After Transmigrating into the Scum Wife of a Disabled Black Moonlight (GL) - Chapter 17
Deng Li’s fingertips were scorching hot. Even without much force, it felt like she was about to snap her jaw.
Her tall figure was intimidating. When she sat on the bed, the mattress sank an inch, and Song Chisui’s body trembled along with it.
In the backlight, Deng Li’s face was lean, her nose was high, and her curtain bangs slightly covered her eyelashes.
Her eyes were fixed on Song Chisui’s lips, filled with desire.
Song Chisui pursed her red lips, held her breath, and her entire body tensed up. Her left hand was holding the diamond ring, ready to strike.
Yes, Deng Li saved her, but she didn’t know why. Even if she had good intentions, if she posed even the slightest threat, she would not hesitate to kill her.
Deng Li in her dreams had treated her so cruelly, pressing her knee against her chest, her heel on her shoulder, curling her into a ball, and holding her tightly so she couldn’t move. She had a certain amount of trauma from that face.
Deng Li’s eyebrow twitched. The next second, a bone-chilling coldness shot from her fingers to her heart, making her shiver.
How could I bully someone so weak, especially when she’s so pitiful?
She slowly let go and coughed awkwardly. “I was checking if your neck was hurt.”
After she spoke, her well-defined hand scratched her own neck.
What a lame excuse. Even Deng Li knew it was unconvincing.
Song Chisui’s chest slowly sank, and her entire body relaxed against the headboard.
“I’ll feed you your medicine.”
Finally, she had a legitimate task. Deng Li picked up the cup of water and used a white porcelain spoon to scoop some. She blew on it a few times.
“Phew, phew.” Her movements were smooth and natural. It didn’t seem like she was putting on a show for anyone.
After she finished blowing on it, she tested the temperature with her lips before handing it over with satisfaction. “Take a sip to wet your throat. It’s not hot anymore.”
The guard in Song Chisui’s eyes lessened. She sat up to take her medicine.
There were about ten pills in total. Song Chisui put them in her mouth one by one. It seemed like two at a time would get stuck in her small throat.
That’s good. This way, she would drink more water.
Deng Li held the water in one hand and the medicine in the other. Watching her take the medicine ten times, she couldn’t help but think of the past. In her original world, she adopted a few stray cats. She would put out cat food and water on the road they always used.
One of the kittens was less than three months old. It was always the last one to eat. When it ate, it was very graceful, eating one piece at a time, chewing it for a long time. Then it would go to the water bowl, licking the water with its small pink tongue, one sip at a time, as if it was afraid of choking. It was so cute.
She looked at Song Chisui with a doting expression, as if she was watching her own little cub.
Song Chisui ate her medicine uneasily, occasionally glancing at Deng Li with her peripheral vision. Seeing that she was staring at her, she sped up for some unknown reason.
“Where do you want to go later?”
After the last pill was swallowed, Deng Li put down the water cup and turned to her.
She saw that there was a drop of water on her lower lip. Without thinking, she reached out her hand.
Her index finger joint slightly brushed against her red lips. A soft sensation sent a jolt through her. She flinched, only to realize that she had touched the other person’s forbidden zone.
Song Chisui paused, quickly turned her head, hunched her back, and crossed her arms as if she was avoiding a hooligan. “I’m not going out. This medicine makes me sleepy.”
Deng Li rubbed the joint of her index finger. “Am I going to lose points?”
The next second, a few large words popped up in her mind: Positive Value +10 Points!
Hey, I even gained points. Does that mean I can touch her mouth and kiss her?
Patience, Deng Li. You have all the time in the world.
She stood up, straightened the little blanket on the bed, and patted the velvet blanket. When will I be able to sleep on this bed?
After thinking for a moment, she said calmly, “Okay. I won’t disturb your rest. I’m leaving now.”
Not having to serve Song Chisui was like a vacation. It was the same as when her employer told her she didn’t need protection today and could do whatever she wanted.
Before leaving, Deng Li specifically changed into her Doc Martens, jeans, a comfortable T-shirt, a baseball jacket, and a baseball cap. She was ready to go out and have fun.
She didn’t forget to tell Chunmei about her plans when she went downstairs.
“Butler Chunmei, I have some business to attend to. I’ll have to trouble you with Xiao Sui’s matters.”
Chunmei nodded respectfully as she saw her out. “Madam, don’t worry. I will take good care of Miss.”
After Deng Li left, Song Chisui finally sat up.
Chunmei confirmed her departure a few times before returning to the room. She lowered her voice and said, “Miss, she’s gone.”
Song Chisui lifted the blanket. “Then let’s go. Time to get to business.”
Deng Li drove out of the villa, feeling like the air she was breathing was freedom itself.
Half an hour later, a low-key black Porsche Panamera stopped by the side of the road. Although it was the cheapest car in the Song family, it still attracted a lot of attention.
Deng Li pulled her black hat down and zipped her baseball jacket all the way up, covering her sharp, inverted-triangle-shaped face.
She walked into the pool hall and looked for her target in the crowd, but she couldn’t find her.
Someone waved at her. “Deng Li, can’t you see me?”
