Marrying the Divorced Female Protagonist O After Transmigrating into a Book - Chapter 24

The junior is hard to fool~ Zhao Xinyu saw there was no escape, so she tilted her head up, looking at Sun Qianyi, wrapping her arms around Sun Qianyi’s neck. She used just enough force to pull Sun Qianyi closer, blocking Sun Qianyi’s soft lips.

Mmm~

Hearing the sound coming from Sun Qianyi’s throat, and feeling Sun Qianyi straighten her body, Zhao Xinyu’s head moved back a bit.

The kiss ended. Sun Qianyi leaned on her chest, panting. Zhao Xinyu opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. She suddenly noticed something she usually wouldn’t: the light fixtures on the ceiling were quite beautiful.

Zhao Xinyu watched the junior recover for a bit, then head to the bathroom, emerge after less than two minutes, go to the walk-in closet, and then back to the bathroom?

Zhao Xinyu didn’t think too much about it, waiting for the junior to finish tidying up so they could go downstairs together.

Downstairs, Ming Wenxin, Zhao Haizhou, and Zhao Xuan were all there.

“Get ready. Let’s eat.” Seeing Ming Wenxin speak to her, Zhao Xinyu replied, “Okay, Mom.”

It seemed her brother had already stabilized Mom and Dad, saving her the trouble.

At the dinner table, Ming Wenxin told her that the things in the room had been cleared out, and she could buy a desk and bookshelf now.

Zhao Xinyu smiled happily at Ming Wenxin, nodding that she understood.

Zhao Xuan had watched the surveillance video from the night of the banquet many times. After excluding some people, Zhao Xuan narrowed down a list of potential suspects. Looking at the remaining names, Zhao Xuan guessed that Sun Qianyi might have already guessed who did the drugging.

After dinner, Zhao Xuan called the two into his room to talk about the drugging incident.

Zhao Xuan first showed the surveillance video to his sister and Sun Qianyi. Zhao Xuan explained why each person was a suspect. Not knowing if Lin Fanchen was involved, Zhao Xuan kept his name on the list. After the video finished, Zhao Xuan looked at Sun Qianyi and asked, “Did you already guess?”

After watching the video, Sun Qianyi was basically certain that it was Sun Qian who did it. Sun Qian was holding a cup of red wine but didn’t drink it. That night, the table next to her was empty. When someone came to toast her, a glass of red wine appeared on the table. She had initially planned to turn down the person toasting her by saying there was no wine on the table, but then she saw the wine.

After drinking a few sips of wine, Sun Qianyi felt something was wrong after the person left. My tolerance is high enough to drink a whole bottle without issue. After drinking a few sips of red wine at the banquet, she felt increasingly unwell. “It might be my half-sister.”

Zhao Xuan was stunned. Sun Qianyi has a half-sister?! Clicking his mouse, Zhao Xuan paused the video on a girl. “Is this the girl?”

Seeing it was Sun Qian, Sun Qianyi looked at Zhao Xuan and nodded.

“Hey, I saw this girl when I went shopping for clothes.”

Sun Qianyi felt somewhat surprised that Little Xin ran into Sun Qian while shopping. “Little Xin, are you sure you ran into her?” she asked, indicating the person on the computer screen.

Zhao Xinyu nodded: “That’s the girl!”

Zhao Xuan was still in shock. He knew Sun Qian too. Lin Fanchen used to constantly talk about liking a junior in college, and he had seen Sun Qian a few times because he spent so much time with Lin Fanchen.

Sun Qian had frequently messaged him recently, then suddenly stopped. It was probably because he hadn’t replied much. Now, seeing that the person who might have drugged Sun Qianyi was this person, Zhao Xuan suddenly felt a sense of dread.

Moreover, Lin Fanchen had messaged him the past two days, showing off that he was about to marry his junior. He had forgotten to confront him because he was busy with the company. It seems I need to give Lin Fanchen a warning, or he’ll fall into her trap.

