268 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System
### Chapter 268: The Golden Retriever, Da Huang Ying Lan was quite happy after hanging up the phone, yet when she saw her best friend, she couldn't shake the feeling that Qu Xin seemed even more delighted than she was. Qu Xin handed her phone over. On the screen was a video of a little girl dancing. After watching for three minutes, Ying Lan, surprised, asked Qu Xin, "Are you telling me that the little girl my daughter is bringing over is this one?" Qu Xin nodded. She had heard quite a bit about this little girl, Su Qi, from An Ning. She even knew about Su Qi renting the house from An Ning's sister, Wang Zijin. Therefore, she assumed the little girl Wang Yun was bringing over was very likely Su Qi. Because of this, Qu Xin held some resentment toward her daughter, having told her several times already to bring the sweet little girl to the house so she could take a good look. But her daughter kept stalling, and if it weren't for Ying Lan's call today, she probably still wouldn't see her. Thinking of this, Qu Xin sent a picture message to her daughter An Ning. The picture was simple: a little figure holding a sign that read "Useless." An Ning, upon seeing the message, was baffled. What was going on here? Following her principle of asking when she didn't understand something, An Ning quickly called her mom. As a result, she learned that Su Qi would be visiting her mom's friend's house soon. Surprisingly, it wasn't her friend Wang Zijin bringing her over, but Wang Yun. What's going on here? An Ning wanted to ask more questions, but she heard her mom on the other end say, "That's it for now, I'm going to help out," before hanging up. Hearing the dial tone, An Ning felt there was much to comment on, but she was still some distance from home. She decided to call her friend. When Wang Zijin received An Ning's call, she was just reaching her dormitory and opened the door to find an empty room and a note left by Su Qi. This confirmed An Ning's description. After a moment of silence, Wang Zijin said, "I'll head home soon. Are you coming?" "Yes." At this moment, on a mini Benz, Su Qi felt increasingly anxious listening to Sister Wang Yun's explanation. It turns out this Aunt Qu is An Ning's mother, which meant she would be meeting both of her mothers-in-law at once? As they got closer and closer according to Wang Yun's GPS, the once spacious and comfortable sports car now felt like a pin-strewn seat to Su Qi. Seeing Su Qi's nervous little expression, Wang Yun couldn't help but chuckle; there was a striking resemblance to a young man meeting his girlfriend's parents for the first time. Soon, Wang Yun drove into a villa district. Unlike Su Qi's villas, this district was centrally located in Su City with complete surrounding facilities. The high-end decor gave a different feel from Su Qi's homey tranquility. Only now did Su Qi remember her two wives had grown up as neighbors and best friends, meaning their parents lived here. Seeing the surrounding luxurious homes, Su Qi swallowed nervously, feeling the pressure mount—how much money would it take to live here? After Wang Yun parked the car, a yellow blur darted over. It was a large golden retriever, aptly named Da Huang, Ying Lan's beloved pet. Unlike Qu Xin, who loved cats, Ying Lan was fond of dogs. Da Huang bounded energetically around Wang Yun, wagging its tail excitedly. After playing with the dog for a while, Wang Yun went to open the passenger door for Su Qi. At this moment, Da Huang also noticed Su Qi. The naturally playful and friendly golden retriever jumped into the car and onto Su Qi, wagging its large tail enthusiastically. Despite the surprise, Su Qi wasn't too frightened by the enthusiastic greeting. Seated as she was, Da Huang settled atop her lap, its hot breath tickling her face, causing her to twist and turn to avoid it. This furry giant was simply too exuberant. And it had stepped on her foot too! Thankfully, Su Qi was wearing sneakers today; high heels would have fared worse under Da Huang's weight. "Da Huang, get down." Wang Yun looked at her now dog-hair-filled car with a tinge of resignation at the forthcoming car wash. She struggled to drag Da Huang out of the car. Upon seeing Da Huang exit, Su Qi sighed in relief. The dog's eager demeanor was overwhelming but somehow endearing too. Just then, the system voice spoke: "Host, you possess the 'Charm Aura' which passively increases favorability by 10. Plus, your charm attribute increased by one point today—these effects ignore species boundaries. Additionally, this type of dog is naturally lively, hence the extra enthusiasm. You're lucky and don't even realize it!" Hearing the system’s explanation surprised Su Qi; who would have thought the Charm Aura and charm points were this powerful? Yet the latter part of the system's comments seemed tinged with longing, as if it wanted to play with the dog as well. But without a physical form, how could it play with a dog? Looking at Da Huang now lying beside the car, Su Qi had the distinct feeling that even the system was watching it. She suggested, "How about I play with it for a while?" After three seconds, she heard the system softly agree. Da Huang, having been dragged out by Xiao Yun, had leaned half its body against the car door handle. Watching this, Wang Yun felt both a pang of sympathy for her car's scratched red paint and satisfaction at Su Qi’s play-covered coat. Her clothing, now covered with dog hair, fit her plan perfectly. "Xiao Qi, come out. Da Huang doesn’t bite. See, it's wagging its tail." Wang Yun urged as she watched Su Qi hesitating to descend. Su Qi knew Da Huang was harmless, but its passionate gaze and vigorous tail wagging evoked a sense of foreboding. Though Su Qi actually found such big dogs quite appealing, she hesitated before opening the car door. As soon as she stepped out, Da Huang playfully pounced on her, lounging against the sports car. Even at Su Qi's height, taller than Da Huang when it stood upright, she was safe from face licks, but her hands weren't spared. Feeling the sticky warmth on her palms, Su Qi knew this dog was truly thrilled. She stroked Da Huang's fur, noting the soothing warmth and the smoothness from head to tail. Wang Yun watched the little girl and Da Huang play happily without interruption. Then she retrieved a chicken drumstick from Da Huang's food rack. Seeing the drumstick, Da Huang bolted toward Wang Yun, much to her chagrin as she tossed the chicken leg high into the air. Da Huang leapt and snatched it mid-air. “Impressive!” However, this comment did not come from Su Qi or Wang Yun. As they fed Da Huang, Su Qi's tension eased significantly. At this moment, the inner door of the villa opened, and a young woman who appeared to be about thirty emerged; it was Ying Lan. She first inspected Su Qi, who was now covered in dog hair, then glanced at her own clean daughter, and with a gentle reproach, said to Wang Yun, “Look at little Su Qi, covered in Da Huang’s fur.
