Chapter 47 Saintess System
Chapter 47 Saintess System
After dropping Qiao Xiao off at her apartment complex, Liu Ye drove away.
"This is outrageous! Someone with assets worth over a hundred million, at three or four in the morning, without a single bodyguard, followed me and begged for mercy?! Wait, how did she know I was here?"
System: "Host, she bought a house here a long time ago. She was originally there to follow Jiang Yu."
Qiao Xiao: "What, changed targets? That's really weird. I wonder how Jiang Yu is doing."
System notification: "Jiang Yu's favorability has increased by 10, and the current favorability is 20."
Qiao Xiao: "This isn't about goodwill, it's about guilt. How is he?"
At the same time, Jiang Yu suddenly realized that the sports car was nowhere to be seen. He regretted letting Qiao Xiao get out of the car too hastily, so he quickly turned the car around and urgently dialed Qiao Xiao's number.
The phone was answered.
"Hello, are you alright? I'm so sorry about earlier. I saw that sports car and thought it was coming for me. Are you alright?"
Qiao Xiao: "I'm going back to my apartment complex. Can you still take me home?"
Jiang Yu: "Okay, please wait a moment, I'll be right there." Because he was in a hurry, his voice was completely revealed, clear and cold, and extremely pleasant to hear.
Qiao Xiao waited for a while and then saw a familiar license plate number.
She got into the car. "Same location, I'll call again, please accept the order."
Jiang Yu: "No need, it was my mistake. I'll take you directly to your destination."
Qiao Xiao frowned slightly: "Accept this order, or I'll get off."
Jiang Yu was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, I understand."
Qiao Xiao: "Judging from your voice, you're still very young, probably younger than me."
Jiang Yu: "No, I have a driver's license."
Qiao Xiao: "..."
“I’ll be driving from Jinyi Community to XX Villa from now on. If you’re driving at the same time every time, let’s add each other as friends so I can let you know in advance.”
Jiang Yu: "Okay."
Qiao Xiao: "Just use the phone number."
Jiang Yu: "Mm."
He was too well-behaved and a bit naive, quite different from the personality I had imagined.
Qiao Xiao left her parking spot and said a few words: "If you have any difficulties, you can talk to me. Maybe I can help you."
Jiang Yu: "Okay, take care."
He watched helplessly as Qiao Xiao entered the villa.
Jiang Yu was like a fox disguised as a sheep. After revealing his identity, his originally gentle and kind eyes were instantly replaced by wildness and cunning, revealing a cruel and dangerous light.
"It's you. You smell exactly the same as that night."
He was absolutely certain that Qiao Xiao was the one who saved him after he was drugged that night.
"Why do you and Yan Rui smell so alike?"
His demeanor was nothing like that of a naive and ignorant teenager facing the college entrance examination; he seemed more like a wild beast that had been in society for many years and wore a soft shell all day long.
So, was it you on that rainy day?
He was puzzled; how could someone as shrewd as himself fall for such a simple trick? It was unbelievable.
He was always very careful to guard against anyone, wondering who else would have the opportunity to harm him.
"It's getting late, I should go to school."
He drove back, exhausted.
"But what is she doing here so early? Or does she already live here?"
Both outcomes foreshadowed situations he was unwilling to face.
She has someone, someone who is very important to her.
Qiao Xiao entered the villa and unlocked the door with her key.
Qiao Xiao: "System, change Gu Jinghe's door."
System: "Okay, automatically deduct one energy point."
Qiao Xiao watched over Gu Jinghe. His sleeping face was like the morning dew on bamboo, clear as a mirror. It was clearly the rich and vibrant autumn scenery of the West, yet it was tinged with the bright and clear colors of the East, pleasing to the eye.
Qiao Xiao: "Gu Jinghe."
Upon hearing the voice, I felt a tremor run through my body, as if my soul had been touched, and it was all a dream.
Gu Jinghe groggily opened his eyes, disregarding his appearance, and immediately stood up, saying, "You're still here."
Qiao Xiao: "Of course, I promise you."
His eyes were like those of a husband in the throes of passionate love, like a blazing furnace.
"Get up, we've made breakfast."
Gu Jinghe: "Okay, wait a minute." He rummaged through the cabinet and found a card. "You can use this bank card first."
Qiao Xiao silently held the card. Indeed, she wanted something for nothing, but…
Qiao Xiao: "You don't owe me anything, you don't need money to repay me." She intentionally handed her the card.
Gu Jinghe: "Are you leaving?"
Qiao Xiao immediately denied it: "No."
He's so sickly, he can't withstand the slightest bit of suffering.
Qiao Xiao: "But I think I should go back to my place. I've stayed here long enough."
Gu Jinghe bit his lip hard, his pale face filled with unspeakable despair, tears streaming down his face, unable to hide his utter despair, and the pain that seemed to tear his internal organs apart.
"It hurts so much, Qiao Xiao, can you not go?" He sought comfort, leaning on Qiao Xiao's shoulder.
Was he so sure she wouldn't refuse him? Was I being too kind?
Qiao Xiao's body stiffened; she neither responded nor refused.
Her actions dealt a heavy blow to Gu Jinghe.
He now wondered if he was having a delusion, mistaking gratitude for love. He was definitely smitten with Qiao Xiao.
However, he was certain that she didn't love him.
"I won't go, okay, I won't go," she whispered, trying to comfort her.
Upon hearing this, Gu Jinghe brazenly embraced her.
Qiao Xiao couldn't help but feel a little touched. After all, this was the first "real person" she had met in this world. It was just that he fell in love with her too easily, and she felt like she had taken advantage of his vulnerability.
But don't worry, Gu Jinghe, I will definitely protect you. You are still different to me.
Finally, she held back her hand, which was about to gently touch his hair.
...
Qiao Xiao: "I should go deal with Lin Feng now. Where is he?"
System: "Host, you have been rescued."
Qiao Xiao: "Tsk tsk, it's really not easy for him not to commit suicide and to live on with his disabled body."
System: "Host, a new invader has entered this world. Be careful."
Qiao Xiao: "New?"
System: "Yes, if her system level is too high, it may affect the world's basic settings."
Qiao Xiao: "What kind of system does she have?"
System: "Saintly Heroine System".
Qiao Xiao: "Hmph, do you have any information about her?"
System: "Currently, we can only detect that her system level is 1."
Qiao Xiao: "Does her storyline conflict with mine?"
System: "Possibly."
Qiao Xiao: "Troublesome. If it's the same person I'm trying to woo, then... it'll be a matter of each person having to rely on their own abilities."
System: "Host, her first target is Qin Yan."
Qiao Xiao: "..."
"Let her be. If she can really help him get rid of his trauma, then let's go for it."
"If she dares to give up halfway and abandon me after starting something, she's a strategist, and I won't let her get away with it."
