Chapter 190 Yan Tingnan is a rotten cucumber!

"system……"

She cried out weakly in her mind, her voice trembling with sobs.

"I quit, I really can't do it anymore..."

[Host, please calm down. The mission has not failed yet; there is still room for correction...]

The system attempted to calm the situation.

"Revise? What a load of rubbish!"

Mu Chuji screamed inwardly, her emotions completely collapsing.

"Listen to what's going on inside! He's doing all sorts of things with other women!"

"Yan Tingnan is a rotten cucumber! He's impure in body and mind!"

"Even if I actually manage to win him back according to the plot, will it still be a sweet romance novel?"

She imagined the scene.

After overcoming numerous hardships, Yan Tingnan was finally attracted to her, broke free from Su Ruan, and got together with her.

But then what?

His heart was filled with Su Ruan, and his body had been completely taken advantage of by her.

So what did she become?

Picking up what others have left over?

How can this be considered a destined sweet romance novel?

This is clearly a tragic story!

Or perhaps it's the kind of angst-filled female lead who plays the victim, watching the male lead reminisce about his white moonlight every day—a truly heart-wrenching story!

"This is fucking angst, even more angsty than digging for wild vegetables!"

"What's the point of me being the female lead? Huh?!"

"System, let me tell you, even if we succeed in the end, it will be a terrible ending where he suffers emotionally, I suffer physically, and the readers curse us out!"

The more she thought about it, the more desperate and disgusted she felt.

Before she transmigrated into the book, she was just an ordinary reader who came for the sweet and satisfying romance novel, not to experience NTR and the "wife-chasing hell"!

The cold, unresponsive system voice remained completely still.

[Host, please calm down. The core objective is to bring the plot back to the main storyline and ensure that the male lead and his destined female lead form a connection...]

"Back to the main storyline?"

Mu Chuji was so angry she almost laughed; her mind was teetering on the brink of collapse.

"Given the current situation, even if you struck Yan Tingnan with lightning and made him lose his memory, and then forcibly gave him to me, it still wouldn't be the original sweet romance!"

"It's a substitute novel, a secondhand sweetness that even a wife-chasing crematorium can't burn back to its original flavor!"

"What kind of hellish difficulty mission is this? I'm not doing it!"

"Let whoever wants this male lead have him! I'm not putting up with this anymore!"

The more she thought about it, the more desperate she became.

Before transmigrating into the book, she was just an ordinary office worker, and the most shocking thing about reading novels was that the male lead was impure.

Now look what's happened! He died from overwork while staying up all night reading novels, and was bound to this broken system, directly transmigrating into a reserve candidate to take over someone else's mess?

They said that completing the mission would allow you to revive.

And what was the result?

The male lead belongs to someone else, and the plot is broken.

She was like a mediocre, third-rate actress, with an outdated script, making a fool of herself in front of Yan Tingnan and Su Ruan.

[Warning: The host is slacking off, and the backlash is intensifying.]

[The mission must be completed, otherwise you will be permanently stranded in this world and suffer the penalty of energy depletion. The host has no right to unilaterally terminate the mission.]

Mu Chuji suddenly clutched her chest, her vision blurring.

Her internal organs felt as if they were being repeatedly kneaded, causing her so much pain that she almost curled up in agony.

Cold sweat instantly soaked through her thin business attire, and stray hairs clung awkwardly to her skin; she was so cold that her teeth were chattering.

She couldn't even lift a single finger.

He could only slump down by the door like a lump of mud.

The commotion inside the door seemed to intensify.

She collapsed to the ground, her forehead pressed against the cold door panel, like a rag doll whose soul had been ripped out.

It's over.

It's all over.

Her mission, her journey home.

Mu Chuji felt like vomiting blood.

She collapsed to the ground, like a fish whose bones had been removed.

Three hours.

Three whole hours!

The battle inside never stopped!

Is Yan Tingnan an animal?!

Is Suzhou Software made of iron?!

Aren't they tired?!

Didn't the original novel describe Yan Tingnan as aloof and abstinent, very restrained in that area?

Mu Chuji stared blankly at the ceiling, inwardly ranting and raving.

Is this what you call restraint?!

Su Ruan, that brat, is eating really well.

Yan Tingnan has that dog-like waist.

That stamina endurance.

That subwoofer...

She got off too easy!

Before she transmigrated into the book, she stayed up all night to catch up on the latest chapters, experiencing a mental climax from the abstract descriptions in the novel, thinking the author was exaggerating.

Now I'm hearing it with my own ears...

Depend on!

The original author went easy on me; is this something you can listen to for free?!

How could she have believed the system's lies, thinking that she could easily win over such a rare gem with the guide?

And what was the result?

She doesn't care about the details of how couples fight in bed and make up before they get out of bed!

