The Awakened Cannon Fodder Beauty [Quick Transmigration] 58p1

Chapter 58p1: The Vicious Supporting Female Character in a Romance Novel (11)

◎Jiang Mengyu doesn’t like her in this life◎

The shock in Wen Lingyi’s eyes was so obvious.

Gu Lanqiu: “…Let’s go in first.”

She knew what Wen Lingyi wanted to ask, but in front of Jiang Mengyu, it was not convenient for Gu Lanqiu to answer.

The three of them walked in together. The decoration of this private restaurant was quite artistic, with a small bridge and flowing water, and a lingering mist, giving off a faint sense of tranquility and quietness.

The waiter led them to a private room near the courtyard. Gu Lanqiu turned to look at Jiang Mengyu. “You go in first.”

Jiang Mengyu lowered her eyes and nodded. “Okay.”

She was very obedient and did not raise any questions about Gu Lanqiu’s decision.

Wen Lingyi’s eyes widened as she watched the interaction between the two. Only after Jiang Mengyu had gone in did she pull Gu Lanqiu a few steps toward the wooden bridge in the middle of the courtyard.

“No way, CEO Gu, you really…”

She gestured in the direction of Jiang Mengyu.

“It’s not what you think,” Gu Lanqiu said in a low voice.

Wen Lingyi: “The girl you told me about last time, is it her?”

She could always see the key point at a glance.

“Mmm,” Gu Lanqiu did not deny it.

Wen Lingyi was dumbfounded. “Then how is it not what I think??”

The night wind blew Gu Lanqiu’s long hair. She was silent, her mature and moving face without a trace of shame.

Wen Lingyi looked at the friend in front of her, her gaze sweeping back and forth across her face.

“Do you know who she is?”

Was Gu Lanqiu crazy?

How could she get together with her own nephew’s ex-girlfriend?

Wen Lingyi didn’t even dare to think about what a stir it would cause if this matter were to get out.

Gu Lanqiu’s reputation would definitely be affected.

Gu Lanqiu averted her eyes. “I know.”

Wen Lingyi frowned. “Then you still…”

Gu Lanqiu: “She has no relationship with Zeyan now. They have already broken up.”

Wen Lingyi took a deep breath. “When the outside world talks about this matter, they won’t think that they have no relationship just because she and Xu Zeyan have broken up.”

It was impossible for Gu Lanqiu not to know this. Did she really not care about her own reputation?

Wen Lingyi remembered that the last time she had met with Gu Lanqiu, Gu Lanqiu had sworn that she did not like Jiang Mengyu.

How long had it been?

Her subconscious refutation just now did not look like she didn’t care about Jiang Mengyu.

Wen Lingyi hadn’t expected that the woman who had changed Gu Lanqiu’s sexual orientation was actually Jiang Mengyu. If she had known about this matter earlier, she would never have advised Gu Lanqiu to follow her heart last time.

Seeing that Gu Lanqiu was not speaking, Wen Lingyi couldn’t help but shake her head. “Lanqiu, you’ve really fallen for it.”

Gu Lanqiu: “…No.”

Wen Lingyi looked at her straight. “Do you believe what you’re saying?”

Gu Lanqiu let out a light breath. “Didn’t I tell you last time?”

She could only get a good night’s sleep when she smelled the scent on Jiang Mengyu’s body.

Wen Lingyi: “So?”

“Are you planning to sleep with her for the rest of your life?”

Seeing that Gu Lanqiu had become silent because of her words, Wen Lingyi still did not stop. “What if she falls in love with someone else in the future?”

“Are you still planning to sleep in the middle of a married couple?”

Gu Lanqiu subconsciously retorted, “She won’t.”

Wen Lingyi sneered. “How are you so sure she won’t?”

“People change, Lanqiu.”

“Just like you. If I had told you before that you would fall in love with Xu Zeyan’s ex-girlfriend, would you have believed me?”

Gu Lanqiu wanted to say that she did not like Jiang Mengyu, but the words were stuck in her throat and she could not say them for a long time.

Wen Lingyi’s words had given her a wake-up call. Gu Lanqiu had always thought that it was only for a month. She could play with Jiang Mengyu for a while. After Markel came to China, she would have him try to hypnotize Jiang Mengyu and forget about her previous life.

At that time, Gu Lanqiu had not thought that the scent on Jiang Mengyu’s body could cure her insomnia.

If she still insisted on her plan now, would Jiang Mengyu, after losing her memory, still be willing to sleep with her?

Gu Lanqiu almost didn’t need to think. The answer had already appeared in her mind.

She wouldn’t.

Gu Lanqiu had seen Jiang Mengyu’s attitude toward others. It was absolutely impossible for her to get close to someone she didn’t like.

Her fingers unconsciously tightened in her palm. Listening to Wen Lingyi’s rambling words, Gu Lanqiu’s thoughts were in a mess.

Jiang Mengyu took two sips of the teacup. She stood by the window. Through the wooden lattice window, she could vaguely see the figures of Gu Lanqiu and Wen Lingyi.

Wen Lingyi seemed to be saying something to Gu Lanqiu, but Gu Lanqiu was silent and did not say a word.

The shadows of the trees in the courtyard swayed with the wind, casting a mottled light and shadow on Gu Lanqiu’s body. Jiang Mengyu could not hear what Gu Lanqiu was saying, but she could feel the struggle and dullness on her body.

She finally gave Gu Lanqiu a look, then turned and sat back at the table.

