After Transmigrating as the Vicious Female Supporting Character, I Ran Away While Pregnant - Chapter 14

Li Sheng stood at the doorway for a while longer. Estimating that they should have hugged enough by now, she finally coughed lightly twice to draw their attention. “Don’t leave the guest standing at the door.”

Only then did Guan Tai react. He and Ranran had blocked Mo Yueshuang outside the door, so he turned sideways and said to Ranran, “Ranran, quickly move aside a little. Let Miss Mo come in and rest for a while.”

“Li Sheng, go buy some groceries. We have to properly entertain Miss Mo.” Guan Tai was very familiar with Li Sheng. With this tone of making decisions on his own, neither Li Sheng nor Li Ran felt anything was wrong, but Mo Yueshuang once again defined Guan Tai as the male master of this home.

After Mo Yueshuang entered the house, she sat down on the red sofa. There were still many children’s toys piled on the sofa, and in front of the sofa were several stacks of documents. When Guan Tai saw them, he immediately stepped forward, tidied the documents, and held them in his arms. He gave Mo Yueshuang an embarrassed smile. “I didn’t know Li Sheng would bring a friend back. Ranran and I made the house a bit messy.”

Mo Yueshuang smiled, but there was not much smile in her eyes.

“It’s my fault. I came over without saying hello in advance and disturbed Mr. Guan.”

“You’re too polite. Just call me Guan Tai.” Guan Tai went to brew a cup of tea for Mo Yueshuang, then went to cut some fresh fruit and arrange a fruit platter before bringing it over.

Everything here had been arranged according to Li Sheng’s preferences before Li Sheng returned, so although this was Li Sheng’s home, he was more familiar with the layout of this home than Li Sheng was.

“Thank you, Mr. Guan… Guan Tai.”

“No need to be polite, no need to be polite. Your visit simply brings light to our humble little home!” After this younger-brother fan met his goddess big sister, his brain became rather inflexible.

“Auntie Mo, eat some fruit first, then drink tea afterward. But eat only a little, okay? Otherwise, you won’t be able to eat the dinner Mommy prepares.”

“Auntie Mo, drink only a little tea too. If you drink too much at night, you won’t be able to sleep. Last time, Ranran drank too much and lay in bed until three in the morning before falling asleep.”

“All right, thank you for telling Auntie Mo these things, Ranran. I’ll remember them all.”

“Mm-hm, eat some fruit.”

Li Sheng folded her arms and leaned against the doorframe, watching coldly as the three of them chatted so warmly. In an instant, she, the homeowner, had become the outsider.

“Guan Tai, we’re keeping Miss Mo for dinner. Go buy some groceries.”

Once Li Sheng spoke, Guan Tai subconsciously wanted to retort, “Didn’t we tell you to go?” But before he opened his mouth, he saw Li Sheng’s ashen-black face that was about to get angry. Guan Tai swallowed, hugged the documents, and began walking outside. “Fine, I’ll buy them. Entertain the guest properly.”

“Miss Mo is not a guest. She is Ranran’s godmother.”

Li Sheng only said this after Guan Tai walked out the door. When Guan Tai turned back in surprise, Li Sheng mercilessly closed the door, shutting Guan Tai outside and leaving him regretful and disheveled.

After Guan Tai left, Mo Yueshuang felt that even her ears felt a little closer to peace. Her messy mind also slowly calmed down.

“Miss Li, may I borrow the restroom?”

“My name is Li Sheng.”

“Mm?” Mo Yueshuang was a little stunned. “I know. You…”

“You can call me by my name.” Li Sheng’s tone was not kind. It was cold and clear, and even carried a trace of anger that was not easy to detect. Mo Yueshuang only thought she had sensed wrongly.

“Li… Sheng… I… I’d like to borrow the restroom.”

Li Sheng’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly. She felt extremely displeased. Calling Guan Tai’s two characters had been so relaxed and easy, but when it came to her, it sounded as if Mo Yueshuang had gotten stuck.

