Snatching Women from the Male Lead

Chapter 23

When 502 helped Qin Zhao plan the route to Nan's old house, she kept watching Nan Yue’s side.

This was the first time Qin Zhao saw Nan Yue not behaving like a young miss.

Brave and strong, she didn't show any fear towards Nan Chenghui at all.

Although she was a little impetuous after entering the room, who could say this wasn't being true to herself?!

Anyway, Qin Zhao admired it very much.

Thinking of this, she felt that she really liked Nan Yue a bit.

The scene suddenly changed.

Qin Zhao sat up straight and watched Nan Yue's actions carefully. She found that Nan Yue seemed to be looking for something in the messy cotton.

She soon realized that she had underestimated Nan Yue.

Every move Nan Yue made had a purpose!

Nan Yue smashed things while observing the location of the miniature cameras in the room, accurately throwing vases, cups and other items at them.

She sneered to herself inwardly, she didn't expect there were five cameras installed in this small 30 square meters room by Nan Chenghui!

Did Nan Chenghui have any sense of being a father at all?

He was even more disgusting than she had imagined!

To avoid any fish slipping through the net, Nan Yue tore apart a stuffed bear and let the cotton fall into the blind spots of the room.

That way, even if there were cameras that hadn't been found, they wouldn't be able to get any useful footage.

After doing all this, she wearily sat on the bed and looked around at the items in the room.

Fortunately, as Nan Chenghui said, the room was kept as it used to be.

Nan Yue got up and walked to the desk, then picked up the music box that Nan Chenghui had given her when she was nine years old.

Opening the lid, the music played automatically, and the long-haired princess spun along with the music.

The allegory of the music box was not good, with the princess dancing in a cage, but it contained something Nan Yue desperately needed at this moment.

When the tune "To Alice" finished playing, Nan Yue smashed the music box to the ground!

The music box shattered into pieces, and the hidden object inside came into Nan Yue's sight.

Nan Yue's eyes flashed with delight.

She silently prayed that this thing could still be used after twelve years. Then she took out the flip phone, battery, SIM card and charger wrapped in a bubble bag.

Her phone had been taken away by the men in black, so now she could only pin her hopes on her past self, who had left this backup plan.

Nan Yue installed the battery in the phone and sat down at the desk to plug in the charger and charge the phone.

She watched the phone anxiously. After so many years, it was very likely that the phone was already broken.

Every second of waiting was torment.

Therefore, when the start screen appeared, Nan Yue felt a long-lost sense of ecstasy!

But the joy did not last long before the phone started abnormally heating up.

Nan Yue’s mind raced as she recalled the phone numbers of familiar people.

She had to send the message out before the phone completely broke down!

Otherwise, that person would definitely be heartbroken if he didn’t hear from her...

When Qin Zhao saw that Nan Yue had found what she needed, she was also happy for her.

She thought to herself that since she was Nan Yue’s girlfriend, Nan Yue might call her.

So Qin Zhao took out her phone that had slipped into the sofa crevice and held it in her hand.

That way she could answer Nan Yue’s call right away.

However, until Nan Yue's flip phone started smoking and she threw it in the trash can and doused it with water, Qin Zhao's phone never rang.

She pursed her lips in disappointment and comforted herself: Perhaps Nan Yue didn't remember her phone number.

It was normal, after all she couldn't remember Nan Yue's number either.

Qin Zhao's mood changed very quickly, and she soon dismissed the disturbing emotions.

"502, have you planned the route?" Qin Zhao asked.

The system replied, "Yes, but I think it's risky to go now. She's on the second floor and you'd have to climb the wall to get to her. It would be very easy to get caught doing it in broad daylight."

Qin Zhao thought about it and agreed, although the system had the ability to let her see Nan Yue unnoticed, it would cost money.

Qin Zhao had always been frugal whenever possible and would never be generous.

"Okay, let's go tonight then."

After agreeing on a plan with the system, seeing that Nan Yue was already lying in bed to rest, Qin Zhao continued to watch Korean dramas.

The plot was very exciting, the heroine was beautiful, and the acting skills of the entire cast were on point.

Usually Qin Zhao would have been engrossed in it.

But for some reason, she just couldn't focus on it today.

502 noticed that Qin Zhao was in a bad mood, and asked, "Is it because you're upset that the heroine didn't call you but sent a text to someone else?"

Qin Zhao immediately denied it: "Of course not, I wouldn't be so petty."

"Ha ha ha ha, this is the so-called not being able to see the forest for the trees. Little Zhao Zhao, you have feelings for her, you would only be so sensitive towards someone you like!"

Qin Zhao rolled her eyes, too lazy to respond to 502. How could an AI system understand human emotions? She should just take those words as blowing by her ear.

She really couldn't concentrate on watching, so she turned off the TV and said to 502, "I'm going to take a nap, wake me when it's time."

502: "Okay."

Qin Zhao tossed and turned for a long time before finally feeling sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, a knock suddenly sounded in the quiet room!

It immediately dispelled her drowsiness.

Qin Zhao got up and rubbed her eyes. As she walked past the mirror, she also took the time to tidy her hair before slowly walking to the door.

