Marrying the Divorced Female Protagonist O After Transmigrating into a Book - Chapter 20

The meal ended, and Zhao Xuan returned to the company. Her little aunt, mom, and dad went home together. Zhao Xinyu drove Auntie and Qianyi, dropping Auntie off at her house first.

Kong Hui, sitting in the car, felt increasingly uneasy the more she thought about it. The gifts from Xinyu’s parents were too valuable. Having these things in her possession made Kong Hui feel indescribably strange. Under normal circumstances, Xinyu’s parents should have given these things to the Sun family…

Seeing Xinyu focused on driving, Kong Hui still asked, “Little Xin, your parents gave too many things. It’s not right to keep them here with Auntie. You should take some of them back later. You still have to meet Qianyi’s father.”

Hearing Kong Hui’s words, Sun Qianyi called out, slightly helplessly, “Mom…”

Zhao Xinyu understood Auntie’s concern. Qianyi also seemed reluctant to accept these things. “Auntie, since my parents specially prepared these gifts, you should just accept them. Don’t worry too much. Mom and Dad have probably already prepared something for the meeting with Uncle.”

Hearing Auntie fall silent, Zhao Xinyu continued to drive carefully. After dropping Auntie off at home, Sun Qianyi went to her room. Zhao Xinyu didn’t know what Sun Qianyi was doing, so she stayed in the living room and chatted with Auntie. “In a few days, Sister has a performance in City A. Auntie, you should come and watch too.”

Kong Hui smiled and said, “I think I won’t go. Just let me know when you and Qianyi have set the date for the wedding, and Auntie will prepare in advance.” The divorce proceedings with Sun Fengchang are still underway. I don’t know if I’ll be free to attend Qianyi’s dance performance that day.

“I’ll have Sister prepare a ticket for you. You can go straight to the performance if you’re free then. As for meeting Uncle, I don’t know if Qianyi has mentioned it, but we’ll set the wedding date after meeting.”

“Mhm, no rush. You need to prepare a lot of things for a wedding. Xinyu, you and Qianyi also need to take wedding photos.”

“Yes, Auntie. I hadn’t thought of that. Mhm… We can also record a video and keep it.”

“Mhm, that sounds nice.”

…

Sun Qianyi was in the room getting clothes. When choosing underwear, she found herself in a dilemma. One was a white slip nightgown that made her look very innocent when worn, and the other was a silk nightgown that was not very conservative. Feeling like she was taking too long, she simply put both nightgowns into her small suitcase.

When she came out, she saw Xinyu and her mother chatting happily. She put down her suitcase and walked toward them. “Mom, I’ll be staying at Xinyu’s house for the next few days, and I’ll go to the studio during the day. If you get bored staying at home, you can come find me at the studio.”

“I know. I won’t be staying at home every day. Since you won’t be here these next couple of days, I’ll take an afternoon nap and then meet my friends for afternoon tea.”

“Mom, that’s a good plan.” It’s great that Mom can be so happy every day.

“Don’t worry about me. Do you have all your things?”

“Mhm. I still need to go to the studio this afternoon. Mom, Xinyu and I are leaving now.”

“Alright. Little Xin, drive slowly on the road~”

“Yes, Auntie,” Zhao Xinyu replied.

Finished talking, Sun Qianyi held her hand, and they left.

She pulled the familiar suitcase and left with Sun Qianyi.

In the elevator, Zhao Xinyu looked at the suitcase and asked, “Are those your clothes?”

“Mhm. Little Xin’s clothes are a bit too big and don’t fit me well.”

“…I see.”

After putting the suitcase in the trunk, she drove the person to the studio.

“How is your dance practice going?”

“It’s good. The dance is newly choreographed and not finished yet. Once it’s complete, I’ll perform it for you.”

This phrase sounded familiar. Zhao Xinyu suddenly felt her face getting hot. “…Good.”

“Are you going to the company this afternoon?”

“I haven’t decided yet, but I could go.” She hasn’t finished the movie yet. Once she finishes it, she can arrange the next step. Zhao Xuan is handling the company formation, so she doesn’t need to worry. So, not going is fine too. She can just send Zhang Yue a message after finishing the movie.

“Then stay with me.”

“…Okay.” Although she knows that staying with Sun Qianyi is tempting fate, Zhao Xinyu simply loves it; it’s an indescribable feeling.

Arriving at Sun Qianyi’s apartment, she went straight to the dressing room to change clothes. Then she headed to the practice room, and Zhao Xinyu followed her.

The music started, and Sun Qianyi began choreographing the dance. The dance was in segments, and it clearly wasn’t finished yet. Zhao Xinyu opened her phone and continued watching the movie she hadn’t finished in the morning. After watching it, she found the movie editing to be terrible. The actors’ performances were solid, and the raw footage looked good, meaning the director was decent.

Opening her messaging app, Zhao Xinyu immediately messaged Zhao Xuan: Brother, find me two professional editors. The movie needs to be re-edited. Has the promotional trailer been made? Has it been released?

Seeing the stream of questions from his sister, it seemed she really understood movies: I’ll have Zhang Yue handle the editors right now. The promotional trailer is done but not released yet. The timing hasn’t been set. We originally planned to release it after setting a date.

Zhao Xinyu: Okay, Brother, I understand. Brother, send me the promotional trailer video too.

Three minutes later…

Zhang Yue sent a message: Promotional trailer video.

Zhao Xinyu: Thank you!

Zhang Yue: You’re welcome.

