Gu Tailin placed one hand on the back of the sofa and looked at her sideways. "It's just as you think. After this matter is thoroughly investigated, it's not legitimate for you or me to take action. It's most appropriate for Grandma to take action."
Ye Wenya distanced herself from him, her expression dull, "I see. Thank you, Mr. Gu, for the information. I'll tell grandma that you found this."
Gu Tailin touched his gums with the tip of his tongue and softened his tone, "Can't we just continue to get along like friends?"
Ye Wenya's face was wooden. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Gu. We can't continue to be friends. I want to be a person, not someone's toy."
Gu Tailin also understood that this was the crux of the matter. Even he himself couldn't figure out what he felt towards Ye Wenya, so how could he force her?
He rubbed his forehead and exhaled, "I promise I won't do that to you again. Let's just stay friends, okay?"
Ye Wenya's eyes were suspicious and alert, as if she didn't believe him. "What's your purpose in saying that?"
Gu Tailin smiled bitterly, "I really have no motive. I just want to continue being friends with you. Can you trust me this time?"
Ye Wenya didn't dare to believe him, and instead moved further away from him. "If Mr. Gu really wants to repent, then please do as I say and stay away from me. I will be very grateful."
Gu Tailin felt like he had brought this upon himself. "Let's talk calmly, okay?"
Ye Wenya thought about it and decided to have a calm talk with Gu Tailin to avoid a series of subsequent troubles.
"Can."
Gu Tailin changed his posture and relaxed himself. "I know you are so annoyed with me because of what I did before. I promise you here that I will never do something like that again, nor will I force you."
"The condition is that you and I continue to be friends, OK?"
Ye Wenya looked at him with a look that said, "What bad ideas are you planning?" "Why do you suddenly say this? What's your intention?"
Gu Tailin repeatedly stated that he had no bad intentions. "I just don't want to continue like this with you. I want to ease the relationship with you."
Ye Wenya looked at him for a while and came up with an idea, “If you want to ease the conditions with me, you have to agree to my conditions.”
Gu Tailin's eyelids twitched a few times, "Tell me about it."
Ye Wenya held up three fingers, her face serious, "First, if you do something similar again, or force me, please pretend you don't know me."
Gu Tailin gritted his teeth and said, "...Okay."
"Second, please treat me like a human being. I'm a living person, not a toy in your hands. Please remember this. Don't do whatever you want just because you think it's interesting or fun."
"I will do it."
"Third, if you want to pursue me, that's your business. I have no control over that. But please don't interfere with my freedom or anything else under the guise of pursuing me. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
Ye Wenya didn't believe in verbal promises, so she printed out two contracts and asked Gu Tailin to sign and stamp them with her personal seal.
"I know the contract can't bind you, and I don't want to use it to bind you, but I want you to remember that there is such a contract."
Gu Tailin's teeth ached. "I will abide by the contract."
Ye Wenya said, "As long as you abide by it," and returned to her room with a contract.
Gu Tailin watched her leave, and a light appeared in his dark eyes. At least, Ye Wenya was willing to sit with him calmly.
He sat for a few more seconds and then left.
After Ye Wenya put the contract away in the room, she talked to the system in her mind.
[System, now it's time to discuss your true purpose.]
System 001 said, "I am dead. Please burn paper if you have any questions."
Ye Wenya couldn't help but sneer. "System, if I deliberately ruin two plot points, do you think you'll actually die? No, you'll be deregistered. At that point, you'll truly cease to exist."
System 001 sat up in shock from his dying state and said flatteringly, "Host, let's talk it out nicely, okay? Look, if anything happens to me, you and your brother won't end well either."
Ye Wenya reached out and looked at her well-maintained hands, then said slowly, "In the original story, my brother and I didn't have a good ending. Our current good life is basically freeloading. Besides, you know I was originally a laborer. Now I can live a leisurely life of wealth and beauty. How could I ask for more?"
System 001's voice froze slightly. "Host, look, if you were to lose such a wonderful life of wealth and beauty, you would be heartbroken."
Ye Wenya chuckled and said, "Why would I feel heartbroken? Once I'm done with my brother, I'll probably be done with the entire novel world. Maybe I can even return to my original world, don't you think?"
System 001 stopped talking. He had thought that this host was easy to coax and could help him complete either of the two plots. Who knew that the host would be so difficult to deal with?
Ye Wenya was not in a hurry. She was shopping like crazy on various shopping apps with her phone. The thing her sister had the most was money. She could buy whatever she wanted.
Also, buy while the good times are still there, otherwise you will regret it later.
When she was enjoying her shopping, the system's weak chirping voice sounded in her mind again.
[Host, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I can't. If I tell you, things will become very troublesome.]
As Ye Wenya was buying, she coaxed him, "System, you have two choices. One is to say nothing and wait for the two plots to fail, and then we'll all be done with it. The other is to tell the truth and I'll help you complete the mission. It's good for you, me, and everyone else."
System 001 hesitated and struggled. Why couldn't this host be a little dumber?
When Ye Wenya was about to say something else, she heard a knock on the door.
She opened the door and saw her brother standing at the door, smiling like a flower: "Brother, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Ye Cong patted her head lovingly. "I heard from the housekeeper that you and Gu Tailin signed a contract. Are you okay?"
Ye Wenya briefly explained the contract, "I'm not using the contract to constrain Gu Tailin. I'm thinking of giving him a slap in the face in public when he violates it in the future."
"Don't worry, brother. I will be very careful."
Ye Cong couldn't help but worry. He sighed, "You haven't seen Gu Tailin's cruel side. You know there are some special places in the world. Gu Tailin sent some people to those places, and basically no one survived."
"Wenya, try not to conflict with Gu Tailin in the future. He's just temporarily interested in you. It will be fine once his interest fades."
Ye Wenya agreed, "Brother, don't go talk to Gu Tailin. It's useless."
Ye Cong was very clear about this. He hummed, "By the way, Fu Yu just called me. Guess what he said?"
