After Transmigrating as the Vicious Female Supporting Character, I Ran Away While Pregnant - Chapter 8

The contract had been signed. Director Wen ordered a large table full of delicious dishes, but he did not stay to enjoy them with Mo Yueshuang. He waved his hand while yawning. “It’s my treat. Eat as much as you like. I have to go back and catch up on sleep first. The production crew will hold the opening ceremony on the fourth of next month. You understand the rules, so I won’t say more.”

“Director Wen, I’ll see you out.”

Mo Yueshuang stood up. Wen Tingzong waved his hand. “No need, no need. Seeing people off is too troublesome. You eat yours, and I’ll go back and sleep mine.”

Although he said that, Mo Yueshuang still saw him to the door. But unfortunately, they happened to be seen by Ji Ruodong, who had just finished discussing a partnership and was preparing to leave.

However, neither Mo Yueshuang nor Wen Tingzong saw him. After Wen Tingzong left, Mo Yueshuang planned to call Chen Yue in to eat before leaving, but unexpectedly, Ji Ruodong stopped her.

“President Ji. What are you…?”

Mo Yueshuang was blocked by Ji Ruodong. Ji Ruodong pressed forward step by step, until Mo Yueshuang’s back was against the wall and there was nowhere left to retreat. Only then did Ji Ruodong brace his arm against the wall, looking from afar like a beautiful kabedon scene.

But Mo Yueshuang, who was inside this scene, was utterly disgusted by it. If this person were not a wealthy CEO with a net worth of hundreds of millions whom she could not afford to provoke, she truly wanted to swing her fists and smash a few punches into this nauseating pig head.

“Mo Yueshuang, you rejected me, yet you’re here secretly meeting a director. Your pure act isn’t very convincing.”

“President Ji, I think you’ve misunderstood.” Mo Yueshuang looked directly into Ji Ruodong’s eyes. Everyone said that one glance at President Ji would ruin a person for life, and that Ji Ruodong’s eyes could hook people in. Mo Yueshuang looked carefully for a while, but only found her own reflection inside. She did not see any so-called soul-stirring charm.

Mo Yueshuang reached out to push him away. Her soft, delicate female palm pressed against Ji Ruodong’s chest, but not only did it fail to make Ji Ruodong move even half a step away, it instead made him mistakenly think that Mo Yueshuang was using this chance to get close to him.

Inside the elevator, Li Sheng held Li Ran’s little hand. Li Ran followed closely beside Mommy, raising her little face curiously as she asked, “Mommy, why does Little Uncle Guan’s doggy need surgery? Is it sick?”

“It isn’t sick, but it’s about to grow up. Your Little Uncle Guan is afraid of unexpected little lives appearing, so he has to take A-Fei to have a neutering surgery.”

“Mommy, why? What is neutering surgery?”

“Because when little dogs grow up, they will have heat periods and may harass other dogs. Your Little Uncle Guan is afraid of trouble, and also afraid that it will harm A-Fei’s health, so he has to take it for surgery.”

“Mommy, what is heat—”

Before Little Ranran could finish speaking, Li Sheng picked her up and planned to turn around and take Ranran back.

Because Li Sheng had seen Ji Ruodong. Before she was certain whether Ranran was Ji Ruodong’s child, Li Sheng did not plan to let them meet.

Unfortunately, Little Ranran, who had been picked up, saw Mo Yueshuang.

“Mama… Auntie Mo! Mommy, put me down. I saw Auntie Mo.”

Ranran struggled in Li Sheng’s arms, kicking her little legs because she wanted to get down and walk. Li Sheng sighed. What should come would always come. It could not be avoided even if she hid.

After she put Little Ranran down, she saw her shoot toward Mo Yueshuang like an arrow released from a bow.

Someone was coming over, and there was even a child. No matter how much of a domineering CEO Ji Ruodong was, he could not withstand the embarrassment of being watched by others.

He quickly withdrew his hand and raised it to straighten his collar and tie. Only when Li Sheng walked a little closer did he clearly see this person and connect her to the small figure in his memories.

“You are… Li Sheng?”

Ji Ruodong was actually quite happy to see Li Sheng. “When did you return to the country? Why didn’t you tell me? I could have picked you up.”

“President Ji handles countless affairs every day. For such a small matter, I thought there was no need to inform you.”

