I Just Want to be a Throwaway Character - Chapter 109

Chapter 109

“Wuyan, when are you coming back?”

Ji Wan was lying on the bed with her phone.

She looked eagerly at Wuyan, who was handling business on the other side of the video call.

She dangled her slender, fair little legs and asked.

Ji Wan’s eyes were full of longing.

She was like a clingy little cat that couldn’t be separated from its owner for even a quarter of an hour.

Although Wuyan had only been away from her for less than half a day and had just gotten off the plane.

But Ji Wan missed her.

“Do you miss me?”

Wuyan looked up at the eager little cat on the other side of the video. A look of affection flashed in her eyes.

“Yes.” Ji Wan nodded her head vigorously in response.

Listening to Ji Wan’s answer, Wuyan’s lips couldn’t help but curl into a slight smile. Her heart softened.

After Ji Wan finished nodding, she kept staring at Wuyan’s beautiful face. Her lips were slightly parted, and then quickly closed.

Her expression was extremely conflicted.

“Is there something you want to tell me?” Seeing that Ji Wan was holding back something, Wuyan exposed her with a smile.

“Tomorrow night is my new book launch.” Ji Wan looked at Wuyan with anticipation.

“Mmm, let me check the time. It might conflict with a meeting. The fastest I can get back is probably in two or three days.”

Wuyan lowered her head again and looked at the documents in her hand, saying faintly.

“Oh, okay. Well, I won’t bother you anymore. You have to finish your work and come back soon.”

Ji Wan tried her best to give Wuyan a big smile.

But a hint of disappointment was still in her eyes.

But she also knew that Wuyan was very busy, and it was normal for her to not be able to come back right away.

“Okay.” Wuyan looked at Ji Wan’s slightly wronged little face.

She lightly touched Ji Wan’s forehead through the screen. “Wait for me to come back.”

After Ji Wan hung up the phone, Wuyan gently put down the documents.

She looked at the phone in her hand quietly for a while.

She thought of the wronged little cat from just now.

She slid her phone’s contact list and called her assistant, who was working outside, and instructed him faintly.

“Help me gather all the local managers for a temporary meeting.

And also, help me book the fastest flight back for this afternoon.”

Although the assistant was surprised why his boss would go back shortly after getting off the plane at the branch office.

He still silently nodded and did as he was told.

After all, being able to build such a large business empire and turn Company X into a world-class company in just one year.

His boss was definitely not an ordinary person. She must be rushing back for the company’s benefit.

After Ji Wan hung up the phone.

She unhappily threw her phone on the bed.

She heavily buried her small face into the pillow that had become her hug pillow after Wuyan left.

Ji Wan took a deep breath of the scent of the pillow with Wuyan’s scent.

There was still Wuyan’s faint fragrance on it.

But it was still not enough.

Ji Wan tightened her grip on the pillow.

She still missed Wuyan so much.

Although it was not the first time they had been separated for so long, that feeling of an itch in her heart.

It was just unbearable for Ji Wan.

New book launch.

Countless book fans and reporters gathered in front of the stage, waiting for the protagonist of the night.

Ji Wan, who had been on the top of the bestseller list for three consecutive years.

When a corner of the curtain on one side of the stage was pulled back.

Everyone present instantly became quiet and held their breath.

Their eyes were fixed on the curtain, eagerly waiting for Ji Wan’s appearance.

The first thing that came into view was a small and exquisite silver high-heeled shoe with diamonds.

The sharp-eyed audience quickly found out in surprise.

That was a unique high-heeled shoe designed by the chief French designer, Mr. Fak.

Mr. Fak had a genius-like reclusive personality.

He would not easily sell his design works.

So this pair of shoes was a big deal. You couldn’t buy it just with money.

But the audience’s attention quickly shifted.

Soon, as a fair little leg stepped out.

Next was a graceful and simple white knee-length skirt, followed by Ji Wan’s slender and graceful figure and her delicate small chin.

Finally, her pure and lovely face that made people want to protect her was revealed.

“Aah, aah, Wanwan, look at me, your mom!!”

“Wanwan, I love the characters you created.”

“Wanwan, look at me, I love you!!”

“Wanwan, you’re so beautiful!”

…

The fans shouted excitedly. The shouts came one after another, as if they wanted to lift the ceiling.

The atmosphere was like a new year’s celebration. It was extremely lively.

Ji Wan was not only not frightened by these sudden shouts.

Instead, a gentle smile appeared on her face towards the fans.

She was dazzling and radiant.

Ji Wan enthusiastically waved at them.

This immediately caused even louder screams.

However, it was not just the fans who were restless.

The reporters, who had different interview angles but the same goal, also became excited.

They all swarmed forward, rushing to be the first.

Because there was too much “explosive news” behind Ji Wan that they wanted to dig out.

But once they dug deeper, they would be blocked by a mysterious force.

So, an opportunity like this to openly dig for news was not easy to find.

Ji Wan had just taken her seat.

Countless cameras came up.

Soon, the special interview began.

Reporter A: “Miss Ji Wan, can you tell us the secret to your continuous bestsellers?”

Ji Wan: “It’s probably about writing about the people and things you love. Before, I liked to follow trends and the crowd. If I can’t write what I love, how can I make others like it?”

Reporter B: “Miss Ji Wan, can you tell us what the next book will be about?”

Ji Wan: “The next book? It might be a complex world, but I haven’t finished conceptualizing it yet.”

Reporter C: “Miss Ji Wan, what are your thoughts on your new book getting a comic adaptation and an upcoming animated adaptation?”

Ji Wan: “Mmm, I’m very happy to let more people know the characters I created.”

