Transmigrating into the Male Supporting Character’s Ex-wife

was feasting alone.
It seemed a little… outrageous.

But at this time, she couldn’t give herself away.
She could only thicken her skin and reply: “Just a fruit salad or whatever.
Don’t worry about me.
I’m dieting these days.
I’m not hungry.”

Ding! Cheng Jun got the text and looked down at his phone.
He looked in Ruan Jiu Jiu’s direction out of the corner of his eye.

Dieting? Not hungry? Of course she wasn’t hungry.
She had ordered pasta, steak, lava cake….
A display of high-calorie dishes were splayed across the table, and she had even finished half of her glass of wine.
She’d probably be stuffed and have digestion problems once she got home.

Right now, Ruan Jiu Jiu had her head in the food.
She had no way of noticing Cheng Jun’s faint gaze.

She started eating faster.
She wanted to finish early and go home.
She still had to air out the smell of food on her, just in case Cheng Jun got a whiff.

“Bo- …erp, B-Bro, what are you getting?”

Tu Nan looked at Cheng Jun.
His heart seemed elsewhere.
Tu Nan had almost called him “Boss” but quickly held it back.
He passed the menu to Cheng Jun.
Weirdly, the man who normally only cared about food and work now didn’t have the last bit of interest in the menu.
Tu Nan thought this was a serious problem.

But at this moment, he could only suppress his curiosity and wait for Cheng Jun to order.

Cheng Jun’s long, slender fingers tapped a few items on the digital menu screen.
They were all things Ruan Jiu Jiu had ordered.
His eyes fluttered slightly.
He looked in Ruan Jiu Jiu’s direction out of the corner of his eyes.
What else was missing?

An Rou thought he was looking at her.
In a very ladylike fashion, she tucked her loose hairs behind her ear.
With her lift of the arm, Cheng Jun once again was blocked from being able to see that crook hoarding a table of food all to herself.

Annoyed, he turned his head and said, “Hurry up and order.”

If it dragged on too long, the crook would get away.

Gu You was very sensitive to others’ emotions.
He quickly realized that this quiet, taciturn “bro” had a pretty high rank.

He pumped his spirits and sat up straight.
He spoke respectfully and cordially said, “To be honest, my target has always been Jiacheng.
I hope you can take a chance on me.
I believe that whatever others can do, I can too.”

Tu Nan’s impression of Gu You wasn’t too bad, but figuring that Cheng Jun had the final say, as long as Cheng Jun hadn’t nodded to indicate his approval, he could only haphazardly dodge the topic.

“Mr.
Gu, you’ve recently encountered some controversies in Dreamy Chant.
It wouldn’t look very good for you to join the company at this time.
We hope that you can make some new accomplishments.

Gu You’s heart dropped, but he didn’t show anything on the surface.
“I understand.
I’ve already signed up to compete in the team recruitment tournament for Jiacheng.
I will do my best.”

Tu Nan was truly very satisfied.

He secretly took a glance at Cheng Jun, hoping for Cheng Jun to give him some pointers.
This little seedling, Gu You, had already been under their observation for quite some time.
He was very satisfactory in all aspects and would definitely leave his mark in Esports.

Tu Nan suddenly paused in shock.

Cheng Jun seemed to be staring absent-mindedly at something.
When he took a look in the same direction, he saw, to his surprise, an extraordinarily gorgeous woman sitting alone at a table.
She was ravenously stuffing her face with shocking speed.
Right when Tu Nan looked over, she hiccupped, then immediately took a gulp of wine to conceal her little gaffe.

What a cute girl.
Tu Nan’s heart skipped, but he immediately realized—Hold up, something’s wrong with this situation.
Why would the boss be staring at an unknown woman?

“What are you looking at?” Jiao Fan asked somewhat curiously.

At that, An Rou’s lips curled into a little smile and she said somewhat bashfully, “It’s nothing.”

Tu Nan: “?” Miss An, are you assuming something here?

Cheng Jun still looked like his mind was elsewhere.
Trying to keep a straight face, Tu Nan managed to get out, “Then, let’s eat first, we can continue the discussion after dinner.”

