Became a salted fish pretend heiress and handed over the system Chapter 800 - 786: The Deal

"I’m scared, afraid that if we want to break up later, it won’t be easy. We might end up resentful, better off as we are now." Xia Yue was truly afraid.

[You really have quite an imagination.] The System comnted, realizing she genuinely thought this way.

"Just average." Xia Yue waved her hand dismissively, then continued browsing through the items in the store.

The System didn’t pursue the topic any further, instead joining her in looking through the store’s offerings, periodically recomnding cost-effective options.

Xia Yue made her purchases as suggested and then waited for Yan Mo to return.

It was past ten at night when Yan Mo finally returned to the yard.

"You’re finally back." Hearing footsteps, Xia Yue, who was sitting in the yard waiting for him, imdiately looked towards the doorway. Seeing him, she said happily.

"Were you waiting for here?" Yan Mo, seeing her sitting on the chair in the yard and hearing her words, asked tentatively.

"Yeah, didn’t I say I would wait for you to give you so things?" Xia Yue nodded and stood up from the chair.

Yan Mo approached her and felt a surge of joy inside upon hearing her words.

"These are all for you. You have a Storage Space, so you can put them in there, and they won’t take up space. I bought these especially for you, hoping you won’t need to use them." Xia Yue pointed towards the boxes on the stone table as she spoke to him.

"Thank you." Yan Mo, unable to control himself, hugged Xia Yue. Snapping back to reality, he quickly let her go and took two steps back, apologizing with an embarrassed face, "Sorry, I...I just got too excited and wanted to thank you."

Xia Yue, startled by the hug, felt her mind go blank for a second before realizing she had been released. Her face blushed, and hearing Yan Mo’s apology, she waved her hand, indicating it was okay.

"You’re leaving tomorrow. Get so rest early. I’ll go rest as well. Be careful out there, and co back safely." Xia Yue, rembering he was departing the next day, looked up at him and said.

"I will, I promise." Yan Mo nodded.

"Then, good night." After speaking to him, Xia Yue turned and went back to her room.

Yan Mo watched her close door and then glanced at the boxes on the stone table, feeling warmth in his heart. He thought to himself that after coming back from his mission, he should make an extra effort, maybe he could win her over.

He collected the boxes and prepared to head to his room.

Suddenly, the System appeared, standing on the stone table looking at him.

"Is there sothing you need?" Yan Mo asked as it materialized in front of him.

[Seeing that you’re about to go out and Work hard, I have so good news to cheer you up.] The System told him with a smile.

"What do you want?" Yan Mo felt that if it was bringing up this topic, it must want sothing in return from him.

[Straight to the point. I’ll send you what I want later; it’s all manageable.] The System, pleased with his response, said.

"Alright, what is it that could make so happy?" Having traded a few tis before, Yan Mo knew that the tasks the System asked of him were always feasible.

[The Host likes you, and she also knows that you like her] The System inford him.

"Are you serious!" Yan Mo exclaid excitedly, almost unable to keep his voice down.

[I guarantee it, she told herself. It’s just that for so reasons, she doesn’t want to, or rather, is afraid to start a relationship with you. She feels things are good as they are now.] The System expressed seriously.

"What reasons?" Yan Mo asked urgently, wanting to know why and then tried to recall if he had any bad habits that might have put her off.

[It’s not about you. It’s that she has a bit of an overactive imagination, scaring herself with thoughts that being in a relationship with you will lead to you controlling this and that, making her uncomfortable.] The System saw the look on his face and explained the reason.

"I wouldn’t interfere with her if there was no reason." Yan Mo never felt the need to control his significant other; he believed in their freedom.

[That’s why I said her imagination is a bit too wild. She’s scaring herself. Now that you know the reason, you can have a proper talk with her after completing your mission. Alright, it’s getting late, I’m going off to ’sleep’ as well. I’ve sent you what I want, so don’t you forget it.] The System finished speaking and without waiting for him to continue asking, hopped away.

Even though Yan Mo wanted to inquire further, he didn’t dare to ask Xia Yue just then, so he decided to wait until after completing the task to seek her out.

Knowing that Xia Yue liked him, Yan Mo felt especially good, even his dreams were filled with smiles.
