After Transmigrating as the Vicious Female Supporting Character, I Ran Away While Pregnant - Chapter 1
“Thank you. It’s very quiet here. Ranran and I both like it very much. Sorry to trouble you.” The woman’s tone was very gentle, yet it carried a distance that made her hard to approach.
“You’re too polite. This is what we should do.” The man wore a black suit, his carefully styled hair fixed neatly in place. On his face was the smile he had practiced thousands of times after entering society. His words were courteous and mild. “I am your accompanying assistant. During the filming period on set, you can contact me for anything. My phone will be on for you twenty-four hours a day.”
“That’s enough, Guan Tai. We’ve known each other for four years. Putting aside the fact that you donated blood for me at the hospital back then and saved both me and Ranran’s lives, just based on our four years of friendship, you don’t need to be so polite with me.”
“Listen to you. What do you mean, we’ve known each other for four years? We were playing with building blocks together back when we still wore open-crotch pants. Are you really determined to cut yourself off from the past completely?” Guan Tai was a little angry when he mentioned this, but his personality was gentle by nature. No matter how angry he was, his face would not turn red. He only sighed and tried to persuade her again. “Li Sheng, are you really not planning to bring Ranran home to take a look?”
“Uncle and Auntie really… really miss you. And your brother—” Guan Tai watched Li Sheng’s expression. Seeing her face gradually turn cold, he immediately stopped and changed the subject. “Enough idle talk. Casting will be held over the next two days. There are still many things to take care of. I’ll leave first. Contact me anytime if you need anything.”
“Mm. I won’t see you out.”
After Guan Tai left, Li Sheng gently closed the door.
In her previous life, she had lived miserably in the apocalypse. Perhaps heaven had taken pity on her, because after Li Sheng died, she was reborn into this world. However, on the very day she was reborn, she discovered that this was the world of a novel she had accidentally read in her previous life. She had become the vicious female supporting character in the novel, and at that time, she was already three months pregnant.
This was an old-fashioned domineering CEO novel. It told the story of Ji Ruodong, a business magnate and domineering CEO, who had an unattainable white moonlight. In order to ease the pain of longing for her, he found many women who resembled his white moonlight and signed lover contracts with them.
The female lead, Mo Yueshuang, was a popular young actress. Because her back view closely resembled the domineering CEO’s white moonlight, she was subjected to the CEO’s forceful “courtship.”
Li Sheng was currently only a brainless female supporting character who admired the domineering CEO. She constantly courted death in various ways, and even schemed to have a one-night affair with the CEO, becoming pregnant with his child.
Later, the domineering CEO called off his engagement with his fiancée and got together with the female lead, Mo Yueshuang, who had been tormented both physically and emotionally. As for this vicious female supporting character, her ending was that her child was snatched away by the CEO, while she herself went insane, wandered the streets, and eventually died miserably.
In order to stay far away from the main storyline, Li Sheng went abroad.
While overseas, she wrote down what she had seen and experienced in her previous life as a memoir. By some lucky accident, she submitted it to a competition and won a major award. It became a bestseller in many countries. Now, a Huaxia director had been chosen to adapt it into a film, and her reason for returning this time was to serve as an on-set consultant.
At the same time, she also wanted to try and see whether this world with a predetermined ending could be changed by human effort.
“Mommy, Mommy! Come here, hurry and come over…”
While Li Sheng was lost in thought, a little girl’s cry of surprise came from the living room. Li Sheng quickly hurried over. “What’s wrong, baby?”
“Mommy, look. This person looks so much like me.”
Little Ranran raised her hand and pointed at the TV screen, her face filled with the joy of discovering a new continent. On the TV screen, the actress happened to be facing the camera and smiling faintly.
Li Sheng only glanced over casually, but with that one look, she saw that her own little child and that actress seemed as if they had been carved from the same mold. She was practically a smaller version of that actress. Their brows and eyes were similar, and even the corners of their lips when they smiled looked extremely alike.
At that moment, the TV drama had just ended. The ending theme began to play, and the cast list slowly scrolled across the screen. Li Sheng saw the name listed first: Mo Yueshuang — as — Shen Ranjun.
Mo Yueshuang? Mo Yueshuang!
This was the female lead, Mo Yueshuang? Why did her daughter look so much like the female lead, Mo Yueshuang?
Li Sheng suddenly felt a headache coming on. She could be certain that Little Ranran had been born prematurely after she had carried her for seven months.
“Mommy, Mommy, she looks so much like me. Did Mommy give birth to two children?”
The child was still young, but she understood a lot of things in a messy way. Although she could not express herself clearly, Li Sheng understood what she meant.
Li Sheng did not know whether to laugh or cry as she walked over and crouched in front of Little Ranran. She gently placed both hands on her shoulders. “Little Ranran, Mommy only has you, one child. That auntie looks about the same age as Mommy. Even if Mommy had given birth to an older sister for you, it couldn’t possibly be her.”
“Then why do we look so alike?”
“It’s a coincidence. There are many people in this world who look alike. There are even some people who have no relation to each other at all but look exactly the same.” In her heart, Li Sheng felt that this matter was not that simple. After all, they were living inside a book. In a novel, coincidences were often plot points arranged by God. But she did not dare think about it too deeply. She could only tell Ranran that it was just a coincidence, while constantly comforting herself in her heart that this was only a coincidence.
Ranran opened her little mouth as if she still had something to say, but although she was young, she already knew how to sense Mommy’s emotions. So when she felt that Mommy was feeling down right now, Ranran obediently said no more and continued staring at the TV, watching the actress who looked extremely similar to her.
At last, evening arrived. After Li Sheng brought Little Ranran to enjoy a delicious and nutritious dinner, she helped Ranran take a comfortable hot bath, then carried her to bed.
“Ranran, rest properly here. Mommy will go take a bath, then come back and tell you a story, okay?”
“Okay!”
After Li Sheng left, the clever little Ranran took out her small tablet computer and started a video call with Auntie Miranda, who was far overseas.
“Hey, little angel. Is Hua Country fun? Did you miss me?”
“I missed you very much, Miranda.” Little Ranran giggled as she greeted Miranda, then frowned her little brows and asked with a very serious expression, “Miranda, if two people look very alike, what kind of relationship do they have?”
“Sisters!”
“No, no, no. They’re not sisters. Miranda, think again.”
“Mother and daughter?”
“I understand now, Miranda!” The excited Little Ranran hung up the call and began searching online for information about Mo Yueshuang.
Li Sheng, who was currently soaking in the bath, felt the corner of her eye twitch. Her heart was pounding wildly, and she kept feeling as if something else was about to happen.
