Huh? Isn't This A Galgame?

Smart tracking bracelet?

Is this really the key item for this character?

This was the first time Wen Nan heard about a key item through the system.

As long as he took the bracelet, he would finish the first main quest by obtaining the first piece of the answer sheet.

Even if the exploration degree of other characters failed to reach the standard, he only needed to bind this key item before the countdown of the main quest finished and start his checkpoint within 10 seconds to complete the task.

In other words, this bracelet could at least guarantee his completion of the first main quest.

Thinking of this, Wen Nan raised his hand, just about to take the bracelet when the phone rang.

Ru Huan withdrew her hand, nodded her chin, indicating him to answer the call first.

Wen Nan took out his phone, glanced at the screen, which brightly displayed an incoming call from—[Chenchen (Wife-Limited Edition)].

Seeing the incoming call display, Wen Nan hurriedly hung up the phone.

However, a few seconds later, a series of text messages popped up—

[Chenchen (Wife-Limited Edition): Hung up on me?]

[Chenchen (Wife-Limited Edition): Where are you?]

[Chenchen (Wife-Limited Edition): Husband, you haven't gone out to fool around right after we got married, have you?]

The phone didn't have message hiding settings, and the three messages consecutively popped out, clearly visible to Ru Huan standing in front of Wen Nan.

Wen Nan looked up at the other party, only to see the smile in her eyes now filled with gloom.

"Mr. Ye, so you're already married?"

Ru Huan no longer called Wen Nan "darling," reverting to her original address, her smile gone, the previous ambiguity in her voice vanished, turning stern, "It seems President Mi was right, Mr. Ye has very diverse interests, having a wife at home yet agreeing to come here with me, allowing me to bite you?"

9527: [Please note, the exploration degree of the key item "Young Step-mother with Strong Control Urges" has decreased to 69%.]

Following the system prompt in his mind, Ru Huan put the key item back into her bag and fastened it tightly.

"I misjudged you," Ru Huan said while tidying her clothes, "Luckily, we haven't reached the final step, what happened just now and those words I said, Mr. Ye just forget about them when we walk out this door and pretend nothing occurred, alright?"

9527: [Please note, the exploration degree of the key item "Young Step-mother with Strong Control Urges" has decreased to 61%.]

Watching the plummeting exploration degree, Wen Nan felt utterly helpless.

The duck that almost reached his mouth flew away again.

But since she had taken back the key item, Wen Nan couldn't chase after her to snatch it back—

This first main quest was just the beginning, the theme of this instance is "Co-habitation," even if he snatched the item now, such a method of starting the refresh point couldn't possibly help him and Ru Huan happily complete the subsequent cohabitation task.

As he pondered, Ru Huan already donned her coat and stepped towards the door.

"Click," the door lock opened, Ru Huan had just placed her hand on the door handle when Wen Nan spoke from behind her,

"What if I say, my marriage with Chenchen is merely a deal made out of helplessness, there's no love or marital feelings between us, it's just a temporary transaction, after it ends, we'll return to our single lives, Sister Ru Huan, would you believe it?"

Such words, not to mention Ru Huan, even Wen Nan himself found it a bit laughable when he spoke them out.

It was typical trashy drama dialogue, a line spoken into the ground by many married men attempting affairs.

Perhaps the only difference was that Wen Nan was speaking the truth.

But truth doesn't inherently make it more believable; when Wen Nan told Zhang Dawei the truth on their way to work in the morning, Zhang Dawei simply called Wen Nan "humorous," thinking he was making things up without a script, which said it all.

Yet, even knowing these words were old-fashioned and ineffectual, Wen Nan decided to speak them out.

He thought, perhaps Ru Huan and Zhang Dawei were different, maybe to her, sincerity was the trump card.

However, after listening to his words, Ru Huan was silent for a moment, then let out a mocking snort from her nose, "Mr. Ye, are you treating me like an inexperienced schoolgirl? Keep such lines to deceive Xiao Fei or Wenwen."

Upon finishing, she turned the doorknob and left without looking back.

Wen Nan stood there, gazing at the direction of her departed figure, a moment later, a slow smile curled the corners of his lips.

Ru Huan's attitude was icy, her departure without hesitation left no room for dragging, for a moment, Wen Nan even suspected using the "sincerity" card was a huge mistake.

Yet, the moment the door closed, a system prompt sounded in Wen Nan's mind—

9527: [Congratulations, player, the exploration degree of the key item "Young Step-mother with Strong Control Urges" has increased to 76%.]

Though unable to return to over 90% where it previously was, just one explanation raised Ru Huan's key item exploration degree by 15 points again, clearly, this woman with a contrary mouth and heart, the cold attitude was fake.

She was swayed, Wen Nan's words made her heart flutter.

That was enough.

Wen Nan contentedly put on his coat, taking out his phone again, saw the last message sent by Zhuang Yichen—

[Chenchen (Wife-Limited Edition): I'm in the parking lot below your company, waiting for you for up to 5 minutes.]
