Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?

Hearing the system prompt, Wen Nan was taken aback.

A new storyline, already triggered?

Indeed, a woman as beautiful as this couldn't possibly be just a regular NPC. Now it seems, this is the "Deadly Femme Fatale" who is one star harder to strategize than Zhuang Yichen?

But wasn't her status that of a "newlywed beauty"? How did she, having just entered the instance not long ago, encounter her husband's incident so early in the morning, becoming widowed?

Could it be that the player whose starting object was randomly assigned to this beautiful woman... ended up boxed?

Could such a seemingly delicate and pitiful woman really cause that "Brother Dapang" to end up boxed?

Indeed, the more beautiful a woman is, the more poisonous she becomes?

While pondering, the system prompt continued in his mind—

9527: [If you accept this storyline and maintain interactions with the strategy character "possessive newlywed beauty," you will have the opportunity to continuously obtain relevant clues in this storyline. Once the clues reach a completion rate of 100%, you will acquire the crucial item related to this storyline. Given that the initial matched player did not find this item, if you accept the crucial item, you will successfully replace that player, shifting the subsequent strategy tasks and storyline background to the residence of the strategy character "possessive newlywed beauty."]

9527: [Player, please confirm if you accept?]

Wen Nan looked at the system instructions, lost in thought.

It seemed that he was facing decision paralysis again.

This pitifully charming young widow in front of him, in terms of looks and figure alone, surpasses even Zhuang Yichen a bit. However, he's a sentimental person, reluctant to easily leave behind Zhuang Yichen, his contractually married wife.

This kind of either-or problem is very challenging for a player like him who wants everything.

Thinking this, Wen Nan asked the system in his mind: [If I accept this storyline and acquire the crucial item within, will future main tasks and cohabitation locations be bound to this character?]

9527: [Acquiring the crucial item will not immediately trigger changes to the player's strategy character, main task, or cohabitation location.]

9527: [If the player successfully acquires more than one crucial item within the limited time of the first main task, you have the right to freely change your strategy character before the first main task is settled.]

9527: [Note, once you select a crucial item, you must, within a ten-second countdown, complete the binding with the strategy character corresponding to certain refresh points stipulated in the instance. Once binding is completed, your player account in this instance will be locked, and you will not be able to continue binding with other strategy characters, please be aware.]

So it means, choices need to be made, but they can be made at the last settlement time.

And Wen Nan's current task is to try his best to find all the strategy characters, trigger as many storylines as possible, find the crucial items, then lay all the characters, storylines, and items together, compare and choose which one to go for.

Just then, a slender hand beside him gently held onto Wen Nan's arm.

Wen Nan came back to his senses, looking at the woman in front of him.

The woman just lightly touched Wen Nan's arm to draw his attention, quickly withdrew her hand, and said cautiously:

"Little Jiujiu, is this inconvenient?"

The woman had made a great effort to take this step, but unexpectedly, her request was apparently too forward, frightening the young brother opposite her into a daze, leaving him there unable to respond for some time.

This made the woman feel constrained and uneasy, and she attempted to excuse her rash behavior:

"I-I have never been great at driving, this morning, leaving in a rush, without eating, and feeling a bit hypoglycemic, on my way here I almost rear-ended several times, and accidentally scraped the car when entering the garage.

"Thinking about all this, I got flustered for a moment, and troubled you.

"You have work to do, it's my fault for being abrupt. I'll just call for a driver, you should head back to the office, don't delay your work. Thank you for your help earlier."

Saying this, the woman quickly brought up the car app, starting to look for a suitable nearby driver.

At the same time, in Wen Nan's mind, the system prompt urged once again—

9527: [Player, please confirm if you accept?]

Wen Nan clicked [Confirm] in the system, stepped forward half a step, and stopped the woman, "Sister, don't call a driver."

The woman looked up at the handsome man in front and held an unsuppressed glimmer of hope that shouldn't be there on her face.

Seeing her close the driver call interface, Wen Nan chuckled lightly, saying, "Please wait for me a moment."

Finished speaking, Wen Nan quickly turned around, jogged over to the elevator entrance, and headed straight back to the top-floor office.

Watching the floor numbers on the elevator above continuously jump upwards, the woman's mood shifted from the earlier tinge of joy back to disappointment—

He's just gone back to the office to find other colleagues to help, isn't he? He doesn't want to have much interaction with me, but out of politeness, he had to lend a hand.

With this thought, the woman turned back to the car, exhausted from the hectic morning rush, she opened the car door, got into the passenger seat to rest briefly.

With her head down, hands twisting the edge of her clothes, a lonely expression flitted across her face, quickly turning into a smile filled with self-mockery and disdain—

What am I doing? Clearly, I just lost my husband this morning, while packing up the office things earlier, I was enveloped by endless sorrow, feeling like the sky was falling. And now, upon seeing this breathtakingly handsome man, I shamelessly approach, thinking of ways to get close to him?
