Quick Transmigration - After Betraying the Male Lead, the Supporting Female Character Gets Locked Up and Cries - Chapter 60

“What about Bai Luo?” Su Yu asked stubbornly.

“What does it have to do with her?”

Su Yu attempted one last desperate struggle.

“She likes you so much. During the five years I wasn’t around, she was the one by your side. Your grandfather should like her too. Don’t you have any feelings for her at all?”

Quickly say no!

Qi Huaizhi frowned at first, but then suddenly relaxed as if realizing something, a hint of a smile emerging in his eyes.

“Are you jealous?” he chuckled softly and asked.

Su Yu: “……”

I’m jealous of your uncle!

Su Yu’s silence seemed to imply her agreement, and Qi Huaizhi felt his heart soften. He reassured her: “There’s nothing between me and Bai Luo; at most, it’s just a friendship between classmates and subordinates. Don’t overthink it.”

Su Yu, in pain, asked: “You really don’t like her at all?”

Facing her probing questions, Qi Huaizhi didn’t feel annoyed or impatient; instead, he felt a sense of peace.

Does this mean Su Yu is starting to care about him?

Although he knew this might just be a trivial sense of possessiveness arising from a woman’s heart.

Qi Huaizhi was always good at self-deception.

He nodded, “Not at all.”

“Who I like, didn’t you figure that out last night?”

He lowered his gaze, pinching Su Yu’s chin, his expression ambiguous: “Or maybe I wouldn’t mind showing you again with some practical action.”

Su Yu’s heart skipped a beat, instinctively sensing danger, she quickly shook her head.

She tugged at Qi Huaizhi’s sleeve and awkwardly changed the subject: “Qi Huaizhi, I’m hungry.”

Fortunately, Qi Huaizhi wasn’t that inhumane. He followed the principle of sustainable development and didn’t plan to starve Su Yu to death in one go.

He regretfully withdrew his gaze and let her go.

The not-so-obedient woman seized the opportunity to scamper away, curling up in the corner of the sofa, wrapped in a blanket, her face full of vigilance and resistance.

“Go cook quickly; I’m starving to death.” she commanded.

Relying on Qi Huaizhi’s indulgence, Su Yu once again became domineering, like an ungrateful cat that won’t be tamed—if not suppressed, it would act up, no wonder she was called the ‘cat mistress.’

Qi Huaizhi, the “servant,” resignedly got up and walked into the kitchen.

In the living room, Su Yu curled up tightly, her eyes vacant, wanting to cry but having no tears: 【System, do I still have a chance to turn things around?】

The system fell silent for two seconds before replying: 【What do you think?】

Recalling the “I will never fail” vow she made at the beginning of this task, Su Yu’s eyes brimmed with tears as she mourned her soon-to-be lost points.

【No, these two times were just an accident. I absolutely won’t fail in the next task.】

In an instant, Su Yu regained her fighting spirit.

System: 【…Host, keep it up.】

After saying that, it quickly filed a report to the higher-ups—Is it too late to change hosts now?

Qi Huaizhi’s cooking wasn’t particularly good, but it wasn’t bad either. It was standard home-cooked dishes, the aroma wafting through the living room, adding a touch of warm, homey atmosphere to the cold house.

“Eat slowly; no one’s gonna snatch it from you.”

Su Yu ignored him and muttered, “Why don’t you try not eating all night when you are tired?”

Qi Huaizhi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled ambiguously: “As far as I know, I was the one putting in the effort last night.”

Su Yu’s hand holding the chopsticks suddenly stiffened, causing the food to fall with a thud. Her cheeks uncontrollably turned red, both shy and angry: “Shut up.”

Shameless dog!

The meal was relatively uneventful, and Su Yu finally regained some strength as she lazily watched the man tidy up the table and head to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

She couldn’t help but sigh: 【Actually, Qi Huaizhi isn’t too bad.】

He was good-looking, wealthy, considerate, could cook, and washed dishes himself, except for the times he acted unreasonable.

