146. Chapter 146: Xixi, you lied to me

"Xixi."

Yan Yu stepped out of his flashy sports car, and after taking off his sunglasses, he revealed a smile so brilliant it rivaled the sun, nearly blinding Luo Xixi.

"..." Luo Xixi's mouth twitched as she looked at the man who resembled a peacock in front of her. She didn't even want to complain about what he was trying to achieve by being so ostentatious as a big celebrity. Did he want them all to end up on the trending list?

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Luo Xixi staring at him without speaking, Yan Yu walked up to her with his long legs, tilted his head, and asked with a feigned innocent look: "Why do you keep staring at me? Did a flower bloom on my face?"

Luo Xixi held her forehead in a headache. She took a long breath, then pulled Yan Yu over, glanced in the direction he had driven from, and asked, turning back: "You just came over like this? Can you not be so flashy? Sheng Tinglan was just here earlier; you two didn't run into each other, did you?"

"Sheng Tinglan?"

Yan Yu's gaze narrowed, the smile on his face instantly vanishing. He stiffened his face and said unhappily: "That dog thing came to find you first thing in the morning? He's certainly proactive! Doesn't he know everyone is still sleeping in the morning? Doesn't he know he's disturbing people's rest? He's clearly a self-centered, willful guy who's used to being overbearing and doesn't know how to be considerate at all!"

Luo Xixi: "..."

Do you have to be so obvious when bad-mouthing someone?

"What did he want with you? It wouldn't be him begging for forgiveness again, would it?"

Luo Xixi remembered the confession this person had made to her last night. Seeing his sour, jealous appearance, she suddenly realized that in the past, it was always this guy who angered her, and now that she had finally found an opportunity, she would see how she could anger him back!

Luo Xixi curled the corner of her lips, blinked her eyes, and said: "Otherwise? He was practically kneeling in front of me, crying and begging for my forgiveness. His attitude was so sincere, and he even specifically apologized to my mom and dad, saying he would definitely give his all and be devoted until his death for whatever they needed!"

!!!

Although Yan Yu had expected early on that that dog thing could be completely shameless to win Xixi back, he was still successfully angered. He gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "He's faking it! Xixi, it's not like you don't know how good that dog thing is at pretending! Haven't you suffered enough from the bitterness of love in your previous life?"

"Is that so?"

Luo Xixi stared at Yan Yu's resentful-husband look, feeling like she was blooming with joy inside, but on the surface, she pretended to be considering it, rubbing her chin and saying: "But I feel like he was really very sincere. Besides, in the previous life, he couldn't help it; he was being controlled, after all."

"Controlled my foot! He didn't break free from the Transmigrator's control over him and still followed the other party's expectations to hurt you in all sorts of ways—that just shows his love for you is nothing special!"

"Is that so?"

"How could it not be?!!"

Yan Yu pulled Luo Xixi's body to face him, his expression somewhat nervous, and asked: "Are you tempted again? Just because he said he couldn't help it, you've fallen in love with him again? Luo Xixi, if you are so easily bewitched by that man, then you must have a hole in your brain!!"

"What? Why do you always say I have a hole in my brain?"

"If you like him again, you have a hole in your brain!!!"

"..."

Seeing that Yan Yu was almost broken by her, Luo Xixi couldn't hold it back anymore and burst out laughing, "Hahaha..."

Yan Yu: "?"

Luo Xixi was laughing to the point of tears and said to Yan Yu: "You're so stupid. Didn't I tell you? I only want to save Tong'er and my eldest brother quickly right now; everything else has to be put aside. How could I be swayed by Sheng Tinglan's few words? Do I look that stupid? I lied to you; I just wanted to see you get angry."

"..."

Realizing he had been played by this little girl.

Yan Yu was both angry and amused. He reached out his long arm, hooked Luo Xixi's neck to pull her over, and pounded her head with his fist, saying: "Alright, Luo Xixi, I was worried to death! And it turns out you were just playing with me! Why are you so bad?"

Luo Xixi hurriedly struggled, laughing and saying righteously: "It's because you always used to anger me; I'm just paying you back in your own coin!"

"Paying me back in my own coin, huh! I've helped you so much and you don't remember any of it, right? You're asking for a beating!"

The two of them tossed about outside the house.

Luo Xixi hurriedly called a stop: "Alright, alright! What are you doing outside the house! It's affecting the public image! Let go of me now!"

At this moment, they were twisted together in a very unsightly posture.

Yan Yu didn't listen to her, raised an eyebrow, and retorted: "Then will you still anger me in the future?"

"Look at what you're saying, if you didn't provoke me first, why would I anger you?"

"Hmm? Still talking back?"

"Alright, alright, I won't anger you, okay?"

Luo Xixi hurriedly changed the subject and said: "Did you actually see Sheng Tinglan just now?"

"No!"

Yan Yu said: "If I had seen that dog thing, would I be so surprised when you mentioned him?"

"That's true."

Luo Xixi felt relieved and said again: "Let's hurry inside; I still have things to tell you, and my mom, dad, and second brother are still confused right now. I have to talk to them!"

"Fine."

Play is play, but there was still serious business, and Yan Yu could distinguish between what was important.

The two of them hurried into the house.

And neither Luo Xixi nor Yan Yu knew that while Yan Yu indeed hadn't run into Sheng Tinglan when he arrived, Sheng Tinglan hadn't gone far before he had the driver turn back.

He stopped a few hundred meters away from the Luo Family home.

At this moment, the car interior was deathly silent, and the cold pressure released by the man was enough to almost freeze the driver in front.

"Sheng, President Sheng..."

The driver turned his head, looked at the man stutteringly, and asked: "Where are we going now? If we keep staying here, the security guards will come over in a while."

"..."

Sheng Tinglan did not respond to the driver. His pitch-black eyes seemed to have a black vortex swirling and rolling within them at this moment. His gaze was fixed firmly on the direction of the Luo Family home, his hand resting on the armrest, the veins on the back of his hand bulging, seemingly confirming just how angry this man, who appeared calm on the surface, truly was.

Xixi lied to him.

She had clearly promised him just a moment ago that she wouldn't have any more dealings with Yan Yu, yet the moment he left, she turned around and went to mess around with that man again.

Why treat him like this?

Why, lie to him?

Xixi.

Why on earth are you doing this?

【System.】

Sheng Tinglan called out to the system.

【Host, what are your instructions?】

The "Help You Reach the Peak of Life" System is online.

Previously, the "Help You Reach the Peak of Life" System and Sheng Tinglan had a very ordinary cooperative relationship; as long as it was a task arranged by it, Sheng Tinglan would complete it very efficiently, and almost every time, he would even over-complete it.

It could be said that for the "Help You Reach the Peak of Life" System, Sheng Tinglan was the most perfect Host it had brought through so many sessions, and they had always cooperated very happily.

But starting from yesterday when Sheng Tinglan directly cut off his connection with it, the "Help You Reach the Peak of Life" System realized that this Host of its, although he looked very normal, was not ordinarily crazy at his core.

The things he did, either he would remain silent until he made a move, or he would stun everyone with his first move; it was the same with breaking the rules, either he wouldn't break them, or he would pull off something huge.

【What happened at your System Headquarters these past two days?】

Sheng Tinglan asked straight to the point.

【This...】

The "Help You Reach the Peak of Life" System froze directly; it did not expect the Host to ask about the Headquarters right away, and it was extremely surprised, asking: 【Host, why are you asking about this?】
