Quick Transmigration - After Betraying the Male Lead, the Supporting Female Character Gets Locked Up and Cries - Chapter 16

The phone rang twice again, making Su Yu feel guilty, so she didn’t dare to look.

Gu Yanqing remained calm. “Your phone is ringing. Aren’t you going to check it?”

Su Yu forced a smile. “It’s probably just an advertisement.”

She cautiously avoided Gu Yanqing’s gaze, quickly glanced at her phone, and her eyes lit up when she saw what it was.

—Good girl, take the flowers.

“Exactly, it’s an advertisement.”

Su Yu, who could lie without blinking, looked genuinely sincere.

Gu Yanqing didn’t know whether to believe her or not, but he didn’t press further, concealing his emotions behind his brows and eyes.

Everyone has secrets; it’s normal.

In the past, he wouldn’t have cared about Su Yu or whether she was hiding something from him. But now, he suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable. This feeling was shallow and came quickly and fleetingly.

…

At night.

Su Yu was lying in bed playing a game on her phone when she suddenly learned from the system about Su Jiabao’s appearance after being beaten.

Tsk tsk tsk, it was so miserable.

His eyes were so close to the national treasure, his face was so swollen that he couldn’t open his mouth, it was difficult to eat and talk, he rolled around on the bed and howled, just like in a comedy movie.

Su Yu’s mood instantly improved. She rolled over and hugged the hero who helped her, giving him a kiss. “A-Yan, you’re so kind.”

Gu Yanqing was reading documents when he was suddenly hugged by the neck. The fragrant breath suddenly approached, and the soft touch on his lips made his heart skip a beat.

He glanced sideways. “Why are you saying this all of a sudden?”

Of course, Su Yu couldn’t say it was because he helped her beat Su Jiabao and those eccentric parents.

She hung onto Gu Yanqing, her voice sweet. “Because A-Yan is always so good, no matter when.”

Gu Yanqing was slightly stunned, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

The next second, the lights suddenly dimmed.

Su Yu’s vision went black, and she heard the sound of the documents being thrown aside. Then, the next second, her entire body was pulled over by a strong pair of arms.

“Ah!” She exclaimed in a low voice.

At night, you should do what you’re supposed to do at night.

Damn it! This dog of a man, his mind is full of those things.

Su Yu softly pushed back. “No, I have to work tomorrow.”

Gu Yanqing’s voice was hoarse as he gently coaxed, “Be good, just once.”

I don’t believe you, ghost!

The next day, Su Yu, feeling utterly dejected, was awakened by the alarm clock, asking the system to check how murder is not illegal in this world.

The system was horrified. 【Host, please calm down. If you kill the male protagonist, you will be deducted points. You will also be banned from the Quick Travel Bureau and cannot receive missions. If you cannot receive missions, you will not be able to earn points. If you are unable to earn points, you will be impoverished and unable to eat. 】

Su Yu gave a wry smile, 【Heh, look at your male lead, is he even human? He’s like Zhou Baipi [1] reincarnated!】

Yawning, Su Yu, groggily trailed behind Gu Yanqing on their way to the office. She could faintly feel the piercing gazes of her colleagues stabbing at her like needles.

She could even imagine how they were discussing her behind her back.

“That fox is with CEO Gu again.” “Besides being good-looking, what else does she have going for her?” “What does CEO Gu see in her?” “She has no shame.” and so on.

Su Yu pretended not to hear, and even provocatively wrapped her arms around Gu Yanqing’s.

Gu Yanqing glanced at her but didn’t say anything.

Su Yu raised her eyebrows slightly. In the past, the male lead would have coldly pushed her away and said, “This is a workplace; don’t act like this.”

Then, in the office, he would allow her to flirt without rejection.

He appeared to be a gentleman on the surface but a beast behind closed doors.

Treating others strictly but leniently with oneself, shameless!

Su Yu acted coquettishly and said: “A-Yan, I can’t walk anymore. Will you carry me in?”

