Transmigrated as the Cannon Fodder Marked by the Villain (GL) - Chapter 50
“Sister, are you feeling better now? Try walking.”
Ruan Jiyan cautiously supported Fu Qingyun as she walked. The cast on her leg had been removed. Fu Qingyun still felt a little uncomfortable walking on her right leg, probably having gotten used to the heavy cast.
“Be careful.”
Fu Qingyun, undergoing rehabilitation, couldn’t help but smile: “Ruan Bao, I can walk now. Why don’t you let go and let me try it alone.”
“No. What if you lose your balance and fall down if I let go?”
Ruan Jiyan refused to let go, insisting on walking with Fu Qingyun. Just then, a car pulled up outside, and Fu Qingyun saw it was Miss Song Nanyan, also in a wheelchair.
“Well, Yun’er, I heard you were injured in a car accident. We truly are two peas in a pod.”
Fu Qingyun didn’t want to banter with Song Nanyan further and said helplessly, “Don’t remind me. You just dislocated your arm. Besides a dislocated arm, I also broke a leg and nearly suffocated from the deploying airbag.”
Hearing Fu Qingyun say this, Ruan Jiyan’s arm around her trembled slightly. Her slender body tensed up. Fu Qingyun noticed Ruan Jiyan’s abnormality, turned around, and saw Ruan Jiyan’s eyes were red. She bit her lip and said tremulously:
“Sister, I’m so scared…”
“Ruan Bao, be good,” Fu Qingyun gently patted Ruan Jiyan’s back, comforting her: “Sister is fine. They say surviving a great disaster is followed by good fortune. My good fortune is still ahead.”
Seeing Ruan Jiyan still keeping her lips tightly sealed, Fu Qingyun kissed her pink lips directly in front of Song Nanyan.
The kiss lingered for a moment, then parted. Fu Qingyun smiled: “I’ll pass my good fortune on to you.”
Song Nanyan looked at Fu Qingyun, the old pervert, with disdain. Even though she was injured, she wouldn’t back down.
“I’m warning you, don’t pull these stunts in front of me. I have a girlfriend too.”
“Where is she?”
Fu Qingyun pretended to look around: “Where is Miss Jiang? Why didn’t she come with you?”
Song Nanyan mumbled: “She’s busy. She doesn’t have time for me.”
The mention of Jiang Yunting made Song Nanyan’s face flush from white to red. She fidgeted awkwardly, looking exactly like a nervous bride.
Fu Qingyun felt like she had seen that expression somewhere before. After a moment’s thought, she realized: it was exactly like Lin Lesheng when she was pursuing Zhou Wan.
Since Fu Qingyun’s injury, Ruan Jiyan managed to squeeze in time to learn how to cook. She progressed from stir-frying charcoal to making…
…not exactly a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, but at least a decent bowl of preserved egg and shredded pork congee. Although the congee was a little salty, Fu Qingyun ate it all, complimenting her while silently praying:
I need to heal quickly. I can’t let Ruan Jiyan enter the kitchen again, or my stomach won’t survive.
Fu Qingyun and Song Nanyan played chess until noon. Song Nanyan shamelessly insisted on staying for lunch. Fu Qingyun, unable to refuse her, had to let her stay.
“Here, let me try Little Sister Ruan’s cooking too.”
Song Nanyan rubbed her hands together with the chopsticks. Fu Qingyun suppressed a smile and quietly poured herself a glass of warm water.
“It’s just some home-cooked dishes. Ruan Bao has been taking care of me; it hasn’t been easy. I just hope this leg heals quickly so I can repay her kindness.”
“You get to eat dishes personally cooked by your precious girlfriend. My girlfriend is an absolute spoiled princess,” Song Nanyan pouted and snapped a pair of chopsticks apart: “Do you know that when my arm was dislocated, I had to force myself to learn to eat with my left hand.”
“Don’t break my chopsticks. They are very expensive.”
Song Nanyan: “…”
Ruan Jiyan’s expression was clearly displeased when she heard Song Nanyan was staying for lunch. She wanted to enjoy time alone with Fu Qingyun but couldn’t refuse the thick-skinned woman.
The stir-fried pork with green peppers was visually appealing and fragrant. Fu Qingyun looked at the dish, which seemed quite good, and placed a piece on her plate.
“Sister, let me feed you.”
Ruan Jiyan reached out to send the food to Fu Qingyun’s mouth: “Ruan Bao, actually, I… mmm…”
Fu Qingyun obediently opened her mouth, but the next second, she realized something was wrong.
Why did the stir-fried pork with green peppers taste sweet…?
It seemed Ruan Jiyan had mistaken sugar for salt again.
The smile on Song Nanyan’s face visibly dropped. She took a bite of rice and almost broke a tooth.
It was raw!
There were still hard, unidentified objects inside, gritty against her teeth.
Song Nanyan saw the warning look in Fu Qingyun’s eyes. She lowered her head and swallowed the raw rice, laughing awkwardly: “Yun’er, you truly are lucky to have such food.”
Fu Qingyun smiled: “Then make sure to eat more. Don’t waste it. Hurry up and pick some more.”
“Hahaha, alright, alright.”
Ruan Jiyan didn’t eat a single bite, focusing entirely on feeding Fu Qingyun. Fu Qingyun went from feeling awkward to enjoying it. Ruan Jiyan’s personality had subtly changed these past few days. Fu Qingyun felt for a moment that she had completely grown up.
