The usually jovial and carefree atmosphere in Ying Manor's drawing room is currently tense and heavy at the moment, if the gloomy aura surrounding the exquisitely dressed five certain people sitting on the room is any indication.
Even the house workers working on the mansion couldn't help but resent this Eldest Miss's sudden arrival for destroying such harmonious atmosphere in the mansion. But they could only complain in their hearts and didn't dare to voice them out. After all, only a fool would ever dream of provoking this golden Buddha ah.
Ignoring the obvious awkwardness hanging in the air, Ying Yue sat regally on the chair looking cold and indifferent as ever. Like a She-Emperor receiving her daily royal subjects on the Imperial Hall.
She ignored the suppressed longing looks given by the original owner's parents, she didn't pay attention to the constant yammering of the obviously nervous yet still overly excited female lead Ying Yi, whilst also pretending not to notice the subtle glances that Lu Jincheng secretly sends her way.
[Ding- Congratulations Host for receiving the first side task: Have the Capture Target lost his cool in front of the family. Does Host accepts the mission?]
“W-wait, you ghost! Why didn't I know that there will be side tasks in this mission?!” Ying Yue slandered the system in her heart. Don't tell her that it did forgot about it again?! Spicy chicken feet! Useless piece of bug!
[So-sorry, Host. E System isn't also aware of this ah. The Host could only get side tasks when triggered by the world plot anyways.] Seeing the black lines on its Host's forehead, E System immediately started to sweat dropped. [B-but Host this is also very helpful for you! Not only could it assist Host in regards of getting closer to the Capture Target but Host could also gain some extra points to open the System Store! There, Host could find different things that may help Host to quicken the process of finishing the main task!]
In the end, E System couldn't help but also beam in excitement. Of course, it wouldn't dare to admit to it's Host that those extra collected points could also help the system upgrade by leaps and bounds.
Just kidding. Of course, it still depends on its Host competency. But based on the Host's bar stats alone showing the Host's poor luck and intelligence, the system fears that it's beautiful dream could only shatter to pieces.
It's so pitiful ah~
If Ying Yue could heard the system's thought, I'm afraid she wouldn't hesitate to strangle the greedy piece of bug to pieces. Sadly, she can't. So she could only grin wolfishly in her heart. System Store? Is it possibly what she actually think it is? Like those golden fingers that the heroines in the transmigration novels that she had read before?
Aiya~ seems like this E System isn't as useless and incompetent as she originally thought ah...
“What is that 'thing' still doing here?” Ying Yue proceeded to say.
The already tense atmosphere became more tense at the moment.
Even without mentioning any name, anyone with a brain could decipher whom she's pertaining to. Ying parents stiffened in an instant while Ying Yi only gape like a fish in response. Probably not knowing what to say next.
The subject of her ridicule, however, still maintained his polite smile and his eyes shows a look of helplessness and tolerance towards her. Ying Yue would've believe his act if it weren't for the system's prompt that her favorable value was deducted three points. Cry, cry, cry. Why is this side task so difficult ah?
“S-sister... Th-that... Uhm...” Ying Yi has a look of embarrassment as she stuttered. She looks like she may tear up at any given moment.
Others may think that someone had bullied her but Ying Yue knows that this female lead is really kind-hearted person and couldn't help watching others getting ridiculed at let alone her very own lover.
Ying Yue ignored her and unabashedly stared at Lu Jincheng's direction instead. She coldly raised a brow as if asking, 'Well?'
Lu Jincheng silently gritted his teeth. He is definitely seething inside but couldn't afford to show any fluctuations in his face. What had he possibly done wrongly with this woman to receive such attitude perhaps?
They didn't even knew each other until now.
Is it because he just happened to be her little sister's lover? Even so, if things were according to his logic then he thinks he doesn't deserve such amount of hostility from her.
As a proud scion of the elite Lu family, getting humiliated like that for the first time, it stands to reason that Lu Jincheng's mood at the moment is in the verge of collapsing. Fortunately reason prevents him from acting rashly in front of others.
If it weren't for his girlfriend and her parents existence at the moment, I'm afraid he wouldn't know what he'll do to this shameless woman in front of him.
Just you wait, woman. Just you wait...
Ying Yue who doesn't knew about his complicated thoughts at the moment continued, “Not leaving yet? Or shall I throw you out myself?”
Lu Jincheng clenched his fists lightly.
Calm down... She's your woman's sister... Calm down... She's your woman's sister... Calm down... He repeated the mantra in his head like a broken cord, successfully maintaining his gentle and calm facade.
He calmly stood up from the sofa still wearing that typically polite smile of his. “I apologize if I had troubled the Ying family, then, I shall go.”
Ying parents wanted to prevent him from leaving but remembering the situation earlier, in the end, they could only give him an embarrassed smile and remained silent.
After Ying Yi accompanied Lu Jincheng at the door and kept on apologizing, Ying Yue didn't say anything else and could only dejectedly went upstairs to find the original owner's room according to the memory.
She started lamenting in her heart. Why must it be called a Novice World when even the side task is considerably this difficult? She thought this world would be easy seeing that she's just a beginner and all.
Now, she's really starting to doubt if she perhaps got scammed by the spicy chicken system.
Nevertheless, Ying Yue still chose to persist in her heart. After all she believes the saying that if you work hard, at the end of the day, you'll got to eat a tofu!
E System could only breath a helpless sigh. I'm afraid it didn't knew where the host got her strange brain tonic this time.
