Marrying the Divorced Female Protagonist O After Transmigrating into a Book - Chapter 11

“…I went to see Sister Qianyi. Brother, why did you come out?” Closing the car door, Zhao Xinyu placed the car key in the butler’s hand.

“I knew you were coming back, so I came out specifically to welcome you,” he said with a doting smile.

Hearing her brother’s words, Zhao Xinyu felt goosebumps rising! She walked over, looked at her brother, and countered, “You’re that nice?”

“Don’t you know whether I’m nice or not?” She ran off to see Sun Qianyi so late? “Oh, right, why did you run off to see Sun Qianyi so late? And only just got back!”

Zhao Xinyu stopped walking, turned, and looked seriously at Zhao Xuan, saying, “Brother, let’s go inside. I need to tell you something important.”

“What is it?” Zhao Xuan asked reflexively.

Zhao Xinyu didn’t answer and walked straight into the house. Zhao Xinyu settled down in the living room and patted the spot next to her. “Brother, sit down first. I’m going to tell you something very important later, and you absolutely cannot hit me after you hear it!”

???

Zhao Xuan sat down where his sister patted, saying jokingly, “What important thing could you tell me that would make me hit you?”

Zhao Xinyu took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Xuan’s curious expression, and said seriously, “Sister Qianyi and I got married.”

“Oh~” My sister married Sun Qianyi, hmm…? Wait a minute! “What did you just say? You got a marriage certificate with Sun Qianyi?”

“Yes, Brother,” she finished, smiling with pursed lips at her brother.

…

“When did you two go?”

“The day after the banquet, Brother.” Zhao Xuan seemed to have come to my room that night and asked where I went during the day.

“…You wait a minute. I’m calling Sun Qianyi to confirm whether this is true or false!”

Zhao Xinyu nodded, watching her brother take out his phone, tap a few times, and hold it to his ear, waiting for the connection.

“Zhao Xuan?”

“Sun Qianyi, I’m calling to confirm with you. Did you really get a marriage certificate with my sister?”

“Um… yes.”

“…I understand. Let’s leave it at that for now.” Saying this, Zhao Xuan hung up the phone. He looked at Zhao Xinyu, unsure what to say. Sun Qianyi actually took advantage when I wasn’t looking and abducted my sister! “Why did you suddenly go and get a marriage certificate with Sun Qianyi? Did something happen?”

“Cough, cough. Well, Brother, Sister Qianyi drank too much the night of the banquet, so I took her to my room. Afterward, I just couldn’t control myself…” Sigh~ I didn’t do it, but now I have to take the blame for the actions of a child!

“Drugged?” How is that possible? Who would be so audacious as to spike drinks at our banquet?

“Yes, Brother. The clothes Sister Qianyi wore that day are still in my room. They have residual drink stains on them; I didn’t throw them away. I’ll have someone test them when I have time. Brother, you just need to know that Sister Qianyi and I are married. I’m so hungry~ I’m going to eat.” Saying this, Zhao Xinyu immediately fled. She really was hungry.

How could Sun Qianyi be drugged? The banquet is a tradition of the Zhao family, held every year at this time. Someone dared to spike drinks at the banquet and implicated Little Xin! That is truly heinous. We must find out who that person is.

Sun Qianyi has been performing everywhere since graduation. If anything has been going on recently, it’s that Sun Qianyi married Lin Fanchen and then divorced him shortly after. Lin Fanchen shouldn’t have been the one to drug Sun Qianyi. He’s been chasing a junior from his university recently. I don’t understand why he would marry and then still look for someone else outside. We need to pull up the surveillance footage from the banquet day to check. Thinking this, he called the butler to retrieve the footage.

Zhao Xinyu watched her brother walk upstairs and asked, “Brother, did you eat dinner?”

Zhao Xuan stopped and looked back at Little Xin, saying, “I ate. You hurry up and eat. Go back to your room and rest early when you’re done.”

“Okay, Brother.” He truly is worthy of managing such a large business as the Zhao family’s; his efficiency is high. I just took two bites of food, and my brother has already thought of checking the banquet surveillance. Now, when Mom and Dad come back, it will be easier to talk about my marriage to Sun Qianyi.

Now that my mother-in-law has left the Sun family early, it’s inconvenient for her to stay at Qianyi’s place. Qianyi’s apartment only has one bedroom. It seems I need to start working at the company soon. Then, I can earn money with my own ability and buy a house for my mother-in-law to live in. Hmm… I’m too nice, aren’t I?

Tsk.

Ding~ Sun Qianyi sent a message.

My Wife, Your Excellency: Little Xin told your brother?

Little Xin: Yes, Sister.

My Wife, Your Excellency: I understand. Little Xin, remember to tell Sister when Uncle and Aunt return. [Emoji: Heart]

Little Xin: Okay!

After eating and taking a slow walk, Zhao Xinyu went straight back to her room to wash up and prepare for rest. During the day, Zhao Xinyu had already organized the documents in her hand. Before sleeping, Zhao Xinyu habitually sent Sun Qianyi a goodnight message.

In the early morning, Zhao Xinyu’s phone rang before she was fully awake. She turned over, blindly feeling for her phone in the direction of the sound. “Hello, who is this?”

