After Transmigrating as the Vicious Female Supporting Character, I Ran Away While Pregnant - Chapter 15

Li Ran and Mo Yueshuang were discussing Nona dolls, while Li Sheng once again picked up the book she had flipped through a few pages of but had no heart to continue studying.

The doorbell rang. Li Sheng put down the book and immediately went to open the door.

At the doorway, Guan Tai was carrying a vegetable basket as well as large and small bags filled with all kinds of vegetables and meat. “Aiyo, it’s so heavy. Li Sheng, hurry and take some.”

“You bought too much. We won’t need this much for one dinner.” Li Sheng’s brows furrowed slightly, and she said disapprovingly, “If this much is kept in the fridge for too long, it won’t be fresh anymore. There’s only me and Ranran at home. We won’t be able to finish all these vegetables before they go bad.”

“Aiya, don’t say so much first. Hurry and help me take them. My hands are about to break.”

Li Sheng took all the groceries and held them in her hands, standing in front of Guan Tai with ease. Guan Tai laughed while twisting his arms. “Are you really the young lady of the Li family? You weren’t like this when you were little. If we hadn’t grown up together, I’d suspect you’d been switched with someone else. What aristocratic young lady saves resources to your extent? Who doesn’t casually throw hundreds of thousands on one formal dress? Look at your clothes. You bought this last year on your birthday.”

“Ranran bought it with her New Year’s money and gave it to me.” Li Sheng was displeased. She did not like wasting any resources, and she liked it even less when the gift her precious daughter had given her was described so poorly.

Guan Tai said a few more words to tease Li Sheng, but Li Sheng stopped speaking. She only stood at the doorway and looked at him calmly.

Guan Tai sensed that something was not quite right. “Did Mo Yueshuang leave?”

“No way! I only went out to buy groceries. Didn’t we agree to keep her for dinner? I even specially bought this much.”

“She hasn’t left. I’ll entertain her properly. Go help me find two groups of reliable bodyguards.”

Hearing that Mo Yueshuang had not left, Guan Tai let out a breath of relief. “You should have said that earlier. I felt disappointed for nothing. Wait… two groups of bodyguards?”

“Mm. We’re about to enter the production crew soon. Ranran is still young, and she just returned to the country. We can’t be careless about security.”

“That’s true. After all, she is the eldest grandchild of the Li family. Two groups of bodyguards is still a small number. Don’t worry. I’ll personally handle it tomorrow!”

After Guan Tai finished speaking, he wanted to go inside the house, but Li Sheng blocked him by pressing one hand against his chest. “That can’t wait. Go now.”

“It can’t wait? It can’t even wait one night? Li Sheng, did you secretly get into some trouble?”

Guan Tai’s expression suddenly became serious, and he suggested to Li Sheng, “If you really got into some major trouble, you should go home sooner. There’s nowhere safer than your home.”

“I didn’t get into trouble. Go handle it first. The production crew will start work soon, and Ranran is also going to kindergarten. I’m afraid once you and I both get busy, we won’t be able to look after her.”

Li Sheng’s words were not wrong, but Guan Tai still felt that something was not quite right. How could Li Sheng possibly be the kind of person who neglected her child once she got busy? Something must really have happened, but Li Sheng simply did not want to tell him.

“All right. Since you’re in such a hurry, I’ll go handle it now.”

Guan Tai turned and walked two steps, then suddenly turned back. Just as Li Sheng was about to close the door, he rushed to the doorway. “Let me go in and say hello to Mo Yueshuang. Leaving just like this would be too impolite.”

“No need! I’ll say it for you.” Li Sheng reached out and pushed. Guan Tai staggered backward, retreating half a meter.

The door closed. Seeing that Li Sheng was holding so many groceries, Mo Yueshuang quickly stepped forward to help and asked, “Where is Guan Tai?”

“He had something urgent to handle. He left in a hurry after putting the groceries at the door.”

“I see.” Mo Yueshuang knew assistants were usually very busy, so she could understand Guan Tai leaving in such a hurry.

“There are so many groceries. The three of us won’t be able to finish them, right?” Mo Yueshuang looked at the groceries and frowned slightly. “This much will no longer be fresh if kept in the fridge for too long.”

“Then, when you leave tomorrow, take some back with you?”

In her previous life, Li Sheng had almost lost her life for food. When Mo Yueshuang was young, she had also often gone hungry, and when she was studying, she had often eaten one steamed bun for an entire day. Both of them had developed the habit of not wasting food, so they were inexplicably in sync when it came to handling these vegetables.

