Miler, who has a system for giving up

Chapter 38 Breaking Through the Forbidden Grounds of Yan Luo's Family

Time flies, and it's almost noon. My stomach has started to rumble.

But seeing everyone so engrossed in the discussion, I felt too embarrassed to suggest we go eat.

Just then, Han Heng suddenly stood up, interrupting the others' conversation, and said, "Wait a minute, my girlfriend is hungry, I'm going to take her to eat first."

His voice was firm yet gentle, causing everyone present to stop what they were doing.

Their expressions varied, but they were all surprised. The two who had just become assistants looked more incredulous; their boss actually had a boyfriend.

Sikong Feng and Yan Luo showed some surprise, but not much. After all, they probably knew that Han Heng liked me, but they were just surprised that I agreed so quickly.

Qin Yimeng's expression showed more disappointment than surprise. Could it be that she had also liked Han Heng? I can ask her about it during dinner later, just to gossip a bit.

As for Ye Dongjun, he was overjoyed, as if I were his girlfriend.

Han Heng and I both saw everyone's expressions, but we didn't offer them any further explanation.

Then, he reached out his hand to me, smiling at me with eyes full of care and love.

I felt a surge of warmth in my heart, so I placed my hand in his palm and felt his warmth.

He gently held my hand, as if it were the most precious thing in the world.

Then, we walked out of the conference room together, leaving behind a group of surprised people.

They might have been surprised by Han Heng's actions, but they were probably more envious! After all, men as thoughtful and considerate as him are truly rare.

I secretly rejoiced that I could find such a good boyfriend. He always cares for me and takes care of me in crucial moments, making me feel incredibly happy.

It feels so good to be pampered like this. I hope we can continue to enjoy this sweetness and warmth in the future.

We had only walked a short distance when I heard various sounds coming from that office.

I let Han Heng pull my hand and lead me to his office. When I opened the office door, there were steaming hot dishes on the dining table.

So that's how it is. He had already sensed my hunger and made preparations in advance before taking me to eat.

I couldn't help but feel a little happy and touched, but I still couldn't resist teasing Han Heng: "Little Hengheng, you're so thoughtful! But why didn't you mention our relationship in the meeting room? Is there some deeper meaning behind it?" After saying that, I blinked and looked at him expectantly.

Han Heng gazed at me intently, his eyes filled with tenderness and affection. He slowly opened his mouth and said softly, "Actually, there are two reasons. The first reason is that I was still immersed in the joy of your promise this morning, and I was so excited that I couldn't calm down, so I forgot to tell anyone for a moment."

A hint of embarrassment crossed his face, his eyes flickered, and his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, he spoke slowly, his voice low and deliberate, carrying a sense of reluctance: "I...I don't know how to say it."

His brows furrowed slightly, and the muscles in his face twitched slightly, as if he were going through a fierce internal struggle, but in the end he still spoke out.

"The second reason is for your and my sake. When we were little, Yimeng always liked to cling to us, but ever since Sikong got his fiancée Luoluo, she stopped bothering him and turned her attention to me and Dongjun. However, for some reason, Dongjun seemed to have had a fierce argument with Yimeng, and since then, Yimeng has only clung to me. Now that I have you as my girlfriend, I naturally want to tell this news to my close friends as soon as possible! It's also to prevent Yimeng from clinging to me and to avoid making my girlfriend jealous."

After hearing this, I suddenly realized why Qin Yiran had looked so strange. It was because Han Heng was my boyfriend now, and she probably had no one to hang out with.

"Yes, you have a point." I nodded, understanding his concerns. After all, Yimeng has a childish temper and might do something outrageous.

Han Heng pulled me to the dining table and pulled out a chair for me. "Sit down and try the dishes my private chef made. See if they suit your taste."

Looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, I felt a surge of happiness. "They look delicious, thank you, Xiao Hengheng."

We sat down and began to enjoy lunch, chatting as we ate in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. Han Heng would occasionally put food on my plate and ask me with concern if I had eaten enough.

