The entire garden seemed to have entered winter in an instant, and the surrounding flowers and plants were covered with a layer of white frost.
Wen Nan shivered from the cold, and the goose bumps on his arms seemed to fall off.
As expected of a yandere character with the attribute of "ice beauty", when she gets angry, she's like Princess Elsa.
Just as I was thinking about it, a system prompt sounded in my mind -
9527: [Please note that the triggering degree of the yandere attribute of the strategy character "The Nominal Wife of the Agreement Marriage" that you have bound has been increased to 32%.]
It seems that the act of filing for divorce can indeed accurately trigger the other party's yandere attributes. If this trend continues, it won't be long before the other party enters a complete yandere state.
Across from her, Zhuang Yichen tilted her head slightly, her face as white and translucent as ice and snow, her nose and eyes turned red, tears welled up in her eyes, and she trembled as she said, "Are you serious?"
Wen Nan looked back at the other person with an extremely serious look, "Yeah."
"Why?"
The tears in Zhuang Yichen's eyes instantly slid down both sides of her cheeks, condensing into two white traces of frost.
"Because I introduced you to my friends and family? I know I was the first to break the contract, but I did this because...
"Because I like you!"
Miss Zhuang San, who was brought up in pampered condition, is always the focus of the crowd no matter what the occasion. She knows one thing very well - even if she is moved, she must not be the first to say "I like" because whoever is moved first will fall into a passive situation forever.
So even though she liked Ye Jiu, she still held back and refused to say it out loud, wanting to wait for the day when he would fall in love with her and hear the word "like" from his mouth.
However, she found herself too naive. This man's heart was even colder than hers.
She was afraid that she would never be able to wait for the day when the other party would fall in love with her, let alone wait for the other party to take the initiative to say the word "like".
If there is no love, their marriage by arrangement is bound to come to an end.
She was scared, so she started to take action. First, she secretly planned for her friends to attend Ye Jiu's birthday party, and then she contacted her two brothers to find out the situation.
As a final step, she also planned for her parents to come over. If they met her parents and approved of Ye Jiu, she would ask her father to find Ye Jiu a senior executive position in Zhuang Group with an annual salary of tens of millions, so that he would not have to work as a 996 slave with a monthly salary of ten thousand.
She thought that if everything went well, she could step by step, in the name of family, tie Ye Jiu to her side forever.
She thought that even without love, their marriage by agreement could last forever.
But, unexpectedly, every time she took a step forward, Ye Jiu took a step back——
She wanted to kiss him, but Ye Jiu dodged her again and again, refusing to touch her at all; she invited her friends over, but Ye Jiu got angry at her and sternly refused to have any contact with her circle of friends; now, she contacted her two brothers to sound out the situation, and before she even got to the point of involving her parents, the other party went back to square one and sentenced her plan and her marriage to death...
Zhuang Yichen finally admitted that their marriage had come to an end. Her plans not only failed to help her keep the marriage forever, but instead accelerated the process of ending.
Zhuang Yichen has nothing to lose anymore.
So, she said "I like it".
"Yejiu," she called out his name slowly, looking into his eyes, "Have you ever felt even a little moved by me?"
The man opposite looked at her and did not answer.
Zhuang Yichen added: "I like you so much, can't you feel it? If you feel the same way, even just a little bit, can you give our marriage one last chance?"
Looking at the other person's face covered with tears, like a little snowman that was about to melt, and looking so pitiful, Wen Nan felt a little bit reluctant.
But this compassion was not enough to make him take back what he had just said.
This final mission required him to be honest with them, without any more lies or deception.
But the truth is, Wen Nan doesn't like Zhuang Yichen.
Sympathy and pity cannot sustain a marriage.
If they were to be honest, their fake marriage certificate would have to be torn into pieces.
Moreover, the testing space of the Scepter's Sheath is about to open.
There is not much time left for Wen Nan.
In his mind, the system prompts continued to sound, and the results showed that Zhuang Yichen's triggering degree had reached 61%.
She was immersed in sorrow, and perhaps she did not even realize that her cold body was once again enveloped by a subtle golden light.