Qiao Yunjin hadn’t called her again. The matter of the photos had been dropped. Fu Qingyun planned to go find her once her leg healed to figure out if the woman had any other schemes.
The phone notification suddenly rang. Ruan Jiyan saw it and subtly put it away.
“Sister, I need to go out and see a friend this afternoon.”
“Okay, be careful.”
Fu Qingyun never asked her where she was going or who she was meeting. She trusted Ruan Jiyan and knew that this was the other person’s private matter. Even the most intimate couples should have their private space to share freely, but ideally not cross boundaries.
However, Ruan Jiyan was not the same with her. Fu Qingyun had to report almost everything to her. Ruan Jiyan checked her phone almost every night before bed and constantly tried to extract information from her. Fu Qingyun initially indulged her, but later realized that the other woman’s possessiveness was too intense, sometimes making her feel suffocated.
Fu Qingyun considered finding the right words to talk to Ruan Jiyan about it, but she couldn’t resist the barrage of warm, gentle affection and eventually compromised, continuing to be her shrinking turtle. Being constantly managed gave Fu Qingyun a married-life feeling. She wanted to cherish this hard-won relationship and also knew that Ruan Jiyan’s heart was like a fragile porcelain doll.
Never mind. Let it go.
After Ruan Jiyan left, Song Nanyan drank water frantically, wincing. She felt the food in her stomach was going to kill her: “Yun’er, didn’t your Little Darling Ruan taste the food?”
“I don’t know. You get used to it after a while.”
Fu Qingyun sighed, wishing her leg would heal quickly. She was itching to cook again.
The initial plan was to hire a servant to cook, but Ruan Jiyan insisted it wasn’t necessary and dismissed the newly hired cook. She learned to cook online. She burned her hands several times, which made Fu Qingyun feel terrible, so she strictly forbade her from touching anything fried.
Human curiosity is boundless. After burning herself a few times, Ruan Jiyan turned cooking into a fun activity. Fu Qingyun naturally became her guinea pig. Whenever Ruan Jiyan concocted a dark culinary creation, she would feed it all to her. Fu Qingyun could only force a smile and compliment her. She didn’t want the other person to be disappointed or crush the sense of accomplishment she had finally developed.
In fact, Ruan Jiyan tasted the dishes before serving them every time. She knew her cooking wasn’t good, but seeing Fu Qingyun smile and compliment her always brought a twisted satisfaction.
The other person indulged her, cared for her, never scolded her, and didn’t even frown to show displeasure.
The sweet stir-fried pork with green peppers today was also deliberately made by Ruan Jiyan, largely because of Song Nanyan. In reality, Ruan Jiyan also wanted to see how high Fu Qingyun’s tolerance level was for her.
She was very satisfied with Fu Qingyun’s attitude today. Ruan Jiyan wasn’t going to see a “friend.” She was going to see the Alpha named Qiao Yunjin. What surprised her initially was that before she could seek her out, the woman came directly to her.
After the Ruan family went bankrupt, the Qiao Corporation, Qiao Yunjin’s company, swallowed twenty percent of the Ruan family’s shares. Ruan Jiyan knew everything. In her previous life, she died before she could reclaim the family fortune. She wouldn’t miss this opportunity.
“CEO Qiao, you asked for me.”
Qiao Yunjin sat with her legs crossed. Her slender fingers held a cigarette. She raised her chin toward Ruan Jiyan:
“Get in the car.”
“I’ve thought clearly about what CEO Qiao said last time.”
Ruan Jiyan lowered her head, tightly clutching the corner of her shirt. Her voice trembled slightly, making her appear very nervous.
“Don’t be afraid. I’m not interested in Omegas. Alphas are more to my taste, especially the one like Fu Qingyun.”
Ruan Jiyan knew exactly what Qiao Yunjin’s words meant. Her eyes darkened. She lowered her eyelids: “But CEO Qiao, I haven’t graduated from university and have no work experience.”
“Don’t worry. You can intern at the Qiao Corporation. I’ll find you a good position.”
Qiao Yunjin wore sunglasses, so her expression was hidden. She chuckled lightly: “Since you’re Yun’er’s girlfriend, it’s only right for me to take good care of you.”
She deliberately emphasized the word “girlfriend,” smiling insincerely: “A pleasant collaboration.”
“Stay and have a meal.”
Qiao Yunjin saw Ruan Jiyan about to get out of the car and said politely, “I don’t want to be an irresponsible boss.”
“No need,” Ruan Jiyan said lightly: “Sister is waiting for me to go back and bathe her.”
“Hehe… your relationship is truly intimate.”
Ruan Jiyan smiled: “CEO Qiao is joking. Sister and I are lovers. We do this every day.”
Qiao Yunjin waved her hand, signaling Ruan Jiyan to leave quickly.
After getting out of the car, Ruan Jiyan, carrying her handbag, prepared to hail a taxi back, but she happened to see Xuan Yu, who was avoiding her gaze. Xuan Yu must have seen the exchange between her and Qiao Yunjin.
“Ruan Jiyan.”
Xuan Yu walked straight toward her. She hadn’t wanted to interfere, but she still felt she owed Fu Qingyun. She didn’t want Ruan Jiyan to be used by Qiao Yunjin.
“Do you need something?”
“I saw you and Qiao Yunjin just now…”
Xuan Yu stared intently at the cold Omega: “She’s not a good person. I want to warn you not to get too close to her.”
“Thanks for the reminder.”
Ruan Jiyan said the four words indifferently, then walked around her.
“You should worry about yourself first.”
