Indulging in Carnal Desire
chapter-291

All irrationality has its own special meaning, you merely need to find the most reasonable explanation for each one.

While Chu Jiao was being bound by the system, she clearly recognized this logic. So when she heard the coldhearted words exchanged by her biological parents through the wiretap, she unexpectedly didn’t feel too disappointed. After all, she had lived through a book that couldn’t be explained by common sense and was even a cannon fodder there, through and through.

So, why was it that the male lead Xiao Qi would say such unanticipated words all of a sudden?

The only explanation that she could think of was——

Xiao Qi was ‘him.’

The man who had broken the plot for her and had gone through missions in each world together with her.

However, this time, she had returned to her original world. She didn’t have a mission and simply didn’t take the initiative to seduce nor provoke the male lead. Then, why did Xiao Qi do all these things that seemed against the plot?

If not for knowing who she actually was, if not for remembering everything they had been through…

Was this possible? In every world prior, he always seemed to have forgotten about her.

If he truly did have memories of being together with her, then why didn’t he recognize her back when they saw each other in the car?

Chu Jiao mulled over this for the entire day, but she still couldn’t figure this matter out.

Unknowingly, the curtain of the night had already fallen.

The employees of the company began to get off of work and returned home, one after another, leaving Chu Jiao all alone to sit and stare at her computer screen in a dazed state. It was only the reminder of the company gates being lowered ringing that startled her awake.

Holding her bag in one hand, she pressed the elevator button going down. Chu Jiao merely stared at the closed door of the lifts that reflected her blank appearance.

Ever since her return, her life had definitely turned around, everything developing in the right direction. Without the birthmark, her appearance had grown beautifully; her colleagues had become friendlier; and, nobody made a fool of her. Every time she walked on the road, people would strike up a conversation with her, completely different from the past, where people actively avoided her as if she were a scorpion ready to sting. The parents she searched for so long wanted to acknowledge her, and if she agreed, she would be able to start living the life of a young miss, even giving her hand in marriage to a young and competent director…

Was all of this the reward for successfully finishing her missions?

Chu Jiao stared at the person reflected in the mirror and realized that her brows were actually furrowed, while the light in her eyes were dull.

Was this truly everything she ever wanted before she had accepted the system’s issued missions?

Now that she had obtained everything so easily, why did she find herself unhappy?

“Ding——”

The lift slowly arrived at Chu Jiao’s floor and the doors of the lift slowly opened.

There was not a soul inside, apart from a tall man dressed in an expensive suit and leather shoes.

In that instant, Chu Jiao figured out the reason why she was unhappy.

That’s right. In every world she has been in, there was always a person who was there for her no matter what, and that person was always able to make her happy. And, now that she had returned to this place, she was suddenly left alone, as if life had lost all its color.

“Director Xiao.”

After figuring this out, Chu Jiao stepped into the lift and took the initiative to reveal a small yet sweet smile to the always serious and cold director in front of her.

Since the mountain won’t come to me, I’ll have come to the mountain myself.

If Xiao Qi were truly him, then he must have a lot of things that he wanted to hide from her.

Chu Jiao gritted her teeth silently.

Being kept in the dark was really unpleasant.

If it were true, she would definitely… definitely give him a taste of this!

Unsure of whether her own surmise was correct or not, Chu Jiao stared at the lift’s doors as they closed shut, telling herself.

Then, shouldn’t she just give it a try, just like how she did every time before?
