411 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System

## Chapter 411: The Strong Woman An Ning Su Qi watched as her joyous younger wife snuggled into Zijin's embrace, a smile naturally spreading across her lips. After all, what could be more important than a harmonious family? Watching her two soft and gentle wives hugging each other, Su Qi found the scene unexpectedly beautiful. If it weren't for Gu Panpan beside her, she would have wanted to join in! After expressing her heartfelt gratitude to Sister Zijin, Xiao Xiao quickly turned her gaze towards her beloved Sister Su. The thought of spending the entire day with Sister Su tomorrow filled Xiao Xiao with delight. Su Qi looked at Xiao Xiao, who gazed back with sparkling eyes full of surprise and joy. Perhaps because of the previous night's costume, at this moment, Su Qi felt like the little girl had transformed into a little fox, happily wagging its tail. Finding the little girl so adorable, Su Qi instinctively reached out to gently pat her head. And Xiao Xiao, taking the cue, slowly snuggled into Su Qi's fragrant embrace, a sight that left Gu Panpan envious. After all, both Su Qi and Xiao Xiao were people she wanted to hug. Wang Zijin, however, didn’t share Gu Panpan’s thoughts. Since she could hug either of them whenever she wished, she watched Xiao Xiao’s innocent face with a hint of concern. Remembering the enthusiasm of the male students yesterday as they chattered about 'legal lolis' while helping Xiao Xiao choose her major, Wang Zijin couldn't help but feel uneasy. Thinking it over, she instructed, "Old Qi, you better keep an eye on Little Xiao tomorrow, don't let her get bullied!" But as soon as she had spoken, Wang Zijin regretted it upon seeing her spouse nod. Although her spouse seemed more mature than Xiao Xiao, she too could easily attract unwanted attention. Should Xiao Xiao be taken away, her spouse chasing after alone could lead to them both falling into the same trap, doubling the trouble. However, having already spoken, taking it back would be awkward. Wang Zijin decided to remind her sister tomorrow morning when she came to pick them up. Compared to her fragile spouse, her sister was more dependable. Unaware of her wife Zijin’s thoughts, Su Qi was busy advising her younger wife on how to behave upon entering the company, emphasizing not to talk to strangers. This was especially important since the Compass Company was currently divided by internal conflicts, with two directors in a fierce struggle. Su Qi feared that Xiao Xiao, entering the company under Wang Yun’s guidance, might be maliciously targeted by Director Yang's faction. Listening attentively, Xiao Xiao looked particularly worried when Su Qi mentioned Director Yang, described as a 'bad person,’ resulting in her tiny hands balled into fists that resembled little buns. Seeing this, Gu Panpan only wanted to scoop her up and give her a good squeeze. There was little more for Su Qi to caution as she received a call from her busy wife, An Ning. Recently, An Ning had been extraordinarily busy. Over the holiday, she opened six more stores, bringing her total to fifteen. While her first two stores were funded by her parents, every subsequent establishment stemmed from her earnings — cementing her status as a 'strong woman.' Unlike most who specialize in one industry, An Ning's business ventures spanned a wide variety, from cosmetics to clothing to dining. Some might say that a business should specialize, but initially, An Ning only planned to venture into cosmetics. Coming from a family of merchants specializing in clothing, her mother, Qu Xin, seeing her daughter’s passion for business, set up a clothing store, thus sparking An Ning’s drive to continually open new establishments. Unlike her green beginnings, An Ning now navigated store openings with ease. From location selection to customer service, from management roles to compensation structures and promotion prospects. After numerous setbacks and trials, An Ning gradually discovered patterns and tips. Though the rapid expansion of her stores during the holiday had increased her workload, she remained resolute. Today, she intended to personally pick up her spouse after work, but a small incident at one of her stores required her attention. Having resolved the issue, her first act was to call her spouse. Why first? Because there was an event planned in Dorm 507 that night! Initially, An Ning and Wang Zijin intended to hold a welcoming ceremony for Xiao Xiao, the new member of their dorm, yesterday. However, due to their spouse’s exhaustion, it was postponed to today. Upon answering the phone, An Ning quickly heard the sweet and charming voice of her spouse, seemingly in a good mood. "An Ning, I earned some money working, so let me treat you all to dinner!" Hearing her spouse talk about buying dinner with her hard-earned money, An Ning couldn't help but find it amusing. As the owner of the business, she knew exactly how much an assistant’s daily wage was. If they were to feast, it might cost her spouse an entire month’s salary. Yet, An Ning didn’t refuse the offer, appreciating the mutual giving in their relationship. Plus, as a restaurant owner herself, there was no need to worry about money for a meal. With this thought, she replied, "Old Qi, come downstairs. I'll drive you all to dinner." "Okay!" After hanging up, An Ning drove to the dormitory and found everyone waiting by the time she arrived. Soon, all five residents of Dorm 507 were seated comfortably in her Mercedes G-Class, fitting perfectly. An Ning’s driving skills were impressive, and they reached the restaurant swiftly without any traffic delays. Su Qi looked at the sign for the restaurant "Warm Heart Bone Soup" and found it somewhat familiar. Yet, observing the surroundings, she realized it wasn’t the same place she and An Ning had visited before. Noticing her spouse’s curious glances, An Ning chuckled, "Love, this isn’t the place from last time. This one's mine!" Surprised, Su Qi looked at An Ning with disbelief. Although she was aware of An Ning’s aspirations to open more stores, it seemed only three months had passed since their last meal, and her spouse had already launched another business. Furthermore, glancing through the window, she noted that the place was bustling with a dozen waiting customers. Su Qi had always known her spouse was impressive but realized she’d underestimated An Ning’s capabilities once again. Leading her dorm mates into the restaurant, a group of pure and beautiful girls naturally attracted a lot of attention from the waiting customers. Even before they could enter, a server enthusiastically opened the door for them. Greeting them with a smile, she said, "Boss, Room 6 upstairs is ready for you." Hearing the term ‘Boss,’ the patrons widened their eyes in disbelief. Were business owners so young these days? Despite appearing like college students, these girls were running the place!
