Chapter 71
"Sir, you didn't have to give me such a big surprise, even if today is our third wedding anniversary."
She pretended to be moved and walked over, her cat-like eyes sparkling with a charming glow.
[Who knows what day it was]
Qi Weiran couldn't say anything, he could only pretend to be calm and nod, signaling Yi Qingju to sit across from him.
She obediently walked to the other side, and as soon as she sat down, she vaguely sensed a certain gaze, turned her head, and met a pair of eyes glowing green, even filled with various negative emotions.
Yi Qingju exclaimed in surprise, "Why is there a green-eyed person here, is it in the late stage?"
[You bastard! It's you!]
Qi Weiran was surprised that she guessed this person's identity so quickly.
But only Yi Qingju knew that after she came in, the little Xiao Jiji had been stomping on her head, frantically shouting in her mind: [It's him—it's him—our Book-crosser~The third person~]
Yi Qingju was about to go deaf, so she took it down from her head directly.
Qi Weiran's sharp eyes saw that little green thing, and he couldn't help but rub his fingertips with longing.
Cute.
The discarded Xiao Jiji, seeing Qi Weiran, had its green bean eyes shining.
[This is not Qi Weiran]
[Salutations—Your Highness the God of Wealth!]
So Qi Weiran looked at the turtle running towards him at a rabbit-like speed with an incredulous gaze.
"Sir, it seems to really like you—"
[Your money]
Seeing the little green-headed Xiao Jiji nuzzling Qi Weiran's fingers, Yi Qingju smiled brightly.
Having kept and lost many small animals since childhood, Qi Weiran, who had always run away with his legs dangling at the sight of dogs, encountered a friendly little creature for the first time in his life.
Seeing the happy family scene of the couple and the turtle, the human trafficker: "......"
He was a dog, but these two were really not human.
Eating is one thing, but now they're showing off their affection!
Good food and wine, plus an enchanting beauty, this is the ultimate dream of so many men.
The human trafficker's eyes not only turned green, but he was also glowing red with envy.
When Yi Qingju accidentally glanced at his appearance while reaching for the wine glass, she turned her head to look at Qi Weiran again.
[Good lord, with the red and green, add Qi Weiran, you two should form a band called "Traffic Light", I'll vote for one ticket, tomorrow Qi Weiran will debut~]
Qi Weiran: "......"
Qi Weiran examined the other person's eyes.
Come to think of it, with him added, they really did resemble a traffic light.
"You don't know, do you? You're not actually sick, the genetic disease is completely fake. You actually—"
Yi Qingju's attention followed.
[Actually?]
But the human trafficker's words stopped at the most crucial point, then he laughed sinisterly, his voice eerie: "Give me some food, and let me go, then I'll tell you."
Qi Weiran calmly asked, "What if I don't?"
Seeing that he took the bait, the other person's eyes flashed with a victorious smile: "Then even if you kill me, you'll never know the truth."
Qi Weiran stood up: "Wan Sui, take the madam back first."
Wan Sui seemed to know what was about to happen and nodded, then walked over to Yi Qingju: "Madam, let's go."
Yi Qingju stood up, her gaze fixed on Qi Weiran: [He's definitely lying to you, don't believe him!]
As she moved her lips, about to say something, the usually soft-spoken Xiao Jiji suddenly became shrill at some unknown time: [Host! You can't say it! You'll be punished by the System inside you! The Original Host Yi Qingju had no idea about this!]
Yi Qingju bit her lip.
Damn, she couldn't just watch Qi Weiran being deceived like that.
The only thing I'm afraid of is that Qi Weiran, with his severe phobia of monsters, would just let that big idiot Book-crosser go, nothing more.
"Sir, don't... believe him!... He... He's deceiving you!"
[Warning! Host Yi Qingju detected engaging in OOC behavior, initiating electric shock punishment now!]
Almost at the very second that damned mechanical voice spoke, she didn't even get to see Qi Weiran's expression before she rushed out the door.
Crouching down in front, she seemed to hear a gunshot, then her whole body started shaking in pain, her consciousness instantly becoming unclear.
Perhaps because this mistake she made was more severe than ordinary OOC behavior, this electric shock was an unprecedented level of pain.
In her blurred vision, she seemed to fall into a warm embrace, that person holding her and calling her name, his voice laced with urgency and concern.
In the second before she fell into complete darkness, Yi Qingju thought—
[Thanks Wan Sui, you're a good person, I'll tell Qi Weiran to give you a raise later]
[Of course, don't expect too much from me, I might just be saying it.]
Originally wishing to sprout wings for herself, Qi Weiran glared fiercely at Wan Sui, who was running alongside her.
Wan Sui: ?
After dealing with an important company matter, the boss suddenly glared at me.
What could this be about? I'm desperately seeking answers online.