Li Sheng said this calmly. Ji Ruodong thought she was still holding a grudge over what happened back then, and a trace of apology appeared in his eyes. “Shengsheng, we grew up together. I really did treat you like my own little sister. Back then, I was wrong. My words were too harsh and hurt your heart. Now that you’re back, Brother Ruodong will treat you and apologize properly to our little A-Sheng, all right?”

“President Ji, I am an only daughter. I do not have any brothers or sisters.” Li Sheng only knew that in the novel, Li Sheng had been in love with Ji Ruodong since childhood, but she had not expected Ji Ruodong’s relationship with her to be fairly good too. Judging from this intimacy and familiarity, and the way he lowered his posture to coax her, Ji Ruodong might really have treated Li Sheng as a younger sister.

Li Sheng could only inwardly sigh that wealthy families had plenty of melodrama. Refusing the reconciliation signal Ji Ruodong had sent, she turned sideways and said to Mo Yueshuang, “Miss Mo, what a coincidence. We meet again.”

Mo Yueshuang was still surprised that Li Sheng and Ji Ruodong knew each other, and that their relationship looked rather good. Hearing Li Sheng greet her, Mo Yueshuang finally came back to herself and returned a smiling greeting.

“Hello, Miss Li. I also didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence, meeting you here.” And in such an awkward situation too. She wondered if Li Sheng would misunderstand and think she was the kind of person who climbed onto powerful people.

Li Sheng knew the plot, so of course she understood that this was Ji Ruodong pestering and coercing Mo Yueshuang. Because of this, her gaze toward Mo Yueshuang held a bit more sympathy and admiration.

Li Ran grabbed Mo Yueshuang’s finger and shook it. “Auntie Mo, don’t only talk to Mommy. Look at me. I’m Ranran.”

Li Ran still wanted to call her Mama, but after being properly educated by Li Sheng, she only dared to call her Auntie Mo now.

Ranran’s voice attracted everyone’s attention. Mo Yueshuang crouched down and kept her gaze level with Ranran’s. Seeing the little angel also made her very happy. After chatting with the child in childish words for a while, the irritation caused by Ji Ruodong’s pestering gradually calmed down.

Mommy?

Ji Ruodong looked at the little bean beside his leg in disbelief. He could not even care about gentlemanly manners and pulled Li Sheng away, walking a few steps farther before asking Li Sheng, “That is your child?”

“Mm.”

“When did that happen?”

“Five years ago. I found out I was pregnant, so I went abroad.” Li Sheng said it very lightly, but Ji Ruodong connected it to that incident from back then. He felt ashamed, angry, and regretful. “Shengsheng, I’m sorry!”

Five years ago, Li Sheng had suddenly seemed to go crazy and announced to everyone that she had fallen in love with him.

She was a younger sister from a family close to his, whom he had watched grow up since childhood. Of course Ji Ruodong could not reject her like those other women who threw themselves into his arms. So he had hinted and directly stated that he only felt sibling affection toward her, but Li Sheng kept insisting that she liked him and would marry no one but him.

That day, after he finished discussing a partnership, he returned to the hotel, only for Li Sheng to come looking for him. He used an excuse to avoid her, then went straight home.

Although he had left two bodyguards there to protect Li Sheng, those two bodyguards were both killed. Li Sheng’s whereabouts became unknown. Later, although Li Sheng returned home, her entire expression had changed greatly. After that came the news that Li Sheng had gone abroad.

Looking at the current Li Sheng again, Ji Ruodong saw coldness and distance in her eyes. The girl who had once been lively, cheerful, and loved to smile now looked at everything with calm indifference, as if she had already seen through life and death.

Ji Ruodong’s heart ached faintly. Back then, if he had not avoided her and left, if he had not left Li Sheng there alone, Li Sheng would not have become like this now.

Li Sheng did not know what Ji Ruodong was spacing out and thinking about in front of her. Her gaze drifted vaguely before finally stopping on Mo Yueshuang.

Mo Yueshuang with her guard down. Mo Yueshuang speaking childish words with a child. Mo Yueshuang whose eyes shimmered with starlight when she smiled.

“President Ji, it’s getting late. I still need to take Ranran to see a kindergarten.”

“Mm, all right.” When Ji Ruodong faced Li Sheng again, he was like a frost-beaten eggplant, listless and wilted.

Seeing Li Sheng and Ji Ruodong return, Mo Yueshuang also stopped chatting with Li Ran and stood up, calmly looking at Li Sheng.

