Marrying the Divorced Female Protagonist O After Transmigrating into a Book - Chapter 10

“Mom… don’t cry. If you cry, I’ll want to cry too.” Those mother and daughter would definitely stay today. If she wasn’t home, her mother would surely be sad being in the same house as them.

“If you don’t want to live with them, then come to my place for now.” Saying this, Sun Qianyi looked at her mother.

After a moment, Kong Hui spoke up: “Qianyi, I think… I want to divorce your father.”

Sun Qianyi was stunned for a moment. Her mother suddenly made up her mind. “Good! Mom, pack your luggage. You’re coming with me today.”

Hearing her daughter’s phone ring, Kong Hui said, “Mom will pack now. You go answer the phone.”

“Mhm,” Sun Qianyi replied, stood up, and took out her phone to see who was calling.

It was Little Xin calling. Sun Qianyi immediately clicked to answer. Before she could speak, she heard a frantic question from Little Xin on the other end. “I’m at my mom’s place; I haven’t returned to my own apartment. Little Xin, don’t worry.”

Hearing Sun Qianyi say she was at her mother’s place, Zhao Xinyu instinctively felt something was wrong. “Sister… are you coming back today?”

Glancing at her mother, who was packing her luggage, Sun Qianyi said, “I’ll be returning in a little while.”

Judging by Sun Qianyi’s tone today, Zhao Xinyu felt sure something must have happened. In the original book, Lin Fanchen was intensely involved with Sun Qian at this time. It was precisely because of this that Lin Fanchen and Sun Qian returned to the Sun family before their engagement. “Then send me the address. I’ll come pick you up.”

Almost two minutes passed, and Sun Qianyi still hadn’t spoken. Zhao Xinyu thought she had hung up. She brought the phone in front of her face to check; it was still on the call. “Sister…?”

Should I let Little Xin come over? If Little Xin comes and finds out about my situation, will she maintain the way she is now? The word “Sister” put Sun Qianyi’s worries to rest. “Do you really want to come?”

“Send me the address.” With that, Zhao Xinyu hung up the phone. This young woman won’t tell me when something happens. I wonder if things are as I suspect. If Sun Qian really is moving back now, the plot of the original book is truly messed up, and the rhythm is broken. Leaving Sun Qianyi’s apartment, Zhao Xinyu hurried downstairs to pick up Sun Qianyi.

Ding. The elevator door opened. Zhao Xinyu had only walked two steps when her phone made a sound—a message notification. Seeing the address, Zhao Xinyu immediately clicked to copy and navigate. She got in the car and drove off.

After sending the message, Sun Qianyi felt a sense of weightlessness and sat down on the bed. A moment later, a feeling of relaxation followed, and her body felt very light. But quickly, a feeling of stuffiness in her chest grew heavier.

“What’s wrong?” Kong Hui asked. Hearing her mother’s question, Sun Qianyi looked up and said, “Nothing.”

“Mom, are you done packing?” She looked at her mother closing the suitcase.

“I’ve finished packing. Just two changes of clothes will do. We’ll buy new ones later.”

“Mhm, Mom… I’m going out to get some water. Don’t leave the room. We’ll leave as soon as I get back.” Saying this, Sun Qianyi immediately left the room. Her chest was stuffy and very uncomfortable right now.

Walking down the stairs, Sun Qianyi saw the mother and daughter already unpacking and settling in. Sun Qianyi chuckled internally, gave them a fleeting glance, and headed to the kitchen.

“I won’t thank you for speaking like that, Sister. Even without your permission, my mother and I would still stay.”

Sun Qianyi was drinking water when she suddenly felt that the person speaking next to her was a bit rude. Taking another sip, she looked at Sun Qian: “Whether you stay or not has nothing to do with me. Just be happy.”

Sun Qian didn’t expect Sun Qianyi to be so aloof. She’s just the eldest daughter of the Sun family. What’s there to be so arrogant about? Now that I’m in the house, I’ll slowly wear down your haughty facade!

