"Your takeout has been delivered, enjoy your meal."
After dumping the spicy hot pot and orange juice on the ground, the delivery guy rode away on his electric scooter without looking back.
Afraid that he might accidentally uncover some secret of a powerful family and get killed to keep his mouth shut.
The Qi Mountain Villa was a private manor not open to the public. Usually only a few gatekeepers around.
But today was different. Yi Qingju took a quick glance and saw four or five bodyguards in suits, with arms thicker than her thighs, patrolling around.
Qi Weiran must have come back.
That also meant Yi Qingju’s carefree life in the past six months was completely over today.
A cold autumn breeze blew by, swirling up the fallen leaves on the ground that had not been cleaned up yet.
Crouching by the tree, Yi Qingju started eating the hot spicy hot pot in the autumn wind.
After eating her fill, she belched loudly and threw the trash into the nearest trash can.
She deliberately stood outside for another hour, looked at herself in the front camera of her phone to make sure her face was deathly pale now, before walking in.
The lights in the lobby were bright. As soon as Yi Qingju walked in, Auntie Zhang noticed her.
"Oh my lady, you're finally back. Look how cold your little face is."
Auntie Zhang put a blanket over her shoulders and whispered, "The master is having dinner."
"Also, he found out about Xiao Hua. But he pitied her for just giving birth to piglets and didn't let anyone drive her away."
Yi Qingju was shocked.
Since when did Qi Weiran learn to speak human language!
"Let you ride away."
Dog Qi didn't fail me either...
Today's lamb chops were exceptionally tender. Yi Qingju smelled it as soon as she got near the dining room.
"Master, I'm back..."
Despite the blanket over her shoulders, the girl was still shivering. With only a thin dress on, her body shook. Her bare calves below the skirt were fair and straight.
Qi Weiran only glanced at her, then put his gaze back on the lamb chops in front of him.
Unable to bear it, Auntie Zhang said, "Master, the lady rushed over when she heard you went to the hospital."
Qi Weiran nodded.
She did rush over to listen to his last words.
Seeing his acknowledgment, Auntie Zhang seemed encouraged and continued, "She hasn't eaten all day, and got cold from the wind too. Her health definitely can't stand it."
Hearing this, Qi Weiran looked up at the shivering Yi Qingju and nodded.
He didn't have any interest in abusing women.
Just as he was about to gesture for her to sit across from him——
Suddenly an angry shout came from outside: "Which bastard threw their finished spicy hot pot into my lunch bucket!?"
Yi Qingju shivered.
[That wasn't a trash can?]
Qi Weiran silently put his hand back down, looking at Yi Qingju with deep meaning in his eyes.
The old gardener stomped in angrily, and his legs went soft immediately at the sight of the man sitting at the dining table.
"Mas...master..."
He had just finished working, and wouldn't normally come to the main house. He was just too angry today and wanted to ask Auntie Zhang to explain. He didn't expect the master who hadn't shown his face in six months to be back.
Seeing Yi Qingju standing aside, the old man knew it must be the lady trying to get close to the cold-faced master again.
"Get out!"
Auntie Zhang snapped.
The old man quickly scurried out.
"It's my fault for not managing the servants well. Don't get angry, master." Auntie Zhang pleaded.
Losing his appetite from the interlude, Qi Weiran got up and walked over to Yi Qingju.
His tailored vest outlined his firm waist and wide shoulders, paired with those long legs, it was a figure that made even men drool.
The sudden proximity of his masculine aura made Yi Qingju's body shudder imperceptibly. A flush of red appeared on her pale cheeks as she lowered her eyes, trembling eyelashes, too shy to look up.
She had no choice but to look shiftily at the man's straight, long legs.
[One look is enough to know he's not wearing long underwear]
[When your old rheumatism flares up someday, I'll push you around the square in a wheelchair and watch me dance with the other old folks]
Qi Weiran's gaze lowered to glimpse her bare, fair and straight calf.
How could this woman say that about him?
As if sensing his gaze, Yi Qingju drew her leg in.
[Did he notice my long underwear underneath? This skirt isn't see-through right?]
Qi Weiran: "......"
His amber eyes gazed at her, containing a hint of puzzlement.
Auntie Zhang and Zhang Wei exchanged glances.
That couldn't be right. They'd been married two years, it was already surprising that the master took the initiative to ask about the lady today. And now they were having a staring contest?
Falling in love after marriage?
Under the public gaze, Yi Qingju suddenly looked up with watery tears brimming her cat-like eyes, looking so pitiful.
"Master, please don't be angry. Uncle Liu didn't mean it."
"Are you feeling better from the coughing? Still uncomfortable?"
"Don't worry, if you need it, Qingju is willing to give her heart and lungs for you!"
[A few hundred thousand on the left, a few hundred thousand on the right]
"Master, why did you leave? You rarely come back!" Auntie Zhang called out, seeing him turn and briskly walk away.
Zhang Wei spoke for him, "The master is not staying tonight."
Out of their sight, Yi Qingju revealed a smug smile.
[Old Qi, I can still handle you!]
Qi Weiran paused in his tracks for a moment before finally leaving without turning back.
Only when he was out of the main house did he slowly say, "Find a psychiatrist, as soon as possible."
Zhang Wei was shocked. Could it be that the master sensed his love for the lady, and was temporarily unable to accept it, wanting to pin the blame for these feelings on some psychological problem?
"Yes, but... wasn't the master back today about the young master's business?" He asked.
Qi Weiran casually glanced at him.
Sweat instantly poured down the nearly 2-meter tall muscular man's forehead.
"This subordinate has said too much."
...
After sending Qi Weiran off, Yi Qingju slowly shuffled to the dining table and weakly sat down on the stool.
For some reason, the moment Qi Weiran was out of sight, her whole body began to throb painfully.
Could it be because she didn't sob and cling onto Qi Weiran earlier, so the system determined she was OOC?
Just as she was thinking this, a soft, cautious voice suddenly sounded in her mind.
[Hello? Can you hear me.....]
Goosebumps broke out all over Yi Qingju. Unfortunately she had no strength at all, even twitching a finger was hard. [Who are you?]
Such a soft and cute voice, definitely not that accursed "OOC is unforgivable" system.
The voice in her mind seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and continued [Hello, I am the 'Kill The Unborn Child' system]
Yi Qingju: [....you got the wrong place didn't you, this isn't a palace drama script]
[I don't mean literal abortion....] The system rebutted gently and softly.
[It's like this, the world you're in now is a novel called "The Rich CEO's Little Baby Wife is Flirting to Death Again!"]
[Because there's a problem with the barrier protecting this world, many cross-dressers have their sights on this world. They're attempting to alter the plot, tear up the main couple and we need you to protect this world and bring the main couple together, and stop the scheming cross-dressers from changing the plot]
Yi Qingju exclaimed "Oh" in surprise, then rejected without a second thought [Nope!]
The system silently supplemented [If you don't cooperate, you will die. Without my protection, the "OOC is unforgivable" system will make you accompany Qi Weiran in death when he dies]
That was indeed something the insane male-lead fan system would do...
[Okay, where's your so-called male lead? I'll get him married to the female lead right now head bowed]
The system didn't expect this to happen so quickly and happily replied [He's here~]
As soon as she finished speaking, an arrogant, cool and cute voice suddenly sounded from outside.
"Take my punch! How dare you say there's no Ultraman in this world!!?"
