Marrying the Divorced Female Protagonist O After Transmigrating into a Book - Chapter 21

After putting Sun Qianyi’s suitcase in the walk-in closet, Zhao Xinyu lay down on the bed, ready to go to sleep.

The junior must have been too tired from dance practice, as she was sleeping soundly. Zhao Xinyu released some of her pheromones again. The junior must have quickly sensed the scent of the pheromones, as she slowly moved closer to her. Her nose stopped near the location of her scent gland.

Pheromones are indeed excellent at relieving an Omega’s physical discomfort. Seeing the junior resting better, Zhao Xinyu also began to rest and drifted off to sleep.

Zhao Xinyu woke up very early the next morning, finding herself embracing the junior from behind. The junior was still resting. Zhao Xinyu slowed her movements to get up, all the while releasing her pheromones for fear of waking Sun Qianyi.

After brushing her teeth, washing her face, and tidying up, she went out. Seeing Sun Qianyi still sleeping soundly, Zhao Xinyu gently closed the door and went downstairs.

Seeing her brother and little aunt sitting in the living room, Zhao Xinyu raised her wrist and glanced at the time. It was 7:06 AM; it was indeed quite early.

“You’re up very early,” Zhao Xinyu heard, looking up. Her aunt was talking to her.

“Not too early. Auntie is up early too!” Zhao Xinyu continued down the stairs, saying, “I’m going to pour a glass of water.”

“There’s heated milk in the microwave. Xinyu, take it out and drink it.”

Stopping, Zhao Xinyu looked at Zhao Yanran and said, “I think I’ll make a fresh cup. I’ll get the one for Auntie.”

“There are two cups of milk in the microwave. One is mine; you take that out and drink it! I have business at the company now, so I won’t be eating at home,” Zhao Xuan said, turning to Zhao Xinyu.

“Thank you, Brother~” Zhao Xinyu looked at Zhao Xuan, grinning. After speaking, he stood up from the sofa, ready to leave for the company.

“Tsk. I have progress on the movie project. I’ll have the secretary message you.”

“Okay, Brother. Her name is Zhang Yue. You should call her Secretary Zhang.”

“It’s all the same.” What’s the difference?

…

Fine. My brother’s comprehension skills are truly too straight-laced!

Going to the kitchen, Zhao Xinyu took out the heated milk, placed it on a tray, and carried it to the coffee table. Sitting down, Zhao Xinyu looked at the newspaper on the coffee table and said to Zhao Yanran, “There are electronic versions of newspapers now. Brother hasn’t even noticed.”

Hearing Xinyu’s words, Zhao Yanran smiled with the corners of her mouth: “Your brother is used to reading paper newspapers.”

“Old people’s habits…” Before she could finish, a “Cough, cough” came from above Zhao Xinyu’s head. A few seconds later, she saw Zhao Haizhou coming downstairs. Ha, this is a little awkward, isn’t it!

“Paper newspapers are much better; they don’t hurt your eyes. Xinyu, don’t look at your phone so much. You’ll get presbyopia by the time you reach my age.”

“…Dad, that’s not the right way to put it. Many people were nearsighted even before phones and TVs existed.”

“…Mhm.” Although, yes, I shouldn’t have said “old people” and talked to Xinyu like that.

Zhao Yanran was laughing very happily on the side now. Her brother and Xinyu’s childishness hadn’t changed at all.

Noticing Zhao Yanran’s laughter, Zhao Xinyu looked at Zhao Yanran, sighing helplessly with her lips turned down. She wanted to ask: Is that funny?

Zhao Yanran saw her looking and laughed even harder… Well, fine. As long as you’re happy, as long as you’re happy.

You’re the aunt, so you win!

I have to say, the original host’s age and identity are too awkward! Everyone around her is older than the original host. How is she supposed to have fun?!

Wait, how to have fun!

If someone calls me ‘Auntie’ now, I definitely won’t be angry; I’ll be very happy instead.

After placing the milk in front of Zhao Yanran, Zhao Xinyu picked up the other cup and finished it. Zhao Haizhou came over, sat in the spot Zhao Xuan had been in, and started reading the newspaper.

When Sun Qianyi woke up, she didn’t see Little Xin, but Little Xin’s pheromones were in the room, making Sun Qianyi feel very secure.

Sun Qianyi got up and went to the bathroom to wash up first. When she went to the walk-in closet to change clothes, she noticed her suitcase was there. Little Xin must have brought it up. She opened the suitcase, chose an outfit, put it on, found a hanger, and hung the rest of her clothes next to Little Xin’s clothes.

After finishing, Sun Qianyi looked at their clothes hanging side-by-side and felt an indescribable happiness in her heart.

Holding her phone, Sun Qianyi left the room and went downstairs to find Little Xin.

Breakfast was ready. Zhao Xinyu was just about to go upstairs to call her when she went up two or three steps and saw Sun Qianyi coming down. “Sister is awake already. I was just about to go upstairs to wake you up. Breakfast is ready.”

Hearing Little Xin speak, Sun Qianyi continued downstairs, walked up to her, and linked her arm through Zhao Xinyu’s. “Mhm, I just woke up.”

“Come eat,” Zhao Yanran said.

Zhao Xinyu & Sun Qianyi: “Okay.”

During lunch yesterday, Sun Qianyi noticed that Little Xin’s aunt was quite cold and didn’t talk much. Sun Qianyi greeted her with a formal address, but didn’t know what else to say.

Her aunt wasn’t down for breakfast. Sun Qianyi noticed her aunt liked to sleep in, which felt kind of cute.