“Do you need something else?” She’s been standing here the whole time, not leaving.

“Nothing, Sister. I’ll go back to my room now.”

Watching Sun Qian leave, Sun Qianyi felt the stuffiness in her chest dissipate.

Little Xin’s “Sister” sounds much better. Sun Qian’s… is lacking something.

Sun Qianyi returned to the room and didn’t have to wait long before answering Little Xin’s call.

“Sister, I’ve arrived.”

“Okay, Little Xin, wait a moment. I’ll have someone open the gate for you.”

“Okay.”

Hanging up the phone, Sun Qianyi heard her mother ask her, “Qianyi, is that your friend?”

Sun Qianyi smiled faintly. Little Xin wasn’t her friend; she was someone more important. “No. I’ll introduce you to her in the car.”

The gate opened, and Zhao Xinyu drove the car right up to the Sun family entrance. The person who came out seemed to be a servant of the Sun family. Zhao Xinyu got out of the car first.

“Miss Zhao, you can park the car right here.”

Zhao Xinyu found it amusing. She wasn’t here as a guest; she was just here to pick someone up. “No need. I’m here to pick up my sister.”

There was surveillance outside when I drove in. My father-in-law probably already knows I’m here. This person who came out must be someone sent by my father-in-law. The fact that I’m not going inside has already made this person’s expression look sour.

Seeing Sun Qianyi coming out with her luggage, Zhao Xinyu walked forward to meet her. “Sister, give me your luggage.”

“Mhm,” Sun Qianyi replied, handing the luggage to Little Xin. Watching her put the luggage away: “Little Xin, come here for a moment.”

“What is it, Sister?” Zhao Xinyu asked, confused.

“This is my mother,” Sun Qianyi said, looking at her mother. “Mom, this is Little Xin.”

Well, well, well, the lady standing next to Sun Qianyi is my mother-in-law! “Hello, Auntie.”

“Hello, Little Xin.”

“Alright, let’s get in the car and leave,” Sun Qianyi said.

Zhao Xinyu watched her mother-in-law get into the car before getting into the driver’s seat herself.

Sun Qianyi was about to get into the car when a voice stopped her: “Miss, taking the Madam away like this is not appropriate.” Sun Qianyi finished getting in, closed the door, and rolled the window down slightly to speak to the person: “Whether it’s appropriate or not is not for you to worry about.” Then she slowly closed the window.

Watching Sun Qianyi close the window, Zhao Xinyu immediately drove away.

On the way, Kong Hui, sitting in the back seat, asked her daughter, “Little Xin, isn’t she your new friend?”

“Cough, cough… Auntie, wait, you should call me Mom. Sister Qianyi and I are married.” She said this, smiling and turning her head to glance at the person in the passenger seat.

Married? “Qianyi! What is going on?”

Sun Qianyi had been trying to figure out how to tell her mother. She didn’t expect Little Xin to blurt it out so easily. “Um, Mom… we’re really married. Everything happened in the last couple of days; I haven’t had a chance to tell you.”

It’s only been a few days since her divorce, and she’s suddenly married someone else. Little Xin looks quite young; she can’t be very old. “Little Xin, what is your full name, and how old are you this year?”

“Mom, my name is Zhao Xinyu, and I’m 22 this year.”

…

This child calls me ‘Mom’ quite naturally. “Did you graduate from college?”

“Yes, I graduated this year.”

22 and just graduated from college, and so much younger than Qianyi! I don’t know what this child Qianyi is thinking, getting married so suddenly and choosing someone so much younger! “Do your parents and family know about your marriage?”

“Not yet. My parents haven’t been home recently. I’ll tell them when they return.”

“Is that so? You’re the only child in your family…” Before she could finish her sentence, Qianyi interrupted.

“Mom, Little Xin is driving. You can ask her when we get home.”

“Okay.”

