I Have the Aura of a Supporting Character in Yuri Novels - Chapter 33
The taste of a cold is not good. Tang Weixue, who has always been healthy, got sick this time. She has been too busy at work lately. On several occasions, Zhuyun has caught her working in the study in the middle of the night. Because of the sudden change in temperature, even an iron body couldn’t hold up, so Tang Weixue unfortunately fell ill. And Zhuyun, who was in close contact with her all day, became the first victim. However, Zhuyun cherished her life and took her medicine on time every time, so her symptoms were much lighter than Tang Weixue’s.
The cold wind howled outside, and the warmth in the room was so comfortable it made one want to close their eyes and take a nap. Unfortunately, Zhuyun had to keep an eye on Tang Weixue to make sure she took her medicine, otherwise, this woman would definitely find an excuse to say she had already taken it.
This illness was an eye-opener for Zhuyun. Who would have thought that the heroine, Tang Weixue, who was so decisive and capable on the outside, was actually a person who didn’t like taking medicine?
“Xiaozhu, Xiaozhu, I don’t feel well.”
Tang Weixue wrapped her arms around Zhuyun’s shoulders. The sick woman had a little less of her usual vibrant color, her brows were furrowed with illness, and her rosy lips had turned pale pink. Zhuyun felt very sorry for her and inexplicably thought she had lost a lot of weight.
Zhuyun frowned and held her breath. Facing Tang Weixue’s clinginess, she didn’t show any extra expression. She looked up at the clock and said, “It serves you right. I even took several days off for you. If you don’t get better, do you believe I’ll call Dr. Huang directly?”
Tang Weixue was just acting coquettishly. Who told Zhuyun she always gave her a hard time? Tang Weixue, of course, knew where she was wrong, but her body had always been fine. She could get through it without taking medicine, so there was no need to take it.
She listened to Zhuyun’s threat and let out a long, faint sigh. She looked at the impartial Zhuyun with an accusatory gaze. Tang Weixue wrapped her fingers around the other person’s hair and, with a bit of a temper, said, “I’m sick. Xiaozhu should be a little gentler.”
“Heh, being gentle to you right now seems useless.”
Zhuyun was constantly watching the time. When it was time to take the medicine, she expressionlessly handed over the pills. She stared intently at Tang Weixue, who was pretending to be innocent, and said coldly, “Take your medicine.”
Tang Weixue looked at the pills in her palm, then at Zhuyun, who would not tolerate any refusal. She forced a smile and obediently took the few pills.
Tang Weixue, with a slightly high temperature, had heat even on her lips. When she used the tip of her tongue to take the pills, she left a wet mark on Zhuyun’s palm. Knowing what she had done, she deliberately looked at Zhuyun seductively, then slowly gave her a kiss.
Zhuyun couldn’t stand it anymore. It was hard to tell if her face was red from being sick or from being teased by Tang Weixue, but she punched Tang Weixue’s shoulder and laughed, “You’re sick and you’re still not being good! You can do whatever you want when you’re better, but right now, you must take your medicine properly!”
Tang Weixue snorted softly. She quieted down when she realized her seduction had failed. She continued to sip water from her cup in small sips. Her aloof and noble expression was a stark contrast to her earlier one. Zhuun rushed over and pinched her cheek, laughing, “Are you a person with a dual personality? Does that mean I can have two girlfriends at once?”
This sounded quite harsh. How could the proud Tang Weixue tolerate it? She said unhappily, “What’s wrong? I’m not enough for you, and you think you’re a winner only when you have two women?”
When a person is sick, they are especially fragile and sensitive. Even Tang Weixue was no exception. In the past, no one doted on her, so whether she ate or took medicine when she was sick depended entirely on her mood. Her friend Huang Moli rarely saw her coming to see a doctor and had always thought Tang Weixue was stronger than an ox. In reality, Tang Weixue would just tough it out every time she got sick. Fortunately, they were all minor illnesses, which is why her health didn’t deteriorate.
What does it mean to be spoiled and arrogant? Tang Weixue understood the meaning of this idiom after she started dating Zhuyun. It turned out that being cared for by someone really makes one willful.
She used to think that Zhuyun, being younger, might have the same restlessness and recklessness that Tang Weixue no longer had. But as they got to know each other more deeply, Tang Weixue realized she had fallen into the stereotype of age. She was completely wrong. In fact, in some situations, Zhuyun was more considerate and attentive than her. So Tang Weixue felt very sorry for her, thinking that Zhuyun must have gone through something to become so thoughtful. But Tang Weixue couldn’t help but be lost in her tolerance, which made Tang Weixue feel secure.
