After Transmigrating as the Vicious Female Supporting Character, I Ran Away While Pregnant - Chapter 26.1

Li Sheng spent the whole morning thinking about Mo Yueshuang’s matter and did not notice that Chi Yunman and her best friend, who were supposed to come, had not arrived.

Only in the afternoon, when Li Sheng was about to leave early to pick Ranran up and went to say goodbye to Mo Yueshuang, did she happen to hear Xie Shixian ask Mo Yueshuang whether she was going to Guan Anru’s appointment later.

Li Sheng heard this and remembered it. Her expression remained normal, without much change, as she said to Mo Yueshuang, “The family portrait Ranran drew last time received full marks. To thank you, Ranran said she wants to invite you to dinner tonight. Are you free?”

For tonight’s appointment, Mo Yueshuang wanted to meet Li Sheng more, but she had already agreed to Guan Anru’s invitation, and she also had serious business to say clearly to Guan Anru. At that moment, she could only harden her heart and refuse Li Sheng.

“Sorry, I already have an appointment tonight.”

“Oh. I wish you a pleasant date.” Li Sheng responded, then left with a cold expression.

Mo Yueshuang felt a little nervous and uneasy. Subconsciously, she asked Xie Shixian, “Is she angry?”

Xie Shixian shook her head. She did not look angry. Rather, she looked like a little girlfriend throwing a tantrum. Of course, Xie Shixian would not say that to Mo Yueshuang.

Li Sheng picked up Ranran at the kindergarten. Very soon, she received a message from Ji Ruodong.

Ji Ruodong: Guan Anru and Mo Yueshuang are in the Tianzi private room on the north side of the second floor at Yutian Banquet. Go quickly.

Li Sheng turned off her phone, picked up the child, and got into the car.

“Mommy? Aren’t we going home?”

Ranran remembered that the way home was to the left, but now Li Sheng was driving to the right.

Li Sheng smiled at Ranran and said, “We’re not going home for dinner today. We’re going outside to eat delicious food. Do you remember Yutian Banquet, the place we went to last time? Didn’t Ranran really like that dish called Family Reunion? Let’s go there again today, okay?”

Being able to eat delicious food, Ranran had nothing else to say. She happily clapped her hands in the back seat.

Very soon, Ranran asked Li Sheng, “Mommy, is Auntie Mo going?”

She remembered that Yutian Banquet was very close to the production crew, so they should be able to invite Mo Yueshuang over. Li Sheng regretfully told her little treasure, “Mommy already invited her, but your Auntie Mo has an appointment with someone else tonight.”

Ranran felt a little disappointed, but the joy of being able to happily enjoy delicious food together with Li Sheng diluted that disappointment. Gradually, Ranran forgot the regret that Mo Yueshuang could not come.

After arriving, Li Sheng parked the car and carried Ranran into Yutian Banquet.

The banquet hall on the first floor was open every day. On the north side of the second floor, there were three rooms, but they required advance reservation, or one had to be a senior member of Yutian Banquet to enter at will.

The west and south sections of the second floor were specially reserved for official families, while the east section was closed all year round. It was said to be kept for special guests.

Before Li Sheng came, Ji Ruodong had sent her a senior membership card number as soon as she arrived here. After it was verified, she was led inside.

She just happened to be arranged in the room next to the private room Guan Anru had booked. Ranran sat in the chair waiting to eat, while Li Sheng carefully paid attention to the movement next door. Unfortunately, the soundproofing here was excellent. Forget hearing movement—even if the two people next door started arguing, she would not be able to hear anything.

Li Sheng left the door half-open and kept paying attention to the movement outside. When Ranran became impatient from waiting and took out her workbook from her little schoolbag, Li Sheng finally saw Mo Yueshuang and Guan Anru coming over, talking and laughing.

Li Sheng quickly went to Ranran’s side and said to her, “I want to go to the restroom. Can Ranran come with me?”

“Of course, Mommy. I’ll go with you.”

