After Transmigrating, I Married the Male Lead’s Sister (GL) - Chapter 8.1

In the evening, Li Suimei was watching the sunset on the balcony of her room. She was taking pictures of the sunset and afterglow of Qin Bay with her phone. In the lens, there were flying birds in the distance and vast greenery nearby.

Qin Bay was adjacent to a wetland park, and a part of the park belonged to private property. Compared to the more than ten acres of land inside the villa, the surrounding area was much larger.

Li Suimei casually took a few pictures and then put down her phone with a sigh. She had clearly felt in recent days that the excitement and shock she had felt a few days ago had cooled down.

Her phone vibrated, and the screen automatically switched to an incoming call from Ji Wenjing.

Li Suimei answered, “Mom.”

Ji Wenjing sighed and asked, “Meimei, how are you living in the Li family?”

Li Suimei lowered her eyes, “It’s okay.”

Ji Wenjing was silent for a moment, then said, “Has Qin Qing made things difficult for you?”

Li Suimei: “No.”

“Your dad’s assistant came to the house a while ago and said that Qin Qing is holding up a project that conflicts with the Li’s project,” Ji Wenjing said, “Meimei, I see that Liu Ruoxi likes you very much. If you have the chance, you should also mention it to your Aunt Liu.”

Li Suimei was silent for a long time before replying softly, “Okay.”

Ji Wenjing didn’t expect her to agree so readily, and was also taken aback. She said softly, “… Meimei, Mom feels like you’ve changed a bit since you hit your head.”

Li Suimei’s heart skipped a beat, “Why would you think that?”

Ji Wenjing sighed and said, “A mother knows her daughter. Mom feels that you’re not as close as before.”

Li Suimei’s nose turned sour. Before and after she crossed over into this book, although her quality of life had improved significantly, as soon as she thought about how she had come to this strange world from the real world, and how her precious life had been summed up in just a few words by others, and how she had foreseen her tragic ending in advance, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of panic, helplessness, and an urgent desire to break free and take a gamble.

While she indulged herself in this luxurious lifestyle, she was also constantly alert, knowing that all of this was fleeting. If the plot didn’t develop to the point where she was robbed of her marriage by Qin Zhan, she might not even survive next year. If the plot progressed smoothly, she would be the pathetic female supporting character who was robbed of her marriage by the female lead.

With all the vicious things she had done in the past being exposed, Qin Qing would not let her off easily.

“Mom, I’m fine,” Li Suimei closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, those inexplicable emotions had disappeared. “Qin Zhan is very good. I shouldn’t have treated him like that before. I want to win him back now.”

Ji Wenjing smiled, “So it’s because you like Qin Zhan. Mom noticed that you haven’t been as lively as before recently. Zhan’er is a good boy. During the half-year he lived in the Li family, Mom and Dad saw it. He’s someone you can rely on.”

Li Suimei hummed in agreement, and the two of them no longer talked about work matters. They just chatted casually about the trivial matters of their relatives.

A cousin of the Li family, it seemed to be Ji Xicheng, was going to come to Haishi in a few days. Haishi had always been the business center of the country, with constant business opportunities and strong competition. That kid was stubborn and didn’t want to rely on his family, so he wanted to come and try his luck, and the family had arranged for Li Suimei to help him set up an office here.

Li Suimei’s head was as big as a bucket, “Why do I have to do it?”

Ji Wenjing clicked her tongue, “You little brat, didn’t you ask me to find opportunities for you to practice? Didn’t you finish your graduation project?”

Li Suimei: “… An office, wouldn’t it be fine to design it according to the standard?”

“Your cousin said a bunch of nonsense, you can contact him yourself later!”

“Oh…”

After the phone call with Ji Wenjing, it was already late. Li Suimei took a shower, changed into a pure white suspender nightgown with a fluffy skirt, and sat in front of the dressing mirror applying a face mask.

There were two gift boxes at her feet, which were gifts sent from Qin Zhan in City W a few days ago.

Li Suimei didn’t open them. After thinking for a while, she suddenly picked up the limited-edition TF wall calendar beside her and checked the time.

It was already the end of July.

Li Suimei gently pressed her left ring finger on her cheek to promote the absorption of the essence, and typed with her right hand holding her phone.

[Qin Zhan, are you doing well in City W?]

She clicked send.

Li Suimei focused on her skincare and waited for about two minutes before receiving a reply from Qin Zhan.

[Meimei, I’m doing well.]

Li Suimei: [I miss you, when are you coming back to Haishi?]

The other side paused for a long time, and the typing indicator appeared on and off. Qin Zhan might be hesitating, or he might be wondering why she would send such a message.

Li Suimei remembered that in the original story, it was probably around this time, in the scorching July sun, Qin Zhan went deep into the front line, accompanied by Gu Linxi, a local. Gu Linxi took him through the streets and alleys, and for more than half a month, Qin Zhan walked through mud and over mountains, and huddled with Gu Linxi under a small piece of sky during a rainstorm. In the rain, both of them were blinded by the misty night, and Gu Linxi tiptoed to kiss Qin Zhan, and Qin Zhan couldn’t help himself.

This message was seen by the female lead, Gu Linxi, at that time.

Qin Zhan: [Meimei, I’ll be back soon.]

Li Suimei: [Qin Zhan, do you still like me?]

After a long wait, Li Suimei looked at Qin Zhan’s profile picture and stared for a while.

After a long time, Qin Zhan replied: [Meimei, what’s wrong with you?]

Li Suimei took off her face mask and smiled, casually typing: [I’m waiting for you to come back.]

When she read the novel before, she had a protagonist complex and only knew that the original character was not good to Qin Zhan. The readers all felt sorry for Qin Zhan, who had poured all his courage into a dog. Now that she had become the original character, she looked at it from a different perspective and realized that although the original character didn’t accept Qin Zhan, she might not have hated him in her heart.

No one had expected that Qin Zhan’s affection was not the only one.
