Suddenly, Shi Qi spoke up, pulling 007 back to reality: "Dog, something's wrong with you."

007 shook his head: "What's wrong?"

"You haven't said a word for so long."

007 retorted, "You talk like you know me so well." Then he realized he might have said something stupid. A movie star like Shi Qi, putting everything else aside, is quite adept at reading people's minds.

"I'm just a little tired."

Shi Qi stood up and stretched: "Tired? Your system gets tired?"

"Of course! These systems of ours also have a physical form elsewhere. My physical form is a majestic white wolf!"

For some reason, Shi Qi could see a sense of pride in that dog's expressionless face: "Hmm."

That single "hmm" instantly dampened 007's enthusiasm.

Shi Qi didn't feel embarrassed at all. He went to the coffee machine, poured himself a cup of strong coffee, and then stood in front of the one-way floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the scenery outside.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Shi Qi called out "Come in" and slowly walked back to his desk.

007, standing nervously to the side, exclaimed, "They're here! They're here!"

Shi Qi ignored him.

Then, the secretary pushed open the door and came in, holding a red envelope in her hand.

She handed the envelope to Shi Qi: "Mr. Shi, this was just delivered by someone from Mingcheng."

Shi Qi took the envelope and nodded: "Thank you for your help." The secretary quietly withdrew and then gently closed the door. Shi Qi opened the red and gold-embossed invitation in front of 007.

It was indeed Gu Yuhe and Su Xiaonan's wedding invitation, which invited him to attend their wedding banquet at a hotel owned by Mingcheng the next day.

The next day, under the guise of doing so to better complete the task, Shi Qi made a special effort to dress up.

"Dog, who designed this side quest? How could it be so brain-dead?"

007 gave an awkward laugh: "I don't know either. These missions were designed by the higher-ups."

Shi Qi didn't say anything, he just gave a cold laugh.

He entered the hotel's conference hall at the exact moment. The hall was magnificent and had a solemn atmosphere.

Unsurprisingly, almost everyone's eyes turned to them.

007 turned towards the male and female protagonists and said, "They're over there."

Shi Qi walked towards the two with a gentle smile on his face.

As he got closer, he could see Gu Yu's face clearly. The man had a very aggressive appearance, with thick black hair combed back, revealing his full forehead. However, his gentle eyes softened the aggressiveness of his appearance, making him seem a little gentler.

I must admit, this person is flawless in appearance, only slightly less attractive than myself.

He couldn't see Su Xiaonan's face clearly because of the veil; he could only tell that she was pretty and clean-looking.

"Mr. Gu, congratulations!"

Gu Yu smiled and said, "Thank you." He seemed quite happy.

Then, Shi Qi turned to look at Su Xiaonan beside him and stretched out a hand.

Su Xiaonan subconsciously raised her hand, and then her hand was taken by the person in front of her. The person bent down slightly and gave her a kiss on the hand.

Su Xiaonan was stunned for a moment, then awkwardly withdrew her hand.

Shi Qi seemed unconcerned about this and turned to Gu Yu, saying, "Mr. Gu is really lucky; your sister-in-law is so beautiful."

Gu Yu's polite smile froze for a moment. Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Shi Qi turned and left.

'Su Xiaonan's favorability +10, villain value +20'

Standing next to Gu Yu, Su Xiaonan was lost in thought. Others couldn't see her face clearly, but she could see others clearly through her veil.

From the moment he entered, her gaze was drawn to him, just like when she first met Gu Yu. Only this man's features were much softer, making him more likely to win people's favor.

Everyone here knows that Gu Yu married an ordinary woman, and Gu Yu hasn't shown any particular interest in her, so she's been acting as a mascot here for quite some time.

That man was the first to pay her attention, and he even did that kind of thing...

Just thinking about what had just happened made Su Xiaonan's face burn.

----

On the other side, Shi Qi was standing by a quiet window, holding a glass of red wine and sipping it slowly.

007: "Impressive, host. How did you come up with that?"

"The logic is simple: when someone is ignored, they naturally need others to pay attention to them," he didn't continue, but 007 completely understood: after being ignored by a group of guests, she would definitely feel embarrassed. At this time, Shi Qi casually threw her a rope, and of course she would hold on to it tightly and feel grateful to him.

----

Su Xiaonan asked calmly, "Who is he?"

"Time to get up." Gu Yu was inexplicably irritated. "I'll leave for a while."

Because Su Xiaonan was focused on Shi Qi, she didn't pay much attention to Gu Yu's words and just nodded casually.

She knew Shi Qi; it could be said that most people in the country knew him to some extent. In the business world, he was almost as famous as Gu Yu, but he rarely appeared in public, so few people knew what he looked like.

So he's Shi Qi... He seems quite gentle.

After Shi Qi's actions, many people gathered around to talk to her, and Su Xiaonan felt a sense of pride and began chatting with the people around her.

She thought to herself, "I'm not that bad, Su Xiaonan!"

----

A voice suddenly echoed in Shi Qi's mind: 'Fate Value -5'. "What is Fate Value?"

007: "Oh, I forgot to mention!"

Shi Qi had a look on his face that said, "What use are you?"

007 thought he could still salvage the situation: "'Destiny Value' is similar to the bond between the male and female protagonists. Its initial value is 100. The higher the Destiny Value, the greater the possibility that the male and female protagonists will be together. Once it is reduced to zero, the main quest will be completed."

At this moment, another person walked towards Shi Qi.

007 muttered to himself, "This is the fifth one already."

Shi Qi was getting impatient: "Excuse me, Mr. He, I had a bit too much to drink earlier. Please excuse me." Mr. He was about to speak when he was cut off: "Please go ahead."

After leaving the venue, we arrived at a European-style arcade outside. There was a fountain in the middle of the arcade, and ivy climbed the marble columns, creating a serene and beautiful scene.

He's never been a big drinker, so when he said he was drunk, it wasn't entirely untrue. Shi Qi leaned against a pillar, arms crossed, eyes closed, a gentle breeze brushing his face, making him feel a little better.

Immediately afterwards, a series of footsteps approached.

When Shi Qi opened his eyes, Gu Yu was already standing in front of him...

"Mr. Gu, what brings you here?" Shi Qi asked listlessly.

Gu Yu frowned: "Shi Qi, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Shi Qi lowered his hand and left the pillar: "I just feel that it's not a gentleman's job to leave a lady standing there doing nothing."

"That's my wife, mind your own business."

Shi Qi chuckled lightly: "Gu Yu, let's make a deal. How about you give me your wife?"

Then, Shi Qi felt his back slam against the pillar, and he winced in pain. Gu Yu pressed his shoulders down, pinning him firmly against the pillar.

His face was filled with disbelief, and his voice was almost forced out through clenched teeth: "Say it again?"

Shi Qi's expression immediately turned cold, and his tone became chillingly cold: "Don't touch me."

Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, and his movements loosened: "You..."

Shi Qi removed the hand that was on his shoulder and left before he could say anything.

Gu Yu's favorability +5, villain value +20.

Shi Qi almost stumbled; did the male lead have some serious illness?
