Red alert? The difficulty of the ultimate mission increased?
What the hell was this?
What did she do wrong?
If she remembered correctly, the ultimate mission was to educate the three little rascals. If the difficulty of the ultimate mission increased, would that not be equaled to killing her?
Bai Wenjing scratched her head with all her might, almost going bald.
It was clearly just the beginning, it was clearly just the current stage, but she was already tortured to the point of wanting to die by these three little rascals… if the difficulty increased, would she have to remove her belt and commit suicide for the system to see?
System: [???]
[The host can only be killed by the system.]
Damn it, the system finally spoke up.
After all this time, the system was saying that if she accepted this bullsh*t mission now, she would not be able to die even if she wanted to?
Fine, she accepted it. She would not kill herself, would she?
Besides, life was so beautiful. If she completed the mission, she would be able to return to her original world.
Hence, Bai Wenjing tried her best to be patient and asked gently, “System, can you give me some hints? For example, why did I create the red alert?”
It was as if she did not do anything wrong just now. If a child made a mistake, was there anything wrong with being taught a lesson by a mother?
No, no, the system said that she was a woman of mercy. Should she rush out and take a stick to beat those three little things up? No, she did not have the ability. She might even be treated as a lunatic.
[System notification, due to the host being useless, the system has issued a sudden mission, ‘fishing expert, father and son will work together to catch fish within 24 hours’. The more fish they catch, the better the reward. Countdown begins now.”
Catch fish? Father and son working together to catch fish? Was the system stupid? Did it not know that her husband had not returned after running for four to five years?
But this mission was very simple. The more fish they caught, the better the reward. It was completely a bonus question.
But this father and son… father and son?
Bai Wenjing thought seriously for a moment, then asked with a serious expression, “This father and son… can they rent a father from outside?”
The system: […]
It seemed that it would not work. Bai Wenjing sighed and asked again, “Then, can we find a stepfather?”
As long as the system said yes, she could go and find a replacement man now.
The system: […]
Ah, ah, ah, it still would not work.
Bai Wenjing felt that she was about to be driven mad, so she could not help but blurt out, “This won’t work, that won’t work either. The baby’s father hasn’t come back for four or five years. What if he died outside?”
Bai Wenjing grumbled as she kneaded the dough. She was completely venting her anger on the dough as the system.
However, what Bai Wenjing did not know was that there was a man in green standing outside the fence.
The man had a good figure. He quietly stared at the brightly lit room in the house. It had been almost five years. He had finally come out of that damned place. He didn’t know how his two babies were doing.
“Alert! Alert! Danger is coming!”
Bai Wenjing, who had just softened the dough, suddenly heard the notification sound in her mind, and her whole body quivered.
“Dad? It’s dad!”
“What?”
The eldest Xue Baijun’s loud voice suddenly sounded. Bai Wenjing turned around and saw a strange man appear behind her.
The man was wrapped in long cyan trees. His slender and handsome face was just like an immortal being in the cyan robe. He had an indescribable sense of dissonance with this shabby thatched cottage.
Xue Baijun called this man ‘father’. Was this not her husband?
Was he the rumored elder of the Xue family, Chang An, who looked like Pan An and left without a trace four or five years ago?
Everything happened too suddenly. Bai Wenjing felt that she could not handle it.
Bai Wenjing sized him up with her eyes. Xue Chang An also looked back at her generously.
After not seeing her for more than four years, this woman in front of him seemed to be… somewhat different.
But when he thought of this woman’s merciless and mean appearance, so what if she was good-looking in her skin? So what if she looked different now? He had not forgotten the time when this shrew had been making trouble and being unreasonable.
He could not tell this woman that he had made money this time. If this woman did not change her nature and took it out to gamble, even if there was a mountain of gold and silver, it would not be enough to fill that hole.
Moreover, his wife was a shrew. She had not properly taught her two children in the first place. If he were to suddenly give her a large sum of money now, what would happen if she were to turn these little guys into prodigals?
Who would have thought that he would not be able to escape after being away for nearly five years? He thought that he had indeed owed this woman. Now that he was able to return, he also planned to take the silver he brought back and take good care of his wife and children for the rest of their lives.
However, Bai Wenjing… Xue Chang An retracted his gaze and recalled Bai Wenjing’s past with all sorts of evil deeds. There was a trace of undetectable disgust on his brows.
“The children have grown so big? Is he the youngest? He’s more than four years old, right?”
This was the last time his mother plotted against him to consummate their marriage. If Bai Wenjing was pregnant, the child should be this big as well.
The moment the deep and magnetic voice was opened, it caused Bai Wenjing to throw away the disgust that she had when she first saw him.
It seemed that the original character had picked up a treasure. Her husband was not only good-looking but also had a nice voice. Even his fingers were clean and slender, which she liked.
But so what if he was good-looking? He was still an irresponsible man, so Bai Wenjing rolled her eyes at Chang An. “Can’t you see with your own eyes?”
Chang An was silent to her words.
This woman was still so fierce.
While he was thinking, a sweet voice came from outside the door. “Brother Chang An…”
The woman was wearing a white dress and had a duck-egg face. Her eyes were watery, and she looked weak and pitiful. She was not as rough as her dark red coarse linen clothes.