Gu You let out a slight sigh of relief.
His expression was stiff.
He had never felt this nervous before and almost couldn’t control himself.
He wanted to give a bitter laugh.
He was twenty something yet was still like a kid, tender and a little introverted.
No wonder why they thought he didn’t have enough experience.

The delicious food was paired with red wine.
The sour taste still lingered in the mouth, and it increased one’s appetite.

Out of everyone, Cheng Jun had the most food in front of him.
Everyone looked on as if it were normal, and Gu You’s doubts subsided.

Cheng Jun tasted a few bites and then lowered his head to send out another text.

“The steak isn’t tender enough.
The rest is all right.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu, who was sitting diagonal from their table, heard her phone buzz.
When she checked her phone, she saw a comment that seemed to have come out of nowhere.
She was a bit puzzled and asked, “Are you eating Western food?”

Cheng Jun: “Mhm.”

“Which restaurant? If it’s good we can go together next time.”

Cheng Jun replied really fast.
He sent his location, which happened to be the restaurant Ruan Jiu Jiu was at.
When she read the text, she was sipping on her red wine.
She was shocked and choked on her wine.
She covered her mouth and coughed hard.
Tears almost came out.

Lordy! Cheng Jun was at the same restaurant?!

The commotion at Ruan Jiu Jiu’s table caused Tu Nan and those at his table to look over.
It just so happened that Ruan Jiu Jiu was looking all around, searching for Cheng Jun.
Then, in an awkward moment, she locked eyes with a pair of slender almond eyes amidst the crowd.

His arms were crossed and his gaze was faint.
He held his phone and typed a few words.

Ruan Jiu Jiu subconsciously looked down at her phone.

Cheng Jun: “Are you happy eating by yourself?”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…”

I was happy! But now! Not! One! Bit!

Ruan Jiu Jiu was much more beautiful than An Rou.
Even if she was looking a little worse for the wear with her coughing, she couldn’t hide her stunning beauty.
Tu Nan withdrew his gaze and smiled, saying, “What a good-looking lady.”

Cheng Jun silently stared at Tu Nan.
His aura was menacing.
Tu Nan could barely eke out a smile anymore.

Cheng Jun asked, “Is she pretty?”

Tu Nan nodded without missing a beat.
“Very.”

Cheng Jun: “Is she pretty?”

Tu Nan had a strong sense of self-preservation.
“… Actually, she’s fine.”

Tu Nan shot a look at the boss.
He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.
From the time they had entered the door, the boss constantly had his attention on that unknown woman.
Just now his expression…distinctly looked a bit unhappy.

Now, Tu Nan was truly shocked.

Boss, Boss, you can’t do anything stupid! You’re a married man okay!

Tu Nan’s imagination had already skipped ahead to envision Cheng Jun’s post-divorce lifestyle, a lonely existence with only instant ramen and a keyboard to accompany him, even fast-forwarding to the tragedy of dying at home alone in his old age with no one to discover his body.
Too cruel! It was just too cruel!

Cheng Jun’s death stare made Ruan Jiu Jiu feel extremely awkward, she couldn’t remain comfortably in her seat anymore.

With such a guilty conscience, she didn’t even have the appetite to finish her remaining food.
So she immediately called the waiter for the bill, hoping to beat a quick retreat.

The exit just so happened to be past Cheng Jun’s table.
Ruan Jiu Jiu had no way of going around.
She was in turmoil for a moment before deciding to pretend that nothing had happened.
She popped the collar of her trench coat, hiding her face, and she lowered her head while carrying the bags.
She quietly slipped towards the exit.

Almost there! Almost there!

Only

She was about to pass Cheng Jun’s seat and could almost taste the victory of the exit’s welcoming embrace!

Ruan Jiu Jiu had a small spring in her step.
She didn’t know that Cheng Jun had put down his fork and knife.
He slowly turned his head.
“You don’t want to go back together?”

Under everyone’s shocked gaze, Ruan Jiu Jiu halted in her steps.

She reluctantly turned around slowly, and was met with a group of stunned onlookers.
She awkwardly waved.
“Ciao.”

Tu Nan had a premonition.
“This is—?”

Author’s note:

Staring at a table groaning under the weight of all its dishes, Cheng Juan repeated: Just scraping by?

Ruan Jiu Jiu drowning in her shame: Forgive me! QAQ