Ranran packed up her things, held Li Sheng’s hand, and went out with her. They just happened to run into Mo Yueshuang and Guan Anru at the doorway.

Li Sheng looked at them and smiled politely without really smiling. “What a coincidence. You two came here to eat too.”

When Mo Yueshuang saw Li Sheng and Ranran, she suddenly felt a strange discomfort, as if… she had been caught cheating.

“Auntie Mo~”

Fortunately, there was a child here to act as a mediator, so Mo Yueshuang did not feel too awkward.

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that last time here, when she had been entangled by Ji Ruodong, she had also just happened to run into Li Sheng and Ranran.

Ranran held Li Sheng’s hand and looked up at Li Sheng. Li Sheng noticed Ranran’s little movement, so she picked Ranran up and said to Guan Anru and Mo Yueshuang, “Sorry, we’ll go to the restroom first. We won’t disturb your date.”

Mo Yueshuang’s mood sank to the extreme. In the afternoon, Li Sheng had invited her and been refused. At night, Li Sheng saw her and Guan Anru appearing here together. Li Sheng was probably going to misunderstand her and Guan Anru.

“Let’s go.”

When Guan Anru was not facing people he disliked, he could still be polite and maintain the bearing of a great family.

His expression, which had collapsed slightly because of running into Li Sheng just now, quickly recovered after Li Sheng left. Now, he still maintained the image of a graceful young master.

Mo Yueshuang only wanted to quickly make things clear to Guan Anru, then explain to Li Sheng when she met her again.

Although there might be no need to explain to Li Sheng, Mo Yueshuang did not want her to misunderstand.

Li Sheng dawdled with Ranran in the restroom for a while. Only when she estimated that they had probably left did she bring Ranran out.

On the way, Ranran asked Li Sheng.

“Mommy, why isn’t Auntie Mo eating with us?” Ranran stayed in Li Sheng’s arms, touching her fingers together. “That uncle just now was so fierce.”

Because he disliked Li Sheng, he naturally had no interest in Li Sheng’s cub either. What was more, the child was even a bastard. Guan Anru hated illegitimate children without proper names or status, because there were far too many of those kinds of people in his own family, people who called themselves his younger brothers and sisters, when in reality, he had barely even met them. All of them were only after his family’s assets.

Although the Li family was rich enough to rival a nation, Li Sheng’s child was still a bastard.

Fortunately, Li Sheng could not read minds. Otherwise, Guan Anru’s skull would already have been split open by now.

…

“Mr. Guan, I…”

“Ai! Didn’t we agree last time? Call me Anru.” Guan Anru still cared very much about how Mo Yueshuang addressed him. But when he thought that he was about to confess and bring the beauty home, even this concern was joyful.

Mo Yueshuang did not call him that again. She said, “Did you invite me to dinner today because there’s something you want to say to me?”

“Mm, there is. A very important matter concerning you and me. Should I say that you’re as clever as ice and snow and knew in advance, or should I say that our hearts are connected, and you understand everything I’m thinking?”

The young master was very gentle. Although there was a teasing meaning in his tone, his attitude was proper and natural, unlike the mockery of other playboy young masters.

But no matter how well Guan Anru did it, when Mo Yueshuang listened to these words, she still subconsciously wanted to avoid and escape.

“But there’s no rush to say it yet. Yutian Banquet has released new dishes again. Let’s eat first.”

Guan Anru waited as the dishes were delivered one by one. Mo Yueshuang grew more and more restless.

She was waiting for Guan Anru to make things clear so that she could directly explain her own meaning. Unfortunately, Guan Anru dragged things out, and half an hour passed.

Li Sheng and Ranran had eaten next door for half an hour. Ranran’s little belly was already full, and she threw herself into Li Sheng’s arms, asking Li Sheng to gently rub it for her.

Ranran stuck out her little pink tongue and acted cute toward Li Sheng. Li Sheng could not withstand it and even stopped herself from lecturing her, dutifully serving the little princess.

Li Sheng was still somewhat unclear on why she had been so possessed that she listened to Ji Ruodong’s words and came here to block someone.

