I Just Want to be a Throwaway Character - Chapter 102

Chapter 102

System 111 suddenly felt that its host had a misunderstanding about her own character.

Otherwise, how could she say such shocking nonsense?

Just thinking about its host, with her small body, bouncing up to the female lead and shouting, “I want to marry you!”

The thought alone was thrilling.

“Xiao 1, why aren’t you talking?

If I marry Huangfu Yue, I can just find some excuse to give her the throne.

She’ll be part of the Ji family anyway, so my father shouldn’t say anything.”

Seeing that System 111 hadn’t said anything for a while, Ji Wan thought it was helping her consider the feasibility of her plan, so she just blurted out her thoughts.

“Uh, host, aren’t you afraid the female lead will overthink it?” System 111 kindly reminded her.

“You’re right. After all, we’re supposed to be good sisters. If we suddenly have a marriage, it would seem a bit strange.”

Ji Wan couldn’t help but feel conflicted, not knowing what to do.

And Ji Wan’s mind couldn’t help but fantasize about Huangfu Yue in a big red wedding dress.

A beautiful woman, captivating and charming.

It must be so beautiful.

As Ji Wan thought, her consciousness drifted, and her face started to get hot.

Especially when she thought about the possibility of marrying the female lead.

Her face felt flushed, and a sense of shame washed over her.

But what if the female lead only saw her as a sister? If they suddenly got married, the female lead might get angry with her.

It would be better to just give the throne directly to Huangfu Yue. It was too much trouble.

As Ji Wan thought, her expression couldn’t help but wrinkle, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed in annoyance.

“What’s wrong? What are you thinking about, so lost in thought?”

Huangfu Yue noticed Ji Wan’s quietness.

She turned around and stopped walking.

She watched as Ji Wan was obediently pulled along by her.

She didn’t react to her stopping and walked straight into her arms.

It was a little amusing.

“Mmm.” Ji Wan plunged into Huangfu Yue’s soft arms.

She let out a muffled groan.

She hadn’t had time to react.

She looked up with a strange expression at Huangfu Yue’s face, which was full of a gentle smile.

Her eyes were wide with confusion, making her look incredibly cute.

“Yue?” Ji Wan’s moist, almond-shaped eyes widened in confusion as she called out to Huangfu Yue.

She hadn’t figured out why Huangfu Yue had suddenly stopped.

“Why are you so spacey today? We’re home.” Huangfu Yue’s voice had a teasing tone.

Her hand involuntarily pinched Ji Wan’s soft cheek.

The soft, plump touch made her not want to let go.

“Mmm, Yue. Don’t pinch my face.” Ji Wan’s little hands on both sides grabbed Huangfu Yue’s mischievous hand. Her little face was puffed out as she spoke incoherently.

Her voice unconsciously became soft and娇.

Seriously, lately Huangfu Yue liked to touch her so much.

Whether it was rubbing her head or pinching her cheeks, did she look that easy to “bully”?

“Okay, it’s cold outside. Let’s go in, okay?” Huangfu Yue’s voice was doting. She gently let go of her hand after hearing Ji Wan’s words.

But this hand then grabbed Ji Wan’s palm again, tightly wrapping it.

Slowly passing on warmth.

When Ji Wan returned to the princess’s residence.

“Wan’er.” Ji Yuanhan’s voice rang out.

Ji Wan was pleasantly surprised to see her father and mother sitting in the center of the main hall.

She couldn’t help but happily break free from Huangfu Yue’s hand and run to her mother.

“Mother, you’re here.” Ji Wan obediently hugged her mother and acted spoiled.

She didn’t notice the complex look that flashed in Ji Yuanhan’s eyes when he saw Huangfu Yue and Ji Wan holding hands.

Although he couldn’t say that his cabbage had been taken by a pig.

The complexity of his mood was no less than that…

Sigh, never mind.

As long as Wan’er was happy.

“Alright. Did that child Hao’er leave?” The empress touched Ji Wan’s soft hair and looked at her lovingly.

“Yes, Brother left. He even gave me his jade pendant when he left.”

Ji Wan nodded and took out the jade pendant from her arms, handing it to the empress.

“This is a token of your brother’s feelings. You should keep it.”

The empress looked at the jade pendant with a complicated expression and sighed softly.

After all, Ji Minghao had also grown up under her care.

“By the way, Mother, why did you and Father come to see me today?”

Ji Wan was afraid that the empress would feel sad about Ji Minghao, so she intentionally asked another question to distract her.

“Cough… Let’s eat first. We’ll talk after we eat.”

Ji Yuanhan coughed lightly and glanced elsewhere, his voice inexplicably carrying a hint of guilt.

“Father, are you hiding something from me again?” Ji Wan saw Ji Yuanhan’s posture.

She immediately remembered the blind date banquet.

Ji Yuanhan’s expression then was similar to now.

Seeing his daughter’s suspicious eyes.

Ji Yuanhan felt his heart take a blow.

His good daughter didn’t trust him anymore…

He instantly wanted to squat down and draw circles on the ground.

“Let’s go. Call Yue’er too. Let’s eat together.” The empress’s eyes held a smile. She looked helplessly at Ji Yuanhan, who had become a little introverted.

At a round table.

Ji Wan and Huangfu Yue sat across from Ji Yuanhan and the empress.

It was a beautiful scene of a family having a warm meal together.

However, Ji Wan couldn’t hold back her curiosity.

“Father, what… mmm… what did you want to say?” Ji Wan said vaguely, chewing on the shrimp that Huangfu Yue had peeled for her.

Ji Yuanhan’s hand, which was holding a piece of food, paused, and his eyes froze for a moment.

He couldn’t help but withdraw his chopsticks and looked at his empress.

“Alright.

