After the Cannon Fodder Awakened, She Married the Female Lead! [Quick Transmigration] 24p1

Chapter 24 p1

Due to her distraction while communicating with the system, Wen Runan’s focus on the game waned. After two consecutive operational errors, the game ended prematurely.

“You were distracted,” Li Mo said, putting down her controller and turning to look at Wen Runan. “What were you thinking about?”

“Ah, I was thinking about Li…” Wen Runan started to say subconsciously, only realizing halfway through. “…it seems like it’s not long until dinner.”

Li Mo’s eyebrows twitched slightly. “Are you hungry?”

“Not really hungry, just a little peckish. I want to eat something,” Wen Runan said, biting the bullet. She couldn’t say she was thinking about Li Beichen.

Li Mo nodded, seemingly believing her excuse. “If there’s anything you want to eat, you can tell me in advance. I’ll have the housekeeper prepare it.”

Wen Runan nodded obediently. Seeing that the level had reset, she focused on playing the game.

As she played, Wen Runan got into it. She found that Li Mo was a very fast learner. In the first hour, she was the one leading her, but in the second hour, she was the one being carried.

“Is this the difference between a genius and an ordinary person?” Wen Runan muttered to herself after seeing the “level cleared” notification on the big screen.

Li Mo was in a good mood. Playing the game had released some of her suppressed emotions. Seeing Wen Runan in a daze, she patted her head. “It’s all because Teacher Wen taught me well.”

“Then you’re also a smart student who has surpassed her teacher!” Wen Runan leaned into Li Mo’s embrace. “Your gaming skills are better than many professional streamers.”

Li Mo just smiled and didn’t reply. Although playing games could be soothing, it wasn’t one of her hobbies. She was just playing with Wen Runan.

Dinner was prepared on-site by the housekeeper, who brought the ingredients. There weren’t many dishes, a total of four dishes and one soup, all of which Wen Runan had ordered in advance.

“Is it my turn to play a game with you now?” Li Mo wrapped her arms around Wen Runan from behind, still carrying a hint of steam from the bathroom.

“But your hair isn’t dry. You’ll catch a cold if you leave it like that. Why don’t I blow-dry it for you first?” Wen Runan was a little nervous. If it was “playing a game,” would something different happen tonight?

“Alright,” Li Mo agreed readily, sitting down with her back to her.

This wasn’t the first time Wen Runan had blow-dried Li Mo’s hair. After turning on the hairdryer and testing the temperature with the back of her hand, her hand passed through Li Mo’s hair. While adjusting the direction, she used her fingertips to separate the strands, her movements very practiced.

Neither of them spoke during this process. Li Mo closed her eyes, seemingly enjoying it.

After about ten minutes, the sound of the hairdryer disappeared, replaced by the sound of clothes falling and intermittent whimpers.

Wen Runan was stimulated and leaned back, her vulnerable throat completely exposed to the air. After being licked, it was left with a scattering of marks.

Perhaps because Wen Runan had been very well-behaved these past two days, Li Mo’s movements were still gentle, and she even allowed her to make her own moves.

Playing all night was out of the question. Whether it was feelings or other things, what was needed was a slow and steady stream. Sustainable development was the most important thing.

Around midnight, the bathroom light was turned on again. The exhausted Wen Runan relaxed in the bathtub, enjoying the full-service cleaning from the person beside her.

“Li Mo—” Wen Runan’s voice was hoarser than ever before.

“I’m here,” Li Mo said, the corners of her mouth curving into a beautiful arc. She was carrying out the cleaning work very seriously, as if she were handling a treasure.

“Did you secretly work out behind my back?” Wen Runan asked weakly, her accusatory words sounding more like she was acting spoiled. “Why is your stamina so good? You can even carry me to the bathroom to bathe!”

“I only worked out for a month when I first woke up,” Li Mo said with a smile, rubbing the other person’s slender waist with her fingertips. “The rest of the time, I just work out occasionally.”

“Don’t…” Wen Runan said subconsciously. “It tickles.”

“A little massage will make you feel much more comfortable tomorrow. Are you sure you don’t want it?” Li Mo increased the force of her hand and soon heard a muffled groan.

“Just a massage. You can’t do anything else,” Wen Runan said, and as soon as she opened her mouth, certain sounds inevitably escaped.

Li Mo’s eyes deepened. She suppressed the rising desire and slowly nodded. “Alright, just a massage.”

After enjoying their pleasure, Li Mo very responsibly cleaned up the scene, dried the water droplets on Wen Runan’s body, and placed her in the clean bed.

After hesitating for a moment between handling documents and sleeping, Li Mo put on her coat, took her laptop to the study, and worked until almost dawn before lying back down in bed.

Sensing a familiar presence in the bed, Wen Runan quickly turned and snuggled up to her, even in her sleep, she skillfully leaned against Li Mo.

Gently stroking the hair of the person beside her, Li Mo’s expression softened, her eyes filled with undisguised love and possessiveness.

If Wen Runan were always this well-behaved, she wouldn’t mind spending a hundred years in this world, delivering all the beauty in the world to her and growing old with her.