“Go ahead.”

Only after receiving permission did Mo Yueshuang go to the restroom. Li Sheng sat down on the single sofa. On the small table in front of her were still the tea Mo Yueshuang had not had time to taste, and the plate of fruit Guan Tai had cut.

Li Sheng deliberately did not pay attention to those two things. She turned on the television, placing all her attention on the drama.

By coincidence, what was currently playing was an urban romance drama starring Mo Yueshuang. It was a work from many years ago. At that time, Mo Yueshuang was still very youthful, but her acting skills were already excellent.

At this moment, the blind woman she was playing was lying on a hospital bed, eating an apple her lover had peeled for her. Her face showed a happy and satisfied smile.

Li Sheng stood up irritably. Her gaze fell on the fruit platter and the clear tea. Very quickly, she no longer hesitated. She stepped forward, picked up the fruit platter and the cup of tea, and carried them into the kitchen.

“Mommy, what are you doing?”

Ranran hugged a transforming big-car toy and followed behind Li Sheng. Li Sheng said, “The fruit was bought yesterday. It isn’t fresh anymore. The tea leaves were bought last week. They’re a little moldy.”

“Ah? Little Uncle Guan is bad!”

Li Ran indignantly followed behind Li Sheng. “Is Mommy going to change them to fresh ones for Auntie Mo?”

“Mm.”

Li Sheng took several apples and a small knife. Her two hands worked together, the small knife moving across the apple. In the span of a few breaths, the apple had already turned into an adorable little rabbit.

Li Sheng then carved the apples one by one into little squirrels, little hedgehogs, and similar shapes.

“Mommy, I don’t want to eat fruit right now?”

Their home rarely entertained guests. Aside from Miranda and Guan Tai, these two frequent visitors, Ranran rarely saw outsiders appear in the house. And when Li Sheng treated Miranda and Guan Tai, she absolutely would not peel fruit for them.

So now, Ranran thought that this was fruit Li Sheng was peeling for her.

“This is for your Auntie Mo. Ranran, go out and play for a while. I’ll come out after I finish brewing the tea.”

What Li Sheng prepared was floral tea that nourished qi and replenished blood. Unlike Guan Tai’s crude method of grabbing a handful of tea leaves and pouring water into a cup, Li Sheng had once pretended to be cultured and studied these things. The floral tea she prepared now was of excellent taste. When held in the palm and observed, the petals slowly bloomed in the hot water, filled with artistic beauty.

When Mo Yueshuang came out, she saw that the tea and fruit on the table had been replaced, and she could not help but freeze. Then she looked at Li Sheng’s expression, which had softened somewhat, and several thoughts flashed through Mo Yueshuang’s mind. However, those thoughts vanished in an instant, and she did not catch them. Under Li Sheng’s calm and indifferent gaze, Mo Yueshuang took two small sips of tea and tasted the flavor.

The tea fragrance entered her throat, fresh and elegant, as if it could wash away all the exhaustion on her body. Mo Yueshuang smiled and praised, “Li Sheng, I didn’t expect your tea art to be so good too.”

“Mm.” Li Sheng felt somewhat pleased, but she quickly restrained it again. She locked away the happiness in her heart and did not reveal even the slightest hint of it on her face. Indifferently, she said, “I learned it for a few days when I had nothing to do. As long as you like it.”

“I like it very much.”

As if proving that she truly liked it, Mo Yueshuang picked up the teacup and took another sip.

Mo Yueshuang put down the teacup and suddenly remembered her purpose for coming here. She took out the Nona pendant from her bag and quietly walked to Ranran’s side while Ranran was focused on building blocks.

Ranran noticed Mo Yueshuang coming over. She turned her head and smiled as she called, “Auntie Mo!”

The little one had just finished speaking when she saw that Mo Yueshuang’s outstretched palm held her favorite Nona pendant.
