Ling Qianhe wanted to know what she was thinking.
Lin Muchen almost blurted out, *I want you to have my child*—fortunately, her sanity remained.
She suppressed the urge to blurt it out.
Lin Muchen looked at Ling Qianhe.
"Wait for me for a moment."
"I'll tell you later."
She needed to negotiate with the system first!
Lin Muchen asked the system.
"If my popularity reaches the required level, what skills can I draw?"
She was quite curious about this.
When the system heard Lin Muchen's question,
it adopted a very serious demeanor.
"As stated, it requires the host's world popularity to reach fifty percent!"
A subtle gleam flashed in Lin Muchen's eyes. She countered in her mind.
"Oh?"
"Can't you give me a sneak peek? Don't you love me anymore?"
"If you're going to be like this, I'll pack you up and give you to Ling Qianhe right now!"
The little system trembled.
"No, don't..."
"Alright."
"I'll let you see."
The little system unfurled its skill pool display.
Allowing Lin Muchen to see the skills in the skill pool in advance.
She glanced at them and suddenly wondered what the system was thinking...
These skills seemed to offer her no benefit at all.
[Mind-Reading Skill: This skill allows Ling Qianhe to hear Lin Muchen's innermost sarcastic remarks!]
Lin Muchen was stunned.
What kind of nonsense was this?
Allowing Ling Qianhe to know her true thoughts?
If he could read her mind, it would be disastrous.
If he heard her sarcastic remarks, it would be bad news no matter how she looked at it.
He would definitely torment her ferociously!
And there were those kinds of scenarios where someone says no but means yes.
*Sob sob sob*, she absolutely didn't want that!
And then there was:
[Disguise Skill: This skill allows him to disguise himself. As a superstar, he is often harassed by paparazzi and obsessive fans. This skill can effectively prevent these situations. Note: (If used well, this skill can allow the host to date Ling Qianhe openly on the streets!)]
Another skill that was only useful for Ling Qianhe!
Damn it!
Allowing her to date Ling Qianhe openly...
As if being in his presence would somehow prevent him from dating openly.
How could that be!
Ling Qianhe's courage was definitely the audacious kind!
He would absolutely dare to do all sorts of...
Extremely bold things!
Lin Muchen couldn't help but complain.
What kind of ridiculous skills were these?
[Stock Market Manipulation Skill: This skill allows Ling Qianhe to predict stock market trends within a certain period and manipulate the market. Note: This skill can be used by him to deal with Feng Yuting and Madam Ling!]
Lin Muchen saw this.
She finally nodded with some reservation.
*Reluctantly satisfied.jpg*.
This skill was somewhat useful, mainly because it wouldn't be used against her.
If it were possible.
She most hoped she would draw this one.
A skill that could help him in business warfare.
And finally, there was one more skill to draw, marked with a profusion of question marks!
Lin Muchen couldn't help but frown and asked the system.
"What is this?"
"Why are they all question marks?"
The system happily provided her with an explanation.
"This one."
"Hmm—"
The system hesitated.
"This skill is hidden, so it won't be displayed."
"It will only be revealed if you draw it."
"But don't worry, host, the probability of drawing these skills is the same. We would never secretly tamper with things!"
However, by saying this, it gave the impression of "protesting too much."
Won't tamper?
As if!
Meanwhile, Ling Qianhe looked at her, his eyes filled with all-knowing comprehension.
He smiled and asked Lin Muchen.
"Are you negotiating with the system in your mind?"
"Have you finished talking?"
The little system trembled again, not daring to speak.
Lin Muchen remained silent—damn, Ling Qianhe was too perceptive.
She almost suspected he had drawn the mind-reading skill beforehand.
She huddled in the cold storage, unsure how to respond. Just then, the door was kicked open, and Lin Muchen's heart tightened.
Fearing pirates had broken in.
Fortunately.
It wasn't.
The man who burst in immediately rushed over and hugged her!
"Xiao Ci? Are you alright? Your mother is going crazy with worry!"
It was Uncle Li, sent by Madam Lin Cuiping.
Uncle Li, whose real name was Li Fugui, held her tightly and refused to let go.
He meticulously examined her from head to toe, inside and out.
Only after confirming she was indeed safe and sound did he deeply sigh with relief.
"It's good that you're alright."
Then came the others from the 'God of Wolves' mercenary group! The pirates had been subdued, they were saved!
...
[According to our station news, the cruise ship 'Destiny' that was hijacked by pirates on the high seas has been jointly rescued by the international community...]
[Fox has yet to issue any comments.]
[There were no casualties among the hostages. We will bring you further reports!]
The news played incessantly at the airport.
Madam Lin Cuiping, Lin Muchen's mother, rushed forward in an instant, directly embracing Lin Muchen and refusing to let go!
"Xiao Ci, are you alright?"
"You scared Mommy to death, woohoo, those accursed pirates!"
"Weren't you filming a variety show? How could those accursed pirates do this—Mommy is so angry!"
She stamped her feet in anger and fury.
"You shouldn't have gone on this unlucky variety show! And being with Ling Qianhe, the pirates must have targeted him because of his fame!"