“You didn’t go to work?” Wen Runan shamelessly lay on top of Li Mo, using her stomach as a pillow.

“Mm,” Li Mo nodded. Seeing Wen Runan start to poke her abdomen, she reached out and scooped her up. “I’m planning to give you paid leave until the New Year. What do you think?”

“Huh?” Wen Runan was taken aback. “It’s only the beginning of December. If I take leave until the New Year, does that mean I won’t be going to work for more than sixty days?”

Li Mo asked in return, “Paid leave, isn’t that good?”

Wen Runan was a little conflicted. “Paid leave is good, but will it have any bad effects? I feel like I’m getting paid for doing nothing because of my connections.”

Li Mo patiently smoothed back the stray hairs from Wen Runan’s ear, one by one. “It won’t have any effect. Your salary will be deducted from my dividends from now on.”

Wen Runan: “Doesn’t that mean you’re keeping me?”

“You’re not willing?” Li Mo’s hands paused. She lowered her eyes to look at her, her gaze turning dangerous.

Wen Runan blinked. “I can, but you have to promise to take care of me for the rest of my life. Otherwise, if you spoil me and then abandon me, I won’t be able to survive.”

When dealing with someone with a perverted need for control, you have to stroke their fur the right way! Stroking their fur is the right way to go!

“Alright, I promise you,” Li Mo’s gaze returned to its usual gentle state. She leaned in and whispered a promise in Wen Runan’s ear. “I will take care of you for the rest of your life.”

Having successfully escaped a prison sentence, Li Beichen completely held a grudge against Li Mo. He didn’t even bother to act anymore. After finding out that Li Mo hadn’t come to work, he spent a large sum of money to invite many well-known media outlets and exposed the matter between Li Mo and Wen Runan in a live broadcast.

“You can have the company if you want it, but Wen Runan is my girlfriend. She’s already carrying my child. I hope you can return her to me.”

In front of the camera, Li Beichen disguised himself as a devoted person. He could give up anything, he could give everything to Li Mo, as long as she didn’t take her anger out on his girlfriend.

“Nannan hasn’t been to work for several days. None of her friends or family can contact her. I have reason to suspect that Nannan was taken away and imprisoned by Li Mo, just to get back at me!”

“I’m willing to give up all my positions at Jiaheng, as long as you return Nannan to me!”

Li Beichen was determined to drag Li Mo down with him. Anyway, he was already a certified mental patient. At this time, some extreme behavior would only arouse sympathy.

As expected, after adding the label of a devoted lover, Li Beichen’s image underwent a great transformation.

The love story between a CEO and a small employee with no background was something many ordinary people loved to see. Especially when the CEO was willing to give up everything just to be with the small employee, many netizens inexplicably “empathized” with him.

Before the relevant media arrived on the scene, Li Mo, who was at home playing games with Wen Runan, received the news. After discovering that Li Beichen had started a live broadcast, she directly connected it to the big screen to watch.

“???” Wen Runan’s eyes widened when she saw it. “Bullshit! When was I his girlfriend! We were never together! At most, we held hands! Where did the child come from! Did it pop out of a rock!”

“Li Mo, you don’t believe this nonsense, do you?” Wen Runan turned to look at Li Mo, her eyes still filled with shock and anger.

“You held hands?” Li Mo quickly grasped the key point. “When did that happen? Which hand did he hold?”

“…” Wen Runan was at a loss for words. She said in a small voice, “That was a long time ago. After I agreed to be with you, I haven’t had much contact with Li Beichen…”

Li Mo didn’t reply. She still hadn’t forgotten where she had brought Wen Runan home from a few days ago.

“It’s not good to let Li Beichen talk nonsense like this, is it? Should I come forward and clarify?” Wen Runan began to change the subject. She still hadn’t completed the hidden mission she had accepted earlier.

Although it required her to deal with Li Beichen before his blackening value reached one hundred, the system had also reminded her that Li Beichen would most likely try to perish together with her within seven days, so she only had seven days left.

“No need. It’s just the antics of a clown,” Li Mo snorted. “Using this method to gain public support, Li Beichen is really stupid.”

Publicly admitting to liking Wen Runan and being willing to give up everything for her. This behavior seemed to be putting pressure on her, exposing her liking for women while also pinning the blame of a third party on her.

But with a little thought, one would know what the consequences of doing this were. He was pushing away his only trump card, the Liu family, and even slapping them in the face.

Since you, Li Beichen, even have a pregnant girlfriend, why do you still want to marry Liu Lu? Isn’t this just trampling on the Liu family’s face?

“But, the public opinion in the live broadcast comments seems to be leaning towards Li Beichen, and they’re saying that Jiaheng’s stock has been affected…” Wen Runan could probably guess some of the inside story, but the overly complex capital relationships still made her a little dizzy.

“It’s okay. If it falls too much, I’ll just buy some back. It’s a good opportunity to further increase my shareholding ratio,” Li Mo said, stroking Wen Runan’s thick, dark hair and slowly caressing her back. “Don’t overthink it. You just need to stay at home obediently.”

“What about you?” Wen Runan sniffed an opportunity.

