Pretending To Be Affectionate [Transmigration] - Chapter 10

Of all of Ling Yu’s ex-boyfriends, Li Jun was one of the top five most absurd.

Li Jun was different from womanizers like Jiang Song. He was a good man who was loyal and dedicated. He was a rare example among the wealthy second-generation of Jiangcheng, as he focused on his career and love life rather than wild parties. When Li Jun first met Ling Yu, he wasn’t interested in her at all. He had another woman in his heart—his “white moonlight” and “cinnabar mole.”

Rumor had it that she was a charming and alluring beauty. To win her over, Young Master Li secretly opened a law firm. He spent a fortune on her when she was in trouble, and he had been secretly in love with her for many years but was too shy to confess his feelings.

Three years ago, when Ling Yu first transmigrated into the story, the first person Ling Taiguo forced her to go on a blind date with was Li Jun. They arranged to meet at a cafe. Li Jun brought two beautiful women with him, one on each arm. Ling Yu, on the other hand, had two handsome men following her. The six of them stared at each other.

The first time they met, their antics were identical. Ling Yu and Li Jun became friends under the pretense of a mutually beneficial relationship. For a while, people in their circle were saying that Li Jun and Ling Yu were getting married. In reality, their relationship was strictly professional and purely for show. Ling Yu was clear about her role as his temporary girlfriend and was ready to leave the moment Li Jun won over his “white moonlight.” Li Jun was also a very cooperative ally. When Ling Taiguo would have one of his moments, Li Jun would show up at a moment’s notice to act as her fake boyfriend. Those were the most comfortable days Ling Yu had since she came into this world.

But their happy days didn’t last long. Their relationship ended after five months. Ling Yu still winced at the memory. The reason was that Li Jun had confessed his love to his “cinnabar mole.” He didn’t expect his alluring beauty to pin him against a wall and coldly ask, “We’re this close. Do I look like I’m affected by you?”

Perhaps the blunt rejection was too cruel. The alluring beauty’s cold and heartless eyes looked at Li Jun as if he were a dry well. After that day, Li Jun fell into a slump. As an ally, Ling Yu showed him a tiny bit of concern.

She never expected that this gesture would become a ray of light in Li Jun’s dark world. He fell in love with Ling Yu, but at the same time, he couldn’t forget the alluring beauty who had rejected him. As an upright young man who had grown up in a good family and was deeply dedicated, Li Jun found himself caught between two loves and couldn’t pull himself out. So he broke up with Ling Yu.

Of course, that wasn’t the end. It was the beginning of Ling Yu’s torment. After the breakup, Li Jun’s mental state became unstable. This was followed by a cycle of stalking, following, and begging for reconciliation.

Ling Yu had always believed in a clean break. She also had an illness that made her instinctively reject being close to men. Perhaps her way of rejecting Li Jun was too similar to his “white moonlight” beauty. Li Jun’s love turned into hatred, and he directed all his anger at Ling Yu. He became even more relentless, disrupting Ling Yu’s peaceful life. He even spoke nonsense, trying to brainwash Ling Yu into generously accepting his polygamous relationship…

In the end, Ling Yu used some tricks to make Li Kai discover his son’s mental state. Only then did she find peace. For years, the Li family claimed that the young master had gone abroad for further studies and was in charge of the family business’s international affairs. In reality, he went abroad to get treatment for his mental illness.

[No way…] 008 was dumbfounded. [Host, what kind of men have you met?]

Ling Yu smiled. [So you can rest assured, I don’t feel anything for men.]

008 paused, then chuckled naughtily. It changed its voice to sound like Gu Qing’s cold voice. [My sweet Yu Yu… Do you like your sister? Oh, yeah… Sister wants Yu Yu to touch her!]

[…] Ling Yu: [Damn it. I’m reporting you…]

Ling Yu’s throat felt dry. She couldn’t help but curse. She thought about it, and the voice the system had just mimicked was indeed identical to Gu Qing’s. The voice was clear, like the sound of a spring in the mountains.

But Gu Qing’s real voice wasn’t entirely clear. When she spoke with her cruel lips, her slow syllables had a hint of an ambiguous huskiness. Ling Yu secretly glanced at the woman three meters away. She thought about what it would be like for Gu Qing to be lying on a soft bed, with a cold, divine expression on her face, and making those seductive sounds. It was more alluring than a man lying in bed. Ling Yu sighed.

If she ever needed to sleep with someone, an emotionless person like Gu Qing wouldn’t be a bad choice. That woman, without doing anything, with just her upturned phoenix eyes and her lips opening and closing, perfectly embodied the tension and celibacy of an alluring beauty.

Aside from her bad personality, every inch of her face was perfectly in line with Ling Yu’s aesthetic. She had to admit that after the system’s “temptation,” Ling Yu was tempted for a moment. If Gu Qing wasn’t a “no-romance” protagonist, Ling Yu would have gone for it. She would have pinned the woman down on the bed and watched as her phoenix eyes showed a hint of beauty and passion that was only for her. Just thinking about it, the sense of conquest was exhilarating.

Of course, Ling Yu was only thinking about it. She had always been a “go with the flow” type of person. Gu Qing was a “no-romance” protagonist, a strong, pitiful, and beautiful character. If she actually got involved with her, there would be an endless amount of trouble. Ling Yu shook her head and smiled.

Behind her, Li Jun’s footsteps grew closer. His leather shoes clicked on the floor, like a ticking countdown. Everyone in the interview hall was looking at Ling Yu. She subconsciously looked up at Gu Qing and saw that at some point, she had moved and was now standing in front of her.

Ling Yu thought she was going to grab the voice recorder and instinctively put it in her pocket. Gu Qing noticed her movement and let out a cold snort. She then looked at the approaching Li Jun and asked in a low voice, “What? Do you know him?”

The woman’s voice was deep and husky, devoid of coldness and dangerously sexy. Ling Yu’s mind replayed the sound the system had just made. She shook her head awkwardly. “I don’t know him!”

As soon as she said that, a shadow fell over her. “Yu Yu, it’s been two years. I’ve missed you so much…”

Ling Yu’s expression froze. Next to her, Gu Qing crossed her arms and let out a meaningful “Oh.”

The next second, Li Jun tilted his head, looked at Gu Qing with a hopeful expression, and said hoarsely, “Long time no see. How are… how have you been?”

Ling Yu: …

She tilted her head and looked at Gu Qing. She thought about Li Jun’s description of his alluring “white moonlight” in the past, and after a moment, she couldn’t help but swear. “Damn it!” This was too good!
