Chapter 38

“Hello.” Usually when answering the phone, one would say the name of the person calling after the hello. But the “mother” of this body, the original owner’s mother that is, has nothing to do with her even if she is temporarily borrowing her body.

Therefore, she could only answer the phone with a forced relaxed tone and a simple hello.

“Little Shu, your mother has asked you to come home for dinner this Saturday.” The voice on the other side of the phone was strong and distinctly male. Although she wasn’t sure if this is her father or some other unknown relative.

“Understood.” Shu Yian felt uneasy as she looked at the calendar on the screen of her computer. Today is Thursday, so that means in about a day, she will go back to see her unfamiliar “relatives”.

“En.” The male voice seemed to have nothing else to say and promptly hung up the phone after receiving an answer from her.

Shu Yian placed the phone down on the coffee table and pinched the skin between her eyebrows in annoyance.

She never was good at dealing with personal relationships, and so, from her point of view, she was very reluctant to meet the original owner of this body’s parents. After all, they had nothing to do with herself so it will be very difficult for her to recognize them as her “parents” as she had no idea how to get along with them.

But then she remembered how the previous transmigrator had destroyed the original owner’s happy family, and felt that since she is occupying someone else’s body, she might as well not make it any worse. Even if she can’t actually mend the original owner’s relationships.

Otherwise, when the original owner returns to her body and has to face this mess, she might try to kill them all.

“Do you have free time this Saturday?” Shu Yian raised her head and looked over at Su Wen.

With a familiar person by her side, she’ll feel more at ease.

“No!” Su Wen replied without raising her head.

【Even if I do have time, I must deny!】

【Shu Yian must be up to nothing good if she’s asking me this question. If I go along with her, she’ll think I’m too easy and take advantage instead of cherishing my good will! 】

Shu Yian: “……”

“If you’re really so busy, then should I ask my goddess instead?”

“No! Su Wen panicked and hurriedly refused without discussion.

“If you need to do something, just ask me. It’s not a good idea to ask outsiders instead!”

“But you’re busy.” Shu Yian didn’t expose her lies. After all, her and Su Wen has always been in a relationship where they acted with each other.

Anyhow, it would be justifiable to bring Su Wen to the Shu family home, so why would she bring a random Lin Ge?

Su Wen pretended to be nonchalant as she clicked her mouse and easily explained her lie, “There was originally an multinational conference on Saturday, but it’s not an important matter. If you really need to do something, I can push it back to Sunday.”

“Then that means you’re not busy on Saturday, right?” Shu Yian asked to make sure.

“En. What do you need?”

Shu Yian smiled mischievously at her, “Nothing much, just want to treat you to a meal!”

She wouldn’t have been suspicious if she didn’t say anything about eating, but now that she has Su Wen suddenly felt sick, “I will be grateful as long as you don’t feed me any instant noodles again in the future.”

“That won’t do!” Shu Yian wagged her index finger at her, “You asked me to take care of your three meals, and as someone who is true to their word, I will take good care of you!”

“Have you ever seen someone take care of another person by feeding them instant noodles?”

Shu Yian replied confidently, “I’ve seen it, after all I’ve done it personally!”

Su Wen: “…”

“Does that goddess of yours know you’re like this?” She curled her lips and looked at Shu Yian with a smug look on her face.

【You act all shy and quiet in front of your Lin Ge, like some proper young lady from a humble family. I wonder, do you dare show your true face to her?】

【Only I can tolerate your shamelessness, if it was someone else, they probably would’ve run away from you long ago.】

Shu Yian gave her a mocking look, “My goddess was born with a noble and peaceful temperament, the type that can soothe anyone’s soul. Do you think everyone is like you? Chaotic and restless all day like some sort of terrorist.”

“If I have to act like a good person in front of you all the time, how would I have survived this long? I probably would’ve fallen into some hole you dug for me and then get buried six feet under.”

The corners of Su Wen’s mouth twitched.

【A terrorist?】

She has always acted in a dignified and restrained manner in front of others. Everyone who has ever met her has sung her praises since she was young, saying things like how young and promising she is and how she is a role model for her peers. Why was it that only in front of Shu Yian she could no longer restrain herself?

Su Wen stood up and walked towards Shu Yian, stopping right in front of her face. Her eyes narrowed and she wore a serious expression as she studied the other party’s face, “You seem to have gone blind at such a young age. Do you need me to call a doctor for you?”

At this moment, the door to her office opened.

And so, with them standing so close to each other and Su Wen intensely studying Shu Yian’s face, from Yan Jin’s point of view the two of them were passionately kissing each other. (T/N: A refresher on who Yan Jin is -> she’s Zhou Yu’s senpai from school who helped her get into the company (cough nepotism))

She coughed dryly before placing the documents onto the table and saying towards Su Wen: “Sorry for disturbing you, but this project is rather urgent. President Su, please make a decision about whether the project is feasible or not. After you are finished, you can continue what you were doing.”

