21 『The Real Reason Why』

The days of going outside for her acting classes and going back home as soon as it finishes became a routine for Wu Fei.

Her parents' and grandparents' worries about how she would once again lock herself up in her room is now put into ease.

As such, these elders now moved on to one topic.

Their darling pearl's goal: To be an actress!

"Is that little girl really serious in entering the entertainment industry?" Grandmother Wu suddenly asks.

The elders all turn to look at the one who spent the most time with Wu Fei these past few days.

"Little Xun, what did little Fei told you about this?" Mother Wu speaks up, her voice soft and demure.

Wu Ling Xun looks at the eager faces of his grandparents and parents. He suddenly looks away.

"Hm, Feifei seems serious enough. She takes the acting courses seriously and she's also starting to familiarize herself with the entertainment circle's famous figures."

Σ( ° △ °|||)

"Oh, we are finished!" Grandmother Wu mutters.

"Our darling pearl, joining the entertainment circle... There are only some few people who remains in that industry unscathed. Oh no! What if some sleazy man dares to take advantage of Feifei?"

The overprotective elders and brother all look suddenly fired up.

Wu Fei, their precious little pearl, the only daughter of the Wu Jia being reduced to the state where she has a golden master supporting her? It was laughable but really, really scary to think of ah!

"Little Xun, dear, have Zhicheng support her in the background." Grandfather Wu suddenly speaks up. His fierce eyes meeting his grandson's calm and cold eyes.

"I cannot do that. Wu Fei is really serious about this. She told me just yesterday that she doesn't want us to interfere and pull some strings for her."

Remembering that conversation that happened yesterday, Wu Ling Xun couldn't help but frown. Really, he doesn't know how to feel with his little sister's sudden desicion to pick up acting once again.

This time, what could her reason for acting be? The man couldn't help but bitterly remember his darling sister's declaration a few years ago.

"I want to be an actress! That way, I can get closer to him!"

And now... Closing his eyes, the man couldn't but but think of Wu Fei's expression yesterday while she said those words again.

"Big brother, my goal is to become the entertainment queen! The one who people will look up to and respect! I want to act with all my heart!"

"But... So long as that little girl doesn't noticed, I'l try to help as much as I can." Wu Ling Xun suddenly speaks and the elders couldn't help but smile in relief.

For their little girl... They worry so much ah. If they could, they would have just lock her up inside this mansion... away from the potential danger and harm that can befell on her.

But how can they do that?

How can they bear to clip her wings and freedom? So, even if they don't want her to do this or that, they can only smile and support her.

...It's the least they can do for what had happened before.

〘Host is really spoilt.〙086 couldn't help but comment as he lays on a soft and fluffy cushion.

Wu Fei stops putting the newly delivered clothing in her wardrobe and turns to face the little chick.

"Hm?" Raising an eyebrow, she retorts, "It can't be help ah. I am the only daughter after all~"

Her words came out in a haughty tone. Humming lightly, she resumes to her task.

〘Host... Can you tell me the real reason why?〙It's cute and childish voice, for once sounds rather serious.

Wu Fei puts down the clothes on her hands. She turns to look at the system seriously.

For 086, it was a surprise to see its host looking so serious. Her usual bright and genteel smile, tinged with a hint of mischief and youth, disappeared andher sparkling eyes seems to deepen.

"You really want to know?" She asks.

Earnestly, 086 nods. 〘Yes!〙

"It was because of an accident when I was young. I got kidnapped sometime ago," Wu Fei starts to speak, her tone flat and her eyes cold.

"It because of a family struggle. It was because Second Uncle wants to wrestle the authority over the Wu Jia from Father's hands. And as my father's only daughter... I became his Achilles heel. A weakness. So they took me. That way, they can gain the upper hand."

Peaking to look at the little thing's reaction, Wu Fei pauses. It's beady black eyes seemed to stare at her in sympathy but also pity.

Looking away, she closes her eyes and smiles brightly. "Did you believed me? Hehehe, my acting skills is getting better and better ah~"

( • ̀- •́#)

Aggrieved, little 086 turns away from Wu Fei. Hmph! Why did it suddenly felt compassion towards its Host ah?

That heartless woman doesn't need any compassion!

Seeing the system act gloomy, Wu Fei's lips quirked up into a soft smile.

Hm, it's better that way ah. She doesn't need it's pity after all.

『Little Black Box』

...Really, such a cute little thing. 086, you shouldn't pity me ah. What was happened was in the past, I... no longer hold that event in my heart.

So, don't look at me the same way they did at that time.

086... I don't like you. But I think you're slowly becoming one of the people I care for.

You might not know it but now, if anyone wrongs or bullies you, don't be afraid to tell me! I'll protect you because you're one of my people now.

But, little 086...

The expressions you keep on making really makes me want to keep on bullying you ah.