Gu Lanqiu seemed to have sensed something, but when she turned to look at the window, it was already empty.

“I’m talking to you. What are you looking at?” Wen Lingyi was a little dissatisfied.

She followed Gu Lanqiu’s gaze but saw nothing.

“I know,” Gu Lanqiu interrupted her. “Let’s go in first.”

Gu Lanqiu clearly did not want to say more.

Wen Lingyi knew her very well. She knew that Gu Lanqiu was not the kind of person who liked to be forced. Her reminder could only be a hint. If she said any more, Gu Lanqiu would be annoyed.

“Alright.”

Wen Lingyi believed that Gu Lanqiu knew her limits. The things she had said just now, Gu Lanqiu had probably already thought about them. But she still decided to do so…

Wen Lingyi was suddenly a little curious. What charm did Jiang Mengyu have that could make Gu Lanqiu so reckless?

Wen Lingyi had originally had an appointment, but she had stood someone up at the last minute and had squeezed into the private space of Jiang Mengyu and Gu Lanqiu.

Gu Lanqiu did not speak, so Jiang Mengyu would not refuse.

Her attitude toward Wen Lingyi was polite but distant. Besides greeting her at the beginning and giving her a couple more looks, Jiang Mengyu’s gaze had been on Gu Lanqiu all along and had almost never moved away.

This meal was eaten in silence.

Wen Lingyi did not speak much throughout the whole process, only observing the two of them with her eyes.

Jiang Mengyu did not talk much either, but her thoughts were very delicate. She could always notice Gu Lanqiu’s needs at the first moment. Sometimes, before Gu Lanqiu had even reacted, Jiang Mengyu’s hand had already reached over.

Wen Lingyi was secretly dumbfounded. No wonder Gu Lanqiu liked Jiang Mengyu. This was too considerate.

After eating, Gu Lanqiu planned to take Jiang Mengyu back to North Garden.

Before they parted, Wen Lingyi patted Gu Lanqiu’s shoulder. “You… sigh.”

She had already said what she needed to say just now. Wen Lingyi only hoped that Gu Lanqiu would be well.

But thinking of Jiang Mengyu’s care for Gu Lanqiu, and Gu Lanqiu’s refusal to even admit her own feelings, Wen Lingyi always felt that the development of their relationship would not be very smooth.

I hope it’s just her illusion.

…

On the way back in the car, Gu Lanqiu closed her eyes and feigned sleep.

Jiang Mengyu stared at her side profile and asked, “Lanqiu, does Miss Wen not like me?”

Gu Lanqiu opened her eyes. “No.”

She paused, then continued, “What does it matter if she likes you or not?”

Jiang Mengyu and Wen Lingyi did not have many opportunities to meet. Even if Wen Lingyi did not like her, it would not affect her.

Jiang Mengyu pursed her lips. “But she is your friend.”

[What if Wen Lingyi speaks ill of me in front of Lanqiu?]

[Will Lanqiu distance herself from me because of this?]

Gu Lanqiu was suddenly reminded of what Wen Lingyi had said just now, and her certain “you’ve really fallen for it.” She couldn’t help but be in a daze.

Did she really like Jiang Mengyu?

At this thought, Gu Lanqiu knitted her brows and quietly looked at Jiang Mengyu for a few seconds. She suddenly raised her hand, her fingertips getting closer and closer to Jiang Mengyu’s cheek.

Jiang Mengyu was motionless, letting Gu Lanqiu approach her.

The light in the back seat was not bright. Jiang Mengyu’s face was half-hidden in the dimness, and the emotion in her eyes was not very clear. But Gu Lanqiu could feel that her gaze was stuck on her own face without blinking.

A cool fingertip landed on Jiang Mengyu’s features. Gu Lanqiu brushed away a strand of hair from her cheek, her fingers sliding down the side of her face, stirring up a dense itch.

Her heart was calm and peaceful, without any feeling of discomfort.

She was indeed more accepting of Jiang Mengyu than she had thought.

Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, her fingers were suddenly grabbed. Gu Lanqiu looked up and met Jiang Mengyu’s deep, dark eyes. She said faintly, “What’s wrong?”

Jiang Mengyu stared at Gu Lanqiu. “What does this mean?”

Gu Lanqiu rarely took the initiative to get close to Jiang Mengyu. Most of the time, it was Jiang Mengyu who constantly approached her, while she neither rejected nor accepted.

“Nothing,” Gu Lanqiu said. “Your hair is messy.”

With Gu Lanqiu’s personality, she would not care at all if Jiang Mengyu’s hair was messy or not.

This was just an excuse she had found.

Jiang Mengyu slowly lowered her head, her thin lips getting closer and closer to Gu Lanqiu’s knuckles. Her movements were very slow, giving Gu Lanqiu plenty of opportunity to withdraw her hand.

Gu Lanqiu guessed what she wanted to do. Her fingertips flinched, as if wanting to refuse. But until the very end, when the soft kiss lightly landed on her hand, Gu Lanqiu did not withdraw her hand.

A fleeting touch.

The warm touch approached and then moved away, so fast it was as if it were Gu Lanqiu’s illusion.

Gu Lanqiu quietly looked at Jiang Mengyu.

Jiang Mengyu tilted her head and pressed her cheek against Gu Lanqiu’s hand. “Lanqiu.”

Her voice was soft and long, with an unspeakable fiery affection. “I like you so much.”

Gu Lanqiu was quiet for a long time before she answered in a low voice:

“Mmm.”
