Chapter 318: Fake becomes real?



Smart tracking bracelet?

This is actually the key prop corresponding to this character?

This was the first time that Wen Nan heard a prompt about key props in the system.

As long as he takes the bracelet, he will get the first answer sheet in the first main mission.

Even if the exploration levels of other characters fail to meet the requirements, he only needs to bind this key item before the countdown for the main mission ends, and open his settlement point within 10 seconds to complete the mission.

In other words, this bracelet can help him complete the first main task.

Thinking of this, Wen Nan raised his hand and was about to take the bracelet when his cell phone rang.

Ruhuan withdrew her hand, nodded her chin, and signaled the other party to answer the phone first.

Wen Nan took out his cell phone and glanced at the screen. A caller ID appeared clearly on it - [Chenchen (Wife - Limited Edition)].

Seeing the caller ID, Wen Nan hung up the phone in panic.

However, a few seconds later, a series of text messages popped up -

【Chenchen (Wife-Limited Edition): Hang up on me?】

【Chenchen (Wife-Limited Edition): Where are you? 】

[Chenchen (Wife-Limited Edition): Husband, you are not going to cheat on me right after we got married, are you? ]

The phone was not set to hide messages, and three messages popped up one after another. Ru Huan, who was standing in front of Wen Nan, could see them all clearly.

Wen Nan looked up at the other person and saw that the other person's smiling eyes were now filled with gloom.

"Mr. Ye, you are already married?"

Ru Huan stopped calling Wen Nan "baby" and went back to the name she used at the beginning. The smile on her face completely disappeared, and the original ambiguity in her voice also completely dissipated, becoming cold and solemn. "It seems that what Mr. Mi said is right. Mr. Ye really has a wide range of interests. He has a wife at home, but he still agreed to come here with me and let me bite you?"

9527: [Please note that the exploration level of the key item "Young Stepmother with a Strong Desire for Control" has been reduced to 69%.]

As the system prompt sounded in her mind, Ru Huan put the key props in her hand back into the bag and tied the bag tightly.

"I misjudged you," Ru Huan said, and began to straighten her clothes. "Fortunately, we haven't reached the last step yet. Mr. Ye, don't take what happened just now and what I said to heart. Let's walk out of this door and pretend nothing happened, okay?"

9527: [Please note that the exploration degree of the key item "Young Stepmother with a Strong Desire for Control" has been reduced to 61%.]

Seeing the precipitous drop in the exploration rate, Wen Nan felt extremely helpless.

The duck that was at the mouth flew away again.

But since the other party had taken back the key item, it was impossible for Wen Nan to catch up and snatch it back -

This first main quest was just the beginning. The theme of this copy was "living together". Even if he snatched the items now and opened the refresh point in this way, it would not be possible for him and Ru Huan to complete the next cohabitation quest happily.

While she was thinking, Ru Huan had already put on her coat and walked towards the door.

With a click, the door was unlocked. Ruhuan's hand just pressed on the doorknob when Wen Nan spoke from behind her, "If I say that my marriage with Chenchen is just an agreement forced upon us, and that there is no love or marital relationship between us, and that it is just a short-term transaction, and that when the transaction is over, we will return to our respective single lives, do you believe me, Sister Ruhuan?"

Such words were funny to Wen Nan himself, not to mention Ru Huan.

This is simply a classic quote from a scumbag in a soap opera, and it has been said to death by countless married men who have tried to cheat.

Perhaps the only difference is that Wen Nan is telling the truth.

But facts do not mean they are more credible. On the way to work in the morning, when Wen Nan told Zhang Dawei the facts, Zhang Dawei directly labeled Wen Nan as "humorous", thinking that Wen Nan lied without even thinking, which is a clear example.

However, even though Wen Nan knew that these words were old-fashioned and unconvincing, he still decided to say them.

He thought, maybe, Ru Huan and Zhang Dawei were different. Maybe, for her, sincerity was the ultimate skill.

However, after listening to Wen Nan's words, Ru Huan was silent for a moment, and then snorted with sarcasm, "Mr. Ye, are you kidding me like an innocent female student? You should save these words for Xiao Fei or Wen Wen."

After saying that, she turned the door handle, pushed the door open and left without looking back.

Wen Nan stood still, looking at the direction where the other person's back disappeared. After a moment, the corners of his lips slowly curled up.

Ru Huan's attitude was cold and she left decisively without any hesitation. For a moment, Wen Nan even suspected that playing the "sincerity" card was a huge mistake.

However, at the moment the door was closed, a system prompt sounded in Wen Nan's mind -

9527: [Congratulations to the contestant, the exploration degree of the key item "Young Stepmother with a Strong Desire for Control" has been increased to 76%. ]

Although it was impossible to return to the previous level of over 90%, just one sentence of explanation allowed Ru Huan's key item exploration level to rise by 15 points. Obviously, this hypocritical woman's seemingly cold and hard attitude was fake.

