Chapter 450: Seventies: The Mature Husband 50

“Mom, what’s wrong?” The little boy, who had already grown into an adult, stepped forward.

“Mom has been feeling a little uneasy these past few days. If something happens to your dad and me, you must take good care of yourself,” Tang Wan said.

Hearing this, the little boy’s expression darkened.

“Mom, don’t talk nonsense. You and Dad are both going to live to be a hundred.”

“Hahaha, just pretend Mom is talking nonsense, then.” Tang Wan laughed.

……

A few days later, Xue Xingtong finally returned home after being busy at the company for a long time.

When the little boy saw him return, he waved him over.

Xue Xingtong walked over. “What’s wrong?”

“Dad, Mom was acting a little strange a few days ago. She talked to me as though she were giving me her last words. You should try to find out what’s going on when you get a chance. I couldn’t get anything out of her.”

Hearing this, Xue Xingtong nodded.

“I understand. Tomorrow I’ll stay with your mom. You go to the company and help out.”

“Oh.”

……

Afterward, Xue Xingtong went inside.

Tang Wan was playing Tetris in the room at this moment.

She was already forty years old, but the passage of time seemed to have left very few traces on her face, making her still look like a young woman in her twenties.

Xue Xingtong, on the other hand, had worked himself too hard and already had a few strands of white hair.

“Wanwan, I’m home.” Xue Xingtong came over and put his arm around her shoulders.

Tang Wan immediately turned around with a smile.

“Tongtong.”

“I haven’t been home these past few days. Did you not sleep well?” Xue Xingtong asked gently.

Tang Wan nodded.

“Yeah. So from now on, no matter how busy you are, you have to come home early and sleep with me.”

“Mm, I will.” Xue Xingtong smiled.

Then he picked her up and carried her toward the bed.

……

After dinner that evening, Xue Xingtong took Tang Wan out for a walk.

However, not long after the two of them went downstairs, a married couple on the top floor started arguing and throwing knives downward, causing knives to rain from the sky.

The thinner one pierced directly into Tang Wan’s forehead, while the broader one struck Xue Xingtong in the neck.

“Tongtong!”

“Wanwan…” Xue Xingtong was still conscious.

At the same time, his gaze suddenly became deep and intense. Then, using all his remaining strength, he said to Tang Wan,

“We’ll… see each other… in the next world…”

Tang Wan was stunned.

The next moment, her soul left the mission world.

……

“Little Cutie, did you hear that? Tongtong said we’ll see each other in the next world! He really does exist! Ahhh!” Tang Wan said excitedly.

Little Cutie was also wearing a baffled expression.

“But the Main System didn’t detect anything wrong. There’s absolutely no way he could be another mission-taker.”

“Who cares whether he’s a mission-taker? As long as he’s my husband, that’s all that matters. Oh, right, you absolutely cannot tell the Main System about this. What if it finds out and causes trouble?” Tang Wan suddenly became cautious.

“But even if I don’t say anything, I can’t hide it from the Main System,” Little Cutie said innocently.

“What?! Then what if the Main System finds out and destroys Tongtong?!” Tang Wan became nervous.

“This… Ah, wait. The Main System just replied to me.” Little Cutie suddenly spoke.

“What did it say?”

“The Main System says that none of the Host’s previous missions contained any system loopholes. Please continue working hard, Host!” Little Cutie scratched its head.

“No system loopholes? Then that means Tongtong’s existence is legitimate.” Tang Wan rested her chin on her hand and pondered.

Judging from what had happened in this world, Tongtong might have been transmigrated into the villain’s body halfway through, just like her. The difference was that he had lost his memories, so after transmigrating, he acted according to the villain’s established personality. Then, just before leaving the mission world, he would regain his memories.

If that was the case, then if they died a little more slowly in the next world, she might be able to find out who he really was.
