Chapter 52: Realistic Gold Used to Bring Good Luck to Oneself (Fake Gold)
Someone nearby chimed in, "I suspect that if he can't marry you, he'll choose to live alone forever."
At this point, the others got excited and chimed in:
"Sister-in-law, don't you believe me? We know Brother Yan very well. He's definitely deeply in love with you."
“If Brother Yan’s attitude hadn’t been so firm, I would have wanted to break you up directly.”
As soon as he said that, someone next to him quickly nudged him. He realized what he meant and awkwardly snorted, "So what if I thought about it? I've given up now, haven't I?"
"If you're so capable, say it again in front of Brother Yan."
The man immediately fell silent.
These people kept calling him "Brother Yan," but in reality, most of them were older than Yan Chen. They called him "Brother" simply because they admired him.
They were all true friends. Before Yan Chen brought Yun Qing to see them, he had specifically told them to be nice to him and not to bully his wife.
The man touched his nose, coughed lightly twice, and then solemnly said:
"Sister-in-law, we're all family here, so I've been speaking my mind without thinking. Now that things are out in the open, I don't hold it against you anymore. Please don't mind. Also, I apologize for raising my voice a little last time. Come on, let's have a drink!"
He generously filled both of their glasses.
Then, suddenly remembering something, he gave Yun Qing another glass of juice and explained, "Brother Yan specifically instructed that you cannot drink alcohol."
So Yunqing picked up the juice and downed a glass.
Just as that person said, once everything was out in the open, no one took it to heart anymore, and they completely treated her as one of their own.
Some of them had known Yan Chen since childhood and were his classmates for many years. They knew a lot about Yan Chen's student days and were also very good at telling stories.
Yun Qing listened with great interest.
It wasn't too late when the party ended.
Yun Qing was in a good mood as she strolled along the street with Yan Chen. She held Yan Chen's hands and walked backwards, looking down at the ground, trying to keep pace with him so that he would always step on the same spot she had stepped on.
While keeping an eye on the vehicles and pedestrians, Yan Chen was thinking about the marriage proposal. He had almost finished preparing, and after the proposal, it would be time to formally meet each other's parents.
Just then, he was suddenly blinded by the headlights. He looked up and saw a car accelerating wildly toward the roadside.
He vaguely saw Lu Miaomiao's ferocious face inside the car.
Without a second thought, he tackled Yun Qing to the ground, tumbling over her several times to narrowly avoid the oncoming car.
The bodyguards who had been following at a distance rushed over, "Mr. Yan, Madam, are you alright?"
The out-of-control car caused chaos, and other pedestrians screamed and ran away in fear.
No sooner had the bodyguard finished speaking than a loud crash was heard. The car had struck a large tree by the roadside, flipped over, and crashed to the ground.
Yan Chen pulled Yun Qing up from the ground, hugged her, and comforted her, "It's alright, it's alright."
Yun Qing was still a little dazed. She had been facing away from the direction the car had come from and hadn't seen the dangerous scene.
Only when she saw the overturned car in the distance did she realize what had happened.
She quickly pushed Yan Chen away to check if he was injured. When she saw blood on his hands, her heart jumped. "Yan Chen..."
"It's nothing, just a scratch."
When Yan Chen lunged at her, he used one hand to protect the back of her head and the other to cushion her back. When they fell, the impact was almost entirely on his hand, so she inevitably got scrapes.
Yun Qing was a little worried, concerned that a bone might be broken. "Let's go to the hospital to get it checked out."
Yan Chen was carefully examining Yun Qing, checking her condition, when he noticed a slight abrasion on her bare elbow. He nodded and said, "Okay."
The bodyguard immediately called the driver to bring the car over.
Someone at the scene of the car accident has already called for an ambulance.
Someone else tried to check on the people inside the car, and after looking at them, said, "It seems like they're not going to make it."
