After the tycoon went bankrupt, he was raised by the villainous female supporting character and beca

"Eight points of favorability?" Shen Yanhui's eyes widened slightly, looking astonished. "I actually gained favorability from Pei Xingzhi?"

The mechanical female voice replied: "Yes, host. For every eight points of favorability you gain, your pain will decrease by eight percent."

Shen Yan nodded, subconsciously wanting to raise her hand to touch her chest, but as she moved her wrist, she vaguely remembered that she was carrying a lot of things and couldn't touch her chest, which was still tingling.

"How much time do I have left?" she asked coldly, staring at the steps beneath her feet.

Mechanical female voice: [Host, you have five months. If you fail to complete the mission within five months, the system will automatically initiate the elimination program. At that time, both you and I will completely disappear from this world.]

“…I understand.” Shen Yanhui lowered her eyes, her expression indifferent, showing no further reaction.

Mechanical female voice: [Qin Song has now successfully given birth. Pei Xingzhi has not only become a father, but he and Qin Song have also reconciled, and their relationship is even sweeter. Host, if you don't take action to destroy Pei Xingzhi's happy family soon, it will truly be too late.]

"Hmph..." Shen Yanhui sneered, "Take action to destroy Pei Xingzhi's happy family? What action do you think I can take? Use the same old trick of becoming Pei Xingzhi's mistress again?"

Mechanical female voice: [Of course not. The host has already failed on this path and is still suffering the consequences. But if the host is in a hurry to die, then the same trick can be used again.]

Shen Yan replied: "...You also know that I'll die if I become a mistress?"

Mechanical female voice: 【That's why I suggested the host think of another way.】

"..." Shen Yan rolled her eyes at the empty space in front of her. "If I could think of any other way, I wouldn't have agreed to cooperate with Qin Song in the first place."

【snort……】

The mechanical female voice seemed to chuckle: "Host, considering we're both about to die, I can offer you a new idea."

"...What are your thoughts?" Shen Yan asked in return.

Mechanical female voice: [I can extend your favorability rating by allowing Qin Song to disappear from this world completely. You can keep Qin Song's child; if you're willing to be her child's stepmother, I think Pei Xingzhi will be very grateful.]

[For example, just now, didn't you gain eight points of favorability from Pei Xingzhi because you helped his child?]

"Ha," the self-righteous mechanical female voice amused Shen Yanhui. "System, you actually think that Pei Xingzhi would give me eight points of favorability just because I helped his child?"

Mechanical female voice: 【Isn't that right?】

“No!” Shen Yan’s tone was firm, her eyes cold and resolute. “The reason Pei Xingzhi was willing to give me those eight points of goodwill had nothing to do with how I helped his child. The reason he no longer harbored hostility towards me was because I was good to Qin Song.”

"Only when I stop hurting Qin Song and stop ruining their relationship will he put away his thorns and give me a chance to gain favor!"

"So?" the mechanical female voice asked calmly.

Shen Yan replied, "So I should understand that my goodwill wasn't given by Pei Xingzhi, but by Qin Song. Only by being good to Qin Song will Pei Xingzhi let me live."

"System, what can move Pei Xingzhi is not trust, companionship, support, or protection, but Qin Song. Only Qin Song can touch his heart."

【so what? 】

The mechanical female voice asked again: "So, the host has decided to treat Qin Song well from now on?"

"..." Shen Yan Hui did not speak.

Mechanical female voice: [But even so, the host still won't survive. Without gaining Pei Xingzhi's true affection, the host's favorability will never reach 100%. If it doesn't reach 100%, the system cannot determine that the host has completed the mission, and in five months, the host will still be eliminated by the system.]

"..." Shen Yanhui bit her lip tightly, still remaining silent.

Mechanical female voice: [Host, you do understand the essence of gaining favor with Pei Xingzhi, but you seem to have forgotten that our mission has a time limit. Even if you can gain enough favor to survive by being kind to Qin Song, you will never be able to complete the mission. Qin Song cannot save you; if you want to live, you have no choice but to cruelly make Qin Song disappear.]

I know Qin Song is innocent, but you and she are destined to have one die and one live. It's up to you to choose.

People in this world are selfish; I don't think anyone would be so generous as to trade their own life for someone else's.

“…” Shen Yan sighed, “Does it really have to be this way? Does one of us have to die?”

Mechanical female voice: [If the host could think of a more peaceful way to make Pei Xingzhi willingly give his heart to you, then Qin Song wouldn't have to die.]

"..."

Shen Yan didn't respond to the system's words. She stood blankly in the stairwell for a while with her head down, then picked up the nutritional supplements in her hand and went upstairs.

Outside the ward, many reporters, disguised as family members of the new mother, were still loitering in the corridor. Shen Yan walked over carrying her things, and a reporter recognized her and couldn't wait to rush over for an interview.

Fortunately, the Xie family had arranged bodyguards in advance. Before the reporters could stop Shen Yan Hui, the bodyguards appeared in time and blocked her side.

The reporters, not daring to provoke these burly men, could only retreat dejectedly and wait for an opportunity to conduct their interviews.

"Click——"

The ward door was gently pushed open, and laughter and cheerful voices immediately rushed out.

The Xie family, the Pei family, and several of Qin Song's good friends were all in the ward. When they saw Shen Yan come in, Song Yihuan was the first to wave to her.

"Yan Hui, come quick! You're smiling now!"

"You're here." Shen Yan put on a smile, put down what she was carrying, and walked towards Song Yihuan.

"Think about it, then smile again."

Pei Xingzhi held his son, gently rocking him while patiently coaxing and soothing him.

"Think about it, and then smile again, okay?"

"Smile again, sweetie..."

Perhaps he understood what his father said, because he immediately squinted his eyes, grinned, and smiled obediently.

"Ouch……"

That smile melted everyone's hearts. Song Yihuan clutched her heart and said with envy, "Da Hua, your son is just too well-behaved!"

Qin Song proudly raised an eyebrow: "My son is bound to be well-behaved."

"Xiao Song, look!" Pei Xingzhi brought the child to her. "He just smiled again."

She reached out and took the child from her, but before she even started to comfort him, she squinted her eyes and began to smile again.

After laughing, he stared at Qin Song with his big, round eyes.

Pei Xingzhi pinched his cheek and said softly, "You know this is your mother."

"Uh..." The little kid suddenly burped, as if in response to Pei Xingzhi's words.