In Wen Nan's equipment reserve column, the prompt that the key item "Chenchen's Moving Castle" was about to be activated appeared again.
Wen Nan shook his head, took out the marriage agreement from the equipment reserve column, and the divorce agreement he had just downloaded from the mall, and took out a marriage certificate and a black sports car key from his pocket.
The moment these things were placed in front of Zhuang Yichen one by one, they were worth more than a thousand words.
Zhuang Yichen seemed to be defeated in an instant and slumped in a chair beside the table. The table and chairs were instantly frozen into ice sculptures.
9527: [Please note that the triggering degree of the yandere attribute of the strategy character "The Nominal Wife of the Agreement Marriage" that you have bound has been increased to 89%.]
Wen Nan didn't have any more words to explain, he just said, "Chenchen, I'm sorry."
Zhuang Yichen raised his hand and grasped the car key that he had just handed over personally. A layer of frost immediately condensed on the surface of the key.
With trembling hands, she tried to touch the divorce agreement next to her, but just as her fingertips were about to touch the corner of the paper, she felt it was too hot and pulled back in panic.
"They all say that I'm as cold as an iceberg, but, Ye Jiu, you are made of ice and snow, right?"
As she spoke, Zhuang Yichen raised her head, stared at Wen Nan's face with tearful eyes, and asked in a trembling voice:
"Tell me, what should I do to melt the ice and snow and make the frozen heart feel emotional?"
Wen Nan was a little dazed by the question.
He considered himself to be a veteran in the love field, but he was suddenly given the nickname "Heart of Ice and Snow". There was a hint of helplessness in his smile.
He wanted to refute, but Wen Nan didn't know how to refute for a moment.
On the other side, the nanny Aunt Zhang was holding a tray and running quickly towards Wen Nan and Zhuang Yichen.
Meimei went forward and stopped her halfway, "Aunt Zhang, don't go over there. Master Ye and Miss Zhuang are talking about...divorce."
"ah?"
Aunt Zhang opened her eyes wide in shock, but after looking at the tray in her hand, she insisted on walking to the table, "This is the Basque cake that Miss Zhuang asked Alex to make. Alex repeatedly told me to send it over."
As she said this, she swung her arms, broke free from Meimei's restraints, ran to the table in two steps, and put down the tray.
Zhuang Yichen burst into tears, and didn't even look up at Aunt Zhang. She waved her hands and said, "Go away! The farther the better! Don't come near here!"
Those words seemed to be wrapped in frost, wind and snow, which scratched Aunt Zhang's cheeks so hard that she lowered her head in panic and stepped back.
Zhuang Yichen looked at the Basque cake on the tray. For some reason, she felt that the cheese on it looked bloody.
She suddenly burst into laughter.
He seemed like nothing had happened just now, telling her that he wanted to eat Basque cake, but in fact he had already prepared the divorce agreement.
Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.
She's like a huge joke!
9527: [Please note that the triggering degree of the yandere attribute of the strategy character "The Nominal Wife of the Agreement Marriage" that you have bound has been increased to 100%.]
9527: [Please note that the strategy character you have bound to, "The Nominal Wife of the Marriage Agreement", has officially entered the complete yandere state! ]
Crash!
Zhuang Yichen suddenly raised his hand and overturned the entire table. The cake on the tray, along with the teacups and teapot next to it, and the ingredients that Wen Nan had placed on the table, all fell out at the same time.
Wen Nan frowned as he looked at the bloody Basque cake and the marriage certificate flying in the air like a piece of paper.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Just as the cake was about to touch the ground, a flash of golden light appeared.
Then, the soft cheese core of the cake burst and splattered all over the floor, with some of the red jam stained on the marriage certificate and divorce agreement that had fallen to the ground.
Wen Nan retracted his gaze and looked at the woman sitting opposite him. He found that her expression seemed much calmer than before.
It seemed that after venting her emotions, Zhuang Yichen regained her sanity and began to think about every detail of her interactions with the man next to her in this short and false marriage.