"By the way, do you have any plans for this afternoon?" Han Heng asked.

"I plan to go back and refine the plan further. What about you?"

“I also have some work to do. But…” he paused, “I hope we can have dinner together tonight.”

I smiled and said, "Of course! I'm looking forward to it too."

After lunch, Han Heng drove me back to my lab. As we parted, he gently kissed my forehead. "See you this afternoon, baby."

I nodded, blushing, and walked into the lab. Thinking about my date that evening, I felt incredibly happy.

The lab is quiet now; I guess everyone's out for lunch.

I walked into my own office, sat down at my desk, opened a drawer, and took out an exquisite wooden box.

Inside the wooden box, I found one of each of the ten types of pills that the system had given me as a reward in the previous lottery.

I gently stroked the surface of the wooden box, feeling its warmth and texture. Then, I carefully opened the box, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out.

I looked at the ten different colored pills in the wooden box, my heart filled with curiosity and anticipation. These pills were all obtained through a lottery from the system, and each one had unique effects and uses.

I picked up a red pill and carefully examined its shape and color. The pill was round and smooth, with a faint glow on its surface, like a precious gem.

I took a gentle sniff and detected a rich aroma. Then, I put the pill in my mouth and slowly chewed it. The pill tasted bitter, but it was quickly replaced by a sweetness.

I felt a warm current flow from my throat into my stomach, then spread throughout my body. My body began to heat up, and my mind became exceptionally clear.

Next, I tried several other types of pills, each one surprising and exciting me. Some pills could improve cultivation, some could heal injuries, and others could enhance physical constitution.

These pills are extremely precious treasures. If used properly, they will greatly help my cultivation and combat.

Finally, I put all the pills back into the wooden box and locked it again. I decided to study the effects and uses of these pills carefully so that I could make full use of them when needed.

Time ticked by, and I was completely absorbed in my research. Before I knew it, it was 4:14 PM. Just then, a knock on the door broke the silence.

It was Han Heng. He gently pushed open the door, his movements very soft, as if afraid of disturbing me. His face held a hint of anticipation and curiosity as he softly asked, "Are you preparing to break through?"

I put down the pill in my hand, looked up at him, and smiled gently. I nodded and replied, "Yes, I suppressed it for another day yesterday, and I feel that I might not be able to suppress it today."

Han Heng's face showed a hint of worry after hearing my words, but he quickly regained his composure. He handed me a glass of warm water, his eyes full of concern, gesturing for me to drink some first.

I took the water glass and realized my throat was dry and my voice was a little hoarse. It turned out that I hadn't drunk any water all day, which had caused my throat to be dry.

Watching me gulp down the water, Han Heng continued the previous topic: "I went to the Yan family this afternoon and we've already discussed it. I'll take you to their forbidden area today, and I'll accompany you on your breakthrough."

After drinking the water, my throat felt cool and much better. I chuckled and teased, "Little Hengheng, you're so considerate! Which beautiful woman trained you to be so good? I should go thank her!"

Hearing my words, Han Heng couldn't help but laugh so hard he bent over, his eyes narrowing into slits, his face beaming with happiness. He affectionately patted my hair, his tone tinged with doting: "This is all thanks to what my mother taught me since I was little. You're my first love, after all. If you want to thank someone, you can thank me first, and then thank my mother."

I looked at him with some surprise, wondering to myself, "This guy is so handsome and charming, how come no one is pursuing him? And he's even her first love? That's just unbelievable!"

Han Heng seemed to see through my thoughts and said irritably, "When have I ever lied to you, you silly girl? I'm usually too aloof, no one dares to approach me. Only you, you idiot, aren't afraid of me. And Yi Meng, she only sees me as a brother, so she doesn't count."

I chuckled and poked his chest. "So you're actually a cool and aloof heartthrob!"

Han Heng grabbed my hand, kissed it lightly, and said, "Right now, I just want to be your devoted and caring man."

