TMLSG -Chapter 121 We Get Back Together

111 finally understood why its host had failed before! Who could have imagined that the male lead actually liked scheming girls!

What a…such an unusual preference!

Then didn’t Tang Zhen’s previous scheming actions happen to perfectly match the male lead’s taste?

While Tang Zhen was still immersed in Ren Yanjing’s earlier words—“I just like people who are scheming”—Ren Yanjing took the hand she had been resting on her knee and said clearly, “Baby, let’s get back together, okay?”

Tang Zhen was slightly stunned.

This was the second time Ren Yanjing had asked to reconcile. The last time he used Cantonese, and she pretended not to understand and muddled through. But this time, he used Mandarin, so there was no way she could claim she didn’t understand.

After two days, he was asking to get back together again.

Last time, Tang Zhen followed 111’s advice and didn’t respond.

But this time, she wanted to listen to her own heart.

If they got back together and tried again, and she still couldn’t have a future with the male lead, then at least she wouldn’t have any regrets. If they broke up again, she would be able to accept it more calmly.

Facing Ren Yanjing’s expectant gaze, Tang Zhen softly said, “Okay.”

Ren Yanjing didn’t expect her to agree so directly. The joy in his eyes overflowed. He leaned forward and pulled her tightly into his arms, calling softly, “Wife.”

Tang Zhen said to 111, “Santiao, I don’t want to have any regrets.”

111 replied, 【Zhen, as long as you’re happy.】

As soon as it finished speaking, a mechanical voice sounded in both Tang Zhen and 111’s minds at the same time.

【Updating final mission…】

【Mission update complete.】

More than half a month later, on the first day Tang Zhen and Ren Yanjing got back together, she received a new mission again—

【Mission Thirty-Three: Anger Ren Yanjing.】

After receiving the new mission, both Tang Zhen and 111 fell silent.

Previously, Mission Thirty-Three was to firmly establish the persona of being shallow and vain, but the mission had never been completed. In addition, Tang Zhen was no longer in the role of the female supporting character, so the new mission directly replaced the old one.

111 analyzed, 【Zhen, the direction of the mission seems to have changed.】

Before, Tang Zhen was the scheming female supporting character. Now the mission was more straightforward.

Making the male lead angry… it was obviously still aiming toward a breakup.

As long as Tang Zhen hadn’t obtained the heroine’s halo, her relationship with Ren Yanjing would always have breaking up as its ultimate goal.

But Tang Zhen’s mindset was much better now. In a soft voice she said,

“Santiao, look on the bright side. I can farm life points from Ren Yanjing again.”

Previously she had only gained 37 life points in total, which wasn’t much. Now she could finally continue accumulating them.

111 added, 【And Zhen, this mission can also test what the male lead’s temper is really like. If he gets angry easily, then when you break up with him later, you won’t need to feel reluctant.】

It could only be said that both the host and the system had become much calmer now. Their attitude toward missions was more relaxed—do them if they wanted to, ignore them if they didn’t.

However, Tang Zhen happened to have something she wanted to ask Ren Yanjing. She wrinkled her nose slightly and softly asked,

“Ren Yanjing, when you said that just now… did you think the cat robot was really broken by me?”

111 immediately cheered her on, saying, 【Zhen, great question!】

Bringing up old matters was a big taboo between couples! It was the perfect chance to test the male lead’s temper.

Ren Yanjing denied it immediately.

“No.”

Tang Zhen’s beautiful eyes kept looking at him seriously.

“Then what did you mean?”

When he said he liked people who were scheming, wasn’t that indirectly implying that she was scheming?

For the first time, Ren Yanjing experienced the feeling of having a headache. How should he explain it? His original intention in saying that wasn’t to suspect her.

After pondering for a moment, he said firmly, “Baby, I believe you.”

Just six simple words, yet they made Tang Zhen’s heart feel both sour and warm.

Ren Yanjing said he believed her.

“Did you ever doubt me?” Even for a second?

Ren Yanjing replied, “No.”

What robot could she possibly want that she didn’t already have? Whatever she wanted, he could make it for her.