With her eyes downcast and fixed on the divorce agreement that fell at her feet, Zhuang Yichen did not look at Wen Nan, but said in a bitter tone: "Not really. You are not sealed from love, and your heart is not always cold. In fact, you have always had someone you like...
"You like Xiaojun, don't you?"
Having said that, Zhuang Yichen finally raised her head and looked at the man next to her.
Wen Nan was slightly stunned and didn't know how to respond to the other party's question.
Zhuang Yichen smiled bitterly and said to himself:
"I'm always very good at judging people. I can tell that you and the three women at the birthday party were just playing around.
“But I also clearly saw that the way you looked at Xiaojun was different.
"In the car, in the room, at the dining table, anywhere, as long as she is there, she is the only one in your eyes.
"When you look at her, there is a light in your eyes that you never see when you look at anyone else."
Seeing the bewildered look on the other person's face, Zhuang Yichen couldn't help but chuckle. The tears in the corners of her eyes froze into frost and curved up. "So, you didn't even notice it yourself?"
After laughing, she frowned again.
"But why? Why is it Xiaojun? " "A lowly assistant, cold and hard, who doesn't know how to please others. Why can such a person make you look at her with completely different eyes?
"You don't know, I also want you to look at me like that, even if it's just for a moment, I'm really jealous.
"That's why I used lipstick to ask you for a kiss in the car. That's why I deliberately put her in the back seat at the dinner table. But you still refused to look at me and your eyes were always fixed on her.
"It seems that we are just an inconspicuous dark background in the night, and she is the only light in your eyes."
Wen Nan had no idea how to continue with these words.
Zhuang Yichen was right in one thing, Wen Nan didn't notice any of this at all.
Is it true that the way he looks at Yu Shujun is really different from that of others?
Just as he was lost in thought, Zhuang Yichen stood up and walked to the messy lawn next to him. He squatted down and picked up the marriage certificate, prenuptial agreement, and divorce agreement one by one. Then he stood up again. "These materials... give me a little time, okay?"
After saying that, Zhuang Yichen left without looking back.
Wen Nan was a little dazed as he watched the other person's back gradually disappear from his sight.
This character with the attribute of "Iceberg Beauty" was clearly still in a complete yandere state at this moment, but she did not hurt Wen Nan at all. Apart from losing her temper, she did not do anything other extreme.
Just like that, he left quietly.
Wen Nan lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on the Basque cake that had been broken into a mess at his feet, and he fell into deep thought.
After a moment, I felt dizzy and my vision suddenly went dark. Then, my body began to fall rapidly.
The testing space of the Scepter's Sheath was opened again.
There was a familiar black pool of water under his feet, and two black figures in front of him. A familiar giant screen was floating above his head, and a similar message popped up:
[Welcome to the Scabbard of the Scepter - Scabbard Candidate Qualification Test - Exclusive Space]
[There are 3 candidates for this sheath bearer, and the candidates are listed as follows:
Candidate No. 1: holds 1.5 fragments (pending confirmation); Candidate No. 2: holds 1.5 fragments (pending confirmation); Candidate No. 3: holds 1 fragment (pending confirmation). 】
【Please all candidates confirm whether to participate in this qualification test. 】
The difference is that this time, Wen Nan is no longer the bottom 0.5 fragment holder.
This time, he became the No. 2 candidate, with the same number of fragments as the No. 1 candidate.
His fingers unconsciously reached out to his equipment reserve column, where a small gem appeared.
That was temporarily rented to him by Yu Shujun, a transfer of fragments.
Candidate No. 3 was obviously caught off guard by this, so he stared at the screen and did not click the confirmation button until the first two candidates did.
Above his head, the floating light screen cast a beam of light on the top of Candidate No. 3's head, and a huge prompt jumped -
[Candidate No. 3, please click to confirm as soon as possible! ]
[Remaining time: 3——]
[Remaining time: 2——]
At the last second, Candidate No. 3 suddenly raised his arms above his head and made an application gesture.
Then, he sent a message to the light screen above his head -
[Candidate No. 3, apply to re-count the number of fragments held.] (End of this chapter)
