Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 298: Ha, She’s Just a Tool

Qin Kaize pulled Su Yijia away, stopping the others from getting too close. Though he didn’t say anything, his attitude of not forgiving and drawing a clear boundary was evident.

"Since you’ve already apologized, there’s nothing more I want to say. But in the future, don’t try to get too close. My wife is simple-minded and doesn’t think as much as you do. She prefers a happy-go-lucky life, so your opinions give her too much pressure. I like her being simple, and I don’t want her to become tense or unhappy because of you," Qin Kaize said bluntly.

The Aunties felt extremely awkward and could only look to Su Yijia for help. But Su Yijia just nodded in agreement with Qin Kaize’s words. Actually, the last time the Aunties said she shouldn’t let Qin Kaize do housework, she had already expressed her resistance to that topic. But this time, when she went to make clothes for them, they brought it up again. Su Yijia knew she could never align her thoughts with theirs.

Maybe if she were softer and spent more time, she and the Aunties could find a comfortable way to get along. But she was only staying for a few months and would spend the next four years in Jingdu City, probably never returning. Putting in so much effort for such interpersonal relationships seemed too troublesome to her. The effort and reward were disproportionate, completely unnecessary. Moreover, this argument could prevent other Aunties in the team from coming to chat about family matters, saving her from refusing them and thereby compressing her time.

"Alright, you all should go back now," Qin Kaize coldly dismissed them. The Aunties wanted to give Su Yijia the things they brought, but she hurriedly pushed them back.

"No, really, I can’t accept these. I’m not here to extort anything from you. An apology is enough." The Aunties tried to insist, but Su Yijia firmly refused to accept anything, leaving the group no choice but to give up.

After leaving the yard, Auntie Wang carefully looked at her man. Seeing his stern, serious face, she couldn’t help but ask, "Didn’t Commander Qin and his wife already forgive us? Why are you still unhappy?"

"Forgive? Sister-in-law is easygoing and doesn’t hold grudges, but Commander Qin clearly doesn’t want you to bother her anymore," Auntie Wang’s husband scolded angrily. After speaking, he pinched his aching temples, "Forget it. Just don’t provoke sister-in-law again. I think you all can never keep your mouths shut."

At home, he always heard his wife gossiping about this and that, treating everything as a story. She never listened when he told her to stop, but now she had finally hit a wall. He hoped they learned their lesson. Auntie Wang didn’t dare argue but felt indignant inside. Easygoing? She had never met anyone harder to get along with than Miss Su. She had heard similar advice before but never felt there was a problem. People only said such things for her good, otherwise, why would they bother? It would be easier to watch the drama.

Never mind, if they couldn’t afford to provoke her, they would avoid her.

At night, after their bath, Qin Kaize took advantage of the excuse to soothe Su Yijia’s emotions, holding her tightly until she was exhausted and fell asleep while being cleaned up. However, with her mind preoccupied, she woke up abruptly at around two in the morning.

She had completed all the daily points before midnight, and now she just needed to do tasks to get another chance at the lottery. Though she could only draw twice with four daily points, she could get more points if she negotiated with 666.

Su Yijia turned over, pressing herself on top of Qin Kaize. Of course, he woke up the moment she moved but kept his eyes closed, waiting to see what she would do.

"Kaize, wake up," Su Yijia whispered, kissing his cool lips lightly. His breathing changed, but he still didn’t open his eyes.

"Kaize~~" she whined softly, nibbling lightly, but received no response. Just as she was considering using her ultimate trick, the man suddenly flipped them over, switching their positions entirely. In the dark, his deep eyes shone brightly, filled with an unhidden desire to possess.

"Want it?" His voice was hoarse, clearly aroused.

"It’s too hot, I’m all sweaty and want to shower. Do you want to join?" Su Yijia swallowed nervously. Though a bit scared of his intense desire, she couldn’t take her eyes off the stunningly handsome Qin Kaize. His disheveled bangs added a wild charm.

Qin Kaize, thinking she was just shy, chuckled lowly. He got out of bed and scooped Su Yijia up into his arms. The bath took a full hour and a half. By the time he brought her back, she was completely limp, hanging like a dead fish.

Su Yijia slept until almost noon the next day. When she woke up, Qin Kaize was already gone. Lazily, she turned over and said, "666, don’t you think giving me only four daily points every day is a bit too stingy? Shouldn’t I get points for, you know, our interaction?"

[But you didn’t meet the depth requirement for interaction,]666 said, feeling wronged.

"Then go talk to Qin Kaize. I did my part, so you must give me my rewards. Or don’t blame me for quitting and not doing any tasks. Do you want to lose the readers’ favor? They hate systems like you the most," Su Yijia retorted, clearly dissatisfied.

[Really?]666 asked, nervous.

Knowing she had the upper hand, Su Yijia smiled brightly. "Of course, I wouldn’t lie to you."

[I need to apply for it. Please wait a moment, Host.]666 hurriedly replied.

"Okay, hurry up then." Su Yijia felt satisfied. 666 was quite fast. Less than thirty seconds later, its voice sounded again.

[It’s been approved. You’ve received twelve daily points, and from now on, this level of interaction will count towards your daily points. Please focus on your tasks and keep up the good work!]

But why twelve points? Su Yijia squinted, thinking carefully. Finally, she realized and was furious. Damn, she did the work, but they counted Qin Kaize’s satisfaction. Ugh! This damn system couldn’t bind Qin Kaize, so it bound her instead!

Su Yijia felt like just a tool. Not wanting to talk to 666, she directly opened the lottery wheel. At midnight, she had earned four daily points, and now with the twelve added, she had a total of sixteen points, just enough for eight consecutive draws to get all the rewards from the wheel.
