I Just Want to be a Throwaway Character - Chapter 70

Chapter 70

When Lu Fanghan woke up in bed, the girl’s figure was already gone from the other side. Lu Fanghan slowly sat up, gently rubbing the corner of her brow. It had been a long time since she had slept so well. But every time she fell asleep, it seemed like a special person was there with her. Her insomnia seemed to only be solved when she was with Ji Wan.

Lu Fanghan got ready and walked downstairs to find the girl. But she wasn’t in the flower garden, the living room, or the kitchen. After searching all over, no one else had seen Ji Wan either. Lu Fanghan’s cold and indifferent expression couldn’t help but show a hint of panic. Where did Ji Wan go?

Just then, Old Mr. Lu came downstairs. He walked slowly as if he hadn’t noticed Lu Fanghan’s tense expression, heading outside to the garden to take a walk and enjoy the sun. Lu Fanghan realized that her grandfather might know something. She hurried over, her voice unusually panicked.

“Grandpa, where did Ji Wan go?”

But Old Mr. Lu’s expression was calm. He walked slowly, his tone teasing. “Don’t you dislike Wanwan? Why are you so nervous?”

“Grandpa, you know, don’t you? Please tell me,” Lu Fanghan said, a little anxiously.

“You… you don’t even know what she wants,” Old Mr. Lu said, looking at Lu Fanghan’s anxious state, feeling a little helpless. Everything his granddaughter did was easy, but she didn’t seem to understand how to make someone like her.

“Grandpa, please just tell me directly. Please tell me where Ji Wan went,” Lu Fanghan said, sensing something was wrong.

“She went back to the Ji family’s home,” Old Mr. Lu said casually, looking down at the newly sprouted flowers in the garden.

But Lu Fanghan didn’t reply. When he turned around, she had already rushed out. Sigh, these young people will have to rely on fate. Old Mr. Lu’s expression was unreadable. Remembering Ji Wan’s words from that morning, he couldn’t help but sigh.

Lu Fanghan quickly rushed to Ji Village, 15 kilometers away. It was the place where Ji Wan had grown up and a place Lu Fanghan had never set foot in. Lu Fanghan had never known that there was such a small mountain village outside the Lu family’s territory. This was where the Ji family lived.

Ji Village was very poor, at least before Ji Wan used her schemes to sign the engagement contract with her. Although the scenery here was picturesque, it had always been a poor place. And the current head of the Ji family, Ji Wan’s uncle, was a stingy and greedy person. But it was strange. He had no children of his own but was very generous to Ji Wan. The reason for this made people wonder. Had he already planned for Ji Wan to marry into the Lu family?

And in the back of Ji Village, there was a large grassy area with many unknown flowers. A gentle breeze blew. A girl with a flower crown sat in the middle of a group of children, like a leader of a group of kids.

“Big sister Wanwan, tell us another story about the magic academy. I want to listen,” a girl around eight or nine years old said coquettishly.

“No, I want to know how to use super powerful magic moves,” a five or six-year-old boy said, shaking his head and refusing.

“Big sister Wanwan, A-Hu wants to know what the outside world looks like,” another boy asked curiously.

“Big sister Wanwan…” “Big sister Wanwan…” …

“Okay, okay, I’ll tell you all. One at a time, okay?” Ji Wan smiled gently, patting the little heads of the children next to her.

“Big sister Wanwan, my dad said you married a very powerful person. Is that true?” The youngest one, Xiao Hua, toddled over and sat down by Ji Wan’s crossed legs, asking in a soft voice. At once, the other children were also attracted by this topic.

“My mom said that the person Big sister Wanwan married is a super genius,” A-Hu said proudly, as if he was sharing a big secret.

“No, no. Big sister Wanwan won’t marry her, right? You promised you’d marry me when I grow up,” Xiao Bao said, waving his small fist and pouting in a childish voice.

“Okay, okay, you’re all so worried about my love life.” Ji Wan smiled and poked the little nose of Xiao Hua in her arms.

She was about to start telling them a little story to coax them. Suddenly, footsteps came from the grass behind her. Then, a cold and familiar voice came from behind Ji Wan.

“Your big sister Wanwan will definitely marry that powerful person.”

The abrupt voice made the children look at the handsome stranger curiously. Only Ji Wan, who had her back to Lu Fanghan, stiffened.

She had woken up this morning in Lu Fanghan’s arms, clinging to her like a starfish. Ji Wan had suddenly fled back to Ji Village because she was afraid of seeing Lu Fanghan and the embarrassment. She had planned to spend this holiday here so she wouldn’t have to see Lu Fanghan. But she had only been back for less than two hours when she saw Lu Fanghan again. The problem was, shouldn’t Lu Fanghan be super busy now that she was back with her family? Why was she here? To settle scores?

“Wow, big sister Wanwan. She’s so beautiful.” “Yeah, yeah. Besides big sister Wanwan, she’s the second most beautiful person I’ve ever seen.” “Big sister Wanwan, do you know this pretty big sister?” The children’s attention was completely diverted, and they expressed their thoughts frankly.

Only Ji Wan remained frozen. She didn’t dare to turn around. The feeling of embarrassment spread. Ji Wan felt that it would be great if a hole in the ground would appear right now. At least she wouldn’t have to be in front of Lu Fanghan.

But Ji Wan not turning around didn’t mean that the other person wouldn’t make a move. A gentle smile appeared in Lu Fanghan’s eyes. She walked past the children and sat down calmly next to Ji Wan. She turned her head and looked at Ji Wan’s shy profile and her flushed earlobes. Lu Fanghan’s voice carried a hint of subtle affection.

