C117 Mission Completion Reward Godlevel Beauty!

"Mission completed. Reward: A voice of divine quality!"

The system distributed the reward.

A divine voice?

Lin Dong was quite taken aback.

He hadn't expected the system to grant him a skill.

Simultaneously, Lin Dong felt a tickle in his throat. After drinking a couple of sips of water, the sensation eased.

But then, he noticed something different about his voice.

While coughing, he found he could involuntarily control the muscles around his throat, allowing him to produce any sound he desired with precision.

It was an oddly marvelous sensation!

Elsewhere,

Liu Jianghee noticed the shift in Hee Lulu's tone and immediately wiped his eyes with joy, saying, "Oh, it's nothing, baby. You're not really leaving, are you?"

"Silly, I was only teasing. How could I actually leave you? Come on, sit down. Look, Uncle is watching us!"

Hee Lulu gestured towards Third Uncle as she spoke.

Third Uncle's face turned as dark as charred iron!

His son, whom he took such pride in, a respectable man with a net worth in the millions, had just knelt before Lin Dong, someone who didn't even earn three thousand yuan a month. It was infuriating.

He was itching to lash out.

But seeing how his son was with Hee Lulu, he had no choice but to hold back.

After all, she was the girl his son adored.

And Hee Lulu was indeed impressive, a doctoral student no less. Marrying her would certainly bring a welcome change to the Liu family's gene pool.

Third Uncle's gaze shifted back to Lin Dong.

He planned to wait for Zhang Hongwen and his wife to arrive, then immediately inform them about Zhang Xinrui's eagerness to buy clothes for Lin Dong!

Zhang Hongwen would surely be livid.

The relationship between Lin Dong and Zhang Xinrui would be ruined!

And that would give him a great sense of relief!

The atmosphere once again settled into a peaceful one.

Liu Jianghee resumed his affectionate conversation with Hee Lulu as if the earlier incident with Lin Dong had never happened.

The other relatives wisely kept silent. After all, if Liu Jianghee chose to kneel before Lin Dong, who were they to comment?

Zhang Xinrui's mouth twitched in an effort to suppress her laughter.

She had almost burst out laughing earlier.

When Liu Wenming suddenly knelt down, she was taken aback.

As he presented tea and apologized to Lin Dong on his knees, Zhang Xinrui had to suppress a laugh.

Liu Jianghee, a grown man, was as docile as a child, offering his apologies to Lin Dong.

She would never have believed such a scene if she hadn't witnessed it herself!

Her gaze then shifted to Lin Dong.

He sat quietly in his seat, seemingly deep in thought.

Recalling how Hee Lulu had confronted Liu Jianghee on Lin Dong's behalf, Zhang Xinrui, as an outsider and a woman, sensed that there was something extraordinary about Hee Lulu's relationship with Lin Dong.

Earlier, Hee Lulu had claimed that both she and Lin Dong were just company employees.

That seemed highly unlikely!

There had to be some clandestine secret between them!

With a curious glance, Zhang Xinrui tapped Lin Dong on the shoulder.

Lin Dong snapped out of his reverie.

He turned to Zhang Xinrui and asked, "What's up?"

Zhang Xinrui gestured towards Hee Lulu and inquired, "What's the deal with you two? She's so attentive to you, it's making me a bit jealous!"

"Jealous? Ms. Zhang, cut it out. If you really cared that much, you'd give me a couple of extra points when grading my papers," Lin Dong said with a chuckle.

He deftly steered the conversation away, not wanting Zhang Xinrui to probe any further.

Lin Dong certainly didn't want to slip up and reveal too much!

Zhang Xinrui playfully tapped Lin Dong on the head, retorting, "Give you a big head, indeed! I'll deduct points from your score when we get back!"

"With the few points I have, what will I do if you deduct enough to prevent me from graduating? Am I supposed to repeat the year and stay with you? Will you be providing my meals then?" Lin Dong responded, laughing.

He was aware that Zhang Xinrui was just teasing.

Through their interaction today, he had come to understand that Zhang Xinrui might present a cool exterior, but she was warm-hearted.

Zhang Xinrui snorted, "You'd be lucky to get dog bowl portions from me!"

Lin Dong's face crumpled into a comical expression of dismay.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Xinrui couldn't explain why, but she felt a surge of good cheer and burst into giggles.

Just then, the door to the private room swung open once more.

A middle-aged couple entered from the hallway.