Next door, the date was probably going on passionately, while she was here with the child, tutoring kindergarten homework. What was she trying to achieve?

Li Sheng could not hold back anymore. She brought Ranran and prepared to leave. The moment she opened the door, she saw a group of people outside carrying musical instruments into the private room next door.

There were two long rows of people, each holding expensive flowers. Li Sheng could tell that each flower must cost more than a thousand. With so many flowers, was he planning to bury Mo Yueshuang in them?

“Mommy, what are they doing?” Ranran stood beside Li Sheng’s legs. The little bean hugged Li Sheng’s leg tightly as she looked at the festive procession in the corridor.

Li Sheng lowered her head and looked at the little dumpling: They’re helping a big pig trotter woo your mom.

“Maybe the Mr. Guan next door is going to confess to your Auntie Mo,” Li Sheng explained. Ranran nodded, half-understanding, and asked, “What is confess?”

Li Sheng explained it to Ranran again. Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the little one’s mouth drooped and tears fell. But she did not cry out. She just looked at Li Sheng pitifully.

Li Sheng scooped Ranran up into her arms. “Don’t cry. Mommy is here with you.”

“Mm.” Ranran lay in Li Sheng’s arms, listlessly humming in a muffled voice.

Li Sheng felt sorry for the child, but Mo Yueshuang did not know about this matter. Perhaps even if she told Mo Yueshuang, it was hard to say whether Mo Yueshuang could accept it. It was better to suppress this matter for now and not mention it.

Mo Yueshuang had not expected Guan Anru to make such a grand display. She had thought that Guan Anru would say what he wanted to say, she would explain herself clearly, and it would end there.

Now, so many people had come here. Music slowly sounded, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air. The entire atmosphere had been created just right. If it were someone else sitting here, they might have accepted Guan Anru.

After all, the man across from her could be called excellent in every way.

Unfortunately, she could not agree, because she did not like him, and also because she faintly sensed that someone had already quietly moved into her heart.

“Yueshuang, I love you. Can you give me a chance to protect you and stay by your side?”

Guan Anru’s words were sincere and deeply affectionate. His eyes were filled with gentle emotion. But Mo Yueshuang was not moved by it. Instead, she felt rather awkward being confessed to in front of so many people.

“Will you accept my love?”

“Sorry, Mr. Guan. I don’t like you. Compared to lovers, I think we are more suitable as friends.”

After Mo Yueshuang finished speaking, she heard the music at the scene stop. Guan Anru waved his hand, and those people who had been cooperating with the music rushed out in a great wave.

Only she and Guan Anru were left here. Mo Yueshuang felt the burden in her heart lessen a little, and her emotions relaxed along with it.

“Why?” Guan Anru stared at her with a burning gaze, as if he wanted to see through her.

Before Mo Yueshuang could answer, Guan Anru anxiously asked, “Because of Ji Ruodong? Rumors say you were with Ji Ruodong before. Could it be that you still can’t forget him?”

Rumors?

“I’ve never heard of this rumor, and I’ve never had any relationship with Mr. Ji.” Mo Yueshuang did not know what she had done wrong. This year, romantic attention kept coming one after another, and not a single one was what she wanted.

Guan Anru felt somewhat dejected and disappointed. But hearing Mo Yueshuang say that she had no relationship with Ji Ruodong, Guan Anru pulled himself together again. He clenched his fist and continued maintaining a gentle smile.

“It’s fine. You only don’t like me right now.” Guan Anru decided to fight a prolonged battle. He believed that as long as he persisted, even the coldest and hardest heart could be warmed by him.

“I won’t in the future either, Mr. Guan.” Mo Yueshuang suddenly felt very relaxed. After so long, Guan Anru had finally made things clear, and she could also clearly reject him. “I already have someone I like.”

The moment these words came out, they were like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, blasting Guan Anru until his soul became unsteady. He forgot his upbringing and manners, grabbed Mo Yueshuang’s wrist, and questioned her in a forcing manner, “Who? Who do you like?”
