Chapter 57: Volume 1, Chapter 57: Calling Off the Engagement is Fake, Lightly Thinning Him is Real, Right?

~7 min read 1,360 words

The countdown on the system screen froze at "1".

Then, '1' turned into a life value progress bar.

The data in the red life value bar changed from zero to one percent, five percent, ten percent... the life value bar turned green...

"Congratulations to the Host for restarting life..."

Restarting?

Yun Qiyue was originally waiting for death tragically, and upon hearing this sentence, her consciousness immediately went into the system.

When she saw the life value that was still growing slowly after passing ten percent, Yun Qiyue felt shocked, pleasantly surprised, unbelievable... simply mixed feelings.

Yun Qiyue: "System, didn't you say I can only have one recharger and can't be fickle? Then tell me what's going on now?"

Yun Qiyue almost gritted her teeth and questioned the system.

However, this time the system chose to play dead.

Because this matter was too strange, the system couldn't explain it either, and there was no other way but to play dead.

After waiting for a long time without a response from the system, Yun Qiyue wanted to swear.

Just then, Yun Qiyue suddenly realized a problem, and her scalp went numb.

As her consciousness returned, Yun Qiyue looked at Ye Lanjue with a guilty conscience, only to meet a pair of eyes so furious they were about to spit fire.

At this time, the lips of the two were still tightly pressed together, looking at each other, one pair of eyes full of fury, the other full of guilt.

Staring at each other for a second, with a 'whoosh', the two moved their lips away simultaneously and quickly with great tacit understanding.

"You..." Ye Lanjue was furious.

"I..." Yun Qiyue was in the wrong and wanted to make up for it.

The result of the two speaking at the same time was that Ye Lanjue was even more furious.

Yun Qiyue was even fully focused on guarding, because she was worried that Ye Lanjue would tear her into eight pieces in the next moment because of fury.

"Bang—" with a sound, Ye Lanjue slapped the tea table next to him into fragments.

"Get out—"

A cold word, but it was not directed at Yun Qiyue, but at Moyu and Chen Feng who were standing at the door.

Moyu and Chen Feng came back to their senses from astonishment, didn't have time to think much, and flew out quickly, and very considerately and quickly closed the door of the private room.

Yun Qiyue looked at the closed door, wanting to cry without tears.

Why close the door when they go out?

What if this man couldn't control his emotions, how was she supposed to escape?

Thinking this way, Yun Qiyue looked at the fragments on the ground, only feeling her scalp go numb, and subconsciously swallowed her saliva.

If that slap landed on her, wouldn't she be smashed into pieces?

This man's skill is really not covered, too strong.

She dared to be sure that if she couldn't kill him in one move, she would die miserably.

So such a person really cannot be offended...

"That... let me explain..." Yun Qiyue still wanted to make up for it.

Offending one big shot is enough, offending two is life-threatening.

"Shut up!" Ye Lanjue gritted his teeth and glared at Yun Qiyue.

At this moment, he didn't want to hear Yun Qiyue's voice.

This damn woman, calling off the engagement is fake, lightly thinning him is real, right?

What anxiety, what death breath, what despair... damn it, all of this was fake.

It was all acted out by this woman to fool him.

And he damn well believed it, and let this woman succeed.

This is simply a great humiliation.

"Yun Qiyue, this is your purpose, right? You never intended to really call off the engagement from the beginning, did you?" The cold words without a trace of temperature inexplicably lowered the temperature of the whole space.

Yun Qiyue: "..."

What to do now?

It's a huge misunderstanding.

"That, I really didn't..." Yun Qiyue wanted to struggle.

But facing Ye Lanjue's cold expression of 'no matter what you say, this king won't believe it anymore', she swallowed the words she wanted to explain.

She wasn't a person who liked to talk nonsense either.

Yun Qiyue looked at Ye Lanjue, gradually regained her calmness, and began to weigh the pros and cons in her heart.

Compared to that handsome man from the Ghost Night Pavilion whose name she didn't know and didn't know where to find, it seemed that this Regent in front of her who had a bad temper and was a bit petty was more suitable as a recharger.

Although, it was also quite hard to deal with.

But, she was his fiancée now, and she occupied the right time and place, so... looking at the man who was still furious to the extreme, Yun Qiyue unilaterally decided in her heart that Ye Lanjue would be her exclusive recharger from now on.

Since she decided to let Ye Lanjue be her exclusive recharger, then this marriage naturally couldn't be called off.

Thinking of what she said before, Yun Qiyue couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

It seems it's time for her to show off her acting skills again.

Yun Qiyue looked at Ye Lanjue with sincerity. "Your Highness, no matter if you believe it or not, what I want to say is that I was indeed sincere about wanting to call off the engagement just now, but now I don't want to."

Let's just pretend that calling off the engagement never happened.

Compared to saving her life, marrying Ye Lanjue didn't seem like a big deal.

Especially since this Ye Lanjue might be a handsome man; although his temper was a bit bad, she didn't lose out.

Ye Lanjue didn't speak, just looked at Yun Qiyue coldly, the corners of his lips curling into a cold arc with a bit of mockery.

Sure enough, this woman was playing hard to get from the beginning.

Yun Qiyue ignored the cold mockery on Ye Lanjue's face and continued, "Your Highness, I only thought that loving someone didn't have to care about the morning and evening, so I chose to let go, but just now I suddenly realized that I love you, and I want to be with you all the time, never leaving."

Yun Qiyue looked at Ye Lanjue with deep affection, but in fact, she was almost disgusted by herself.

A special agent, who has to be able to do tasks, be able to cook, be able to handle the hall, and be able to act, but she had never taken on such a cheesy task of saying 'I love you' at every turn.

But fortunately, just treat it as a brand-new challenge.

Ye Lanjue listened to Yun Qiyue's words, and there was a moment of strangeness in his heart that even he didn't notice, but the emotion in his eyes was still cold to the bone, looking at Yun Qiyue with a look of being amused and angry, asking, "You love this king?"

Yun Qiyue: "Yes!" Yun Qiyue nodded, but didn't want to repeat the second 'I love you'.

Ye Lanjue got up upon hearing this and forced his way toward Yun Qiyue step by step.

Every step he got closer to Yun Qiyue, Yun Qiyue could feel a deep sense of oppression sweeping toward her.

But Yun Qiyue didn't move her eyes away from Ye Lanjue because of this.

Until Ye Lanjue got closer and closer to Yun Qiyue, so close that they could hear each other's breathing.

Ye Lanjue reached out and pinched Yun Qiyue's chin, their faces got closer, and at the same time, that oppressive feeling made Yun Qiyue feel a tightness in her chest.

Ye Lanjue then slowly asked, "Then tell this king, what do you love about this king?"

"I naturally..." Yun Qiyue prepared to brainlessly compliment.

However, Ye Lanjue seemed to see through her intention, his voice almost popping out from his teeth, "You dare to say one insincere word and try it, see if this king will pinch you to death." ===== CHAPTER 58 =====
