Quick Transmigration - After Betraying the Male Lead, the Supporting Female Character Gets Locked Up and Cries - Chapter 23

Time passed by minute by minute, and the sunset cast its rays through the window.

Su Yu squinted, “Auntie, could you please pull the curtains? It’s too bright.”

The auntie came over, “Sure, right away.”

Casually glancing at the clock on the wall, Su Yu suddenly changed her mind, “Never mind, Auntie, leave it.”

Su Yu didn’t want to wait any longer. Instead of agonizing over how to make an excuse to deceive Gu Yanqing. She decided to take action first and leave before he returned from the company, 

With that in mind, Su Yu turned off the TV and got up, “Auntie, I’m going out, and I won’t be back tonight.”

The auntie was stunned, “Oh? Do you want me to tell Master?”

Su Yu quickly said, “No need, don’t tell him for now.”

Su Yu hurriedly changed into long sleeves to cover the marks on her arms and collarbones. As for the marks on her neck, she decided not to care anymore.

Long sleeves and pants were enough; she wouldn’t be foolish enough to wear a scarf in the middle of summer just to cover up. Besides, it would be obvious.

With the strawberry mark on her neck, Su Yuxiong went out in high spirits.

The auntie hesitated when she saw this.

Young people nowadays are so open-minded. An older person like her really couldn’t understand.

A few minutes later, Su Yu sneakily returned to grab a scarf and put it on.

On the way, Su Yu asked the system, 【Have you applied for the mental distress compensation I asked for earlier?】

The system replied, 【Yes, I did.】

But whether it would be approved was another matter.

Su Yu was satisfied, 【Well done. By the way, remember to send the hotel address to the female lead at the right time.】

The system reassured her, 【Don’t worry, host】

The crucial day to complete the mission had arrived, and all the conditions had been set up for the female lead. Hopefully, she would be proactive and quickly snatch back her beloved Brother Yanqing.

It was still early, and Gu Yanbei wasn’t in the hotel room.

Taking advantage of this time, Su Yu took a shower in advance. Steam filled the air, misting the mirror, but it still couldn’t conceal the marks all over her body.

Looking at the “ravaged” body in the mirror, Su Yu hugged herself tightly in distress

She had really sacrificed too much to earn a few points.

But she mustn’t let herself down.

At nine o’clock in the evening, Gu Yanbei appeared on time.

Seeing Su Yu waiting obediently in the room, Gu Yanbei was in a good mood, and the frustration and resentment he had felt over the past few days dissipated.

“Baby, come here.”

Gu Yanbei closed the door behind him and walked over, casually taking off his coat and throwing it on the ground. His charming eyes were fixed on Su Yu, his voice lazy.

Su Yu obediently stood in place, enveloped in the man’s embrace.

“So well-behaved today?” Gu Yanbei pinched Su Yu’s chin, pretending to look closely, “Why are your eyes swollen?”

Su Yu squirmed uncomfortably.

What’s up with these men? They love pinching chins so much. Next time, she’ll put a fake chin pad and poke them to death.

“Got bitten by mosquitoes.”

After crying all night, why wouldn’t it swell?

Even after wearing eye masks all day, it still hasn’t completely disappeared.

No, I can’t think about it. Su Yu took a deep breath, calming her intense emotions. Otherwise, she was afraid she would lose control and end up k*lling Gu Yanbei, making him atone for his brother’s sins.

“A mosquito bite?” Gu Yanbei chuckled, “Both eyes?”

Su Yu smiled, “Yeah.”

Fortunately, Gu Yanbei didn’t dwell on it.

He walked to the edge of the bed, embraced her, and gently pushed Su Yu down. He knelt halfway on the bed, unbuttoned his shirt, loosened the collar slightly, revealing his sexy collarbone.

His actions flowed effortlessly, revealing his seasoned player nature.

Straight to the point as soon as he came in, no beating around the bush.

Su Yu’s back hit the bed, slightly bouncing back. Her hair scattered on the bed, accentuating her fair and delicate cheeks, and her skin was as white as jade.

【System, when will the male and female leads arrive?】

Should be soon.

The system checked and panicked, 【Host, something’s wrong. Due to traffic, the female lead has just arrived at the male lead’s company. It will take them another half an hour to rush over.】

Half an hour?!

