Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!
Chapter 273: I pulled some points from the system.

Chapter 273: I pulled some points from the system.

An Zixin’s matter came to a close, and Yan Yueqing had Steward Yan see off Yang Mei and Xiao Tao while she took her grandpa and the two little treasures back home first.

Once home, she found an excuse to stroll around the garden.

"System, system, wake up."

System: "Host, what’s the matter?"

"We haven’t seen each other in so many Chapters, I kind of missed you."

System, in silence, "The host doesn’t need to pretend."

"Hehe." Yan Yueqing was just teasing it to liven up the mood before she asked, "Xiaoxiao is my bound cute baby, is there a way I can contact her privately without anyone noticing?"

"No."

"Really? You can always talk to me in my mind, can’t you somehow—"

"That’s different." The system stressed haughtily again, "I am unique!"

"I know."

"Furthermore, my encounter with the host was fate, for others, there’s no such connection, it can’t be forced."

The little guy was rambling on.

Yan Yueqing pondered for a moment, "So what do we do? She is my bound cute baby! Now we both know her dad is a good-for-nothing, what if Song Qinglong gets vicious and harms Xiaoxiao like in the plot, what then?"

System calmly, "If that happens, fate can’t be defied."

"But there are two missions related to Xiaoxiao in my tasks. If something happens to her, won’t those missions also be impossible to complete?"

System: !!!

Yan Yueqing unhurriedly, "Ah, if Tong Bao doesn’t want to help me, that’s fine, but you are the system, it’s not good to break the rules like this~ If the mission is gone, it’s gone, I’ll earn points later..."

A tone filled with grievance.

System: ...

Damn it! I know she’s pretending, but I shamefully believed it!

"That... the Jiang Family has an intelligent tracking technology."

After a moment of silence, the system conceded, "It’s a product of Nianxing Intelligence, you can talk to Steward Jiang about it..."

I can only spoil it up to here!

Any more would be impolite!!!

Yan Yueqing cleared her throat lightly, "Tong Bao, it seems you care a lot about the progress of the tasks, hm? When I mentioned Xiaoxiao’s safety, you said nothing; when I spoke about the missions, you immediately—"

"I am the system, missions are definitely more important than any person or thing."

"Is that so?" Yan Yueqing always felt the system was not being entirely sincere.

Tong Bao’s reaction was quite nuanced...

Speaking of which, she had always been receiving substantial amounts of money from the system, supposedly for the cute baby’s expenses, yet she also benefited quite a lot from it.

And the system’s missions, they had repeatedly been in her best interest.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch...

Being so good to her and always talking about "fate" to describe cause and effect? Yan Yueqing always felt Tong Bao was hiding something.

System: Not good! I’ve been found out.

Yan Yueqing probed, "Just talking to Teacher Jiang is enough, hm? You really don’t have anything else that could help me ensure Xiaoxiao’s safety?"

The system was just short of shaking its virtual head, "Nothing."

"You could have something."

"Really nothing!"

Yan Yueqing sighed, "Alright then."

She reluctantly believed it.

Just as the system was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Yan Yueqing suddenly said sweetly, "Tong Bao~"

This tone, definitely no good news!

System: "Host, please speak."

Trying to keep a formal tone, but it did nothing to fend off Yan Yueqing’s enthusiasm, "Regarding the two tasks related to Xiaoxiao, now we are asking for external help~ What do you think, is there a possibility that the points could be a bit higher after completing the mission?"

System: "Understood, does the host want to fleece some points from this system?"
