The Wife Insists On Being My Top - Chapter 46

The female lead’s moment of glory was perfectly timed, witnessed by the second female lead who had just arrived.

If it had been a normal situation, the cannon fodder would have certainly yelled in her mind: Crazy! Why couldn’t you have come a moment earlier!

But this time, she didn’t. She just stared blankly at the female lead, feeling deeply ashamed of her own despicable behavior.

The conflict between the mother and daughter, which was merely a facade, quickly subsided with the arrival of the second female lead.

The dinner party continued.

The cannon fodder looked towards the figure of the second female lead exchanging pleasantries with Mrs. Lu. After taking her seat, the second female lead glanced at them, or rather, at the female lead.

Like her, the second female lead, being the heir to a family business, received a level of respect that ordinary people couldn’t obtain. But the female lead was different. Even though they were both women, the Lu family had never considered their two daughters as heirs, choosing a male from a side branch instead. In this world where female-female marriage was possible, this situation seemed very strange, especially since both sisters eventually married another woman.

Of course, from the author’s perspective, it was easily explained. All the settings were for the sake of drama. But if that weren’t the case, the female lead could have competed with the female supporting character for the position of Lu family heir.

As the wine flowed and the night wore on, fewer people remained at the table, but the party hadn’t ended yet. A few heads were still clustered together, chatting idly. The second female lead certainly wouldn’t miss this opportunity. As soon as the female lead got up, she stepped forward and stopped her, saying, “Ms. Lu, would you mind if we spoke in private?”

“I’m sorry, it’s not very convenient. I’m a little tired,” the female lead said, grabbing the cannon fodder’s hand beside her, making to leave.

The cannon fodder looked down at their clasped hands, still feeling a little dazed. It was all like a dream.

The female lead’s hand was so warm.

Upon hearing this, the second female lead looked helpless, then gave the cannon fodder an incredibly blatant look, signaling her to give them some space.

The cannon fodder was stunned. The female lead then looked at her, “Luran, what do you think? You’re tired too, right?”

“I… I think…”

She quietly squeezed the female lead’s hand, but didn’t dare to grip it tightly. The words of refusal were stuck in her throat, unable to come out.

Seeing this, the female supporting character, who had finally found an opportunity, had a flash of inspiration and immediately stepped forward, “You’ve finally come back, don’t be in such a hurry to leave.” She cheerfully grabbed their hands, “Don’t rush, sit for a while, sit for a while.”

As she spoke, she secretly separated the two wives’ clasped hands, forcefully dragging the cannon fodder away, turning back to the female lead and saying, “Anyway, you two have things to talk about. She can borrow me for a moment, I’ll return her right away.”

The cannon fodder was unwillingly dragged to a corner by the window. Once they stopped, she impatiently pulled her hand away from the female supporting character, “What do you want now?”

The female supporting character’s smiling face suddenly turned serious, “Wang, what I’m about to say is very important, you must listen carefully!”

“What exactly do you want to say?”

“I’m telling you—” her words suddenly stopped.

The cannon fodder followed her gaze and looked behind them, seeing the female lead walking towards them.

“How did they finish talking so quickly…” the female supporting character muttered in surprise.

“It’s too late, I’ll make it short,” she lowered her voice and sped up her speech, “Wang, your wife is one hundred percent going to be with that Jiang Jinqiu. So I think we need to help each other out a little.”

“What… what are you talking about?”

“Anyway, that’s the gist of it. Take out your phone.”

“Huh?”

“Take it out!”

“Oh…” she blankly pulled out her phone.

“Open your WeChat QR code!”

After doing so, the female supporting character scanned the code and added her WeChat. “We’ll discuss the details in person later.”

After saying that, she raised a bright smile at the female lead, who had already walked over, “Alright, alright, here she is.” She even gave her a little push.

The cannon fodder stumbled and fell into the female lead’s arms. The female lead held her shoulders, glanced down at her, and said to the female supporting character, “Okay, we’re leaving then. Take care of your mom.”

“Tch, she’s always like that, don’t mind her. Bye.” She waved with a smile.

It was surprisingly harmonious. Where was the ridicule, bullying, and jealousy from the original story?

After getting into the car, the cannon fodder asked the female lead about it. The female lead smiled and said, “What do you want then? Do you want us sisters to pull each other’s hair in front of you?”

“It’s not that, I just find it strange…” she muttered, recalling the words the female supporting character said to her by the window, “There have been so many strange things lately…”

“Indeed.”

The car’s engine hummed steadily, the night deepened, and the city’s neon lights outside the window burned brightly.

“By the way, what did Xiuling say to you just now?”

“…” Her gaze and thoughts returned from the window. The words rolled in her throat, but she swallowed them in the end, “Nothing, she wanted to add me on WeChat, but she was embarrassed to let you know.”

In the moment of silence, she felt the female lead looking at her.

She glanced at the driver, then looked at the female lead, “Now that we’re alone…”

After saying that, she lunged forward and hugged the female lead.

“I just remembered that I didn’t get a good look at the place you lived when you were little…” she whispered in the female lead’s arms.

The female lead’s palm gently stroked her back, “It’s okay, we’ll come back next time.”
