After Transmigrating as the Vicious Female Supporting Character, I Ran Away While Pregnant - Chapter 33.2
The two walked side by side on the way home. The road was not very far, but walking back after buying things was still a bit tiring. In the past, Li Sheng liked walking back and forth very much. Today, before setting out, she had asked Mo Yueshuang’s opinion, and only after Mo Yueshuang agreed did she choose to walk again.
“With so many things, we won’t be able to finish them, right?” Mo Yueshuang was dumbfounded. She remembered the first time she came to Li Sheng’s house for a meal, Li Sheng had still been so frugal that she was afraid the vegetables would go bad and had wanted to split half for Mo Yueshuang to take away.
Some of these snacks were ready-to-eat foods, and their shelf life was not long. Maybe only two or three days, at most a week.
Li Sheng also realized that she had bought a little too much. She frowned with some distress, but soon relaxed. “They’re all things you like. It doesn’t matter if we buy a bit more.”
They were indeed things Mo Yueshuang wanted to try, because after entering the snack section, her gaze had lingered over these items. She had not expected Li Sheng to notice and buy them all.
For the first time in her life, Mo Yueshuang liked this feeling of being catered to and taken care of. She placed the two bags in one hand, freeing the other hand to naturally hold Li Sheng’s arm.
Li Sheng was slightly stunned, then relaxed her body and let Mo Yueshuang hold her arm.
“Should we bring Ranran back?”
Mo Yueshuang asked her. She had not seen little angel Ranran for some time. It was said that children were forgetful. She wondered if Ranran had been fascinated by new things and forgotten her.
“After dinner, I’ll call her. If she wants to come back, I’ll go pick her up. If she still wants to stay at Uncle’s place, then let her play there a few more days.”
Speaking of it, she missed Ranran very much, but next, she had to accompany Mo Yueshuang to and from the psychology clinic. Bringing Ranran along would not be very convenient.
That night, after dinner, Mo Yueshuang urged Li Sheng to call Ranran. She could not wait to see Ranran. She could not explain why, but the first time she saw that child, she had liked her very much.
Li Sheng sent Ranran a video call. In the end, the one who answered was flashy Li Junhao.
Half his face was painted with seductive peach-blossom demon makeup, while the other half was clean and looked like the cold face of another person.
“Little Shengsheng, why did you suddenly think of calling your brother?”
Seeing him like that, Li Sheng could not stand it and shifted her gaze away. At this moment, Li Junhao noticed that there was someone beside Li Sheng. Coincidentally, he recognized her.
Because Ranran often mentioned Auntie Mo, he had asked carefully and also investigated her.
“Miss Mo, good evening.”
“Good evening, Mr. Li.” Even Mo Yueshuang, who was used to all kinds of unusual makeup, was startled when she first saw Li Junhao’s half face. Pink shattered peach petals were painted across half his face, one piece after another, as if they had been pasted on, and also as if they were growing out of his skin and about to fall off.
It made goosebumps rise on one’s body.
“Where is Ranran?”
Li Sheng did not have a good expression toward this person. Li Junhao looked very wounded. “Little Shengsheng, you’re too unfriendly to your brother.”
“Where is Ranran?” Li Sheng could accept so-called split personalities and also understand those secondary personalities, but she still did not like this demon.
Li Junhao laughed darkly. “These days have truly suffocated your brother. In order to take care of that little one, I can only come out at night. Tell me, why? I’m clearly also Li Junhao.”
“Just don’t scare Ranran. Besides, you come out for only a few hours at most. What difference is there between daytime and nighttime?” Li Sheng could not understand.
Li Junhao’s expression was a little hurt. He suddenly leaned closer to the camera and carefully looked at his eye makeup. “Aiya, it seems a little smudged.”
Mo Yueshuang looked at Li Junhao nervously. This was Li Sheng’s elder brother? The eldest son of the richest Li family… adopted son? Why did he look so strange?
“I won’t talk to you anymore. It’s time. Brother has a meeting tomorrow. Little Shengsheng should rest early too.” Li Junhao lay down just like that with his peach-blossom demon makeup. After properly covering himself with the blanket, he hung up the tablet video call.
Mo Yueshuang video-called with such a person in the middle of the night, and her little heart received a shock. She moved closer to Li Sheng in fear.
After Li Sheng came to this world, she had also met Li Junhao several times. Because she had already known about Li Junhao from the novel, she had been mentally prepared for his appearance. But suddenly seeing the other personality still gave Li Sheng’s heart quite a shock.
Later, she slowly got used to it. So when she saw Li Junhao’s makeup afterward, she only felt it was slightly painful to look at, not frightening.
When Mo Yueshuang moved closer to her, Li Sheng had just put away the tablet. Her body moved slightly, and her elbow accidentally touched the softest part of Mo Yueshuang’s body.
Li Sheng instantly did not dare move. Her mind was cleared with one click again, leaving only Mo Yueshuang and the most direct tactile sensation her body had felt.
It really was very soft.