When Yan Chen saw Yun Qing glance in that direction, he said in a deep voice, "It's Lu Miaomiao."
The person who went to check on the situation then put his hand into the car, and after a while pulled it back, saying, "It seems like he's not breathing."
Yun Qing was stunned. The female lead... was dead?
At this moment, Yan Chen reached out his hand to her and said, "Let's go."
Yun Qing was about to reach out her hand when she looked up and met his gaze. She suddenly froze and withdrew her hand.
She hesitated, sizing up the person in front of her. "Yan Chen?"
Yan Chen frowned in confusion and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?"
Yun Qing looked at him, somewhat bewildered. Something's not right! This isn't Yan Chen!
[System! System! Where is Yan Chen? Where did Yan Chen go? Who is this person?]
The system spoke up: "To be precise, this person is the real male protagonist of the novel, Yan Chen. You can think of him as an NPC. Don't worry, you'll see 'Yan Chen' again in the next world."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qing calmed down a bit.
After thinking carefully about what the system said, I understood.
She is currently in a small world created by someone using the Wheel of Reincarnation. Even though she is in it, it feels like a real world, but in reality, these small worlds are different from the real world.
The people in this small world are all following the plot of the novel, and their character settings are all given by the novel. They are just tools to follow the plot, so it wouldn't be wrong to call them NPCs.
The only characters with real souls are the male and female leads, and the villainous female supporting character. It is only when they act in ways that don't fit the plot that they disrupt the established storylines for the others.
Yun Qing asked in a deep voice: "The person who created this small world is 'Lu Miaomiao,' right?"
【right.】
Yun Qing's expression was somewhat solemn. Lu Miaomiao was dead, so she must have gone to the next world for "reincarnation".
The sudden departure of "Yan Chen" from his character is likely because "Lu Miaomiao" pulled him into the next world, allowing "Lu Miaomiao" to fall in love with "Yan Chen" according to the pre-set storyline in the next world.
Yun Qing: !!!
[System! Let's go! Let's go to the next world.]
If I'm too late, my husband will be stolen away.
[Ding—Preparing to leave the small world, sealing the host's memories of the small world.]
[System!!!] Why are you sealing her memories?
System: I did as you instructed, so don't blame me.

In a small, empty garden, a little boy with delicate features, chubby cheeks, and wearing narrow-sleeved ancient clothing is placing a plate on a stone table.
"Here, this is your reward, three dishes."
The woman sitting at the stone table was also dressed in ancient costume, exuding an ethereal aura.
Her eyes sparkled, and a slight smile appeared on her lips, making the most beautiful flowers in the garden pale in comparison. Her long eyelashes fluttered twice, like butterflies about to take flight.
As if remembering something, she stopped smiling, her bright, autumn-water-like eyes scrutinizing the little boy. She parted her red lips slightly and said leisurely:
"Looks like I did a good job with my mission in the last world! System, are you sure you didn't withhold my rewards? And why don't I have any memories of the last world? Is that something you did? Shouldn't you compensate me?"
System: ...You're very greedy, you know that?
He glanced at Yun Qing's ethereal figure, then sighed and said, "I'll give you one more dish, that's all I have!"
I need to be careful too! Otherwise, what will I use to fool you later?
Yun Qing stopped there, picked up a piece of pastry with her fair fingers, took a bite, and looked satisfied.
The system reminded, "Host, hurry up and eat. After you finish eating and digest for a while, we need to head to the next world."
What's the rush?
System: ...Hehe, I don't know who was in a hurry before.
"I have some divine wine here, would you like to try a sip?"
Yun Qing looked over immediately, and the system gave her a small cup, saying, "This is the reward for the mission in the next world."
After tasting them, Yun Qing quickly finished the four plates of spirit fruit crystal cakes, then clapped her hands and said, "Let's go!"
"Wait! Take a break first."
I can't make the same mistake as last time in the small world, which made me so worried. This time, my physical condition must perfectly match the character.
