psychological burden of lying was relieved a lot. Isn't it just acting? She just didn't believe that Zhou Qishen, a layman, could be better than her. She was a professional!

Anyway, it's impossible for her to confess first, so let's see who can act better.
