The Villainous Sister-in-law Mistakenly Marked as the Heroine (Transmigration) - Chapter 47.2

Hearing this, Lin Qile straightened up, hands in her pockets, and smirked. “Still not as worthless as someone who can’t stop rolling in the gutter like a dog!”

“You!” Ji Zhao’s face twisted in fury. She glared hatefully and hissed through clenched teeth, “One day, I’ll make sure you suffer horribly.”

“Ooooh, I’m so scared,” Lin Qile mocked, brushing past them with deliberate nonchalance.

Both Ji Zhao and Rong Wanning glared after her, but with so many eyes watching, there was nothing they could do.

Having thoroughly vented her anger, Lin Qile was in high spirits, humming as she changed and got ready to leave work.

Just as she was about to exit the hospital, she ran into Wu Xue at the entrance.

Wu Xue greeted her warmly. “Haven’t eaten yet, right? Want to grab dinner together?”

Now that she understood Wu Xue’s intentions and after remembering how many times her hands had been soaked in disinfectant Lin Qile was even more determined to keep her distance.

After all, even though she and Rong Jing were divorced, she was about to become a mother.

She couldn’t risk angering the moody, pregnant antagonist.

Besides, stringing Wu Xue along wouldn’t be fair. Gritting her teeth, Lin Qile blurted out, “Sorry, I can’t. I have to go home and cook for Rong Jing!”

“But you’re divorced!”

Wu Xue was stunned.

The situation was too complicated to explain in a few words, especially since Rong Jing’s pregnancy was still a secret.

To crush any lingering hopes Wu Xue might have, Lin Qile lied without hesitation. “We got back together.”

The abruptness of it left Wu Xue reeling.

Her eyes welled up instantly, her voice trembling. “How… how is that possible? You just got divorced. Are you saying this just to reject me?”

Tears spilled down her cheeks as she spoke, her expression heartbreakingly vulnerable.

Lin Qile couldn’t stand seeing people cry. Her first instinct was to hand over a tissue, but halfway through the motion, she paused.

The terrifying memory of soaking her hands in disinfectant for 84 seconds flashed wildly through her mind. Silently, she withdrew her hand.

Ah, better a sharp pain than a lingering one.

“I’m sorry, Wu Xue. You’ll definitely meet someone better.”

“Did you two really get back together?” Wu Xue was still fixated on this question, her voice laced with doubt. “Lin Qile, if my feelings for you are making you uncomfortable, I won’t cling to you. There’s really no need to use such a clumsy excuse to reject me.”

Though she said this, Lin Qile wasn’t very good at rejecting people.

She could only let the misunderstanding stand.

“It’s true.” Lin Qile smiled at her. “Wu Xue, you’re a great girl, but ever since I was little, I decided that if I loved someone in this lifetime, it would only be that one person. My marriage with Rong Jing might have been fake, but my feelings for her are real. A lot has happened between us things I can’t explain clearly but I’m working hard to become a better person, someone worthy of her!”

“You’re already amazing.”

“But not amazing enough for her.”

She had thought their relationship was completely over, but then fate took a turn, and now they were even expecting a child.

Since she’d been given another chance, this time, she had to step up.

Maybe if she tried hard enough, Rong Jing would really fall for her this time.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt this might actually work!

“Wu Xue, you only feel this way because the way I saved someone reminded you of your family. It’s transference, a patient’s emotional attachment to their doctor. You should understand that. I hope we can be good colleagues at work. You’re a truly admirable omega.”

Wu Xue felt despair because she wanted to expose Lin Qile’s lie, but she couldn’t find a single flaw in her words. That meant Lin Qile truly loved her ex-wife.

She had no chance at all.

But she had her own pride and would never interfere in someone else’s relationship. Wu Xue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, struggling to steady her emotions.

“I understand what you mean. Don’t worry, I won’t bother you anymore. I wish you happiness.”

Wu Xue forced a smile and extended her hand. “Can we shake on it? I hope we can be colleagues who fight side by side!”

What a resilient and kind-hearted girl. Lin Qile was moved and smiled as she reached out her hand.

“Good colleagues.”

Their hands clasped together, and they shared a relieved smile.

That smile cut deep into Rong Jing, who was watching from not far away. Hah, how beautifully they smiled at each other!

Some people never learn their lesson!

Her face darkened as she strode over to them, her gaze icy as she stared at Lin Qile. “Lin Qile, get off work and go home to cook!”

With that, she turned and stormed away.

Used to her unpredictable moods, Lin Qile sighed helplessly and said to Wu Xue, “I should go.”

