They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 520: You’re not Mischievous Now?

Nnenna chuckled as she carefully folded the papers back into her bag. "Told you it wasn’t a walk in the park."

Which only meant one thing.

He had been smiling happily while creating those questions.