She had planned to tell her mother after this performance. Plans really can’t keep up with changes. Little Xin too, just blurted it out.

Arriving at the destination, Zhao Xinyu took the luggage and followed Sun Qianyi and her mother-in-law upstairs.

Inside the apartment, Zhao Xinyu felt suddenly unable to cope with being face-to-face with her mother-in-law. It was fine when she was driving in the car, but now it felt like an invisible barrier was surrounding them. “Um, I’ll go wash my hands in the bathroom.”

Watching Little Xin head to the bathroom, Sun Qianyi spoke up, “Mom, take your time asking Little Xin whatever you want to know. Asking so many questions all at once will scare Little Xin.”

“I don’t think Little Xin is scared. You should just say you’re trying to defend her.”

…

After exchanging a couple of words, Sun Qianyi led her mother to the bedroom. They needed to unpack the clothes to use tonight.

It wasn’t early now. Zhao Xinyu finished washing her hands and came back out, looking at Sun Qianyi. “Sister, have you two eaten yet? I’ll order some food and have it delivered.”

“Little Xin, no need to trouble yourself. The housekeeper will be here soon and will cook.”

“Okay, Sister, I’m going back now. It’s already dark. I’ll come back tomorrow.”

“…I’ll walk you out.”

“Okay. Go say goodbye to… Mom.”

After saying goodbye to her mother-in-law, Zhao Xinyu left the house with Sun Qianyi. Getting into the elevator, Zhao Xinyu said, confused, “Sister, you pressed the 2nd floor button by mistake.”

“It’s not a mistake. I’m going to the 2nd floor.” After Sun Qianyi said this, Zhao Xinyu pressed the 1st floor button again.

When they reached the second floor, Zhao Xinyu was pulled out by Sun Qianyi. The two walked toward the stairwell.

Zhao Xinyu swallowed hard: “Sister, what are you doing?”

“I want to hug you.” Saying this, she embraced Zhao Xinyu. “Little Xin, the teacup in your car… is it because you missed Sister?”

Ah, this… Zhao Xinyu didn’t know why, but she had been craving tea lately. But none of the cups at home were suitable for steeping tea. On the way out today, she saw a shop and went inside to check. Zhao Xinyu bought a teacup. The shop also sold tea leaves, so Zhao Xinyu bought some and had the shop deliver them home directly. At the shop, Zhao Xinyu used the cup to brew a cup of tea. She hadn’t expected Sun Qianyi to notice.

Only now did Zhao Xinyu realize that Sun Qianyi’s pheromone scent is tea-flavored…

“Mhm,” Zhao Xinyu hummed, not knowing what else to say.

“I missed Little Xin too.”

Getting too close to Sun Qianyi caused a reaction in her body, so Zhao Xinyu immediately put some distance between them. “Sister… I need to go home. It’s dark, and it’s not safe to drive back.”

“Okay.” Saying this, Sun Qianyi reached for Little Xin’s hand, ready to go downstairs.

“Wait a minute, Sister.” Seeing Sun Qianyi stop, Zhao Xinyu said, “My parents will be back in the next couple of days. I’ll message you when they arrive. We should invite Auntie, and all of us can have a meal together.”

Sun Qianyi was stunned. She hadn’t expected Little Xin to talk about telling her uncle and aunt about their marriage so soon. She suddenly felt a little nervous about meeting her uncle and aunt.

“Okay.”

After Zhao Xinyu got into the car, she watched Sun Qianyi go inside before driving away.

It seems the plot of the original book is truly messed up now. My mother-in-law leaving the Sun family was supposed to happen much later. Everything has changed. It’s very likely that I’ve broken the original trajectory. I need to give my older brother Zhao Xuan a heads-up about marrying Sun Qianyi when I get home tonight. Otherwise, if I wait until the original host’s parents return to tell them, it will be hard to explain it all at once.

Arriving home, just as she got out of the car, Zhao Xuan stood at the door and asked, “Why are you going out so late?”
