Snatching Women from the Male Lead

Chapter 83

Nan Yue stopped, and the two leaned their heads together to look at the message.

A headline popped up: Shocking! Ye Chenxi, CEO of Qiyue Games, has become vegetative after a car crash. Former chairman of Nan Group committed suicide by jumping off a building!

The end of the news article said: The person who hit Ye Chenxi fled the scene and has escaped to Vietnam.

502 asked, "Host, what are you planning to do with that thing in your thermos?"

Qin Zhao said, "It's been buried long ago, what thermos?"

502 said, "6."

After reading it, a sense of fatigue came over Qin Zhao as a heavy burden was finally released. She threw down her phone with a sigh, "It's over with this matter."

Nan Yue also lay down, resting her head on Qin Zhao's waist, and asked, "Ye Chenxi's matter, was it your doing?"

"Yes."

"I'm very glad I chose to be with you."

"Why?"

"Look at how you charged at me initially. If you didn't get your way, my fate could have been worse than Ye Chenxi's."

Qin Zhao reassured her, "That won't happen. I'm not a psychopath.

Even if you didn't end up with me, nothing would have happened. You and Ye Chenxi are different.

You are special to me."

Nan Yue said, "Qin Zhao, I feel so happy."

Three years later.

Qin Zhao signed the documents, stretched, and said to her assistant, "Help me tidy up my desk. I'm off work."

The assistant said, "Yes, Director Qin."

Qin Zhao walked out of the office.

"Good afternoon, Madam Chairwoman."

"Good day, Madam Chairwoman..."

Amidst the greetings, she arrived at Nan Yue's office door.

She happened to run into Nan Yue's assistant coming out. The assistant greeted Qin Zhao first, then said, "Director Qin, President Nan said she was feeling a little uncomfortable today, so she got off work early."

"I see, thanks for letting me know."

Qin Zhao was worried about Nan Yue's health and hurried towards the elevator.

Behind her there were hushed discussions:

"I'm so envious of President Nan. Look at how worried Director Qin is about her!"

"I'm envious of Director Qin. She has such a beautiful sister."

"You're right. They're a match made in heaven. If I had that kind of fate, I'd laugh myself awake from dreams!"

"Stop dreaming. Work hard, and when you get to Director Qin's position, beauties will also throw themselves at you."

"Sigh...that's impossible."

...

Qin Zhao rushed back home and pushed open the door to their new house. She was about to burst into the bedroom to check on Nan Yue when she noticed something off about the atmosphere!

The dark living room suddenly lit up with a dramatic spotlight, enveloping Nan Yue within it.

She was wearing a white mermaid dress, looking like an angel, holding a calla lily in her hands and walking towards Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao swallowed and thought Nan Yue looked even more beautiful after just a few hours.

502 spoke up, "That's because the yellow waste in your mind is taking effect!"

Qin Zhao retorted, "Nonsense, I don't have any!"

Nan Yue walked up close. "Darling, do you know what day it is today?"

Qin Zhao counted on her fingers. "Anniversary of us getting together? Anniversary of our first kiss? Anniversary of our first night?

None of those!"

She asked blankly, "What day is it?"

Nan Yue smiled and replied, "It's the third anniversary of me spanking you."

Qin Zhao: A black line appeared on her head.

She forced out a smile. "Then we should celebrate properly."

Nan Yue happily and excitedly pulled Qin Zhao's arm, saying, "Right! I think we should celebrate grandly too!"

On the way to the dining table, Nan Yue fondly described how wonderful she felt spanking Qin Zhao.

How supple Qin Zhao's butt was!

Qin Zhao rolled her eyes and thought: As long as she's happy.

Nan Yue had prepared a candlelight dinner.

After three years of practice, her cooking skills had greatly improved. Although Qin Zhao had some objections to the dinner theme, she still looked forward to Nan Yue's dishes.

Just as Qin Zhao picked up a piece of homemade tofu to put in her mouth, Nan Yue swiftly pinched her lips and said, "Wait, don't eat yet!"

Qin Zhao asked unclearly, "Waff wong? Pooifon in food?" (What's wrong? Poison in food?)

Nan Yue shook her head. "Three years ago, you said that after everything was over, you would tell me about your background. You've been putting it off for so long, it's time to answer me now."

Qin Zhao removed Nan Yue's hand and said, "If you really want to know, your worldview may collapse. So I've always been at a loss for how to bring it up."

Nan Yue nodded without hesitation. "The unsatisfied desire for knowledge is a torment.

More unbearable than a collapsed worldview."

"Alright then."

Qin Zhao drank some water and told Nan Yue everything—that Nan Yue was a character in a book, and Qin Zhao was a transmigrator who had taken over the original host's body.

Nan Yue fell silent for a long time.

Qin Zhao could sense her dejection.

Finding out suddenly that you were a character created by someone must have been hard to accept. Nan Yue's resilience was already considered strong. Someone more psychologically fragile could have gone insane right then.