She’s heard from Zhou Yu multiple times about how much these two love each other, but Yan Jin never took it to heart. After all, that naive little girl creates made-up “love” scenarios about anyone, even two people who happen to stand a little bit close to each other.

But now, the truth was confirmed with her own eyes.

【So President Su likes this type of women?】

【En, well this is fine. One is a forceful flirt and the other is a wooden stiff. Although I don’t know if they’re compatible or not, once they get married at least things won’t be boring. It’ll be rather “interesting” actually. 】

Shu Yian: “….”

Something doesn’t feel right?

Interesting?

Perhaps she’s the one with the dirty mind this time?

She was unsure if she heard it right as she looked at Yan Jin’s serious appearance.

Meanwhile, Su Wen turned around in embarrassment, “Why didn’t you knock?”

Yan Jin was neither humble nor arrogant as she answered, “I did knock, but you did not hear me!”

Su Wen returned to her desk, “You can ask Secretary Zhou to do this sort of task in the future!”

【That won’t do, it’s actually a good thing that Zhou Yu didn’t come in instead of me.】Yan Jin immediately refuted her heart.

【That girl gets a little crazy everytime she sees couples getting even a little intimate. Although sho knows why she gets so excited, we must keep her from seeing these things as much as possible!】

【However, seeing how President Su and Shu Yian stick to each other like glue and they’re impatient to do it during working hours, I’m afraid it will be inevitable for Zhou Yu to bump into something like this in the future. 】

【I need to think up another plan. Perhaps have her transfer over to my department instead? 】

After Su Wen finished reading the documents, she gave her opinions. Then Yan Jin asked out loud, “President Su, are you satisfied with your new secretary?”

“Satisfied! What’s wrong?” Su Wen was curious why Yan Jin, someone who never asked about her staff before, was suddenly skiing now.

“Nothing’s wrong. As long as you’re satisfied.”

【Ai, one wrong step and she might cause a disaster! I knew I shouldn’t have let her apply for the position in the first place!】

Although Yan Jin sighed deeply in her heart, the expression on her face was as calm and steady as a mountain. She bowed in a 45-degree angle towards Su Wen, saying her goodbye, before taking the documents and leaving. Then she gave Shu Yian a look before leaving.

【A virtuous top, and a foxy bottom. What an exciting pairing!】

Shu Yian: “….”

Out of all the people who got along well with each other, Shu Yian finally understood why this senpai-kouhai pair had such a good relationship.

Shu Yian was able to survive the rest of the work day. Due to the misunderstanding earlier, neither of them spoke as they stewed in their embarrassment.

The silence lasted into the evening. After washing up, she received a massage from Yao Yao at around 8 in the evening.

“Miss Shu, I have obtained the video and perused the contents. You have indeed foretold everything correctly.”

This one short text message revealed that the girl on the other side must be crying her eyes out right now.

“Sleep well! Don’t feel too sad for those who don’t deserve your tears. Keep your spirits up! We can discuss your cousin’s affairs later.” Shu Yian could only send words of comfort for now.

Yao Yao quickly sent back a reply, “Thank you.”

Shu Yian didn’t reply this time and ended the conversation there. Just as she was about to turn off her phone and rest early, Lin Ge unexpectedly sent her a message.

Perhaps it was her illusion, but she felt that the tone of this message sounded a little aggrieved.

“It seems that if I don’t go looking for An An, then An An will not come looking for me.”

“No, no!” Afraid that the other party was thinking too much, Shu Yian quickly added, “I’ve just been very busy these past two days. Goddess, you seemed to be very busy so I was too ashamed to bother you.”

“If it’s An An’s messages then it’s not a bother!”

“Are you free tomorrow? I’ve been short on inspiration these past few days and wanted to go out and find some. If you don’t mind, would you like to accompany me?”

“I do mind!” Su Wen’s voice suddenly sounded next to Shu Yian’s ear.

Su Wen usually doesn’t have a habit of intruding on another person’s privacy. She had only looked over at Shu Yian for a second when she accidentally saw the bright word “Goddess” light up on Shu Yian’s screen.

She couldn’t hold back her curiosity after seeing that name and then when she glanced down to read some of the words, she found that this woman was asking out her fiancee again!

【How can there be such an impudent person?】

【Do they not know how to avoid suspension? What are you trying to do by asking out someone else’s fiancee?】

Su Wen’s heart was full of fire as she placed the towel on her head around Shu Yian’s neck, “Go out with me tomorrow for a relaxing break!

【Let’s see if you choose her or me! It’s up to you now!】