If she wanted to be pretty and filial, she really looked like a holy white lotus flower, not to mention that she was dressed like this.
Bai Wenjing was about to explode. This irresponsible man had not only left for four to five years and did not come back, he even brought someone with him when he returned?
“Oh, fortunately, my husband has been away for a few years. He actually still remembers where his home is?”
Bai Wenjing laughed coldly. She then glanced at the woman beside her husband and continued, “He even took in a concubine. Is my husband returning to report to my main wife? My husband still remembers me as the main wife. It is truly my three lifetimes of fortune.”
After saying this, Bai Wenjing secretly sighed. So what if the man was good-looking? So what if he looked smart? He was just a blind scumbag when he met this kind of person. His favorability instantly dropped to zero. Bai Wenjing did not want this kind of scumbag anymore.
Xue Chang An’s face darkened when he heard this. This woman was indeed as bad as before. It was hard to change her nature. Looking at the woman behind him made his head hurt even more.
He had picked this woman up on the road, but did he not chase her away? Why did she quietly follow him to his house?
When he thought of Bai Wenjing’s indiscriminately mocking him, he felt even more aggrieved. So he said coldly, “What nonsense are you saying?”
Xue Chang An felt that something was not right after he said that. Something was not right. Why did Bai Wenjing speak differently now? If it were in the past, she would have pounced over and started cursing.
What was even more wrong was that Bai Wenjing’s gaze was strangely clear. It was no longer as lustful and turbid as before. Facing Bai Wenjing’s clear gaze, he actually panicked.
But why did he panic? That woman was the one who followed him. Could it be that he was afraid that Bai Wenjing would misunderstand?
Therefore, Xue Chang An looked coldly at the woman at the door and asked, “Didn’t I tell you not to follow me? Why are you still following me?”
Bai Wenjing pursed her lips. What did he mean by not letting her follow him? They had arrived home one after the other. They were clearly together.
Moreover, from the way this woman dressed, she knew that this was how the scheming female supporting actress in television was acting.
On the surface, she looked pitiful and delicate, but behind her back, she was a demon. Whether a man could see it or not, she did not know. However, she had keen eyes and could tell at a glance that this woman was not simple-minded.
“Brother Chang An, I beg you to keep me. I have no parents and no home to return to. I have no other choice.”
The woman suddenly knelt down and sobbed, after saying that, she begged Bai Wenjing bitterly, “Sister, I know I’m not worthy to stay in this house. I beg you not to chase me away, even if it’s to reward me with food. I can be your servant…”
It was a good show.
“Wenjing, I saved her by chance on the way. Look…”
Xue Chang An was also in a difficult position. He really could not understand his wife’s temper, so he looked at Bai Wenjing.
“Is that so? So that’s how it is. I really feel sorry for her. My husband’s taste is really good.
“Alright, the two of you don’t need to stand there. Come in.
“It’s really rare that my little thatched cottage welcomes a male master that I haven’t seen in a long time. It’s really an honor.”
Xue Chang An opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but in the end, he swallowed his words.
Why did this woman speak with a knife? But now, he could only brace himself and enter the house.
Back in the house, Bai Wenjing continued to cook and wash her hands, she said nonchalantly, “In the future, don’t call me sister. Others might think that my husband raised a child outside, and don’t call me sister-in-law. It’s neither family nor relatives. Just call me Wenjing. What’s your name?”
She was curious as to what kind of superficial name Bai Lotus usually used in real life.
Bai Lotus’s face was slightly pale. At this time, she said softly and meekly, “Sister… my surname is Bai, and my name is Lotus.”
“Pfft…”
Bai Wenjing could not help but burst out laughing. She did not expect Bai Lotus to really be called Bai Lotus.
It was true. When the Bai Lotus was just a pure white lotus flower, it was such a holy and beautiful thing. But in the end, it slowly changed its flavor.
Bai Wenjing’s smile made the others stunned. They did not understand why this woman was laughing so happily.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. I’m just happy. Look, Bai Lotus, your surname is Bai and my surname is Bai. Yes, it’s still my family.”
Bai Lotus’ expression softened a little, but she could not help but feel jealous.
Although Bai Wenjing was only wearing coarse linen clothes, her seductive and fierce aura was unreservedly displayed in front of her. Even if she had dressed up meticulously, standing in front of Bai Wenjing at this moment, she still looked dim.
One had to know that when she had followed Xue Chang An back then, she had thought that Bai Wenjing was just a country bumpkin. She had never thought that she would look so good.
But so what if she was good-looking? How could a bumpkin compare to her? As long as she stayed here and took down Xue Chang An, Xue Chang An’s mountains of gold and silver would be hers!
“Ah. We only have one bed in our house. Where can the Bai Lotus sleep at night? How about this? There are still some dry straw in the kitchen. I’ll carry it to the shed in our courtyard and lay down a bed to sleep in. It will also be extremely warm.”
That’s right. The shed in the courtyard that she mentioned was a pigsty.. Things like the Bai Lotus were only fit to live in there.