“I’m going out for a bit. I’ll be back later,” Li Mo said, holding Wen Runan’s shoulders and burying her head in the crook of her neck. “The housekeeper will come and prepare dinner. Just tell her what you want to eat.”

Wen Runan let out a slightly dissatisfied hum. “You just said you’d stay with me all day.”

“It’s my fault. Will you give me a chance to punish me tonight? How about it?” Li Mo whispered.

The warm breath unique to Li Mo fanned across Wen Runan’s neck, making her subconsciously slow her breathing, afraid of breaking the atmosphere of the moment.

“Don’t go back on your word,” Wen Runan admitted. She was a pervert, and she was tempted.

Li Mo went out on official business this time. Li Beichen’s falling out with the Liu family gave her an excellent opportunity.

They were all mature capitalists. There was no longer any talk of hatred between them, only eternal interests.

As expected, when Father Liu heard that it was Li Mo visiting, he didn’t put on any airs and quickly went out to greet her personally.

“Uncle Liu,” Li Mo said with a smile. Seeing Father Liu come out, she bowed slightly, looking every bit the qualified junior.

“It’s CEO Li. Please, come in,” Li Mo gave Father Liu enough face, and Father Liu naturally had to return the favor, very naturally taking on the role of a guide.

“Beichen is insensible. I’ll apologize on his behalf first. I’m really sorry for what happened to Sister Lulu,” Li Mo said with a sigh. “I hope Uncle Liu can be understanding. After all, my brother has a problem with his head. He’ll probably have to go to a sanatorium for treatment soon.”

A hint of surprise flashed in Father Liu’s eyes. He seemed not to have expected Li Mo’s methods to be so ruthless, to the point of planning to put her own brother under house arrest for the rest of his life.

“That’s really a pity. If nothing had happened to Beichen, our two families could have become even closer,” Father Liu said, adjusting his expression and looking regretful.

“I had discussed with Beichen before about preparing to build a town that integrates culture and entertainment. We had already communicated with the local government several times in the early stages. Now that Beichen has a problem with his head, it seems this project will have to be postponed.”

Li Mo listened patiently. After Father Liu finished speaking, she very naturally picked up the teapot and refilled his cup. “What a coincidence. I happen to have a similar idea. I’m preparing to set up a new subsidiary to be specifically responsible for this.”

Father Liu showed appropriate surprise. “Is that so? What a coincidence!”

The two of them chatted in the tea room for more than an hour. Then, Father Liu played host and invited Li Mo to a private dinner.

The specifics of their conversation will not be detailed. In short, by the time Li Mo got into the car driven by her assistant, the Liu family had made a public statement on social media platforms.

Li Beichen’s condition had worsened. The doctor had determined that he was also suffering from paranoia. The Li and Liu families had dissolved the engagement after consultation.

And a solemn statement was made: Li Beichen and Liu Lu had been in a loving relationship before the onset of his illness. The patient’s memory was confused. Please do not spread misleading information.

This way, not only did the Liu family come forward to confirm that Li Beichen had a mental illness, but they also refuted and clarified his previous words.

A statement from the Liu family was more effective than having Wen Runan come forward to clarify. Because the media dared to dig deep into an ordinary person and twist her words, but they did not dare to directly confront a large corporation. After all, their legal teams were really formidable.

As soon as the statement was released, most of the negative comments on public platforms disappeared. The relevant marketing accounts were also warned not to act recklessly. The public opinion was reversed in almost an hour.

Li Beichen was really about to explode when he found out. He had abandoned the image and self-respect he had cultivated for so long to drag Li Mo down with him, and in the end, all he got was a diagnosis of paranoia?

He was not convinced. He would not accept his fate!

Li Beichen barely suppressed his anger and wanted to spend money to call the media back. This time, he wouldn’t expose private matters. He would lay out the things that couldn’t be said. Since he couldn’t get Jiaheng, then let Jiaheng be destroyed with him.

But just as Li Beichen had chosen the person and was about to transfer the money, he found that he had a limit on his account and could not make large transactions.

“Dad, what’s wrong with my account? Did Li Mo do something?” Li Beichen asked with a frown.

Father Li was silent for a long time before he spoke. “I’m sorry. Your emotions are not stable right now. To prevent you from squandering money recklessly, the bank will temporarily limit your account. The daily withdrawal limit is twenty thousand.”

“Li Mo has no right to do this! My account is my own money!” Li Beichen shouted, the anger in his heart no longer able to be suppressed.

This time, Father Li was silent for even longer, so long that even Li Beichen realized something was wrong.

An absurd guess popped into Li Beichen’s mind. “Dad, who told the bank to limit my account? Was it Li Mo, or… you?”

Father Li sighed heavily. “Beichen, come back first. I’ll explain this to you in person.”

He had no choice. Li Mo had already convinced the Liu family. If he continued to help Li Beichen, Li Mo would no longer acknowledge him as her father. He had no real power. Without Li Mo’s acknowledgment, he would definitely be marginalized.

His son was already almost useless. As his father, he naturally had to make a choice in time and strive to hold on to his outstanding daughter.