This is why Tang Weixue was so temperamental during this illness. According to No. 857’s complaint, this was a case of one person willing to hit and the other willing to be hit.
When Zhuyun heard her unreasonable behavior, she thought to herself, Here she goes again!
But who told her she was her girlfriend? She’ll just coax her for now, after all, she’s sicker than she is.
“It was a joke, darling. How could you take it seriously? Do you see where my heart is every day? I think you’re the heartless one.” Zhuyun tapped Tang Weixue’s nose. Because she was sick, her voice had become hoarse, no longer as melodious as usual, but her doting on Tang Weixue was not diminished at all.
Tang Weixue giggled and fell into Zhuyun’s arms. Seriously, it’s just a cold. Why have I become so childish? It’s a good thing Xiaozhu can tolerate it.
Thinking of this, Tang Weixue quietly intertwined her fingers with Zhuyun’s and said softly, “Every day with Xiaozhu is happy and joyful.”
“Sweet words won’t make me forget about you taking your medicine tonight.” Zhuyun was very vigilant and absolutely would not give Tang Weixue any chance to skip her medicine.
Tang Weixue was so amused by her seriousness that she leaned back and forth, and finally kissed Zhuyun’s cheek, saying, “I like you.”
Zhuyun pursed her lips, holding back a smile, and said with a serious face, “Mhm, I know.”
“I want to be with Xiaozhu forever.” She turned around and threw herself into Zhuyun’s arms. When a strong-willed woman shows her vulnerability, the heart that loves her has long since melted.
Zhuyun stroked her back and felt that she had really lost a lot of weight recently. Her waist was almost like a willow branch. Zhuyun said, “Of course I won’t leave you, darling. You’re the person I worked so hard to get.”
She was originally a passerby in this world, and fate and the plot told her that she would die the next year. But with her cheat, she not only changed her original fate but also fell in love with the heroine, Tang Weixue. Although the male protagonist, Bai Xiangming, was not a threat, they were the official couple after all, so her heart was always a little uneasy, afraid of losing her. So she would cherish Tang Weixue even more. This was her girlfriend, and no one should try to snatch her away.
Tang Weixue offered her a kiss. It was gentle and soft, without any wildness or brutality. She kissed her very carefully, and even the touch of her tongue was so gentle.
After the kiss ended, there was a lingering affection in both of their eyes. One look was enough to tell that they were a couple who understood each other.
With such a good atmosphere, it seemed inappropriate not to do something.
Tang Weixue rubbed her hands together. Just as she put her hand on Zhuyun’s waist, she heard the jarring sound of a phone ringing.
She frowned unhappily, intending to ignore the noise, but Zhuyun was already sober. She smiled at Tang Weixue, then handed her the phone, only to see Tang Weixue’s expression darken even more.
“Xiaozhu is so considerate.”
“Just average~”
Zhuyun quickly escaped from her embrace and sat down on the carpet, determined not to fall for Tang Weixue’s honey trap again.
They were both sick and needed to rest, not engage in strenuous exercise!
Tang Weixue snorted unhappily, then slumped behind Zhuyun like a person without bones. She wrapped her arms around Zhuyun’s waist with a strong sense of possessiveness and said slowly, “We haven’t seen each other in half a month. Have you figured things out now?”
The person who called was Zhao Mingzhu, the stepmother. Ever since the big fight at the old house that day, Tang Weixue had completely ignored them. She didn’t answer their calls. They also wanted to go to the company to find Tang Weixue, but based on Zhao Mingzhu’s understanding of her, Tang Weixue would definitely have the security guards kick them out. So Zhao Mingzhu really didn’t understand what tricks Tang Weixue was playing. She was the one who wanted the relics, and now she was the one who was being distant. Zhao Mingzhu felt as if a guillotine was hanging over her head, and she was just waiting for Tang Weixue to drop it.
“What do you mean? You said you’d give us three days to think about it, so why did you have us kicked out on the second day? Aren’t you afraid of being drowned in other people’s spit? I’m your stepmother, so I can’t pressure you with filial piety, but Mr. Tang is your biological father!”
