Transmigrating into the Male Supporting Character’s Ex-wife

Cheng Jun lowered his eyelids, and his expression wasn’t clear.

His voice was very low, the sound almost a whisper. When he had pulled Ruan Jiu Jiu, he only tugged slightly on a corner of her clothes. He tugged with the strength of a beached fish struggling with its last vestiges of life to get into the water, only to discover that it had already exhausted itself.

The moment his words came out, Ruan Jiu Jiu was shocked motionless. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

Where had Cheng Jun’s mind run off to?

Her original intention was to say, “I think, it’s best that we go home to have a proper discussion.”

Besides transmigrating into a novel, Ruan Jiu Jiu had never faced any large problems. Cheng Jun’s identity involved her future. Ruan Jiu Jiu was just worried that if one day, one of Cheng Jun’s work matters fell through, his counterpart would hire an assassin in a fit of angerand wipe out Ruan Jiu Jiu from the face of the earth.

Cheng Jun’s hand didn’t let go of her. Clearly, he was much taller than Ruan Jiu Jiu, but right then he looked like a pitiful child.

Ruan Jiu Jiu’s heart couldn’t handle it anymore and softened considerably.

The thing she couldn’t bear the most was seeing other people showing weakness to her. Just a look at Cheng Jun’s forlorn appearance and Ruan Jiu Jiu couldn’t get a word out of her mouth.

With a gentle voice she asked, “Is it okay for us to go back to talk?”

For other people to see them like this wasn’t too good for Cheng Jun.

Cheng Jun: “You’re not leaving?”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “We need to talk about this.”

He pressed his lips together and didn’t say a word. It was like the two pointy ears on his head sadly drooped down as well.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…” The destructive power of this was just too high. She was a little unable to handle it.

The two people silently went home.

Ruan Jiu Jiu walked in front, and Cheng Jun followed behind. Tu Nan and the others hid dejectedly behind a corner, watching as Cheng Jun trailed Ruan Jiu Jiu. Right before he was about to go downstairs, he suddenly turned his head back. Those two sleepy phoenix eyes were half hidden by his lowered eyelids, and his pupils were very dark. They swiftly locked onto the location of the group.

That death stare scared them into quaking in their boots, their hearts full of unspeakable misery.

It’s over, it’s over, the Boss is holding a grudge!

Immediately, Fu Zi Cheng and Jiao Fan grabbed Tu Nan and started thrashing him. Under the onslaught, Tu Nan started yelling “Aiyo, Aiyo!” without stopping, but didn’t dare to fight back.

Tu Nan’s assistant saw, from far away, the scene of her own boss being ruthlessly attacked. She was very calm, immediately deciding to pretend that she hadn’t seen anything. She took a detour around them to return to her office to rest.

……

Cheng Jun turned his head back to look at Ruan Jiu Jiu. The faint traces of ruthlessness still lingering in his eyes immediately disappeared and he regained his meek and helpless appearance.

Ruan Jiu Jiu usually acted in a fierce manner. If Cheng Jun dared to be fierce towards her, she would be even fiercer.

But when Cheng Jun targeted her soft spot, she was immediately at a loss and didn’t know what to do.

Only when they got home did Ruan Jiu Jiu finally sort out her jumbled thoughts.

Cheng Jun’s personality was slow to warm up to people and a bit antisocial, and indifferent to strangers. (Though they were familiar, their relationship wasn’t that close) The two of them had interacted with each other for a while now, so he had probably taken her as a family member. That was why he didn’t want her leave.

He lacked maternal affection, lacked family bonds, so he probably really just hoped for someone to accompany him.

Voluntarily casting herself into the role of stepmother and elder sister, Ruan Jiu Jiu suddenly felt a lot of pressure. This maddening little kid was truly difficult to raise.

The two of them sat on the sofa. Ruan Jiu Jiu took out the divorce agreement from before and said seriously, “Then I’ll just sign my name on this contract. If any problems come up, I can leave at any time. The shares mentioned in the agreement are worthless now, and I don’t need money anyway. If you’re worried that I’m extorting you out of anything, you can write up a new contract.”

Cheng Jun remained silent.

“Since you’re not saying anything, I’ll take your silence as agreement?”

Ruan Jiu Jiu straightforwardly signed her name on the contract.

A few months ago, he found someone to write up the contract, in order to make “her” leave. Now, a few months later, she signed her name on it, but this wasn’t actually the result he wanted.

Ruan Jiu Jiu finished signing and flapped the papers a bit to help the ink dry. Little did she know, the man in front of her was already thinking of ways to make this divorce agreement disappear.

“Oh yeah, there’s still a line that needs to be signed. You also need to put your signature and thumbprint on it.”

This was all what Ruan Jiu Jiu had thought out on the way back. The terms of the agreement were roughly, the husband and wife pair both didn’t have any genuine feelings for each other, so if any party brought up divorce, the other party had to agree and could not back out.

Ruan Jiu Jiu handed the pen over to Cheng Jun, “You sign.”

Cheng Jun: “…”

Sitting next to him, Ruan Jiu Jiu continued to embellish, “The two of us aren’t that old, it won’t be too hard to find someone new. Neither of us will get in the other’s way.”

