Dreaming of Divorcing Her (GL) - Chapter 5

“Wen Qing, long time no see…”

In the empty bathroom, the system’s flowery voice suddenly echoed.

Wen Qing, who had just finished showering, immediately grabbed a bath towel to cover her chest, feigning the appearance of a little girl frightened pale: “Little Flower~ You suddenly appearing while someone is taking a bath, are you coveting this sister’s beauty? Even if you love this sister so much you can’t help yourself, you can’t be this unreserved~”

“…”

Was this woman going to die if she wasn’t narcissistic?!

After Wen Qing sent the text message to Jiang Yunjuan in the bar, Yu Xinlan took her back to her home in the northern district of Yujiang City.

The Jiang family mansion was in the south of the city. Wen Qing had deliberately bought a house in the north, wanting to be as far away from Jiang Yunjuan as possible.

Seeing that Little Flower wasn’t speaking, Wen Qing ignored it and walked out of the bathroom wrapped in her bathrobe.

She stood in front of the vanity mirror, carefully admiring her unprecedentedly beautiful face before slowly applying a beauty mask. She then patted it in meticulously a few times before feeling satisfied.

After finishing everything, she finally asked, “Jiang Yunjuan told me she’s going to Yushan on a business trip in three days. According to the plot, she’s definitely going to have a car accident then, right?”

Little Flower: “You sound rather happy?”

“Why wouldn’t I be? You were the one who told me that as long as I could hold out until Su Liyang appeared, I’d complete the mission, right?”

Wen Qing was extremely happy.

“I was even kind enough to remind her to buy a few more accident insurance policies just now. Oh dear, I wonder if she’ll listen to me? If the beneficiary could be my name…”

Little Flower mercilessly retorted, “Can you still act like a human being?”

Wen Qing smiled and continued, “But even if my name isn’t added, this accident will still make Jiang Yunjuan a lot of money, so not buying it would really be a loss…”

“Wen Qing!” Little Flower roared at her, exasperated, “Don’t you think you’re OOC (Out Of Character)! Aren’t you basically telling Jiang Yunjuan that you’re hoping she’ll have a car accident and die right there and then?”

OOC?

Heh, she would rather believe that Jiang Yunjuan’s text message was telling her that she had messed up. She couldn’t believe Yu Xinlan’s theory that Jiang Yunjuan liked her.

What a joke!

Jiang Yunjuan liking her?

What did Jiang Yunjuan see in her?

Did she like that she could play the erhu? Or that she played the suona well?

Thinking of this, Wen Qing said nonchalantly, “You wouldn’t understand this, would you? Anyway, Jiang Yunjuan is the female lead of this book. She has the Mary Sue halo. Even if she gets into a multiple car pile-up and gets continuously run over, she won’t die, and she’ll even come out without a scratch, do you believe it?”

Little Flower: “…”

“Relax, relax, she’ll just get amnesia,” Wen Qing covered her mouth and smiled like a fox. “Besides, if she loses her memory, she definitely won’t remember what I said to her. When we get divorced then, I’ll never have anything to do with her again.”

“Then…” Little Flower began to hesitate, “It’s not necessarily… Actually…”

Hearing it stammering, Wen Qing ripped off the unfinished face mask and asked with some trepidation, “What do you mean? Don’t tell me Jiang Yunjuan really fell in love with me and doesn’t want to divorce me!”

“You really don’t need to be so narcissistic…”

“That’s good, that’s good!!” Wen Qing desperately took deep breaths, “You scared me to death! This sister is the woman the female lead will never get!”

“…”

Little Flower was speechless again.

After a long silence, it finally said, “I came today just to tell you that I just detected energy fluctuations in a small area of Yushan.”

Wen Qing didn’t quite understand.

“So?”

“Yushan is an important location for Jiang Yunjuan and Su Liyang’s first meeting. Even extremely subtle energy fluctuations could cause changes in the plot.”

Plot changes?

Wen Qing suddenly had a bad feeling.

“Little Flower, can you speak in a way that I can understand?”

Little Flower patiently explained, “Simply put, like dominoes, even small changes can lead to a series of effects on the overall plot. I suspect… maybe some unknown variable has appeared, and this unknown variable is very likely to affect the subsequent plot.”

An unknown variable that could have a huge impact on the plot?

Wen Qing asked it in confusion, “What kind of strange thing is that?”

“I’m not sure…” Little Flower’s voice grew softer and softer, “My system level is too low, I don’t have the authority to check…”

“…”

Wen Qing took a deep breath, feeling suffocated by it, so angry she wanted to curse.

“It’s okay, Little Flower, don’t be inferior, it’s not your fault that your level is low.”

She insincerely comforted the weak, pitiful, helpless little system that was sad because of its low level.

“You must firmly believe that every system will one day become a main god ruling a territory. This sister also believes that Aisin Gioro. Xuanye. Little Flower completely has this ability, just like every old mother believes that her child can get a perfect score.”

“Wuwuwu…” Little Flower seemed to be moved to tears, “Thank you, Wen Qing, you’re really the most considerate host I’ve ever seen.”

Wen Qing waved her hand magnanimously, “Hey, one for all, all for one, right? This sister is just that kind. Next time this sister needs to buy cheats from you, remember to give me a 50% discount, okay?”

