After Transmigrating as the Vicious Female Supporting Character, I Ran Away While Pregnant - Chapter 10

This matter was a pain in her heart. Although she had escaped safely back then and stayed far away from that den of demons, the few days she had been locked up were simply the few days in her life that she least wanted to remember.

Principal Zheng’s introduction was still continuing. Li Ran was very interested in these things and immediately wanted to go inside and try them.

She tugged at Li Sheng’s hand. Her sweet little-girl voice called out Mommy as she happily asked, “Mommy, can I go in and play?”

After Li Sheng quickly came back to herself, she told her, “You have to ask Principal Zheng if you can.”

Before Ranran could even ask, Principal Zheng had already smiled and nodded in agreement. “Of course you can. Come in, Ranran.”

She had long noticed that the woman wearing sunglasses and a mask was standing motionless at the door. That woman even made her faintly sense some sadness. Principal Zheng was not sure whether she was Li Sheng’s relative or friend, but no matter which one she was, if that woman felt dissatisfied and said something, Li Sheng would inevitably have to think more about it.

Earlier, Mr. Guan had already explained Li Sheng’s identity to her. If she could keep Li Ran here, then her kindergarten could truly be considered gilded with gold.

At this moment, Principal Zheng smiled generously and invited them. “Both guardians, please come in as well. Have a look together.”

Mo Yueshuang had not yet adapted to this new identity as a “guardian” when Li Sheng tugged at her sleeve. Soon, she heard Li Sheng quietly say to her, “Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”

“No, I’m fine.” Mo Yueshuang had completely walked out of the memories of the past. She looked at Li Sheng’s face so close before her, and her heart, which was still immersed in sorrow, instantly trembled uncontrollably.

Li Sheng could not see her expression either, but hearing that her tone sounded fine, she thought there should be nothing wrong. So she did not meddle further. After all, she was not some warmhearted person. She only paid a little more attention to Mo Yueshuang for Ranran’s sake.

Mo Yueshuang stood outside the door and looked at Li Sheng, feeling fortunate that she was wearing sunglasses, so no one could see her reddened eyes.

“Auntie Mo~ Come quickly. I’ll play the piano for you.”

When Mo Yueshuang heard Ranran calling her, she quickly drove away all negative emotions and came to Ranran’s side with a gentle smile.

When Ranran was overseas, her unreliable cross-generational friend Miranda had taught her a little.

Ranran was still young and could only play some simple little tunes. But if one counted carefully, there were already seven or eight songs.

“Does it sound nice?”

Mo Yueshuang nodded and praised her, “It sounds very nice. Ranran is amazing.”

Ranran jumped down from the stool, ran to Mo Yueshuang’s side, and held Mo Yueshuang’s hand. “Auntie Mo, you should play too.”

Mo Yueshuang did not know how. In the past, when she encountered something she could not do, she could calmly say that she did not know how. But today, as she looked down at Ranran and thought that Li Sheng was right beside her, Mo Yueshuang suddenly wished that she knew how.

But unfortunately, not knowing meant not knowing.

“Ranran, I don’t know how to play the piano.”

Mo Yueshuang told the truth. Ranran did not feel disappointed. Instead, she pulled Mo Yueshuang over to sit down and persuaded her, “Auntie Mo can just press the keys casually. When I didn’t know how, Miranda said that to me.”

Mo Yueshuang did not know what to do. If she randomly pressed a few keys, would some ear-piercing noise come out?

Li Sheng was still present, and she did not want to embarrass herself too badly.

So she carefully recalled the piano keys Li Ran had just played. Although Mo Yueshuang was not skilled, she still managed to reproduce it.

Li Ran immediately became angry. Holding her little arms, she took two steps back, looking at Li Sheng, then at Mo Yueshuang like a little adult.

Mo Yueshuang did not understand what was wrong with her until Li Ran puffed up angrily and said, “Auntie Mo is a liar, just like Mommy. You clearly know how to play, but you lied to Ranran and said you didn’t.”

Li Sheng felt wronged. In her previous life, she had gone through wind and rain, blades and swords, fighting desperately every day just to stay alive. She had never had the chance to come into contact with these refined arts of romance and elegance, nor had she been in the mood to do so.

