After the Cannon Fodder Awakens, They Marry the Heroine! - Chapter 10

Liu Lu’s expression darkened further. After many emotions cycled across her face, she barely managed to control her expression.

Logically, the Liu family was not much worse than the Li family, and as the favored young daughter of the Liu family, she shouldn’t have been so afraid of Li Mo.

But for some reason, Liu Lu sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Li Mo. Especially when she met Li Mo’s gaze—those emotionless eyes made her feel as if she was merely an inanimate object, not a living person.

“I’m sorry, I must have misheard just now,” Liu Lu chose to yield to her body’s instinct, biting the bullet and conceding to Wen Runan.

Luo Yalan wanted to step out and speak for Liu Lu, but Li Mo, standing next to her, was too intimidating. As a former wicked stepmother, she had been dealt with by Li Mo more than once and was accustomed to staying silent.

Hearing the System prompt that the key plot had been completed, the smile on Wen Runan’s face became much more genuine.

“It’s okay. You just had an auditory hallucination,” Wen Runan acted very graciously. “I won’t hold it against a patient, you can rest assured.”

Liu Lu tightly clenched her fists, her chest overflowing with rage. If Li Mo hadn’t been there, she would have wanted to lunge at Wen Runan.

Beep.Plot completion exceeds standard.Host rewarded with 10 points.

Oh-ho, so there was a reward for completing the plot beyond the standard! That’s great!

Looking at the unconcealed joy on Wen Runan’s face, Li Mo was slightly puzzled. “You seem very happy? Is it because Liu Lu bowed her head to you?”

“Not entirely. I’m happy because you defended me. The feeling of being protected is truly wonderful,” Wen Runan’s smile was exceptionally bright, and her entire being radiated an aura of pleasure.

It’s so much better to follow the plot with Li Mo! Not only did I vent my anger perfectly, but I also got extra points! What a bargain!

Li Mo chuckled, leaning close to Wen Runan’s ear and whispering softly, “If you are willing to be my girlfriend, I’ll always protect you.”

Wen Runan instinctively turned her head, then felt her lips brush past something soft. Both of their eyes showed a trace of surprise.

Realizing what had just happened, Wen Runan couldn’t help but blush, and her heart rate increased slightly.

“Can you?” Li Mo’s eyes were filled with tender affection, gazing at her with gentleness and devotion.

Hearing Li Mo’s question, Wen Runan subconsciously wanted to nod in agreement. How could she refuse the great beauty’s request?

Host,the plot has not yet reached the point where you get together with the‘Male Lead.’If you agree,the key plot point will be judged as a failure.

The “Yes” that was about to come out was swallowed back by Wen Runan. Her beautiful eyes showed a hint of struggle and confusion. “Li Mo, I feel like this progress is a bit too fast. Could you give me a little more time to accept it?”

Li Mo raised an eyebrow. Was this pace still considered fast? She was pushing every step according to plan.

“It seems I was a bit presumptuous,” Li Mo said, taking half a step back and slightly increasing the distance between them. The smile on her face remained, but the disappointment in her eyes wasn’t fully concealed.

“Forget what I just said. Next time, I’ll choose a more suitable time.”

Li Mo’s tone was light, even containing a sense of detachment, as if she wasn’t bothered by the failed confession.

But the more Li Mo acted this way, the more guilty Wen Runan felt. Accepting the other party’s efforts while stalling for time without giving an answer really made her feel like a scumbag!

Perhaps to compensate for her rejection, Wen Runan acted very proactively for the rest of the day. After lunch, she even pulled Li Mo to see a movie.

Since there were no romance movies, she settled for a comedy.

The comedy was of good quality, a combination of a famous director and skilled actors. Not long after it started, it had the entire audience laughing.

Wen Runan was no exception. She was immersed in the viewing, her lips turned up, occasionally laughing out loud.

Li Mo wasn’t very interested in the content on the big screen. Her peripheral vision was fixed on Wen Runan’s profile, observing her facial expressions intently.

Li Mo believed she was observing her prey and, incidentally, revising her hunting plan.

But 033, nestled in Li Mo’s consciousness, saw very clearly that as Wen Runan grinned, amused by the plot, Li Mo’s lips also curled upward. And the upward curve was not small—it was noticeable to anyone seriously watching.

It seems my former Host isn’t without virtues after all. Although she’s careless, lustful, scatterbrained, brave, reckless, and unreliable… at least she has a certain personal charm.

See? Even this big pervert has been moved by her, and her emotions are unconsciously being swayed!

On the other side, Liu Lu grew angrier the more she thought about it after going home. She couldn’t understand what kind of luck that Wen Runan had. Why were Li Beichen and Li Mo, who were mutual enemies, so uniformly tacit in protecting her?

After angrily biting into an apple, Liu Lu opened her contacts and dialed the number she had pinned to the top.

“Hello, Brother Beichen, I ran into Wen Runan today when I was out shopping with Auntie. Why was she with Sister Li Mo? Sister Li Mo even bought her clothes…”

As the call length increased, the tension on Li Beichen’s face tightened. Barely hanging up on Liu Lu, he immediately dialed Wen Runan’s number.

“I’m sorry, the number you dialed is currently unattended. Please try again later.”

Clearly, Wen Runan, who was engrossed in the movie, didn’t notice that the phone in her cross-body bag was lit up.

Li Beichen patiently listened. After hearing the prompt tone for the third time, he finally couldn’t restrain his temper and slammed his phone heavily onto the floor.

“Wen Runan. Li Mo. You’re really something,” Li Beichen said through gritted teeth, word by word.

Li Beichen was not stupid. He had some suspicions before, but because of Wen Runan’s performance, he hadn’t dared to confirm it.

Now that Liu Lu had openly exposed it, he naturally realized what was happening.

If their relationship hadn’t reached a certain level, how could someone like Li Mo give up her holiday to accompany Wen Runan, pay for her purchases, carry her things, and hold her hand!

The destiny power on Li Beichen hadn’t completely dissipated yet. After he sobered up and thought things through, many things became clear.

Wen Runan was nothing like what she claimed—staying by Li Mo’s side to help him scout for information! It was all a lie to fool him! She had been treating him like a fool!

Li Beichen, radiating a low pressure, reached into his pocket to pull out his phone.

Predictably, Li Beichen’s hand came up empty. His phone had just been smashed onto the floor. He didn’t know if it was completely broken, but the screen was definitely beyond repair.

The anger in Li Beichen’s heart burned even hotter. With a dark expression, he went to the study, retrieved his backup phone, and dialed his secretary and his father in succession.

“Dad, do you have time now? I have a plan I want to discuss with you,” Li Beichen’s face was grim, and if one listened closely, one could detect a hint of madness in his voice. “There are many ways we can make Li Mo leave Jiaheng…”
