After Transmigrating, I Married the Male Lead’s Sister (GL) - Chapter 43
Liu Ruoxi stood by the table, holding a plate, and exchanged glances with Li Suimei.
“It’s raining,” Li Suimei looked at the sky. A sudden downpour obscured the view, and Qin Qing’s figure disappeared into the rain.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with Huaiyan lately. She seems to be in a bad mood,” Liu Ruoxi said, walking over to Li Suimei.
Li Suimei was surprised and quickly reflected on herself, wondering if she had done something to Qin Zhan recently.
The only thing she had done was to provoke Gu Linxi. But according to the plot of the book, Qin Qing was on Qin Zhan’s side. Could it be that Qin Qing was unhappy that she was making things difficult for Gu Linxi?
The cold night wind blew in through the entrance, and goosebumps appeared on Li Suimei’s arms. She rubbed her arms and, as Aunt Zhong closed the door, she returned to the dining table with Liu Ruoxi.
In the house, Qin Yaohua was absent again. Qin Zhan came out of the kitchen with a pot of soup, wearing oven mitts. He saw Li Suimei but acted as if he hadn’t, put down the pot, and went upstairs.
“Dinner is ready,” Liu Ruoxi said.
“I’ll go call Huaiyan,” Qin Zhan replied.
“She’s already left,” Li Suimei said gracefully, pointing to the door.
A loud clap of thunder echoed.
Liu Ruoxi called anxiously, “It’s raining heavily. What kind of work has to be done at the company tonight?”
After a few words, she hung up the phone. Li Suimei withdrew her gaze and placed her chopsticks on a plate of spare ribs. Qin Zhan stopped halfway through scooping up some soup, only half a meter away from Li Suimei.
Li Suimei smiled and picked up a piece of spare rib for Qin Zhan, “Eat more.”
Qin Zhan looked up at her, “You went to see Linxi?”
Liu Ruoxi slammed her chopsticks down, “Zhan’er!”
“I did, and I told her to stay away from you,” Li Suimei said.
Qin Zhan stood up abruptly, and his chair fell to the ground with a clang. Li Suimei’s eyes immediately welled up. Qin Zhan turned and left, and Liu Ruoxi patted Li Suimei’s shoulder unhappily and followed her son.
After sitting in the living room for a while, confirming that Liu Ruoxi and Qin Zhan wouldn’t come down for a while, Li Suimei finally released the hand she had been pinching her thigh.
It really hurt, and her thigh was probably bruised. Li Suimei rubbed her leg, and her body trembled slightly.
She didn’t have much of an appetite, but after sitting for a while, she realized that the food on the table looked really good. Li Suimei thought to herself, “A person is like iron and rice is like steel,” and she picked up a spare rib and took a bite. Soon, she finished the entire plate of spare ribs.
Li Suimei burped, wiped her mouth, and went upstairs to bed.

“Drinking again?” Zhao Yi walked into the private room and took the towel handed to her by a waiter to wipe her head.
Qin Qing nodded, her face flushed from drinking. She looked like she had been steamed.
Zhao Yi said, “What’s wrong? Are you drowning your sorrows?”
Qin Qing sneered and motioned for Zhao Yi to sit down.
The door was pushed open from the outside, and a boy walked in. He sat next to Qin Qing, only a fist’s distance away.
Zhao Yi whistled, and Zhou Kai walked in, “What’s up? So excited?”
“Look,” Zhao Yi nudged Qin Qing. The boy was sitting on the carpet, leaning against Qin Qing’s feet.
“… Fvck?”
Qin Qing raised her wine glass, her eyes hazy from drunkenness, and waved at the boy, “Scram.”
“Ms. Qin…” The boy persisted, but Qin Qing kicked him to the ground.
Zhou Kai frowned, “Go away, she doesn’t like men.”
The boy: “……”
Zhao Yi chuckled. Qin Qing casually glanced up and didn’t deny it.
