Chapter 124 Host, it's time to put your talents to good use!
An Ruoruo had no choice but to stiffen as she entered the private room. She nervously examined each of the mahogany square chairs, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets, but she still couldn't determine her target.
Wen Yao chuckled when she saw the interior, "This mix-and-match style is really not good-looking."
The large wooden table in Plum Blossom Ode is brown, with neatly carved plum blossoms, while the mahogany chairs in Pear Blossom Fragrance are varied in shape, their bright red color clashing with the private room.
An Ruoruo forced a smile: "Just like my sister-in-law said before, we're here to eat, not to have a private room, so it doesn't matter."
Wen Yao responded with a sweet smile: "Indeed, but even if you're here to eat, you should sit down first."
She glanced up and down at An Ruoruo, who was standing frozen in place, her expression somewhat amused: "Miss An, are you going to eat standing up?"
"How could that be?" Afraid of arousing Wen Yao's suspicion, An Ruoruo braced herself and chose a place to sit down.
Wen Yao and Fu Jinzhi exchanged a glance and sat down opposite An Ruoruo.
Wen Yao boldly ordered, "One of all the signature dishes, please!"
The waitress in a cheongsam smiled gently: "Would you like another serving of the three complimentary signature dishes you just selected?"
Wen Yao's face was as beautiful as a peach blossom. "Yes, please pack it up for me. We'll take it with us when we leave."
Since it was a weekday, there were very few guests at Fuyun Hotel. Before long, the dishes were served one by one.
Just as Wen Yao was about to start eating, Fu Yan called again.
On the other end of the video call, Fu Yan was still wearing a flowing pink ancient costume, probably still on set and taking a break.
Fu Yan pushed her wig behind her back. "You and your second brother went to Fuyun Mountain?"
Her eyes gleamed with gossip: "Wow, how romantic is this time for just the two of us!"
Wen Yao moved her phone further away and turned the camera around, "An Ruoruo is also there, so the three of them are traveling together."
Fu Yan: "..."
That's really hard to tell. How come there isn't a single photo of An Ruoruo? The copywriting also doesn't show her.
But since all the parties involved were present, Fu Yan could only greet them politely: "Sister Ruoruo".
To ease the awkward atmosphere, Fu Yan quickly changed the subject: "I just saw the waiters serving the food. Let me see what delicious things you've been eating behind my back?"
Wen Yao then pointed the camera at the table.
Fu Yan pretended to be angry, pouting with her lips puffed out: "Fine, sister-in-law, you're so biased. Before, when I went out to eat with you and your husband, you were afraid I would order too much and waste food."
Fu Yan: "Why did you order such a huge table of food when it was Ruoruo's turn?"
Fu Yan never considered that someone else would pay the bill when Fu Jinzhi was present. She deliberately exaggerated the situation in an attempt to ease the tension between An Ruoruo, Wen Yao, and Fu Jinzhi.
Yes, even though Fu Yan has been extremely busy lately, she has heard about the discord between Wen Yao and An Ruoruo.
But as soon as she said that, the private room became even quieter.
Wen Yao was taken aback for a moment, then quickly replied shamelessly, "How is that the same? I was the one treating before, but this time it's Miss An, hahahahaha."
His smile was very dry and forced.
Fu Jinzhi was even more of a problem. He had always been the one to treat others since he was a child. He never expected that his rare attempt to "freeload" would be exposed by his silly younger sister.
Even though it was awkward, Fu Jinzhi didn't want Wen Yao to face it alone. He cleared his throat, his handsome face full of nonchalance: "This time, An Ruoruo is treating us to make amends."
Fu Jinzhi: "Yaoyao was afraid that being too polite would not put An Ruoruo at ease. She is always so thoughtful and considerate."
Wen Yao was in a daze. Was she really this understanding? She hadn't even realized it herself, and thought she was at most good at undressing people!
Great, you've discovered another strength of yours.
8848: [...]
That's incredible, Wen Yao actually dared to believe it.
When the video suddenly went silent, Fu Yan realized something was wrong. After listening to Wen Yao and Fu Jinzhi's conversation, she scratched her toes like the wind.
Fu Yan gave a few glances, signaling her assistant Xiao Qu to call her, and then she would pretend to be busy and leave naturally.
However, Xiao Qu, being a very thoughtful child, didn't catch Fu Yan's hint at all. When she saw Fu Yan suddenly blinking repeatedly, she quickly rushed to Fu Yan's side.
Xiao Qu was extremely worried and asked in a very loud voice, "Sister Yan, what's wrong with your eyes? You're blinking so much, could it be conjunctivitis?"
Xiao Qu: "Good heavens, you still have a scene to film later!"
Fu Yan felt like dying; this Xiao Qu was such a blockhead! A blockhead!
With things having come to this, Fu Yan, feeling utterly hopeless, exclaimed, "Ah, my eyes!"
My eyes suddenly feel so uncomfortable!
She covered her eyes and quickly hung up the video call.
"No wonder Xiaoyan became an actress, she's such a good actress," Wen Yao murmured.
She seemed to have just heard a character from a classic palace drama wailing, "Baojuan, my throat—".
After the farce, An Ruoruo felt dizzy and lightheaded from anger. No, she was getting more and more dizzy.
An Ruoruo questioned 4399: "Is there something wrong with this 'white moonlight's' body?"
She's had her share of anger, but never to this extent; she was seeing stars.
4399's mechanical voice roared: [Idiot, I'm the one who's dizzy, you're sitting on a chair smeared with prop potion.]
It's too late. 4399 feels its data flow gradually slowing down. If it continues, it will definitely become dizzy and break free, and there will be no way out!
The other side is just a new system on its first mission. If we can escape while we are still conscious, we will still have a chance to fight to the death.
Without destruction, there can be no construction. After some deliberation, 4399 began to forcibly unbind the accounts.
[Ding! System No. 4399 is about to unbind from you. All good things must come to an end. Your thrilling and exciting quick transmigration journey has come to an end.]
May 4399 and its host part ways amicably and each find their own happiness.
An Ruoruo, who was already feeling dizzy from the effects of 4399, felt a splitting headache after hearing the system announcement, as if her soul was being torn apart.
She was furious: "4399, what are you doing?!"
4399 did not reply; it was too lazy to talk to waste that had lost its value.
Having worked together for many years, An Ruoruo understood 4399's nature to some extent. She lay on the table, her eyes bloodshot, looking like a demon crawling out of hell, from an angle no one could see.
4399, since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless too!
Wen Yao, who was standing next to her, did not notice An Ruoruo's abnormality because 8848 was unusually agitated in her mind.
8848: [Host, quickly find a way to unbind the stowaway! My fists are itching for a fight!]
Wen Yao said helplessly, "I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush me. I need a little opportunity."
8848's voice was excited: [Host, it's time to put your talents to use!]
Wen Yao's heart skipped a beat. "What special skills do I have?"
8848: [Of course, it's the specialty of getting people arrested!]
8848: [You've only been in this book for a few months, and you've already sent Zhao Xi'er, several thugs, Yun Zhongbao, Gu Shaohong, An Rourou, and Master Song to the police station.]
[As long as you get An Ruoruo arrested, her system will definitely be unbound. Go for it, host!]
