After taking a bath, Yan Qiao was still thinking about catching a wild boar to cook in a hot pot.

She threw fresh fish into the pit, setting a simple trap, hoping to catch some prey.

Perhaps aided by the typhoon, some unsuspecting prey did indeed wander in.

Now that a freshwater lake has been discovered, Ruan Cha thought she should tell Yan Yaoyao.

Unexpectedly, before she could even give directions, Yan Yaoyao arrogantly said, "I don't need it."

She's living a life of luxury with Chen Zhou now, able to go straight to the base camp to shower, and has no shortage of food or drink. She doesn't need to know where the freshwater lake is.

"Even if it's a freshwater lake, how do you know the water is drinkable? If something goes wrong, will you take responsibility?"

Ruan Cha came over out of kindness, but was treated like this by Yan Yaoyao, which almost made her eyes red with anger.

Now that Yan Yaoyao has Chen Zhou backing her up, she's becoming increasingly disregardful of others and speaks with even more recklessness.

Ruan Cha gritted her teeth, "If you don't want to know, that's fine. I just came to ask."

After saying that, he stormed off.

Yan Qiao saw that she was so angry she looked like a pufferfish, and chuckled as she patted her head.

"Didn't I tell you not to go? They don't care."

Ruan Cha pouted, thinking of Yan Yaoyao's attitude.

She really doesn't need it.

However, she wanted to see how long Yan Yaoyao and Shen Zhou could keep up the act and whether they would never have a mishap.

Ruan Cha bit her lip, then realized that her idea was a bit bad.

Before long, Chen Zhou emerged from the woods and stopped right next to Yan Qiao.

He muted his microphone. "I want to talk to you."

Yan Qiao looked up at him, also turned off her microphone, and followed him to the side.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say, I'm busy."

Looking at her, Shen Zhou realized that Yan Qiao was indeed beautiful. In fact, he had hardly seen a more beautiful woman in Yancheng's social circles.

But for him, this face is a shackle.

The family name was used to bind him, a shackle that made it hard for him to breathe.

"You should know very well why I've come this time: our engagement must be dissolved."

He had prepared a long speech to make Yan Qiao give up, thinking that Yan Qiao would definitely pester him relentlessly.

To everyone's surprise, she simply said, "Oh, I see. Is there anything else you want to say?"

Chen Zhou was stunned for a moment, then swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, feeling extremely frustrated.

"Didn't you hear me clearly? I said I want to break off the engagement!"

Yan Qiao rubbed her ears impatiently. "I heard you clearly. Your true love is Yan Yaoyao. You want to end our marriage. I understand."

"that's all?"

Yan Qiao lifted her eyelids to look at him, her clear eyes filled with confusion.

"Otherwise what? What do you want me to do? Make a fool of myself by clinging on and begging? Chen Zhou, this marriage isn't something I'm forcing on you; it's for both of our families. It's a shackle for you, and it's the same for me. But I'm not as capable as you, so this is something only you can do, because even if I bring it up, my family won't listen to me."

Unless she leaves the family.

But Yan Qiao just wanted to live a quiet life and be a lazy rich kid.

As long as she behaves herself, her family will never go hungry or thirsty.

These words sounded so harsh to Shen Zhou.

He originally thought he should breathe a sigh of relief, because it meant he could easily handle the marriage with Yan Qiao.

But instead of feeling better, he felt increasingly depressed.

Yan Qiao's attitude made him feel very uncomfortable.

"If you really want to break off the engagement, why did you participate in this show? Didn't you come on this show because of Yao Yao?"

Yan Qiao rolled her eyes. Her original body was randomly controlled by the Time and Space Bureau's system, and she had no control over it at all.

She didn't understand why she had to come here to suffer.

"Say whatever you want, whatever makes you happy."

She was too lazy to argue any further.

Chen Zhou wouldn't let her off the hook, continuing, "You don't need to struggle anymore. The annulment of the engagement is a done deal and won't be changed. And the champion of this show must be Yao Yao!"

Yan Qiao sighed helplessly. How could she make Shen Zhou understand that she was truly not interested in him?

"I understand. You're so amazing. You managed to get Yan Yaoyao a spot through connections. The championship is hers, okay? Can I leave now?"

Yan Qiao turned and left, and Chen Zhou followed.

"That's what I hate most about you—you have absolutely no compassion! You already have so much; what's wrong with giving this resource to Yao Yao?"

Yan Qiao: "...Chen Zhou, are you sick? You're so prone to daydreaming. If you're sick, go get treatment. Don't go crazy here! If you say another word, I'll tell the whole world that Yan Yaoyao is a homewrecker who interfered in our marriage! Chen Zhou, let me kindly remind you, you should be begging me to break off the engagement now. After all, with Grandpa Chen around, as long as I don't want to, you'll have to get married even if I force you!"

The sound of sinking boat abruptly stopped, his face turning ashen.

He was genuinely afraid that Yan Qiao would go crazy and hurt Yan Yaoyao.

At this moment, Yan Yaoyao walked over and timidly asked, "What are you talking about?"

Yan Qiao ignored her and walked away on her own.

Yan Yaoyao's eyes reddened instantly. "I knew Yan Qiao would be angry; she doesn't even want to talk to me anymore."

Shen Zhou hurriedly said, "It's none of your business; it's a problem between her and me."

"What's wrong between you and her?" Yan Yaoyao asked, puzzled.

He couldn't tell her what had happened, so he just told her not to overthink it.

But the viewers in the live stream were furious, especially their shippers.

[Doesn't Yan Qiao have any manners? She ignores Yao Yao when she tries to talk to her.]

[They've gotten arrogant. They've gained so many followers these past few days; they're almost ready to whitewash their image.]

[She's naturally fair-skinned and doesn't need washing, unlike your Yan Yaoyao! Like idol, she has no manners.]

[Haha, Yan Qiao can whitewash this? I'll eat shit while standing on my head! You've all forgotten that she was the mistress of her own company's CEO? The internet remembers!]

[She's addicted to being a mistress, isn't she? She even wants to interfere in Shen Shao and Yao Yao's relationship.]

No matter how nasty the insults were in the live stream, Yan Qiao couldn't see them.

Looking at the sky, Yan Qiao felt that a typhoon was coming.

Quietly, is the world about to change?

Yan Qiao said, "At the earliest tonight, at the latest tomorrow."

Ruan Cha whispered in her ear, "What does Chen Zhou want with you?"

Yan Qiao smiled faintly, "It's nothing."

Ruan Cha was skeptical. Why did you ask me to come over and talk for so long if there was nothing wrong with that?

"Qiaoqiao, you and Shen Zhou really knew each other before, right?"

Yan Qiao hummed in agreement, "I know them, but we're not close."

Ruan Cha felt that Yan Qiao was somewhat innocent. Last time, she also said that she knew Chen Zhou, but she didn't say that she was very familiar with him.

Because she took the initiative to strike up a conversation, and Chen Zhou ignored her, Yan Qiao was heavily criticized by netizens.

"You should stay away from him."

Given the fighting spirit of Shen Zhou and Yan Yaoyao's CP fans, any woman who gets involved with Shen Zhou will be severely criticized.

Yan Qiao chuckled and pinched her little cheek.

"I understand. I wasn't that close to him anyway."