It wasn’t that she couldn’t see her; it was that she had almost forgotten what she looked like.
Duan Tiantian was the only person she knew in this world.
She walked over and looked at Duan Tiantian carefully. The only thing that stood out about her was her pair of big, innocent eyes.
“If you didn’t come find me, I was going to show up at your house. You got married and just disappeared.”
She was chatting with her while playing pool.
“Do you want to play a shot?”
Deng Li shook her head. “I don’t play.”
She came here mainly to find a job.
The things she did in her last life were too dangerous. Her life was on the line at any moment. This life, she had decided to pursue a safe career.
A moment later, the two of them sat in a coffee corner. Duan Tiantian flipped through the menu and looked at her. “Your family is so rich. Why do you still need to find a job?”
Deng Li folded her hands, not forgetting to show off the big gem on her left hand. The gem glittered, as if it were mocking a ruthless worker, who was less rich and lazier than her.
“I’m bored. I’m looking for something to pass the time.”
She played with her ring. “My wife is going to school, so I should also go to work.”
Duan Tiantian pushed the menu toward her. “What do you want to drink?”
Deng Li glanced at the price. It was shockingly expensive. Her eyes widened. “Are you paying for me?”
After all, it was Duan Tiantian who invited her.
“Yes, I’m paying for you. Why are you so cheap? Oh, that’s right… you were always cheap.”
She always claimed to be a rich kid, but when it was time to pay, she was either in the restroom or on the phone.
What’s so difficult about maintaining a cheap character? Just be a miser at all times.
Ten minutes later, a steaming hot heart-shaped cappuccino was placed in front of her.
She picked it up and took a small sip, answering Duan Tiantian’s various questions.
“The Song family’s business isn’t mine, after all. Even though our relationship is good now, you never know what will happen in the future. So I don’t plan on joining the Song Corporation. And as for my own family, you know, we’re all the way in Shanxi. The work is exhausting. I’m either digging for coal or on my way to dig for coal. Even if I’m not doing physical labor, after a day’s work, my face is blacker than coal. My eyelashes don’t even need mascara because it’s already there. It’s too far. What’s the point of living if I have a wife but can’t touch her with my hands?”
Deng Li was a person of few words. In her previous life, she couldn’t even say a word for half a day. She didn’t expect that after transmigrating to a new world, she would be the complete opposite. She not only spoke a lot but also spoke very smoothly. It was as if she had been suppressing herself for so long that her inner self, a crazy person, was finally released.
She had been moral for too long and hadn’t cursed for a while. Now, she felt an irresistible urge to say “fuck my grandmother.”
Duan Tiantian was convinced. She nodded vigorously, and at the same time praised her. “You’ve matured a lot after getting married.”
Deng Li’s eyes were calm. “That’s right. I’ve returned to my family. The heart that I let go should be brought back.”
Duan Tiantian stirred her coffee. “What kind of job do you want to do?”
Deng Li coughed, leaned closer, and covered her face with her hand. “I heard you know Director Zhang.”
Duan Tiantian’s eyes widened. “How did you know?”
She smiled. “Don’t worry. I won’t reveal your secret.”
I didn’t expect Duan Tiantian to be a pool hall owner on the surface, but a talent agent on the side.
Seeing her frown, Deng Li pouted. “What’s wrong? With my looks, I can’t get into the entertainment industry? And I won’t even show my face. I can be a stunt double.”
Duan Tiantian: “A stunt double? You’re a reckless fighter.”
“I’m not kidding. I’m serious.”
She had a plan. Before that, she needed to find a job she was good at to support herself. It wasn’t good to always ask her wife for money.
“I’m serious too. You’re not suitable,” Duan Tiantian said.
“How am I not suitable? My legs, my face, my figure, my…”
“Your tattoos. The marks from your tattoos.” Stunt doubles had to show their arms and legs.
As Deng Li was struggling, the system popped up. A square bottle appeared in her mind.
“Host, this is another magic potion called ‘Furong Ointment.'”
“It can restore part of your true form.”
“Wow, this is good. How many positive points do I need?”
“Not much. The same price as the ‘Tendon-Restoring Oil.'”
The Tendon-Restoring Oil was the medicine to heal Song Chisui’s legs.
In other words, she needed to work even harder to get positive points.
A moment later, she said to Duan Tiantian, “That’s a small matter. I can get surgery to remove them.”
Duan Tiantian thought for a moment. “That’s true. I’ll help you look into it.”
She didn’t have to say thank you. The matter was pretty much settled.
A moment later, her phone rang.
Deng Li answered. “Hello?”
The other end was silent for a moment. Then a refined and elegant voice came through.
The voice sounded a bit nervous.
“Miss Deng, are you at home right now?”
Deng Li: “Teacher Jian? Is something wrong?”
The other end paused for a moment. “Something happened to Deng Chengxia, and Xiao Sui didn’t come either. I’m worried about her too.”
“No, she’s fine. She’s been home all day because she’s sick.” Halfway through her sentence, Deng Li’s eyes widened. She paused for a moment before continuing. “She’s resting.”

Deng Li: I still couldn’t stop the cunning baby, huh?
