Main wife? Not the wife. But Main wife.
Yang Qingxi read the line again. Then again.
And then one more ti just to make sure she wasn’t misunderstanding sothing.
The more she looked at it, the darker her expression beca. A faint vein appeared on her forehead.
’Main wife?’
’What exactly was that supposed to an?’
’Did that imply there would be side wives too?’
This bastard hadn’t even confessed yet, and he was already planning a harem?
The sweetness she had felt from the earlier notifications imdiately lost more than half its effectiveness.
anwhile, the culprit remained completely unaware.
Su Mo was simply relieved that she had finally woken up.
The fear and anxiety that had accumulated throughout the night were finally beginning to fade away.
Unfortunately for him, Yang Qingxi had already reached a conclusion. This man deserved another punch.
The only reason she didn’t throw one imdiately was that he looked genuinely exhausted.
After calming herself down, she listened quietly as Su Mo recounted everything that had happened during the night.
From the strange flute lody. The intruder. To the hostage situation. The battle.
And finally, the hidden attack that had nearly taken her life.
As the story continued, Yang Qingxi’s expression gradually changed.
The amusent disappeared. A trace of lingering fear appeared in her eyes. She subconsciously touched her neck.
Although the wound had already healed, she could still imagine what would have happened if Su Mo had reacted even a little slower.
Then probably all that would have remained of her would be a corpse.
For a mont, the room beca quiet. Yang Qingxi lowered her gaze.
Ever since obtaining the Destiny Villainess System and learning about her fate, she had understood that danger would always follow her.
She wasn’t naïve enough to believe she could avoid every crisis.
However, understanding sothing and personally experiencing it were two completely different things.
Last night, death had truly been within arm’s reach. The realization left a complicated feeling in her heart. Then she looked at Su Mo again.
His eyes carried obvious exhaustion. His clothes were wrinkled.
There were even faint dark circles beneath his eyes.
It was obvious he hadn’t rested at all.
He had stayed beside her the entire night.
Watching and waiting.
Making sure she woke up safely.
Sothing inside her softened.
If she had really died last night... What regrets would she have left behind?
The answer appeared almost imdiately.
Her mother’s previous advice.
The mory of Yang Qingyun’s words surfaced in her mind once again.
’If you like him, then tell him.’
Yang Qingxi’s fingers tightened slightly.
For the first ti, she seriously considered it. Maybe she should just say it.
A simple sentence. Only three simple words.
’I like you.’
That was all it took.
Unfortunately, before the courage could gather, her gaze accidentally landed on the floating system notification again.
Main wife.
Yang Qingxi’s eyelid twitched. The warmth instantly disappeared.
All her hesitation, nervousness and shyness. Gone without a trace.
The atmosphere around her beca dangerous.
Su Mo imdiately felt a chill run down his spine. His survival instincts started screaming. He had absolutely no idea why Miss Yang’s mood could change so quickly.
A mont ago she seed emotional. Now she looked ready to blow sothing up.
Won truly were difficult to understand.
"Su Mo~"
The gentle tone made him even more nervous.
"Y-Yes?"
"From now on, continue calling by my na."
Su Mo blinked.
"Your na?"
"Yes."
He thought for a mont.
"Miss Qingxi?"
Yang Qingxi’s smile beca brighter.
And sohow more dangerous.
"No honorifics."
Su Mo imdiately corrected himself.
"Qingxi."
The dangerous smile finally disappeared.
"Good."
She nodded with satisfaction.
Although she tried to maintain a calm expression, the slight upward curve of her lips betrayed her mood.
At least this bastard wasn’t completely hopeless.
anwhile, Su Mo remained confused.
He had no idea why simply changing an address could make her so happy.
Won were indeed mysterious creatures.
After a brief silence, Yang Qingxi returned to the important matter.
"Do you know who the attacker might be?"
Su Mo shook his head.
"The insects lost track of him. Their movent speed was too fast."
He paused before continuing.
"However, one thing is certain. The attacker hadn’t left the White Moon Sect yet."
Yang Qingxi’s expression beca serious. "You think they’re soone from the sect?"
"Most likely, or they are related." Su Mo nodded. "Otherwise it would be difficult to explain how they bypassed the barriers and disappeared so quickly."
Yang Qingxi fell into thought. "It shouldn’t be Wu Chaochang or Ye Chen."
"I agree."
"Neither of them knows we’re their enemies."
"Exactly."
The room fell silent once more.
After a mont, Su Mo suddenly spoke.
"Could it be a new protagonist?"
Yang Qingxi imdiately shook her head.
"Then where would the enmity co from?"
Su Mo rubbed his chin. That was indeed the biggest problem.
If it was a protagonist, there should be a reason for targeting them.
Yet neither of them could think of one.
Then suddenly both of them froze.
A thought surfaced in their minds simultaneously. They looked at each other.
"My/ Your maternal family."
The two spoke at the sa ti.
Silence followed. Then Su Mo slowly nodded.
"The possibility is quite high."
Yang Qingxi’s expression also beca thoughtful.
Her mother’s background was still largely unknown to them.
However, one thing was certain.
The people behind her maternal family were not ordinary. Their enemies targeting her is indeed possible.
Su Mo’s back straightened slightly. "As I said before, the attacker wasn’t trying to kill you imdiately."
"They wanted to take you hostage."
Yang Qingxi nodded. "And they repeatedly said things like, ’We aren’t enemies.’ Right?"
"Correct."
The more they thought about it, the stranger the situation beca.
If the goal had been assassination, there were better opportunities.
Yet the attacker had attempted to capture her first.
Only after their plan failed had they resorted to more desperate thods.
Su Mo’s eyes narrowed.
"Which ans they probably wanted to use you."
