The roar startled her so much that she trembled all over. Just as she was about to kiss Lou Yu'er's cheek, she was suddenly pulled away by a strong force.
"General, help!"
Lou Yu'er reacted quickly; as soon as she saw Xiang Wan being pulled away, she rushed into Xuan Yuanlie's arms, hugging his waist tightly and refusing to let go. While hugging him, she cried for help, her tears soaking his military uniform, looking utterly aggrieved.
Xiang Wan was completely bewildered; it seemed she hadn't done anything at all! Lou Yu'er had conveniently taken advantage of her, especially since she hadn't even been able to touch Xuan Yuanlie's clothes before. No, she couldn't let her get away with this.
Xiang Wan mimicked Xuan Yuanlie's mannerisms, her face darkening as she roared, "What are you doing?" She yanked Lou Yu'er two meters away from Xuan Yuanlie's embrace. Still shaken, Lou Yu'er was completely bewildered, not expecting Xiang Wan to move so quickly. After realizing what was happening, she tried to break free from Xiang Wan's grasp.
Xuan Yuanlie's anger had not yet subsided. Seeing Xiang Wan holding onto Lou Yu'er's wrist, he couldn't help but reprimand her, "Let her go! What kind of behavior is this?"
"Ha, decorum?" Xiang Wan glanced at Lou Yu'er and said sarcastically, "I only pulled her a little, and that's not decorum? Then General Xuanyuan keeping a mistress in a golden house is decorum?"
Perhaps the sarcasm in her eyes was too obvious, for Xuan Yuanlie's breath caught in his throat, and his face grew even darker. Qian Xiaoqi, who was following behind him, silently closed the door and stood by the wall as if she were invisible.
"Don't talk nonsense, I just saved her life."
Xuan Yuanlie's explanation only made things worse. Xiang Wan began listing the inappropriateness of his actions, essentially questioning him on behalf of the original owner of the body from his previous life: "Saving lives? Why bring someone directly to your own house? You don't even have a wife yet. If someone asks you to save their life, you just leave them at your own home. If you had a wife, what would she think? Lou Yu'er is treacherous; she watches over you every day, cooking and cleaning for you. Can't you see through her? You're a dignified Federal General; do you really need to personally handle such matters? Just give the order, and plenty of people will take care of it for you."
"You've traveled through interstellar space, saving countless lives. Qian Xiaoqi has saved people too, so why didn't he save his own family? You're different. Unless you have ulterior motives towards her, you wouldn't make such a foolish mistake. If you insist on keeping her here, then give her a proper status; it's better than letting people suspect you unnecessarily. If you don't want to keep her, then return her to Ge Taiman Wu Ge of Lieyang Star. With his abilities, protecting someone like her is more than enough."
After spending these days together, Xiang Wan finally understood where the original owner of the body had gone wrong in her previous life. Some people are born with pitifully low emotional intelligence, yet they hold high positions, and no one dares to remind or question them like this. What Xiang Wan needed to do was bring things out into the open. Even if Xuan Yuanlie had feelings for Lou Yu'er, let alone if he did, being questioned like this by his subordinate would surely prompt him to remove her to avoid suspicion, right? Moreover, Xiang Wan wanted to see what kind of results her efforts had yielded. If she could force out his true feelings, that would be quite good.
"General, it's not what he said. I only wanted to repay your life-saving grace. But he almost took liberties with me just now. General, you must seek justice for me."
Lou Yu'er seized the opportunity to complain, which caused Xuan Yuanlie to frown deeply. Others might not know Xiang Wan's identity, but surely he did?
"Waaah, General, she's twisting the truth like this, and she can't stand me saying a few words of advice to you. If you want to keep her, then let me leave. I really can't live like this anymore."
Xiang Wan mimicked Lou Yu'er's pitiful demeanor, feigning tears while glancing around and giving Qian Xiaoqi meaningful glances. Her tone and expression were remarkably lifelike, as if she were Lou Yu'er's twin sister. Qian Xiaoqi, surprised but unable to suppress a smile, quickly advised, "General, what Xiang Wan said isn't without merit, perhaps..."
Xuan Yuanlie glared fiercely at Qian Xiaoqi, but seeing Xiang Wan's ridiculous actions, his anger miraculously vanished. His expression softened, and Lou Yu'er knew something was wrong. She hurriedly explained, "General, don't believe him. You saw it when you came in; he really was plotting something. There are security cameras in this house; you can check them to see if I'm lying."
"Huh? There are surveillance cameras too?" Xiang Wan's eyes lit up as if she had grasped something. "That's right, why don't we pull them up and take a look? That way we can find out what Lou Yu'er is doing all the time and what she's planning to do."
Upon hearing this, Lou Yu'er's expression immediately changed. In her haste, she had forgotten the things she had discreetly placed in the corner of the room. If the surveillance footage were actually reviewed, her little tricks would no longer be able to be hidden.
Upon seeing Lou Yu'er's expression, Xuan Yuanlie knew something was wrong, so he ordered Qian Xiaoqi to check the surveillance footage. Lou Yu'er glared at Xiang Wan with resentment, her eyes flashing with unwillingness and a hint of schadenfreude.
Xiang Wan was well aware of this; she had already tampered with the surveillance footage when she entered the area. The footage of her flirting with Lou Yu'er was still there, only the angle and the voice had changed. It wasn't that she was bullying Lou Yu'er, but rather that Lou Yu'er was trying to seduce her. It has to be said, sometimes having a quiet, unassuming system is quite powerful.
The system silently rolled its eyes: What a terrible host! If it didn't keep shirking its responsibilities, would this system be doing such a low-level thing? Sigh, who told me to be so blind as to choose someone like this? (Silently shedding tears...)
With the facts laid bare, Qian Xiaoqi searched all the items Lou Yu'er had placed there and took them for medical testing. The contents were indescribable. Xuan Yuanlie's face darkened with rage, and seeing Xiang Wan's gloating expression, he was furious: "Who told you to come here for no reason? If I hadn't happened to be here today, what would you have done if you'd been infected!"
Xiang Wan leaned closer and teased, "Is it really just a coincidence?"
Xuan Yuanlie's face stiffened, and he waved for Qian Xiaoqi to take Lou Yu'er out. The moment the door closed, the atmosphere inside changed instantly. Xiang Wan sensed something was wrong and hurriedly tried to make an excuse to leave: "Um, General, where's your toilet? I can't hold it in anymore."
Xuan Yuanlie grabbed Xiang Wan's wrist and, mimicking how she had treated Lou Yu'er, pinned her against the wall.
Xiang Wan looked at his expression; he didn't seem to be joking at all, and there was a storm brewing in his eyes. Knowing something was wrong, Xiang Wan quickly said, "Really, General, I'm not lying to you."
"Is this how you were seduced by her?"
Her breath tickled her ear, causing her body to tremble instinctively. Xiang Wan knew she was doomed. This body was too sensitive; what if Xuan Yuanlie misunderstood?
Xiang Wan straightened up, wrapped her other arm around his neck, stood on tiptoe, and breathed softly into his ear: "If you don't go to the toilet soon, you really won't be able to hold it in."
Xuan Yuanlie froze, and Xiang Wan immediately broke free from his grasp. Before he could react, she ran into the first-floor bathroom, leaving him alone. He slowly raised his hand to touch his ear, staring blankly in the direction Xiang Wan had run.
