I Just Want to Spoil and Run Away with the Abused Female Lead [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 40.2

Her first instinct was to send Shi Xingrao away at least then she wouldn’t be reminded of her mistake every time she saw her.

Aside from Shi Xingrao, the only other person in the household was Yang Xiao. When he heard that Shi Xingrao was being sent abroad by Shen Yishu, he could hardly contain his glee.

No matter what had gone wrong with yesterday’s plan, at least it had achieved the result he wanted. He’d heard that Shen Yun wasn’t having an easy time in the Shen Corporation either.

He’d always said that Shen Yishu was just toying with Shi Xingrao. Once Shi Xingrao truly angered Shen Yishu, she’d be discarded like trash.

Seeing Yang Xiao’s expression, Shi Xingrao didn’t even need to look for evidence to know that he had been scheming behind the scenes yesterday.

This time, she had been thoroughly outmaneuvered by Yang Xiao.

But thanks to him, she now knew just how far off the plot had veered.

Before Shi Xingrao got into the car, Yang Xiao seized the last opportunity to taunt her. “Now you know you were just a plaything, right?”

Shi Xingrao had mocked him so many times, always looking down on him with disdain. Now it was his turn.

Shi Xingrao curled her lips. Was Yang Xiao still deluding himself into thinking he could win Shen Yishu’s favor?

Shi Xingrao: “Uncle, you’ve really gone to great lengths to stay in the Shen family. But I must remind you don’t cross Little Auntie these days. She’s in a pretty bad mood lately.”

She slowly blinked, looking nothing like someone who had been kicked out of the Shen family. As Yang Xiao watched her retreating figure, he couldn’t shake the feeling that she seemed relieved to be leaving.

Yang Xiao’s eyes darted around. Could there be some hidden danger in the Shen family that he didn’t know about?

No, Shi Xingrao must be lying to him.

With a spot now open by Shen Yishu’s side, this was the perfect opportunity to get close to her. Shi Xingrao just didn’t want him to seize this chance.

How wicked of Shi Xingrao.

Even as she was leaving, she was still trying to manipulate him. But did she really think he was that stupid? That easy to fool? He wasn’t as dumb as she thought.

Yang Xiao turned back toward the Shen residence in high spirits. What could be more satisfying than knowing Shen Yishu didn’t like Shi Xingrao

Upstairs,

Shen Yishu stood by the window, watching the car carrying Shi Xingrao drive away. Her fingers gripped the windowsill, tightening bit by bit, until the car completely disappeared from her sight. Only then did she abruptly release her hold on the windowsill.

She had long decided to send Shi Xingrao away, but now, watching her leave, Shen Yishu found it impossible to remain completely calm.

Shen Yishu had asked herself over and over again: if Shi Xingrao had given her a different answer yesterday, would she still have sent her away?

After countless repetitions, the final answer remained the same she wouldn’t have sent Shi Xingrao away. She would have kept her.

Even if she didn’t want to admit it, the voice in her heart urged her to keep Shi Xingrao. Just hearing Shi Xingrao call her “little aunt” and say she didn’t want to leave might have been enough to sway her.

Ever since she saw Shi Xingrao almost kissing someone else yesterday, Shen Yishu could no longer ignore her own heart.

It wasn’t until she arrived in State A that Shi Xingrao realized Shen Yishu must have planned to send her abroad long ago. Not only had she arranged a place for her to live, but she had also handled her school enrollment.

Why send her abroad? Because she misunderstood Shi Xingrao’s feelings for her and decided to send her away. That also explained why Shen Yishu had been avoiding her before she wanted Shi Xingrao to let go of any inappropriate feelings and sever the emotional ties between them.

But now that she knew Shi Xingrao didn’t like her, why did Shen Yishu still send her abroad?

She couldn’t help but feel that Shen Yishu was a little embarrassed and angry. So, did Shen Yishu want her to like her or not?

Shen Yishu was truly the most contradictory person she had ever met.

Still, being sent abroad by Shen Yishu was actually a blessing in disguise for her current situation. She really didn’t know how to face Shen Yishu or Shen Yun now.

