Tang Xi pulled her hand back from Lin Ru's hand and forced a smile, saying, "I'm .. but now I'm Mom and Dad's son."

"You can have two mothers and a father," said Lin Ru, eagerly grabbing Tang Xi's hand. "Yes you can! Wouldn't it be better to have two mothers and a father to love you? Rourou, please, I beg you. Please give me a chance to redeem it for you.”

Tang Xi retracted her hand, jumped to her feet and replied doubtfully, “I want to be alone. Would you please come out for a minute? I want to think about it.”

Seeing the discomfort on his daughter's face, Lin Ru knew that he had gone too far, so she hurriedly nodded and said, "OK, I won't force you. No need to rush. Don't get tired..”

Tang Xi reached out and closed the door. It was undeniable that Lin Ru as a mother was very kind to her son.

Lin Ru stood sadly at Tang Xi's room door with red eyes, and it took a long time before she turned around to leave. When he got off, Yang Jingxian was making soup in the kitchen. Seeing her coming down, Yang Jingxian asked her to sit in the living room. Lin Ru shook her head in response, went to the kitchen door and asked her, "Do you usually cook for them?"

Lin Ru rarely cooked since she got married because she spent almost all her time in her company and did not have time to cook for her family.

Yang Jingxian replied with a nod, "They're not used to bringing food and I don't want to hire maids, so I do the homework myself." Then he picked up a bunch of vegetables from the fridge to prepare before continuing, “Sit down. The food will be ready in a minute. Shrimp onion sauce is Rourou's favorite. Jing and Sa went to buy shrimp. You can watch TV in the living room.”

Lin Ru didn't want to stay to see them enjoy their sweet moments, but she was reluctant to leave like this. He smiled and said, "Let me help you, even though I may not be able to do well."

A flash of surprise flashed across Yang Jingxian's eyes. Every year, they would return to the Xiao Family home for the Lunar New Year. He would go to the Xiao Family home early to instruct the servants on how to prepare food, but Lin Ru would not come until the food was ready. After eating, he would also leave in a hurry. He always seems very busy. Can he cook?

Seeing the shock in Yang Jingxian's eyes, Lin Ru smiled and said, “Before I married Hongyi, I cooked and ate by myself. Although the food is simple, I know how to cook it.”

Yang Jingxian did not say anything more and handed the vegetables to Lin Ru. “Then can you help me prepare vegetables? I'll make asparagus stir-fried meat. Rourou also likes asparagus.”

Lin Ru replied with a smile and a nod.

At this moment, Tang Xi was sitting in front of her computer with a sad face. Staring at the ceiling desperately, he rubbed his hair in annoyance as he grumbled, "Damn, 008, why can't I activate the versatile skill?"

[System: My gentle little daughter, this is the punishment given by the System. You cannot use versatile skills for three days after waking up.]

"Why?!"

[System: Why should I tell you?] His tone sounded a bit funny even though it was a robot.

When Tang Xi heard the sound of the system, the melancholy feeling in her heart immediately disappeared. He laughingly said, “Are you doing this on purpose? You just want to piss me off.”

[Surgent System Request: Deadly due to lack of energy.]

“Sh*t, 008, if you do not have enough energy, then I will run out of electricity. You are not a robot! Why do you need energy ?!”

[008: I am a robot.]

Tang Xi did not want to argue with 008 anymore. He thought Qiao Liang and his men should be on the plane right now. He can't reach her now anyway.

[008: Are you dead?]

Tang Xi rolled her eyes. "You're dead! I'm alive!"

[008: You are just a dead soul reincarnated in another person's body.]

"Fuck you, 008!"

Shit, how could he mock her like this? Even though what he said was the truth, he was really disappointed to hear it.

"Okay, Great System, can you help me?" Tang Xi turned around and lay on the bed. “Tell me if Qiao Liang comes directly to City A?”

The system replied in an arrogant tone. [008: I won't tell you.]

Tang Xi was angry. "008, damn you!"

[008: Although I am a very good system, I am still a robot. How can you say that?!]

Tang Xi only felt that she was talking about love to a cow. He rolled his eyes and asked, "What should I do to get you to tell me?"

[008: Pleading.]

Tang Xi took a deep breath and did as she asked. "I beg you." He spoke word for word, gritting his teeth.

[008: Okay, good. But I still won't tell you.]

Tang Xi cursed, "008, damn you!"

[008: The system has automatically shut down because the host condemned the System. Intimacy Points between System and Host have been reduced by half. The next startup time will be set!]

Tang Xi widened her eyes. “008? What are these Intimacy Points? And what does it mean that the next startup time should be determined?”

Tang Xi secretly tried to reboot the System, but unfortunately she had no way to restart it... Does the startup of this System depend on the 008 mood?

“Oooh, 008, I'm sorry. I'm wrong! Please out. I'll apologize for kneeling! Don't mess with me! If you had told me about Intimacy Points earlier, I wouldn't have cursed you. Out, please!”

There's no response.

Having no choice but to accept reality, Tang Xi whined and went to take a bath. As soon as she entered the bathroom, she heard the door being knocked. He came out to open the door, only to see Xiao Yao standing in front of him with a frightened look. The corner of his mouth could not help but twitch. Oh, no, he just talked to 008 ...

Xiao Yao looked at Tang Xi, who looked extremely thin, and asked, "What are you complaining about?"

Tang Xi blinked and replied, "Yao, you must have heard wrong." Of course I won't tell you what I'm complaining about!

Xiao Yao asked, "Who is 008?"

“008? What do you mean: 007 The secret agent? Yao, you misheard.” Tang Xi had the urge to strangle herself. Tang Xi, watch your tongue!

Xiao Yao frowned. "Is that something that only fairies have?"

"Yao, are you dreaming?" Tang Xi chuckled and pushed Xiao Yao out. "I'm gonna take a shower."

Xiao Yao pressed on the door, “Rourou, we have to talk. I wonder why you suddenly appeared out of nowhere to save me."

Tang Xi stopped. Looking at Xiao Yao, who had a serious expression on his face, he pursed his lips. Well, what's coming is coming. But when he decided to do what he did, he had already thought about the consequences.

But how should he tell her? Tell her she's a fairy? But how could he keep his lies straight?

Oh, he shouldn't have lied. Once you've lied, you'll have to make more lies to cover it up.
