I Have the Aura of a Supporting Character in Yuri Novels - Chapter 46

The private banquet went smoothly enough. Amidst the clinking of glasses, Tang Xinhai was inexplicably filled with a sense of dread and unease, making her seem distracted throughout the event. Ye Yiran was so worried about her that after a long time of toasting with friends, she found an opportunity to lead her to a resting area and have her sit down.

She brought a plate of cake and placed it in front of Tang Xinhai, saying helplessly, “What’s wrong with you today? You seem so out of sorts, I was afraid you’d twist your ankle in those heels.”

Ye Yiran was very concerned about her because she had never seen Tang Xinhai in this state before. The Tang Xinhai Ye Yiran knew was energetic and unyielding, able to quickly pull herself together and decisively handle the gossip at the company, even after being ambushed by Chen Feifei. This is why Ye Yiran was very pleased with Tang Xinhai’s character and abilities; she was like a sturdy bamboo growing in a rock crevice, stubborn and resolute.

Tang Xinhai was a grateful person. After spending a long time with Ye Yiran, she understood that Ye Yiran was not a bad person. However, Tang Xinhai was still confused as to why she had been chosen by Ye Yiran as her confidant. But this wasn’t a problem to dwell on; all she had to do was not disappoint Ye Yiran, and she would be worthy of her trust.

She pursed her lips and said, “I’m fine. I’m probably just sick, my body feels a little unwell.”

She didn’t tell the truth, mainly because she didn’t know how to explain what was happening. It was easier to just make up an excuse.

Ye Yiran naturally reached out and touched her forehead, which made Tang Xinhai freeze for a moment. Ye Yiran said in a low voice, “You don’t seem to have a fever. How about this, there’s nothing much happening at the banquet now, you should go back to the hotel and rest.”

Tang Xinhai was still feeling awkward about Ye Yiran’s gesture. After hearing what she said, she smiled and declined, saying, “You don’t have to trouble yourself. Maybe I’ll be fine in a little while.”

Ye Yiran looked as if she had more to say, but seeing Tang Xinhai’s stubborn expression, she had no choice but to agree.

Tang Xinhai blinked awkwardly, realizing that rejecting her boss’s concern seemed like a mistake. But strangely, Ye Yiran had agreed to it.

The two were silent. Tang Xinhai had a lot on her mind, and Ye Yiran was tired from talking to people at the banquet for a long time. For a moment, neither of them spoke, simply enjoying the quiet.

“I wondered why I couldn’t find Auntie, so she’s here.” Chu Chengwen walked over with a smile. When he saw the elegantly dressed Tang Xinhai, a flash of astonishment passed through his eyes. The woman, already beautiful on a normal day, was now radiant, and her captivatingly cool demeanor made her voluptuous and beautiful features seem sacred and untouchable.

Chu Chengwen hadn’t expected to encounter Tang Xinhai, this delightful surprise, and couldn’t help but look at her a few more times. But he quickly restrained his inner desires.

No matter how beautiful Tang Xinhai was, it was no use; she liked women. Chu Chengwen felt it was a great pity, like being able to see but not touch.

Ye Yiran’s attitude toward Chu Chengwen had changed a bit; she clearly remembered their conversation at the dinner table. She said with a smile, “Chengwen, are you looking for me?”

“I’m not looking for you, Auntie. Auntie Meng is looking for you.”

“Yan Yan is looking for me?” Ye Yiran subconsciously looked at the unwell Tang Xinhai next to her, hesitated for a moment, but decided to leave her behind. Ye Yiran then said, “Xinhai, you’re not feeling well, so you should rest for a while. Chengwen, you can come with me to see her.”

Chu Chengwen shrugged, saying thoughtfully, “Auntie, Auntie Meng is going to talk to you about her daughter’s marriage. What would a big man like me do there? I have other things to attend to later, so I won’t be accompanying you.”