“Why would Sun Qian drug you?” Zhao Xuan suddenly asked Sun Qianyi.

Zhao Xinyu and Sun Qianyi looked at Zhao Xuan. Sun Qianyi smiled: “There are many reasons. Sun Qian only returned to the family two days ago. I don’t think I need to explain too much. I’m sure Brother Xuan understands?”

“I understand. I’ve been meaning to tell you that Lin Fanchen liked Sun Qian in college. I didn’t realize you two had this connection. Your divorce from Lin Fanchen…”

Afraid that Little Xin would misunderstand, Sun Qianyi quickly interjected: “There’s nothing between Lin Fanchen and me. The divorce might have something to do with Sun Qian, but Lin Fanchen and I would have divorced eventually.”

“Alright. Just wanted to tell you.”

Seeing her brother still defending Lin Fanchen, the scumbag, Zhao Xinyu was somewhat speechless. “Brother! You’re actually defending Lin Fanchen?!”

Zhao Xuan was confused: “Lin Fanchen and I grew up together. I’m not trying to defend him. It’s a fact that Lin Fanchen liked Sun Qian in college. Xinyu, you can’t be angry about this.”

“…Brother, that’s not why! Lin Fanchen is a total scumbag for cheating on Sister after they got married. Brother, you need to stay away from him in the future. I ran into Lin Fanchen when I was shopping for clothes! And Sun Qian. Lin Fanchen actually didn’t recognize me! He probably has too many women around and forgot I’m your sister. And he tried to snatch my dress! Hmph!” As she spoke, Zhao Xinyu felt genuinely angry. Sun Qian is too manipulative. Why did she insist on taking the dress when someone else already had it?

There was something like that? Lin Fanchen had met his sister many times but didn’t recognize her? “Maybe it’s because Lin Fanchen didn’t see you much when you were in high school and college.”

“…” Zhao Xinyu looked at Zhao Xuan, speechless.

“Alright, we have a general idea of the situation. Let’s wrap this up,” Zhao Xuan said.

Zhao Xuan is hopeless. Even with all this, he still doesn’t think Lin Fanchen is a bad person? “Brother, let me use your phone for a moment.”

“What do you want to do?” Zhao Xuan asked, confused, not knowing what his sister was up to.

“Are you going to let me use it or not?”

“Yes, yes!” Saying this, Zhao Xuan took out his phone and handed it to his sister.

Zhao Xinyu opened Zhao Xuan’s phone, clicked on the messaging app, and found Lin Fanchen. Based on the way Lin Fanchen looked at her in the mall, this person was no good. She opened the chat box, took a selfie, and sent it over.

The other party quickly messaged back: Yo! Zhao Xuan, you’ve changed? You’re sending me photos of beauties now.

Zhao Xinyu hadn’t had time to type, but she laughed out loud seeing Lin Fanchen’s message.

She tapped the phone keyboard and typed: What do you think of this girl?

Lin Fanchen: She’s definitely a rare stunner! Zhao Xuan, where did you meet such a beautiful girl?

…Zhao Xinyu! She wanted to spit on the screen right now! Looking at the photo, this person still didn’t recognize that he had met her. Incredible!

Lin Fanchen: Do you like her?

Zhao Xuan: I just thought she was pretty; I wanted your opinion. I don’t like her!

Lin Fanchen: That’s a shame. Good brother, if you don’t like her, pass her on to me? A stunner like that should be well loved…

Zhao Xuan: Didn’t you tell me you’re about to marry Sun Qian?

Lin Fanchen: Tsk. I thought you had turned over a new leaf. Turns out you haven’t. Even if I marry Sun Qian, does that mean I won’t go to places like bars? Girls, especially beautiful ones like the one you sent, it would be a waste not to sleep with them!