Compared to Shi Xingrao’s sense of relief after a narrow escape, Cat Ears was nearly going insane. “Rao Jie, Rao Jie, we’ve really messed up this time! It seems like we’re truly done for. What do we do now?”

Being so far away from the main characters, it had no idea how to proceed with the remaining tasks. It was simply impossible!

“If only you had said you liked Shen Yishu yesterday. If you had, she definitely wouldn’t have sent you away.”

Shi Xingrao lay curled up on the bed like a salted fish roll, casually brushing off Cat Ears. “If we can’t do it, then we can’t. It’s not necessary, it’s not interesting. Let it be, whatever happens, happens.”

“Whoever wants to do this task can do it. I’m not doing it anymore.”

Cat Ears: “…”

Alright, alright. Shen Yishu and Shen Yun had really pushed her sister into an emotional slump, she wasn’t even willing to do the tasks anymore.

“Duoduo, give me a break. You take a break too. Be good.”

In the Main God’s space,

Countless streams of data converged toward one point. At the center of the data streams, that cold and stunning face could no longer maintain its calm composure. The woman slowly walked toward the image formed by the data streams.

In the image, Shi Xingrao turned over and mumbled to Cat Ears that she had a nightmare she dreamed of kissing Yu Chen.

The Main God, who controlled the entire Quick Transmigration Bureau, was so angry her eyes turned red. So, Shi Xingrao didn’t remember their kiss at all. She even found the idea of kissing her unbearable.

That wasn’t what she said when she kissed her. And it wasn’t like this when she called her “sister” and coaxed her into doing it.

Heartless woman.

Heartless fox.

Heartless little scoundrel of a cat.

“Main God, please don’t be angry,” a green fluorescent data stream circled around the central white light source. Upon closer inspection, the white light source was actually a giant cat. “Miss Shi just doesn’t know yet everything you’ve done for her.”

Yu Chen, who had been so furious moments ago, now felt nothing but desolation as she calmed down. The icy beauty’s brows and eyes were tinged with sorrow, her fragile appearance seeming on the verge of shattering.

“I thought, at the very least, she remembered that we kissed, and that she liked me even a little.”

“It seems I overestimated my importance in her heart.”

“I haven’t done much for her. On the contrary, haven’t you noticed that since Ráo Ráo completed a quick-transmigration world, the Quick-Transmigration Bureau’s performance has improved significantly?”

Yu Chen was usually calm and rational, capable of handling everything with precision. Even with tens of thousands of small worlds in the Quick-Transmigration Bureau, she could balance them all. No matter what happened, she always approached the bureau’s affairs with unwavering logic.

The giant cat was seeing Yu Chen so dejected for the first time.

“Now she doesn’t even want to continue with her missions.”

The giant cat let out a soft meow, calling out “Chief God.” It wanted to tell Yu Chen that she had already done enough, that she had given Miss Shi the best of everything she could.

But the words wouldn’t come. Matters of the heart were always a two-way street; no amount of effort could guarantee results.

Yu Chen: “Enough, I understand. You don’t need to comfort me.”

“Ráo Ráo will continue with her future missions. Prepare to review her application to access the Chief God’s space.”

Giant Cat: “Yes, Chief God.”

There was no need to worry. If her Chief God said so, it meant she had already thought through her next strategy and how to nurture their relationship moving forward.

Effort might not always yield results, but the Chief God’s efforts were bound to succeed. Her Chief God was omnipotent, and besides, Miss Shi liked the Chief God’s fragments. Since the fragments were part of the Chief God, it was safe to say that Miss Shi liked the Chief God herself.

Friend 1: “Seriously, Shen Yishu, didn’t you say you didn’t like that girl? Now that she’s gone, why are you dragging us here to drown your sorrows with you?”

The aloof beauty shot a sharp glance at her friend, clearly displeased, as if to say, “Not a single word you’ve said is what I want to hear.”

Friend 1: “…”

Shen Yishu was the epitome of taking out her frustrations on those closest to her. She was the one who’d stubbornly denied her feelings in the first place, and now that she’d personally sent the girl abroad, she was here throwing a drunken tantrum and glaring at her friend.