Ye Yiran gave Tang Xinhai a reassuring look. After thinking it over, she decided to subtly reprimand Chu Chengwen, saying, “This child, Xinhai, is sick but insists on pushing through. I know she doesn’t want to disappoint me. Chengwen, having this child work for me has made my life much easier. Alright, I won’t waste any more time talking to you. I need to hurry over and talk to Auntie Meng about her daughter’s matters.”

There was a hint of scrutiny in Chu Chengwen’s eyes. He sat down lazily and said mockingly, “If I didn’t know you were unmarried, Auntie, I’d almost think she was your daughter. I’ve never seen you be so kind to an outsider.”

Tang Xinhai held her hand to her forehead, pretending to be sick. She had no interest in talking to Chu Chengwen, as it was a complete waste of her breath.

Her profile was as exquisite as a painting. Even though she was intentionally ignoring Chu Chengwen, he didn’t lose his composure and get angry with her, because Tang Xinhai’s beauty always unconsciously soothed the anger in his heart.

Chu Chengwen had a little to drink, and his personality became more lively. He squinted his eyes, his long, narrow eyes giving him a cunning look. Chu Chengwen said, “You look unwell. You should go to the hotel and get some sleep. Here, this is my room card. But don’t worry, I’m not so desperate as to covet my auntie’s chief confidant. I have other appointments tonight, so no one will be sleeping in this room.”

Chu Chengwen knew he shouldn’t have said this, as it would only make Tang Xinhai dislike him even more. But what did it matter? He was taking advantage of being drunk to flirt with Tang Xinhai, who was to blame but himself for being a drunkard now?

His words were frivolous, and Tang Xinhai gave him an indifferent look. Chu Chengwen laughed heartily. This woman was truly beautiful, even the way she glared at people was so alluring.

Tang Xinhai got up and moved away from him. Talking to a scoundrel like him was less appealing than just finding a quiet corner to daydream in.

Just then, there was a movement in the handbag she was holding. She took out her phone and saw that it was Zhu Jun calling. This made the gloomy and melancholic Tang Xinhai break into a radiant smile, which made everything around her seem to fade away, as she alone possessed a dazzling brilliance.

Chu Chengwen was stunned. He felt he must truly be drunk, because just now, a thought had crossed his mind: being a lackey for a woman like this might not be so bad after all.

“Xiao Zhu, have you been waiting long at home? I’m sorry, I might have to wait a little longer before I can come back.”

This was the helplessness of a working person; one’s workday never truly ends on time. Fortunately, the salary was a small comfort to Tang Xinhai.

She frowned apologetically, concentrating on waiting for Zhu Jun’s reply. But she waited and waited, and there was no sound from the other end. Tang Xinhai’s heart skipped a beat, and she asked anxiously, “Xiao Zhu? Xiao Zhu, are you listening?”

Suddenly, there was a sound of friction. Tang Xinhai was wondering what the sound was and what Zhuyun was doing. Just as she was about to speak again, Tang Xinhai finally heard another sound—a soft, alluring moan. It made Tang Xinhai’s face turn serious, with not a single hint of lustful thoughts.

“Zhuyun, where are you!”

“Ugh, I feel so unwell, Xinhai, please come and save me. I… I don’t remember where I am.”

Zhuyun was suppressing the strange sensations in her body, and her voice had become unintentionally sexy and enchanting. Her unavoidable breathing sounds as she spoke made Tang Xinhai’s ears burn. She was in agony, yet she still had the presence of mind to act pitiful to win Tang Xinhai’s sympathy. This left the bystander, System 857, so shocked that its two antennas bent.

“Good girl, don’t worry. I’ll come and save you. Don’t be afraid, stay calm and look around for any landmarks first. Xiao Zhu is a very capable person, you’ll definitely find something.” Tang Xinhai was so anxious that she was digging her fingers into her palm, but she couldn’t panic. She had to stay calm!

Zhuyun curled up on the bed, the tingling sensations leaving tear marks at the corners of her eyes. She didn’t seem to realize how sweet her voice sounded at that moment. She was slowly answering Tang Xinhai’s questions, keeping her in suspense.

After she gave the room number, Zhuyun couldn’t resist the heat inside her any longer and quickly hung up the phone.