Zhao Mingzhu thought the call would be rejected again, but unexpectedly, Tang Weixue answered. She was overjoyed and even felt a little grateful to her. At least she answered this time. But soon, Zhao Mingzhu’s expression stiffened again. She had been tormented by Tang Weixue to the point of a nervous breakdown. Why was she still humbly thanking Tang Weixue? Was this woman training a dog? Just throwing a bone makes a person wag their tail at her.
Tang Weixue, you btch, why don’t you just die!*
Her resentment made Tang Weixue laugh. “I’ll take back my house whenever I want. You’ve been living in my house without paying a single cent, and you’re not even grateful. You even scold me. You really are an ungrateful wild dog.”
Zhao Mingzhu started cursing, shouting, “You unfilial daughter, your dad is sick because of you, do you know that? Let him come back to the old house, or you’ll be the death of him sooner or later!”
Zhao Mingzhu rarely confronted Tang Weixue in such a hysterical manner. She had always maintained a gentle and submissive persona. Father Tang loved her clear and soft voice the most. Sometimes, Tang Weixue would curse her in her heart, calling her a fake b*tch. But now, Zhao Mingzhu’s true colors were revealed. Where was the perfect image she had in Father Tang’s mind?
This was thanks to Tang Weixue’s little scheme. She simply didn’t give Father Tang and the others the three days to think. On the second day, she had them move out of the old house. The gossip was about Father Tang and Zhao Mingzhu, not a single person had a bad word to say about Tang Weixue. The older generation all knew about Father Tang and Zhao Mingzhu’s scandalous affair back then. His wife hadn’t been gone for long before he married a new wife. Anyone with a brain could see that they had an affair. So now that they were being tormented by Tang Weixue, it was a moment of great satisfaction for everyone. Why would anyone blame Tang Weixue?
She enjoyed Zhao Mingzhu’s breakdown. After all these years, Zhao Mingzhu’s only achievement was hiding that red box for so long. It seemed Zhao Mingzhu was very clear about what Tang Weixue cared about. She wasn’t a clever person, and Tang Weixue didn’t want to do anything illegal. She was also afraid that Zhao Mingzhu would get desperate and destroy the red box first, so she could only wait, and now was a good opportunity.
Tang Weixue effortlessly pushed Zhao Mingzhu to the edge of the cliff. Zhao Mingzhu wanted Tang Weixue to beg for the red box, so she came up with the idea of forcing her into a marriage. But Tang Weixue was one step ahead of her. She could not only get the red box but also take the opportunity to deal with this scumbag couple. She had tolerated them for so many years, and now that Tang Weixue was fully grown, she no longer had to care what others thought. So she could do whatever she wanted, and no one would come out to annoy her.
Tang Weixue mocked, “It’s fine if he’s sick. Don’t you have to serve him? Why do you think I agreed to let you in all those years ago? Wasn’t it to make you take good care of my dad?”
“Your dad and I have true love. You can’t insult our love!”
“Your true love is betraying my mother’s expectations of you. She provided you with food, clothing, and schooling, and in the end, you climbed into my dad’s bed. Your love is truly despicable.”
Zhao Mingzhu’s face was distorted, and her beautiful face became ferocious. What she hated the most was that past of living as a parasite, which made her see the gap between people.
“Tang Weixue, I’m calling today to inform you that your dad is sick and needs to return to the old house to recuperate. You don’t have to bring up the past. I didn’t do anything to hurt your mother. Didn’t I take care of her when she was sick? Your father and I spent every day together. Is it wrong for me to fall in love with him?!”
Zhujun rolled her eyes with an unreadable expression. What an idiot!
Tang Weixue laughed and rubbed her cheek. She was used to Zhao Mingzhu’s crazy talk, so she found Zhujun’s strange expression quite cute and wasn’t angered by Zhao Mingzhu’s words at all.
“You can come back to the old house. Just give me my mother’s relics, and I’ll let you come back.”
Zhao Mingzhu, of course, hadn’t forgotten the purpose of revealing the relics. She snapped, “No! You have to get married before I can give them to you.”
“Then there’s nothing I can do. The red box can only be exchanged for one condition.”
Zhao Mingzhu asked unwillingly, “Tang Weixue, you’re your dad’s only daughter. You can’t be unfilial!”
Tang Weixue raised an eyebrow. “Is that so?”
For a moment, Zhao Mingzhu felt as if she was being choked. Tang Weixue’s meaningful rhetorical question made her panic.
