The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man

Everyone stared with envy at the rabbit in Leng Yuan’s hands.

The men of the Leng Family were all skilled hunters.

Leng Yuan’s father, Leng Junsheng, was formidable, and Leng Yuan was just as skilled.

Whenever they went into the mountains, they never came back empty-handed.

During this time, any small game you caught was yours to keep. Only larger animals like wild boars or roe deer had to be turned in.

After a moment of envy, the crowd’s chatter turned to gossip about Xu Wenwan.

Xu Wenwan paid them no mind. Overwhelmed with indignation, she sprinted all the way to the Educated Youth Point until she found Yun Hao.

Heedless of the others present, she threw herself directly into Yun Hao’s arms.

The others at the Educated Youth Point exchanged surprised looks before hastily retreating to their dorms.

Li Hongmei, however, lingered at the doorway and refused to leave. In the end, someone had to pull her back into her room.

Yun Hao pushed her away almost instinctively. Xu Wenwan couldn’t help but stare at him.

The man cleared his throat, his expression a little awkward. ”Wen Wan, this is bad for your reputation.”

Ignoring him, Xu Wenwan threw herself into his arms again.

”It doesn’t matter, Yun Hao. I’ve thought it through. Let’s get married!”

Yun Hao’s body went rigid. He pushed her away as if he’d been shocked. ”Wen Wan, why are you suddenly talking about marriage?”

This was all too sudden for him. He had never even considered marriage.

Xu Wenwan froze, stunned. She stared at Yun Hao, truly looking at him for the first time.

In the past, when Yun Hao had pushed her away, she’d assumed he was just worried about her reputation. But now she was proposing marriage, and he was still rejecting her.

The longer she stared, the darker her expression grew.

”Yun Hao, you... you don’t want to marry me?”

Yun Hao avoided her gaze, his voice lacking conviction.

”Wen Wan, I... I haven’t thought about it. Your bringing up marriage is just... it’s too sudden. I need to think about it.”

Xu Wenwan’s heart grew cold.

She had been so terribly wronged, and the first person she’d thought of was Yun Hao. She had even proposed marriage. But she never imagined that not only would he fail to comfort or console her, he would outright reject her.

The system, watching from its space, suddenly spoke up.

”Host, the male lead’s favorability toward you has dropped to sixty percent. This can only be classified as ’like.’”

Xu Wenwan’s eyes widened in disbelief.

”What is his favorability score for Gu Jiaojiao?”

she blurted out.

’She just had to know how Yun Hao felt about Gu Jiaojiao.’

The system checked its panel and spit out a number: ”Eighty percent.”

Xu Wenwan was completely dumbfounded.

’Yun Hao has fallen for Gu Jiaojiao?’

’How is that possible?’

”Yun Hao, are you saying this is too sudden... or is there someone else? Do you like Gu Jiaojiao?”

Yun Hao fell silent.

He looked at Xu Wenwan—so aggressive, almost unhinged—and his expression soured.

”Wen Wan, you’ve always been so gentle and understanding. How could you say something like that? I just... I just think this is all too sudden.”

Xu Wenwan wasn’t listening.

”I’m asking you if you’ve fallen for Gu Jiaojiao. All you have to do is answer yes or no.”

Yun Hao fell silent.

Xu Wenwan already knew the answer.

She shook her head, unable to believe that Yun Hao had actually fallen for Gu Jiaojiao.

She knew the plot had collapsed, but she never thought it would be this absurd.

That Yun Hao would fall for Gu Jiaojiao was something she never would have imagined, not even in her wildest dreams.

For a moment, Xu Wenwan had no idea what to do.

’The male lead’s heart has already changed. What is she, the female lead, supposed to do now?!’

But the system spoke up at this moment.

”He’s already moved on, anyway. Last time, you couldn’t bring yourself to drain his fortune. This time, don’t hold back.”

’She had a point.’

She looked at Yun Hao, a wounded smile playing on her lips.

”Yun Hao, I understand. Don’t worry, I won’t pester you. I just have one request... can you hold me one last time?”