Her pale, slender arm hung over the side of the bed, the phone in her hand falling to the floor as her fingers loosened their grip. She ran her hands over the sheets, gripping them tightly, as if this could drive away the disobedient urges in her body.

Why did you hang up? I thought you would continue to seduce Tang Xinhai on the phone.

“Shut… up! Who said I was seducing her? Do you even know what ‘genuine emotion’ is!”

Then why did you hang up!

Zhu Jun bit her lip, her face flushed as she closed her eyes, looking like she was waiting to be plucked. She smiled weakly and said, “If I didn’t hang up, I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to hold it in and would just scream. Understand, you idiot.”

Hiss, I really don’t want to be a system that instantly gets it!

Don’t worry, sweetie. As soon as Tang Xinhai comes in, and I confirm that you two are safe, I’ll immediately go offline. I promise not to peek! I’m a system with principles!

Zhuyun grunted feebly, not responding.

She was now experiencing what it felt like to be tormented by both pleasure and pain. She had relied on her endurance to be able to talk to Tang Xinhai just now. Now that she was halfway to success, all that was left was the final crucial step. She was eagerly awaiting Tang Xinhai’s arrival.

As for whether Tang Xinhai could get in, Zhuyun trusted that she had the ability to get the room card, so she said softly, “Sister Xinhai, you’d better… hurry and come.”

Don’t call her ‘sister’ now. Save it for later, hehehe.

But, Xiao Zhu, you really surprised me this time! The fact that you could hold back from taking the Mind-Clearing Pill is so awesome!

“With so many words to praise someone, you only came up with ‘awesome’?”

Zhuyun found a little humor in her suffering. The hand that was gripping the bedsheet slowly loosened and restlessly moved to her leg.

She turned over, pressed her hand down, and let out a soft sigh.

Sweetie! She’s here, she’s here!

Zhuyun’s smile widened. As soon as System 857 finished speaking, the door was opened. The sound of hurried footsteps made Zhuyun unable to control herself, and she started crying.

Thank goodness, you’re finally here.

Her burning hot hand grabbed Tang Xinhai’s wrist, and she pulled her with all her might, making Tang Xinhai fall onto the bed. Zhuyun looked at Tang Xinhai’s eyes and said, “I’ve been drugged.”

Tang Xinhai tenderly held Zhu Jun’s hot little face. The disheveled hair clung to her cheeks, and the mixture of sweat and hair made Zhuyun look very sexy. The hair that lay on her fair, snowy neck disappeared into her dress at the shoulders.

“I know.”

Zhuyun smiled mischievously, then leaned on Tang Xinhai’s body and inhaled the scent of her hair, saying, “Xinhai, this evening gown suits you very well.”

The black dress hugged her perfect figure. She admired the beauty while skillfully kicking off Tang Xinhai’s matching heels with her little foot.

Zhuyun’s deep, fiery gaze made Tang Xinhai feel as if she was the one who had been drugged. She swallowed nervously and said, “I… I’ve always wanted to find a romantic opportunity to confess to you, but it seems I don’t need that chance now. However, I still have to tell you what’s in my heart. Xiao Zhu, I like you, I like you very, very much.”

Zhuyun raised her eyebrows. Having endured for so long, sweat was already dripping down her cheeks. “Drip,” a single drop fell onto Tang Xinhai’s face.

“You’re quite dedicated. You have to say it even at a critical moment like this.”

She lowered her head and pressed her cheek against Tang Xinhai’s, letting out a satisfied sigh as she felt the cool touch.

Zhuyun’s hand, which was on Tang Xinhai’s waist, reached for the invisible zipper at the back. In a low, husky voice, she asked, “Are you willing?”

Tang Xinhai lifted her hips, allowing the zipper to be unfastened more easily. She didn’t need to answer; her actions spoke for her.

Zhuyun smiled tenderly and leaned into her ear, saying, “How is this not romantic? As long as I’m with you, every moment is romantic.”

“I love you.”

“By the way, this evening gown looks beautiful on you, and… it’s also very easy to take off.”

