After I Transmigrated into the Novel, I made the Heroine Fall for Me - Chapter 12

“Xiao Xiao, I’m lost.”

Fang Qingying used the softest, most adorable voice to say the most matter-of-fact words.

Gu Shengxiao had just taken a sip of porridge when she heard this and nearly spat it out.

She quickly swallowed and picked up her phone to check Fang Qingying’s chat window. Another photo had been sent, one that showed a familiar environment to Gu Shengxiao.

Panshan Road was the most luxurious villa district in the city, with each villa occupying a vast area. Among them, the largest “small villa” was Gu Shengxiao’s.

“Small Villa” was the name of this particular villa, not an indication of its size.

In other words, Fang Qingying had been walking for about five minutes and still hadn’t left the villa’s grounds.

Gu Shengxiao called her. “Hey, Xiao Ying, where are you now?”

She had forgotten to mention that her home was a bit large especially the small garden in the backyard, which was about the size of three or four basketball courts, with a dedicated swimming area nearby. The garage was in the front courtyard, housing at least seven or eight cars.

As a result, the distance from the villa to the gate was roughly two to three kilometers. Walking it would probably take about seven or eight minutes?

“Ah, I’m… I don’t know. I’m walking on a green path with trees on the right, and I feel like I can’t see the end,” Fang Qingying said, looking around in confusion, trying her best to describe her location.

Unfortunately, after careful observation, she truly couldn’t figure out where she was.

“…You took the wrong path. The long, straight green path with trees on the right leads to the backyard garden. When you left, you should have taken the path with speed bumps, the one with trees on the left.”

Gu Shengxiao pinched the bridge of her nose as she spoke, pulling a car key from the living room drawer and heading outside.

“Find a shady spot by the green path and stay there. I’ll come pick you up.”

“Okay.”

Fang Qingying agreed immediately. She glanced at the large tree beside her and decisively crouched down to wait for Gu Shengxiao.

Just as Gu Shengxiao had said, when she left, she had indeed seen two paths, one with trees on the left and one with trees on the right.

While waiting, she still had the decency to send Shen Lixie a message saying she was lost and asking him to wait a few more minutes.

Meanwhile, Shen Lixie saw Fang Qingying’s message immediately. He leaned back in the driver’s seat, the car window rolled down.

The security guard nearby, noticing that Shen Lixie hadn’t moved for a while, asked curiously, “Sir, which resident are you waiting for?”

There were only five villas on Panshan Road, two of which were vacant. The other three were occupied by high-profile figures. Judging by Shen Lixie’s attire and car, he didn’t seem like trouble, which piqued the guard’s interest.

“Uncle, do you know which villa belongs to Gu Shengxiao?” Shen Lixie asked after a moment of hesitation, deciding he might as well go in and pick up Fang Qingying himself.

To his surprise, the moment the guard heard “Gu Shengxiao,” he quickly rolled up the window and snapped angrily.

“Pah! Another playboy trying to chase after Actress Gu!”

Shen Lixie: “???”

Kid, do you have a lot of question marks right now?

He wasn’t pursuing Gu Shengxiao, he was just asking a question. How did that make him some playboy chasing after women?

He felt offended all over again.

Shen Lixie could proudly declare that he had been single for all 27 years of his life. He was truly so proud.

Yeah, right.

He had been fed dog food since childhood, first from his parents, and now still from them. He was often treated like an afterthought, perfectly embodying the trope of “parents are the true love, the child is just an accident.”

If it weren’t for the fact that his parents knew Fang Qingying’s parents and occasionally sent him to stay at the Fang household, he might have long since been sick of all the lovey-dovey displays.

With a sigh, he lowered his head and sent Fang Qingying a message: “I can’t come in to pick you up. You’ll have to manage on your own.”

Now he understood why the land along the mountain road was worth its weight in gold, the people living here were either wealthy or influential.

Though, upon reflection, the Shen and Fang families weren’t exactly lacking in resources either, given that they owned vast stretches of suburban land and even entire mountains.

If not for a twist of fate that led their families to build their homes next to each other, they might never have met in the first place.

The Fang family had made their fortune in real estate after moving to H City, and now they owned more properties here than anyone else.

But that wasn’t all, the head of the Yanjing Fang family was Fang Qingying’s uncle.

Fang Qingying had already been picked up by Gu Shengxiao and was sitting obediently in the passenger seat when her phone chimed. She pulled it out to check.

Fang Qingying: Xiaoxiao is driving me out. We’ll probably arrive soon.

Shen Lixie: Got it.

Just as she put her phone away, Gu Shengxiao asked her a question: “Xiao Ying, don’t you have any memories of this place?”

“Huh?” Fang Qingying was baffled. Why would she have any impression of this place?

Hearing her confusion, Gu Shengxiao wasn’t upset. Instead, she explained, “You used to live here.”

Fang Qingying blinked, then pressed her face against the car window, taking in the scenery outside. She gulped and asked, “How much does it cost to live here?”

A few million probably wasn’t enough, right?

“Not much. Three or four hundred million,” Gu Shengxiao replied casually.

Fang Qingying gasped. “Wow~”

Gu Shengxiao added, “The villas along this mountain road were all built and sold by your family, land included.”

Fang Qingying’s pupils shrank in shock, leaving her speechless. Only one thought echoed in her mind: Her family was filthy rich!

The author of this novel had given her character an incredibly privileged background!

Too bad the original owner of this body had been written as a brainless cannon fodder villainess.

“Other than being surprised, don’t you have anything else to say?” Gu Shengxiao asked, her eyes glinting with amusement.

“No,” Fang Qingying shook her head. “My childhood memories aren’t that clear.”

In fact, they were practically nonexistent.

The novel’s author hadn’t written about the original Fang Qingying’s childhood, and when she had inherited the character’s memories and the plot, only the present events were included, there was nothing from her younger years.

It was disturbingly blank. Yet, whenever someone mentioned her past, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

Fang Qingying figured this was probably just the work of the plot’s invisible hand.

“Is that so?” Gu Shengxiao replied, sounding disappointed. “Not even a little bit? Other than the memories of you bullying me, there’s really nothing else?”

The moment Fang Qingying heard the word “bullying,” her entire body tensed up.

Worried that the original owner’s bullying might have left a bad impression on Gu Shengxiao, what should she do?

She shook her head desperately. “I’m sorry, this is all I remember right now.”

“It’s okay.”
