Tang Xi pulled her hand back from Lin Rus and forced a smile, saying, I but now Im Mom and Dads child.

You can have two moms and dads, Lin Ru said, excitedly grabbing Tang Xis hand. Yes, you can! Isnt it better to have two moms and dads to love you? Rourou, please, Im begging you. Please give me a chance to make it up to you.

Tang Xi pulled back her hand again, jumped to her feet and replied hesitantly, I want to be alone. Would you please go out for a while? Id like to think about it.

Seeing the discomfort on her daughters face, Lin Ru knew that she had gone too far, so she hurriedly nodded and said, Okay, I wont force you. Take your time. Dont be tired

Tang Xi reached out and closed the door. It was undeniable that Lin Ru, as a mother, was really good to her child.

Lin Ru stood sadly at the door to Tang Xis room with red eyes, and it was a long time before she turned to leave. When she went downstairs, Yang Jingxian was making soup in the kitchen. Seeing her coming down, Yang Jingxian asked her to sit in the living room. Lin Ru shook her head in response, went to the kitchen door and asked her, Do you usually cook for them?

Lin Ru had rarely cooked since she married because she had spent almost all her time on her company and had no time to cook for her family.

Yang Jingxian replied with a nod, They arent used to take-out food and I dont want to hire servants, so I do the housework myself. Then she took a bunch of vegetables out of the refrigerator to prepare before continuing, Take a seat. The food will be ready in a minute. Shrimp in scallion sauce is Rourous favorite. Jing and Sa went out to buy shrimp. You can watch TV in the living room.

Lin Ru didnt want to stay to see them having their sweet moment, but she was reluctant to leave like this. She smiled and said, Let me help you, though I may not be able to do it well.

A gleam of surprise flickered across Yang Jingxians eyes. Every year, they would return to the Xiao Familys mansion for Chinese New Year. She would go to the Xiao Familys mansion early to instruct the servants on how to prepare the meals, but Lin Ru wouldnt come until the meal was ready. After eating, she would also leave in a hurry. She had always looked so busy. Could she cook?

Seeing the surprise in Yang Jingxians eyes, Lin Ru smiled and said, Before I married Hongyi, I cooked and ate by myself. Although the food was simple, I did know how to cook.

Yang Jingxian said no more and handed Lin Ru the vegetables. Then can you help me prepare the vegetables? Im going to make an asparagus stir-fried meat. Rourou also likes asparagus.

Lin Ru responded with a smile and a nod.

At this moment, Tang Xi was sitting in front of her computer with a sad face. Staring desperately at the ceiling, she rubbed at her hair irritably as she grumbled, Damn, 008, why cant I activate the all-purpose skills?

[System: My delicate little princess, this is the penalty given by the System. You cant use the all-purpose skills for three days after waking up.]

Why?!

[System: Why should I tell you?] His tone sounded somewhat cute despite being robotic.

When Tang Xi heard the voice of the system, the melancholy feeling in her heart immediately disappeared. She laughingly said, Are you doing this on purpose? You just want to upset me.

[Urgent System Prompt: Shutting down due to energy shortage.]

Sh*t, 008, if you dont have enough energy, then Ill run out of electricity. Youre not a robot! Why do you need energy?!

[008: I am a robot.]

Tang Xi didnt want to argue with 008 anymore. She figured Qiao Liang and his men should be on a plane now. She couldnt get through to him now anyway.

[008: Are you dead?]

Tang Xi rolled her eyes. Youre dead! Im alive!

[008: Youre just a dead soul reincarnated in someone elses body.]

F*ck you, 008! Sh*t, how could he taunt her like this? Though what he said was the truth, she was really bummed to hear that.

[008: I said Im a robot. You cant f*ck me. I am an independent system, and an excellent system at that!]

Okay, Excellent System, can you do me a favor? Tang Xi turned over and laid on the bed. Tell me if Qiao Liang comes straight to City A?

The System answered in an arrogant tone.

[008: I wont tell you.]

Tang Xi was angry. 008, f*ck you!

[008: Although I am an excellent system, Im still a robot. How can you f*ck me?!]

Tang Xi simply felt that she was talking about love to a cow. She rolled her eyes and asked, What should I do to make you tell me?

[008: Beg me.]

Tang Xi took a deep breath and did as she was asked. I beg you. She spoke word by word, gnashing her teeth.

[008: Okay, good. But I still wont tell you.]

Tang Xi cursed, 008, d*mn you!

[008: The System has automatically shut down because the host cursed the System. The Intimacy Point between the System and Host has decreased by half. The next startup time is to be determined!]

Tang Xi widened her eyes. 008? What is this Intimacy Point? And what does it mean that the next startup time is to be determined?

Tang Xi silently tried to reboot the System, but sadly found that she really had no way to restart it Did this startup of the System depend on 008s mood?

Oooh, 008, Im sorry. I was wrong! Come out, please. Ill apologize on my knees! Dont play with me! If you had told me about the Intimacy Point earlier, I wouldnt have cursed you. Come out, please!

There was no response.

Having no choice but to accept the reality, Tang Xi whined and went to take a bath. As soon as she entered the bathroom, she heard the door being knocked on. She came out to open the door, only to see Xiao Yao standing before her with a frightened look. The corner of her mouth couldnt help but twitch. Oh, no, she was talking out loud with 008 just now

Xiao Yao looked at Tang Xi, who appeared very gaunt, and asked, What were you whining about?

Tang Xi blinked and replied, Yao, you must have misheard.Of course I wont tell you what I was whining about!

Xiao Yao asked, Who is 008?

008? Do you mean 007? That secret agent? Yao, you heard it wrong. Tang Xi had an urge to strangle herself.Tang Xi, mind your tongue!

Xiao Yao frowned. Is it something that only you fairies have?

Yao, are you dreaming? Tang Xi chuckled and pushed Xiao Yao out. Im going to take a bath.

Xiao Yao pressed against the door, Rourou, we should have a talk. I want to know why you suddenly popped out of nowhere to save me.

Tang Xi paused. Looking at Xiao Yao, who had a serious look on his face, she pursed her lips. Well, what was coming would come. But when she had decided to do what she did, she had already thought of the consequences.

But how should she tell him? Tell him she was a fairy? But how could she keep her lies straight?

Oh, she really shouldnt have told a lie. Once you told a lie, you would have to make up many more lies to cover it up.
