Chapter 16: Exploiting a Bug

Yu Man looked down and was almost blinded!"Why are there so many gems? Did you go robbing?" Yu Man was shocked looking at the various gems.

"Hmm?" Song Chen’s dark eyes gazed at Yu Man, "You underestimate me too much, my dear wife."

"Do you need to rob for these little things?"

"Ahem." Yu Man thought of Song Chen’s large tech company, "Right..."

Song Chen took out a blue sapphire the size of a fist, "This one has a good color, I can make some jewelry or ornaments for you, dear wife."

"Make?" Yu Man was puzzled.

"Yes, I plan to carve and polish it myself. What kind would you like, dear wife? How about I carve a fish for you? Carve it based on your beast form..."

"Oh, right, there’s also Manman." Song Chen glanced at the little kid Yu Manman, "I’ll also carve a little duck for Manman to play with."

Yu Manman: She understood, she was an afterthought.

The third dad still remembered her, which made her really touched...

As long as the third dad doesn’t hate her!

"Song Chen, when did you learn to carve?"

"I haven’t, I’m just planning to learn."

Song Chen smiled, and the red mole at the corner of his eye seemed even more lively.

"Anyway, since my dear wife is taking Manman to record a show, leaving me at home, doesn’t this give me time to learn?"

Faced with Song Chen’s sarcastic tone, Yu Man couldn’t muster any demeanor of a wife in charge at all.

"It’s my fault, I shouldn’t leave you behind!"

"Exactly, it’s all my dear wife’s fault, so how are you going to compensate me?"

Following Yu Man’s words, Song Chen began to push his boundaries.

His wife going out to record a show couldn’t be changed, so he might as well gain some benefits for himself.

This was his true businessman nature...

"You call the shots tonight, okay?" Yu Man’s earlobes turned slightly red.

"Aren’t there still two more days? Those two days are mine too..."

"I remember my dear wife has a set of sleepwear..." Song Chen leaned close to Yu Man’s ear and started whispering.

Yu Man’s face got redder, and she punched him lightly on the chest!

Yu Manman blinked her eyes.

Did dad and mom forget about her?

She was still here!

She’s just a kid, she shouldn’t be hearing too much, okay?

Yu Manman pretended she didn’t hear anything and started playing with her Lego toys on the blanket.

A smart baby shouldn’t disturb the lovey-dovey parents...

[Ding! Your mother’s third husband, Song Chen, has a gloomy personality and has tolerated your willfulness countless times, not hesitating to expose your true self. Out of loathing for Song Chen, you deliberately leaked his company secrets, causing him to fall into despair, and even attempted to instigate your mother to divorce him...

Song Chen, after learning about it, kidnapped you and nearly choked you to death! Fortunately, your mother arrived in time to save you. However, your mother couldn’t bear to send him to prison and let him go. Since then, Song Chen disappeared, unseen for a long period!]

[Now issuing the Villain Redemption Task: Please find the hidden Song Chen, and prevent him from being harmed!]

[Task Difficulty: Eight Stars!]

[Task Reward: Luck Value +10!]

[Note: Only when your Luck Value surpasses the protagonist can you defy fate!]

Yu Manman turned her head silently.

Come on, system, can’t you look carefully?

There’s such a big person behind her, are you blind?

Isn’t that the third dad? What more do you want!

But, to accumulate much Luck Value is necessary to defy fate...

She doesn’t want anything to happen to dad and mom!

She must complete this task!

What to do?

Yu Manman scratched her head with her little chubby hand.

Maybe she could find a loophole?

"Mommy~ I want to play hide and seek!"

Song Chen looked over coolly, scaring Manman into a shiver.

The third dad seemed to want to hide her away, never to be seen again...

It’s all the system’s fault for not having eyes!

"Alright, how does Manman want to play?" Yu Man, not noticing Song Chen’s obscure gaze, focused on coaxing Manman.

"Dad and mom hide, and I’ll find you!"

Song Chen pouted, muttering softly, "Childish."

Yu Man shot him a look, and Song Chen closed his mouth, "Fine, fine, fine..."

Little brat, no sense of tact.

Manman covered her eyes with both hands, "Dad and mom, you hide quickly!"

Yu Man pushed Song Chen, "Hurry and hide!"

"Oh..." Song Chen grinded his teeth, reluctantly moving his feet.

"Dad and mom, are you well hidden?"

"All set, Manman!"

Upon hearing mom’s voice, Yu Manman uncovered her eyes.

"Dad and mom, here I come~"

Hey, she needs to find the third dad quickly! Complete the task!

Yu Manman walked barefoot on the carpet, circling the living room first, then opening each room one by one.

Upon opening the third room, Yu Manman saw a tiger over a meter tall, baring its teeth, its cold-green eyes staring at her from less than a meter away...

The tiger opened its mouth, about to breathe warmth onto her face.

Little brat, interrupting his time with his wife...

Yu Manman’s heart trembled, and she plopped to the ground, luckily onto the thick carpet, so it didn’t hurt.

"Waah—" Yu Manman was so scared she covered her eyes.

Song Chen’s whiskers trembled, realizing something.

This little brat seems really timid, can’t stand being frightened...

He might have, caused trouble.

The next second, he heard a roar: "Song Chen!"

"I was just... playing with her..."

Song Chen hurriedly changed back from his beast form.

He hadn’t even started scaring her! He’d just yawned from being tired waiting!

"Manman..." Yu Man, heart aching, hugged Manman tightly.

"Mommy, tiger..."

So big! So fierce!

Could eat her in one bite!

"Don’t be afraid, Manman, this is your third dad!"

Yu Man glared at him fiercely, "Manman was scared into the sea the other day, and just got better, now you’re scaring Manman again!"

"I-I didn’t know." Song Chen averted his gaze, "She’s just too timid..."

"Still talking?" Yu Man really wanted to punch him, "You’re responsible for comforting Manman, or don’t even think of sleeping in my room for the next few days!"

Song Chen gritted his teeth; he hates threats, but this was a threat from his wife, different...

"Little brat, don’t cry!"

"You’re still fierce to Manman?" Yu Man looked at him incredulously.

"I’m not!" His face just naturally looks cold!

Song Chen took a deep breath, "Fine, fine, I was wrong, little brat, sorry!"

Yu Manman sneaked a peek at Song Chen, "Third dad..."

"I-I found the third dad..."

The last bit of Yu Manman’s rationality was all used on remembering to complete the task.

Does this count as completing the task, huh?

System?

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the task! Managing to find and bring home the hiding Song Chen was truly not easy! Reward: Luck Value +10!]

Indeed, it wasn’t easy.

To "find" the hidden third dad, she almost got scared into fainting...
