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

At this moment, Lin Yuan was caught between two girls.

In the dim light, he seemed to see a fierce blue dragon behind Gu Qingyi, and a white tiger baring its fangs and claws behind Ye Ling'er.

He was like a little lamb caught in the middle, trembling with fear.

"Where exactly did things go wrong? Aren't I the notorious young master of Beichen who does all sorts of evil deeds? Shouldn't those two leading ladies hate me? Why are they both targeting me now?"

Lin Yuan really couldn't understand when he, this spoiled young master, had become so popular.

Could it be that the saying "women don't love men who aren't a little bad" really holds true?

"My dear sisters, how about I make room for you two to have a meal alone in this room today?"

Lin Yuan then made a suggestion.

This godforsaken place is torture; he doesn't want to stay here for even a quarter of an hour longer.

Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, Ye Ling'er and Gu Qingyi spoke almost simultaneously.

"no!"

Lin Yuan, who was about to leave, immediately stopped in his tracks. What was this all about?

“Miss Ye, when is it not possible to have dinner with Lin Yuan? How about another day? I can treat the two of you to dinner alone another day.”

Gu Qingyi said.

Today, however, Lin Yuan must stay by her side, so there is absolutely no way she can compromise with Ye Ling'er.

Ye Ling'er smiled and replied.

"No, it has to be today, and it can only be today."

Normally, Ye Ling'er might have given in, but not today. No matter what, she had to get the system's mission reward—it was the Taiyi Divine Needle Technique!

"Miss Ye, did you do this on purpose?"

Gu Qingyi frowned. Ye Ling'er was obviously doing this on purpose. This little girl usually disliked Lin Yuan the most.

Sometimes, when attending gatherings, the four major families would inevitably appear together, and encounters were unavoidable. Every time, Ye Ling'er would rebuke Lin Yuan, without exception.

So how could Ye Ling'er suddenly change her opinion of Lin Yuan? And she even wanted to have dinner with him alone, which was obviously a deliberate act of targeting her.

"President Gu, how could I have done that on purpose? I just wanted to express my gratitude to Lin Yuan. He gave my grandfather a thousand-year-old wild ginseng, which was genuine and greatly helped his condition. Isn't it only right to express my thanks?"

"I'm just having a meal with Lin Yuan alone. It won't take long. Can't Mr. Gu wait a bit?"

Ye Ling'er made up a reason.

The thousand-year-old wild ginseng that Lin Yuan gave him did help his grandfather's health, but it was far less important than Ye Ling'er said.

She simply needed a legitimate reason to justify her private dinner with Lin Yuan.

"If it's just a matter of gratitude, then Miss Ye can say it now, and then leave quickly."

Gu Qingyi said calmly.

If they hadn't entered this room yet, she might have agreed to Ye Ling'er's request. But now that she and Lin Yuan were inside, she couldn't predict whether the system mission would fail if Lin Yuan suddenly left.

She didn't want to take that risk.

"A verbal thank you is not enough to express my gratitude to Lin Yuan, so I must have him have a meal with me alone."

"Mr. Gu, don't be nervous. It's just a meal. I won't compete with you for Lin Yuan. After we finish eating, I'll help you bring Lin Yuan back, how about that?"

Gu Qingyi glanced at Ye Ling'er and gave a soft hum.

"Miss Ye, what if I say no?"

"Then I won't leave until you agree."

Ye Ling'er said, and stepped directly into the room. She sat down opposite Gu Qingyi, and the two women glared at each other.

Neither woman would give in to the other; at that moment, they both had only one thought in their minds.

"I don't believe you can stay here forever without leaving."

"I don't believe you can keep refusing to agree."

Time passed little by little, eight o'clock in the evening, nine o'clock, ten o'clock, eleven o'clock...

For several hours, none of the three people in the room uttered a single word.

Every time Lin Yuan tried to speak, he would be glared at by both girls, so he eventually just lay on the bed and started playing on his phone.

It was almost midnight, and Gu Qingyi and Ye Ling'er were extremely anxious. The time set by the system was almost up, but they had not yet completed their task.

"Mr. Gu, are you really that unwilling to let Lin Yuan and me have a meal alone?"

Ye Ling'er frowned and asked.

When did Gu Qingyi become so protective of Lin Yuan? Is she so possessive? She won't even let others have a meal with Lin Yuan?

"Miss Ye, I've made myself very clear, not today!"

"you……"

Ye Ling'er clenched her fists; "another day" meant absolutely nothing to her.

One second, one minute, one hour—as the clock struck twelve, the system announced the results of this mission.

[Unfortunately, the host has not completed the system task, and the reward of plot number one in the northern suburbs has expired.]

[Unfortunately, the host has not completed the system task, and the reward, the Taiyi Divine Needle Technique, has expired.]

Gu Qingyi and Ye Ling'er heard the strange voice coming from their minds, and they both glared at each other at the same time.

It's all because of this woman in front of me that I didn't get the system mission reward. I've made an enemy of her today.

"Mr. Gu, it's getting late, so I won't disturb your good time with Lin Yuan any longer. Goodbye."

Ye Ling'er stood up and said.

Gu Qingyi stood up at this moment and said.

"Miss Ye, thanks to you, I've lost interest. Now you can have dinner alone with Lin Yuan as a token of your gratitude."

Both of them were angry, but neither showed it. They glared at each other again and walked out of the room together.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan quickly changed his clothes and left the room.

The three of them walked out of Haiyue Restaurant together, a scene that caught the attention of the restaurant's staff, who were immediately filled with a strong desire to gossip.

"Lin Yuan, come to my office tomorrow."

Gu Qingyi began speaking directly.

"Huh? Me? Mr. Gu, is it inappropriate for me to go to your office?"

Lin Yuan laughed, he really didn't want to have anything to do with the two women in front of him anymore.

"This isn't a discussion, it's a notification, understand? If I don't see you in my office tomorrow, you're dead."

After Gu Qingyi finished speaking, she drove away.

Ye Ling'er glanced at Lin Yuan without saying much, still somewhat surprised by the relationship between Lin Yuan and Gu Qingyi. When did it become so good?

She drove away, leaving Lin Yuan alone, bewildered in the wind.