Qin Zhao held Nan Yue's hand and asked, "You're a character from a book, and I'm a wandering ghost. Who do you think is more pitiful?"

Nan Yue's eyes moved as she said, "No, you're not a wandering ghost. You're the real Qin Zhao."

Qin Zhao said, "No matter what I am, I can accept it.

Hinduism says the world is a dream of Brahma's. I really like this idea.

To me, whether it's the world in books or the real world, human life is like a dream—we don't know where we came from or where we're going.

So there's no need to agonize over which world we live in. People in the real world can't explain this clearly either.

Life is Zhuang Zhou's butterfly dream, or a butterfly dreaming it's Zhuang Zhou. There's not much difference.

What's important is how we see ourselves.

If you acknowledge your own existence, then your existence is justified."

Nan Yue hugged Qin Zhao and whispered in her ear, "Thank you for telling me all this.

I've seen a movie called The Matrix.

At first, the male lead didn't believe it when the female lead told him that he wasn't living in reality. Not until he drove and found the edge of the world.

Of course I believe you, but my knowledge all comes from the author. I want to have my own world.

At the same time, I also want to know if this world has an edge. Will you come with me to take a look?"

Qin Zhao said: "Three years ago, you promised to give me a chance to punish you.

I've decided. My punishment for you is...to accompany me for life."

"Alright."

On October 25th the same year, at the airport.

Shen Yixuan hugged Qin Zhao tightly and cried, "Waaah, are you really leaving? Can't you stay? I can't bear to see you go!"

Qin Zhao patted her back and said, "It's not like we're never coming back. I'm leaving the company to all of you, you have to manage it well.

I'm relying on you all for my travel expenses."

Xiao Ning's eyes were misty. "We know, Sister Qin."

Qiao Lin was also about to cry but Qin Zhao stopped her, "No crying. At this rate I won't make it to the plane from comforting each of you!"

Qiao Lin choked back her tears resentfully.

Nan Yue hugged Qiao Lin and said, "Sis, I'll send you postcards. Remember to take care of yourself."

Qiao Lin still couldn't hold back her tears and sobbed in response, "Okay, little sis. I like you calling me sis. Say it a few more times, let me hear it."

Nan Yue: Coldly ignored her.

The broadcast sounded: Passengers taking LX9027 to Switzerland, please pay attention!

Passengers who have not gone through security check yet, please go through as soon as possible and wait at the boarding gate. The plane will take off in 40 minutes. Thank you.

Qin Zhao and Nan Yue let go of the people in their arms and stood together.

Qin Zhao said, "It's time for us to go. Farewell, everyone."

After speaking, under the tearful gazes of Shen Yixuan, Xiao Ning and Qiao Lin, they headed towards the boarding gate...

In the following 50 years, the two spent their time travelling all over the world, leaving footprints everywhere.

At the age of 79, Qin Zhao passed away from illness in a seaside villa in Australia. That same year, Nan Yue also left with her.

"Host, wake up!"

502 shouted loudly in the main spirit space, calling for Qin Zhao!

Qin Zhao's soul gradually awakened.

She was disoriented for a while and asked, "Where is this?"

502 panicked, "Host, don't tell me your senile dementia got imprinted onto your soul!"

When Qin Zhao was 75 she had senile dementia, and Nan Yue had been the one taking care of her.

During those years, 502 hid in Qin Zhao's consciousness space without daring to make a peep.

Afraid that Qin Zhao would think she was both senile and schizophrenic, get desperate, and do something crazy.

After holding it in for so long, 502 was finally able to speak with Qin Zhao's soul again. Seeing her still muddled, 502 became extremely anxious.

After a good while, Qin Zhao asked, "Where's Nan Yue?"

502 said, "She passed away."

"I'm asking where her soul went?"

502: "Originally, people in the little world did not have souls. After death, they would dissipate into heaven and earth.

But according to the laws of nature, as long as someone remembers her, her soul will not disappear.

And Nan Yue exists in your memories, allowing her to break through the shackles of the little world.

Therefore, her soul is in the process of being generated.

This will take time. If you can complete 100 million points worth of tasks, you may be able to meet her in reality.

But don't expect to date her.

The age difference between you two is at least 22 years, which is your real age."

Qin Zhao said: "Knowing that she has an afterlife, I'm already very satisfied.

But clearly remembering her yet being unable to meet makes my heart ache terribly.

Is there any solution?"

502: "In order not to affect the host's task process in the next world, the system provides two ways to preserve memories.

One is to seal it in the host's sea of ??awareness.

The other is to extract and store it in the main god space.

Which one does the host want?"

Qin Zhao replied: "The first one."

"Okay."

A few minutes later, Nan Yue disappeared from Qin Zhao's memories, as 502 took her to the next task world.

Qin Zhao felt his body was especially tired, and guessed that this body must be asleep.

He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw moonlight spilling into the antique room.

Before Qin Zhao could take a closer look, his vision was blocked by a woman who rushed up to hug him...
