Quick Transmigration - After Betraying the Male Lead, the Supporting Female Character Gets Locked Up and Cries - Chapter 26

Facing Shen Qingqing’s dissuasion, Gu Yanqing turned a deaf ear.

“Su Yu, come back with me.”

Su Yu: “???”

Shen Qingqing couldn’t believe it. “Brother Yanqing!”

Gu Yanqing looked coldly: “Your things are still with me, go back and take them.”

Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out he wanted her to take her things back. She thought that there was something wrong with the mission and the male lead was reluctant to let her go.

Although Shen Qingqing was dissatisfied, she didn’t stop him anymore.

She looked up at Gu Yanqing, seeming to see through his cold eyes the unwillingness and sadness hidden deep inside.

Shen Qingqing had never seen Gu Yanqing care so much about a woman.

But Su Yu failed his affection. Why did Su Yu, such a woman, have the right?

What Shen Qingqing didn’t understand even more was why she liked Gu Yanqing so much, but Gu Yanqing never sees her.

In an instant, the grievances that had been accumulated in her heart for a long time turned into impulses and surged into her mind.

Suddenly, Shen Qingqing reached out and grabbed Gu Yanqing’s sleeve. “Brother Yanqing.”

Gu Yanqing lowered his gaze, his expression much softer compared to when he faced Su Yu.

“Qingqing, you should go back first. Thank you for telling me about this, but it’s between Su Yu and me. You shouldn’t be involved.”

Shen Qingqing shook her head stubbornly. “No, Brother Yanqing, I’m not going back.”

Suddenly, Shen Qingqing reached out and hugged Gu Yanqing’s waist tightly, pressing her head against his chest, cold breath enveloping her, and the comforting sound of his heartbeat in her ears.

Then, she tiptoed and tilted her head slightly, wanting to kiss Gu Yanqing.

Gu Yanqing didn’t expect her to suddenly hug him, let alone kiss him. He was stunned for a moment and then immediately pushed her away.

His voice was deep. “Qingqing, do you know what you’re doing?”

“I know!”

Shen Qingqing’s voice was filled with grievances. “I know what I’m doing. I like you! Brother Yanqing. I like you. I’ve liked you for many years, but why? Why don’t you even want to look at me at a time like this? That woman is so bad, she’s turned you and Brother Yanbei around, but you like her. I love you so much, I’ve only loved you from beginning to end, but you can’t see it at all.”

The girl’s aggrieved accusations echoed in the wind, full of tears and complaints.

Gu Yanqing felt a headache. Looking at the emotional girl, he spoke gently, “Qingqing, I just see you as a little sister.”

“But I don’t want to be your little sister!” Shen Qingqing said loudly.

The girl stubbornly raised her head, staring at Gu Yanqing, tears falling like pearls. She bit her lip tightly, refusing to let out a cry.

Su Yu was pretending to be a log on the side, enjoying the spectacle of the emotional turmoil between the male and female leads.

【I’m sure the male lead will feel sorry and wipe the tears for the female lead.】

The system nodded. 【I think so too.】

Sure enough, as Su Yu expected.

After a stalemate for a while, Gu Yanqing softened first, sighed, wiped away the tears from Shen Qingqing’s face, and treated her gently and restrainedly, like a little sister.

“Sorry, Qingqing.”

Shen Qingqing shed more and more tears and couldn’t stop them no matter what.

Her voice was so soft that it seemed like it could be blown away by the wind: “Is it really impossible? Isn’t there even a little bit of like?”

Gu Yanqing said warmly: “It’s the kind of love a brother has for his sister.”

Shen Qingqing couldn’t hold back anymore, tears falling like beads that broke off a string, trying to wipe them away but unable to. In the end, she ran away crying.

“I won’t give up…” The girl’s broken voice dispersed in the wind.

Su Yu, who was eating melon seeds [1], suddenly felt something was wrong.

What was the male lead doing?

Why did he make the female lead run away in anger?

This wasn’t what they agreed upon!

Su Yu suddenly had a bad feeling.

Watching Shen Qingqing’s back, Gu Yanqing didn’t chase after her but made a phone call to the driver to send Shen Qingqing home, then turned around slowly.

Su Yu’s heart trembled: “A-Yan…”

Gu Yanqing glanced coolly at her. “Come back with me.”

Su Yu’s heart pounded. She asked for confirmation, “Just to go back and take my things, right?”

The man’s ink-black eyes swept over her lightly, as if saying, “Or else?”

Su Yu smiled awkwardly, not daring to say that she was afraid of being tricked into m*rdering and dismembering her body.

After all, it’s quite excessive to have an adulterous relationship.

Gu Yanqing didn’t speak all the way, and Su Yu didn’t dare to breathe. She followed him nervously back to the penthouse.

Auntie is not here, she must have left.

“Sit, let’s talk.” Gu Yanqing casually poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Su Yu, then sat down opposite her.

Su Yu held the water glass nervously and took a sip.