No, no, there’s no way she could know!
Tang Weixue sneered, “Zhao Mingzhu, I’ve never made things difficult for you. After all, I know you and my dad are equally disgusting. Blaming you alone would be too easy on my dad. So I took away his power and only give him money every month as I please. And you’re a vain vampire who can’t leave him and can only hold onto him. That’s how it’s been for so many years. If you have any conscience, give me back the red box. I might still be able to let you three live a peaceful life because of that shallow family tie. Otherwise, you can just wait to die. You know what I’m capable of.”
Zhao Mingzhu almost couldn’t catch her breath. She patted her chest, frantically trying to suppress the fear in her heart. Zhao Mingzhu hurriedly hung up the phone, no longer as arrogant as before.
Zhuyun saw this and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong with her?”
Tang Weixue leaned her head on Zhuyun’s shoulder and said in a soft, playful voice, “It’s a classic case of a guilty conscience. She thinks I’m going to take action against her. She also knows she’s no match for me. Now that I’ve threatened her and found her weakness, I don’t need to do anything. She’ll get herself into a mess first.”
Zhuyun propped her cheek on her hand and said, “Are you saying she’s scaring herself?”
She nodded and nuzzled Zhuyun. “I never planned to target her. I’ve tolerated this scumbag couple for so many years, so how could I harm an innocent life? I’m guessing that when that child grows up, they’ll regret why they have such parents.”
Zhuyun blinked and turned her face to ask, “Are you really going to let them off the hook? I mean, Zhao Mingzhu and your father.”
Seeing how well Zhuyun understood her, Tang Weixue couldn’t help but kiss her lips. She looked at her and said, “Once I get my mother’s relics, I’ll send them abroad. By then, the old scumbag will be left for Zhao Mingzhu. After all, they’re ‘true love’.”
“Send them abroad?”
Tang Weixue nodded and explained, “I’ll cut off his company dividends and have someone keep an eye on them abroad. They don’t know about our relationship yet. When Zhao Mingzhu finds out, she’ll definitely come to bother you. We’ll settle all the old and new grudges at once and let them go abroad so they’re out of sight. Don’t think they’re going to live a good life. Zhao Mingzhu doesn’t have the ability to support a family. Once they lose financial support, the ‘true love’ of this old husband and young wife will eventually fall apart.”
Seeing how thoughtfully she had planned everything, Zhuyun’s heart felt sweet. This is why Tang Weixue was so reliable. She took precautions before things even happened. This moved Zhuyun to kiss her forcefully and say affectionately, “You’re so good to me, darling. I love you so much!”
“You better,” Tang Weixue said without any shyness. She accepted Zhujun’s love and showed her affection for Zhuyun with her actions.
“Where are you dragging me?”
“Back to the bedroom. If you want to, the couch is fine too.” Tang Weixue stared at Zhuyun with deep eyes. Her hidden meaning made Zhuyun roll her eyes in disgust.
“This person is way too energetic! No. 857, do you have a medicine in your store that makes people sexually apathetic? I need it urgently!”
I do, but I’m afraid you won’t be willing to buy it.
Zhuyun was surprised. “Huh?” She had only asked casually, but she didn’t expect it to actually exist.
“Do you have everything in your store?”
Besides things that already exist in this world, yes, I have everything
Zhuyun smiled with a mischievous glint in her eyes. Looking at Tang Weixue, she had an idea.
What’s wrong, Xiaozhu?
“Nothing. When I get away from the plot-driven death, will I get mission points as a reward?”
Normally, you’d have to leave the world to get the points. But I’m No. 857! I can talk to my supervisor. Maybe I can make it happen!
Zhuyun smiled in satisfaction and thanked No. 857.
I think I know what to get Tang Weixue for her birthday next year.
I hope she’ll like it.
While Zhuyun was spacing out, Tang Weixue took her silence as a “yes.” By the time she snapped back to reality, she was already pinned down on the bed by Tang Weixue.
“You’re so annoying! You’re doing it again!”
It seems that when I feel sorry for Tang Weixue, I’m the one who suffers. Oh well, I have no choice but to spoil her.
The room was filled with warmth and intimacy. This was their little world, and no one could disturb them.
This day, Tang Weixue’s office welcomed Zhuyun. She had the day off from school and wanted to visit her CEO girlfriend. So she followed the assistant to Tang Weixue’s office.