She was shaken, and her heart was moved by Wen Nan's words.

That's enough.

Wen Nan put on his coat with satisfaction, took out his phone again, and saw the last message sent by Zhuang Yichen -

[Chenchen (Wife-Limited Edition): I'm in the garage downstairs of your company. I'll wait for you for 5 minutes at most.]

After leaving the storage room, Ru Huan took the elevator to the underground garage as quickly as possible, rushed back to her car, and then slumped into the seat like a deflated ball, buried her head in the steering wheel, and let out a long breath.

So stupid.

Why would you do such a stupid thing as seducing someone without even figuring out their background and identity?

But before coming to the branch, she read the other party's resume many times. It clearly said that he was unmarried. Why did he have a wife so soon? Could it really be... an agreed marriage? In the past, Ru Huan would not believe such lies to deceive young girls, and would be furious because the other party insulted her intelligence.

However, when it came to this man named Ye Jiu, she couldn't get angry at all. She even uncontrollably wanted to choose to believe him.

How could this man be so charming?

She thought she was just attracted by his beauty, but could it be that she actually fell in love at first sight? Sitting in the car blankly, thinking over and over for a long time, Ru Huan couldn't figure it out. She started the car and was about to go home. At this time, there was a "ding dong" sound, and the elevator door in front opened, and the man who made her upset walked out.

After receiving the message from Zhuang Yichen, Wen Nan did not leave immediately. Instead, he locked the door of the storage room again, then picked up the work that Ru Huan had abandoned halfway and started doing it himself.

After finishing his work in a hurry, Wen Nan quickly packed up and took the elevator to the underground garage.

In the elevator, I opened the chat box and saw several new messages from Zhuang Yichen.

[Chenchen (Wife-Limited Edition): It’s been 10 minutes. ]

【Chenchen (Wife-Limited Edition): 12 minutes.】

[Chenchen (Wife-Limited Edition): I’ll give you the last 5 minutes.]

[Chenchen (Wife-Limited Edition): The last 5 minutes, no more. ]

The last message was sent 10 minutes ago.

When Wen Nan saw the first message, he originally replied with "Wait a moment, I have something urgent to deal with first", but at that time he was in the storage room, the signal was blocked, and the message failed to send.

When he got into the elevator, he saw that the person on the other end had not received his reply at all. He sent several messages in succession. The last one said to wait for him for 5 minutes, but all in all, he had been waiting for more than half an hour.

When Wen Nan rushed to the underground garage, he saw the familiar flagship A8L at a glance.

Wen Nan walked quickly to the car and wanted to open the door, but found that the car was locked. He had no choice but to knock on the window.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Zhuang Yichen, who was sitting in the back seat, raised his eyes and glared at Wen Nan angrily through the car window, but made no intention of opening the door or the window.

Wen Nan looked towards the driver's seat helplessly and called out "Xiaojun" softly, and the window of the back seat was quickly lowered.

Zhuang Yichen glanced at Yu Shujun in the driver's seat with some complaints, then looked at Wen Nan outside the window again, "Oh, you still remember to come here? You didn't answer the phone or reply to the text messages? I thought you regretted it and planned to divorce me."

Wen Nan knew he was in the wrong, so he smiled and said, "Sorry, I had something urgent to do just now, so it's not convenient for me to answer the phone."

Zhuang Yichen glanced at him, "What's the emergency? Did you sneak into the office?"

Wen Nan said calmly, "It's work. My boss made a request and I was forced to work overtime."

"A salary of just over 10,000 yuan a month, and a 996 work schedule, what a beast of burden?" Zhuang Yichen snorted, "Isn't it a female leader? You're stuck in her gentle embrace and can't get out?"

Wen Nan did not defend himself any more. He just put his hands in his pockets, bent down, and leveled his eyes with the woman in the car. Then he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Chenchen, when we got the marriage certificate, we signed an agreement not to interfere with each other's private lives. You are acting like this now. Are you regretting it and want to... make it real with me?"

After the words fell, Zhuang Yichen was stunned, her mouth opened into a round circle, and after a moment, like a kitten whose tail was stepped on, she began to get anxious, "Humph, man, you think too much, I am Miss Zhuang San, I have no interest in marriage, and if I say an agreement, it is an agreement, I will never take it seriously.

"Why am I angry now, Ye Jiu, don't you reflect on your own problems?

"It's always been other men who wait for me. When have I, Zhuang Yichen, ever waited for anyone else for even a minute in my life?