After eating, Little Xin drove her to the studio. After that, she went to the mall, saying she needed to buy a portable laptop.

In less than an hour, Little Xin bought what she needed and returned to her studio.

The freshly squeezed juice she bought was okay for her to drink. She chose a mango juice, and Little Xin chose a grape juice.

Returning to the practice room, seeing the grape juice in Little Xin’s hand, she wanted to try it too. Walking closer to her, Little Xin looked up at her, seeming shy, but still let her sip the straw. The cool, refreshing grape pulp flavor was indeed very nice.

Zhao Xinyu was stunned to see Sun Qianyi drinking her drink. Sun Qianyi looked surprised and happy, seeming to like the grape juice as well. “Do you want to drink my juice? There’s still a lot.”

Sun Qianyi glanced at the drink, then looked at Little Xin, thinking for a few seconds before replying, “Let’s switch. Little Xin, you finish my mango juice!”

“Okay.” Saying this, Zhao Xinyu handed the grape juice to Sun Qianyi and took Sun Qianyi’s mango juice to drink.

Sun Qianyi sat next to Little Xin. After finishing the juice while leaning against her, she went to practice her dance.

The choreography wasn’t finished yet. Sun Qianyi needed to continue figuring out what movements to use to perfect the dance.

The performance hall in City A is very large and can accommodate tens of thousands of people. Typically, this hall is used for large-scale performances and important events.

This will be the third time Sun Qianyi has been invited to perform at this venue. Many people will surely attend. Sun Qianyi didn’t dare to be complacent. After finishing her juice, she continued to choreograph and practice the dance.

Zhao Xinyu doesn’t know how to dance, so she couldn’t offer Sun Qianyi any useful advice. She had already bought the laptop. Zhao Xinyu logged into her accounts and began her work. The stock market is open from Monday to Friday. Zhao Xinyu needed to check the market trends every week.

Just based on the money left by the original host, Zhao Xinyu could earn much more money in the stock market. But that wasn’t Zhao Xinyu’s goal. The stock market is for quick, short-term money. Zhao Xinyu wanted to donate half of the net profit to those in need. This required her to hire her own secretary first.

Thinking this, Zhao Xinyu messaged her brother: Brother, help me hire a secretary. Someone well-rounded and highly capable.

After a thought, Zhao Xinyu added: It’s best to hire a Beta. Forget Omegas. Alphas can be considered.

Zhao Xuan: ? The new company will take a couple of days to set up. Are you sure you want to hire a secretary now?

Zhao Xinyu: Yes, Brother! [Emoji: Crazy Nodding]

Zhao Xuan: Okay, Brother understands.

Zhao Xinyu: O.K.!

Zhao Xuan put down his phone, called Zhang Yue into the office, and instructed her to have the HR department hire a secretary. He also told Zhang Yue his sister’s requirements. He wondered if his sister had some plan for finding a secretary first.

Around noon, a junior knocked on the door and entered. After she left, Sun Qianyi told her the young woman was an artist working in the studio. The girl was performing in a neighboring city and had just flown back today.

Remembering that she was going to be in charge of the new company, she thought she might be able to collaborate with the artists at Sun Qianyi’s studio. “Sister, I need to tell you something.”

Sun Qianyi was about to start practicing her dance. Hearing Little Xin talk to her: “What is it?” she asked curiously.

“Brother is starting a new company, planning to develop the film and television industry. He’s putting me in charge of the new company. I should be going to work there in a few days.”

Little Xin is going to work? “Mhm, that’s a good thing! Sister supports you. Little Xin will do a great job!”

Zhao Xinyu smiled foolishly twice and hummed in reply.

Sun Qianyi’s unconditional support… Although she might not do exceptionally well, she won’t run the company at a loss.

“Sister, are all the artists signed to your studio dancers?” Sun Qianyi is a professional dancer. She wonders if the artists signed with the studio have other talents.

“Not all of them. A few recently signed artists aren’t good at dancing but are excellent at singing! If Little Xin wants to know more, you can ask Cai Luo.” Little Xin said she’s going to work, so she must want to know about this area?

“Okay, Sister.” Singing? It seems Sun Qianyi doesn’t know much about the artists signed to her studio. She really does need to talk to Cai Luo.

Zhao Xinyu didn’t rush to find Cai Luo for information on the artists in Sun Qianyi’s studio. It wouldn’t be too late to ask after she took on her role at the new company.

After lunch, Zhao Xinyu had nothing to do. She told Sun Qianyi and drove to the nearest mall to the studio. The clothes in her walk-in closet were all the original host’s. After removing the travel clothes, there weren’t many everyday items left. Zhao Xinyu kept a few of the travel clothes that looked decent.

Some styles of underwear weren’t to her liking either; she needed to buy new ones. In less than twenty minutes, Zhao Xinyu arrived at the mall nearest Sun Qianyi’s studio.

Parking the car and walking to the elevator, Zhao Xinyu felt a little uncomfortable. Before, her life was two points: the company and home. She had a driver and an assistant. Now, she feels a bit unaccustomed to being alone.

She didn’t feel this way when Sun Qianyi was around. Now that she’s alone, the feeling of being unaccustomed is very obvious. It seems she really needs a secretary. The third floor quickly arrived.

Zhao Xinyu looked at the display inside the elevator: The basement sells food; the first floor sells cosmetics, jewelry, etc.; the third floor sells women’s clothing. Zhao Xinyu clicked the button for the third floor.

Stepping out of the elevator, Zhao Xinyu started looking for the type of clothes she liked. Noticing a shop with clothes that looked quite nice, Zhao Xinyu walked straight in.
