Chapter 5: Realistic Gold Used to Bring Good Luck to Oneself (Fake Gold)
The system remained calm. "It's alright, this isn't your problem, and it won't have much impact on the overall plot. Don't worry."
Yun Qing frowned slightly. Wouldn't this affect the overall plot?
In the original storyline, Lu Miaomiao was supposed to fall in love with Yan Chen during their first encounter, which was also the reason she later agreed to help Lu Yunqing by marrying him to bring good luck.
Now that things are like this, can Lu Miaomiao still be attracted to Yan Chen?
Yan Chen was quite gentle with Lu Miaomiao, but it seemed like there wasn't much of that gentleness!
However, when she saw Lu Miaomiao staring blankly at Yan Chen, she instantly felt relieved. It seemed that the main reason Lu Miaomiao was attracted to Yan Chen was his good looks.
This minor mistake doesn't seem to have much impact on the overall plot.
It seems she has kept her award.
Yan Chen took out his phone, tapped a few times, and then looked at Lu Miaomiao and said, "You're injured. I had my assistant bring over a first-aid kit. Wait here for a bit."
Then he turned to look at Yun Qing, his face darkening, and said, "Lu Yun Qing, come with me."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Yun Qing hurriedly followed, but inwardly she breathed a sigh of relief. That's right, now it's time to reprimand her.
Although there are some minor inconsistencies, overall it should be fine.
As Yun Qing was thinking, Yan Chen in front of her suddenly stopped. Because she was a little absent-minded, she didn't notice and accidentally bumped into his back.
Yan Chen turned around and steadied her arm, frowning as he said, "What's the panic!"
Yun Qing looked at him, tears welling in her eyes, and anxiously tried to explain, "Yan Chen, it's not what you saw, I..."
Yan Chen interrupted her directly, "Didn't you listen at all when I told you you would be Mrs. Yan in the future?"
Yun Qing: ? ? ?
[System, what does he mean?]
She felt something was off.
At this moment, Yan Chen looked at her teary-eyed, dazed expression and softened his tone, saying, "You still have me as your fiancé."
Yun Qing's bad premonition grew stronger. [System! System!]
The system said awkwardly, "[He seems to be trying to comfort you, to tell you not to be afraid of being abandoned by the Lu family.]"
Yun Qing: !!!
Tell me, is this plot reasonable?
The system pondered for a moment and said: [Yan Chen is just too responsible. It's alright. Anyway, if you refuse to marry him, it will be considered a betrayal of him, and he definitely won't treat you well anymore. At that time, Lu Miaomiao will be his wife. No matter how strong his sense of responsibility is, it will be for Lu Miaomiao.]
Yun Qing thought about it and realized it made sense.
At this moment, Yan Chen suddenly asked, "Are you injured?"
Yun Qing followed his gaze and saw that her scalded left hand had been treated and wrapped in gauze.
She immediately nodded pitifully and said, "It hurts so much."
It didn't hurt at all; the system had blocked the pain sensation in her hands.
Yan Chen stared at her hand for a while, then suddenly said, "The gauze is all dirty. Let's go, I'll help you reapply the medicine."
The gauze was indeed a bit dirty.
Since her hand didn't hurt, she didn't pay much attention; it might have gotten dirty somewhere.
But the original plot was supposed to be Yan Chen applying medicine to Lu Miaomiao, but now it has inexplicably turned into Yan Chen applying medicine to this villainous female supporting character?
[System, are you sure I didn't do anything wrong?]
The system stated definitively: "No, if the plot error was caused by your mistake, you should be struck by lightning by now."
But this plot is getting weirder and weirder!
Yun Qing began to carefully recall the details of tonight's performance, trying to figure out where things went wrong, but after carefully comparing the script, she realized there was no problem!
She acted strictly according to the script!
Yun Qing absentmindedly led Yan Chen towards her room.
Yan Chen paused at the doorway for a moment before stepping inside.
He feels a little guilty towards Yun Qing now.
He felt that Yun Qing was targeting Lu Miaomiao because of her insecurity, and that he, as her fiancé, also bore a great responsibility for her insecurity.
Although he was engaged, he certainly didn't act like a normal fiancé.
Perhaps that's why she felt the marriage was unreliable and why she was so worried that if she were kicked out of the Lu family, she would have nothing left.
Yun Qing found the first-aid kit in the room and turned to meet Yan Chen's somewhat complicated gaze.
However, before she could investigate, he returned to normal, took the medicine box from her hand, helped her sit down, and prepared to reapply the medicine.
Yun Qing reached out her hand, mentally telling the system: "Activate your pain sense, so you don't give yourself away later."
Yan Chen clearly rarely did this kind of thing. Because he was not skilled, his movements were slow, but he tried to be as gentle as possible. He became even more careful after Yun Qing's hand trembled in pain.
Watching him intently apply the medicine to her, Yun Qing said to the system, "Let's discuss how the story should proceed from here on out."
The system offered its suggestion: "The plot is a minor issue right now; focus on stabilizing the character designs."
Yun Qing thought about it carefully. Although the plot has deviated a bit, it should be able to get back on track after Lu Miaomiao marries into the Yan family in her place.
This slight deviation isn't a big problem right now, and the storyline she followed was correct, so it's not her fault.
On the contrary, her public image absolutely cannot be ruined.
The system continued: "If it were Lu Yunqing, she should be desperately trying to capture Yan Chen right now. And since Yan Chen has given her hope, she'd probably be even more aggressive. Don't be so calm; be more proactive and take the initiative."
Yun Qing: ...Alright then.
So, after Yan Chen finished applying the medicine to her and looked up, Yun Qing closed her eyes, hardened her heart, and kissed him directly.
Yan Chen was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned his head to the side. The kiss that was originally going to land on his lips ended up landing on his face.
Yun Qing was surprised that they had kissed so intimately, her eyes widened in astonishment, and she quickly backed away.
[System! Why didn't he push me away? Why didn't he dodge?]
Although she took the initiative, Yan Chen should have pushed her away or avoided her.
After all, the male lead is supposed to remain chaste for the female lead.
The novel also explicitly states that although Yan Chen and Lu Yunqing are engaged, they do not engage in any intimate behavior.
In the original owner's memories, Yan Chen was indeed quite averse to physical contact with her.
She had cried in his arms before, and he hadn't pushed her away. One could say he had a good temper and, seeing how pitiful his fiancée was, refrained from pushing her away.
But what just happened to him?
He seemed to be dodging, but not completely?
Is this also due to a sense of responsibility?
Although she was full of doubts, Yun Qing reacted quickly and immediately realized that she had been too surprised and her behavior was not in line with her character. She had to make amends.
So, when Yan Chen looked at her, she already had a hurt expression on her face, and she lowered her eyes sadly, saying, "I'm sorry, I thought... I crossed the line. I will be more careful in the future."
Yan Chen felt a pang of sympathy seeing her pitiful and cautious appearance.
They were engaged, and Yun Qing kissing him was a perfectly normal thing to do, but she acted as if she had committed a huge mistake.
His avoidance was a form of harm to her.
Yan Chen couldn't help but begin to reflect on himself.
