Awakening the Phoenix Flow System after the breakup, I'm so happy!

"Otherwise, how could you be so amazing, like a god from heaven?"

Su Xiaowan's voice was very soft, with a slight tremor, like a frightened kitten cautiously extending its paws to test the man in front of her, who made her feel both incredibly safe and incredibly unfamiliar.

The atmosphere inside the carriage became somewhat delicate after she asked that question.

Chen Yang's fingers twitched as he gripped the steering wheel. He turned his head to look into Su Xiaowan's eyes, and suddenly felt a playful urge arise.

He deliberately lowered his voice and spoke in a mysterious tone.

Actually, I am not from this world.

"what?"

Su Xiaowan was stunned by his nonsensical remark and stared blankly at him.

"I come from a distant planet. People on our planet are born with great power."

Chen Yang was talking nonsense with a straight face.

"My mission is to infiltrate Earth and protect beautiful and lovely Earth girls like you from being bullied by bad people."

"Pfft..."

Su Xiaowan was stunned for two seconds, then realized she had been tricked and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

That smile seemed to dispel all the gloom and fear that had preceded it.

She raised her little fist and gently punched Chen Yang's arm, her expression a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance.

"Ugh! You're so unserious!"

"I'm being serious!"

Chen Yang saw that she finally smiled, and his mood improved as well.

"I'm being serious."

He pretended to be very innocent.

"Otherwise, how do you explain why I'm so amazing?"

"I……"

Su Xiaowan was taken aback by his question, and actually thought about it along his lines of thought.

That seems to make some sense.

Ordinary people, how could they be that amazing?

They can't even be cut by knives, and one person can take on dozens of people like it's nothing.

Could he really be an alien?

Seeing Su Xiaowan's adorable expression of half-believing, half-doubting and lost in thought, Chen Yang's smile deepened.

He reached out, instinctively wanting to pat her head, but stopped halfway through.

He cleared his throat, withdrew his hand, and gripped the steering wheel again.

"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore."

"I am who I am, Chen Yang, an ordinary president's assistant."

He said it jokingly.

Su Xiaowan rolled her eyes at him, clearly not believing his explanation.

She giggled and stretched out her paw, reaching for Chen Yang's abs.

"Then I'll have to study it carefully."

......

The car drove smoothly back to the villa, the neon lights outside the window flashing by, casting dappled light and shadow on the two people's faces.

Su Xiaowan quieted down. She turned to the side, hugged her knees, and quietly watched the street scene rushing past the window.

For some reason, after tonight's incident, she felt that her relationship with Chen Yang had undergone some inexplicable changes.

In the past, she looked at Chen Yang with a mixture of unease and fondness.

She felt that this man was charming and eloquent, and that he had not only deceived her naive mother, but also wanted to have his cake and eat it too.

But now...

The scenes from the old street kept replaying in her mind.

Chen Yang got out of the car and faced dozens of vicious thugs alone, his composure and calmness were remarkable.

He smiled at himself and said, "Your man is here, no one can touch you," with a mixture of domineering and tenderness.

He also shielded himself behind him, like an invincible war god, keeping all dangers at bay.

That unprecedented sense of security captivated and fascinated her.

So this is what it feels like to be protected.

Su Xiaowan's heart felt as if it had been gently bumped by something, rippling outwards in waves.

Her cheeks flushed quietly in a corner where no one noticed.

Just then, a cold, mechanical voice rang in Chen Yang's mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host has successfully protected his Daoist partner Su Xiaowan, thwarted the enemy's plot, demonstrated formidable strength, deeply moved his partner, and greatly increased her affection for him!]

[Congratulations, host! You have received the following rewards: +2000 Health Points! Two "Ice Skin Jade Bone Pills"!]

[Ice Skin Jade Bone Pill: A system-produced, top-quality product. After consumption, it cleanses the marrow and meridians, eliminates impurities, leaving skin as white as snow, smooth and delicate, significantly improving physical constitution, and making one immune to all diseases. Note: This pill is especially effective for women.]

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow.

Ice-skin and Jade-bone Elixir?

It sounds like a beauty elixir for women.

Is this compensation from the system because Su Xiaowan was frightened tonight?

It's quite humane.

He glanced at Su Xiaowan beside him. The girl was resting her chin on her hand, staring blankly out the window. The profile of her face looked particularly soft under the light.

This elixir is perfect for her.

This was also a way to calm her down.

The car quickly drove into the villa area.

From afar, Chen Yang could see an anxious figure standing at the entrance of the villa.

It's Yang Mi.

She was dressed in her home clothes, with only a thin cardigan over her shoulders, pacing back and forth in the cool night breeze, constantly looking towards the intersection.

Seeing Chen Yang's car lights come on, she felt like she had seen a savior and quickly went to greet him.

Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Yang Mi opened the passenger door.

"Xiao Wan! How are you? Are you hurt?"

She pulled the still somewhat dazed Su Xiaowan out of the car, hugged her tightly, and checked her over from head to toe, as if afraid that she was missing a single hair.

"Mom, I'm fine..."

Su Xiaowan was so tightly hugged by her that she could hardly breathe.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault for not protecting you..."

Yang Mi's voice was choked with sobs, and she tightened her arms around her daughter, her body trembling slightly from lingering fear.

Chen Yang got out of the driver's seat and looked at the touching scene of the mother and daughter, feeling a little emotional.

