Suddenly I heard Lu Liye’s voice…

　　Lu Bai and Qin Qingqing were both frozen in the same expression – for a full half minute.

　　In the end, it was Lu Bai who came to his senses first and returned to his chilly look.

　　He raised his eyes and looked upstairs, and saw Lu Liye, who was said to have “fainted from hunger”.

　　That kid is clearly full of life.

　　so……

　　Who said “Lu Liye has fainted from hunger”?

　　Lu Bai’s brows were tightly knitted together, and he felt cold!

　　Only later realized——

　　It’s Qin Qingqing.

　　Someone in his arms…

　　A chill ran down his spine.

　　He pretended nothing happened and answered his eldest son:

　　”Shut up and go back to your room.”

　　”oh……”

　　Lu Liye didn’t understand what was going on and was about to go back to his room.

　　Just… I was caught off guard and saw the woman’s red eyes.

　　He paused.

　　After meeting his father’s gaze, he pretended not to have seen anything and returned to his room…

　　never mind.

　　He coaxes his own woman.

　　Lu Liye left.

　　At the original place, Qin Qingqing, with her red rabbit eyes, finally came back to her senses…

　　She discovered:

　　Just now, I did a lot of outrageous things to Lu Yanwang!

　　Even used his tie to wipe tears???

　　Qin Qingqing bounced away immediately!

　　”hiss–“

　　The next second, she covered her lower back in embarrassment, gasping in pain.

　　Woohoo…

　　Her waist! Maybe it’s really broken, right?

　　Across from her, someone who had hurt her; the hand hanging by her side suddenly clenched into a fist——

　　But I can only let it go in vain.

　　Lu Bai calmed himself down before returning to his usual aloof and indifferent self.

　　Open your mouth——

　　”Forget it, I won’t leave you.”

　　”Um?”

　　Qin Qingqing didn’t hear what he said clearly – she was just thinking about the pain in her waist.

　　But King Lu didn’t say anything else.

　　He stood there coldly again, staring at her hand that was supporting her waist unconsciously, releasing his coldness…

　　Qin Qingqing didn’t dare to wait any longer.

　　otherwise–

　　She was afraid that Lu Yanwang was angry because “Lu Liye didn’t faint from hunger and she was the one who made the mistake.”

　　She spoke decisively.

　　There was a hint of crying in the voice.

　　“Um, I’m sorry…”

　　”Lu Liye didn’t faint from hunger. I was wrong.”

　　Lu Bai paused!

　　He had just tried his best to maintain a good mood; but he was so easily broken and corroded by her apology…he was completely defeated.

　　He thought: He should be the one saying “I’m sorry”.

　　I’m sorry, I have to divorce you without finding out the truth.

　　I’m sorry…for hurting you.

　　But–

　　In the end, Lu Bai still couldn’t say “I’m sorry”.

　　She left.

　　With one hand on her injured waist, with the other hand she rubbed her red and swollen eyes…

　　Leaving him with a thin back.

　　He had no choice but to call the butler –

　　”Go get a doctor for my lady.”

　　”yes.”

　　”But……”

　　”Don’t let the lady know: I asked you to invite the doctor.”

　　Lu Bai pinched his eyebrows.

　　”yes.”

　　*

　　Qin Qingqing dragged her “work-injured” body back to the bedroom, and was treated by the doctor hired by the housekeeper…

　　At that time, she thought the doctor was invited by the housekeeper.

　　Then, she heard the housekeeper speak——

　　”Madam, please don’t blame the gentleman.”

　　”He already knows that it was his own fault that he got you hurt today.”

　　”This doctor is the one he asked me to hire for you…”

　　”……oh.”

　　Qin pursed her lips slightly in response, indicating that she understood.

　　Then… she remembered Lu Bai’s words that she didn’t hear clearly –

　　”Forget it, I won’t leave you.”

　　“?!”

　　She widened her eyes in surprise.

　　Therefore, Lu Bai was not angry just now because “Lu Liye did not faint from hunger and she made a mistake.”

　　Instead, he felt sorry for “hurting her”!

　　Although, she was still afraid of Lu Yanwang at this time… no, she was terrified!

　　But…she suddenly felt: He seemed to be a nice person?

　　[? ]

　　A question mark that didn’t belong to her popped up in her mind.

　　Qin Qingqing reacted immediately and got angry!

　　[you!]

　　[You, you, you escaped halfway and have disappeared until now! You are finally online… System?!]

　　Tongzi knew he was in the wrong, and he knelt down to admit his mistake.

　　[I’m sorry, host.]

　　[Forget it.]

　　Qin Qingqing knew: No matter what, today’s incident had nothing to do with the system.

　　At most, the system is just another cowardly her, right?

　　Besides——

　　She has more important things to ask the system.

　　As she escorted the housekeeper and the doctor out of the bedroom, she asked the system a question:

　　[So, after today’s blunder, does the mission 2 that has been judged as “completed” still count?]

　　[Calculate.]

　　[Even if Lu Bai later said “no divorce”, does that count?]

　　[Um.]

　　The system explained with its mechanical voice.

　　[Host, you don’t know: I am just a machine that issues tasks and determines whether the tasks are completed or not. Those tasks that I determine to be completed or uncompleted will be synchronously transferred to the Novel Administration for archiving.]

　　[and–]

　　[Being saved is equivalent to having completed that part of the story; the judgment result cannot be modified later.]

　　[So, you don’t have to worry: I will not take back your mission rewards.]

　　After the system finished explaining, it still remembered how it had escaped halfway before and comforted Qin Qingqing.

　　[oh.]

　　Qin Qingqing looked relieved.

　　But–

　　The system didn’t know: she was not worried about the task rewards being recovered, but was evaluating the sustainability of the “mending the stable door after the horse has bolted” plan!

　　After all, after this blunder today, there was no change in her identity as “Mrs. Lu”.

　　Isn’t this: the plot has collapsed a little?

　　And last time——

　　Lu Liye did not faint from hunger.

　　The plot collapsed twice in a row; but she finished reading the required lines, avoided the electric shock punishment, and got the pension…

　　Not bad, not bad!

　　The “make up for lost time” plan is 100% feasible~

　　certainly!

　　Qin Qingqing is still very moral!

　　She asked one more question –

　　[What if there is an oolong incident like what happened today? I have finished the required plot lines, and the mission target, Lu Bai, will not divorce due to many factors.]

　　[Will you be punished by the Novel Administration?]

　　[Hmm? No way!]

　　[After all, the plot points in the novel world are numerous and complex, you know… we have room for error.]

　　Tongzi was very touched: the host still cared about him at this time, so he told her everything without hesitation.

　　Qin Qingqing’s eyes lit up!

　　[That’s good~]

　　*

　　“Bang, bang, bang—”

　　Qin Qingqing’s conversation with the system had just ended when there was a knock on the door…

　　She paused, held her waist and went to open the door.

　　Outside the door stood a maid who came to deliver bird’s nests, but she was not the newcomer from yesterday.

　　But…

　　”Lin An?”

　　Qin Qingqing frowned.