This time, Mo Yueshuang had not deliberately seduced her, and she had not prepared herself mentally either. When contact suddenly happened, Mo Yueshuang also hesitated for a moment. Fortunately, Li Sheng was still in a daze, so Mo Yueshuang had a few seconds to adjust herself. After adjusting, she once again became that delicate, shy little white flower.
When Li Sheng turned her head to look at her, Mo Yueshuang pretended not to know anything and continued leaning against her.
“Li Sheng, that person just now…”
“He’s my brother. Li Junhao.” Li Sheng was thinking about whether she should explain in more detail. She glanced sideways and saw that Mo Yueshuang was waiting for what she would say next.
Li Sheng thought that even though they were currently only pretending to be temporary lovers, Mo Yueshuang was still Ranran’s other mother no matter what. It was only right to introduce Ranran’s uncle to her.
After finding herself a reason, Li Sheng said everything that should and should not be said.
After hearing Li Junhao’s story, Mo Yueshuang suddenly felt some sympathy for the man in the video just now. A favored son of heaven had become like this because of family struggles. Li Junhao’s heart must not feel good, and Li Sheng must also feel very sad. After all, he was her older brother.
Li Sheng did not sympathize much with Li Junhao’s experiences. They were all people who had suffered setbacks and trauma in childhood. She could barely take care of herself and had no extra kindness to offer sympathy. But it was indeed a pity that someone like Li Junhao could not inherit the Li family.
If Li Junhao could, there would be less internal fighting in the Li family. Second Master’s branch could also settle down for several decades, and she would not need to guard against someone turning their attention to her and Ranran.
“Then Ranran, she…” Mo Yueshuang was very worried. Although Li Junhao seemed very pitiful, he was still mentally ill after all. What if Ranran was in some danger there?
As soon as Mo Yueshuang finished speaking, Li Sheng received a message from Li Junhao.
“Ranran is already asleep. Mom and Dad are coming tomorrow.”
When Li Sheng saw the words “Mom and Dad,” her brows furrowed slightly. Her emotions were rarely exposed.
“What’s wrong?”
“It’s all troublesome matters. We’ll talk about it later. It’s late. You need to rest properly.”
It was obvious that Li Sheng was avoiding this topic. Mo Yueshuang felt that with their current relationship, it was already not easy for Li Sheng to tell her about Li Junhao. She did not extravagantly hope to know more.
The next morning, after Li Sheng and Mo Yueshuang finished breakfast, they officially entered girlfriend mode.
Mo Yueshuang asked Li Sheng to go pick up Ranran, while under Chen Yue’s arrangement, she had a fan meeting. Because she had had an accident on set, the internet was buzzing with discussion, and some fans who liked her were very worried about her.
In order to appease the fans and repay their affection, Chen Yue and Zheng Yusheng arranged this fan meeting.
Originally, it had been scheduled for the day after tomorrow, but at that time Mo Yueshuang had to go to the clinic, so it was moved up by two days.
“Have the bodyguards all been arranged?” Li Sheng asked her uneasily. Mo Yueshuang promised repeatedly, “Don’t worry. The number of bodyguards has been doubled. They will definitely protect me well.”
Li Sheng still was not very reassured. In her eyes, Mo Yueshuang was a walking accident generator. From the time they met until now, there had been major incidents like the mountain kidnapping a few days ago, and minor incidents like the car accident scrape during their first meeting. There had also been Mo Yueshuang encountering her bastard brother in the parking garage, Mo Yueshuang encountering gangster Ji Ruodong at the hotel, and even black material appearing out of nowhere while she sat at home.
Such a Mo Yueshuang truly made it impossible for her to feel at ease.
“Are you really that worried?” Mo Yueshuang teased her. Seeing Li Sheng suddenly change attitude and seriously care about her as a girlfriend, Mo Yueshuang worked hard to adapt while feeling Li Sheng’s warmth even more deeply.
“If you’re that worried, do you want to come with me to take a look? After you see it and confirm there’s really nothing wrong, then you can go?” Mo Yueshuang only made this suggestion like a joke. She knew how important Ranran was in Li Sheng’s heart. Since Li Sheng had already said she would pick Ranran up this morning, she definitely would not change her mind.
Mo Yueshuang smiled and was about to unbuckle her seat belt and get out of the car. But when her hand landed on the seat belt, Li Sheng held it.
“Mm?” Mo Yueshuang looked at her in surprise. Li Sheng coughed softly to cover up her unnatural little thoughts. “It seems to be on the way. I’ll send you over.”
Li Sheng parked the car far away. She took out a mask and handed it to Mo Yueshuang. “Put it on. I’ll send you over.”
Mo Yueshuang looked at the black mask and smiled foolishly. “Are you really this worried?”
This fan meeting had been arranged very well. A professional security company had been hired, and the number of bodyguards had also been multiplied. But unexpectedly, Li Sheng was still very worried about her.
Mo Yueshuang did not feel that Li Sheng was too nervous or making a fuss over nothing. Her heart was soft and warm as she felt Li Sheng’s concern.
The two got out of the car. When sharp-eyed fans noticed them, Mo Yueshuang and Li Sheng had already been surrounded by bodyguards.
Although the fans could not come into close contact with her, they were already extremely happy to look at her like this from behind the bodyguards.