Gu Yanqing’s ears turned slightly red, his expression tense, as if weighing whether or not to do so.

After a moment, he finally mentally prepared himself and reached out to her.

Su Yu giggled, “I was just teasing you.”

Gu Yanqing’s movement stopped, and strangely, he didn’t feel relieved. Instead, he felt regretful.

…

Pushing open the office door, both of them stopped in their tracks.

Gu Yanqing raised an eyebrow slightly. “Big brother? Why are you here?”

Su Yu’s expression changed, her face paled slightly.

Gu Yanqing’s elder brother, Gu Yanbei, sat casually on the sofa in the reception area, his long legs crossed, holding a financial newspaper he grabbed from the table.

“What, can’t I come?” His gaze passed over Gu Yanqing and locked with Su Yu’s, seeing her panicked expression, he clicked his tongue.

This expression made it seem like they were having an affair.

He gave away tens of thousands of yuan like a Scattered Wealth Child [2], not even taking a bite of meat or holding hands, and he wouldn’t accept this accusation.

Gu Yanqing frowned, stepping in front of Su Yu. “Big brother, didn’t you never come to the company?”

Blocked from view, Gu Yanbei nonchalantly withdrew his gaze, crossing his arms behind his head and leaning back casually.

“Mom said you’ve been blinded by that fox and dared to hang up her call. If I don’t watch over you at the company, wouldn’t I be raising an unfilial son?”

Gu Yanqing said solemnly, “This matter has nothing to do with you. I’ll handle it with mom. You don’t need to worry about it.”

Gu Yanbei shook his head nonchalantly, “That won’t do. What if I leave and you can’t persuade Mom again? The one who’ll get scolded is me, not you. I’ll be the one at a loss.”

It’s said that when a scholar encounters a soldier, reasoning won’t work. Gu Yanqing faced Gu Yanbei with the same attitude.

In the end, he could only coldly say, “As you wish.”

Su Yu followed closely behind Gu Yanqing, pretending to help him organize the documents, avoiding eye contact, and looking everywhere except at Gu Yanbei.

Gu Yanbei gritted his teeth. This heartless woman, she took the money and didn’t even look at him. Does she think he’s doing charity?

At least a philanthropist would receive thanks. What did he get? He got her avoidance as if he were a scorpion [3].

“Hey, you.”

Gu Yanbei pointed at Su Yu. “Yes, I’m talking about you, little secretary. Don’t you have any sense of observation? The guest is sitting here and doesn’t even know how to pour a glass of water?”

Su Yu’s body trembled as if startled.

Gu Yanqing raised an eyebrow. “Don’t you have hands?”

Gu Yanbei sneered. “What? Worried about your little secretary? Can’t bear to let her go?”

Afraid that he might say something inappropriate, Su Yu pacified Gu Yanqing by patting his hand, appearing resigned. “It’s okay, I’ll go.”

As Su Yu approached, Gu Yanbei deliberately stuck out his foot to trip her, spilling water all over the floor, and he also got to embrace her as he wished.

Fragrant and soft, just one embrace made one’s heart flutter. None of his previous girlfriends made him feel this way.

In simple terms, it’s like comparing a wife to a concubine, a concubine to an affair, an affair to one that can’t be had. The rice in other people’s bowls always tastes better.

Su Yu panicked and whispered, “What are you doing? A-Yan is still here!”

Gu Yanbei smirked and quietly asked in her ear, “When do you plan to break up with my brother? Don’t think my money is easy to get, do you?”

Su Yu bit her lip. “I know. Just give me some time.”

After saying that, she scrambled to get up, quickly hiding behind Gu Yanqing, her heart pounding.

This feeling, it really feels like having an affair.

So thrilling.

System’s commentary:【Host, do you know what you’re like now? You’re like Pan Jinlian having an affair with Ximen Qing in front of Wu Dalang [4], the ultimate scum among scum women.】 

Su Yu frowned. 【What nonsense are you talking about?】

She grinned and said, 【Where can you find a Wu Dalang as handsome as him?】