Little Flower chuckled awkwardly, “Ahem, with our relationship, talking about money hurts our feelings.”

“…”

She knew this damned system wasn’t that easy to talk to!

Three years ago, Wen Qing transmigrated into a book.

The moment she realized she had become the vicious original wife, her heart turned to ashes, and she just wanted to die on the spot.

Little Flower was the system she had been bound to at that time, its full name being [Top-Up Transmigration System – Aisin Gioro. Xuanye. Little Flower].

She had always been unable to understand why the word “Top-Up” was added before the name of the transmigration system.

It wasn’t until later, when she consulted Little Flower about the stock market trends and Little Flower quoted her a price of 88.88 million, that she completely understood.

To this day, the more than 80 million she had been scammed out of hadn’t been recovered…

Others transmigrated, and she transmigrated too!

Others bought cheats with points, but she bought cheats with her life!

This damned money was her life!!

Wen Qing wanted to cry but had no tears. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Seeing that her expression was already quite unpleasant, Little Flower said with some guilt, “But… seeing as you kindly comforted me, I feel it’s necessary to violate my professional ethics and give you a heads-up…”

Wen Qing instantly tore off her friendly facade, “Spit it out!”

“It’s just… I can no longer detect Su Liyang’s existence. To be safe, you’d better go to Yushan with Jiang Yunjuan.”

Wen Qing: “What the hell are you talking about?”

Wanting her to go to Yushan with Jiang Yunjuan?

No way in hell!

Besides, Jiang Yunjuan had the female lead halo. Even if she was repeatedly run over by a landslide, she probably wouldn’t die. But she, the vicious villain, had no halo at all!

If she encountered a landslide, she would really be done for!!!

“No way! Impossible!” Wen Qing refused expressionlessly, “I… won’t… go!”

“That…”

“You should still reconsider. What if Jiang Yunjuan really dies in Yushan because of that unknown variable, and Su Liyang doesn’t appear in time to save her? Then this book world will completely collapse, and you will cease to exist.”

“…”

“…”

Now that things had been said so clearly, what else could she say?

Fine…

She would go!!

She would follow along, okay!!!!!!!

••••

Early the next morning, Wen Qing drove to the south of the city with huge dark circles under her eyes.

She hadn’t slept well all night. The thought of Little Flower telling her to follow Jiang Yunjuan to Yushan made her ache all over. What if she really encountered a landslide and, instead of hitting Jiang Yunjuan, it hit her? Tsk, just thinking about it made her hurt all over!

But what could she do?

Little Flower had clearly stated that if Jiang Yunjuan died, the book world would collapse, and she would die with it.

Fortunately, she had thought of a plan. In any case, she absolutely couldn’t go to Yushan with Jiang Yunjuan. After all, Jiang Yunjuan would definitely have a car accident. She just needed to secretly follow Jiang Yunjuan.

Thinking of this, her mood didn’t seem so bad anymore.

When she arrived at the Jiang residence, the rain that had fallen all night had already stopped, and the sun was out.

She parked her car, put on her sunglasses, and walked in on her stilettos with a “clack, clack, clack.”

The Jiang residence was a somewhat old-fashioned Western classical-style house with a huge area. It was said that it was bought from an American by the previous head of the Jiang family, who was Jiang Yunjuan’s grandfather.

“Madam, good morning.”

Wen Qing walked through the winding corridors from the main entrance of the Jiang residence, feeling like she was in a maze. Plus, she accidentally stepped in mud when passing through the small garden, so her mood wasn’t very good.

Facing the old butler’s greeting, Wen Qing tried her best to suppress her anger and said, “Jiang Yunjuan called me this morning and asked me to come over.”

The old butler nodded with a smile, “Yes, yes, President Jiang has already instructed me.”

Wen Qing asked, “Where is she?”

The old butler replied, “President Jiang is in a morning meeting and won’t be back until noon.”

“…”

Wen Qing almost gritted her teeth before asking in as calm a tone as possible, “In other words, Jiang Yunjuan called me at 5 o’clock this morning and asked me to come over, but now she wants me to wait for her all morning?”

The old butler nodded with a smile, “Yes, President Jiang said she was afraid you weren’t prepared and wanted to give you time to practice first.”

Wen Qing was baffled, “Practice what?”

The old butler just smiled and didn’t speak.

Wen Qing walked into the living room. It was still the familiar spacious living room. The old butler instructed two maids to serve her tea, fruit, and pastries. Wen Qing had driven over early in the morning and was really hungry. Not caring about her image, she ate a few bites. It was a familiar taste.

However, she suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

The old butler had been gone for ten minutes.

She finished the tea in the delicate porcelain cup, and the old butler returned.

But in his hands, he was actually carrying a wooden tray.

The things on the tray were bulging, covered with a golden silk cloth on top, making it impossible to see what was inside.

The old butler stopped in front of her, holding the tray.

His expression was still smiling, but at this moment, Wen Qing felt inexplicably terrified.

The old butler said with a smile, “Madam, President Jiang said that she wants you to personally lift the cover.”

Wen Qing had a bad feeling, “What exactly is inside?”

The old butler bowed slightly, his expression inscrutable, “You’ll know once you open it.”

Wen Qing raised her arm, lifting the cover with suspicion.

She saw that below, there was clearly a golden, slippery, and shiny…

Suona.