Wan’er, your father and I are getting old. We plan to give the throne to you.

Then we’ll travel to the beautiful Jiangnan region with its misty rain and picturesque scenery.

And feel the beauty of the lone smoke in the vast deserts outside the Great Wall.

So, before we leave, we want to see you get married so we can rest assured.”

Ji Wan’s thoughts when she heard the first part:

“Just traveling? How wonderful.”

In the middle:

“Inheriting the throne? As expected.”

At the end:

“Getting married? It seems… Wait!! Getting married??”

“Uh, Mother, isn’t this… isn’t this too soon?”

Although she had boldly said she would marry Huangfu Yue just now, when she was actually being urged to get married, Ji Wan’s courage disappeared.

“You’ve reached the age to be married. The court officials have urged me countless times.

It’s time for you to settle down with someone.

Or do you have someone in mind?”

As he spoke, Ji Yuanhan glanced at Huangfu Yue, who was silently peeling shrimp on the side without saying a word.

That inexplicable anger and powerlessness came out again.

Anyone whose daughter was taken by someone would feel the same way as him.

But Huangfu Yue’s expression was indifferent. She let Ji Yuanhan look at her, and she smoothly placed a peeled shrimp into Ji Wan’s mouth.

It was as if she wasn’t at all worried about him marrying his daughter to someone else.

“Mmm, let me think about it. I’ll tell you later.”

Ji Wan agreed readily.

Although she didn’t answer directly, it gave them a shot of confidence.

It made the old father who was about to give more marriage advice get his words stuck in his throat.

That night, in Ji Wan’s room.

Huangfu Yue was making the bed for Ji Wan in her room.

Ji Wan had originally planned to refuse because Huangfu Yue was a very noble female lead, wasn’t she?

And Huangfu Yue had taken care of her daily life, which would make her dependent on her.

But Huangfu Yue’s simple words, which sounded like fallacies but were irrefutable, made Ji Wan unable to resist.

After all, IQ was also a major flaw, especially in front of the female lead…

Since she couldn’t out-argue Huangfu Yue, Ji Wan let her be.

And Huangfu Yue had her own selfish reasons.

She wanted everything about Ji Wan to be done by her hands.

She didn’t want Ji Wan’s body to be tainted with the scent of anyone other than her.

She also wanted to make Ji Wan completely unable to leave her, and only want to stay by her side.

And Ji Wan was completely unaware of Huangfu Yue’s thoughts. She naively thought that the female lead was a great person and that she had to find a chance to compensate her.

She couldn’t just let her do all the work. Wouldn’t that make her a wicked capitalist?

Ji Wan, who was bored, was wearing a single garment for sleeping.

She sat on the soft couch, propping her chin on her hands and quietly watching Huangfu Yue make her bed.

She didn’t know what she was thinking.

There was underfloor heating in the room, so even though it was snowing heavily outside, it was incredibly warm inside.

So there was no need to worry about Ji Wan catching a cold.

Ji Wan seemed calm on the outside, but she was having a brainstorming session in her mind.

Although she had readily agreed during the day, how was she going to bring it up to Huangfu Yue?

Ji Wan felt her head was going bald.

Although her father had directly made her certain idea a reality.

But it was so sudden that it made her very confused.

She couldn’t just be like a domineering CEO in a novel, corner Huangfu Yue against the wall and say, “Woman, I’ve fallen for you. Marry me.”

Just thinking about that shameless line, Ji Wan felt goosebumps all over her body.

“Host, go for it!” System 111, seeing its host struggling for a long time, couldn’t hold back and encouraged her.

“You do it if you can.” Thinking about what to say to Huangfu Yue, Ji Wan’s face couldn’t help but blush.

She didn’t know if it was because of the warm underfloor heating.

She didn’t know how long she had struggled, but in the end, Ji Wan made up her mind and walked toward Huangfu Yue.

She slowly approached Huangfu Yue, who had her back to her. She was about to pull on Huangfu Yue’s sleeve to call her.

But before Ji Wan could get close.

Huangfu Yue seemed to know something. She suddenly straightened her body and turned to look at Ji Wan.

“You… you scared me.” Ji Wan patted her chest, her heart still pounding.

It was too scary.

She finally calmed down.

Ji Wan looked at Huangfu Yue’s calm expression and couldn’t help but swallow.

“That… Yue, can… can I… with you… uh. Get married?” Ji Wan felt her tongue was tied, and she stuttered.

Her words were no longer smooth.

After she finally finished speaking, the room was silent.

Huangfu Yue’s eyes twinkled with gentleness. She just quietly looked at Ji Wan’s blushing face.

“Oh? Get married. Are you proposing to me?”

Huangfu Yue suppressed her joy and deliberately slowed down her speech, her voice unconsciously becoming seductive.

“Uh, well… that. Yue.

I… I’m just afraid that Father will arrange a marriage for me with someone else.

Don’t worry, it’s just a contract marriage. I won’t do anything to you.

Really. We’re still good sisters. You have to believe me.” Worried that Huangfu Yue would be unhappy, Ji Wan’s explanation became frantic.

But after hearing her explanation, Huangfu Yue was not happy. The slight smile on her face slowly turned cold.

“Sisters?” Huangfu Yue’s voice was icy.

Her expression toward Ji Wan also gradually deepened.

Had she been too subtle in her actions? Was that why Ji Wan thought their relationship was just that of sisters?

Heh, it seemed waiting for Ji Wan to figure things out on her own was probably not going to happen.

She needed some stimulation.

“Yue?”

Ji Wan suddenly felt the temperature in the room drop sharply.

She couldn’t help but shiver and looked strangely at Huangfu Yue, whose expression was a little off.

Looking into Huangfu Yue’s deep, dark eyes.

Ji Wan took two steps back in fear.