After coming to this world, she had not paid attention to them at first either. Until one day, Ranran learned a new song from Miranda, came back, and insisted on pestering her to buy a piano and play it for her.

She listened to it and praised her a few times. Then Ranran wanted her to play.

Li Sheng told the truth and told her daughter that she did not know how.

Little angel Ranran encouraged Mommy, saying that if she did not know how, she had to be brave and try.

Li Sheng did not want to lose face in front of her daughter, so relying on her heaven-defying memory, she replayed the song Ranran had played with a high degree of accuracy.

After that, she gained the label of liar.

Seeing her daughter angrily call Mo Yueshuang a liar, Li Sheng felt happy for the first time since meeting Mo Yueshuang. She was so happy that the corners of her mouth even lifted slightly into a faint smile.

Finally, in her daughter’s eyes, Mo Yueshuang was no longer a high and mighty goddess. She had also become a liar who told lies.

Happy!

Mo Yueshuang noticed the change in Li Sheng’s mood. She withdrew her hand from the piano keys and somewhat unnaturally tucked the loose hair by her forehead behind her ear. The exposed tips of her ears happened to be flushed with embarrassment.

“You’re not allowed to play songs Ranran already played. You have to play something else!”

When Little Friend Li Ran got angry, she was very fierce, like a tiger, though a tiny young one.

Li Sheng knew that Mo Yueshuang probably could not play the piano, just like her, but she was also amazed by Mo Yueshuang’s memory. Back then, the time Li Sheng had paused to think had been twice as long as Mo Yueshuang’s, and her playing had not been as smooth and connected as Mo Yueshuang’s.

“All right, Ranran. Let’s play again next time, okay? Today, we came here to handle proper business.”

Ranran was a good child. When she heard Li Sheng say this, she agreed. However, she was still unwilling to let it go and walked up to Mo Yueshuang. She stretched out her hand, clenched it into a fist, then slowly extended her little pinky and hooked it. “Pinky promise!”

“All right, pinky promise. Next time, we’ll play the piano together again, okay? Whoever lies is a puppy.”

While Mo Yueshuang breathed a sigh of relief, she began making a pinky promise with Li Ran.

After Little Ranran was coaxed, she no longer brought up the matter. Seeing that Ranran seemed to have forgotten about it, Mo Yueshuang finally relaxed completely.

Afterward, Principal Zheng wanted to invite them to try the cafeteria here, but Li Sheng politely declined.

After the three of them got in the car, the precocious little Li Ran leaned against the back seat and touched her small belly as she sighed. “We didn’t get to eat the kindergarten lunch.”

“Your Auntie Mo is a big star. It isn’t convenient for her to stay there and eat. Next time, when we come alone, we’ll eat here.” Li Sheng explained to the child calmly.

Although Li Ran was still a little unwilling, she was still a good child who considered others. After feeling regretful for a while, she threw it to the back of her mind and continued rubbing against the seat cushion, moving closer to Mo Yueshuang.

A warm current flowed through Mo Yueshuang’s heart. So when Li Sheng said there was something urgent and they had to leave, it had been to avoid lunch.

“Miss Mo, I’ll send you back. Is it convenient to give me your home address?”

Li Sheng’s cold and clear voice sounded again. Mo Yueshuang nodded lightly and gave her address.

Li Ran leaned closely against Mo Yueshuang, hugged her arm, and gently shook it while smiling and asking her, “Auntie Mo, can we stay at your house to eat?”

Mo Yueshuang froze suddenly. She often ran around outside, and when work got busy in the past, she would not return home even once or twice in more than half a year. Although people regularly came to clean and tidy the house, the kitchen was basically just for show. She rarely cooked at home.

Occasionally, when she was hungry, she would eat some fruit. On the rare occasions when she was sick and had a fever, she would also force herself to cook a little porridge.

Fortunately, although the kitchen had never been used much, it was still a place that had to be cleaned.

“Of course you can. It’s just that I haven’t prepared any groceries at home. Miss Li, could you stop nearby? We can buy some food and bring it back.”

