The Whole World Is Waiting for Them to Divorce [Transmigration Into a Book] - Chapter 11
In the novel, the heroine was a pure and flawless silly-sweet girl. Her character setting had never collapsed from beginning to end, so Si Yu should not have doubted her. But what she had seen just now felt very subtle.
Liang Yufei and Lu Wei were so close. There was no way she did not know that Si Yu and Lu Xi were already married. Since she knew, why did she keep leaning against Lu Xi?
Any normal person would know to avoid suspicion.
Si Yu could not hear what they were saying and did not know what they were trying to do, but from that one glance alone, she was certain the heroine was not as simple as she appeared on the surface.
Don’t ask why. If you asked, it was a woman’s sixth sense.
“Auntie, where’s my luggage?” Si Yu asked the housekeeper.
The housekeeper said, “I helped you put it in Eldest Miss’s room.”
“Thank you, Auntie.” Si Yu jogged upstairs and found her suitcase.
There were many things inside, most of them clothes. Si Yu dug out a storage pouch from a hidden compartment, opened it, and found the red-and-white floral swimsuit.
This swimsuit was something Si Yu had bought in passing the day before yesterday when she went to buy underwear. At the time, it had only been a sudden whim. She had thought that when she had time, she would let this body learn how to swim too. She had not expected it to come in handy so quickly.
Si Yu had deliberately chosen a conservative style. Compared with Liang Yufei’s, which exposed almost her entire body, this one had no competitiveness whatsoever.
An idea flashed through Si Yu’s mind. She asked the housekeeper for a pair of scissors, then cut off the ruffles along the seams. In this way, it became a sexy and seductive bikini.
After changing into the swimsuit, Si Yu draped a large bath towel over herself and went downstairs, only to run into Old Madam Lu. “Grandma.”
Old Madam Lu looked at her curiously. “Why are you dressed like that?”
Si Yu lifted one corner of the bath towel to show her the swimsuit underneath and said solemnly, “Last time I fell into the water and almost drowned. The weather is nice today, so I want to learn how to swim.”
Old Madam Lu still felt lingering fear over what had happened last time, so she very much agreed with her learning. “None of us know how. Who will teach you?”
Before Si Yu could respond, the housekeeper helped her out. “Eldest Miss knows how to swim. She can teach her.”
Old Madam Lu hurriedly said, “Quickly go call Xi Xi.”
“No need to call her, Grandma. They’re by the pool.” Si Yu smiled slyly and said, “Grandma, do you want to watch us learn how to swim?”
“All right.”
When Si Yu pushed Old Madam Lu to the poolside, Lu Wei was still clinging to Lu Xi and refusing to let go. “Sis, you swim better than I do. You teach Yufei.”
Liang Yufei’s heart suddenly jumped. Her face was flushed, and her eyes looked at Lu Xi without hiding anything. Her voice carried a hint of shyness and excitement. “President Lu, can you teach me?”
Lu Xi frowned.
Lu Xi’s impression of Liang Yufei was still stuck on that meal, when the director said there was a young actress who was very suitable for the female lead’s image and had brought her over for Lu Xi to see. At the time, Lu Xi had thought this girl was very pure, very genuine, and poised. She had not been like this now, deliberately coy and speaking in an affected voice.
She did not remember what Liang Yufei had worn that day. She only remembered that she had been dressed very plainly, worlds apart from today’s provocative and revealing image.
Everyone loved beauty, and there was nothing strange about wearing a bikini to swim. But wearing so little while constantly trying to press herself against Lu Xi was very suspicious.
Lu Xi was not sure whether Liang Yufei was doing it on purpose. She only knew that every time the other woman tried to stick close, she could not help thinking of those women who had once tried to seduce her.
Thinking of this, Lu Xi felt a wave of annoyance. It did not show on her face, and she said coldly, “Sorry, I don’t have time.”
As if she had not expected to be rejected, Liang Yufei’s expression stiffened, and her smile froze.
Lu Wei did not want to let Lu Xi leave and was just about to help persuade her when someone appeared in the corner of her eye. Her eyes suddenly widened, and she pointed at Si Yu, angrily saying, “What are you, vicious woman, doing at my house?”
Old Madam Lu patted the armrest of her wheelchair and scolded, “Wei Wei, mind your manners! If you dare speak to Qiao Qiao like that again, I’ll hit you!”
