Arc 1: President, Love Me Gently – Chapter 7

The heroine’s profile was loaded up in front of her again, and although Yu Xiaoyu had seen her picture many times before, when she looked at her again this time there was a subtle difference in her mood.

The female protagonist was a pretty girl, with a pair of big, pitiful eyes on her small, palm-sized face, and a small cherry mouth pouting slightly, like a flower inviting to be picked.

“The female lead is online today, yo.” The system droned.

“I know.”

“Gentle reminder, the male lead compatibility test can be done directly by the female lead, and that way it might fulfill the requirements in one go, yo.”

“I know,” Yu Xiaoyu said, logging out of the system interface.

“Six hours to go, yo.”

“Why are you so annoying!” Yu Xiaoyu simply decided to block out the chattering Lord System.

She pulled at the hem of her skirt that was barely covering her hips, before turning towards the president who was waiting outside the door.

The president nodded slightly at her and pulled open the limo door, Yu Xiaoyu turned sideways and entered, the short hem of her skirt rose slightly upwards from the stride of her legs, revealing the tiny lace panties inside.

According to the information in Yu Xiaoyu’s hand, the president would accidentally knock into the female lead on his way to work today and then fall in love with her at first sight.

Yu Xiaoyu, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, felt like she was on pins and needles at this moment. She snuck a peek at the president by her side, and this small movement did not escape the president’s eyes, who said, “What are you looking at?”

“Nothing.”

“You’re obviously peeking at me.”

“Can’t I even look at you?”

“OK, you can look however you want.”

The president grinned at Yu Xiaoyu, and just then, a bicycle suddenly appeared around the corner in front of him and clanged right into the hood of the president’s car.

Yu Xiaoyu’s heart thudded, and she raised her eyes to see that the girl on the bike was none other than the female lead.

The president’s face changed slightly as he unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car, reaching out to help the female lead, who had scraped her knee, and asked if she was all right.

The female lead shook her head as she tried to withstand the pain, and the tears in her eyes rolled down her face as her head shook.

Yu Xiaoyu sat in the car and watched as the president said a few more words to the female lead, who slowly got up from the floor. The president opened the car door for her and told her to take a seat in the back, then returned to the steering wheel snapping on his seat belt with one hand and said to Yu Xiaoyu, “She happens to be a new employee at our company.”

Yu Xiaoyu nodded and glanced at the female lead in the rear-view mirror, whose large, pitiful eyes happened to be looking at her through the rear-view mirror as well. Yu Xiaoyu felt that the female lead’s eyes did not seem to be as ignorant of worldly affairs as her profile suggested.

In her mind, Yu Xiaoyu asked the system, “Is the information on the female lead’s profile complete?”

The system, which had been shut down once, tried to throw a small fit before saying with a huff, “The information was given by the headquarters and should be complete da.”

Yu Xiaoyu nodded and raised her eyes to the female lead again, this time noticing that she was wearing her long hair down. She was playing with it in the direction facing the wind, wearing a smile that suggested she was quite pleased with herself.

An orphan without parents, who had been through five different foster homes one after the other, each time having been kicked out for various reasons. It was almost as if the whole world sought to bully her, so was it possible that this person had no problems of her own?

Yu Xiaoyu thought about it and gave instructions to the system in her mind, saying, “Pull out all the information on the female lead’s past foster families.”

“Du, du, du.”

After waiting for a while, Yu Xiaoyu got all the information about the female lead’s five foster families, which made her even more perplexed.

The husbands and wives of these five families previously all had steady jobs, were well regarded among their neighbours, but every time a family adopted the female lead, there would be a sudden change.

Supposedly, they would begin to mistreat the female lead, scold her, beat her and deprive her of food. All the photos of the female lead being mistreated were quite shocking.

But what caught the female lead’s attention even more is the way each family seemed to end up fragmented after they sent the female lead away. Husbands and wives who clearly loved each other eventually ended up as spiteful couples.

T/N: caught the eye of Yu Xiaoyu

After the last family sent the female lead away, the husband fell to his knees and begged his wife to stay, crying bitterly and begging her for another chance, but still this did not save their marriage. This incident even ended up in the local newspaper, and the picture of the husband on his knees had been printed in a small corner of the society section.

While Yu Xiaoyu was still pondering this new discovery, they had already arrived at Tianle Group and the president got out of the car, thoughtfully opened the door for the female lead and helped her out of the car.

The female lead’s body went limp and she collapsed into the president’s arms right in the middle of the centre of the main foyer, where numerous people were coming and going.

Yu Xiaoyu silently got out of the car, a small suspicion growing in her mind, although she still felt it was unlikely.

She watched with cold eyes as the female lead was limply held up by the president and under the surprised gaze of everyone else, the female lead leaned on his shoulder as she entered the building.

The president’s brow furrowed slightly, and he said, “It’s better to go to the hospital if it’s that serious, I’ll count it as a work injury for you.”

“I’m fine.” The female lead pretended to be strong and stood up, letting out a slight smile towards the president. At this moment, his face froze, as if he had been shot in the heart with an arrow by the goddess of love.

“One hour countdown to male lead compatibility test.”

Yu Xiaoyu did not speak this time.

“Do you choose to have the female lead carry out the test?”

Yu Xiaoyu silently got on the lift to her tiny cubicle, took out a spare shirt and wrap dress from her locker and went to the bathroom to change into them.

She came out of the bathroom just in time to collide with the female lead who was putting on her make-up in the bathroom.

The female lead had her powder in hand, and was earnestly applying it onto her tender skin, her injured leg seemingly fully healed at this point, as she stood steadily on her centimetre-high stiletto heels.

The female lead’s expressionless face immediately blossomed into an innocent smile upon seeing Yu Xiaoyu.

Yu Xiaoyu also gave a slight nod to the female lead, then Yu Xiaoyu heard the system in her head beep, “Male lead compatibility …….”

A tall woman suddenly pushed open the bathroom door and said anxiously to Yu Xiaoyu, “The president is looking for you now, go there immediately.”

“…… begins.”
