Liang Shishi said, “Mm, that’s how it goes according to procedure. Since he has a special constitution, before this issue is resolved, he definitely can’t be left outside running around. He’s already been targeted. Even for his personal safety, he must stay within our protection scope.”
“What about Feng Qian?”
“He’s the same. Higher-ups will arrange things based on each person’s specific situation.”
Ruan Yaoyao thought: 【Yeah, although Feng Qian is a thief, the original victim hasn’t pursued the matter anymore, so the government daddy on our side can’t really continue either.】
【That skill of his is actually pretty useful. Even if it’s not needed right now, if we really run into those aliens in the future, it might come in handy.】
【Others can only drive normal vehicles, but he’s different—he can drive not only Blue Star’s vehicles, but even alien spacecraft, and it’s 100% safe. If he runs into alien tech, wouldn’t he succeed every single time?】
Liang Shishi and Ruan Zhihé: “……”
Auntie, your thinking is a bit dangerous!
Stealing cars is illegal!
But… if it’s stealing from invaders, then it’s not stealing—it’s a “merit.”
Alright, suddenly it feels like someone in the future might “steal” credit even more efficiently than them. A little jealous—what do they do?
Speaking of merit, Liang Shishi suddenly thought of Ruan Yaoyao’s so-called “secret admirer,” Ru Anzhi. She glanced at her with some worry: it had only been a few days, it should be fine, right?
【Huh?】
【Why do I feel Shishi and Third Son’s marriage line is fluctuating?】
Ruan Yaoyao froze.
【They’re fine—why would the marriage line have a problem?】
【Shishi has been with me the whole time…】
【Could it be that something happened on Third Son’s side?】
Liang Shishi: “……”
Ru Anzhi, it’s not that I don’t want to help you—it’s your mom who noticed it herself!
But… what is this “marriage line”? She never mentioned it before.
Me and Ru Anzhi?
Wait, wasn’t he just “secretly in love” with me? Could it be that we’re actually destined to be together?
But thinking about the fluctuating marriage line, she couldn’t tell whether she should be happy or cry.
Happy, because it seemed like she could “confirm” Ru Anzhi is her future partner, saving her the trouble of searching.
But now… there was another “peach blossom” beside him.
Cry… because that peach blossom wasn’t something he wanted either. He was just carrying out orders and dealing with it, and he himself was suffering.
After all, when she first found out, she had even mocked him for it.
“Shishi, has Third Son contacted you recently?” Ruan Yaoyao asked thoughtfully.
Liang Shishi shook her head. “He’s on a mission recently. No contact.”
Ruan Zhihé turned to look out the window, pretending she heard nothing. So Auntie… if you want to ask, ask Liang Shishi, don’t ask me.
Ruan Yaoyao didn’t think to ask her and continued to Liang Shishi:
“Is the mission confidential? Can you ask Director Qin? My intuition says something isn’t right.”
Things here were almost wrapped up, and Liang Shishi was hoping Ruan Yaoyao would take more initiative regarding Ru Anzhi, so she immediately said, “Okay, I’ll call Director Qin and ask.”
—
Ruan Yaoyao looked up and suddenly saw that above her Third Son Ru Anzhi’s head, there was a new label floating.
【Others had “a foot above their heads there are gods,” but his was “a foot above his head there is a dead husband.”】
【The full title was “After the Female Lead Rebirth, She Went Completely Crazy 3.”】
【Yes—this was already the third female lead Ru Anzhi had encountered.】
【The first, the beautiful assassin Song Na, had already been detained.】
【The second, the Gu woman Bai Ling’er, had also been detained.】
【The third, the black widow Bali Si, had the cheat ability: “A dead husband hanging three feet above your head.”】
【What did it mean?】
【It meant that when Bali Si activated this skill, various “accidents” would occur to take Ru Anzhi’s life.】
【For example, after meeting her, he had repeatedly encountered “falling signboards,” “falling flower pots,” “falling kitchen knives,” and all kinds of things falling from above.】
【Fortunately, teammates were watching him closely and reminding him in time to dodge—otherwise, even with nine lives, he would’ve already been gone.】
Ru Anzhi: “……”
No, Mom… does this world really have such ridiculous abilities?!
No wonder they knew it was Bali Si doing it, but still couldn’t find how she was doing it—turns out it was a “cheat ability.”
Ru Anzhi didn’t even dare look at her, afraid that the moment he did, she would think “a dead husband is hanging above him,” and something would fall from the ceiling.
At that moment, Bali Si wasn’t even focused on him. Ever since Ruan Yaoyao appeared, she had felt danger and was extremely uneasy, even wanting to escape.
“You are Bali Si, right?” Ruan Yaoyao smiled as she sat across from her.
“I heard everything from my Third Son. I didn’t expect my rough-and-tough Third Son to run into such a delicate little flower like you. I wonder where he got so much luck.”
Her skin was snow-white, so delicate it looked like it would leave a mark with a single touch. Her curved brows sat above a pair of large, watery eyes, clear like a lake, shimmering with innocence and fragility.
Her figure was small and delicate, like a breeze could knock her over. Her hair was soft like willow strands, gently falling over her thin shoulders, carrying a faint fragrance.
If not for the system panel above her head, Ruan Yaoyao might have actually been deceived by her harmless appearance. She looked so innocent that even a woman would feel pity.
But unfortunately, this woman—aside from being a hopeless romantic—also had the “unattainable love” trait.
Bali Si showed a nervous expression, looking at her uneasily.
“Did Anzhi tell you about me? Did he say I’m annoying and unpleasant? I know I can be a bit annoying, but…”
She bit her lip, looking timid.
“But I really like him! Auntie, I don’t ask for anything else. I just want to stay by his side—even without a title is fine. You can treat me like a little roadside flower or grass, as long as I can see him.”
As she spoke, her eyes even turned red. Anyone watching would think Ruan Yaoyao was bullying her.
Liang Shishi, standing beside her, shot Ru Anzhi a glare, then looked at Bali Si with full vigilance.
A woman who could summon a cheat ability at any time—what if she hurt Auntie?!
Ru Anzhi: “……”
Why are you glaring at me?!
I didn’t choose this either!
I’m innocent, okay?!
He secretly glanced at Liang Shishi several times and found that she had shifted from glaring at him to staring intensely at Bali Si, clearly guarding like a wolf guard dog.
Even though he wanted to deceive himself and think she was protecting him, her stance was clearly protecting his mother, Ruan Yaoyao.
Sigh…
Is this really his crush? His future wife?
She doesn’t seem interested in him at all.
“How could that be?” Ruan Yaoyao smiled while dealing with Bali Si, while flipping through the details above her head.
“My Third Son doesn’t like gossiping about others. Even if he dislikes someone, he won’t casually comment. The reason I know about you is because he recently hasn’t come home. I found it strange, so I checked. Turns out he ran into trouble and didn’t want to bring it home, so he stayed outside…”
So understand this clearly: even if he dislikes someone, that someone is you.
And the reason he didn’t come home… was because of you.
Those seemingly polite words directly made it clear that Ru Anzhi disliked her.
