To make sure that this man was pretending, Li Yue decided to test him. "I mean.. We got married two months ago. But you decided to divorce me last week." She said, her face was full of dejection. "Because of Bai Lan."

"Bai Lan? My step sister Bai Lan?" Confusion laced Mo Li's eyes.

Good. Very Good! This Mo Li was actually a very good actor! Li Yue decided to continue. "You and Bai Lan… are together now." She lowered her head. "You don't love me anymore." Her voice turned meek, tears started to pool in her eyes. She was not a very good actress, but this expression was actually because of the helplessness that she felt inside. In her current state, crying was very easy for someone like Li Yue.

"You— Are you sure?" Mo Li asked. She nodded in response.

"But Mo Li… you know I still love you right?" She raised her head and looked at him. This time, she didn't miss the complicated expression in his eyes. Tears started rolling down Li Yue's cheeks. She bit her trembling lips. Coupled with the sound of flickering fire and the occasional hustling from the wind, the current scene really looked emotional.

[Side Quest: Discover Mo Li's past. Reward: Ten Coins. Accept?]

"…" Her system had been silent for too long. However, this system was the one responsible for saving her earlier. Because of that, her current coins or points were already in the negative. She needed to complete some quests to at least have five coins with her. 'Accept'

[You have ten hours to make Mo Li talk about his past on his own.]

Ten hours? Does this mean that she and Mo Li would have to stay in this place for another ten hours? Isn't that too…

"You love me?" Mo Li asked. Li Yue could not really understand the look on the man's face. It was as if… he was in between laughing and crying. Does this mean she was not convincing at all? Without waiting for her answer, Mo Li let out a sigh. "Alright… you win. Stop crying. I don't have amnesia. Your face is extremely ugly when you cry."

"…" So rude! When Li Yue heard this, she immediately turned her head away and wiped the tears in her eyes. This man was as rude as her, she actually hated it! She opened her mouth to say something only to hear the pattering sound of the raindrops. It seemed that the storm was finally here. She met his eyes. "Good." A smile bloomed on her face. "Who would have thought that the great Mo Li could not stand to watch a girl cry."

Mo Li ignored her, instead he raised his head and looked at the canopy of leaves above them. "Eat." He shifted his gaze back to Li Yue. "I saved you once. It is only natural that you will pay me back."

"I am weak and poor. I can't pay you back with strength or cash."

"Then give me your body."

"…" What was this scenario? Wasn't this just like the Drama that she had watched? Li Yue decided to ignore him and think about the current circ.u.mstances of the plot. Currently, Mo Li was already considered safe, right? Meaning, he wouldn't have any interest in Li Weiwei. Her mission should have been completed right? After all, she had already changed the future with her current actions. So, why did the system not say anything? Instead, the system actually gave her another task.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #'s-redemption_17733026705591705/more-complicated_48781358717262308 for visiting.

Was it possible that all the tasks were connected? First task was the one that involved the heiress Lu Xinyi. Then the step sister Bai Lan followed by the stepmother Sun Fengmian and half brother Mo Fang. After that, the system went silent and didn't give her any more tasks. It didn't give her any task when Lizzy tried to frame her either.

'System… is there something wrong with the plot?'

[Unable to provide information. Please try again later]

She fought the urge to roll her eyes. This system was extremely unreliable but it actually saved her when she was about to die. Again, Li Yue thought about the things that had happened in the past. In the original timeline, none of these would have happened since Li Yue was not close to Mo Li. However, her closeness to Mo Li had changed something.

First, she thought of Lu Xinyi. She was rich and arrogant and she seemed to be familiar with the Mo Family. Bai Lan and Sun Fengmian as well as Mo Fang were all from the Mo Family. Why did it seem like everything was leading her to the Mo Family? Li Yue knew that the Mo Family were extremely complicated and she had already decided not to involve herself in their matters anymore. However, it seemed that fate had other plans for her?

She sighed inwardly. The current quest about Mo Li's past should be enough to cement her previous assumptions. These tasks were indeed connected to the Mo Family. But why? Did her appearance change something about the plot? Mo Li was now saved by Li Yue. Yet, the system didn't tell her anything about the main quests.

Was it possible that… No… she shook her head. Mo Li was this world's villain. But her actions had changed the future. Was it possible that these changes triggered something and also changed the villain of this world? Was that why the system had been silent lately? She eyed the man next to her and asked, "Mo Li… who was the person that was trying to kill me?"

Mo Li raised an eyebrow before he sighed. "That should have been Sun Fengmian. She wanted me to protect you and put myself in danger for you."

Li Yue turned silent. Did this mean that the real villain was now Sun Fengmian? But if that's the case then… what was Mo Li's role? She gulped. No, Mo Li was still the future Villain of this world but… Wait… to trigger the villain… something emotional should happen. In the original timeline, his love for Li Weiwei triggered his anger towards Xia Jin. Without that… Mo Li wouldn't have attacked them. Therefore, he wouldn't really become... the villain?

In the end Li Yue massaged her temple. It seems that this was more complicated than she thought.