"But I just waited for you for 36 minutes and 25 seconds! If Xiaojun hadn't kept persuading me to wait a little longer, I wouldn't have had so much free time to waste here with you."

Wen Nan complained in his heart, if it’s not the case, why are you so anxious?

But seeing the other party's jumping look, he finally said nothing. He just looked at Zhuang Yichen with a probing look and a smile, as if he was looking at some strange new species of female animal.

Zhuang Yichen felt uncomfortable being looked at by the other party. Her face was puffed up with anger. She continued to complain: "I originally made an appointment for hydrating injections tonight, but I missed the time because I waited for you for more than two hours. It's very difficult to make an appointment with them. No matter how much money you spend, you can't jump the queue. The next time I want to make an appointment, it will be three months later. By then, my face will not be white or tender! You'd better think about how to compensate me for such a big loss!"

After listening to the other party's complaints, Wen Nan was stunned for a moment, and quickly caught a key word, "More than two hours? Didn't you come here half an hour ago?"

Thinking of this, Wen Nan unconsciously looked at Yu Shujun who was in the driver's seat.

No wonder Xiaojun didn’t show up just now. He didn’t show up in places where there was no one. After making a fuss for such a long time, was he called away and became an assistant again?

Zhuang Yichen felt guilty when asked by Wen Nan, and she evasively said, "It was more than half an hour, you heard it wrong." Then she put on an impatient look again and turned the tables, "You are so young, how come your hearing is so poor?"

Fearing that Wen Nan would continue to hold on for another two hours, Zhuang Yichen hurriedly reminded him, "We are clearly talking about compensation, don't change the subject and don't deny it!"

After saying that, Zhuang Yichen deliberately leaned against the car door and raised one side of his face to the window.

In this position, Wen Nan only needed to lean forward slightly to kiss her.

Looking at the face so close at hand, which was as tender as a peeled egg even though it had not been injected with a hydrating injection, Wen Nan was stunned for a moment. As he hesitated, a system prompt sounded in his mind -

9527: [Please note that the exploration degree of the key item "Young Stepmother with a Strong Desire for Control" has been reduced to 71%. ]

Why did Ruhuan's exploration level suddenly drop by 5%?

She is also in this parking lot? Thinking of this, Wen Nan subconsciously stood up and looked around, looking for the other party's hiding place.

Seeing Wen Nan's actions, Zhuang Yichen originally had a glimmer of expectation in his heart, but now that hope was extinguished.

Her eyes dimmed, and she said softly, "If you don't want to, forget it."

Wen Nan retracted his gaze and looked at the woman leaning against the car window again. His heart moved slightly. For a moment, he wanted to lean over and kiss her, but considering Ru Huan's sight in the dark and Yu Shujun in the driver's seat, he finally did not take action.

Just as I was hesitating, a system prompt sounded in my mind -

9527: [Congratulations to the contestant, the exploration level of the key item "Nominal Wife of Marriage by Agreement" has been increased to 13%.]

Because of Wen Nan's silent rejection, Zhuang Yichen was filled with loneliness and sadness, but this negative emotion not only did not affect the progress of her plot line, but instead increased the exploration level by 13 points? So, this is Zhuang Yichen's character design?

Seeing that Wen Nan didn't say anything, Zhuang Yichen looked up at him and finally opened the car door. "Since you don't want to, then if you agree to move to my place tonight, I can consider forgiving you."

Looking at the two exploration levels in the system, one rising and one falling, Wen Nan wanted to agree and coax the other party, but from the perspective of the mission, he finally raised his hand and closed the car door.

Wen Nan looked at the other person through the car window and said, "Chenchen, we agreed before that we should live our own lives and not interfere with each other, right?"

Zhuang Yichen's face was full of disbelief. "You, you really don't..."

Zhuang Yichen stopped questioning and shook her head. "Forget it. You'd better keep your word and don't regret it, husband."

She gritted her teeth as she uttered the last two words, "husband," and then sat back in the back seat of the car. She rolled up the window, looked forward, and ordered, "Xiaojun, drive."

Wen Nan took a step back, and in the thick exhaust fumes, he looked in the direction where the black car was going away, and was satisfied when he received two consecutive system prompts -

9527: [Congratulations to the contestant, the exploration level of the key item "Nominal Wife of Marriage by Agreement" has been increased to 23%.]

9527: [Congratulations to the contestant, the exploration degree of the key item "Young Stepmother with a Strong Desire for Control" has been increased to 82%. ]

With his hands in his pockets, Wen Nan slowly turned around and walked towards the elevator entrance, preparing to go upstairs to pick up Qiqi. At this time, several message prompts popped up in the system -

【Slave Master: nian ni yi sheng】

[Yu Nu-Jun: My Home Password]

[Slave Master: [Location]] (End of this chapter)
