After Transmigrating into a Book, I Had a Flash Marriage with the Beautiful Crazy Villain - Chapter 27.2
Qiu Shuang let out an embarrassed “Aiya,” her cheeks flushing red as she actually started acting shy.
Chu Ling immediately made the “old man on the subway looking at his phone” face before finally exhaling slowly. “Shuangshuang, I won’t interfere with your decisions, but you need to think this through. There’s no denying Fang Manwen is a very charming woman, but just don’t get in too deep, okay?”
Chu Ling couldn’t help but feel that Fang Manwen had far more life experience than Qiu Shuang. In contrast, Qiu Shuang was practically still a child at heart. She was worried Qiu Shuang might get hurt in this relationship.
But Qiu Shuang, now fully in love-brain mode, clearly wasn’t listening. “I know, don’t worry! I definitely won’t lose out. Besides, Fang Manwen wouldn’t dare mess with me anyway!”
Chu Ling thought about how their connection was all because of Qiu Shuang’s mom, and some of her worries eased slightly.
“Just be careful, okay?”
Qiu Shuang waved her off. “I know, I know! Relax! Your girl here is a seasoned pro, Fang Manwen is nothing!”
Chu Ling sighed. “A theoretical seasoned pro, but in reality, a complete blank slate, right?”
Qiu Shuang: “Oh, so you’re calling me out now? Hmph! What about you, then? How’s it going with your blogger sister? Have you two?”
She grinned suggestively, wiggling her eyebrows, her entire face screaming gossip mode and her mind clearly full of dirty thoughts.
“Shuangshuang, you seem even more perverted now.”
“Please, when have I ever been innocent?”
Chu Ling: “You’re so nosy.”
“So? Any progress? You two are already married, for heaven’s sake! How have you not sealed the deal yet? What are you being so reserved for?”
Qiu Shuang looked utterly puzzled, then her little face flushed bright yellow as she said, “Losing a corner every time you sleep, Beibei! You gotta seize the opportunity, your blogger sister is top-tier.
Not exaggerating, there must be plenty of people eyeing her. If one day someone snatches her away and you end up with nothing, you’ll have nowhere to cry about it, mark my words.”
Chu Ling wiped her face numbly. The words were crude, but the reasoning wasn’t wrong though Qiu Shuang’s phrasing was too crude. And besides she probably had the desire but not the guts.
Song Qingyi liked Ye Zhiyin, after all. If something really happened between them, wouldn’t she be held accountable once their agreement period ended?
What if Song Qingyi regretted it afterward and didn’t want a stain like her in her life.
Then she’d truly have nowhere to regret it.
Chu Ling swallowed her bitterness and solemnly declared, “No, that would violate my moral standards!”
Qiu Shuang squinted at her. “Huh? Did you enroll in a morality boot camp in the few days I haven’t seen you?”
Then she earnestly advised, “Life’s short, enjoy it while you can, you silly Beibei.”
Chu Ling: “…”
She didn’t dare seek pleasure, afraid she’d seek her own demise.
Wiping her face again, Chu Ling tried to change the subject, but Qiu Shuang pressed on, “Speaking of which, hasn’t your sister posted any videos lately? Ugh, my spiritual sustenance! Lingling, can’t you nudge her to upload something?”
Chu Ling deadpanned, “Do I look like I dare?”
Qiu Shuang sighed in frustration. “Why are you so spineless?! She’s right in front of you, what’s there to fear? If she dares to post, what’s stopping you from watching?!”
Chu Ling shook her head. “No way, it’d be too awkward. Song Qingyi must never find out I’ve been watching her videos behind her back.”
Just the thought of Song Qingyi discovering it made Chu Ling cringe so hard her toes curled.
Everyone dies once, but you can’t keep dying of embarrassment.
Those past humiliations could just drift away with the wind, no need to dredge them up again.
Qiu Shuang laughed heartily. “Grow a spine! Flaunt it right in front of her, if you’re not embarrassed, she will be!”
Chu Ling sighed peacefully. “Forget it. She’s probably just busy lately, that’s why she hasn’t updated.”
A hint of regret flickered in Chu Ling’s eyes. “No new content really leaves you feeling lonely, huh.”
Qiu Shuang nodded in agreement. “Yeah.”
The two sighed in unison. “So lonely!”
“Oh, right. Song Qingyi should be coming to pick me up later, and she’ll meet you too. Try to keep it together, okay? Like, really tone it down!”
Qiu Shuang’s eyes lit up instantly. “She’s coming?! So I get to meet her in person? Ha! ha, ha!”
Chu Ling: “Maybe I should tell her not to come after all.”
Qiu Shuang’s reaction was terrifying.
“No! How can she not come? It’s only right for her to meet your friends! Yes, she should come. I mean, you two are married, how could I, as your friend, not meet her? She has to come!”
Chu Ling: “…”
Regret. She shouldn’t have softened her heart people might not even need her kindness. Now look, pitying a woman only pushed herself into a pit.
But, the moment she pictured Song Qingyi’s lonely, sorrowful demeanor, Chu Ling’s breath hitched. She just couldn’t bring herself to be that heartless.
Chu Ling sighed softly, “Anyway, tone it down a bit. Don’t say whatever comes to mind, or I won’t be able to save you when the time comes. Are you even listening, Shuangshuang?”
Qiu Shuang responded with vague, absent-minded noises, clearly not paying attention. Chu Ling’s regret bubbled up again.
And that regret only intensified when Song Qingyi arrived, what had been a five out of ten on the regret scale quickly skyrocketed to a full ten.
Because Qiu Shuang, that little brat, had obviously treated her words as nothing more than background noise. The first thing she said upon seeing Song Qingyi was,
“Hello there, Lingling’s sister.”
Chu Ling’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t even dare to look at Song Qingyi.
And sure enough, Song Qingyi was momentarily stunned by the term “sister,” her gaze flickering toward Chu Ling with an odd, unreadable light.
But that wasn’t the end of it. Qiu Shuang, ever the one to shock without regard for consequences, leaned in conspiratorially and asked, “Sister Song, I heard you and Lingling are in a contractual marriage. Have you ever thought about turning it into the real deal?”
“Our Lingling is really great slender figure, soft and delicate, and quite the beauty too. Why don’t you give it a try? You’re already married, after all. It’s perfectly legal.”
“Turn it, into the real deal?”
Song Qingyi’s eyes slid back to Chu Ling as she quietly repeated the phrase.
Chu Ling’s mind went completely blank.
How could someone be this shameless?! With the actual person right here, she really went all out with zero filter!