On the soft, big bed, the two were inseparable. The curtains were drawn, and the lights were no longer on. It was dim and private, a secret and safe place. They had a whole night to whisper sweet nothings and be intimate.

Fade to black, fade to black!

Even though I’m disconnected from Xiao Zhu, I, the love-life guard, will not leave my post without permission. I’ll keep a close eye on what’s happening outside!

System 857 talked to itself, almost patting its chest.

It happily put away the Mind-Clearing Pill. Then, looking at Zhuyun’s one thousand points, the antennas on its head suddenly drooped.

Sigh, when will these days come to an end?

It suddenly thought of something, opened Zhuyun’s personal information panel, and saw a title “Yuri-Genre Female Side Character” next to Zhuyun’s name. It muttered to itself.

Fortunately, there’s this hidden killer move. Once the halo is out, who would dare to block Xiao Zhu!

Whoever blocks her will die! Hmph.

Thank goodness Xiao Zhu is so smart and came up with this plan, otherwise, this path would have been difficult to walk.

It quickly put away the panel, humming a song without a tune, looking like it was in a good mood.

This is how the world is: some are happy, while others are sad.

Cao Meiqin woke up with a splitting headache. Her whole body felt as if it had been run over by a train, aching and in pieces, with not a single good part left.

She struggled to sit up. When Cao Meiqin opened her eyes, she realized she didn’t recognize the person in front of her.

Cao Meiqin’s drowsiness vanished almost completely. When she saw everything clearly, she screamed in horror, covering her head.

Her scream woke up the man who was hugging Zhu Kaikuo. He had thought the person in his arms was a plump, beautiful woman, and that the absurdity of the night before was a romantic encounter. But he realized that the person in his arms wasn’t a woman at all, but a fat, balding man with a big head. The person behind him was a woman, but she was too old. No matter how desperate he was, he would never let himself be with someone like that. Every woman he had spent the night with was beautiful. This unexpected turn of events made the man break down and vomit on the floor.

He had come to have a secret meeting with his mistress today. Both of them had their own families, but they both had souls that disliked loneliness, so they were having an affair, just for the thrill of it.

This man was Zhao Wei’an. While retching, he called his assistant. He couldn’t stand the sight of this mess for another second; it was disgusting!

He had a sturdy, well-maintained physique, otherwise, he wouldn’t have so many mistresses. So, Zhao Wei’an grabbed the still-groggy Zhu Kaikuo from the bed, dragged him into the bathroom, and held him down in the bathtub. Zhu Kaikuo, who hadn’t been fully awake, instantly sobered up. He struggled to get away from Zhao Wei’an, but he couldn’t resist and could only endure the suffocating torment and Zhao Wei’an’s insults.

Over there, Cao Meiqin stumbled over. She cried and screamed, hitting Zhao Wei’an, and cursing, “Are you trying to kill him! Let him go now!”

Zhao Wei’an’s face turned fierce. He raised his hand and slapped Cao Meiqin, saying, “Get out of the way. I never hit women, but you two have really pissed me off this time. I’ve never fooled around with a man, damn it. I’ve had a smooth life, so why am I falling into the hands of you two? Speak! Who sent you? Are you trying to take my money and my life!”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Had he unknowingly fallen into someone’s trap? It was very likely he had been drugged, which led him to lose his senses. Otherwise, how could he have taken an interest in these two ugly people, especially the one who was an old man?

He spat in disgust. Cao Meiqin, holding her head, cried out, “We don’t know you! Why are you accusing us? This is my husband’s and my room! I haven’t even asked you how you broke in! Let my husband go, please!”

Of course, Zhao Wei’an wasn’t going to kill Zhu Kaikuo. He snorted and dragged him out of the bathtub, throwing him next to Cao Meiqin. He then stepped forward and kicked Zhu Kaikuo in the chest, forcing a mouthful of blood to spray onto the floor.

His eyebrows were dark and sinister, and he said angrily, “This is my room, 9005! What nonsense about it being your room! Tell me, who sent you!”

