ABRWF Chapter 405.1

The smell of nicotine slowly drifted through the air.

Lu Qingyan sat in the leather chair opposite her, his long legs crossed, looking like a monarch overlooking everything in the dimly lit basement.

Tao Tao told him everything: her name, her purpose, her experiences, and even that Jiang Nanshu might not have died, but had simply left this world and returned to another. Although it was unbelievable, it was Lu Qingyan’s knowing expression that terrified her.

After the initial fear subsided, she begged for mercy, believing that she could live if she confessed everything.

But she was being too optimistic.

He had gone mad.

He actually demanded that she tell him the shortcut to Jiang Nanshu’s world.

Haha…

Where was the shortcut?

How could someone without a system break through dimensions?

And her system had left when she chose Chu Muxi’s body.

They were merely travelers. The system’s role was to select a chosen female lead from a different dimension, let them experience it, and then return to retrieve their soul after the body’s death, allowing them to experience the next one.

Throughout this process, the future fate of the person whom they chose was entirely in their hands.

If they were unhappy, they could simply commit suicide.

Because they had two chances.

And she used her second chance on Chu Muxi.

So she could no longer leave this world.

But for whom?

She did it for Lu Qingyan.

She loved him so much that when the system provided photos of the male and female leads from different dimensions, she chose him at first glance.

But the lover she had chosen was now holding a knife to her, a blade that could pierce her heart at any moment.

No love or affection was as important as her life.

She didn’t want to die; she hadn’t lived enough.

She only hoped Jiang Nanshu would discover her location and lead the police to rescue her. If she could get out, she would sue Lu Qingyan to the bitter end and ruin his reputation.

The more she had loved him before, the more she hated him now. But fear dominated her body.

“Are you thinking about when my wife will find you and rescue you?” Lu Qingyan’s cold voice suddenly rang out.

Tao Tao’s eyes widened, her body trembling slightly: “No, no…”

How could this be… How could he know what she was thinking?

“It was my oversight that she found you. Luckily, you didn’t run off and offend her eyes. Someone like you deserves to go to hell, Tao Tao.” His voice was indifferent.

Calling her name sent a shiver down her spine, like… a lover’s whisper, even briefly making her forget her fear.

It had been many years since anyone had called her name.

These travelers only need to live with other people’s faces and names.

They were not born into privilege, nor were they beautiful. They were just ordinary people among the masses, feeling inferior, lacking affection, and prone to daydreaming, dreaming of being a princess who was loved by everyone and the center of attention.

Driven by extreme longing, these systems often chose them, letting them experience life, because they felt no guilt for taking someone else’s destiny; they only felt excitement.

“Lu Qingyan… I didn’t hurt her. Didn’t she come back safe and sound?” Chu Muxi continued to excuse herself.

Safe and sound?

Come back?

Lu Qingyan chuckled softly.

A ring lay in his palm.

It was a woman’s ring, made for Jiang Nanshu’s size.

It didn’t even qualify as a wedding ring.

Because he didn’t have it.

Jiang Nanshu had never mentioned him either.