Lu Wei was both wronged and furious. “Grandma, you actually, for the sake of an outsider…”
“Shut your mouth.” Lu Xi lightly interrupted Lu Wei before she could say something reckless.
With just one look from her, Lu Wei wilted. Her lips moved, but she did not dare make another sound.
Lu Xi saw Si Yu wrapped in a bathrobe, her long hair twisted into a bun, looking fresh and bright. She paused, then said, “What are you doing?”
Si Yu raised her brows. “Coming to ask you to teach me how to swim.”
“I don’t have time.” Lu Xi wanted to use the same excuse to brush her off.
But Old Madam Lu said, “Qiao Qiao is your wife. Even if you don’t have time, you still have to teach her.”
Lu Xi was helpless. “Grandma, I…”
“Don’t say anything else. Start.” Old Madam Lu gave her no chance to argue at all.
Lu Xi: “…”
Grandma really was powerful!
Si Yu silently gave Old Madam Lu a thumbs-up in her heart. Under everyone’s eyes, she slowly untied the bath towel and hung it on Old Madam Lu’s wheelchair. Then she raised her head, puffed out her chest, and turned in a circle, displaying her proud figure from every angle to everyone present. Facing Liang Yufei, whose face had turned livid, she lifted her chin slightly.
Liang Yufei bit her lower lip.
She had never expected Si Yu to appear, much less expected the other woman to also be wearing a bikini. Most importantly, Si Yu’s chest was larger than hers, her waist thinner than hers, her legs longer than hers, and her skin paler than hers. Her gaze was so sharp, clearly carrying provocation.
In terms of figure alone, Liang Yufei knew she had lost. With so many people suddenly present, she felt somewhat at a loss. She touched Lu Wei and said, “I don’t want to learn anymore. Let’s go.”
“Why not learn? I don’t believe she’d dare hurt you again in front of so many people!” Lu Wei deliberately raised her voice.
“But…” Liang Yufei’s gaze was uneasy. She glanced at Lu Xi again and was somewhat reluctant to leave just like that.
Si Yu twisted her slender waist as she walked over to Lu Xi and deliberately brushed her chest against Lu Xi’s arm. “Do you want to change into a swimsuit too?”
Lu Xi did not know what trick she was trying to play this time. She pulled away and, with a tense face, said, “No need.”
“Then what will you do when you get in the water later?” Si Yu drew circles on Lu Xi’s shoulder with her index finger.
Lu Xi blocked her restless hand and said with a faint smile that was not quite a smile, “I can teach without getting in the water.”
Actually, Si Yu did not want Lu Xi to change into a swimsuit either, in case Liang Yufei stole a look. But how could she teach without getting in the water?
Full of doubt, Si Yu entered the water.
Her whole plan had been disrupted, and Lu Wei was so angry her teeth itched. She forcefully pulled Liang Yufei and said, “We’re going in too.”
Liang Yufei looked at Lu Xi, who was standing on the shore and was so beautiful she seemed dazzling, and hesitated. “Forget it, Wei Wei.”
With so many people watching, she could not do anything.
The cool water slowly rose past her chest. Si Yu looked up at Lu Xi by the poolside and deliberately looked confused. “What do I do? Hurry up and teach me.”
Lu Xi pointed her chin toward the ladder used to enter the water and said faintly, “Hold the railing and practice kicking your legs for ten minutes first.”
Si Yu: “…”
If she had not learned how to swim before, Si Yu really would have believed her!
When other people taught swimming, they got in the water together and taught hand in hand. Who taught by standing on the shore and giving orders like a general?
Lu Wei and Liang Yufei were still watching like tigers stalking prey. If Lu Xi refused to give her any face like this, wouldn’t those two laugh at her?
Si Yu raised both hands high and said sweetly, “The railing is hard to hold. Hold me instead.”
The corner of Lu Xi’s mouth twitched, and by instinct, she wanted to refuse.
“Xi Xi, Qiao Qiao is scared. Hold her,” Old Madam Lu, who was watching from the side, said before she could.
Lu Xi: “…”
Lu Xi truly had a headache. She had only happened to pass by and was forcibly dragged over by Lu Wei. Now, Grandma was pressuring her, and she could not leave even if she wanted to.
