The Herta: A cuckold's bond? Do I really have to give Romanticus to Chen Li?! (10K, continued)

"How did you know... I mean, how could that be possible?"

Silver Wolf shook her head frantically.

"Oh? If you hadn't been tripping me up, how would you have ended up right in front of me?"

Great Herta leaned forward slightly, studying Silver Wolf's awkward state as if examining a rare specimen. Her eyes glimmered with teasing amusement.

Just like a real-world program, once it was running, you absolutely shouldn't touch it. The moment you did, bugs would