My face instantly turned red, and my heart started racing.

"Alright, let's get going." Han Heng gently took my hand and led me out of the office. Along the way, Han Heng drove skillfully, while I sat quietly in the passenger seat, enjoying this rare moment of peace.

We talked about many topics, from everyday life to future plans, and every topic made us feel incredibly relaxed and happy.

Time flew by, and soon Han Heng drove me to the forbidden area of ​​the Yan family. Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Before getting out of the car, I couldn't help but ask him, "Han Heng, why didn't you bring Yan Luo with you? Are you sure it'll be okay for us to go by ourselves?"

Han Heng smiled and stopped the car, then gently tapped my forehead with his long, slender fingers and said, "Little Lele, don't worry. I've already talked to them, we can just go directly there."

"Besides, we might not even be able to get in with Lolo." Hearing him say that, I felt a little more at ease, but I was still a little uneasy.

With a mix of anticipation and unease, I followed Han Heng closely, step by step, into this mysterious place. He led me into the cave, carefully passing through what looked like a protective shield.

As I walked through it, a wonderful feeling welled up inside me, as if my whole body was enveloped in a warm power, which was very comfortable.

Upon entering the cave, I was amazed to find it filled with a rich spiritual energy that soothed and refreshed me. This was truly an ideal place for breakthroughs! I couldn't help but marvel at the wonder and beauty of nature.

Cultivating here will definitely be twice as effective! Han Heng protected me from the side, and after combining the pill he gave me, the remaining 7 peaches, and the peach fragments, he took them out and placed them in front of me. There were 8 peaches, which should be enough. After swallowing the pill, I began to break through with peace of mind.

During the breakthrough, I felt a powerful force surge into my heart, releasing all the spiritual energy that had been suppressed for the past few days. It surged wildly within my body, as if trying to break free from its constraints.

I gritted my teeth and tried my best to control this powerful spiritual energy, guiding it to flow along my meridians and constantly challenge the bottleneck.

Each impact brought a sharp pain, but I knew it was a necessary step to break through. I clenched my fists tightly, my whole body soaked in sweat, yet I persisted in trying.

Finally, after countless attempts, the bottleneck was broken, and a brand new power surged into his body.

I felt my body become light, as if I could fly. My previously tired body was instantly filled with vitality, and every cell was cheering with joy.

I opened my eyes and saw that the world around me had become exceptionally clear; I could even clearly perceive the flow of spiritual energy in the air.

I've made it! A surge of joy welled up inside me, and I was filled with anticipation for the future.

This breakthrough taught me the importance of perseverance and hard work; only by constantly challenging myself can I continuously improve. Next, I will continue my cultivation, exploring higher realms, and becoming a truly powerful cultivator.

Before I could enjoy my happiness for long, the sun suddenly disappeared from the sky, replaced by a large patch of dark, heavy clouds that rapidly gathered together at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This dark cloud seemed to have a life of its own, following me closely, and no matter where I went, it always remained above my head.

My soul felt a tremor I had never felt before, a feeling that filled me with fear.

"It seems my tribulation has begun," I muttered to myself, gazing at the gathering thunderclouds in the sky. Han Heng stood beside me, his eyes filled with concern and worry.

He knew this was an inevitable tribulation on my path of cultivation, but he still couldn't help but feel worried for me.

Han Heng gently held my hand, encouraging me: "Don't be afraid, believe in your abilities." I smiled slightly, expressing my gratitude.

Although I was a little nervous, I knew that this was a crucial step in my growth.

The thunderclouds gathered thicker and thicker, as if the entire sky were shrouded in darkness. Lightning flashed through the clouds, creating a series of booming sounds. Han Heng gripped my hand tightly, reminding me to be careful.

I took a deep breath, adjusted my mindset, and prepared to face the challenges ahead. Han Heng's support made me feel incredibly at ease; I knew that no matter what, he would be by my side.