Zhao Xuan: …

Lin Fanchen: I shouldn’t have told you so much. I thought you had changed. You should find a partner too. Don’t think badly of me; it’s normal for a man to have a few women…

Zhao Xinyu couldn’t bear to read on. She handed the phone back to Zhao Xuan and took Sun Qianyi back to the room.

After his sister and Sun Qianyi left, Zhao Xuan opened his phone and immediately saw the conversation his sister had with Lin Fanchen. Seeing Lin Fanchen’s shameless words, Zhao Xuan was furious. He immediately clicked Block. He almost deleted the contact, but suddenly remembering something, Zhao Xuan unblocked him.

Zhao Xuan: How dare you! I’ll kill you!

Just before they reached the door, Sun Qianyi stopped: “Little Xin, why did you send your own photo?”

“…I was in a hurry and didn’t think…”

“You’ve never sent me a photo.”

“I’ll send you photos often from now on, okay?” Saying this, she pulled Sun Qianyi into the room, then heard Sun Qianyi say, “Okay.”

Later that night, the junior pestered Zhao Xinyu into one round of exercise.

Waking up early the next morning, and remembering Zhao Yanran’s drinking last night, Zhao Xinyu went downstairs and made hangover soup.

Pouring a bowl, Zhao Xinyu brought it up and knocked on the door. Surprisingly, the person inside was awake. “Who is it?”

“It’s me, Xinyu.”

“Come in.”

Zhao Xinyu opened the door and walked in a few steps. Zhao Yanran was lying in bed, playing on her phone. “I made hangover soup for Auntie. Auntie, drink it while it’s warm.” Zhao Xinyu placed the hangover soup on Zhao Yanran’s bedside table.

“Did you make it yourself?” Zhao Yanran asked with a smile.

“Yes. Auntie, remember to drink it all. I’m going out now.” As Zhao Xinyu was about to leave, Zhao Yanran asked, “When did you learn to make these things?”

Zhao Xinyu looked at her and said, “I learned from an older sister during a trip once.”

“Mhm, Auntie will drink it all.”

Zhao Xinyu smiled at her and left Zhao Yanran’s room.

Zhao Yanran seemed alright, so there shouldn’t be anything serious. Losing a loved one is a very painful thing. Zhao Xinyu couldn’t fully empathize, only imagine how much it hurts. If someone could appear and smooth out the pain in Zhao Yanran’s heart, that would be great.

After drinking a glass of water, Zhao Xinyu heated a cup of milk in the microwave and took it upstairs. Sun Qianyi was still sleeping when she came down. She wondered if she was awake now.

She knocked lightly, and there was no response. Zhao Xinyu slowly opened the door and walked in. The bed was empty. Zhao Xinyu put the milk on the desk and noticed sounds coming from the bathroom.

Zhao Xinyu changed her clothes, then sat down at the desk. She printed out the stock trends she had purchased and the related news. Zhao Xinyu marked special trends and news, then put them away.

The furniture in the study had been cleared out. She just needed to buy the necessary items for the study and move them in.

The set design sent by the designer was not to her liking. Zhao Xinyu planned to decorate the study herself. She opened her phone and started looking at designs for desks, bookshelves, and other furniture.

Sun Qianyi finished showering and came out, seeing Little Xin sitting at the desk, looking at her.

“Sister, come drink the milk while it’s warm.”

Looking at the milk on the desk, Sun Qianyi walked over. Touching the glass, it was warm.

Picking it up, Sun Qianyi drank all the milk in the glass and put it down. Looking at Little Xin, she remembered she hadn’t given her a morning kiss.

Zhao Xinyu watched Sun Qianyi finish the milk and put the glass down. Less than two seconds later, Sun Qianyi leaned in and kissed her.

…

This junior is such a hooligan!

Pulling apart their lips, Sun Qianyi looked at Little Xin: “Morning kiss.”

Author’s Note:

Zhao Xuan: How could Lin Fanchen be like this!

Zhao Xinyu: Lin Fanchen is very manipulative too!
