Transmigrating into the Male Supporting Character’s Ex-wife

ladylike smile she always had on her face cracked.
She stared holes into the backs of the departing figures.
Her pretty lips pursed into a tight line, and her gaze sharpened.

She didn’t believe the two were together! She was even less likely to believe that he loved that girl!

“I never thought she’d be such a beautiful lady.”

“Yeah… Ahh, don’t talk about it anymore.
I’m so jealous I could cry right now.”

Gu You looked at their expressions in thought.

He asked, “So, Cheng Jun is Liszt.” Though his words formed a question, his tone seemed assured.

Tu Nan said, “Keep it a secret.”

Gu You said, “Relax, I can keep a secret.”

He gave a slight smile.
All he could think of was Ruan Jiu Jiu’s cute smiling face and her soft fingertips.
He was a bit dazed.

After the two left, the rest didn’t have the heart to continue eating.
They paid the bill and left the restaurant.
Tu Nan left with Gu You and planned to talk with him on the way home.
Jiao Fan volunteered to drive An Rou home.

An Rou had a heavy expression on the ride home.
When she thought of Cheng Jun returning home with that woman, her jealousy could almost swallow her whole.

She knew Cheng Jun’s personality a little.

When he had said, “let’s go home” that meant that in all likelihood he saw Ruan Jiu Jiu as family and treated her thus.

Jiao Fan glanced through the rearview mirror at An Rou.
He cautiously asked, “An Rou, are you okay? You aren’t looking so good.”

An Rou, who was sitting in the backseat, suddenly spoke softly and asked, “Um, if you compare me to Ruan Jiu Jiu, who do you think is prettier?”

Jiao Fan was a dense moron with zero EQ.
Without a thought, he replied, “Sister-in-law is prettier of course.
She’s a one in a million! But…” His voice softed.
“You are the prettiest in my heart.”

An Rou was almost angered to death by his “comforting” words.

On the other side, it wasn’t all sunshine and butterflies, and lovey-dovey-ness like the others had thought.

Ruan Jiu Jiu pretended as if nothing had happened while she sat in the taxi.
Cheng Jun sat right next to her and didn’t say a thing.
The two were very quiet.
With a guilty conscience, Ruan Jiu Jiu decided to break the silence.
“Um… I saw that you didn’t even eat much.
Aren’t you hungry?”

Cheng Jun’s faint response: “No worries, I’m just scraping by.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…”

Fine, having her weak spot discovered could be counted as her being unlucky.

Ruan Jiu Jiu cleared her throat and attempted to make it up to him: “Then how about I cook you something to eat?”

Cheng Jun’s faint response: “Just scraping something together will do.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…”

She should just keep her mouth shut.

She silently turned her head and stared out the window.
It was a bit stuffy inside the taxi so she lowered the car’s window slightly, leaving a tiny gap to let the air circulate better.
The cold air rushed against her face and, not having taken care to keep herself warm, she hiccupped.

From the other side, Cheng Jun’s quiet voice continued: “Full?”

Ruan Jiu Jiu, on the verge of bursting into tears: “…”

She had learned her lesson and now bitterly understood what it meant to offend a foodie.
She would never again go off to eat by herself! Never again!

After getting off the taxi, the rain had already stopped.

The wet and muddy ground was a bit slippery, but thankfully Cheng Jun was there to help carry her shopping bags.
Ruan Jiu Jiu was able to use both hands to carefully hold up the ends of her coat, to avoid getting mud splattered on herself.

Cheng Jun’s pace of walking wasn’t slow, and Ruan Jiu Jiu followed behind him the whole way, her heels click-clacking on the steps.

“Oh yeah,” Ruan Jiu Jiu recalled the other’s matter and was still a bit doubtful, “why was Gu You eating with you guys, is it related to the game?”

“Mhm,” Cheng Jun slowly responded.

Ruan Jiu Jiu waited for him to continue explaining but unexpectedly, Cheng Jun didn’t say anything after that.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “???”

This guy really knew how to hold a grudge!

Facing Cheng Jun’s back, Ruan Jiu Jiu made a face.
But the other suddenly turned his head back and saw her baring her fangs in such a stupid manner.

Time seemed to stop at that moment.

Ruan Jiu Jiu coughed.
“Next time you turn around, can you give me a head’s up.”

Cheng Jun stared at her for a while.
Under the dim lights, his pupils were so black one couldn’t see the depths of them.
It made Ruan Jiu Jiu forget her lines.

Cheng Jun swallowed the question “Do you care about Gu You that much?” back into his mouth.

He slowly said, “I want to eat egg noodles.”

“… Ah.” So it was that.

Ruan Jiu Jiu immediately relaxed.
Here she thought Cheng Jun had something important to say.
But in the end it still had to do with food.

“Okay, sure.”

Just as Cheng Jun was finishing off his bowl of noodles, Tu Nan changed the group chat to “It’s Good But It Ain’t No Dumpling” and people started spamming in excitement.
It didn’t take long for them to rack up 99+ notifications.

Tu Nan: Sister-in-law is soooo pretty! My God!

Jiao Fan: Yeah yeah! You don’t know how dumb we all looked!

Fu Zi Cheng: Wtf! I work overtime and miss such a big thing??? Why didn’t you guys call me!

Fu Zi Cheng: How pretty was she? I really wanna tag Boss and ask for her selfie! Ahhh! Am I crazy?

Tu Nan: You ain’t even that bad.
I might not even be able to see the sun tomorrow.

Only

Jiao Fan: You shoulda seen Tu Nan’s face when he saw Sister-in-law.
He was like a dog looking at meat.
He didn’t even blink.

Fu Zi Cheng: Omfg kms.
My god I wanna cry.
I also wanna meet sister-in-lawwww—-

Ten minutes later.

[Cheng Jun has changed the group name to “Group Chat.” ]

[Tu Nan has been kicked from the chat.]

Not too long later, a voice text from Cheng Jun appeared.
His voice was clear and sounded nice.
His tone was calm and steady.

“You want to work overtime?”

The two poor little things still left in the chat started quaking.