Li Sheng had not intended to go to Mo Yueshuang’s house for a meal, but the two people in the back seat were already discussing how many dishes to make and what juice to prepare, so her opinion no longer seemed important.

Li Sheng found a large supermarket and stopped. Very soon, the three of them entered the vegetable section.

In her previous life, Li Sheng did not know how to do these things. Most of the time, when she was hungry, she drank nutrient solution. As long as it could maintain her basic physical strength, it was enough.

She learned cooking only after coming to this world. In order to eat pregnancy meals, she actively enrolled in classes to learn.

Later, in order to raise her child, she learned many methods for making home-cooked dishes and nutritious meals. Now, as she walked through the vegetable section, she looked quite proper, carefully and seriously holding vegetables as she chose them.

“Mommy, meat.”

The meat section was still some distance away from here, so Mo Yueshuang suggested that she go buy it first, then they would meet up later and check out together.

Unexpectedly, Li Sheng grabbed her wrist. Mo Yueshuang turned back to look at her. Li Sheng unnaturally released her hand, and her tone was a little stiff as she said, “No need. We’ll go together.”

At first, Mo Yueshuang did not understand. But later, when she watched Li Sheng carrying all kinds of bags, large and small, in her hands, while Mo Yueshuang only had to hold Ranran’s hand, she understood everything.

After getting in the car, Li Sheng sat in the driver’s seat and moved her wrists around. There were quite a lot of things, but they were not exactly too heavy. It was only that she had not carried so many things at once in a long time, so her wrists and arms were a little unused to it.

“Did you sprain something?”

Mo Yueshuang asked worriedly.

Li Sheng shook out her hand and started the car, replying, “Don’t worry. I didn’t.”

“That’s good. Next time, don’t carry so much alone. You can give some to me.”

Hearing this, Li Sheng froze for a few seconds, then stiffly nodded in agreement. “Mm, I know.”

If not for Ranran’s sake, how could I possibly go to your house for a meal? This is the first time and also the last time.

Next time? Heh.

Beneath that expressionless face, Li Sheng hid far too many sulky inner thoughts. Luckily, over the years, she had trained her divine skill of having raging waves inside while her face remained completely unmoving. Only because of this did Mo Yueshuang not discover that her inside and outside were not as consistent as they seemed.

When they arrived at Mo Yueshuang’s home, Little Ranran became very excited after going inside. It was just that when changing shoes, because Mo Yueshuang’s home had never hosted children before, she could only wear large adult house slippers. This made it very inconvenient for Ranran to move around, and several times, she nearly fell while running.

Mo Yueshuang was afraid Ranran would really fall, so she asked Li Sheng and Ranran to wait at home while she went to a nearby mall and bought a pair of children’s slippers.

The shoes fit very well. They even had Ranran’s favorite Nona cartoon character on them. Ranran happily ran to Mo Yueshuang’s side, took off the Nona mini doll pendant hanging around her little neck, stood on her tiptoes, and raised her hand high. “Auntie Mo, look, look! Ranran’s Nona guardian angel.”

Mo Yueshuang was very familiar with this. A few years ago, when this animated series had been introduced domestically, she had even done voice dubbing for it. She simply had not expected that after so many years, Nona was still so popular with children.

Mo Yueshuang deliberately used the voice she had used for the dubbing back then and spoke to Ranran in Nona’s voice.

“Hello, Little Friend Li Ran.”

Ranran froze, and her small body took two steps back. Her bright, lively eyes fluttered as she looked at Mo Yueshuang. “It’s Nona! Mommy, come quickly! Auntie Mo is Ranran’s guardian angel.”

In the kitchen, Li Sheng, who was removing scales from the fish, nearly failed to hold the knife steadily. According to the original plot of the novel, after she died, the child was sent by Ji Ruodong to be raised by the infertile Mo Yueshuang.

Whenever Li Sheng thought of this, her heart felt extremely uncomfortable. She responded in an annoyed tone, “Ranran, play with Miss Mo for a while. Mommy needs to focus on cooking the fish.”

“Okay, Mommy! Mommy, be careful not to cut your hand.”