After watching the promotional trailer, Zhao Xinyu found the problem was the same as the movie’s. She messaged Zhao Xuan again, asking him to discard the trailer and have everything re-edited once the editors were found.

Zhao Xinyu had no idea how much work her few words had created for Zhang Yue. In addition to her regular duties all afternoon, she had to find editors for her and contact the director’s side to send the raw footage to the company, and so on.

Around 2 PM, Zhao Xinyu bought afternoon tea for the staff at Sun Qianyi’s studio. Sun Qianyi didn’t drink any while dancing, but Zhao Xinyu took a cup of milk tea and drank it.

Sun Qianyi watched her drink the milk tea and thought she looked cute. She walked over, lifted her chin, and kissed Zhao Xinyu’s lips. In the intertwining of their tongues, Sun Qianyi tasted the milk tea.

…

Around 4 or 5 PM, Sun Qianyi’s choreography was mostly completed. Sun Qianyi couldn’t progress further at this stage, but she needed to practice the segments she had choreographed so far until she was proficient.

Seeing her work so hard at dancing, Zhao Xinyu brought her water several times that afternoon.

As it was approaching 8 PM, Zhao Xinyu called Ming Wenxin. “Mom, Qianyi is still practicing. You all eat first. Qianyi and I will eat out tonight; we won’t be eating at home.”

“Okay, Mom understands.”

After hanging up, Zhao Xinyu ordered takeout, all tailored to Sun Qianyi’s standards.

Looking at the food, Cai Luo felt she couldn’t eat much; there were hardly any oily dishes! “Sigh, it’s obvious this was specially ordered for a certain person. Couldn’t you consider those of us who don’t have to maintain our figures?”

Hearing Cai Luo’s words, Zhao Xinyu chuckled. Fortunately, she had read the novel and knew Cai Luo liked crayfish, so she had ordered a separate portion.

Seeing Zhao Xinyu laugh, Cai Luo became more annoyed: “You’re laughing. You only think about your wife. You should consider others too.”

Sun Qianyi: “My wife has to think of me first!”

…

Cai Luo: I can’t even argue with that! Hmph.

Zhao Xinyu was about to speak when the doorbell rang outside. Cai Luo was sitting on the outer side. Hearing the sound, she sighed and walked over to open the door, “Who is it?”

“Takeout.” A simple two words.

???

Cai Luo felt she was hearing things. More takeout!

Taking the takeout and closing the door, Cai Luo carefully examined the packaging!

Cai Luo was surprised. It’s crayfish!

“Well, I’ll be. Zhao Xinyu, did you order the crayfish? Hahaha, I take back what I said earlier! Just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

“Okay.” It seems the novel was right. Cai Luo really does like crayfish!

“Oh, Zhao Xinyu, did you send someone to investigate me? How do you even know I like crayfish?”

“…Sister Cai Luo, you’re overthinking it! I was worried that the food on the table was too bland, so I ordered some crayfish to balance it out. But now I know that Sister Cai Luo likes crayfish.” Investigate Cai Luo? Does reading it in a novel count?

“Hahaha, is that so! Then I’ll eat more! The food you ordered for Sun Qianyi is too plain for me.”

Zhao Xinyu smiled and said, “Okay.”

After eating, Sun Qianyi returned to the practice room to continue practicing her dance. By the time they were ready to leave, it was 10:57 PM. Very late.

Cai Luo went straight upstairs to rest. The rooms upstairs seemed to be specifically designated rest areas, an arrangement Zhao Xinyu thought was nice.

Sun Qianyi had practiced dancing all day and fell asleep a few minutes after getting into the car. Paying attention to her rest, Zhao Xinyu drove a bit slower.

It was very late when they returned home. Zhao Xinyu carried Sun Qianyi upstairs and put her on the bed to rest. Sun Qianyi had already showered at the studio. Zhao Xinyu released some of her pheromones, then went to the walk-in closet to find clothes to shower.

After tidying up, Zhao Xinyu remembered Sun Qianyi’s luggage was still in the car trunk. She went downstairs to find the butler and asked him to retrieve the suitcase. She sat in the living room, waiting for the butler to bring the luggage. Hearing a sound, she looked over and saw Zhao Yanran was still awake. “Auntie, why haven’t you rested yet?”

Zhao Yanran smiled slightly: “I’ve slept for a few hours and came out to get some water.”

“Okay.”

“Mhm. Why did you return so late?”

“Qianyi practiced dancing until almost 11 PM, so we came back late.” Sigh, Qianyi works so hard. She’s so dedicated to finishing a dance.

“That’s tough. Make sure to rest.”

“Auntie is right.” Saying this, she poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Zhao Yanran. This person gave off a cool aura, but when talking to her, the coolness lessened considerably. Perhaps this is due to the blood relation?

After chatting for a bit, the butler returned from the garage with the suitcase. Zhao Yanran glanced at it and asked, “This is?”

“It’s Qianyi’s. She’s been wearing my clothes for the past two days and went back home briefly today.”

“Mhm. Go back to your room and rest early.” Xinyu has changed so much in the past six months.

“Okay, Auntie.” Saying this, Zhao Xinyu stood up and pulled the suitcase toward the stairs. After a few steps, she stopped, turned around, and said to Zhao Yanran, “Auntie, drink your water and rest early too.”

Zhao Yanran was surprised, then collected herself and looked at Xinyu: “Mhm, Auntie knows.”

“Okay.” This time, Zhao Xinyu didn’t stop and returned to the room with Sun Qianyi’s suitcase.
