Right?
As she approached step by step, cold sweat seeped from Chaoge's forehead. Just when she thought the pressure from her approaching figure would be so great that she would have to retreat to the wall, the pressure on her body suddenly eased.
Vanished without a trace.
It seems like everything I just felt was an illusion.
Subconsciously letting down her guard, she tripped over the blankets that she had folded and then messed up after getting up, and Qin Muge caught her.
A sigh suddenly fell beside her ear. Just as Chaoge was about to push her away, she heard her somewhat helpless voice: "Who told you to answer your own question? Hmm?"
"I just gave you a demonstration of how I would feel if you were with someone else."
Oh, so menacing.
They're all coming for me.
I think it would be more appropriate to interview me at this time, right?
Chaoge desperately wanted to push her away, but the strength around her waist was so tight that Chaoge could only remain in this state of being able to listen but not see her expression.
"It's not an empire, it's not a throne, don't make wild guesses." A soft breath fell on Chaoge's ear, and the slightly itchy feeling didn't last long before it was replaced by an even itchier airflow from the exit.
Accompanied by a seductive tone due to the lowered voice.
However, what Chaoge was thinking at that moment was whether she could change her habit of hugging people all the time.
"Call me a three-minute wonder, or a fickle person, you can even take it as me lying to you—you are the most important." Qin Muge's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, and she leaned closer, the last half of the sentence almost touching Chaoge's earlobe.
Chaoge used one hand to pry her hands off, and with the other hand, she placed her head on her shoulder and leaned back forcefully, staring intently at her face as she said seriously, "Say it again."
It's like you have to stare at her face to tell if she's lying.
Qin Muge originally intended to let go of her, but now, the way she was leaning back made it seem like she would hit her head against the wall if he put her down.
He could only move her hand away from his shoulder and instead support her waist.
"You are the most important." This wasn't the earnest tone that Chaoge used when she was speaking seriously, nor the way she unconsciously stared at the other person.
Qin Muge always spoke in a nonchalant manner, no matter what he said.
But Chaoge finally understood the truth in her words.
Qin Muge wasn't lying; although the content was absurd, it was indeed true.
Chapter 96 The Thirteenth Way to Pursue a Wife
Yan Chaoge thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out why Qin Muge would give that answer.
Still in this dazed state, she decided to clear her head. She took out her phone and called her mother to discuss not taking the relatives' bus, but instead buying a long-distance bus ticket home herself, so as not to bother them and to be able to buy the ticket herself.
Three minutes later, the negotiations were successful.
She walked to the wardrobe, picked out two pairs of pants at random, and put them inside. She walked back, squatted down, and zipped up the suitcase. Halfway through, she turned to look at the person standing next to her: "These are my clothes. Do you want to wear them?"
Although the outfit she was wearing was dustproof and washable, and the material was much more comfortable.
"Okay~" Qin Muge agreed happily, the conversation just now had not affected her mood at all.
Chaoge thought about it for a moment and then gave up. After asking Yaochen about the balance in her card, she took her clothes and went to the small bathroom to change, and also told her, "Let's go out and buy some clothes later."
Qin Muge naturally didn't object, sitting on the high stool where Yaochen had been sitting before, waiting for her, finding the scene quite amusing. Before Chaoge returned here, it was Qin Muge who went to buy things for her, but now that she's here, the roles have reversed.
Being kept by a sugar daddy feels pretty good.
Whether it was because Chaoge had limited funds or because the people she was buying clothes for were different, Qin Muge didn't cause any trouble and cooperated perfectly throughout.
Of course, because of her exceptionally high looks and great figure, she can pull off any outfit and attract attention like a model, which is another matter entirely.
In short, nothing happened during the shopping trip with Qin Muge, and Chaoge's mood improved considerably on the way back.
Yao Chen seemed to have something to take care of, which is why he didn't come out with them.
On the way home, Chaoge casually said, "Let's buy some groceries at the supermarket when we pass by later. I'm tired of takeout."
"What would you like to eat?" Qin Muge's eyes curved into crescents, his red pupils shining brightly in the sunlight, indicating that his mood was just as radiant.
Before Chaoge could come up with an answer, she suddenly felt a malicious gaze sweep over her.
Qin Muge naturally sensed it as well. The threat was insignificant to her. If the other party didn't take any action even after following her to the destination, she naturally wouldn't bother to deal with him.
On the contrary, Chaoge looked around with curious eyes, memorizing the man's appearance as she turned her head. Clearly, she didn't want to deal with this guy in this place. With a murderous aura, she walked through the crowd and locked her gaze on the man. After giving him a warning look, she looked away.
"I don't know, I haven't decided what to eat. What about you, noodles, rice, or dumplings?" Regardless of whether that guy was a human trafficker or some clueless guy on the street, she didn't intend to make a move in this world.
Qin Muge's smile deepened, and he asked jokingly, "I chose you to be the one?"
Chaoge glanced at her, thought for a few seconds, and reluctantly nodded: "Sure, it's been a long time since I've cooked. Let's make it clear, even if it tastes bad, you have to finish it."
"Okay, baby~" Qin Muge could come up with ten different nicknames for her every day, and Chaoge was too lazy to bother with her about it.
While picking out vegetables, Qin Muge said he was going to buy something else, walked to the other side of the shelf, and disappeared from Chaoge's sight.
A few minutes later, the person returned with two cans of yellow peaches in hand. Chao Ge stared at her for a few seconds, then calmly looked away, took the cans from her, and put them in the shopping cart.