He walked over to the two of them and patted Yang Mi on the shoulder.

"Mr. Yang, Xiao Wan is fine, she was just a little frightened. Let her go home and rest early."

Yang Mi then released Su Xiaowan. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, raised her head, and looked at Chen Yang with her captivating peach blossom eyes red and filled with gratitude.

"Chen Yang, thank you for today."

"If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would have done..."

"Mr. Yang, you're too kind. It's just my duty."

Chen Yang smiled.

Su Xiaowan broke free from Yang Mi's embrace. She glanced at Chen Yang, then at her mother, her expression somewhat strange.

She noticed it; she saw the look in her mother's eyes.

That look in his eyes didn't seem like he was looking at an ordinary subordinate.

On the contrary, it's more like...

My lover.

She took Yang Mi's hand and said in a coquettish tone, "Mom, I'm hungry and sleepy. Let's go inside quickly."

"Okay, okay, let's go in."

Yang Mi quickly agreed and pulled Su Xiaowan into the house.

After taking a couple of steps, she turned back and said to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, come in quickly, I have something to ask you."

Chen Yang nodded and followed the two into the villa.

As soon as she entered, Yang Mi asked Zhang Ma to cook a bowl of calming sweet soup for Su Xiaowan, and then pushed Su Xiaowan into her bedroom.

"Go take a hot shower, get a good night's sleep, and don't think about anything, okay?"

After settling her daughter in, Yang Mi walked into the living room, her expression instantly turning serious.

She walked up to Chen Yang, her beautiful eyes fixed on him.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Why would Xu Tianjiao's men kidnap Xiao Wan?

Chen Yang briefly recounted what had happened in the office that day to Yang Mi.

Of course, he glossed over the part where he beat up Xu Tianjiao in a very casual way.

Yang Mi's expression grew even more solemn after hearing this.

"So, the Xu family is determined to make trouble for us."

She rubbed her temples, feeling a sudden headache.

Xu Tianze was troublesome enough, but now there's an even crazier Xu Tianjiao.

Seeing her exhausted appearance, Chen Yang comforted her, "We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Don't worry too much, President Yang. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up."

Yang Mi raised her head and looked at Chen Yang... that face full of confidence, and felt inexplicably at ease.

She suddenly remembered something, walked up to Chen Yang, stood on tiptoe, and straightened his slightly disheveled collar.

Her fingertips were icy cold, carrying a faint fragrance, as they brushed against Chen Yang's neck.

"You must be tired tonight, get some rest."

Her voice was very low and incredibly ambiguous.

"I've already had Zhang Ma tidy up the guest room upstairs."

After she finished speaking, she turned to go upstairs.

"Mr. Yang."

Chen Yang suddenly called out to her.

Yang Mi stopped and turned to look at him.

Chen Yang took a small jade bottle out of his pocket and handed it to her.

"This is?"

Yang Mi looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"It's for calming the nerves and nourishing the brain; you seem to be under a lot of stress lately."

Chen Yang made up a reason on the spot.

Actually, this was a "Tranquilizing Pill" that he had just redeemed from the system shop, costing 100 points of Qi and Blood, specifically for relieving mental fatigue.

Yang Mi looked at the jade bottle in his hand and then at his sincere eyes, and felt a warmth in her heart.

This man, though sometimes so domineering it makes you grit your teeth, is more thoughtful than anyone else.

She took the jade bottle and held it in her palm.

"Thanks."

Just then, Su Xiaowan, who had just finished showering and changed into her pajamas, poked her head out from the second-floor stairwell.

She looked down at the two people in the living room downstairs, their posture intimate, and her lips instantly pouted.

A lone man and woman, late at night, delivering something!

Hmph! Adulterers and adulteresses!

She cleared her throat and deliberately shouted loudly, "Mom! My hairdryer is broken, can I borrow yours for a bit?"

Yang Mi and Chen Yang were startled by the sudden sound, and like two students caught having an affair by the head teacher, they instinctively separated by half a meter.

Yang Mi's face flushed red instantly, and she glanced guiltily at her daughter upstairs.

"Okay...okay, I'll get it for you right away!"

She hurriedly answered, glared at Chen Yang, and ran upstairs in her slippers.

Chen Yang touched his nose, watching Yang Mi's retreating figure, and found it somewhat amusing.

It seems this villa is destined to be anything but peaceful tonight.

He was about to go back to his room when he saw Su Xiaowan carrying a bowl of freshly cooked sweet soup coming down from upstairs.

The girl was wearing pink cartoon pajamas, her hair was wet and draped over her shoulders, and she looked more innocent and pure than during the day, with less of her usual mischievousness.

She walked up to Chen Yang and handed him the bowl she was holding.

"Here, this is for you."

Her tone was still as arrogant as ever.

"Aunt Zhang cooked too much. I can't finish it, and it would be a waste to throw it away."

Chen Yang took the bowl; it was still warm to the touch.

Thanks.

He glanced down at the sweet soup in the bowl; it was white fungus and lotus seed soup, with a few red goji berries floating on top.

"Oh, right," Su Xiaowan called out as if she suddenly remembered something, stopping Chen Yang who was about to turn around. She put her hands behind her back, leaned slightly forward, and stared at Chen Yang with bright eyes, lowering her voice to ask in a volume only the two of them could hear.

"My mom...does she know about us?"
