The Awakened Cannon Fodder Beauty [Quick Transmigration] 55p1

Chapter 55 p1: The Vicious Supporting Female Character in a Romance Novel (8)

◎”Wife, sleep a little longer.”◎

She hadn’t paid attention before, but at this moment, Gu Lanqiu discovered that her nightgown had unknowingly slipped up a section. When Jiang Mengyu’s hand explored downwards, her palm landed right on Gu Lanqiu’s leg.

Unobstructed.

Her fingertips were too cold, making Gu Lanqiu shiver.

An inexplicable sense of crisis welled up in her heart, and instinct prompted Gu Lanqiu to struggle forcefully. “Jiang Mengyu!”

Her long hair was spread out messily, and a rare hint of confusion appeared in her always calm and composed eyes.

“Lanqiu,” Jiang Mengyu withdrew her hand from Gu Lanqiu’s leg. She caressed Gu Lanqiu’s face again. “I miss you so much.”

“Loose is also looking for you.”

She rambled on, her voice a little slurred. “If only this dream could go on forever.”

Even now, she still thought she was dreaming.

Gu Lanqiu took a deep breath. “Let go.”

Jiang Mengyu did not let go immediately, but moved her cheek closer.

Gu Lanqiu couldn’t see her expression clearly, but she could smell the jasmine scent becoming more obvious. Jiang Mengyu’s breathing fell on her ear, chaotic and rapid.

The darkness made everything become uncontrollable. When her eyes couldn’t see, her other senses became even more acute. Gu Lanqiu didn’t know what Jiang Mengyu was trying to do. She held her breath slightly, her face so grim it was about to drip water.

A very light touch unexpectedly landed on her cheek. Gu Lanqiu was stunned for two seconds before she realized it was Jiang Mengyu’s lips.

“Jiang Mengyu…!”

Before she could finish her sentence, her mouth was covered by a finger. Jiang Mengyu, as if coaxing a child, gently caressed Gu Lanqiu’s face with her thumb. “Go to sleep, Lanqiu.”

She was like she was holding a large toy, hugging Gu Lanqiu tightly, not allowing her to escape.

The sofa was not big. For two people to lie on it, they had to be pressed tightly together to not fall off.

Jiang Mengyu held Gu Lanqiu, her face resting next to her shoulder, her voice low, hoarse, and gentle as she spoke. “Lanqiu, I love you.”

Gu Lanqiu let out a silent, cold laugh. Not only had Jiang Mengyu touched her leg, but she had also kissed her face. In her thirty-something years of life, this was the first time someone had dared to be so frivolous with her.

Anger and disbelief surged in her chest. Gu Lanqiu struggled forcefully, but Jiang Mengyu was holding her too tightly. Gu Lanqiu couldn’t break free at all.

Feeling the breath of another person so close, the hairs on Gu Lanqiu’s body were about to stand on end.

She tried to calm her heartbeat, deciding to throw this person out after she had fallen asleep.

The person in her arms finally quieted down. Jiang Mengyu was not surprised at all.

Gu Lanqiu cared too much about her pride. She couldn’t bring herself to use a more undignified way to push her away, and she was also afraid of provoking her, which would make her do something even more uncontrollable, so she could only temporarily compromise.

Jiang Mengyu tightened her arms around Gu Lanqiu. She closed her eyes, her heart a piece of tranquility, without a single improper sound.

Gu Lanqiu was still waiting for Jiang Mengyu to relax. She was full of discomfort, but in the end, her body betrayed her will and adapted to Jiang Mengyu’s embrace before her consciousness did.

Gu Lanqiu was not used to sharing a bed with someone, but for some reason, she did not dislike Jiang Mengyu’s scent. Her body even felt a long-lost sense of relaxation.

Before Jiang Mengyu had fallen asleep, in the faint scent of jasmine, Gu Lanqiu’s eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

The fatigue and insomnia of the past few days had long exhausted her body. At this moment, as she relaxed, sleepiness immediately swept over her brain.

She wanted to resist this sleepiness, but her consciousness became more and more blurry. In the end, she fell into a deep sleep at some unknown point.

Jiang Mengyu opened her eyes. With the faint moonlight, she saw that the person in her arms was already asleep.

This world was just an ordinary modern world, without the existence of ABO. But Gu Lanqiu could still smell the scent of her pheromones from the previous world.

Once could be said to be a coincidence, but for it to be like this for two consecutive worlds, Jiang Mengyu could not convince herself that this was just a coincidence.