Someone new…

For the first time, CEO Cheng realized the magnitude of his martial crisis. The bright green hat on his head was practically lush enough to plant the seeds of an entire prairie, making him worried sick.

Once the two copies of the agreement were put away, Ruan Jiu Jiu decided as Cheng Jun told her, she would be an easygoing, happy little rich madam.

Being a dependant felt pretty nice. Ruan Jiu Jiu’s mood was very good, the feeling of finally grabbing onto the winds of success made her whole face beam in a smile. She patted Cheng Jun’s shoulder and said, “Relax, I’ll stay here.”

Wherever the money was, that’s where she’d be!

Cheng Jun: “That’s great.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “It can’t be helped that I’m such a kindhearted, enchanting, cu…”

“Finally, I don’t have to worry about going back to eating instant noodles.” Cheng Jun unhurriedly continued.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…Cute my ass.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu fiercely glared at him.

Cheng Jun had an innocent expression on his face. “What’s for dinner?”

Ruan Jiu Jiu laughed coldly, “Instant noodles.”

“…”

The next day.

Cheng Jun gave Ruan Jiu Jiu a card. When Ruan Jiu Jiu received it, she was shocked. Could this be the rumored credit card that overbearing CEOs used?! The! Black! AMEX!?

“Wow! Wow!”

Ruan Jiu Jiu sighed in admiration and looked the card over multiple times. “Is this for me?”

Cheng Jun said, “Mhm, spend as much as you want.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu’s face turned red.

“Say that again.”

Cheng Jun had an are-you-crazy expression as he looked sideways at her.

Ruan Jiu Jiu continued with a red face. “God, when guys say that line, it’s just too cool.” Even if it was a guy like Cheng Jun!

Cheng Jun: “…”

Though he said she could swipe to her heart’s delight, Ruan Jiu Jiu didn’t have anything she wanted to buy. Other than paying for everyday food expenses and buying a few nice-looking clothes, which wasn’t even enough to hit the minimum spend on the card.

With that, the couple resolved their problem. Cheng Jun could finally go to work like normal, and Ruan Jiu Jiu finally discovered the benefits of going to the office with him.

That was—getting a ride.

Cheng Jun had a chauffeur!

Ruan Jiu Jiu was shocked.

She thought Cheng Jun didn’t drive because he didn’t have a license. But who knew it was because he was too lazy to drive. To avoid arousing suspicion, every time they were a few hundred meters away from the office, Ruan Jiu Jiu would get off the car. Even if the employees didn’t recognize Cheng Jun, she didn’t know why but she always had a guilty conscience.

When she got to the office, Tu Nan and the others were chuckling as if nothing were the matter.

Ruan Jiu Jiu still had one doubt in her mind.

Expressionless, she pointed at Tu Nan. “Are you Southern Black Sesame?”

Tu Nan: “Hurk…”

“And you are Master Kang’s Sexy Instant Noodles?”

Fu Zi Cheng coughed.

“And you… It’s Good But It Ain’t No Dumpling?”

Jiao Fan was so scared he shivered pitifully. He barely eeked out, “Sorry Dumpling-in-law I was wron- ah, no, no, no, bah! I mean Sister-in-law! God! I should just go commit seppuku!”

Mr. Yakult was currently calmly sipping on Yakult, as if he was just a bystander.

Ruan Jiu Jiu put her hands on her hips and angrily glared. The guys were like eggplants frosted over, half-wilted.

Didn’t they resolve their marital issues?!

Why then did they still end up suffering?

Tu Nan silently suppressed his tears.

His vacation had disappeared with the wind. His end-of-year bonus… was probably also a goner.

On this side, the identity reveal caused a huge ruckus. On the other side, the actual female lead Xu Bi Ying had encountered the biggest crisis she’d experienced since her rebirth.

Ever since the fight with Gu You last time, she’d call and he wouldn’t pick up, and she’d visit and he wouldn’t be there. She didn’t know where he had gone. Their families were asking what happened between the two of them, and why their wedding date still hadn’t been settled.

Xu Bi Ying was under huge pressure and almost collapsed under it. Just at this time, she received the news that Gu You entered Jiacheng’s recruitment tournament once again.

…Moreover, he did pretty well.

The blood flowed backwards in her veins and her hands and feet froze. Her head seemed to buzz. It was like she had lost a winning lottery ticket that she originally held in her hand, staring blankly as the prize vanished without a trace.

She never thought that within a few days’ time, Gu You could pull himself together again and compete!

Only

Xu Bi Ying had no way of getting in touch with him so she contacted his parents. In a pitiful manner, she said that the two were fighting, and that no matter what she said Gu You would ignore her. Finally, after so much effort she finally got in touch with him.

Xu Bi Ying quickly went to visit and apologize.

She wanted to go in, but was coldly blocked at the entrance by Gu You.

Gu You spoke. “It’s over for us.”

Xu Bi Ying gritted her teeth. “I can’t accept that!”

Gu You stared at her panicking, sorry-looking appearance. The pure and simple young girl of his memories seemed to have left along with the passing of time. He didn’t know when she had grown up, and he also didn’t know when she had become this complicated.

Gu You lightly sighed. Finally, he said in a gentle voice, “Leave, Bi Ying. Don’t come again.”

There had never been anything between the two of them from the start.
