Xia Yixin's knuckles turned white as she couldn't suppress the urge to punch him. Finally, just as his hand was about to slip under the covers, she pretended to be uncomfortable and slapped his hand hard, muttering, "Annoying."
She wrapped herself up in the blanket like a ball.
Is this little woman really not afraid of him going all in?
In the past, he would have made his move long ago, but now, looking at the little woman who had wrapped herself up like a ball, his smile deepened.
This is correct.
It was the girl who gave him orders, the dazzling and stubborn Xia Yixin.
She was not afraid of him, nor would she flatter worldly customs.
Before leaving, Lu Yan glanced at the decorative paintings and carvings in her room. There was a fleeting glimpse of a tiny surveillance camera. The entire Xia family mansion, and even the Xia Group, had surveillance cameras left behind by him.
Xia Yixin, wrapped in a blanket, didn't know when he left, and unknowingly fell asleep.
Early in the morning, Xia Yixin sat up abruptly as if she had been electrocuted, gasping for breath as she touched her neck. It wasn't broken, there was no blood, and it was still as white as snow.
Holy crap, she's still alive!
Before she could even feel relieved, the system's excited notification sounded in her mind.
"Ah, host, do you know how much the male supporting character's happiness level has increased?! Ahhhhh! The male supporting character's happiness level has now recovered to -300 points! He gained almost 100 points overnight, what did you do?!"
"I slapped him." An awkward yet polite smile. "So he's a masochist?"
"...Host, you must be joking!"
Xia Yixin really couldn't figure out why his happiness level had suddenly increased.
"Sigh, he was such a cute kid when he was little, and we got along fine." Xia Yixin murmured, then suddenly thought of something, "When he was little? System, do you think his sudden return to a positive number might be because he realized the difference between the original owner and me?"
"Huh?" The system was dumbfounded.
Xia Yixin analyzed, "System, the original owner's personality has been completely out of control for the past ten years. He hated the original owner so much before, could it be because he thought that a good child had gone astray? If he had known, he would have just tied him up and not done anything too bad to him. So his low score must be because of disappointment. Now that I have taken over the original owner's body again, he has found that I am different, so he is in a period of observation."
"Moreover, in the original story, Xia Yixin and he didn't interact when they were young, but now it's different. The story has already changed from the very beginning." The more Xia Yixin thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense.
The system was completely confused by her. "So what?"
"When he was a child, we treated him the same way we would at the orphanage. People like him hate those who fawn over him and obey him the most. They will only acknowledge you if you are absolutely smart and outstanding, or if you completely challenge and defeat them. However, the latter may backfire. In short, this type of person is called antisocial personality."
"Now that you mention it, it does seem very similar. In the original story, the more the female lead resisted, the more he harassed her."
Xia Yixin's almond-shaped eyes regained their calm and wisdom. "System, I've never asked before, but does happiness value simply represent a person's feeling of happiness? As long as they feel happy, that's enough. Strictly speaking, it includes family, friendship, love, and even some people consider work achievements as happiness. Don't you agree?"
"That's right, strictly speaking, it's an obsession." The system hesitated for a long time before adding, "But actually, the fastest way is to become his obsession. Many other players make the male supporting characters fall in love with them to complete their missions. Host, would you like to give it a try?"
Xia Yixin remained silent for a long time before asking, "Is love something that has an ulterior motive? I don't want to deceive myself and others just to complete a mission."
"Host, it's scary that you have such thoughts. Don't forget that the people and things in these worlds you've experienced aren't real. To put it bluntly, they're just two-dimensional characters. You've invested too much emotion in them."
The system's words were like a muffled thunderclap, startling her awake.
Was she wrong?
"At least I won't use that method." As for the rest, Xia Yixin couldn't figure it out for the moment, so she simply didn't think about it.
"Host, you'll regret this."
Xia Yixin ignored the system's words. After getting up, she went to the bathroom to check and make sure that Lu Yan really hadn't done anything. Fortunately, after checking around, she didn't find anything unusual.
"I underestimated them." Xia Yixin put her nightgown back on, her almond-shaped eyes filled with relief and regret.
Although I've thought it through, I still need to be cautious, because people with antisocial personality disorder are too dangerous.
She called Li Rui directly and said, "Sister Hua, prepare some self-defense items for me. They should be portable and preferably something I can hide on my person and use at any time. Also, put them in all my vehicles, just in case."
Although Li Rui didn't know why, she felt that it was right to be more vigilant. She was very efficient, and in less than an hour, Xia Yixin received a silver cultivation pistol, about the size of a palm. It could be strapped to a hidden location such as the groin with a strap, or carried on her person. Unfortunately, it only had three bullets. All the vehicles she used for transportation also had weapons in them.
After confirming everything, she felt a little relieved. Even with such strong security at the Xia family's ancestral home, they couldn't stop the other party. She didn't want to lose her life before she could even increase her happiness points.
However, she had no idea that her every move was being reported to Lu Yan via a hidden camera in her room.
Looking at the image of the woman hiding a weapon on his phone screen, Lu Yan closed his phone and smiled.
"Xia Yixin," he murmured, increasingly looking forward to her reaction when they met again.
The following week was filled with tension and uncertainty for the Xia family.
Xia Yixin, having nothing better to do, would wander around the company, ostensibly to inspect it, but actually to throw a tantrum. Everyone got a taste of her princess-like temper.
At first, Wang Cheng didn't pay any attention, but the other party came for three or four days in a row, and his phone was almost ringing off the hook.
"Brother Cheng, can you believe how infuriating this is? I just poured myself a cup of coffee and heated it up a bit, and she fired me! Is she crazy?!" Wang Cheng's mistress, number one, ran into the vice president's office crying, her eye makeup ruined.
Wang Cheng had just hung up the phone with his father's relative and was feeling annoyed when he slapped the woman away, yelling, "Who the hell told you to be so blind? You know how spoiled that little princess is. You deserve to go after her. Get the hell out of here!"
Lover #1 trembled with rage, "You heartless bastard, you just wait!"
The woman stomped her foot angrily and stormed off, slamming the door shut with a loud bang.
"Damn it, you bitch!" Wang Cheng was furious and swept everything off the table. He was incredibly frustrated. When that young lady got angry, she wouldn't listen to anyone. As long as that old man wasn't dead, Xia Yixin still had 30% of the Xia family's shares in her hands, and he had to keep up the act and couldn't argue with her.
Moreover, he always had a bad feeling.
Suddenly he remembered something and immediately dialed a phone number.