"And implicated our Xiao Ci! Humph!"
Madam Lin Cuiping was experiencing misplaced anger.
Lin Muchen coughed twice; Madam Lin Cuiping was hugging her so tightly she could barely breathe!
Ling Qianhe took half a step forward. He looked at Madam Lin Cuiping with a heavy tone.
His incredibly handsome face was etched with heart-wrenching tenderness.
"It's all my fault."
"It's all my fault for implicating Xiao Ci."
"You are Xiao Ci's mother, so of course, you are worried and sad."
"It's only right that you scold me or hit me."
"It's all my fault."
"Please punish me severely."
His attitude was surprisingly good!
And his tone could be considered quite humble. Hearing Ling Qianhe's humble tone,
Madam Lin Cuiping's expression instantly changed.
She had been intending to confront Ling Qianhe aggressively.
Now her tone softened considerably.
"You didn't want this..."
"Forget it, it's all the pirates' fault. They should all be dragged to international court for trial!"
"But has your show finished filming? Are you still going to shoot the rest?"
There was still no news from Fox.
Madam Lin Cuiping muttered to herself.
"My daughter, I'm taking her home. I absolutely won't let our precious daughter suffer such grievances!"
"It's too dangerous!"
"We're not filming anymore!"
She turned her head and looked at Lin Muchen.
Then she earnestly tried to persuade Lin Muchen.
"Listen to Mommy, stop acting, isn't inheriting the family fortune more pleasant?"
She looked at Lin Muchen hopefully, trying to get an answer from her.
Lin Muchen gave a wry smile.
"This is work... let's see what the agent says first."
"Where's Yang Weiyang? Is she safe?"
Yang Weiyang had left with Hank, and Hank had already reported their safety.
Fei Siyu had also been brought out, which was why the news media reported everyone was safe.
And she was still hugging Madam Lin Cuiping.
She had to patiently explain to Madam Lin Cuiping that this was just an accident.
There wouldn't be such dangerous moments in the future.
Meanwhile, the outside world was abuzz with discussions!
[Xiao Ci and Brother Qianhe, please report your safety quickly!]
[Shouldn't they be awarded medals for bravery... this could be made into a movie, it's so thrilling and exciting—absolutely amazing!]
[Qianhe looked incredibly cool playing Russian roulette.]
[And when he fought and spoke harshly, *sob sob sob*.]
[He said Xiao Ci was his woman and no other man was allowed to covet her.]
[I really... I was truly, truly amazed by him.]
Fans were discussing all sorts of things.
Lin Muchen waited for the production crew to arrive and return her and Ling Qianhe's phones.
The moment she opened her phone, the messages nearly exploded.
The other two members of the "Times Girls" group were going crazy.
Han Jiuzhen: "Xiao Ci, how are you and Weiyang?"
"Are you safe?"
Ou Ruola: "Please don't have any accidents, woohoo, we haven't had our world tour yet... Xiao Ci, you and Weiyang must be safe!"
Then there was the famous actress Zhao Lan, with whom she had collaborated.
"Xiao Ci? Are you safe? I've already contacted my friends at Fox, and they said they are doing their best to rescue you, hang in there!"
"We will also dispatch rescue teams, we will never give up on you! Xiao Ci, you must persevere!"
He Yunru also sent her a message.
"I've used my family's connections to contact the world's most formidable mercenaries, and I heard they're already on their way—you will definitely be safe!"
Lin Muchen looked at the various messages, and a warmth welled up in her heart.
Many people... cared about her.
The fan club was desperately praying for her.
Everyone wished they could beg all the gods and the Jade Emperor, as long as she was safe. As she sat in the car heading home, Madam Lin Cuiping still looked extremely fearful.
"You absolutely cannot get close to Ling Qianhe anymore!"
"He was present just now, so I couldn't say anything. I see him as a jinx; getting close to him brings misfortune!"
"I asked your Uncle Zhaolong to do a background check on him. It turns out he's an illegitimate son of the Ling family!"
"The kind who's not favored by his father or mother. His mother passed away very early, and he was sent to an orphanage as a child, growing up through hardship."
"He seemed to have a pretty good relationship with an older sister in the orphanage, but that sister disappeared, leaving no trace of her whereabouts!"
"And after he debuted as a celebrity, he was involved with his assistant, but that assistant also disappeared!"
"Your Uncle Zhaolong said this guy is very dangerous!"
"And the people around him keep disappearing... Xiao Ci, I think you shouldn't be with such a dangerous person!"
Madam Lin Cuiping looked at Lin Muchen with extreme seriousness.
"Xiao Ci, you need to consider this: if he truly is a bringer of disaster, who brings misfortune to those around him."
"Then, for your safety, I hope you stay away from him!"
The system couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.
"Hahaha, Madam Lin Cuiping is now guarding against fire, theft, and Ling Qianhe!"
"She completely regards Ling Qianhe as a dangerous individual..."
"Tsk tsk tsk, Ling Qianhe has seriously offended his future mother-in-law. How will he ever visit her home in the future!"
The system sighed with emotion.
"Ling Qianhe, he's in trouble!"
Having offended his future mother-in-law, he's doomed!