Friend 1: “Just tell me the truth do you like that girl or not?”

The one who’d been so defiant moments ago now clammed up, saying nothing and just pulling her friend to clink glasses.

Friend 1: “…”

Shen Yishu must be the reincarnation of a clam would admitting she liked someone really kill her?

“I asked you to come drink with me,” Shen Yishu grumbled, shooting her friend a dissatisfied look as if criticizing her lack of tact. “Not to pick at my wounds.”

Friend 1 had no choice but to indulge her, sighing inwardly as she raised her glass. “Fine, fine, if you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t. I’ll drink with you, and once we’re done, you should stop dwelling on it.”

But no sooner had Friend 1 spoken than Shen Yishu objected, “I can’t help but think about her. Even at work, I feel like I can hear her calling me ‘Auntie.'”

Friend 1: “…”

Shen Yishu was born to be contrary. When urged to speak, she stayed silent; when told to drop it, she started talking.

How did she ever end up friends with such a frustrating person?

“I do have a bit of a fondness for Xiaorao. Before, she used to avoid me whenever she saw me, but ever since that night, she’s been calling me ‘Auntie’ every day, and I’ve gotten used to it.”

“I kind of regret not being nicer to her earlier. If I had treated her better sooner, she probably wouldn’t have ended up liking someone else.”

“Like? Tell me, who could possibly be worthy of her? Jumping into a relationship so recklessly, it’s truly unsettling. What if she gets hurt by someone in the future?”

Friend 1: “…”

The girl is already eighteen, how is that “early love”?

“Do you really like Shi Xingrao that much?”

Shen Yishu, slightly drunk, softened her gaze at the mention of Shi Xingrao’s name. “A little bit no, I do like her. Actually, it’s more than just liking, I really like her.”

“I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I just can’t help liking her.”

It was as if her heart was destined to beat for Shi Xingrao.

Seeing Shen Yishu like this, Friend 1 felt as though she had missed out on a fortune by not recording her words. She should have recorded it so that when Shen Yishu and Shi Xingrao got together, she could play it back and embarrass Shen Yishu thoroughly.

Who would have thought that the usually aloof and composed Shen Yishu would act like this when drunk more pitiful than anyone else.

“Do you want to see her?” Friend 1 continued.

Shen Yishu thought for a moment, then nodded.

Friend 1: “Then go see her.”

The next morning, Shen Yishu woke up with a splitting headache.

She had drunk before, but never like yesterday.

Memories of the previous night’s drunkenness flooded back, making her head ache even more. She regretted drinking alcohol made her say things she shouldn’t and unable to hide her longing for someone.

Why should she go looking for Shi Xingrao? She had already given Shi Xingrao a chance to stay, it was Shi Xingrao who chose to leave.

Shi Xingrao didn’t like her, didn’t even have any feelings for her. When Shi Xingrao left, she didn’t even look back. She had no attachment to this place, let alone any lingering affection for Shen Yishu.

So heartless.

Since Shi Xingrao was this cold, why should Shen Yishu chase after her? Was she some kind of desperate fool?

She wouldn’t care about Shi Xingrao. Even if Shi Xingrao starved outside, she wouldn’t spare her a glance.

Arriving at the office,

Shen Yishu made a call. “How has she been lately?”

Aunt Chen didn’t know what conflict had arisen between Shen Yishu and Shi Xingrao, leading to Shi Xingrao being sent away, but she knew Shen Yishu still cared. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been asked to accompany Shi Xingrao and look after her.

“She eats every day, but she doesn’t leave her room or go to school. She locks herself in, I wouldn’t say she’s doing well.”

“Miss Shen, if there’s some misunderstanding between you and Raorao, why not talk it out as a family.” Aunt Chen had been worried about Shi Xingrao’s state lately and spoke without thinking, only realizing she had overstepped before quickly stopping herself.

Shen Yishu frowned in displeasure. Not leaving her room?

Was Shi Xingrao throwing a tantrum, expressing her dissatisfaction?

But Shen Yishu quickly suppressed her frustration and spoke calmly and restrained, “Did she say anything else? Like.”

Like wanting to come home, like missing.