The system cautiously chose its words carefully: 【Hmm… I think the host doesn’t have a clear understanding of herself.】

What qualifications does a scumbag have to judge the protagonist she has scorned?

Su Yu choked: 【Thanks, I’ll send that sentence back to you. If you can’t speak properly, you can just keep your mouth shut.】

System smiled: 【I don’t have a mouth, so I can’t close it.】

Su Yu: 【…】

Manually blocking the system.

At that moment, the doorbell rang again.

Su Yu paused her banter with the system and instinctively looked over.

Is the female lead back again?

Now that she was finished with her meal, she was full and energized. Su Yu casually wrapped herself in the blanket and slowly got up. She glanced at Qi Huaizhi, who was focused on washing dishes, didn’t call him, and went to open the door herself.

Su Yu, who had already failed the mission, was completely rotten.

Let it be, whatever happens.

She didn’t care about the points anymore. If the female lead scolded her again, she would just scold back. This ridiculous task didn’t earn her any money and just made her unhappy; whoever wanted to do it could do it.

With fierce determination, Su Yu marched over to open the door, and then—

Her anger was instantly extinguished upon seeing who was outside, leaving her speechless.

“What are you doing here?”

Su Yu lowered her gaze to avoid the piercing look of the person in front of her, her expression awkward, clutching the blanket tightly.

The moment he saw Su Yu, Su Jingyu’s eyes turned red.

“I’m here to take you home.”

If it weren’t for Li Heng telling him, he wouldn’t have known his sister was here with Qi Huaizhi.

He reached out and grabbed Su Yu’s hand: “Sister, come home with me.”

He didn’t ask why Su Yu was here or what happened last night; at this moment, Su Jingyu only had one thought in his mind: to take Su Yu home.

Su Yu instinctively pulled her arm back, causing the blanket to nearly fall.

“Jingyu, let go of me first…”

In her struggle, the loose blanket slipped off with a swish, revealing her nightgown that couldn’t hide her fair skin and the ambiguous marks and bite marks all over her.

Su Yu: “…”

Su Yu felt this was punishment from heaven for her earlier decision to give up. Her already complicated situation was made even worse.

Seeing this scene, Su Jingyu’s expression changed drastically.

Before coming, he had imagined what might happen between the two, but nothing could compare to the impact of witnessing it with his own eyes.

“Did Qi Huaizhi do this to you?”

Su Jingyu’s voice was calm, but the fierceness in his eyes was almost tangible, like a knife, as if he could immediately rush in front of Qi Huaizhi and k*ll him the moment she nodded.

Su Yu felt nervous and uneasy: “Jingyu, calm down.”

Su Jingyu couldn’t calm down.

“Did he threaten you? Did he force you?”

Thinking of the situation at home, Su Yu hesitated and chose to lie: “No, it was my choice.”

“Xiao Yu.”

Qi Huaizhi had come out of the kitchen at some point, calmly watching the two struggling at the door.

Even wearing a silly Hello Kitty apron didn’t diminish his imposing presence.

He stood there, his dark eyes slightly raised, locking gazes with Su Jingyu. It felt like electricity flashed in the air, neither willing to back down.

“Come here.”

This sentence was directed at Su Yu.

“Sister, come home with me!” Su Jingyu’s voice followed closely.

“Xiao Yu.”

“Sister!” 

Su Yu felt caught in the middle, her head spinning, wishing she could split herself in half—one half staying here and the other going home with Su Jingyu.

Seeing her hesitation, Qi Huaizhi’s brow furrowed slightly.

“Su Yu, come here.”

Qi Huaizhi’s voice was very calm but cold, like the ice on a mountain that hasn’t melted for years, sending a shiver down her spine.

“Think of the Su family; don’t make me say it a third time.”

He didn’t hide the threat in his words.

It was like a final ultimatum. If he waited any longer, he couldn’t guarantee that he could stay as calm as he was now.