Li Sheng suddenly thought of the scene from earlier, where Ji Ruodong had been pestering Mo Yueshuang. Her eyes changed slightly, and her tone was not very friendly as she said, “President Ji, we’ll leave first.”

After saying this, she reached her hand out toward Ranran. Ranran looked at Mo Yueshuang reluctantly.

Li Sheng simply said, “Ranran, we’re going to see the kindergarten. Say goodbye to your godmother first. When we have time, Mommy will take you to your godmother’s house to play.”

Ranran had already learned what godmother meant, but she did not quite understand why Li Sheng said that. However, Li Sheng had relaxed and allowed her to call Mo Yueshuang “Mama,” which made Little Ranran very happy.

She opened her little chest and hugged Mo Yueshuang’s leg. “Mama~ Ranran is going to see the kindergarten first. When Ranran learns lots of knowledge and earns lots and lots of money in the future, I’ll buy Nona dolls for Mama!”

Ji Ruodong looked somewhat confused at this touching scene of mother and daughter parting. He turned his head and asked Li Sheng, “Your daughter recognized Miss Mo as her godmother?”

“Mm. Ranran likes Miss Mo. Miss Mo also likes Ranran very much.”

“I see. That’s quite good.”

No matter how Ji Ruodong looked at it, he felt somewhat disappointed. Out of consideration for Li Sheng, he could no longer use force on Mo Yueshuang. For the child’s sake, he should also give Mo Yueshuang some respect.

There was always a sense of loss, as if a duck that had reached his mouth had flown away.

Mo Yueshuang, who had suddenly become a mother, was a little stunned at first, but she quickly reacted. Li Sheng had seen the earlier scene and was now helping her out, afraid that after she left, Ji Ruodong would come pester her again.

Mo Yueshuang was grateful to Li Sheng, and she was also anxious to leave this place. Ignoring the fact that there was still a large table of delicacies inside that she had not tasted, she called out to Li Sheng, “I’ll go with you.”

Li Sheng turned back to look at Mo Yueshuang. It was true that she had helped Mo Yueshuang out for Ranran’s sake, but that did not mean she wanted to keep this tragic female lead by her side.

“Mommy, Mommy~”

Little Ranran could not have asked for more. Her little head rubbed against Li Sheng’s neck, and her soft little-girl voice urged Li Sheng to quickly agree.

Li Sheng could only agree helplessly. “Then I’ll trouble Miss Mo.”

The three of them were about to leave. Before leaving, Li Sheng politely said goodbye to Ji Ruodong. “President Ji, we’ll leave first.”

“All right. Shengsheng, be careful on the road. Drive slowly.”

The atmosphere in the car could not be considered awkward. At least, Ranran was very happy leaning close against Mo Yueshuang. Her little head was filled with many strange and wonderful ideas, and now she poured them all out to Mo Yueshuang.

Li Sheng had not known that her daughter had such a lively side.

When they arrived at the kindergarten Guan Tai had helped arrange an appointment with, Li Sheng opened the back-seat door and smiled helplessly. “Little Friend Ranran, we have arrived at our destination. Please get out of the car.”

Ranran tightened her grip on Mo Yueshuang’s hand and asked Li Sheng, “Can Auntie Mo get out of the car too? Is Auntie Mo going with Ranran?”

Ranran knew that Mo Yueshuang was a celebrity, and she also understood some of the reasoning that celebrities could not show themselves in public. So although she really wanted Mo Yueshuang to accompany her, she still had to ask for Li Sheng’s and Mo Yueshuang’s opinions first.

Li Sheng did not answer and waited for Mo Yueshuang to speak.

Mo Yueshuang could not bear to refuse. She smiled softly and nodded in agreement. “I’ll accompany Ranran. Ranran, let go of my hand for a moment first, okay?”

Li Ran obediently let go. Mo Yueshuang took a mask out of her bag and put it on. This should cover her somewhat, so she would not be recognized as the female star Mo Yueshuang.

After Mo Yueshuang and Ranran got out of the car, Li Sheng somewhat awkwardly handed Mo Yueshuang a pair of sunglasses. “A friend gave them to me. I haven’t used them before.”

Ji Ruodong: My original future wife, Mo Yueshuang, and my original devoted fangirl, Li Sheng, brought a child and showed off their affection right in front of me. I’m such a miserable domineering CEO.
