The Beautiful Female Supporting Character is Flirtatious and Amorous [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: The Whole Family Likes Men, Except Me (10)

Would interrupting even help?

Zhang Yulan was caught in a dilemma. Finally, she closed her eyes, steeled her heart, and quietly backed away, pretending she hadn’t seen a thing.

Fine, fine. Regardless of whether Jiang Ni ends up with her son or her daughter, she’ll still be a daughter-in-law of the Meng family. She can’t escape.

Besides, she had enough troubles of her own right now; how could she find the energy to manage the affairs of the younger generation?

Zhang Yulan looked at Jiang Ni, who was leaning closer and closer to Xu Yangyang, with a complicated expression. Then, as if her eyes had been singed by a stray spark, she hurriedly looked away.

Xu Yangyang thought Jiang Ni was acting quite normal—gentle and attentive, in fact.

As the other woman’s cool fingers occasionally brushed against her skin, Xu Yangyang instinctively shrunk her neck, feeling ticklish. Jiang Ni paused her movements and explained apologetically, “It’ll be ready in a second.”

“I just trimmed my nails, so it’s a bit awkward.”

Xu Yangyang replied absentmindedly, “No big deal. Don’t worry, Sister, just take your time.”

Jiang Ni gave a soft chuckle and finally succeeded in fastening the necklace. She leaned forward, holding a desk mirror up for Xu Yangyang with an expectant look. “How is it? Do you like it?”

“I love it.” Xu Yangyang looked left and right. Jiang Ni had good taste; both the previous earrings and today’s necklace suited Xu Yangyang’s temperament perfectly.

A blend of cold detachment with a hint of untamed wildness.

Xu Yangyang touched the gemstone and was about to offer some polite thanks when she noticed Jiang Ni’s mood suddenly darken. The older woman looked at her as if she wanted to say something but held back.

Is she in trouble?

The thought swirled in Xu Yangyang’s mind. She immediately sharpened her focus and asked warmly, “What’s wrong, Sister? Have you been bothered by something lately?”

Jiang Ni hesitated. “…Yes.”

Her hesitant, “wanting to speak but holding back” appearance successfully piqued Xu Yangyang’s interest. Xu Yangyang believed that after such a long time, she and Jiang Ni were already close best friends. Thus, she waved her hand dismissively. “If something’s bothering you, Sister, just tell me. I’ll go through fire and water to solve it for you.”

Jiang Ni smiled, seemingly comforted. “It’s about your brother.”

As soon as she spoke, Xu Yangyang understood. It was likely that Zhang Yulan’s recent matchmaking attempts had made Jiang Ni feel very troubled and distressed, unsure of how to interact or refuse.

Xu Yangyang scoffed. “Don’t mind my mom. She’s just bored. I’ll find something for her to do in a couple of days.”

Despite Xu Yangyang’s words, Jiang Ni’s mood didn’t improve.

Xu Yangyang wasn’t particularly good at comforting people. Seeing this, she felt a bit lost, raising a hand to scratch her forehead as a distraction. “Matters of the heart depend on fate. This isn’t the era of ‘parents’ orders and matchmakers’ words’ anymore.”

“As long as you stand your ground and stay true to yourself, Sister, no one can force you to compromise.”

Jiang Ni nodded gently, then suddenly said, “Even though I don’t feel anything for your brother, I am very happy to have met you, Feifei.”

“If… if your brother and I go our separate ways later, can I still keep spending time with you like this?” Jiang Ni’s tone was inexplicably aggrieved. On impulse, Xu Yangyang answered without thinking: “Of course!”

“I thought we were already good friends.”

Jiang Ni’s expression faltered. Her long, thick eyelashes drooped all at once. Just… good friends?

“Okay.” Jiang Ni didn’t dwell on the matter. On the surface, she adjusted her emotions quickly and returned to her usual gentle and polite self.

Seeing that she was fine, Xu Yangyang felt relieved. She then began to plot how to prevent Jiang Ni from being pulled into the deep quagmire of the Meng family.

It was getting late. After exchanging goodnights with Jiang Ni, Xu Yangyang kept thinking about the problem back in her room.

“System, what do you think…” she suddenly spoke into the darkness. 0357 shuddered and immediately pricked up its ears. “What is it, Host?”

“Would it be better to find a few male college students for Zhang Yulan to distract her, or would it be better to mess with her and Meng Rudeng’s marriage to distract her?”

0357: To be honest, both options are terrible.

“Are there no other ways?”

“There are.” Xu Yangyang nodded, about to explain her third plan, but was quickly cut off by 0357: “Never mind, Host. You don’t need to say more.”

It knew it wasn’t going to hear anything decent from Xu Yangyang’s mouth anyway. It was better to just not listen.

Xu Yangyang was nearly choked by her own unsent words.

Ultimately, she respected 0357’s wishes and dropped the topic, instead sighing sincerely, “Jiang Ni is really quite tragic.”

If Xu Yangyang hadn’t appeared and bluntly exposed Meng Zhichuan’s orientation from the start, would Jiang Ni have been tricked and coaxed into the Meng family without knowing a thing?

Once married and the “rice was cooked,” even if Jiang Ni wanted to cry for justice, she would have nowhere to go.

Xu Yangyang rolled over and sighed, suddenly feeling her own image become tall and noble. “I really am a helpful, selfless, and wonderful person.”

0357: Whatever helps you sleep at night.

With Jiang Ni’s situation on her mind, Xu Yangyang uncharacteristically suffered from insomnia. She tossed and turned until one in the morning, when a very soft knock sounded at the door.

“Who is it?” Xu Yangyang sat up alertly, put on her shoes, and moved inconspicuously toward the door.

“Feifei, are you asleep?” Jiang Ni’s voice came from outside, carrying a hint of bitterness that was hard to detect. “I can’t sleep.”

Xu Yangyang relaxed her guard. “Not yet. Come in, Sister.”

Suspecting nothing, Xu Yangyang innocently let Jiang Ni in.

Jiang Ni sat across from her for a while in silence. Finally, after a long time, she squeezed out a sentence: “Can I sleep with you tonight? It’s okay if it’s inconvenient…”

“Of course you can.” When a best friend is in a bad mood, companionship is a basic duty.

Xu Yangyang cheerfully lifted the blanket. “You sleep on this side, Sister.”

Jiang Ni nodded softly and lay down, keeping her hands and feet to herself. After the lights were out, Xu Yangyang felt a bit awkward sensing the faint warmth and steady breathing of the person beside her.

But Jiang Ni stayed perfectly still, like a wooden statue with a very low presence, so Xu Yangyang didn’t feel right saying anything.

Time flowed by imperceptibly until Xu Yangyang was in a daze, nearly asleep.

Suddenly, the bed beside her seemed to sink. Then, Jiang Ni seemed to prop herself up. In her hazy state of consciousness, Xu Yangyang was still wondering if the other woman needed to get up for the bathroom when a soft, moist warmth landed on her lips without warning.

Xu Yangyang: “?”

While she was still in a state of confusion and her consciousness was struggling to snap awake, 0357 exploded like a drop of water hitting a pan of boiling oil:
