After Transmigrating Into A Cannon Fodder Scum A… Eh? ABO - Chapter 40

“However, I think the conditions listed in the contract are very worthwhile,” Fu Nanxuan said, looking down at the contract. When she looked up and saw Qi Mian’s tearful face, even though she knew it wasn’t her Qi Mian, she still flusteredly grabbed tissues for her.

“I’m sorry, I have a strong sense of empathy,” Qi Mian said in a low, hoarse voice, finding a reason. After drying her tears, she reached for the contract, signed directly in the blank space for Party B on the last page, took out her seal from her bag and stamped it, carefully affixing a perforated seal to each page.

“There should be another copy, two copies in total,” Qi Mian asked her.

Fu Nanxuan paused for a moment, walked to the desk and took out another copy of the contract. Qi Mian took it and repeated the same actions. Just as she was about to hand it to Fu Nanxuan, her hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, as if she had thought of something.

“I want to add a clause to the Party B terms,” Qi Mian reopened the contract, adding a supplement to the time section: “Need to meet for four hours on weekends,” and stamped it for confirmation. After signing both copies of the contract, she handed them to Fu Nanxuan.

“Let’s do this for now, but I don’t think the investment issue needs to be so urgent. It’s still prudent to evaluate it. This contract just gives the development project an investment opportunity. So I would like to see the detailed investment plan you mentioned before discussing it,” Qi Mian truly felt that she was not worthy. She hadn’t thought that the little things that seemed insignificant to her would be remembered by someone for so long.

“Now that the contract is signed, when will it start to be fulfilled? Is it a fixed date or an advance appointment?” Seeing that Fu Nanxuan seemed not very satisfied with what she said about the investment issue, Qi Mian didn’t give her time to explain.

“It depends on your convenient time, just let me know in advance when you want to come,” Fu Nanxuan knew that she had to balance her internship and studies, so everything was considered for Qi Mian’s convenience. What she didn’t expect was that her work was much busier than Qi Mian’s. Although she graduated from university early, she is currently a master’s student and still has studies to deal with. It’s just that the time is more flexible. “For weekends, is it okay to fix it on Saturday evenings?”

“Yes, okay,” No matter what Fu Nanxuan said now, Qi Mian would only agree. “The other three days, let’s tentatively fix them on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I’ll contact you before I come to the hotel. If you are busy, just let me know and we can change the date.”

“…Thank you,” Feeling that she seemed to be being accommodated, coupled with the calming sandalwood scent surrounding Fu Nanxuan, her mood gradually settled down. She originally thought that signing the contract today would not be too smooth, and at least the terms would have to be reviewed and revised once. Unexpectedly, Qi Mian signed it without saying anything in the end. The only request she made was to see the detailed plan first.

“I bought a house and will move in on Saturday,” Fu Nanxuan returned to the desk, found a set of keys and a door card, and walked over to hand them to her. “I’ll send you the address later. Just go directly there on Saturday.”

Qi Mian held the keys until she returned to the hotel lobby before she came back to her senses. In the bag in her left hand were the unfinished desserts and a newly signed contract.

A bellyful of things to say but no one to confide in. She could only guard this absurd secret alone, accompanying Fu Nanxuan, who was immersed in pain, as a substitute. Watching her suffer for her death, and also suffer because of her appearance.

Qi Mian had thought about hinting to the other party that she might be the same person, but Fu Nanxuan always firmly believed that she was dead. Qi Mian was also afraid that if she explicitly confessed, would it cause Fu Nanxuan’s story line to collapse again and die? She had no chips to gamble, and could only be in a dilemma with Fu Nanxuan, trapped in the vortex together.

She wondered if this was the punishment for choosing to leave in the first place?

On Saturday, according to the address given by Fu Nanxuan, she arrived at a relatively old community in the city center. Although it was in the city center and it was convenient to go there, there were better new communities nearby. Qi Mian was puzzled by the other party’s choice of house logic when comparing the addresses.

After going upstairs and reaching the address displayed by the resident, she felt a little familiar with the style of the door. Without thinking much, she took out the door lock password given to her on her phone and entered: “1453721…” After reading it, Qi Mian suddenly froze.

“Right, the door opening password is 1453721, don’t forget it.” She once pretended to be impatient and said this to Fu Nanxuan, asking her to remember the opening password.

Suddenly thinking of a certain possibility, she carefully looked at the style of the door again. “Exactly the same…” Qi Mian’s heart shrank. This time she quickly entered the password and pushed the door open to go in. Standing at the door, she was completely speechless.

The decoration and furnishings in the house were exactly the same as when she left that year. The location of the dining table, the sofa and coffee table, the number of rooms, the kitchen… Fu Nanxuan chose this place to find a house with the same layout.

Since she left four years ago, Fu Nanxuan has not walked out of here.

Fu Nanxuan heard the sound at the door and walked out of the room, seeing Qi Mian standing expressionlessly by the door. “Qi Mian? Why don’t you come in?”

Qi Mian noticed that Fu Nanxuan even walked out of the room she used to give her, which meant that the master bedroom was still empty. She barely suppressed the discomfort that swelled to her throat, put on a nonchalant smile and walked in. After closing the door, she changed into the slippers in the entrance, and unsurprisingly, they were also the pair she used to wear. Carrying her backpack, she politely stood by the dining table.

Seeing that Fu Nanxuan’s computer was connected to the screen and seemed to be working, she hesitantly asked, “Am I disturbing you?”

“No, it’s just a temporary meeting to confirm some things,” Fu Nanxuan walked to her side and took her backpack, placing it on the chair. Everything was as natural as before. “There are snacks and drinks in the refrigerator. If you are bored, you can also watch a movie first.”

She showed an apologetic expression: “I may have to work for a while. What do you want to eat for dinner?”

“It’s okay, you go ahead. I happen to have homework that I haven’t finished yet,” She opened her bag, took out her laptop and power cord, habitually walked to the carpet in front of the sofa and sat down, put the computer on the coffee table and connected the power cord, leaned against the sofa, and operated the computer.

Her relaxed and comfortable attitude made Fu Nanxuan relieved and reassured to work.

She originally thought that the meeting would not last too long, but she did not expect that the problems she found were increasing. Fu Nanxuan’s expression became colder and colder. After an ineffective meeting that lasted for an hour and a half, Fu Nanxuan impatiently asked them to confirm that there were no problems before coming to her, and decided to dismiss the meeting.

The people in the meeting withdrew one after another, until only Song Chuan remained. When Fu Nanxuan had unplugged the headset and was about to withdraw, Song Chuan’s voice came from the speaker: “CEO.”

Fu Nanxuan stopped clicking to exit the meeting. “Is there anything else?”

“CEO, you have been on a business trip for almost half a month. When do you plan to come back?” Song Chuan’s gentle voice was unusually clear in the quiet space.

Sitting by the sofa, Qi Mian, who was originally focused on doing her homework, stopped typing on the keyboard.

“I have other itineraries. I don’t plan to go back for the time being. The company’s affairs have been handed over to Liu Shaoang and Mainz. Contact me directly for a meeting if there is an emergency,” Fu Nanxuan replied to her coldly. Since the last office interrogation, Fu Nanxuan has maintained a distance from Song Chuan, even avoiding giving the other party room for misunderstanding in her words.

Song Chuan heard the other party’s defensiveness, replied with a “okay,” and exited the online meeting.

Fu Nanxuan leaned back in her chair, feeling a little irritable. This time, after the susceptible period stopped for a few days, symptoms reappeared, and the control effect of the injection of the inhibitor was not very effective. She quietly felt her physical state, and finally came to the conclusion that it was not suitable to be with Qi Mian tonight.

The the other party’s sandalwood pheromones were a great temptation for her. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she might lose control and do something unexpected that she didn’t want to do. Walking to the sofa, she found Qi Mian biting a lollipop and doing her homework. That familiar posture made Fu Nanxuan’s eyes flicker. “Qi Mian?”

“Hmm?” Qi Mian looked up at her. “Are you done with work?”

“…Yeah.” Fu Nanxuan took a deep breath to clear her head. “I’m not feeling well tonight, so I probably won’t be able to keep you company. Why don’t you head home?”

“Not feeling well?” Qi Mian frowned immediately, chewed up the last bit of candy, and threw the stick into the trash can. She stood up to look at her. “What’s suddenly wrong?”

The two of them were very close. Even though the Omega was wearing an suppression patch, Fu Nanxuan seemed to smell the scent emanating from her glands, attracting her. Her gaze gradually softened.

No longer caring about being embarrassed, Fu Nanxuan knew she had to let Qi Mian know the dangers of facing an Alpha. She took a step back and said, “My susceptible period has been a bit unstable lately, coming and going. This time, the inhibitor isn’t working very well.”

“You should go home first. I’ll be fine after a few days of rest.”

Qi Mian came closer, her eyes fixed on the glands behind her neck, and saw that the suppression patch did indeed have a wet appearance.

Her gaze was too direct, making Fu Nanxuan feel embarrassed and reach out to cover it. “Aren’t you leaving yet?” Her tone of voice when she spoke again was a little urgent.

“Fu Nanxuan,” Qi Mian said, looking at her. “Didn’t we sign a contract? In a mutually beneficial relationship, helping each other through the susceptible period also fits the spirit of the contract, right?” Seeing the surprised look on Fu Nanxuan’s face, she realized what she had said. She quickly added, “I just wanted to say that since you’re so uncomfortable during your susceptible period, I could try a shallow marking to soothe you with pheromones.”

Fu Nanxuan saw that Qi Mian’s eyes were becoming more and more moist, and her breathing rhythm was a little disordered. The sound of her heartbeat seemed to be ringing loudly in her ears, almost breaking her eardrums.

“How is it?”

“Don’t.”

The two spoke at the same time.

Qi Mian heard her refusal, and felt a very base sense of happiness, followed by anger.

“It’s really not necessary, thank you. You should go home first.” Fu Nanxuan’s tone was slightly cold as she issued an eviction order.

Knowing that she was uncomfortable and not wanting to bother her further, Qi Mian had no choice but to follow her wishes. She quickly packed up her things and left under Fu Nanxuan’s complicated gaze.

After the person really left, Fu Nanxuan, in discomfort, tore off the suppression patch and walked to the peephole to see the elevator going down. The grievances in her heart gradually emerged, her body craving the sandalwood pheromones. Finally, she walked back to the place where Qi Mian had been sitting and sat on the carpet with her knees hugged, feeling wronged.

Her anxiety spread out the door with her pheromones, and Qi Mian leaned against the wall with a gloomy expression.
