What? All the female protagonists have systems, but I don't?

The next day, Gu Qingyi opened her eyes groggily.

She rubbed her temples, feeling a bit heavy-headed. Opening her eyes, she saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

She immediately became alert, sat up in bed, and then discovered that all her clothes had been taken off.

She frowned, but didn't feel any discomfort except for a slight stomachache.

As she vaguely recalled the events of last night, her pretty face flushed. She had drunk too much last night and had said some incoherent things!

The thought of telling Lin Yuan to marry her while drunk made Gu Qingyi want to immediately cover her head with the blanket.

After a long while, she finally composed herself, got dressed, and went out.

"Strange, why is nobody here?"

Gu Qingyi walked around the villa, looking inside and out, but there wasn't a single person in sight.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Gu Qingyi exclaimed in surprise.

She discovered that three skill cards had appeared in her system item box.

Gu Qingyi knew what the Mind Reading Skill Card and the SOS Skill Card were for, but what intrigued her was the third one, the Special Summon Skill Card.

[Special Summoning Skill Card: After use, you can summon your closest relatives to appear beside you.]

Looking at the skill card's description, Gu Qingyi frowned. What was the use of this? To summon her closest relatives? Her father or mother? Or perhaps her grandfather? She didn't want to see any of them.

Although I can't think of any use for it, it's fine to keep it in the system item box.

"Now that these three skill cards are in the item box, does that mean last night's mission is complete?"

Gu Qingyi pondered in her heart.

When she saw the mission details, she had already decided to give up the mission reward because she really didn't want to go home.

"Oh right... The task was to contact Lin Yuan and have him come pick me up and take me home. It didn't specify whose home, so even if I don't go back to my own home, the task is considered complete!"

Gu Qingyi instantly understood this point and was quite satisfied. This system wasn't bad; at least it didn't deliberately try to annoy her.

Just as Gu Qingyi was feeling smug, the villa's gate opened, and Lin Yuan arrived with Su Mei and Yang Gang.

Upon entering the living room, one sees Gu Qingyi sitting on the sofa. Her hair is somewhat messy and unkempt, making her look rather disheveled. She also appears listless and dispirited.

"woke up?"

Lin Yuan asked.

"Ah."

Gu Qingyi nodded gently in response.

"are you hungry?"

"Hungry."

Lin Yuan sighed, turned to look at Yang Gang, and gave him instructions.

"Go out and buy some breakfast."

"Yes, Master."

After Yang Gang left, Lin Yuan came to Gu Qingyi's side and sat down on the sofa. Su Mei stood behind him. For a moment, none of the three spoke first.

The silence was agonizing, and finally Gu Qingyi couldn't bear it any longer. She looked at Lin Yuan and asked.

"Last night, you helped me with my clothes..."

Gu Qingyi didn't continue speaking because the thought of Lin Yuan seeing her completely naked made her feel extremely ashamed.

"Don't try to frame me out of thin air. It was Su Mei who helped you get undressed. I'm a gentleman, I wouldn't take advantage of someone in distress."

Lin Yuan immediately denied it.

What a joke! If this is misunderstood, who can you reason with?

"Oh."

Hearing that Su Mei had helped her take off her clothes, Gu Qingyi breathed a slight sigh of relief, but at the same time, she was also a little disappointed.

She reached out and rubbed her slightly flushed cheeks, whispering to herself.

"Oh dear, what am I even thinking!"

"What are you going to do after that? Are you just going to stay away from home forever?"

Lin Yuan looked at Gu Qingyi and asked.

Does her current state suggest that she had a conflict with her family and chose to run away from home?

“Go back? Go back to marry Long Haochen? As long as they don’t annul my engagement with Long Haochen, I won’t go back.”

Gu Qingyi clenched her fist and said with great determination.

"At worst, I'll just live at the company from now on."

"Ambitious!"

Lin Yuan looked at Gu Qingyi and gave her a thumbs up.

In the original novel, Gu Qingyi has this kind of personality: she won't turn back even if she hits a wall, and she'll break through it even if she's bleeding.

It was this tenacity that made her invincible in the original story.

Just as Lin Yuan and Gu Qingyi were talking, Gu Qingyi's phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was her secretary calling, so she answered the call.

As soon as the call connected, I heard the secretary's anxious voice on the other end.

"President Gu, why didn't you come to the company today? You need to come quickly, something terrible has happened. The old chairman said he wants to remove you from your position as president."

"What did you say?"

Gu Qingyi immediately stood up from the sofa; she couldn't believe it was real.

"President Gu, please come quickly. The company is in complete chaos and everyone is panicking."

"Okay, I understand, I'll go there now."

Gu Qingyi hung up the phone, then looked at Lin Yuan and asked.

Do you have a car here? Can I borrow one?

"You're going to drive there yourself? Wasn't your driver's license suspended?"

Lin Yuan looked at Gu Qingyi and asked.

He certainly has a car, but Gu Qingyi's driver's license was revoked last night for speeding. If he lets her drive now, wouldn't that be breaking the law?

"What does it matter? As long as I don't break any rules, would the police station deliberately stop me and check my ID?"

"..."

Lin Yuan looked at Gu Qingyi. He was amazed that she could say such things. Perhaps he had never really understood Gu Qingyi before.

As Gu Qingyi was about to leave, the system's voice rang in her mind.

[System task issued: Go to Tengyuan Group with Lin Yuan and, in front of everyone, annul the engagement with Long Haochen.]

[Mission Completion Rewards: One Mind Reading Skill Card, and one Special Attack Noble Phantasm Against Long Haochen.]

"Ok?"

Gu Qingyi looked at the mission details and rewards, raised her eyebrows, then turned to Lin Yuan and said.

"I don't have a driver's license and can't drive, so please drive me there. It's urgent and we can't wait, please!"

Gu Qingyi looked at Lin Yuan with pleading eyes, her hands clasped together in a pleading gesture, her teary eyes making her look pitiful.

Lin Yuan scratched his head; he found it hard to resist Gu Qingyi's appearance.

"Hey, hurry up!"

Gu Qingyi approached Lin Yuan, grabbed his hand, and pulled him out of the room to the garage.

Lin Yuan sighed helplessly and could only agree to help, because it was uncertain how long it would take for Yang Gang to return, and Gu Qingyi was very anxious and could not wait any longer.

Lin Yuan's garage is full of luxurious cars; you can't find a low-key one.

He chose a two-tone Rolls-Royce, had Su Mei as the driver, and sat in the back with Gu Qingyi, heading towards Tengyuan Group.