“Why are you hiding? Are you afraid to look at me? My fiancée.”

“You…” Ji Wan’s face instantly turned bright red. What are you saying in front of the children?! Although it seemed to be true, why did she have to make it sound so ambiguous?! But what made her blush even more were the children’s voices.

“Wow, she’s big sister Wanwan’s fiancée!” “What’s a fiancée?” “Dummy, a fiancée is someone you sleep with.” “Can a fiancée have a baby? Xiao Hua wants a pretty little sister.” “I heard you can have a baby by kissing.” “No, it’s by sleeping.” “…(Innocent childish talk)…”

“Stop, stop, children. It’s time for lunch. Why don’t you all go back now?” Ji Wan was afraid that the children would have more wild ideas, so she quickly told them to go back. But her serious tone, combined with her flushed cheeks, looked incredibly cute to Lu Fanghan.

The children obediently left. But they were still mumbling as they walked away. “I know now. Mom and Dad never let me be there when they were making a little sister for me.”

“…” Ji Wan felt that there were too many things to complain about and didn’t know where to start. Don’t say things as if Lu Fanghan and I are really going to do something!

Ji Wan’s face was so red it was breathtakingly beautiful.

“What? The children are gone. Do you still not dare to look at me? Am I that scary?” Lu Fanghan’s long fingers gently twirled a strand of Ji Wan’s loose hair. Her tone had a unique charm. Feeling the passionate gaze next to her, Ji Wan felt a little awkward.

“No… no.” Ji Wan took a deep breath to calm her inexplicable blushing and shyness. She turned to look at Lu Fanghan but quickly turned back when she met her deep, dark eyes. She still didn’t dare to look. If I’ve committed a crime, please let the law punish me, not make me stay with Lu Fanghan.

But Lu Fanghan just chuckled. She couldn’t help but wrap her arm around Ji Wan’s waist. Before Ji Wan could react, she was pulled into her embrace.

“Ah! You… what are you doing?” Ji Wan was suddenly lifted by a force and fell into someone’s arms. She was forced to sit on Lu Fanghan’s lap, face to face. Ji Wan’s expression was one of shock.

After realizing how strange their position was, Ji Wan struggled to get up. Lu Fanghan felt the softness in her arms and smiled faintly, looking at the little white rabbit trying to break free. She met Ji Wan’s flustered eyes.

“Lu Fanghan, you… you let me go first.” Ji Wan sat awkwardly in Lu Fanghan’s arms, feeling her body temperature slowly transferring through her skin.

“Now I can finally look at you properly, can’t I?” Lu Fanghan’s tone was teasing but also incredibly gentle. Everything about her, from her eyes to her actions, was… weird, as if she were possessed. She wasn’t like this just a few days ago. Ji Wan didn’t understand why Lu Fanghan had become… had become someone who seemed to like her very much.

Wait, like? This must be her imagination. Ji Wan shook her head, dismissing this absurd idea.

Lu Fanghan tightened her arm around Ji Wan’s waist and rested her chin on Ji Wan’s shoulder. “Why did you come back so suddenly without telling me? Do you know how worried I was?” Lu Fanghan’s voice was very soft, but it was close to her ear. Although her voice was still cold, every word sounded like an accusation, with a hint of unintentional fear.

The warm breath lingered in Ji Wan’s ear, making it flush again. She pushed, trying to get away from Lu Fanghan’s whispers in her ear. But Lu Fanghan didn’t let go easily. She held Ji Wan tightly.

“Lu Fanghan, don’t be like this. Can we not be in this position?” Ji Wan requested awkwardly, her face red. It was a good thing no one could see her right now, or she would have really wanted to dig a hole.

But Lu Fanghan just chuckled softly in her ear. A hint of a dark glint appeared in her eyes as the person in her arms moved restlessly. Her voice was low and seductive, with none of its usual coldness. “Why not? You’re my fiancée.”

“Lu… Lu Fanghan, stop it. No one is here. You don’t have to pretend,” Ji Wan said, turning her head away from Lu Fanghan’s ambiguous aura, her voice panicked.

“Do you think I’m pretending?” Lu Fanghan’s expression was calm, but her words made the temperature drop.

Ji Wan couldn’t help but shiver. “We’ll be able to break off the engagement soon. You don’t have to pretend to like me,” Ji Wan said obediently.

What she didn’t know was how wonderful Lu Fanghan’s expression was after she said that.

“Ji Wan,” Lu Fanghan’s voice was filled with a deep intensity. The next second, Ji Wan’s back was suddenly pressed against the grass. Both of her hands were grabbed by Lu Fanghan and pinned to the sides of her head. The position was even weirder.

Ji Wan’s expression was one of shock. What is happening? Why is Lu Fanghan on top of me with a dark expression? What I said shouldn’t have been a problem, right?

Lu Fanghan’s expression became even uglier, seeing the girl’s mind wandering.

“Do you like Luo Jinqian?” Lu Fanghan’s voice was filled with a suppressed intensity.

Oh my god, what does this have to do with Luo Jinqian? But seeing that the situation was not right, Ji Wan shook her head with a strong will to survive. Lu Fanghan suddenly gets jealous out of nowhere? Ji Wan felt that this was incredibly absurd.

If you like her, just say so. Why are you coming to me and asking these weird questions? Am I supposed to help you get her?