“A-Yan, about this matter… I… let’s break up.” Su Yu gritted her teeth and said, “I was wrong in this matter, I admit it. Miss Shen was right. I am a greedy and selfish woman. Since you already know, let’s break up…”

As she spoke, Su Yu suddenly felt something was wrong. Her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and she couldn’t resist the urge to fall asleep.

There was something wrong with the water!

Before passing out, Su Yu’s vision blurred, seeing Gu Yanqing’s calm expression and hearing a faint whisper.

“Break up? It’s not that easy.”

Damn it! TThe boat capsized in the gutter!

Su Yu completely lost consciousness.

…

Waking up again, Su Yu slowly opened her eyes, the room pitch black. With the faint moonlight, she could barely make out the surroundings.

Strange furniture, unfamiliar decorations, Su Yu confirmed that she had never seen this room before.

【Where am I? How did I get here? Where is Gu Yanqing? Did he drug the water he gave me? What does he want to do?】

Su Yu had countless questions.

The system cried out, 【Host, this is bad, it seems like the male lead has turned dark.】

Su Yu asked with a question mark on her face: 【? ? ? 】

The system lamented, 【This is a villa owned by the male lead, very remote, usually no one comes here. He deliberately gave you water with something in it, brought you here, and no matter how I call you on the way, it’s useless. What should we do, host, wuwuwu…】

Su Yu’s heart sank.

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the door.

The doorknob turned, and with a creak, the door opened from the outside.

A man walked in holding a tray, his features hidden in the shadows.

Su Yu hugged the blanket, shrinking into the corner, her voice trembling, “Gu Yanqing, is that you?”

“Snap—”

The light came on, and Su Yu instinctively squinted, raising her hand to shield her eyes from the bright light.

A familiar voice sounded, “Awake?”

The tray was placed on the bedside table, the aroma of food wafting over. She hadn’t eaten for several hours, and suddenly smelled such a fragrant smell. Su Yu salivated and her stomach growled honestly.

Despite this, she forced herself not to think about her empty stomach and pretended to be tough, clutching the blanket.

“Gu Yanqing, where is this place? What do you want?” 

She swallowed saliva. “Did you drug the water you gave me? Are you going to k*ll me? I know I’m wrong, but m*rder is against the law, you can’t do this, I can go to the police station and report you!”

One of Su Yu’s remarks amused Gu Yanqing, and he chuckled lightly.

“Report me? You have to get out first before you say that.”

As Su Yu’s stomach growled again, Gu Yanqing pushed the tray of food forward. “Eat something.”

Su Yu drooled, and then she turned her head very courageously: “I don’t want to eat, please let me go.”

Gu Yanqing glanced at Su Yu lightly: “If you don’t eat, you will be hungry.”

With that, he pretended to take the food away.

After less than two seconds of defiance, Su Yu grabbed his sleeve in despair, “I’ll eat, who said I’m not eating?”

When you should be soft, you should be soft. Su Yu never wronged herself.

She wolfed down the food, as if she was very hungry, stuffing it into her mouth with big mouthfuls.

Only when she was full would she have the strength to escape.

“Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you.” Gu Yanqing said calmly.

Watching the woman’s soft and cowardly appearance, Gu Yanqing couldn’t imagine how she had the courage to have an affair with him and Gu Yanbei behind his back.

Perhaps, as Shen Qingqing said, she was inherently greedy and selfish.

Soon, Su Yu stopped eating.

Touching her round belly, she pushed the tray back. “I’m full.”

Gu Yanqing nodded and said calmly:  “Full? Then it’s my turn to eat.”

His tone was casual. If she hadn’t seen him taking off his clothes, Su Yu would have thought he was talking about an ordinary meal.

Su Yu backed away holding the blanket, her voice stuttering, “What, what are you going to do?”

“After a meal, you shouldn’t engage in strenuous exercise. I… I’m warning you, don’t mess around… Brother Yanqing, don’t do this, I’m scared…”

Su Yu’s warning turned into a coquettish plea, but unfortunately, it was of no use. The man remained unmoved.

Due to the content being unsuitable for minors, the system was once again put into a small black room.

The system cried out, 【Host, hurry up, it’s so dark in the small black room, I’m so scared——】

The next day, Su Yu stared blankly at the ceiling, feeling hopeless.

Why? Can anyone tell her why?

Shouldn’t the male lead be with the female lead at this time, enjoying the sweet comfort from the female lead?

Why entangle with her, the malicious supporting actress?

She betrayed him!

Didn’t he feel disgusted at all?!

“Get up, drink some red date porridge.” Gu Yanqing showed a rare hint of tenderness towards Su Yu, his arm passed through her back, helping her up.

Su Yu was weak: “I don’t have the strength, I don’t want to drink.”

The next moment, warm porridge touched her lips. Before Su Yu could react, her mouth opened, allowing the man to feed her.

Seemingly finding it amusing, Gu Yanqing fed her spoon by spoon.

