Jiang Ye walked into the bathroom with a dark expression.
Mu Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief; this method worked.
System: [Host, you are very brave.]
Mu Tiantian: [Let's try anything, even if it's a last resort.]
As it turned out, he liked her doing that.
Mu Tiantian saw the phone on the bed, picked it up, walked to the bathroom door, and asked, "Aye, may I use your phone?"
Jiang Ye, did you see that? She approached you with ulterior motives. Don't believe her lies anymore. She doesn't want you; she wants money!
"Mm," Jiang Ye replied.
He wanted to see what she was up to.
After receiving permission, Mu Tiantian opened her phone, but it was password protected.
System: [What do you need his phone for?]
Mu Tiantian: [I'll call Chu Ran and try to appease her, otherwise, forget about giving her a birthday present, I probably won't even be allowed into her birthday party.]
Mu Tiantian casually typed her birthday into her phone.
It's open?
Mu Tiantian was quite happy.
System: [Now everyone uses fingerprint unlocking, maybe he just forgot to change it.]
Mu Tiantian: [...dumped my cold water.]
System: [This is just to put you on your guard; his hatred level is currently off the charts.]
Mu Tiantian ignored Qi Tong and recalled Chu Ran's phone number before dialing it.
Chu Ran, who was venting her anger by hitting a teddy bear, took a deep breath after her phone rang, trying to calm herself down.
On the teddy bear's forehead were three large characters: "Mu Tiantian".
Chu Ran picked up her phone and glanced at it.
Jiang Ye?
What does he want by calling?
Chu Ran pressed the answer button, and a familiar, sweet voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Ranran, I'm Tiantian..."
Just as Chu Ran was about to hang up, she heard a hurried apology from the other end of the line, "Ranran, I must have been out of my mind to say those things back then. You really are my only good sister in this world. I sincerely hope that you can be with Mu Chen and become my sister-in-law. I was the stupid one."
Chu Ran softened and picked up the phone again, holding it to her ear, and questioned, "Then why did you say those things back then?"
"Actually... I had mental health issues back then, and I was having nightmares every day as if I were possessed. Do you think I was like a completely different person back then?"
After hearing Mu Tiantian's words, Chu Ran recalled that Mu Tiantian had changed overnight back then.
She had become someone she didn't recognize. Moreover, in her interactions with Mu Tiantian, apart from saying those few hurtful things to her, Mu Tiantian had never done anything to harm her. It could be said that Mu Tiantian treated her better than any of her friends.
This is why she has been unable to accept Mu Tiantian's transformation over the past two years.
Mu Tiantian continued, "Do you remember? We used to say that if we ever had a fight that led to a complete breakup, we would give each other another chance to make up and apologize by folding a thousand paper stars."
"Tch, you're definitely lying to me," Chu Ran sniffed, stubbornly retorting.
"If I can't do it, may I lose all my hair and have grass grow on my butt." This was a vow they often made back then.
Chu Ran burst out laughing after hearing this.
Mu Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief. "You smiled."
Chu Ran coughed twice. "You misheard me. That was a cough. I don't believe your nonsense, you damn woman. Goodbye!"
System: [Chu Ran's rage value decreased by 15, currently at 65.]
Mu Tiantian: [It's finally gone down.]
Mu Tiantian had just put down her phone when she heard a 'beep' sound.
Jiang Ye's phone received a message, and the screen lit up.
Mu Tiantian glanced at it subconsciously.
Lina: Yu Lian's Assessment.docx
The system told Mu Tiantian about You Lian.
You Lian is currently interning in the R&D department of Jiang Ye's company. Jiang Ye values the R&D department highly, so he personally reviews every employee in the department.
You Lian is quite capable. If the World Management Bureau's prediction is correct, You Lian can shine in Jiang Ye's company. Once she becomes a full-time employee, she won't need to take on part-time jobs anymore, and her life will improve significantly.
She also brought considerable success to the Jiang Group, and was subsequently given important responsibilities by Jiang Ye, with the two gradually developing feelings for each other.
However...
System: [The World Bank's forecasts are utterly useless; all the programmers who developed the forecasting system should be fired!]
As Qi Tong spoke, he became increasingly angry and eventually broke through Qi Tong's defenses.
Mu Tiantian: [So you can get angry too? I thought you were just a program.]
System: [The system can eventually develop its own consciousness, thus possessing emotions and desires. As long as the mission is accomplished, a system with its own consciousness can be promoted and receive a raise, and can even customize its own body. Originally, I could have gone to customize my body after you retired, but instead I have to come back to repair the world, damn it!]
Mu Tiantian: [Mind your manners.]
System: [Damn!]
"Mind your manners" is a phrase that Qi Tong often says to Mu Tiantian, but now the roles have been reversed.
This feels good.
By the end, Qi Tong had completely lost his composure and couldn't suppress the urge to swear.
Mu Tiantian could understand, and seeing that Qi Tong was also like this made her feel much better.
She ignored the message, figuring Jiang Ye would see it when he came out.
After taking a shower, Jiang Ye stood in the bathroom door, eavesdropping on the sounds outside.
Aside from hearing Mu Tiantian make a vow to Chu Ran over the phone, he heard nothing else.
He opened the bathroom door and saw his phone carelessly tossed on the bed.
Mu Tiantian was holding a necklace with a ring hanging from it.
Mu Tiantian looked toward the bathroom upon hearing the sound.
Jiang Ye had a bath towel wrapped around his waist, and a few drops of water dripped from his bangs, running down his perfect face and neck, down his strong and full chest muscles, across his well-defined abs, and finally disappearing into the bath towel around his waist.
One word.
want.
Mu Tiantian swallowed hard, then turned her gaze back to the necklace in her hand. Lust is a dangerous word.
I just hope that Jiang Ye, who is so incredibly tempting, won't kill her.
Mu Tiantian calmed herself down, picked up the necklace and ring, walked up to Jiang Ye, and smiled sweetly, "Happy birthday, it's just a few hours late. This is a gift I bought for you. Although it's a bit cheap, you know I don't have any money on me."
She dangled the ring hanging on the necklace in front of Jiang Ye's eyes.
Jiang Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he stood there stunned.
Memories of the past flooded my mind.
"Ah Ye, from now on, I will give you a necklace and a ring for every birthday. That way, I can keep you by my side and you will never leave me. We will be together forever, okay?"
"I want to give you one too, so you won't leave me. We've made a promise, we'll be together forever..."
In the end, all their sweet words were fake, and she smashed everything he had given her in front of her.
