The Awakened Cannon Fodder Beauty [Quick Transmigration] 56p1

Chapter 56 p1: The Vicious Supporting Female Character in a Romance Novel (9)

◎”This is your private matter, it has nothing to do with me.”◎

Her ear was ticklish. Gu Lanqiu subconsciously tightened her grip on Jiang Mengyu’s arm. “You…”

She turned her head and saw that Jiang Mengyu’s eyes were still closed. It was clear that her consciousness was not very clear.

The last time Gu Lanqiu had heard Jiang Mengyu call her by this name was in her thoughts.

When she was with her in her previous life, did she also address her like this?

That “wife” was sticky and also had a hint of an ambiguous aura. Her breath was also very close to her, her thin lips soft and warm.

Gu Lanqiu was in a daze for a moment, then she forcefully pushed Jiang Mengyu away. She was not the person in Jiang Mengyu’s mouth, nor would she sleep with her a little longer.

Jiang Mengyu was woken up by her movement. She looked at Gu Lanqiu’s back as she sat on the edge of the bed with sleepy eyes and murmured again, “Wife?”

Gu Lanqiu looked back at her but didn’t speak. She went straight to the bathroom to wash up.

By the time she returned to the room, Jiang Mengyu had already sat up. She was looking down at her hands, her thoughts unknown.

“Are you awake?” Gu Lanqiu asked.

Jiang Mengyu looked up at Gu Lanqiu, her tone hiding a hint of a cautious probing. “Lanqiu, did you sleep well last night?”

Gu Lanqiu curled her lip. “Do your promises have any use at all?”

Jiang Mengyu pursed her lips and said in a low voice, “That’s why I said, you should tie me up.”

Gu Lanqiu narrowed her eyes. “Are you saying this is my fault?”

She casually threw the towel in her hand to the side. “I was just too sleepy, not amnesiac.”

Before she had fallen asleep last night, she clearly remembered that it was Jiang Mengyu who had taken the initiative to hug her. At that time, Jiang Mengyu was not confused.

She had clearly done it on purpose.

Jiang Mengyu closed her mouth and didn’t speak. She lowered her head slightly. Gu Lanqiu couldn’t see the emotion in her eyes, but she could hear her thoughts.

[Lanqiu is right next to me.]

[How can I resist holding her tight?]

Her subsequent thoughts were even more chaotic. Gu Lanqiu rubbed her temples. Seeing as Jiang Mengyu had only hugged her and hadn’t done anything more excessive, Gu Lanqiu decided not to argue with her.

After all, she still wanted to use the scent on Jiang Mengyu’s body to fall asleep.

“Mrs. Jiang said she wanted to come and see you.”

Gu Lanqiu changed the subject. “Your stepsister is really something.”

Inciting Xu Zeyan to cause trouble, and even getting in touch with others. It was said that a few days ago, by chance, she had saved a certain retired big shot from above. Now that the person was grateful to her, Gu Lanqiu really couldn’t touch her for the time being.

This matter had already spread. Gu Lanqiu didn’t hide it from Jiang Mengyu. After she finished speaking, she carefully observed Jiang Mengyu’s reaction, but she saw that Jiang Mengyu’s expression was not surprised, as if she had known all along.

“You knew?” she asked Jiang Mengyu.

Jiang Mengyu shook her head. “Mom didn’t tell me about this.”

Mrs. Jiang knew her own daughter’s personality quite well. She knew that Jiang Mengyu disliked Zhou Xinying very much and was worried that she would cause trouble at this critical juncture, so she had deliberately hidden it from her.

Gu Lanqiu learned the reason from Jiang Mengyu’s thoughts, but her heart was even more strange. Then why wasn’t Jiang Mengyu surprised at all?

Jiang Mengyu got out of bed with her bare feet.

Gu Lanqiu had laid a carpet by the bed, so it wasn’t cold to step on.

She stood in front of Gu Lanqiu and reached out to her neck, tidying her collar for her.

That pair of soft and slender hands fluttered up and down in front of her, nimbly and gently smoothing out her slightly messy clothes. Gu Lanqiu’s breathing tightened for a moment. She stared at Jiang Mengyu’s face in silence.

As Jiang Mengyu was tidying, she said in a low voice, “I’m not clear about Zhou Xinying’s recent situation, but I know her as a person.”

“Lanqiu, I’ve fought with her so many times. I know her luck best.”

“Since she was a child, no matter how badly I bullied her, she could always turn misfortune into fortune in the end.”

Of course Jiang Mengyu knew that this was because Zhou Xinying had the female lead’s halo.

It was just that in front of Gu Lanqiu, she did not say this out loud.

Gu Lanqiu stared at Jiang Mengyu’s slightly lowered eyes. “You also know that you were bullying her.”

But before, every time, she had acted as if she had been bullied, which had made Xu Zeyan feel sorry for her again and again.

Jiang Mengyu’s fingertips brushed against the side of Gu Lanqiu’s neck. Feeling the momentary tension of the person in front of her, she said softly, “Who told her to be so stupid?”

She was so righteously bad, so open and honest.

Gu Lanqiu sneered.

Although she didn’t like people with too many schemes, Jiang Mengyu rarely hid anything in front of her. All her viciousness and unworthiness were clearly exposed in front of her.

As long as Jiang Mengyu didn’t use these tricks on her, Gu Lanqiu could pretend not to know.

However, Jiang Mengyu’s words had still left a mark in her heart. Thinking of how she had not been able to hear Zhou Xinying’s thoughts last time, a look of deep thought appeared in Gu Lanqiu’s eyes.

Could this also be related to Zhou Xinying’s special luck?

…

Gu Lanqiu went to work.

There was no one else in the villa, and Jiang Mengyu still had an injury on her body. She had nothing to do and could only sit by the window, reading a book or going to the art studio to pass the time.

This leisurely appearance made even 031 have a bit of a headache.

Could it be that because the previous world was too tiring, the Host planned to take the warm and affectionate route in this world?

If only she could have been so well-behaved and obedient in the previous world.

Jiang Mengyu ignored 031’s urging, but as it was getting dark, she finally took action.

Jiang Mengyu went to the kitchen to cook a pot of stomach-nourishing soup for Gu Lanqiu.

“Is this right?” She held a spoon in her hand and carefully stirred the yam and corn soup in the pot. The bubbling heat rose straight up.

After Jiang Mengyu finished speaking, she did not hear Aunt Zhang’s reply. She turned her head and saw that Gu Lanqiu was standing by the door, quietly looking at her.

“Lanqiu!” A smile appeared on Jiang Mengyu’s face, and the light in her eyes instantly became vivid and bright. “When did you come back? Why didn’t you make a sound?”

“What are you doing?” Gu Lanqiu’s answer was irrelevant.

Gu Lanqiu rarely didn’t work overtime today. Wen Lingyi had asked her out for a drink. She had refused and had gone straight back to North Garden.

After arriving at the villa, Aunt Li said that Jiang Mengyu was in the kitchen. Gu Lanqiu put down her things and walked over. She saw that Jiang Mengyu was cooking soup under Aunt Zhang’s guidance. Her movements were very clumsy, and it was clear that she rarely did such things, but her expression was very serious.

When Gu Lanqiu approached, she happened to hear Jiang Mengyu mutter, “I hope Lanqiu will like it.” She stopped Aunt Zhang from making a sound and stood by the kitchen door, observing silently for a while.

Jiang Mengyu had not discovered her at all.

The woman’s long hair was loosely tied at the back of her head, leaving only a strand hanging by her cheek. She was wearing pajamas and pants inside, and a thin knitted cardigan outside, revealing a section of her long and fair neck. When she looked down at the soup in the pot, the outline of her side profile was quiet and beautiful, which made the gentle and virtuous temperament on her body even more obvious.

Gu Lanqiu watched like this for a long time. She inexplicably did not want to break the peace and tranquility of this moment. The fatigue in her whole body seemed to have completely dissipated in the rich aroma of the kitchen.

[Ding! Mission target Gu Lanqiu’s favorability +2. Current total favorability: 161.]

Jiang Mengyu put down the soup spoon and pretended to have just discovered Gu Lanqiu. She walked toward her. “I’m learning to cook from Aunt Zhang.”

Her expression was a little unnatural. “It was mainly Aunt Zhang who did it. I just helped out.”

“Mmm,” Gu Lanqiu was motionless, letting Jiang Mengyu approach her.

She wanted to see what else Jiang Mengyu would do, but who knew that this person would grab her arm and push her out. “You go to the living room and rest for a while. It’ll be ready soon.”

A hint of surprise flashed across Gu Lanqiu’s face, but she did not insist. She followed Jiang Mengyu’s force and turned to walk a couple of steps toward the living room.

After walking a certain distance, Gu Lanqiu looked back at the kitchen again. Jiang Mengyu was listening to Aunt Zhang with her head down, her expression exceptionally focused.

She withdrew her gaze.

The pot of yam and corn soup that Jiang Mengyu had cooked had ended up in Gu Lanqiu’s stomach.

She looked as if it were her first time cooking. Gu Lanqiu had originally not had much hope, but in the end, the taste was surprisingly not bad.

Her peripheral vision saw that the person opposite her seemed a little nervous. Gu Lanqiu put down her spoon, her tone faint. “Not bad.”

Jiang Mengyu was relieved. “If you like it, I’ll cook it for you often in the future, okay?”

Before Gu Lanqiu could speak, Jiang Mengyu’s thoughts sounded in her ear again.

[Lanqiu also loved this soup in her previous life.]

[Sure enough, her taste has not changed.]

The corners of Gu Lanqiu’s lips were pulled into a straight line, and her expression became even fainter. “No need.”

She was not the same as her in her previous life.