“Shuangshuang! We love you!”
“I heard you were injured. Is it serious? Are you okay?”
“Shuangshuang, is your injury serious?”
“Goddess, are the injuries on your body healed?”
“Shuangshuang, don’t be afraid. We’ll always stay with you.”
The warmth from the fans came over. Mo Yueshuang recalled the road she had walked over the years. Many times, when she had almost been unable to hold on, it had been these people who liked her who had always supported her.
Mo Yueshuang was finally protected by the bodyguards and brought to the prepared stage for the meeting. Since Li Sheng had safely escorted her there, she felt relieved.
Li Sheng found a chance to leave, leaving the stage to Mo Yueshuang and the fans who liked her.
Li Sheng watched Mo Yueshuang stand in the center of the crowd. Once she appeared, all gazes were trapped on her. She was destined to remain on the stage. This kind of Mo Yueshuang was truly full of charm and fascination.
Mo Yueshuang was liked by so many people. For no reason, a wave of pride filled Li Sheng’s heart. It was just that so many people liked her, and a large group of them were girlfriend fans too.
After the concerned greetings from earlier were over, the crowd became noisy for a while. Then a female fan shouted loudly, “Goddess, I want to give birth to your baby!”
This sentence was shouted especially loudly, and Li Sheng heard it very clearly. She followed the voice and looked over. It was a girl holding a light board, looking youthful and tender.
Li Sheng withdrew her gaze, muttered softly, opened the car door, and drove away.
Li Sheng said, “Too late. Your goddess already has a baby with me. The child is already in junior kindergarten.”
Li Sheng drove to Li Junhao’s manor to pick up Ranran. After the car entered the manor, the butler led her to see Li Junhao. But Li Sheng did not like having someone follow her. It reminded her of the nightmare in the laboratory, where every time they let her out, they would still send someone to follow her step by step.
“No need to follow me. Go bring Ranran to the garden. I’ll wait for her there.”
The butler naturally obeyed Li Sheng’s words. After the butler left, Li Sheng went directly to the garden.
In truth, this manor was very large. It was the coming-of-age gift the Li family had given Li Junhao. Li Sheng also had one, but aside from staying there for a few months when she was eighteen, she had left it empty. She did not like such a large place having only her inside. Even with nannies, servants, and many bodyguards, being there alone often left her surrounded by loneliness.
The manor had several gardens. The back courtyard was connected to a mountain. The mountain had also been specially built up, with a horse track and running paths. Li Junhao’s place even had rockeries and landscaped gardens. This place was truly a little paradise of its own.
Li Sheng sat down in the pavilion in the garden. Very soon, maids dressed in fitting maid uniforms brought over snacks and drinks she liked.
“Wait.” Li Sheng suddenly called out to one of them. That person became a little nervous. However, someone who could work here had likely gone through layers of selection and training. The nervousness when facing Li Sheng, this heir, only existed for a very short instant. Very quickly, she steadied herself and waited for Li Sheng’s order in a perfect posture.
Li Sheng did not have any real order. She only asked her to take away all the snacks that had been brought.
The maid let out a tiny breath of relief. She had thought there would be some wealthy-family dog-blood struggle, and that Li Sheng, this eldest young lady, had specially come to make trouble for servants like them in order to annoy Li Junhao.
Li Sheng did not know that the departing maid had imagined all kinds of things. She looked at the time and discovered that half an hour had already passed since she entered the manor.
Li Sheng waved her hand. A servant standing in the distance waiting for orders immediately came over.
“Where is Ranran?” Li Sheng was somewhat displeased. “Why hasn’t she come yet?”
The technology era was truly convenient. He held a walkie-talkie and asked a few questions. Then he smiled apologetically at Li Sheng and said, “When you arrived, Little Miss was still sleeping. She has woken up now and is already on the way here.”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Li Sheng got up and planned to go find Ranran herself. Before coming, she had called Li Junhao, and Li Junhao had clearly said Ranran was playing games in the garden. How had she gone to sleep again?
The servant followed Li Sheng’s steps, staying by her side without getting too close or too far, maintaining a distance where Li Sheng could hear him clearly at a normal volume.
“Little Miss had breakfast with Sir. After Sir went to the company, Little Miss played in the garden for a while, then said she was sleepy. We arranged for her to rest. At that time, you happened to come over. It was our fault for not informing you in time, causing Miss to wait in the pavilion for nothing.”
Listening to the way they spoke made Li Sheng’s teeth ache. She really disliked this feeling.
Li Sheng did not answer. The servant also could not figure out Li Sheng’s temper. He only followed Li Sheng silently while sighing inwardly that the heir was indeed different. Her joy and anger did not show on her face. A single look from her could make cold sweat suddenly break out on someone’s body.
Since transmigrating here, Li Sheng had not gone to her own manor either. She was not afraid of loneliness, but when she imagined waking up in the morning and needing to go out, only to have to ride a small cart from the front courtyard to the front gate, her scalp tingled.
Li Sheng silently complained in her heart. After walking forward a few more steps, she saw Ranran wearing a little dress, her short little legs running over quickly.
“Mommy!”
