Quick Transmigration - After Betraying the Male Lead, the Supporting Female Character Gets Locked Up and Cries - Chapter 17

Gu Yanqing’s gaze swept over coldly, his voice slightly stern: “If Big Brother doesn’t want to stay, I don’t mind calling security to ask you to leave.”

Gu Yanbei spread his hands with a playful smile. “Just kidding, little sister and brother wouldn’t mind, right?”

Little sister…

Knowing that Gu Yanqing wouldn’t marry Su Yu, yet still using such a term, it felt like sarcasm, and also like coercion, forcing Su Yu to recognize her own identity.

Su Yu remained silent.

Gu Yanqing glanced over coldly, warningly giving him a look.

“Alright, I won’t say anything more.”

Gu Yanbei shrugged, stopped teasing, and lowered his head to play with his phone.

Su Yu also lowered her head to look at her phone, while Gu Yanqing slowly withdrew his gaze, focusing on the documents, and for a moment, the office quieted down.

Only the system knew what the dog-like couple Gu Yanbei and Su Yu were up to, feeling sorry for the male lead.

— Call me ‘Big Brother Yanbei’ one more time and let’s hear it.

Su Yu lightly bit her lip, raising her eyes to glare at him wordlessly.

—  This is the company.

And Gu Yanqing is still here.

Gu Yanbei scoffed lightly.

— You know this is a company, yet you’re messing around with my brother? Tell me, what have you two done in this office? Have you slept on this couch?

Su Yu’s face reddened slightly, looking embarrassed.

— No! Stop making baseless accusations!

Gu Yanbei chuckled lightly.

— Alright, let’s leave that aside for now. I ask you, when do you plan to break up with my brother? Don’t tell me you’re planning to hold onto my money and string my brother along at the same time. There’s no such thing as getting such a big advantage in this world.

Su Yu lightly bit her lower lip, fingers tapping on the screen, completely unaware of Gu Yanqing’s sidelong glance.

— I will break up with him, can you give me some more time?

“Su Yu.” Gu Yanqing suddenly spoke up.

Su Yu was startled, her hand trembled, and the phone slipped onto her lap.

Her expression was unnatural. “Wh-What’s wrong, A-Yan?”

Gu Yanqing’s face was expressionless, his gaze slightly cold. “Please deliver this document.”

Su Yu hurriedly took it and responded, “O-Okay.”

Walking out the door, Su Yu’s panicked expression faded.

【How was it? Did I make it clear enough this time?】

The system affirmed: 【Very suspicious, especially when you were chatting with him. The male lead glanced at Gu Yanbei first, then at you, his gaze was chilly, clearly suspicious.】

Su Yu: 【That’s good, otherwise I’d really think he’s blind.】

When she returned to the office, Gu Yanbei’s figure was no longer on the couch. Su Yu subconsciously glanced around, suddenly meeting Gu Yanqing’s calm gaze, which sent a shiver down her spine.

Gu Yanqing’s voice was calm. “Who are you looking for, Gu Yanbei? Since when did you two become so familiar?”

He didn’t even call him “big brother” anymore, just directly addressed him by his name, Gu Yanbei.

The man’s indifferent expression was like a flat icy surface, one couldn’t tell whether stepping on it would be like walking on solid ground or stepping into an icy pit.

Su Yu’s eyes evaded, trembling as she explained, “N-No, I was just curious, he was here just now.”

Gu Yanqing remained noncommittal.

“I asked him to leave.” Gu Yanqing said lightly, motioning for Su Yu to come over. “Come here.”

Su Yu walked over nervously, but suddenly lost her footing, falling into the man’s arms, which wrapped around her with strength.

Su Yu gasped softly, but her voice was soon muffled between their lips, surrounded by the aggressive and chilly breath of the man, who asserted his dominance by holding her waist firmly, as if conquering a city.

Soon, Su Yu felt like she couldn’t breathe, her hands balled into fists pressing against his chest weakly.

“L-Let g-go… I can’t… breathe…”

Just when Su Yu thought the male lead had discovered her affair with his brother, and was enraged enough to suffocate her, the man slowly released her.

Gasping for breath, Su Yu lay in the man’s arms.

Then came the man’s deep, indifferent voice from above her head. “Su Yu, are you hiding something from me?”

It was finally happening.

Would Su Yu admit it? Of course not!

Her body stiffened, and she forced a smile. “Why do you suddenly ask? What could I possibly be hiding from you?”

“Okay, I believe you.”

Su Yu was stunned, lifting her head to look at him, confusion evident in her eyes.

Gu Yanqing’s gaze was deep. “Since you said there’s nothing, I believe you.”

Hope you’re not lying to me, otherwise…

Gu Yanqing silently prayed in his heart.

Su Yu: ???

【Really? The male lead isn’t angry about this? He doesn’t suspect anything?】

【I know this one!】 The system, with experience, replied: 【Host, you don’t get it. The male lead only gets jealous of the female lead, other women are not important. Unless he sees you and Gu Yanbei in bed together, feels that his dignity as a man is being challenged, and breaks up with you in anger, then turns to the female lead for comfort.】

Su Yu frowned, pondering. 【Makes sense.】

Her eyes lit up. 【What if I arrange a scene of catching the affair for the male lead? It would be best if the female lead takes him, discovers that I’m a fickle and unfaithful woman after finding out, the male lead gets hurt, the female lead comforts him, and then they directly register their marriage right there!】

The system advised Su Yu cautiously: 【Aren’t you afraid the male lead will kill you on the spot?】

Su Yu rubbed her chin: 【That’s true, I’ll think about it again.】

But…

【By the way, was it the male lead who made me fall just now? I was walking perfectly fine, felt like someone tripped me, and then I fell into his arms. There was no one else in the office except him, it couldn’t possibly be a ghost, right?】Su Yu suddenly changed the subject.

Receiving an affirmative answer from the system, Su Yu was furious.

【This dog, such a schemer!】

The spacious office was silent, Su Yu stiffened in the man’s embrace, not daring to move, like a toy. Upon closer inspection, her face was filled with guilt.

From a distance, however, there was a warm atmosphere.

After who knows how long, Gu Yanqing spoke again: “Su Yu, come with me somewhere tomorrow.”

“W-Where?” Su Yu panicked: 【Could it be that my poor acting has finally been exposed, and the male lead can’t bear it anymore, deciding to take me to some remote place to kill me and dispose of the body?】

The system remained silent: 【… Host, you’re very imaginative, but I suggest you not jump to conclusions.】

“You’ll know when we get there,” Gu Yanqing said.

Tears welled up in Su Yu’s heart, but she remained obedient on the surface. “Oh.”

The next afternoon was agonizing for Su Yu. Anxiously and timidly, she sat in the passenger seat beside Gu Yanqing.

The black Maybach slowly accelerated, the scenery outside gradually receding. Su Yu tightly gripped her phone, ready to call the police immediately if something went wrong, and then…

…the car stopped.

Stopped?!

Su Yu was utterly bewildered. Hadn’t it only been five minutes since the car started?

The towering buildings outside the car window gave way to a luxurious clubhouse located in the same CBD district as the Gu Group.

Entering the splendid lobby, Su Yu clung to Gu Yanqing, avoiding the gazes of at least ten young gentlemen with careless and malicious intentions.

Su Yu was shocked: 【Could it be that the male lead wants to sell me to a place like this?】

The system replied: 【Friendly reminder, the scenario described by the host does not exist and cannot pass review. The male lead is a law-abiding, kind, and upright citizen.】