Su Yu looked dazed, how did her mouth betray her?!

Su Yu would never admit that she was spineless.

For several days, Su Yu didn’t take a step out of the room, feeling like she was about to mold from being cooped up.

Standing by the window, outside was a vast rose garden, vibrant red like fire, stretching out in a patch. In the distance, busy servants could vaguely be seen, but they were too far away, and even if Su Yu shouted with all her might, they wouldn’t hear.

Su Yu held her chin in boredom and asked the system:【Has the mission been completed? How long will it take? 】

Looking at the progress bar showing no progress at all, the system also found it strange. Normally, after the male lead is betrayed, he should quickly seek solace in the female lead’s arms, so the progress bar shouldn’t be stagnant.

There must be a malfunction.

【Host, don’t worry, it should be done soon. 】

Quickly report this malfunction to the Quick Transmigration Bureau.

When Gu Yanqing came in, Su Yu didn’t react, standing by the window motionless, gazing at the rose field in a trance.

A tall figure approached from behind, the man’s arm lightly wrapping around her, pulling her into his embrace. The familiar cold scent spread at the tip of her nose, dominating the surrounding air.

“Like it? I’ll have someone pick a bouquet for you.”

Su Yu shook her head and suddenly turned around, hugging Gu Yanqing, acting spoiled, “Brother Yanqing, I’m so bored, can you give me back my phone?”

“Bored?”

Gu Yanqing glanced at the corner piled with CEO novels, game consoles, and tablets loaded with countless movies and TV series, the implication clear.

Su Yu blinked nervously, “But no one is here to talk to me, and you can’t accompany me all the time.”

Gu Yanqing neither agreed nor disagreed.

“You want me to stay with you all the time?”

Su Yu: “…”

If your ears are useless, you can donate them to those in need. Thank you.

After days of frustration, Su Yu finally erupted, pushing Gu Yanqing away irritably: “You know what I mean!”

She said with a tearful face: “Gu Yanqing, what exactly do you want by keeping me here? Yes, I did wrong to you, but then k*ll me, or let me go. I don’t want to be locked up in this tiny room every day like a prisoner. There is no freedom.”

Gu Yanqing remained calm, “I won’t k*ll you.”

Nor will he let her go.

She pushed away Gu Yanqing’s outstretched hand, glaring at him forcefully, “Then let me go! What’s the point of this? I’ve had enough. If I had known you were like this, I wouldn’t have been with you in the first place.”

“Shen Qingqing is so gentle and kind, she’s a perfect match for you, and she likes you so much. I’m sure she would be faithful to you, but you don’t accept her. Instead, you insist on being with me. Are all you men like this?”

Su Yu didn’t hesitate to attack Gu Yanqing with venomous words, while at the same time belittling herself and promoting the female lead.

Did you hear that? The female lead is so gentle and kind, morally upright, go be with her quickly, and stop bothering me.

Gu Yanqing lowered his gaze, lips pursed in silence.

He had asked himself this question too, but no matter what the answer was, it couldn’t change one fact — he indeed couldn’t bear to let Su Yu leave.

Even though she had done such despicable things.

Perhaps he was really despicable.

He said calmly: “Su Yu, everyone has to pay the price for their actions.”

“But that’s not the reason for you to keep me locked up. You have no right to do this!”

Gu Yanqing’s eyes were cold and gloomy: “I can.”

Su Yu understood, with Gu Yanqing’s status and position, as long as he didn’t commit m*rder or arson and the like, having some privileges was only natural.

Su Yu suddenly felt drained, tears and fear in her eyes.

Was she really going to be trapped here for the rest of her life? No one knew, no one cared. Being kept by Gu Yanqing, she became his hidden lover, unseen by others.

She was still so young, just for making one mistake, did she have to pay such a painful price?

It’s unfair.

Seeing Su Yu calm down, Gu Yanqing endured the tearing pain in his heart that he couldn’t suppress, and said lightly, “You’re tired, rest for a while. I’ll come to see you again in the afternoon.”

After speaking, he turned and walked out.

But as he was about to leave, the person by the window suddenly rushed over.

Gu Yanqing was caught off guard for a moment, letting Su Yu run out.

He remained calm, watching Su Yu run out towards the door, through the living room, the lawn, and then blocked by the locked gate.

The gate and fence were electrified, she couldn’t climb out.

The servants seemed to have been instructed, all of them lowered their heads as if they hadn’t seen anything.

The fact that the owner of the villa kept a woman in the villa was an unspoken understanding among all the servants.

Gu Yanqing turned and walked towards the study. As for Su Yu, it was really not good to keep her in the room all the time. The villa was big enough for her to cause trouble for a while.

A maid caught sight of Su Yu’s face, her eyes flickering for a moment, before she discreetly sent a message out.

[1] The word for melon seeds (瓜子 guāzi) has also become a popular internet slang term  吃瓜 (chī guā) which means  to gossip or to be a nosy bystander.