She didn't know too many people in this world, and the only friend who knew she lived here was Nan Yue.

It was probably a property management person or something...

Qin Zhao opened the door, and the person standing outside made her a little surprised.

"Sister bodyguard?" Qin Zhao asked tentatively. She had only seen the female bodyguard once, so she wasn't too sure.

She was able to recognize her mostly because she looked a bit like Nan Yue.

"Miss Qin can call me Qiao Lin."

Qiao Lin was holding a bouquet of lilies in her arms. Along with her cold and stern expression, it made people want to laugh for some reason.

Qin Zhao did secretly smile a little, and asked, "Sister Qiao Lin, what brings you here to see me?"

Qiao Lin stuffed the flowers into Qin Zhao's arms and said, "These are from Miss Nan. She said she was busy today and couldn't make the appointment.

She hopes you won't be angry and that after she gets through this busy period, she will make it up to you."

Qin Zhao's expression was subtle as she narrowed her eyes and said, "That's all?"

Qiao Lin: "There's one more thing. She said everything is fine, so you don't need to worry."

After that, Qiao Lin bid Qin Zhao farewell and left as quickly as she had come, keeping a low profile.

After closing the door, holding the heavy lilies, Qin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Nan Yue hadn't called her, the content of the message she sent out was about her.

It showed that Nan Yue was thinking only of her.

What else was there to be dissatisfied about?

Qin Zhao looked down at the flowers and saw a small box and a card in the petals.

Opening the exquisite little black box, a pair of sapphire earrings came into view.

One look and you could tell they were of high quality and value.

Qin Zhao's mouth curved up as she felt enveloped by warmth.

She took out the earrings and put them on.

Then she opened the card.

The card read: Sorry Zhao Zhao, I couldn't come to see you.

At this moment I feel vexed, but just thinking of you, I feel a little more at ease.

I don't know why this is.

I think as long as you are by my side, I will be able to find the answer.

Qin Zhao put down the card, put the lilies in a vase, and went to the bathroom to add water.

Then she went back to sit on the sofa.

502 had also read those words and thought they were very well written. Seeing that Qin Zhao didn't react, it felt strange and asked, "Host, aren't you moved?"

Qin Zhao thought about it and said, "It feels really good to be needed and looked forward to.

I want to keep this feeling.

Have you heard the story of Rapunzel?

Rapunzel was locked in a tall tower by the evil witch, and the passing prince saved her.

After that, the two lived happily ever after together.

The only plot hole in this story is that the prince was a man.

And now I'm going to save my princess and fix this bug."

In the old house study.

"Uncle, you shouldn't treat her like that. She's already an adult."

On the surface, Ye Chenxi was speaking up for Nan Yue, but in fact he already regarded Nan Yue as his woman.

He was dissatisfied that Nan Chenghui didn't respect his possession.

Nan Chenghui clearly also heard Ye Chenxi's implication. His brows furrowed slightly as he said, "Nan Yue is my daughter, so of course I can treat her in my own way."

"Watch your words and actions. If you still want to save your company, don't talk to me in that tone!"

Ye Chenxi's courtesy towards Nan Chenghui was fake from the start. Now he was just showing his true colors.

Nan Chenghui's chest heaved as he was quite angry at Ye Chenxi's quick change of attitude.

After a long pause, he said, "Ultimately, we are helping each other out of self-interest. If you want to marry my daughter, then let go of Nan Corporation."

"Ha ha ha..." Ye Chenxi laughed out loud, "You really think I love your daughter that much, don't get me wrong, she's not that important."

No more nonsense, I'll wait for you to bring your daughter to me, respectfully.

Ye Chenxi left these words and then pushed the door to leave.

Nan Chenghui collapsed into the chair, like a defeated rooster.

In the evening, Nan Yue was awakened by a knock at the door. Someone outside pushed a food cart in and then locked the door again.

Nan Yue first went to the bathroom to rinse her mouth, then brought the food to the small table and started eating bite by bite.

You still have to eat, no one can torture yourself.

Eating too much at night and unable to go out for a walk to help digest, it could cause indigestion.

So after she finished a plate of vegetable salad, she put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a paper towel.

She went to the desk, picked up a copy of The Happy Prince and started reading.

Used to accepting fast food information online, it was hard to calm down and read a book.

But in fact, humans have a primal craving for books.

Before long, she was immersed in Wilde's literary artistry.

When she looked up again, it was dark outside, with only faint starlight remaining.

She wondered if Qiao Lin had delivered the gift, what was Qin Zhao doing right now?

Just as she was thinking randomly, the crisp sound of stones striking the window suddenly rang out!

Nan Yue picked up a baseball bat and went to the window, and saw a bony hand rest on the windowsill first.

Her heart beat faster inexplicably, and she slowly raised the bat...

Just as she was about to hit the hand with the bat, Qin Zhao's face emerged from the darkness.

Nan Yue immediately stopped her hand!

The two looked at each other.

Qin Zhao, clinging to the wall, squeezed out a smile with difficulty and said, "Baby, if you can't come see me, I can come see you!"