A few seconds later, Ren Yanjing continued, “Actually, just now I was thinking about whether I should develop another cat-shaped robot.”

If he did develop it, he would probably name it “Zhen Cute.”

Tang Zhen’s eyes instantly lit up, clearly attracted by what he said. Her voice sounded sweet, as if coated with sugar.

“Then are you going to develop it?”

A smile appeared in Ren Yanjing’s eyes. “Not for now.”

Ah…

“Why?” Tang Zhen’s tone turned disappointed. She tilted her head, not understanding why he had the idea but then gave it up.

Ren Yanjing lightly scraped the tip of her nose with his finger but didn’t answer.

Why?

Of course it was because there was already a beautiful little cat at home.

The beautiful little cat was cute without even realizing it. There was no need for a second “Zhen Cute” at home.

Because one cat was already enough.

After sending Tang Zhen home, Ren Yanjing first called his father’s legal team and asked them to send a lawyer’s letter to Lu Yu from the Media Arts department.

Then he called the person in charge of the laboratory and asked Engineer Shen whether it was possible to determine the cause of the cat robot’s damage.

Engineer Shen was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone before saying, “It’s rather difficult. It will take some time.”

Ren Yanjing pressed further, “About how long?”

Engineer Shen didn’t answer directly. Instead, he said, “Actually, this matter isn’t that serious. After some time, people will forget about it, and the laboratory won’t pursue it either.”

Ren Yanjing’s tone remained calm.

“But I don’t want it to remain unclear.”

As long as there was no conclusion, others would keep suspecting that Tang Zhen was the one who damaged the robot.

Even though other people’s opinions didn’t really matter, he still didn’t want her to suffer an unjust accusation.

The reason Engineer Shen said that was because he was worried that if the investigation eventually proved Tang Zhen did it, things would become awkward. He laughed and asked, “You trust your girlfriend that much?”

Ren Yanjing answered firmly, “Yes.”

“Alright then. I’ll think of a way to find out the exact cause of the robot’s damage.”

After hanging up, Engineer Shen walked a few steps toward Li Ran and the others and said, “You’re not needed here anymore. It’s getting late, so go home early.”

Li Ran had been observing the cut surface of the cat’s tail. Hearing this, she looked at him and asked, “Engineer Shen, what’s wrong?”

He didn’t explain much.

“There’s no need to repair it. Just leave it like this.”

Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

Why was it suddenly unnecessary to repair it?

So they were just leaving it like that?

But Engineer Shen clearly had no intention of explaining. He picked up the cat’s tail and walked away.

Li Ran and the others were completely puzzled.

However, since the person in charge had already said so, they naturally had no reason to stay.

—

Two days later, Lu Yu received a lawyer’s letter from the law firm.

She panicked immediately and called Li Ran with trembling hands and legs.

“A-Ran, Ren Yanjing really sent me a lawyer’s letter!”

It was the first time she had ever received one, and she was completely flustered, her speech becoming incoherent.

“What’s wrong with him? Didn’t you apologize for me already? He’s so scheming! At the time he didn’t say anything, so I thought the matter had passed. But it didn’t?”

“He’s really so scheming!”

Li Ran took a deep breath.

“A-Yu, don’t panic. I’ll ask about the situation.”

She couldn’t contact Ren Yanjing directly, but contacting Zhang Mian wasn’t difficult.

Regarding the matter, Zhang Mian only said one sentence: “What’s the point of apologizing to the captain?”

The person who was slandered wasn’t Ren Yanjing.

If you didn’t even apologize to the right person, how could it count as an apology?

Li Ran was silent for a moment before saying, “I understand. I’ll have her apologize to Tang Zhen.”

After saying that, she couldn’t help clenching her right hand and gritting her teeth as she added, “Ask Ren Yanjing something for me—was it really necessary?”

Just because of a small misunderstanding, he directly sent someone a lawyer’s letter. Did he really have to go that far?

A few seconds later, Zhang Mian’s relaxed, casual voice came from the other end of the phone.

“I asked him for you. Our captain said—It was necessary.”

Very necessary.