She, on the other hand, was forced to listen to the live broadcast through a broken door, and had to endure unbearable pain.

[Host, please concentrate. The mission...]

"Mission my ass!"

Mu Chuji roared inwardly.

"Right now, all I want is to buy insurance for my ears and apply for workers' compensation for my emotional distress!"

The commotion inside the door seemed to finally subside.

Mu Chuji blinked numbly.

Is it coming out?

Even if she were to die, even if she were to jump off this top floor, she couldn't bear this level of embarrassment!

Her head lolled to the side, and she completely lost consciousness.

If you get dizzy fast enough, embarrassment won't catch up!

...

The clock struck half past midnight, and all was silent.

The desk was a complete mess, as if a battle had just taken place.

The night breeze sneaked in, dispelling the ambiguity in the room.

When it ended, Su Ruan almost melted in his arms.

Yan Tingnan leaned back in the wide chair, pulled her onto his lap, and wrapped her in his suit jacket.

He patted her back intermittently.

Satisfied, and at peace.

The headache and pulling sensation that had plagued him for so long had long since vanished.

"I will deal with Mu Chuji tomorrow."

His voice was still hoarse from the aftermath.

"Make her disappear from your sight forever."

Su Ruan lazily opened her eyes.

"No, please."

She poked his chest with her fingertip.

"It would be so much better to have it right under our noses."

Yan Tingnan raised an eyebrow.

"Um?"

"Since she came in league with the old man, the root of the problem lies with the big Buddha statue in your family."

"If you send her away today, he can put her in your bed tomorrow."

Su Ruan's analysis was lazy but logically clear.

"Let's put it out in the open and see what other tricks she can pull."

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will achieve lasting results once and for all."

"She wanted to perform, and the audience consisted of just the two of us."

Yan Tingnan's eyes flickered slightly as he looked down at the person in his arms.

His softie truly understands him.

This idea was the same as his consideration when he kept Mu Chuji.

They often share the same ideas.

This spiritual resonance and tacit understanding was far more thrilling to him than mere physical attraction.

The tension that had been constantly building in his heart due to resisting the pull of the plot suddenly eased a little.

Seeing his silence, Su Ruan assumed he disagreed, so she sat up and spoke earnestly.

"Moreover, I cleared up the misunderstanding tonight and learned about your feelings and struggles."

“Yan Tingnan, I’m not the kind of person who’s always jealous and makes a scene at the slightest provocation.”

"A mere Mu Chuji is not worthy of causing us to lose our composure."

Yan Tingnan's Adam's apple bobbed, and the soft spot in his heart was touched.

He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her slightly swollen lips again.

"I'll listen to you."

His voice betrayed an undisguised indulgence and pride.

The floor lamp finally met its end and went out with a snap.

In the darkness, he picked her up.

"go home?"

"Return."

Su Ruan responded lazily and was helped to get dressed. Her legs were a little weak during the process, but he supported her steadily.

After they finished getting ready, the two opened the door to the lounge.

The outer office room was lit with cold, white light.

A figure was curled up on the carpet by the door, unconscious.

It is Mu Chuji.

Her face was ashen, her lips bloodless, and her hair was soaked with cold sweat and stuck to her skin.

Su Ruan paused, raising an eyebrow.

"This person's business skills are not very good. They don't even know to move to another place to lie down when their health bar is empty."

Yan Tingnan didn't even bother to give him a glance.

He put his arm around Su Ruan's waist and started to walk around her.

"etc."

Su Ruan grabbed him.

She took out her phone, deftly dialed the emergency number, and reported the address and situation.

"Call an ambulance."

Su Ruan put away her phone, her tone indifferent.

"Although she's an eyesore, I can't really let her die in front of your office."

Yan Tingnan glanced at her, a faint smile appearing in his eyes.

He may seem gentle, but he's actually quite stubborn and doesn't have a soft heart. However, he always maintains a bottom line in his actions.

Yan Tingnan embraced her and left without looking to the side.

The corridor lights elongated the shadows of the two people walking hand in hand.

Behind him, Mu Chuji dared to secretly open a crack in her eye.

"System, I want to go home..."

“Going back to the real world, even if I have to continue being a corporate slave, is better than being a joke here.”

The cold system voice remained silent for a moment.

[Mission complete. You may return now. Please cheer up, host.]

At this current plot point, Yan Tingnan is consolidating his power within the Yan family. This is a crucial period, during which they are most vigilant and also most vulnerable to being sown discord.

[It is recommended that the host seek Yan Hongyi's assistance to create the illusion that Su Ruan is colluding with external forces, and to take advantage of Yan Tingnan's suspicious nature to plant seeds of doubt in his mind.]

Mu Chuji was taken aback.

Sowing discord?

What made Yan Tingnan suspect that Su Ruan had betrayed him?
