Chapter 1589: Chapter 474: Interlude of the Summoning_2
"We must... stop Xiao Huan..."
"Haha, that’s really interesting..."
On the shoulder, the Little Thumb revealed its shape, hissing in a taunting manner.
But when a few girls’ fierce glances came over, it immediately wilted and silently retreated to An Le’s nape.
"Hmm... I think so too, we must stop the President... but there are some things I still want to make clear before we proceed with our next actions..."
Sakuragi Hitomi was rubbing the coffee cup, lowering her eyes, seemingly contemplating her next words,
"This matter isn’t just about resolving the modifier. You could even say that merely stopping the President’s ceremony is just a temporary solution.
"Firstly, we don’t have the modifier now. We’re just ordinary people, making it difficult to contend with a President possessing all the modifier’s powers...
"Secondly, the President knows better than anyone the dangers of the modifier.
"He knows the modifier could ruin not only himself but possibly this world, yet he insists on using it, proving he won’t accept the choice Alvira offered...
"The strength of the modifier is influenced by the host’s desire. The more we try to prevent it, the more the President’s resistance will further strengthen the modifier, until it’s irreversible.
"Conversely, we understand the President’s emotional bottleneck. If we can solve the President’s problems in place of the modifier, then the modifier’s issue will be naturally resolved..."
Listening to Sakuragi Hitomi’s words, the expressions of the few people changed slightly, clearly realizing the implication of her words,
"You mean..."
Beside them, Meow cast a look of admiration at Sakuragi Hitomi.
At the moment, it simply felt lucky that both helpers it encountered had the strength on par with Daidai.
But upon hearing this, the three women in front had different expressions.
Perhaps, in truth, they had thought about this issue before but intentionally ignored it.
Because of the modifier, because of their feelings for Yan Huan...
They deceived themselves, pretending they could muddle through without confronting this issue.
Until one day, when reality approached, forcing them to make a choice.
"..."
Among them, An Le had long been prepared for this realization.
Due to her family situation, due to her inferiority complex, she had always internally acknowledged that one day Xiao Huan would certainly abandon her.
Maybe because he got bored, maybe because he found a better choice...
In any case, she knew she wouldn’t be the one he married.
Vice President Sakuragi should be the most suitable, right?
With an affluent family background and a good character...
If Vice President Sakuragi eventually ended up with Xiao Huan, An Le would sincerely give her blessings.
But recent events had made An Le increasingly disagree with this outcome...
If Xiao Huan was destined to abandon her, why would he take the risk to use the modifier?
If Xiao Huan was destined to abandon her, why would he sully himself in front of his parents just to make them realize how they had been ignoring her?
If Xiao Huan was destined to abandon her, why would he thoughtfully dispel her confusion about her future career with encouragement?
So, at this moment, An Le preferred to believe that maybe Xiao Huan really wouldn’t abandon her.
Vice President Sakuragi had already taken a stand, so she too...
"I... can accept being together with everyone..."
Thus, the moment Sakuragi Hitomi finished speaking, An Le pursed her lips and raised her hand.
Next to her, the others were stunned by An Le’s straightforwardness.
Although Sakuragi Hitomi’s words subtly implied this, she still conveyed it more tactfully.
Bai Yi widened her eyes, swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
She looked at Sakuragi Hitomi, then at the silent Tong Yingying, and hesitated as she clenched her fists.
"..."
Bai Yi’s thoughts were quite conflicted.
On one hand, she had fantasies, refusing to admit the idea of sharing Yan Huan with others.
She naturally dreamed of having Yan Huan all to herself, imagining winning gloriously, stepping over Ye Shiyu, punching Sakuragi Hitomi, and reaching the pinnacle of life.
But on the other hand, she was actually very soft-hearted.
Just like the time she went on a date with Sakuragi Hitomi, she was very resistant to sharing a room with her when the plan was exposed.
When Yan Huan suggested taking them to a hotel together, her little mouth kept mumbling, and she’d pinch Yan Huan’s waist and bump her head against his back.
But when Yan Huan whispered softly a few words in her ear...
Well, the first thing she did upon waking was only to taunt Sakuragi Hitomi as being weak.
But with Yan Huan not present now, she naturally had to act a bit tougher.
"But, but, but... even if we agree, how do we explain this to our families? You... you’d be the same too, Sakuragi Hitomi, your parents definitely wouldn’t agree, right?"
This seemed more like an excuse, looking for some resistance, subtly expressing her dissent.
It’s a fitting "cowardly non-confrontational protest" typical of Bai Yi’s character.
But on second thought...
Even if her mom opposed, she wouldn’t listen to her anyway.
No matter what, as long as Zuo Jiangqin opposes something, she would do it, absolutely without fail.
So, her argument was slightly lacking in persuasion.
But when she thought of something, Bai Yi quickly added,
"And besides, Yan Huan would never give up Aria, right? What about her mother?
"If she finds out what we’re planning and puts pressure on our families, what should we do?
"Like... hmm, ruin my job, have your parents laid off... even threatening our parents’ personal safety?!"
Beside them, Tong Yingying glanced at Bai Yi and immediately replied,