The dried lily buds are all cold! [1]

Su Yu knew the system was unreliable, but she didn’t expect it to be this unreliable.

“Why are you wrapped up so tightly? What’s with you wearing the scarf indoors?” Gu Yanbei finally noticed Su Yu’s strange attire.

Su Yu clutched the scarf around her neck tightly and blinked, “The air conditioning is a bit cold.”

She stopped Gu Yanbei’s reaching hand, her brain working rapidly, her cheeks slightly red, “Wait, you… you go take a shower first.”

Gu Yanbei raised an eyebrow, “You dislike me?”

Su Yu stuttered, her heart urging the system frantically, 【How much longer?】

The system also seemed anxious,【Come on, hurry up! Hold on for ttwenty minutes, Host. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll knock out Gu Yanbei early for you.】

Su Yu gritted her teeth, 【Easy for you to say. After knocking him out for a while, how can we stimulate the male lead? Is the task still completed?】

Gu Yanbei chuckled lightly, “Don’t worry, I’ve already showered before coming here.”

Su Yu’s eyes dodged, her boneless arms against her chest, she said softly, “No, I want to watch you shower.”

Gu Yanbei narrowed his eyes.

Su Yu’s voice softened, “Can I~ Brother Yanbei~”

“I have mysophobia. I won’t feel at ease if I don’t watch you shower. Besides, I’m already here and I can’t run away. The night is long, and this little bit of time won’t make a difference. Brother Yanbei, please agree to this. This is such a small request. A-Yan listens to me every time.”

Upon hearing her comparing himself with Gu Yanqing, Gu Yanbei furrowed his brows slightly, then chuckled.

How could he compete with Gu Yanqing, that block of ice?

He pinched Su Yu’s cheek, “Okay, okay, I’ll go shower. Brother promises you.”

Watching Gu Yanbei enter the bathroom, Su Yu knew she had managed to fool him, and breathed a sigh of relief.

She tugged at the annoying scarf, feeling annoyed.

It’s all Gu Yanqing’s fault. Sbe doesn’t know why he got crazy last night. Otherwise, why would he need to be so worried about catching them in the act? Not being in bed greatly diminished the effect.

The sound of water in the bathroom gradually stopped.

The system exclaimed, 【Host, the male and female leads have arrived downstairs.】

Hearing this, Su Yu’s eyes brightened, and she quickly removed the scarf, discarded the long sleeves, and changed into the lightweight clothes she had prepared earlier.

Her hair fell loosely over her chest, conveniently covering the kiss marks on her neck, but couldn’t hide the marks on her arms, which peeked through the strands of hair, adding to the ambiguity.

After a moment’s thought, Su Yu picked up the coat Gu Yanbei had thrown on the ground and put it on.

The coat was long, almost covering half of her thighs.

At that moment, the bathroom door opened, and Gu Yanbei emerged in a bathrobe, drying his hair.

Su Yu silently counted.

Three, two, one.

“Ding Dong—”

The doorbell rang, and Gu Yanbei paused, frowning as he looked towards the door.

“Who is it?”

No one responded. The only answer was the steady ringing of the doorbell.

With a furrowed brow, Gu Yanbei went to open the door.

Su Yu seized the opportunity to fiddle with her hair, her clothes half undone, the coat loosely draped over her, as if she had hastily climbed out of bed.

After making a messy look, she saw the right opportunity and leaned over.

The door opened slowly.

 Su Yu impatiently walked up behind Gu Yanbei, frowning in displeasure as she asked in a dissatisfied voice, “Brother Yanbei, who is it? Who disturbed us at this late hour?”

Seeing the person outside the door, Su Yu’s voice choked in her throat, her words abruptly stopped, her whole body seemed to freeze, her face pale, her body trembling slightly.

Gu Yanqing’s eyes were deep and intense. His gaze swept past Gu Yanbei and landed on the kiss marks on Su Yu’s neck and arms.

“It seems I’ve come at an inconvenient time and disturbed you.”

[1] “黄花菜都凉了” (huáng huā cài dōu liáng le) – It’s too late. This is the most common interpretation of the idiom. It is used to say that something has missed its opportunity or that it is no longer possible to do something.

Another meaning is don’t bother. It simply suggests that there is no point in doing something, as it will not achieve the desired result.
