Xia Wan was locked in her former bedroom.
Since she left, no one has cleaned the room, which has developed a musty, uninhabited smell.
The floor-to-ceiling windows were reinforced, and a safety railing was added to the outside of the glass. She pushed it a few times and found it to be very sturdy.
Zheng Minghuai confiscated her bag, and she didn't have her phone on her. She had completely lost contact with Cui Ziqi.
'System, is there any way for me to get out?'
Without instructions from the main system, we cannot directly intervene in the world of the book.
'Last time, without instructions from the main system, you almost sent me out of the book's world.'
The system's voice suddenly weakened.
This...this was just an accident...
Xia Wan scoffed coldly, then retorted logically, "Do you think a simple 'accident' can erase your mistake? I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself; give me a cheat code and let me out."
The system is in a dilemma.
【I'd like to, but I don't have the authority. It needs approval from the main system before I can help you.】
'Then hurry up and apply! How long does the approval process take?'
[It should take about two hours. I'll apply now, host, please wait a moment.]
The system has lost sound.
Xia Wan suppressed her anxiety, walked around the room, and found a slightly cleaner place to sit down.
Waiting for feedback from the system.
...
Cui Ziqi was looking at his chat page with Xia Wan at this moment.
If she texts again or makes a phone call, he will reply.
But after waiting for a long time, nothing happened.
When Zuo Cheng entered the room, the coldness and oppressive atmosphere almost made him turn around and run away.
He steeled himself and walked up to Cui Ziqi, watching him idly turn off the screen again and again.
He guessed that the eldest brother had fallen ill intermittently again.
After hesitating for two seconds, he still spoke up despite the pressure.
"Brother Qi, Zheng Minghuai went to the Xia family. This morning, my sister-in-law went back to the Xia family in his car."
Cui Ziqi paused, her fingertips trembling, as she turned off the screen, but a blood-stained smile seemed to rise on her lips.
"Yeah?"
No wonder there's been no news for so long; it turns out she met with her old flame.
Unconsciously, images that were hard for Cui Ziqi to accept floated into his mind.
Xia Wan looked at Zheng Minghuai with her eyes, which were curved into two small crescent moons, and acted coquettishly.
Xia Wan squeezed between Zheng Minghuai and Xia Zhizhi, linking arms with Zheng Minghuai to assert her dominance;
Or she might forcefully kiss Zheng Minghuai...
Like a torrent crashing down from the sky, it struck his heart, making it hard to breathe.
Although he knew in his heart that the probability of these things happening was extremely small, he was still very unhappy when he thought that Xia Wan used to regard Zheng Minghuai as her only world!
"Zuo Cheng".
Zuo Cheng immediately straightened his back and said, "Brother Qi, you speak."
Zuo Cheng waited for his instructions, but he suddenly fell silent.
Zheng Minghuai's fierce voice came from the phone:
"In the end, Xia Wan is just playing hard to get. Once I deal with Cui Ziqi, she'll still come back to me and act all shameless, but I won't let Zhizhi get hurt."
This is Xia Wan's phone, which is being monitored.
The room fell into dead silence.
"But Mr. Zheng, if you're worried about Miss Zhizhi getting hurt, why are you keeping Xia Wan locked up in the Xia family home? She's with Cui Ziqi now; wouldn't it be better to deal with her together?"
'Zhizhi doesn't want to hurt her family; I can't let her be sad.'
...
The muffled sound drifted further and further away, indicating that the two had left the place where Xia Wan's phone was.
Cui Ziqi looked at the flashing red dot on the screen; that was Xia Wan's phone's location.
"The Xia family."
Cui Ziqi scoffed lightly, the smile in his eyes seeming to seep blood.
"Why do you think Xia Wan approached me?"
He asked Zuo Cheng, but Zuo Cheng lowered his head and dared not speak.
"Is it really to make Zheng Minghuai jealous?"
Cui Ziqi was still asking questions, but her voice sounded more like she was talking to herself.
Recalling Xia Wan's actions over the past few days, Zuo Cheng couldn't help but speak up: "It doesn't seem like it. My sister-in-law hasn't wanted to talk to Zheng Minghuai lately..."
Cui Ziqi raised her eyes and stared at Zuo Cheng's face, her expression cold, her eyes blazing with anger.
"Who is the sister-in-law?"
Zuo Cheng quickly corrected himself, "Not sister-in-law, but Miss Xia."
Zuo Cheng thought to himself, "Brother Qi, if you're jealous, fine, but don't drag me into it!"
"Brother Qi, Miss Xia seems to be locked up. Should we go and bring her out?"
"She wants to go back herself, what's it to me?"
Cui Ziqi stood up, his clothes hanging down, the sharp light pushed aside by his tall figure. "If you want to save someone, go save them yourself."
After saying that, he strode out of the room.
Zuo Cheng was completely baffled. Should he save him or not?
——
Xia Wan waited for about an hour before the system's application was approved.
[The main system has approved it. I can give the host a cheat code. The host can enjoy a half-hour invisibility package, which is more than enough to leave the villa.]
Xia Wan's eyes lit up.
There's such an experience!
'Then how do I get out of this room?'
[Host, rest assured, since the system has promised to help you escape the Xia family, it will naturally remove all obstacles for you!]
The system had just finished speaking.
A click came from the bedroom doorknob as the lock was opened.
Xia Wan walked over hesitantly, gently turned the doorknob, and the door opened.
She couldn't help but praise the system in her heart; it had finally done something that satisfied her.
'Does that mean I'm invisible right now?'
Yes, host, you should leave now.
Xia Wan straightened her back, went straight out the door, and openly strolled around the Xia family home.
