"What, didn't you want it?"

He nodded blankly.

"Take it if you want it," Luo Chen said nonchalantly.

"This car is so beautiful, and you just gave it to me like this?" Luo Luo asked, puzzled.

Not only is it a limited edition worldwide, but it's also futuristic and cool, and everyone who sees it loves it. Luo Chen actually gave it to her.

Is it real or not?

"I have too many cars, I can hardly drive them all. Giving them to you is just to help ease my burden."

It's like Versailles, but I just can't refuse.

Luo Luo shook her head and returned the car keys to Luo Chen.

"What's wrong?" Luo Chen asked, puzzled.

"Never mind, it's your car anyway. I can just use it whenever I want. There's no need to give it to me," Luo Luo said.

Luo Chen found it amusing.

[This girl clearly liked it so much, yet she returned it. Since you're my sister, there's nothing wrong with giving it to you. After I'm gone, you'll inherit it all anyway, so it's better to take it now.]

[The host successfully dissed the opponent; charm value increased by one.]

Luo Chen tossed the key to Luo Luo, then turned and left, saying, "Fine, you can use it to open the door. As long as you don't hit me again, I'll be satisfied."

Luo Chen walked very fast, not giving Luo Luo a chance to reply at all.

Luo Luo watched the departing figure, clutching the car keys Luo Chen had given her tightly in her hand.

"Don't worry, brother. I will protect you. No one can hurt you," Luo Luo murmured softly.

Looking at the car keys, Luo Luo couldn't help but smile.

...

"A hit-and-run incident occurred yesterday on Dongjie Street in Dongcheng District. The Supervision Bureau evacuated the crowd in advance, but several people were still injured. Fortunately, no one died. One of the perpetrators was carrying a firearm. Some people heard gunshots at the time of the incident, but no one was injured. The perpetrator resisted and was shot dead. The remaining three perpetrators have all been apprehended and are currently under investigation. We will continue to report on the remaining details later..."

While eating breakfast, the morning news was playing on the TV. The four members of Luo Chen's family ate and listened at the same time. Chen Fen and Luo Chengfang didn't pay much attention, only sighing that Ningcheng seemed to be getting unsettled lately, as they had never heard of such things before.

Not long ago, Fang Xue's father, Fang Wu, was attacked by thugs. Fortunately, a young man descended from the sky and saved Fang Wu, allowing him to escape danger.

Not long after, the thugs started running around again, each carrying a black bag full of money.

Chen Fen then nagged Luo Chen and Luo Luo a few more times, telling them to be careful and to contact their families or call the supervisory bureau immediately if anything seemed amiss.

Luo Chen was surprised that Fang Wu had been attacked, something that hadn't happened in the main story before.

"System, what exactly happened? How could Fang Wu be attacked, and could the person who saved him be Ye Lin?"

Luo Chen made this guess because he realized that Ye Lin had not deviated from the plot and appeared in the Fang Group, and even became the Minister of Security.

[The host is clever. Due to an accident at the beginning of the story, the protagonist doesn't meet the female lead, causing the plot to deviate.]

[Regarding the host's question about whether or not the rescue was initiated, the answer is both yes and no.]

"What do you mean?" Luo Chen was confused.

[The protagonist's encounter with the female lead is inevitable; no matter how far the beginning deviates from the story's plot, they will ultimately not miss each other.]

Therefore, in order to create an encounter, the protagonist sets a trap to save the female lead's father, thus bringing the story back to its original course.

"What? So you mean Ye Lin planned all of this? I had no idea Ye Lin had any reason to do this."

The book doesn't go into detail about what important things happened before Ye Lin and Fang Xue met, not even a single word about it. Ye Lin even had to set up an attack on Fang Wu, all for the purpose of getting close to Fang Xue.

Is the main reason that the protagonist must meet the female lead for it to be reasonable, or is it just that this way it seems more appropriate?

[Host, have you forgotten that the protagonist once lived in an orphanage?]

"I remember. I lived there for a few years, then my enemies came and destroyed the orphanage. The protagonist escaped, and that's how the Dragon King came to be."

But what does it matter?

[The protagonist met the female lead while they were in the orphanage.]

Damn it!

Upon hearing the system's reply, Luo Chen almost cursed. It turned out that they had known each other for a long time. Could this be considered childhood sweethearts?

However, why doesn't the author write about it? When he went through the plot last time, he still couldn't understand why Ye Lin was so obsessed with Fang Xue, even to the point of being crazy. He had quite a few women, but Fang Xue was still very special to him.

So, there was such a thing.

"So, what exactly happened back then?" Luo Chen asked curiously.

[On the orphanage's anniversary, Fang Wu took the young female protagonist to visit and donated money. The protagonist, sitting in the corner, couldn't forget her at first sight and couldn't stop thinking about her. The two events weren't actually related; the protagonist had already decided at that moment that this girl was his woman, which is something not mentioned in the main text.]

"..."

I'm fucking...

Upon learning the truth, Luo Chen, who was initially curious and gossipy, thought there would be some sweet childhood sweetheart romance, but he never expected that this lecher had been planning this since childhood.

Did you ask for their opinion?

What a ridiculous plot! It would have been better if I hadn't known. After finding out, Luo Chen didn't even bother to eat breakfast.

Yeah, I have no appetite, I feel disgusted.

Thinking back to his childhood, he was never like this. I was too naive; all I knew was how to play. Look at the main character, he's already got his future wife sorted out, though not just one.

But this is still a small goal.

It's much simpler than Mr. Wang's 100 million.

Luo Chen put the bowl on the table, said goodbye, and went to work. Luo Luo frowned slightly when she saw Luo Chen leave the house.

Just now, the news on TV reported that the sports car that was damaged in the crash belonged to Luo Chen. Thinking about Luo Chen's thoughts yesterday and today's news, I realized that...

Luo Luo suspected that Luo Chen might be hiding something.

Rockwell Group.

Along the way, there were all sorts of greetings: "Good morning, Mr. Luo. Have you had breakfast yet?"

Luo Chen was already used to it, nodding occasionally as a greeting. There were quite a few people in the Luo Group, so it would be difficult to greet everyone with a nod or a word.

Then he won't need to go to work anymore.

We arrived at the conference room.

The secretary opened the door for me, and as I walked inside, all the ministers and managers were already in place.

Zhao Meng'er, who had been sitting quietly looking at the project proposal, smiled gently at Luo Chen when he arrived.

Others are used to it; they've seen these loving couples being shown affection more than once or twice.

Although Luo Chen always responded with a dark expression and indifference.

[I felt nauseous this morning, but seeing Meng'er's smile suddenly made me feel much better.]

Hearing this heartfelt sentiment, Zhao Meng'er smiled even more gently.

Luo Chen's face darkened. He sat down in his chair and glared coldly at Zhao Meng'er: "Watch your manners. This is a meeting. Can't you be serious?"

"Don't you like watching it?" Zhao Meng'er asked sweetly.

Luo Chen's body trembled.

This woman almost ruined his image, but she's really beautiful.
