When My Billionaire Husband Became Sick

Li Xingyi was a billionaire CEO with a special gene inside him, one that gave him a body that never fell ill, but would only last him fifty years. Upon his death, half of his inheritance would go to his wife. One day, the man who never had any health issues suddenly started coughing. The nanny rushed to Jiang Yule's side and said anxiously, "Madam, you need to go to the hospital quickly! There's something wrong with Sir!" Jiang Yule could not believe her ears. She looked up and said incredulously, "Are you saying that my husband, who's worth hundreds of millions of dollars, with countless assets under his name, and an iron-clad body that would put mountains to shame... The same man that will allow me to replace him as the number one richest on Forbes Rich list when he dies... is coughing?" Although it was only a slight cough, Li Xingyi watched as his wife, who loved him regardless of his wealth, rushed to the hospital in freezing winds and held onto him tightly as she cried her eyes out. "Why did you suddenly start coughing, my darling? How can I live without you?!" Jiang Yule cried bitterly. Li Xingyi watched this predictable scene with an indifferent look and felt nothing but annoyance. Just as he was about to drive her away like he usually did, he heard a voice inside his head. [Nicely done! Is he coughing? It's time for me to win the lottery, baby! Is this what they call karma? Thank heavens, and Amen to that! How can I live without you? Obviously, I'll inherit your wealth, and then I'll throw a party and dance on your grave!] The voice in his head sounded exactly like his wife's soft and desperate voice, who was still crying before him. He fell silent after hearing it. He was unsure. Should he try listening again?

Hello, I'm The New System

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Such a soft, cute, and feminine voice definitely did not belong to the original system that threatened to strike her with lightning.

The voice in her mind seemed to sigh in relief and continued, 'Hello, I'm your new system.'

'Isn't one enough? Why is there another one?' Jiang Yule thought.

'Don't misunderstand. I won't hurt you like the other one,' The system answered, 'You might not know this, but the world you're in right now is the world from a book called "The CEO's Pampered Little Grandfather". Because of the problem with the world barrier, many transmigrators had their eyes on this world. They want to change the plot of this world and separate the male and female protagonists. What you have to do is to help us stop those with ulterior motives from doing anything that is harmful to the male and female leads. In short, we need you to protect this world.'

Jiang Yule nodded thoughtfully. Then, without any hesitation, she responded, 'Oh, that sounds interesting, but I'm not going to do it.'

The system spoke weakly again, 'If you don't help, you will die. Without my protection, the other system will make sure that when Li Xingyi dies, you will die alongside him.'

It was indeed something that the crazy old system that loved the male protagonist would do. 'Fine, where's the male lead then? I'll force him to get a marriage certificate with the female lead right now.'

The new system did not expect Jiang Yule to accept this so quickly. It could not help but say excitedly, 'Actually, he's already at the door!'

As soon as she finished speaking, a cold and domineering childish voice suddenly came from outside the door. "What right do you have to say that Ultraman doesn't exist in this world? You don't know anything!"

Jiang Yule was shocked by the childish scream. In the next second, her exhausted body suddenly regained strength. Before she could figure out the reason, she saw Aunt Wang walk over with a troubled expression. "Madam."

Before Jiang Yule could ask her what was wrong, she saw a little boy running out from behind her. The little boy was as fair as a dove, with black eyes on his fair and clean face. His hair was a little blonde, and he was wearing a suit. He looked a little like Li Xingyi.

He stared at Jiang Yule for a long time before he pursed his lips. "Why did Uncle marry such a weak woman?" The little boy's tone was filled with disdain.

Aunt Wang quickly stopped him. "Young Master, you can't say that. Even if the madam can't bear the burden, she's still the rightful mistress of this house."

The little boy snorted coldly, "Even if she's the mistress, it doesn't matter? Uncle doesn't like her at all."

Jiang Yule looked at the little boy who could not even reach her waist. Then, she peeked out of the door and asked the system, 'Who is this little girl, and why isn't the male lead here yet?'

The system said lovingly, 'Look down, he is the male lead!'

Jiang Yule looked down and paid attention to the little boy standing in front of her. He looked up and said in a childish voice, "Woman, I'm talking to you! Why aren't you answering me? Are you trying to play hard-to-get with me?"

Jiang Yule's eyebrows twitched. 'This little midget is the male lead…?'

The system replied shyly, 'How is he? You can see how handsome he is even at such a young age, right?'

'He's quite handsome. He has the kind of handsomeness that hasn't been through nine years of compulsory education yet.'

The system was speechless.

Jiang Yule, who had suddenly found the male lead, retracted her gaze and turned to walk upstairs. "Aunt Wang, I'm going to sleep."

The little boy's face was filled with shock and disbelief. "She… Was she looking down on me, the young master?!" The little boy looked up at Aunt Wang with teary eyes. Could this be like those stories in TV dramas where a down-and-out young master lived under someone else's roof, and his cruel stepmother beat and scolded him?

'Ultraman Tiga, my eternal god, where are you?!'

Jiang Yule had no idea what the little boy was thinking after she left. She closed the door and lay on the sofa lazily. Li Xingyi did indeed have a nominal son, who was the child of his biological brother. The child lost his father when he was born, so Li Xingyi adopted him under his name and became his legal guardian. However, in reality, they were uncle and nephew. The child had been living in a villa in the suburbs and had been taken care of by a dedicated servant. She did not know why Li Xingyi suddenly brought him back here.

'Li Sui'an is the name of the male protagonist of this book. He was adopted by his uncle when he was young. Li Xingyi was able to satisfy all of his material needs and gave him the best education, food, clothing, and housing. But he forgot that Li Sui'an was just a child who needed the love of an adult. Therefore, he grew up without any love, and he developed a twisted personality and became paranoid,' the system explained.