Reporter D: “Miss Ji Wan, as far as I know, your early novels were mainly about romance. Why did you start leaning towards yuri creation later? Is the change in writing style related to your life experiences?”

Ji Wan: “Uh, it… it’s not unrelated to my life. The later creations actually represent a trend, don’t they? And I’m just standing in this whirlwind.”

Reporter E: “Miss Ji Wan, I heard that you are married. Is your partner the mysterious behind-the-scenes president of Company X?”

Ji Wan: “Well, that’s a secret.”

…

The reporters rushed to interview her, afraid that they wouldn’t get a chance.

Ji Wan smiled gently at them.

“Don’t worry, I’ll try my best to answer you one by one.”

After finally finishing the reporter’s interview, Ji Wan was just about to happily go back and video call her wife to complain about today’s interview and ask for a hug.

To soothe her brain cells that were exhausted from so many tricky questions.

It was too tiring for her to give so many official answers.

She couldn’t really show the ring on her hand and tell them that her wife was the president of Company X.

Then she would definitely be on the trending search tomorrow…

She had already thought of the title—The Three Things That the Business Tycoon and Her Little Wifey Have to Talk About.

Thinking of Wuyan’s beautiful and high-class face paired with this classic-sounding title.

Ji Wan felt that something was weird about this combination.

Ji Wan shook her head and was about to leave.

But after the reporters left.

A large number of book fans came up with their newly released books.

They all looked at Ji Wan with hot eyes that were as dazzling as the sun.

They hoped to get her signature.

“…”

Ji Wan, who was about to go home, thought to herself—What else can I do? At worst, I’ll have a numb hand and have Wuyan massage it for me.

Finally, Ji Wan signed the last person’s book.

The venue was basically empty by more than half.

The sky was also dark, and a bright full moon hung high.

The end of summer still carried a hint of the coldness of autumn.

Ji Wan gently rubbed her sore arm.

She felt a little tired. She dragged her feet, which were hurting from wearing high heels for a long time, and walked towards the garage outside.

She finally found the car that Wuyan had sent a driver to pick her up in.

But what was strange was that the driver had not turned on the car lights.

The car was a little dark.

Ji Wan didn’t think much of it. She gently opened the back car door and got in.

However, before Ji Wan could sit down, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from the darkness.

They gently wrapped around Ji Wan and affectionately sniffed and rubbed her neck.

Feeling the warmth on her neck.

Ji Wan’s whole body stiffened. She was about to flee in fear from the person behind her.

But the scent on her nose and her body’s familiar reaction.

Made Ji Wan instantly react.

“What, I’ve only been gone for one night, and my wife doesn’t recognize me anymore?”

Ji Wan’s familiar, teasing voice came from the quiet air.

Soon, the person behind her turned on the car lights, slowly revealing her exquisite profile.

“Wuyan!” After seeing who it was, Ji Wan’s face showed surprise.

She turned around excitedly and threw herself into Wuyan’s arms.

“Honey, you’re back!” Ji Wan said softly and coquettishly.

She buried herself in Wuyan’s arms and smelled her familiar fragrance.

Ji Wan couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Wuyan was still wearing the simple and elegant suit she had worn for the meeting in the morning.

Her slightly curly long hair was draped over her slender back.

A pair of gold-rimmed glasses were on her tall nose.

The buttons were neatly buttoned one by one, making her look ascetic and charming.

Just this morning, she could only video call her busy wife, who was in another country for a meeting and couldn’t come back for a while.

She had originally thought that Wuyan wouldn’t be able to come back today for the time being.

But she suddenly appeared.

It was a lie to say she didn’t miss Wuyan. Ji Wan couldn’t help but hug Wuyan and not let go.

Wuyan gently lifted Ji Wan onto her lap.

She gently rubbed Ji Wan’s soft hair and lightly kissed her forehead.

She showed a doting, slight smile to Ji Wan.

“Are you tired?” Wuyan asked, looking at Ji Wan’s tired appearance with a hint of heartache.

“Mmm, I’m a little tired. They were too enthusiastic today. I feel sore all over.”

Ji Wan leaned on Wuyan’s shoulder. She was clearly very sleepy.

But she still didn’t want to close her eyes and looked at Wuyan’s beautiful profile.

“Then let’s go back. You can sleep for a while.”

Wuyan gently put Ji Wan down and took off her suit jacket and draped it over Ji Wan.

“Mmm, no. Stay with me for a while. Hug me again.” Ji Wan leaned on the side of Wuyan’s neck, coquettishly holding her neck and not letting go.

She wouldn’t let Wuyan drive.

“Why are you so good at acting spoiled, huh?” Wuyan raised her hand and gently pinched Ji Wan’s soft cheek.

“Mmm, you’re not allowed to dislike me.” Ji Wan lightly bit Wuyan’s beautiful chin like she was in a little fit of temper.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Wuyan gently kissed the corner of Ji Wan’s lips and agreed.

Her hands also obediently pulled Ji Wan back into her arms.

Her eyes were full of gentleness.

Then, the assistant, who had just finished his day’s work and was about to take a shower and go to bed at night.

Received a message from his president.

A location and two simple words, “Come here.”

He rushed over in a hurry, thinking it was something big, and only had time to put on a random shirt.

But he saw his president holding his wife, who had fallen asleep on her, and faintly looked at him.

She gestured for him to be quiet and drive the car…

What the hell? Do single people not have human rights? He had to watch this at night.

But when he saw the transfer on his phone.

The assistant instantly became full of life.

He wanted more of this kind of work. He loved dog food!!!

The dog food was too delicious!!!