Seeing Si Yu standing in the water in a bikini, looking lost and helpless, Lu Xi hesitated slightly, then crouched down and very unwillingly reached out her hand.
Si Yu puffed out her chest and looked at her with a bright smile. “My new swimsuit. Does it look good?”
Lu Xi’s gaze moved downward, sweeping over her bare shoulders, her delicate collarbones, and when it brushed over her chest, it paused.
Calmly shifting her gaze away, Lu Xi said impatiently, “If you want to learn, then learn properly. Don’t talk so much.”
“All right.” Si Yu grabbed her hand. For an instant, a wicked little thought rose in her heart, wanting to pull Lu Xi into the water too. But she was afraid that someone would get angry, so she held back.
Following Lu Xi’s terrible method, she was afraid she would not learn even after a year.
But Si Yu’s goal was not swimming. She grabbed Lu Xi’s hand and pretended to kick her legs. As she did, she said, “Why aren’t you looking at me? Is this right?”
Everywhere Lu Xi looked, there was dazzlingly pale flesh, rising and falling with the waves… Expressionless, Lu Xi said, “Whatever.”
Si Yu knew she did not sincerely want to teach her, so she kicked once and stopped once. From time to time, her body surfaced from the water, displaying her proud figure to Lu Xi.
Lu Xi: “…”
Liang Yufei, standing on the shore, turned red and pale by turns.
Lu Wei could not stand Si Yu’s affected behavior, but because Grandma was there, she could do nothing to her. She said bitterly, “She clearly knows my sister hates her, but she still clings to her and refuses to let go. How shameless!”
But Lu Xi was willing to cooperate…
Liang Yufei felt terribly sour inside. She pressed her lips together and turned to leave.
“Yufei—” Lu Wei hurriedly chased after her.
Seeing that they were gone, Si Yu stopped. Her shoulders collapsed, and she pouted as she complained, “I’m so tired.”
Lu Xi glanced at Liang Yufei’s hurriedly departing back, then returned her gaze to the person in the water. “Finished acting?”
She was seen through again?
Si Yu put on an innocent expression that said, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about,” shook Lu Xi’s arm, and acted spoiled in a pinched voice. “Pull me up.”
Lu Xi: “…”
Chef Xie had already prepared lunch.
Si Yu was soaked all over, so she went upstairs to change first. When she came down and saw Liang Yufei, she was slightly surprised.
She had thought that after the scene she had caused, Liang Yufei would be too ashamed to remain and leave. In the end, not only had she not left, she was even staying for lunch.
Old Madam Lu knew Liang Yufei was Lu Wei’s good best friend and broke the family rule, warmly chatting with Liang Yufei at the dining table. “Miss Liang, you’re an actress too? What dramas have you filmed? Do you have a boyfriend?”
Liang Yufei answered obediently, “I’ve only filmed one historical drama. There’s a modern drama that will begin filming two months from now. I… I don’t have a boyfriend.”
If she was talking, then talk. What was she looking at Lu Xi for?
By the end of the meal, Si Yu was even more certain that Liang Yufei had improper intentions toward Lu Xi. She poked the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks again and again, saying to Little B with her thoughts, “Do you know what role I played in my last drama?”
Little B: “What was it?”
Si Yu: “The same as the original Si Yu. A vicious female supporting character.”
Little B: “Oh. And then?”
“And then?” Si Yu smiled darkly and moved her wrist. “Today, I want to be ‘Si Yu’ for once.”
Little B: “???”
After eating and drinking her fill, Si Yu took advantage of Liang Yufei going to the bathroom and quietly followed her.
“Miss Liang.”
Liang Yufei turned and saw it was her. Her expression changed drastically, and she pressed her body tightly against the wall, saying in panic, “What are you trying to do?”
“Nothing. I just want to chat with you.”
“I don’t want to chat with you.” Liang Yufei backed away as she spoke.
Si Yu pressed closer step by step, not caring whether she wanted to or not. “Lu Xi and I are in a legal marital relationship. You should know that, right?”
Liang Yufei: “…”
Si Yu smiled coldly and said, “Seducing a married woman—does Miss Liang want to be a mistress?”
Liang Yufei’s body froze. A barely noticeable trace of ruthlessness flashed through her timid, deerlike eyes.
