2: choose

Shi Xu originally thought that his protection would be enough to keep the Original Body's Owner safe, but unexpectedly, the Original Body's Owner was pushed into a political marriage by her black-hearted father.

After Shi Xu found out, he felt it would be better to keep the Original Body's Owner by his side for protection, so he went to the Su Family to propose marriage.

The Original Body's Owner didn't really care who her marriage partner was; when she learned that Shi Xu was marrying her, she also thought it was just an ordinary marriage.

Shi Xu also didn't tell her about these matters.

Su Mianmian felt that both the Original Body's Owner and Shi Xu had some issues in this relationship.

After the Original Body's Owner found out that Shi Xu had 'cheated,' she chose to pretend not to know for the sake of her reputation, and the reason she gave Shi Xu for divorce was that she was unwilling to accept the marriage.

When Shi Xu learned that the Original Body's Owner wanted to divorce him, he thought she was just having a temporary lapse of judgment, so he simply told her to think about it carefully and chose to give her the cold shoulder on the matter.

Neither of them were good at solving problems. When Su Mianmian read the novel up to this point, she already knew what their eventual outcome would be.

But now that Su Mianmian had arrived here and become the 'Su Mianmian' in the novel, she wouldn't let the events described in the novel happen again.

Su Mianmian shivered involuntarily when she thought of the Original Body's Owner's final fate.

She certainly didn't want to end up like the Original Body's Owner, being thrown out to feed the zombies.

Thinking of this, Su Mianmian suddenly became annoyed.

Could she even go back?

Should she try to commit suicide to see if she could return to her original world?

Su Mianmian looked at the dressing table nearby; there was a small knife that was quite tempting, but she figured that since she was already here, committing suicide would probably be useless, and she might even truly die.

She thought about it and ultimately didn't dare to gamble with her own life.

"Forget it, forget it. Since I'm here, I'll just try to survive!"

"If I can suddenly go back, that would be best. If not, then... then I'll just let fate decide."

After glancing at the small knife on the dressing table one last time, Su Mianmian resolutely averted her gaze.

Once she had made her choice clear, she began to ponder.

Regarding Shi Xu, although she hadn't interacted with him yet, she had read the novel and knew his personality. She knew that as long as she didn't cause trouble, he would always protect her, regardless of whether it was the apocalypse or not.

Su Mianmian felt it was quite a good deal.

The Original Body's Owner's brother really found a very good backer for the Original Body's Owner, but unfortunately, the Original Body's Owner didn't know how to use him.

Thinking of this, Su Mianmian couldn't help but become a little curious about the Original Body's Owner's brother.

That brother only appeared in Shi Xu's memories in the novel, and he wasn't described much, but just the fact that Shi Xu still went to look for him after the apocalypse showed that Shi Xu was truly a very good man.

Although Su Mianmian hadn't experienced the apocalypse, she had read apocalypse novels. She knew that venturing into the apocalypse alone was an extremely difficult task, and at such a time, finding trustworthy people was the urgent matter.

Shi Xu was a very responsible person, and he was also a powerful figure in the apocalypse.

Su Mianmian felt that if she couldn't return to her original world, then she couldn't miss out on Shi Xu.

If she missed him, she, being a person with no power, would surely die in the apocalypse.

She currently had no strength; she still needed to cooperate with Shi Xu.

Once she gained strength in the future, it wouldn't be too late to consider other matters.

For now... she needed to come up with a good way to tell Shi Xu about the apocalypse.

Her knowing alone was too little power; if Shi Xu also knew that the apocalypse was coming, then she and he could discuss it.

She just didn't know if Shi Xu would trust her.

Thinking of this, Su Mianmian suddenly felt a bit troubled.

How exactly could she make Shi Xu believe her?

Would he suspect she had a mental problem after hearing what she had to say?

Su Mianmian stared blankly at the ceiling, her fingers unconsciously curling up, as if she was deep in thought.

What she didn't know was that the woman who had come earlier to ask her what she wanted for breakfast had already spread her 'deeds' from this morning.

"What did you say?"

"Did Su Mianmian really ask that?"

"She seemed fine earlier, but now she seems to be getting crazier and crazier?"

"I think so too. When I heard her ask me who her husband was, I was speechless. If I wasn't afraid of her complaining about me, I wouldn't even bother with her."

The two women whispered, and one of them was the woman who had just spoken to Su Mianmian.

"What are you two talking about?"

"Who allowed you to discuss the master's affairs during working hours?"

"If you do this again, don't blame me for letting you go."

A middle-aged man with a stern appearance walked over. He heard their conversation and immediately reprimanded them.

The two women hadn't expected that even in such a secluded spot, they would attract the Butler. When they heard his voice, their bodies couldn't help but tremble.

"Butler Li, we won't dare again, we'll never dare again."

"Please, don't tell President Shi!"

"Yes, yes, we were wrong, we'll never dare again."

The two women looked at Butler Li with tear-streaked faces, their voices filled with sobs.

Butler Li, of course, knew that what they were saying wasn't entirely truthful, but what Su Mianmian did made it too easy for people to talk.

He had actually already replaced several batches of people, but he still occasionally heard these servants discussing her.

Butler Li expressed that he had been bothered by the constant hiring and firing of people lately.

He didn't want to manage too much now; as long as what they said wasn't too excessive, he would choose to turn a blind eye.

"From now on, no talking about the master's affairs on the master's property. If I catch you again, you can pack your bags and go home."

"Also, don't think that just because you're standing in a hidden spot, I can't see you. There are plenty of surveillance cameras here, don't think I don't know what you're doing here."

Butler Li felt that the two of them were truly foolish, his tone filled with exasperation.

When the two women heard Butler Li say that, they all felt embarrassed.

But as long as they weren't fired, what was a little embarrassment?

After Butler Li warned the two of them, he went to attend to other matters.

Su Mianmian had been causing trouble every day during this period, and he was incredibly busy.

President Shi hadn't returned for a long time.

Thinking of this, Butler Li couldn't help but sigh.

He couldn't understand why they were perfectly fine when they first got married, but then everything suddenly changed.

Suddenly, he thought of someone; it seemed that Su Mianmian had only changed after that person arrived.

Butler Li didn't know whether to tell Shi Xu about this, as it was only his guess, and if he was wrong, wouldn't he be wrongly accusing someone?
