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

"No rush, come and sit for a while, you'll find out soon enough."

Chu Lingxiu looked at Lin Yuan and said.

His father hasn't returned yet, so he has to wait a while longer.

Lin Yuan remained silent. He moved step by step to the sofa and sat down.

Lin Yuan had visited the Chu family before, but each time he came, he had no good memories. Therefore, he harbored some resistance towards the Chu family.

The main reason is that in front of Chu Lingxiu, he acts more like a younger brother than his younger brother Chu Haojie.

Seeing Lin Yuan so hesitant, Chu Lingxiu couldn't help but find it amusing. The notorious young master of Beicheng, feared by everyone, was like a well-behaved child in front of her.

Are you still pursuing Gu Qingyi?

Chu Lingxiu suddenly asked.

"Huh? That's all, I'm not going to chase after it anymore."

Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised, never expecting that Chu Lingxiu would suddenly ask him such a question.

"It's good that we're not chasing after it anymore."

Chu Lingxiu nodded.

She also treated Lin Yuan like her own younger brother. She watched Lin Yuan pursue Gu Qingyi for three years, but Gu Qingyi remained unmoved, and she felt that it wasn't worth it for Lin Yuan.

However, as a girl, she could understand Gu Qingyi.

It's all because Lin Yuan, that idiot, did something stupid and even got pregnant. Such despicable behavior is indeed unappealing to women.

The two chatted idly, making small talk.

Chu Haojie knelt beside them, listening intently to their conversation.

After waiting for about an hour, Chu Lingxiu and Chu Haojie's father finally returned home.

As soon as Chu Huarong got home, he saw his son kneeling on a washboard. He was really angry and went into the house to start cursing at Chu Haojie.

"You good-for-nothing! All you do is eat, drink, and have fun. You eat when you wake up, play when you eat, and sleep when you play. You're not even as good as a pig. At least you can fatten a pig up and eat meat. What can you do?"

"Can't you ever give your sister and me a break? We're busy dealing with company matters and you, do you think we have three heads and six arms, or that we can be in two places at once?"

Faced with his father's insults, Chu Haojie lowered his head and remained silent, not daring to utter a word in response.

After venting his anger, Chu Huarong felt much better, finally releasing the pent-up frustration in his chest.

He turned his head and saw his daughter, and then he saw Lin Yuan.

Chu Huarong disliked Lin Yuan very much because he always believed that Chu Haojie had become the way he was now entirely because he had been corrupted by Lin Yuan.

"Hello, Uncle Chu."

Lin Yuan greeted him politely.

"Ah."

Chu Huarong simply responded with a curt word, flicked his sleeve, and prepared to go to his study. He intended to simply ignore Lin Yuan and Chu Haojie.

But at that moment, Chu Lingxiu spoke up.

"Dad, there's something I need to tell you."

Hearing that it was his daughter who spoke, Chu Huarong stopped and turned to look at her, saying...

"Speak, what is it?"

His daughter was the only one in the family who made him feel at ease, and he was proud of her, so he would listen to whatever she said.

"I'm dating Lin Yuan!"

Boom!

Chu Huarong felt as if his head had exploded, then went completely blank. He stared blankly at his daughter, somewhat incredulous.

Lin Yuan wasn't much better off. He stared blankly at Chu Lingxiu. What was going on? We agreed on a small favor, how did it turn into us dating? When did this happen? How come I didn't know?

Chu Haojie's eyes widened and his mouth gaped open. He then gave Lin Yuan a thumbs up.

"What did you just say? Say it again?"

"I said, I'm dating Lin Yuan!"

Chu Lingxiu remained calm and composed as she spoke again.

[System task completed, task reward issued, host has successfully advanced to become an ancient martial artist.]

Chu Lingxiu heard the system's voice in her mind, and immediately afterwards, she felt her body enveloped by a warm current.

After the warm current dissipated, Chu Lingxiu felt that her body had undergone an unprecedented change. Her body was full of strength, her spirit was more vigorous, her attention was more focused, and she could perceive even the slightest movement around her more directly.

"It's true! I really have become a martial arts practitioner."

This fact made Chu Lingxiu very happy, and she unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.

"You bastard, how can you still laugh?"

At that moment, Chu Huarong shouted loudly.

Chu Lingxiu's smile vanished. She had almost forgotten that the situation was still quite dire, and the words she had uttered in order to complete the system task had probably infuriated her father.

Because his father disliked Lin Yuan very much, believing that Lin Yuan had corrupted Chu Haojie.

Chu Lingxiu was about to explain that it was just a joke or something.

But the words were on the tip of her tongue, and she swallowed them back.

Because she was thinking about her father's pressure to get married and the blind dates he was introducing her to, she didn't like it. So she decided to go with the flow and use Lin Yuan as her shield.

"Dad, it's my freedom to date. I can date whoever I want."

Chu Lingxiu stated directly that she was not afraid of her father at all, because she had lived independently since she was very young and faced all kinds of problems on her own, so she had a very strong sense of autonomy.

"Yes, that is indeed your freedom, but you can't go looking for Lin Yuan. Don't you know what kind of person he is?"

Chu Huarong was completely helpless with this daughter. She was capable and had her own opinions, but she could let it go with other people, but Lin Yuan was absolutely out of the question. He would never agree to this matter.

“I understand, but I am confident that I can get Lin Yuan to correct all his faults.”

"You're confident? I can only tell you that a leopard can't change its spots. If he could change, he would have done so long ago, and he wouldn't have this bad reputation now."

Chu Huarong didn't believe it. Could Lin Yuan really get better? Only if the sun rose in the west.

Lin Yuan didn't like hearing these words. He knew that Chu Huarong didn't like him, but these words were really too much.

"Uncle Chu, you should look at me with new eyes after three days of separation. I am not the same person I was before. I will never be the same as before."

Lin Yuan said.

Lin Yuan's original intention was to defend himself, but in Chu Huarong's eyes, it was as if Lin Yuan was talking nonsense after dating his daughter in order to make himself accept her.

I disagree with this.

Chu Huarong said.

"Lingxiu, you've always been someone who makes my life easier, how could you do this again..."

"Dad, I know you don't like Lin Yuan, but I want to make my own decisions about my feelings."

Chu Lingxiu looked at her father and said directly.

"Fine, fine, fine, you decide for yourself, you decide for yourself, I don't care anymore!"

After finishing his sentence, Chu Huarong stormed off and went back to his study.