“All right.”

Li Sheng invited Mo Yueshuang to go out and play with Ranran while she prepared dinner in the kitchen.

“There’s a lot of smoke and oil. Go out first and keep Ranran company.” Li Sheng said this while putting on an apron. Just as she was about to tie the straps, she suddenly touched a warm, soft hand. Mo Yueshuang stood behind her and said softly, “All right. Sorry to trouble you.”

After Mo Yueshuang tied Li Sheng’s apron straps into a beautiful bow, she secretly hid her smile and admired homemaker Li Sheng for a few seconds.

“Guan Tai is very fortunate.”

Mo Yueshuang said this before leaving the kitchen. Li Sheng held a knife and pressed a fish against the chopping board, staring blankly. She carefully savored that sentence, but still could not understand what Mo Yueshuang wanted to express.

Was Guan Tai very fortunate?

His mother had died in childbirth when he was born. His father died in a car accident when he was nine. He had been raised by his grandfather since childhood. Although he had never lacked food, clothing, or daily necessities, his little aunt was always afraid he would fight for the family assets and guarded against him everywhere, bullying him openly and secretly. After he became an adult, he left home because of a dispute with his younger cousin.

Guan Tai was not that optimistic. It was only that he had seen through some things. It was also because there were some things that he could not obtain no matter how hard he worked. His little uncle was in his prime, and he still had two adult sons. No matter what, the family assets would not fall into Guan Tai’s hands. Rather than being deeply trapped in the whirlpool of a wealthy family, it was better to withdraw early.

But Guan Tai was definitely unwilling. Otherwise, he would not cry and shout that he wanted to take back everything that belonged to him every time he got drunk.

Dinner was ready. Mo Yueshuang praised Li Sheng’s cooking skills. Because Mo Yueshuang was accompanying her, Ranran also ate half a small bowl more than usual, and even drank soup with Mo Yueshuang.

Mo Yueshuang did not like drinking soup. After dinner, Li Sheng coaxed Ranran to drink soup. Not only did Ranran refuse to drink, she even used Mo Yueshuang not drinking soup as an excuse, wanting to escape this “disaster.” In the end, Mo Yueshuang smiled, filled a bowl of soup, and drank it. Ranran lost her excuse and role model, so she could only take the bowl Li Sheng handed over and drink it down in big gulps.

After dinner, Ranran wandered from the living room to the small room, walking back and forth several times. Only after Li Sheng finished cleaning the kitchen did Ranran go to her little room, come out hugging her clothes, rub her eyes, and yawn. “Mommy, bath time.”

“Miss Mo, sit in the living room for a while. I’ll help Ranran take a bath.” Li Sheng walked over, but Ranran took two steps back. Her eyes were filled with expectation as she asked, “I want Auntie Mo to help Ranran take a bath.”

Mo Yueshuang was a little nervous. She had not had much contact with children, so helping a child bathe was rather difficult for her.

“Miss Mo is a guest.” Li Sheng’s voice was somewhat serious. Ranran pouted but did not dare say more. She took the initiative to step forward, held Li Sheng’s hand, and went to the bathroom together with Li Sheng.

Inside the bathroom, the mother and daughter whispered to each other while bathing.

Ranran rested her thin arms and small hands on the edge of the bathtub, lying there comfortably. Li Sheng worked without complaint, squeezing out shower gel and washing bubbles for her.

“Mommy, can we keep Auntie Mo in our house?”

“No.”

“Mommy, does Auntie Mo have children?”

“No.”

“Can I be Auntie Mo’s child?”

“…”

Without another word, Li Sheng picked up the shower head and turned it on, rinsing Little Ranran all over.

“Wu~ Mommy, ah, Mommy… Ranran is drowning.” This was a game Li Sheng often played when helping the child bathe. Ranran was not afraid at all and even liked it very much. It was just that after all this playing around, a large part of Li Sheng’s clothes became wet.

Ranran wiped her little hand from her forehead down to her chin, shook off the water, and smiled at Li Sheng. “Mommy, bad!”

“Mm.” The corners of Li Sheng’s lips curved as she smiled. The unhappy feeling in her heart that her daughter had somehow been stolen away disappeared.

She calmed down and asked Ranran seriously, “Ranran, do you like Mo Yueshuang?”

“Mm!”

“Then what do you think of the gentleman you saw today?”
