Chapter 4The Villain's Unwanted Wife

I went downstairs absentmindedly.

The housekeeper reheated breakfast for me and mentioned that the plate of red bean cakes was made by Julian personally.

I inexplicably wanted to laugh.

The first gift I ever gave Julian was red bean cakes I made myself.

[System, Julian knows I planned to divorce him, but he seems... to have chosen to give me another chance.]

[So what? Don't tell me you choose to stay by his side and wait for death.]

My hand holding the red bean cake paused, and I pursed my lips:

[...I didn't think that, just... I feel it's hard to make a move now. Julian seems to be able to read my mind.]

The System sighed:

[He's cheating.]

[Huh?]

[This was originally a novel world. Maybe... you know about things like 'bullet screen comments'?]

[I know. What... did Julian see?]

The System sighed again:

[Let me show you one: "Your wife doesn't love you at all, you're about to become a wild man nobody wants~"]

[...]

I rubbed my forehead:

[Can't we stop those people from posting comments?]

[Can't. They are esteemed VIPs. My reach isn't that long.]

[...Then I'm screwed? Everything I do is like a live broadcast...]

[Cheer up. Severe spoilers are automatically blocked by the backend.]

[Like what?]

[Like you running away. And, I will help you.]

[How?]

[I can act as a communication simulator to help you send messages, avoiding your phone being monitored by Julian and leaking information.]

I took a bite of the red bean cake, chewing slowly.

Julian made it much better than I did.

Soft and sweet, sweet to the heart.

[System, please send a message to Adrian. Just say... when he returns, I want to see him.]

[Jenny (original name: Jiang Ningyi)! What can these few words accomplish?]

The System's tone was full of disappointment.

I poked the red bean cake, feeling guilty:

[Let's test his attitude first. If it really doesn't work... I'll think of another way.]