“Mm.”

Watching her accept it so willingly, Wu Xue let out a bitter laugh.

One was willing to endure, and the other was willing to give meanwhile, she, the one who had pushed herself forward, looked like a joke.

Before, she had only thought their marriage was fake, completely overlooking the details of their interactions. There was no way they had no feelings for each other.

As Rong Jing walked away faster and faster, Lin Qile hurried to catch up.

Rong Jing stopped in front of the car in the parking lot, not looking at Lin Qile, not moving.

Lin Qile immediately opened the passenger door and grinned. “Young Mistress, please get in.”

Rong Jing shot her a glance before bending down and sliding into the car.

Seeing this, Lin Qile hurriedly followed, closed the car door, and went around to the other side to sit down, fastening her seatbelt.

As she buckled up, Lin Qile stole a glance at Rong Jing from the corner of her eye. Noticing her icy expression, her heart began to pound uncontrollably, and an absurd thought suddenly flashed through her mind,

Was Rong Jing jealous?

Before, she would never have dared to entertain such an idea.

Even when Rong Jing had displayed possessiveness in the past, Lin Qile had assumed it was just pride not allowing others to touch what was hers. She had never dared to think Rong Jing might be jealous because of her. But after a series of recent events, she couldn’t help but entertain a tiny bit of delusion.

Rong Jing was willing to have her child.

Rong Jing got angry when she interacted with other Omegas.

Rong Jing had sought her out after the divorce to discuss the child.

Did she regret the divorce?

Did she… maybe like her just a little?

The more Lin Qile thought about it, the more convinced she became, to the point where her limbs stiffened from the sheer excitement, refusing to obey her commands.

Rong Jing suddenly turned to look at her, frowning. “Fasten your seatbelt, idiot.”

“…Right, right.”

Lin Qile quickly secured the belt and blurted out, “I already made things clear with Wu Xue just now, I rejected her outright. We’re just ordinary coworkers, so don’t overthink it!”

Rong Jing’s lips curled in satisfaction, though her tone remained indifferent. “Why would I overthink it?”

Lin Qile’s face fell slightly at that.

Then came Rong Jing’s chilling follow-up: “If you dare mess around and dirty my hands, I’ll kill you.”

“……”

Lin Qile’s lips twitched. What kind of response was that?

Had she imagined everything just now?

With threats like this, how could Rong Jing possibly like her? She must be losing her mind.

Lin Qile scolded herself inwardly such wishful thinking.

Sigh. She felt like the most tragic Alpha in existence her wife had even had her child, yet her wife didn’t love her.

Rong Jing’s expression softened slightly as she leaned back comfortably in her seat. “Drive. We’re going back to the Rong family home.”

“Huh? Me too?”

They were already divorced showing up at the Rong family as an ex-wife seemed a bit awkward.

“What? You don’t want to go?”

“No, no, that’s not what I meant!” Lin Qile quickly shook her head. “I just thought… wouldn’t it be inappropriate for me to go?”

Rong Jing gave her a faint glance. “You’re overthinking it.”

“?”

Lin Qile was utterly confused.

“Wanning went back home and is making a scene about getting a divorce. No one will have time to pay attention to you.”

“Oh!”

Lin Qile blurted out, “I thought she was already pacified?”

Rong Jing frowned. “So you know what’s going on?”

“Yeah, a little.”

Recalling what she had witnessed at the hospital, Lin Qile eagerly recounted the incident to Rong Jing, ending with a scornful remark: “This Ji Zhao is just like Qi Song, utterly shameless. Guess the apple really doesn’t fall far from the tree. Cheating must run in their blood.”

Rong Jing listened in silence before finally murmuring, “Have you forgotten about yourself?”

Lin Qile immediately choked.

Damn it. In her anger, she’d forgotten that Qi Song, that scumbag, was also her mother.

But that didn’t dampen her enthusiasm for witnessing the drama. Lin Qile eagerly started the car. “I’ll drive fast, let’s hurry and see the show.”

“……”

Rong Jing narrowed her eyes. “You seem awfully excited.”

Lin Qile grinned sheepishly. “Can’t help it. I’m just too happy to hide it.”

Rong Jing couldn’t be bothered to respond to her, her gaze drifting to the car window as she pressed her lips tightly together.

For Lin Qile, this trip was just about watching the drama unfold, but for her, it was a grueling test.

How was she supposed to break the news to her mother?

The wife she had shared a bed with for over twenty years not only betrayed her, but even sought to take her life.