Sister, is it really you?

…

When Gu Lanqiu woke up, the sky was already bright.

Her body was warm, as if she were soaking in warm water. Gu Lanqiu was a little dazed by the light and narrowed her eyes. She moved her arm, but found that there seemed to be something across her waist.

Her consciousness suddenly became clear, and her memories returned. The events of last night instantly flooded Gu Lanqiu’s mind.

Gu Lanqiu immediately sat up. She pushed Jiang Mengyu away with a cold face. Feeling the residual warmth of another person on her body, Gu Lanqiu couldn’t quite believe it. Had she really hugged Jiang Mengyu and squeezed onto a small sofa to sleep for a whole night?

A place where even her legs could not be fully extended, how could it be as comfortable as her specially customized mattress? But when she was in bed, she had tossed and turned and couldn’t sleep. Yet, she had slept the best she had in many days, curled up on the sofa.

The feeling of her body being full of energy was a constant reminder to Gu Lanqiu that she should have been very unaccustomed to it, but last night, she had actually slept more soundly than when she had been alone.

Was it because of the scent on Jiang Mengyu’s body?

Jiang Mengyu was woken up by Gu Lanqiu’s movement. She frowned and opened her eyes, a thick sleepiness still remaining in them. “Lanqiu?”

Gu Lanqiu looked at her with a blank expression. “Get up, get out.”

Kicking someone out after sleeping with them.

Jiang Mengyu propped herself up, her voice still hoarse with sleepiness. “What’s wrong?”

“Don’t make me say it a third time. Get out.”

The sky had already cleared. The warm sunlight shone into the room. The bright light was enough for Jiang Mengyu to see Gu Lanqiu’s expression clearly. The woman’s face was a piece of coldness, as if Jiang Mengyu were something disgusting.

Just a few minutes ago, the two had been intimately hugging each other, sharing their body temperature.

Jiang Mengyu was not wearing shoes and could only step on the ground with her bare feet. But Gu Lanqiu seemed not to have seen, only staring at her eyes with a heavy gaze.

Her rejection was obvious.

Jiang Mengyu lowered her eyes. “Then I’ll go first.”

Gu Lanqiu did not make a sound. Until Jiang Mengyu had walked out of the room and closed the door behind her, she did not say a word.

Jiang Mengyu looked down at her own palm. She had thought that Gu Lanqiu would be so angry that she would give her a couple of slaps.

By the time Jiang Mengyu had changed her clothes and gone downstairs again, Gu Lanqiu was already changing her shoes at the entrance.

She had changed into a new outfit, a white shirt and a dark black fishtail skirt, capable and mature, but the way she looked at people was very cold, with a condescending air.

She looked up and glanced at Jiang Mengyu. Gu Lanqiu withdrew her gaze. She did not look at Jiang Mengyu again, but lowered her head to put on her high heels, then picked up a watch from the cabinet at the entrance and put it on, and was then ready to go out.

In this short gap, Jiang Mengyu had already walked in front of Gu Lanqiu. “Lanqiu.”

Gu Lanqiu looked at her with a cold expression. “Something wrong?”

Jiang Mengyu’s lips moved. “What happened last night, it was my fault.”

Gu Lanqiu sneered. “So you haven’t lost your memory yet.”

Actually, strictly speaking, Jiang Mengyu hadn’t done much. It was just that Gu Lanqiu didn’t like the feeling of being forced. But last night, she had actually fallen asleep, and had slept very soundly.

She had slapped her own face. Gu Lanqiu could only forcefully suppress a bellyful of anger in her heart, with nowhere to vent.

“I can’t always control myself,” Jiang Mengyu lowered her head. “Lanqiu, you can be angry, you can scold me and hit me, just don’t abandon me, okay?”

Gu Lanqiu did indeed plan to be cold to Jiang Mengyu for a period of time. At least for the next few days, she didn’t want to see her again.

“Miss Jiang, I’m tired of your promises.”

Jiang Mengyu’s words were like farts, not a bit of use.

She had promised so well, but in the end, she had forgotten in a flash.

“Let’s just leave it at that. I still have something to do at the company. I’ll go first.”

Gu Lanqiu walked out. The sound of messy footsteps sounded from behind her. It was Jiang Mengyu who had caught up.

Her peripheral vision saw that Jiang Mengyu seemed to have raised her hand, but for some reason, she did not grab Gu Lanqiu in the end, but just stood there silently, watching her departing back.

Gu Lanqiu did not soften her heart. She strode to the car door, bent down, and got in.

Jiang Mengyu covered her lips and coughed twice. She watched Gu Lanqiu leave. Only after she could no longer see the Cayenne’s shadow did she turn and walk back.

That night, Gu Lanqiu indeed did not come again.

Jiang Mengyu sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, slowly drinking the fig and pork rib soup that the maid, Aunt Zhang, had stewed. Her figure was sunk into the single sofa, but her gaze was on the outside of the window, her expression indifferent and calm, it was not known what she was thinking.

Aunt Zhang looked at Jiang Mengyu’s back and thought of what she had vaguely heard in the morning, that Miss Jiang seemed to have had a fight with CEO Gu.

She did not know the relationship between Jiang Mengyu and Gu Lanqiu and had thought that the two were sisters. But looking at CEO Gu’s attitude toward Miss Jiang, it did not seem to be the case.

Alas, the conflicts between employers, she, an outsider, should not meddle so much.

It was just that Miss Jiang looked quite pitiful. She was already sick. If she were to be overly worried, it would not do her body any good.

Aunt Zhang shook her head and sighed silently.

After Jiang Mengyu had finished her soup, she went back to her room.

Actually, the supporting female character did not have few friends. In the past few days, many people had sent her messages, but Jiang Mengyu had not replied to any of them. She had only picked out Mrs. Jiang’s message and replied to it separately.

For Mrs. Jiang to have endured until now was already very difficult.

The original novel said that Mrs. Jiang was best at fanning the flames and causing trouble, but she was quite good to the supporting female character, this biological daughter of hers, and was sincerely considering her.

Even though Jiang Mengyu had disrupted all of their previous plans with one move, Mrs. Jiang had still cooperated with her and had not caused any trouble.

Gu Lanqiu had not told her to keep it a secret. Jiang Mengyu had told Mrs. Jiang that she was staying at North Garden.

[Mrs. Jiang: ?]

The more Mrs. Jiang thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. Even if Gu Lanqiu wanted to thank Mengyu for saving her, there was no need to specially arrange for her to stay at her own villa, right?

The Zhou family would not mistreat Mengyu, and Zhou Xiang had also promised to protect her and not let Xu Zeyan bully her.

Gu Lanqiu’s way of doing things, how was it like those people outside who kept canaries?

Mrs. Jiang suddenly remembered that in the hospital last time, Jiang Mengyu had said “I love her.” She shivered.

[Mrs. Jiang: What is your relationship?]

She had always thought that Jiang Mengyu was joking. How could two women be together?

This was too absurd.

Jiang Mengyu typed slowly: [I’m chasing her, but she hasn’t agreed.]

After this sentence was sent, it was a long time before she received a reply from Mrs. Jiang.

[Mrs. Jiang: ??]

Jiang Mengyu did not explain any further. She stood in front of the window and looked at the night sky. The weather forecast said that it would rain again tonight.

It was just that she didn’t know if there would be thunder.

…

Gu Lanqiu couldn’t sleep.

She was staying at another apartment tonight. Clearly, she had often come here to rest before, but tonight, for some reason, lying in bed, her mind was exceptionally clear.

She picked up the phone on the bedside table and saw that it was already 1:30 in the morning.

Gu Lanqiu rubbed her throbbing head, simply lifted the covers and got out of bed, walking toward the cloakroom while calling her friend, Wen Lingyi.

The call connected quickly.

Wen Lingyi’s voice was sleepy. “CEO Gu, calling me in the middle of the night instead of sleeping. What’s wrong?”

“Come out for a couple of drinks,” Gu Lanqiu was concise.

Wen Lingyi yawned and joked, “What, are you heartbroken?”

Gu Lanqiu paused. Thinking of the kiss that Jiang Mengyu had placed on her cheek, she did not answer for a moment.

Wen Lingyi instantly became energetic. “Really?”

No, wasn’t Gu Lanqiu single since birth?

She hadn’t heard that she had been particularly close to any man recently.

Wen Lingyi did not think in any other direction for a moment.

Gu Lanqiu avoided the question. She gave Wen Lingyi a location and then hung up the phone.

There was gossip to be had. Wen Lingyi was faster than anyone else. Just as Gu Lanqiu had parked her car at the bar entrance, she saw that Wen Lingyi’s car had also arrived.

“Yo, CEO Gu,” Wen Lingyi smiled.

Wen Lingyi often came to this bar and even had a private room that belonged exclusively to her. The two of them went straight to the third floor after entering.