The boy retreated, and Zhao Yi refilled Qin Qing’s glass. Qin Qing gestured that she didn’t want any more, but Zhao Yi insisted, “Don’t be like that. How can you drown your sorrows if you don’t get drunk?”
Zhou Kai asked, “Your brother is about to get married, why are you like this?”
Zhao Yi smiled teasingly, “Is your sister-in-law not to your liking?”
Qin Qing rubbed her forehead and said displeasedly, “Say less.”
Zhao Yi and Zhou Kai clinked their glasses, both making a sound of disgust.
Qin Qing sighed helplessly and chuckled, “Cut it out.”
Late at night, a violent storm raged as Qin Qing arrived at Qin Bay. She fell asleep.
“You’ve been working overtime for 4 days and only slept for 10 hours. Even an iron body can’t withstand this,” Zhao Yi said softly, holding an umbrella over her head and gesturing for Zhou Kai to hold Qin Qing steady.
“… You should cover me too! Or at least help me carry her!” Zhou Kai said helplessly.
“I can’t, I like women, I have to avoid suspicion!” Zhao Yi said.
Zhou Kai: “……”
Zhao Yi rang the doorbell, and the night watchman at Qin Bay quickly ran to open the door. Two maids took Qin Qing and asked Zhao Yi and Zhou Kai to stay overnight, but they refused and left arguing.
“What’s going on?” Li Suimei heard the noise and found that the sound was coming from the room next to Qin Qing’s room, which was Qin Qing’s room.
The maid hesitated at the door, supporting Qin Qing.
Li Suimei: “……”
Li Suimei was about to close the door when the maid saw Li Suimei and it was like seeing a savior, “Miss Li!”
The maid was embarrassed, “We’re not allowed to enter Ms. Qin’s room…”
Li Suimei: “……”
“……”
In the end, Li Suimei compromised. She took Qin Qing from the maid and unexpectedly found that this woman, who seemed to have a curvaceous figure, was thinner than she imagined. But as much as she thought about it, carrying a drunk person in her arms was still very heavy.
Pushing open the door, the maid went to boil some soup. Li Suimei pressed Qin Qing against the wall with her body and fumbled around in the dark to turn on the light.
Qin Qing’s body was very hot and smelled of alcohol. Her chest was pressed against Li Suimei’s, and she couldn’t help but think of Qin Qing’s untimely joke.
Even though her own chest wasn’t small, she still teased me.
Li Suimei twitched the corner of her mouth. She finally managed to carry Qin Qing to the bed, took off her shoes, and was about to leave.
She put her hands on her hips, looked up and down at Qin Qing, and after thinking for a moment, she thoughtfully went to the bathroom to get a wet towel to wipe Qin Qing’s face.
As soon as she left, Qin Qing opened her eyes groggily. She moved around and found that her body was very heavy, so she could only barely turn over.
Li Suimei came out with the towel and saw Qin Qing sleeping face down. After confirming that Qin Qing could breathe, she turned and left.
Qin Qing’s feet dangled at the edge of the bed, and soon, her breathing deepened.

The air was fresh and crisp with the scent of mountain breeze. Li Suimei took a deep breath, feeling the coolness flow into her lungs, instantly waking her up.
“Meimei!” Liu Ruoxi waved to Li Suimei from the garden downstairs, “Come down.”
Li Suimei was wearing a long princess nightgown that reached her ankles, her long hair slightly curled and draped over her chest and back, making her look like a morning fairy.
She followed downstairs and ran into Qin Qing who was about to go downstairs.
“Morning,” Li Suimei greeted.
Qin Qing, with her long hair wet and hanging behind her, nodded, checked the time on her wrist, and then answered a phone call.
Li Suimei also received a message, it was from Mr. Yan, [Come to class.]
Li Suimei then remembered that she had recently taken on a teacher under the introduction of Fu Yanxiao.