Cao Meiqin’s eyes widened in disbelief. She stammered, “This isn’t 9007?”

Zhao Wei’an dragged Cao Meiqin, as if she were a dead dog, to see the room number on the door. At this point, she finally gave up hope and muttered to herself, “Did we go to the wrong room? No, that’s not right. How could we have opened the door if we went to the wrong room? It must be the room card! It has to be!”

Zhao Wei’an sneered, wanting to see what excuse this old woman would come up with to escape. However, although the woman was a bit old, her face was still decent. If she were a few years younger, he might have taken her in.

He was instantly overcome with lust, completely unaware that danger was about to strike.

“Zhao Wei’an! You deserve to die!”

The woman’s sharp voice was very piercing. Zhao Wei’an’s fierce expression instantly vanished. He turned his head and saw his wife, Meng Yanyan, standing not far away.

His mind went blank. He saw Meng Yanyan rush over and slap him. The aura around her was so powerful that anyone who stood in her way would be killed. So Zhao Wei’an subconsciously let go, giving Meng Yanyan a chance to open the door. Soon, Meng Yanyan saw Zhu Kaikuo crawling out, begging for help. When she saw the naked Zhu Kaikuo and then looked back at Zhao Wei’an, who was only wearing pants, what was there left for her to misunderstand?

“Zhao Wei’an, I want a divorce!”

Ye Yiran, who had wanted to bring her friend to see Tang Xinhai, was also greatly shocked at this moment. She had learned from Chu Chengwen that Tang Xinhai had taken a room card and gone to rest. Seeing Chu Chengwen leave the banquet with his assistant, she didn’t think much of it and continued to discuss marriage matters with her friend.

When it was getting late, Ye Yiran and Meng Yanyan came to see Tang Xinhai, mainly because Tang Xinhai wasn’t answering her phone, and Ye Yiran was worried. Who knew that as soon as they got out of the elevator and walked a few steps, they would hear Zhao Wei’an’s voice? Meng Yanyan’s anger completely erupted.

Ye Yiran tried to comfort Meng Yanyan, saying, “Yanyan, calm down. I’ll help you with the divorce. Think about your daughter. Don’t get angry, don’t get upset.”

Meng Yanyan wasn’t in good health, which was why Ye Yiran was comforting her.

Zhao Wei’an wiped his face and said helplessly, “Yanyan, this really has nothing to do with me. I’m the victim here!”

Meng Yanyan ignored him, walked over, grabbed Cao Meiqin’s face, and looked at her. The sight shocked her. She asked in disbelief, “Cao Meiqin? Is that really you? Don’t you two… don’t you two feel disgusted with Zhao Wei’an?”

Zhao Wei’an’s face turned pale, and he also felt he had lost face. He was about to scold Meng Yanyan for not respecting him as her husband when a hoarse voice came from nearby.

Zhuyun was peeking out of the room door, looking at Cao Meiqin and Zhu Kaikuo lying on the floor. She asked with great sympathy, “Dear auntie and uncle, do you need me to call the police for you?”

Cao Meiqin wanted to pop her eyes out. She pointed at Zhuyun with a trembling finger and said, “You… you’re fine!”

Zhuyun didn’t quite understand her words and tilted her head cutely. Her beautiful face was flushed with the lust of spring, turning her from a pure gardenia-like flower into a seductive and enchanting woman.

She said innocently, “What are you talking about, auntie? I don’t understand a single word. I’m perfectly fine, full of life and eating well. But you two, sigh, you look so miserable.”

Cao Meiqin nearly choked on her breath, looking like a dead duck whose neck had been squeezed. Her face was pale and she couldn’t say a word for a long time.

Ye Yiran looked at Zhuyun thoughtfully. Just then, a hand rested on Zhuyun’s shoulder, and Tang Xinhai entered Ye Yiran’s view. She nodded with a smile and said to Zhuyun, “We’re good people, we should call the police first.”

Zhuyun secretly rubbed her leg.

You, a good person?

I think you’re a big pervert! Hmph.