“It’s me! Lu Qing. Don’t you recognize me?” This person has changed. She said she had things to deal with, and it’s been several days, but she hasn’t reached out to hang out.

“Lu Qing, oh, I’m sorry. I’m not up yet. Why are you up so early?” According to the original host’s memory, this person is not an early riser.

“I… have a meal appointment this morning. Get up quickly and come with me.” I can’t tell Zhao Xinyu that I’m going to meet a new friend yet.

“Why do I have to come? I have things to do.”

“What things do you have? It’s been days now; how have you not finished dealing with it?” This is the second time she’s refused.

“…Fine. Where is it? I’ll go straight there.” She still can’t tell Lu Qing about marrying Sun Qianyi.

“Okay, I’ll send you the address. Hurry up and get dressed.”

“Alright.” Hanging up the phone, Zhao Xinyu didn’t go back to sleep. Going to see Lu Qing is fine; I can temporarily avoid my brother.

After washing up, Zhao Xinyu went to the walk-in closet to change. Zhao Xinyu genuinely couldn’t appreciate the style of many of the clothes. She took out the ones she didn’t like and placed them on the sofa. Zhao Xinyu chose a white casual outfit; the effect was quite good.

Lu Qing said the location was Zizhu Restaurant, a very nice dining place where the original host and Lu Qing often met to eat.

Zhao Xuan came downstairs to eat and heard the butler say Little Xin had gone out early! Did she get up this early to find Sun Qianyi? Opening his phone, Zhao Xuan sent a message to Sun Qianyi asking: Sun Qianyi, did something happen that made Little Xin rush over to find you so early?

Sun Qianyi: ???

Zhao Xuan frowned at Sun Qianyi’s reply. Could Little Xin not be looking for Sun Qianyi?

Zhao Xuan: Your wife rushed out early this morning. You need to manage her better.

Sun Qianyi: My wife is also your sister. You should help me worry about her.

Sun Qianyi: I understand. Thank you, Brother.

Zhao Xuan: ……

When Zhao Xinyu arrived at the restaurant, she followed the attendant directly to the designated spot. Lu Qing was already there, accompanied by a delicate, endearing young woman. Hmm? Is this Lu Qing’s girlfriend?

Thinking this, Zhao Xinyu looked at Lu Qing with a knowing smile and sat down.

A couple of days ago, Lu Qing went out with Wu Sisi. Wu Sisi mentioned that a junior from their school had a long-term crush on Zhao Xinyu. When asked why she was telling him this, Wu Sisi said she wanted his help to invite Zhao Xinyu out so the two could meet. The junior was related to Wu Sisi, who wanted to help her.

“Zhao Xinyu, let me introduce you. This is Xia Xuan. Xia Xuan goes to our school and is a senior this year.” Lu Qing looked at Zhao Xinyu as he spoke, then looked at the junior and introduced: “This is Zhao Xinyu, my good friend.”

“Hello,” Zhao Xinyu said, extending her hand for a gentleman’s handshake.

“Mhm, hello.”

Why did the little girl’s face suddenly turn red? Is she shy around strangers? Zhao Xinyu was a little confused. After a brief handshake, she sat down.

“Lu Qing, have you ordered yet?” Zhao Xinyu asked.

“Not yet. Let Xia Xuan look first. We’ve been here many times.”

“That’s fine.” Sigh, that was the original host. I have some dishes I want to try too.

Seeing Zhao Xinyu sit down next to her, Xia Xuan’s heart pounded fast, and she felt a little dizzy. “I’m fine. I don’t eat much. Sister, you look at the menu too.”

“Sounds good,” Zhao Xinyu said. Lu Qing’s girlfriend is quite nice. It’s just that they don’t look much like a couple sitting in front of me.

Lu Qing looked at the person happily ordering dishes. Hasn’t Zhao Xinyu realized I’m setting her up? Lu Qing felt like slapping his forehead.

No wonder the original host often came here to eat with Lu Qing. The food at this restaurant is indeed delicious. It’s worth coming straight here without breakfast.

When they were almost finished eating, Xia Xuan went to the restroom. Seeing Xia Xuan leave, Lu Qing finally spoke to Zhao Xinyu: “Zhao Xinyu! Didn’t you figure it out?”

Zhao Xinyu replied with a smile, “Of course I did! Your girlfriend, right? It’s fine; you two be as sweet as you want. I don’t mind.”

…

Girlfriend my foot!

“Xia Xuan is not my girlfriend. I am truly impressed with how you figured that out. Xia Xuan likes you. Don’t tell me you didn’t notice!”

“What? Are you kidding me?” The little girl likes me? Wait, the original host?

“My goodness, I called you out today just to get you two acquainted!” I am seriously impressed. Zhao Xinyu really didn’t notice!

“You should keep her. I already have a girlfriend; I can’t have two.”

…

“Zhao Xinyu, if you don’t like her, you don’t need to use having a girlfriend as an excuse. Don’t you think I know whether you have a girlfriend or not!”

What should I do? This person actually doesn’t believe me.

Author’s Note:

Sun Qianyi: What did you go out and do so early this morning?

Zhao Xinyu: ……
