Chapter 1027: The Flash Marriage Heiress (11)

"Why not?"

System: No, no, of course it's fine. Whatever you say goes. He merely wanted to point out that this was truly wicked and devious.

"Did I do anything to them?"

No.

"I merely behave well. Is that wrong?"

No. Whatever Host-sama does is correct.

"Then what are you confused about? I won't say a single bad word about Qian Beibei, nor will I criticize Luo Yicheng. I'm simply becoming someone everyone likes, perfectly flawless and beyond reproach. Is there anything wrong with that?"

No, no, no, absolutely not. Host-sama is right no matter what she does.

"Then that's settled. From your tone, anyone would think I'd done something earth-shattering and utterly insane."

System: Not at all. He was merely curious.

"If Qian Beibei really cuts ties with Luo Yicheng and finds herself a tall, rich, handsome man, then none of this would affect her, right?"

"And if, after a week, Luo Yicheng comes to his senses, realizes he acted impulsively, apologizes to me, compensates me, and then divorces me, then what I'm doing won't affect anything either, right?"

System: But according to the laws of life, people never turn back until they hit a wall.

"As long as one of them keeps a clear head, nothing bad will happen. So what does it have to do with me?"

Suddenly, the system wanted to ask:

Host, what if Luo Yicheng decides to live properly with you? What if he refuses to divorce you and intends to forget Qian Beibei?

Wouldn't you be the one trapped then?

The more he thought about that outcome, the more excited he became.

He was certain that a man like Luo Yicheng could never move his Host-sama's heart.

"With Qian Beibei around, do you think that's possible?"

It was as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him. All his excitement vanished instantly.

That's right.

There was still Qian Beibei.

The Qian Beibei who truly loved Luo Yicheng, but who had been forced by family pressure to abandon him at the most important moment—on their wedding day.

"Qian Beibei knew perfectly well that Niu Jinlan wanted the money for her son, Qian Chengcheng, to buy a house. In this city, what girl would agree to a blind date with a man who didn't own a home? No matter how wronged she felt, she knew full well that those six hundred and sixty thousand yuan in bride price would all go to subsidize her younger brother. Yet she still chose, without hesitation, not to marry Luo Yicheng on their wedding day."

"And in the end, Luo Yicheng actually forgave her. In the years that followed, he continued to support Qian Chengcheng financially."

"If Luo Yicheng didn't have the ability to make money and didn't treasure his hard-earned relationship with Qian Beibei so much, things would've fallen apart long ago."

Tang Guo fell silent for a moment before continuing, "Ultimately, if I don't interfere, their feelings won't become so profound. It was Tang Guo's obsession, her excessive concern for Luo Yicheng, and the resentment in her heart that caused Luo Yicheng and Qian Beibei to rekindle their old love. In fact, it burned more fiercely than before—so fiercely that no one could stop them."

"Love that hasn't weathered hardships is fragile. A single poke and it breaks apart. Without me standing in their way, I'd like to see just how far they can go."

"The Qian family is a family that feeds on their daughter."

And wasn't the Luo family much the same?

Father Luo had died young. If not for Big Sister Luo's sacrifice—marrying a butcher in his thirties at the tender age of eighteen—would Luo Yicheng have been able to reach where he was today?

The difference was that Luo Yicheng had been the beneficiary, while Qian Beibei was the victim.

Perhaps this was karma.

By being with Qian Beibei, Luo Yicheng was destined to become the victim this time—the one whose blood would be sucked dry.