Her long hair was down, and her round face was rosy. When Zhuyun showed a bright smile, she was a cute, naive, and playful girl.
“Hi, wife.”
Tang Weixue’s pen stopped. Her cold and elegant eyes relaxed with a smile, and a fleeting hint of shyness appeared on her face. This was the first time Zhuyun had used that title.
The assistant’s jaw dropped. It seemed she had just heard a shocking secret.
Tang Weixue got up and took her hand. Seeing the assistant’s wide-eyed and stunned expression, she smiled and said, “Get us some drinks and snacks.”
“Y-yes!” As an excellent assistant, she quickly regained her composure. Other colleagues saw the assistant leave the office and asked curiously, “Who is that young lady? Is she a friend of CEO Tang’s?”
The assistant quietly adjusted her glasses, her eyes filled with “you’re so naive” written all over them. Use your brain. When have you ever seen a friend of CEO Tang dare to visit her during work hours? This person isn’t just a friend. She’s the woman who can call CEO Tang “wife”!
“It’s best we don’t ask about CEO Tang’s personal life.” After saying this, the assistant slowly pushed a snack cart back into the office.
Zhuyun sat in Tang Weixue’s office chair, spinning around and playing. Tang Weixue leaned against the desk, smiling as she watched her.
The assistant couldn’t help but shiver. Was I seeing things? I actually saw a look of affection on CEO Tang’s face! That’s unbelievable! Hey, that almost rhymed.
“CEO Tang, would you like me to get you a cup of coffee?”
Tang Weixue waved her hand. “No need. You can go back to your work.”
Zhujun thought the assistant wouldn’t see her little movements, so she nudged Tang Weixue’s pant leg with the tip of her shoe. She pursed her lips, gesturing for Tang Weixue to eat the lunch she had made.
Tang Weixue nodded obediently, opened the lunchbox, and gently praised Zhuyun.
The assistant quickly bowed her head and left. As a qualified assistant, being observant was a basic requirement. Even if she wanted to watch the gossip, she couldn’t watch CEO Tang. She was still counting on her salary.
But not long after, the assistant knocked on the office door with a look of resignation. Without even looking up, she knew Tang Weixue was giving her the evil eye.
“CEO Tang, CEO Bai just called and said he wants to meet with you.”
Why didn’t Bai Xiangming call Tang Weixue’s phone directly? The answer was simple: he was blocked.
Tang Weixue lowered her eyes and wiped the lipstick off Zhuyun’s lips. She said indifferently, “I got it.”
The assistant quickly closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhuyun smiled and said, “You’re so busy, darling.”
“But after seeing you, I’m not afraid of being busy anymore.”
Zhuyun didn’t say anything and obediently let Tang Weixue continue to kiss her. Then she heard Tang Weixue say, “Say it again.”
Zhuyun opened her moist eyes and said naughtily, “Say what?”
That one time, she had only called her “wife” to declare her identity. It was her little trick.
“You know what I mean.”
“I don’t~”
Tang Weixue deepened the kiss in frustration, making Zhuyun beg, “Don’t kiss me anymore. The food is getting cold. Hurry up and eat, wife!”
Ugh, this childish person needs to be coaxed before she’ll eat.
Zhuyun put her hands on her hips and glared at her fiercely, unaware of how lovable she looked.
Tang Weixue couldn’t help but smile. She was satisfied and said softly, “Okay, wife.”
Ew~ You’re so cheesy just eating a meal!
“Single dogs, go away!” Zhuyun retorted.
Hmph, systems don’t have feelings. I’m single, and I’m proud!
While they were bickering, Tang Weixue didn’t sit anywhere else. She simply pulled Zhuyun onto her lap and occasionally fed her a bite. So when the assistant came back in, she saw this scene.
The assistant laughed awkwardly, “CEO Tang, a Ms. Zhao Mingzhu is downstairs looking for you. How should I handle her?”
Tang Weixue’s expression didn’t change. This coincidence must have been intentional. In that case, she might as well deal with them all at once.
She fed Zhuyun a boiled shrimp and said with a faint smile, “Let her come up. Put her in the small conference room. Then call Bai Xiangming and tell him to be here in five minutes.”
A chubby-cheeked Xiaozhu is so cute. I want to kiss her. But maybe I shouldn’t. I might make her mad. I have to spoil the wife I worked so hard to get.
