He hadn't gone all the way.
He simply held her, kissing her again and again.
Lin Muci continuously gasped for air. When she looked up again, only his handsome, clear, and cold eyes remained. It was only when he looked at her that there was endless affection.
His fingertips brushed her hair, strand by strand.
As if devoutly surrendering before her body.
He kissed her starting from her hair.
Her soul seemed to fall into the deep sea.
She pressed close to his skin, hearing him whisper in her ear.
"Sister Muci, I want to devour you. I'm going mad from it."
...
She practically fled from Ling Qianhe's villa. Meanwhile, the system was gloating incessantly.
"Heh heh, host, I think Ling Qianhe did that on purpose! Playing hard to get. He's deliberately provoking you now. If he doesn't completely consume you, based on my experience, he's definitely waiting for you to make the first move!"
"He's so wicked."
When Lin Muci heard the system say this, she found it very strange.
"Your experience?"
"Where does your experience come from?"
The system coughed softly and immediately started to stutter.
"Uh—cough cough. Ah, I just have some experience, and I only impart it to you, host. I wouldn't mention any other little systems."
It actually became proud.
Lin Muci was still feeling a bit dizzy. She had been tormented by Ling Qianhe on stage, and after getting off stage, she was still being tormented by him.
It left her with a sore body.
When would this kind of life ever end?
She thought of the white pill and her spirit instantly perked up. She immediately pressed the system.
"His body... there are absolutely no problems, right?"
The system hummed.
"Yes. Don't worry. His fertility can definitely be restored. It wasn't something he could help, was it, to fight Madam Ling? What if—when he dreamt of you, something indescribable happened... cough cough, and the bedsheets and covers were then found by the servants hired by Madam Ling? That would be a very bad situation."
"So, he's burned all his bridges!"
"And this shows that he has remained chaste for you! He deserves praise!"
"Ling Qianhe will absolutely not collapse, nor will he have illegitimate children."
"It's absolutely impossible for someone to show up five years later with twins, asking him to take responsibility."
"As long as it's your child, and you disagree, he'll get a vasectomy. How touching is that."
Lin Muci gave the system a blank look.
"Didn't he also block my path?"
"Originally... if you systems were more reliable and hadn't made me jump out of this world for five years, I would have wanted to have a first love plot where the pregnant wife runs away."
"The top star's runaway little wife returns with countless hidden identities."
"To build a career, find love, save the yandere, and make the villain cry and beg me to come home."
"How satisfying! A true female lead!"
"But now? Great, the whole thing has collapsed. He abused me so much, and now he's blacked out so severely, chasing me and wanting to imprison me. Can't things get any better?"
The system chuckled foolishly.
"It's not too late for you to have that pregnant wife running away plot now. You just need to switch his medicine. Anyway, he loves you so much, he'll definitely listen to whatever you say."
"Let alone dragon and phoenix twins, he'd be willing to have a dozen, even seven Calabash Brothers!"
Lin Muci pursed her lips. "I'm not willing! Dream on, he'll never get it!"
The car pulled up outside the Lin family residence. She opened the door, and Madam Lin Cuiping winked at her, while also scrutinizing her face with great concern.
"That change box didn't do anything to you, did it?"
The system tsk-tsked, drawing in a breath.
"It seems the hurdle of Ling Qianhe's future mother-in-law won't be easy to overcome."
Lin Muci stepped through the doorway, but to her surprise, there was a guest at home.
Yang Lanyan was there.
Lin Muci froze for a moment. Yang Lanyan adjusted his glasses and asked her calmly.
"Will Xiao Ci be very surprised to see me?"
It wasn't that surprising. It's just that she was still sore all over... Lin Muci sighed inwardly and then asked,
"What is it?"
The doctor smiled.
"I've come to give Xiao Ci an invitation."
"My mentor, Dr. Stephen, has responded. He very much welcomes bright and studious East Asian young girls to join his research group. This can increase the diversity of his research group's ethnic composition—they care a lot about this. After you go, you can call this number."
"I personally have some overseas businesses that can take very good care of Xiao Ci."
Behind his spectacle lenses, his eyes appeared wise and intelligent.
Lin Muci took the invitation from his palm.
However, he showed no intention of leaving.
Lin Muci looked at him, somewhat puzzled.
He smiled, "I heard you've been in contact with that woman He Yunru recently?"
Lin Muci hummed.
As expected, her next role would likely be in a drama produced by He Yunru.
Madam Lin Cuiping had a very good impression of her, and He Yunru herself indeed gave people a feeling of warmth, and Lin Muci was also quite interested in the script.
Yang Lanyan said, "She is indeed a quite shrewd and capable woman. Very impressive, I admire her greatly."
He spoke some idle chatter casually, but inadvertently knocked over a decorative item on Lin Muci's table. It fell right by Lin Muci's feet. She bent down to pick it up, and as she lowered her head, a hickey on her chest was revealed.
Bright red like blood.
The doctor, who had been gentle and refined, suddenly had a strange, bloodthirsty look in his eyes.
His finger trembled, and he tightened his grip on the folder.
When Lin Muci looked up again, he seemed to have returned to his normal self.
"It's getting late, so you should rest well. I'll take my leave now."
He turned and walked towards the exit, took a deep breath, and bid farewell to Lin Cuiping. Lin Cuiping had wanted to invite him to stay for dinner, but he seemed to have something urgent to attend to and left in a hurry.
Lin Muci didn't think much of it, but the system's tone became a silly chuckle.
"Host, you're in trouble now."
Lin Muci started.
"Me? I'm in trouble?"
The system hummed.
"Of course, hahaha, guess what Yang Lanyan's current blackening value is?"
Lin Muci began to feel uneasy.
"How much?"
The system told her proudly.
"If we look at it in percentages, his current blackening value is ninety percent! If it reaches one hundred percent, you're done for. Imprisonment, bondage, and all sorts of little games await you. He won't hesitate to act."
"He's a big shot who owns underground fighting rings!"
"Psychologist is just a cover identity for him."
Lin Muci was still puzzled.
"But... wait a minute."
She couldn't understand.
"Why did he blacken?"
"I didn't say anything, did I?"
The system kindly and generously revealed the answer.
"Because he saw the hickey Ling Qianhe left on you."
Lin Muci was stunned for a moment, and then her cheeks flushed red.
She knew it... Ling Qianhe, that scoundrel! He did it on purpose, to show his possessiveness, to express his ownership, that's why he kissed her so fiercely!