When paying the bill, Qin Muge asked, seemingly casually, in the Imperial Common Language, "If you go back, will you go to M1?"
Relying on the fact that no one could understand their conversation, Chaoge casually replied, "Mm." There were still too many things about the Yan family that needed to be clarified, especially the attitude of Grandpa Yan; she had to figure out how he viewed Li Wanfang.
As she walked out of the supermarket, Chaoge clearly sensed that the man who had seemed to have ill intentions had disappeared, but she didn't ask him about it.
Then she changed the subject to something else: "My train ticket is for 7 a.m. tomorrow. Remember to remind me to go to bed early tonight."
Actually, it was just a habit of Yaochen reminding me, and I only realized that I was talking to Qin Muge when the words came out. So I had to pretend that I was originally going to say it to her.
Qin Muge looked at her amusedly. He had originally wanted to tease her a bit, but then he remembered the unpleasant conversation they had had earlier, and replied indulgently, "Okay."
Upon hearing her answer, Chaoge's eyes flashed with a rare hint of surprise. He turned his head away uncomfortably and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.
Qin Muge shook his head slightly, a hint of aggression flashing in his eyes.
So easy to please, she's absolutely adorable.
The next day.
Chaoge was woken up by Yaochen's knocking at five o'clock. She lazily stretched out her hand and yawned. Looking at the white belly of the sky peeking out on the horizon, she reached out and scratched her hair in annoyance.
I really don't want to get up this early when I don't have anything important to do.
If there were a maglev train, she could get there at 6:50 even if she got up at 6:50, the distance was too short to cover. There was no need to rush.
After adapting to a more civilized life, when she returned here, she wasn't thinking about how to adapt well to life here, but rather, after comparing the two, she realized how good the other place was.
It is precisely because I can go back that I can think so recklessly.
The languid girl looked at her own eyes in the mirror and could no longer bear the sight of her current appearance.
With a sigh in her heart, she brushed her teeth and washed her face, then walked back to her room to change clothes, still feeling utterly hopeless.
Qin Muge went to wash up, leaving her alone in the room. When Chaoge was bored, she would communicate with Yaochen directly using voice commands.
"Hey, I was actually thinking for a moment that having a maglev car is so convenient. How about we just use up some energy to teleport back to our hometown?"
Yao Chen stared intently at her until she raised her hands in surrender: "Okay, you don't need to say anything more. I know I'm too dependent. I'll go get a ride, okay?"
It's tragic that the growth of an AI is beyond our control.
"The energy consumed by the teleportation is completely disproportionate to the distance covered. If you want to take Qin Muge with you when you go back, I suggest you don't waste my energy, because there are no suitable mineral resources on Earth for me to replenish my energy." Yao Chen dismissed her extremely lazy idea with great seriousness.
Chaoge nodded vigorously to show that he understood, waiting for him to stop lecturing.
The saying "The early bird catches the worm" holds true; there's some truth to the saying that waking up early makes you stupid all day. Conversely, being nagged by others in the morning is definitely not a pleasant experience.
9:15.
Sitting on the long-distance bus, with nothing to do, Chaoge took out today's newspaper, which she had casually picked up at the station earlier, from her bag, intending to keep up with the times.
It also helps pass the long hours.
She skimmed through several pages but couldn't find anything of interest. Chaoge reached out and pressed her eyelids, which had been twitching ever since Yaochen started nagging her. She didn't quite understand what this slightly chilly feeling on her spine was all about.
So he turned to look at Qin Muge and found her staring thoughtfully at the scenery outside the car window.
During a rest stop at a service area, she looked at the surrounding mountains and frowned slightly, a rare occurrence for her.
While Chaoge felt a sense of wonder, a bad premonition grew stronger in her heart. Just then, she heard Qin Muge say, "Have Yaochen provide me with the driving route for this car."
A pale blue screen appeared in front of the two of them, and naturally only the two of them could see it.
Qin Muge stared at one of the bridges spanning the river for a long time before telling Yaochen to put the map away.
As the car was about to depart again, Qin Muge lagged half a step behind Chaoge. Watching her slightly quicken her pace, she sighed softly and said in an ambiguous tone:
"We should have kept you in M1 back then."
That way, she could see her grandparents and wouldn't have to go to such a faraway place with Luo Qinghe. Meeting the two elders that way would alleviate her obsession and even remind her of this journey home, making Qin Muge feel a rare pang of guilt.
Chaoge stopped walking, turned around, and looked at her calmly for a moment before asking:
"I can't go to them this time, is that right?"
Qin Muge couldn't quite describe the feeling, but having experienced so many life-or-death situations, she knew that Chaoge's journey home might not have been smooth sailing.
Moreover, the fact that this event could give her a bad feeling suggests that it might pose a certain threat to her.
Chaoge knew that she had the same feeling as her, but neither of them could predict why.
Car accident? Landslide?
I knew nothing, but the sense of danger grew stronger the further I went.
So you have no choice but to not follow this vehicle, but here at the service area, you can't take any other vehicle. Unless, Yao Chen uses up his energy to teleport.
Four hours later.
News of the broken bridge across the river appeared on various platforms. Based on the timeline, the long-distance bus they were on should have passed by around that point.
Chaoge sighed, looking at the messages scrolling through her phone with an unreadable expression.
Qin Muge watched her from the side, then suddenly asked, "You've made up your mind, haven't you?"
Chaoge had just gone to a less crowded place and had Yaochen follow her out. Yaochen was currently on the other side of Chaoge and had just finished telling Chaoge the message that came from P4.
Rhett is coming back.
