After Transmigrating, I Married the Male Lead’s Sister (GL) - Chapter 9.1

Li Suimei spent over half an hour putting on a very thoughtful light makeup. When she was done tidying up, it was already 10 o’clock in the morning. Qin Zhan’s flight landed at 11:30, and if she went now, it would be just right.

She was a little excited. After all, this was the first time she was meeting the female lead in person. She didn’t know how it would feel to see the CP she had genuinely shipped in real life.

As soon as she got in the car, she received a call from Fu Yanxiao.

Li Suimei: “What’s wrong?”

There was a lot of noise on the other end, and there were even screams. “Where are you? Are you coming bungee jumping?”

Li Suimei: “… No.”

Fu Yanxiao was unhappy, saying, “You’re cooped up in the Qin family all day pretending to be virtuous? We’re all the same kind of fairies, why are you acting so virtuous?”

Li Suimei scoffed, “I’m going to pick up Qin Zhan.”

“Huh?” “Qin Zhan is back?”

The other side suddenly became quiet, away from the noise, and Fu Yanxiao’s voice became clear: “Then I’ll go too, at that airport.”

Li Suimei rubbed her brow, “Why are you joining in the fun?”

Fu Yanxiao laughed twice, “Why else? I asked you to help me get into the Qin’s studio, and you didn’t help, so of course I can only go and block Qin Zhan!”

Li Suimei: “Suit yourself.”

After hanging up the phone, Li Suimei casually sent the airport address to Fu Yanxiao.

Actually, this way, she wouldn’t have to go to the airport to meet the female lead alone. With both the protagonist and the supporting character present, the supporting character would definitely look inferior. Li Suimei had a mischievous idea. Fu Yanxiao was also a supporting character, so it wouldn’t hurt to have a backup, right?

When she went to pick up Qin Zhan at the airport, Li Suimei didn’t tell him. It was a surprise, and it also happened to be the first time the original character had met the female lead without knowing Gu Linxi’s identity.

She met up with Fu Yanxiao first. The girl rushed over in a hurry, wearing heavy makeup and a simple tracksuit.

Li Suimei glanced at Fu Yanxiao. In the book, when the original character met Gu Linxi, Fu Yanxiao wasn’t with her.

Li Suimei touched her lips. They were clean, with no bl00d.

So, the plot of the book wasn’t completely unchangeable!

Li Suimei’s heart pounded faster!

Fu Yanxiao panted and looked at her strangely. She said unkindly, “Why are you looking at me so weirdly?”

Li Suimei smiled, “I think you look good today.”

“…”

Li Suimei smiled, her two dimples deepening, looking harmless and soft. Fu Yanxiao felt a little embarrassed and reluctantly complimented, “…You look good too.”

Li Suimei was in a great mood and pressed her lips again.

At the exit, a crowd of people poured out, and she raised her foot to look. She quickly found Qin Zhan.

Li Suimei raised her hand high above her head and waved, shouting, “Qin Zhan!”

Qin Zhan looked over and saw Li Suimei smiling brightly. He paused noticeably.

Li Suimei smiled even more deeply, and with Fu Yanxiao’s puzzled voice beside her, she saw a thin figure emerge from behind Qin Zhan.

Fu Yanxiao: “Is that Qin Zhan? Is the girl beside him his assistant?”

Li Suimei didn’t speak. Gu Linxi’s appearance was not as bright and beautiful as Qin Qing’s, nor did she have Li Suimei’s seemingly innocent and alluring smile that was so deceptive.

Her features were not outstanding, but her temperament was good, and her eyes were bright, fitting the description of the female lead as a Cinderella in the original story.

No wonder Fu Yanxiao was unconsciously attracted to her. But it was just curiosity. Was Gu Linxi really Qin Zhan’s assistant? The two of them seemed worlds apart. To get together, it would be very difficult.

“Qin Zhan!”

Li Suimei ran towards him, her skirt flying up like a butterfly landing in Gu Linxi’s eyes.

“Qin Zhan!”

Her voice was also sweet and coquettish, and her arms were wrapped around him, looking very intimate.

Li Suimei was distracted by Gu Linxi and quickly noticed the girl’s gaze go from momentary dimness to relief.

That’s right, Gu Linxi’s personality was bold and daring. Although she had feelings for Qin Zhan, she would definitely choose to distance herself from Qin Zhan as soon as she knew about Li Suimei’s existence.

Fu Yanxiao’s gaze shifted between Li Suimei, Qin Zhan, and Gu Linxi. She secretly sized up the three of them, noticing the awkwardness in Qin Zhan’s hand that was being held by Li Suimei.

Li Suimei smiled and asked Qin Zhan, “Qin Zhan, who is she?”

Gu Linxi was poised and ready to introduce herself, but Li Suimei answered for herself, “She must be your assistant, right? So young, and she’s dressed…”

Li Suimei paused and looked at Qin Zhan, saying, “You should bring someone who can take care of you.”

Gu Linxi smiled, raised her eyebrows, and stepped forward towards Li Suimei, “Miss, my name is Gu Linxi, and I’m not Qin Zhan’s assistant. Besides, I see that he’s a tall and strong man. Does he need a nanny when he goes out?”

Li Suimei’s face darkened. Qin Zhan pulled his hand away and ruffled her hair, “Meimei, she’s a friend of mine.”

Li Suimei pursed her lips. She still had something to ask Qin Zhan, so she didn’t want to upset him.

The male and female leads parted ways. Their first meeting was on a rainy night in City A. Gu Linxi had been on a business trip to City A and, after working late, had found Qin Zhan soaked to the bone at an empty bus stop in the middle of the night. She had given him an umbrella.

The second time, Qin Zhan had visited Gu Linxi’s company as a client, making a surprise inspection. Remembering their past, he had helped Gu Linxi solve a problem with some troublemakers. Now, she had received recognition from Qin Zhan and the headquarters and had the opportunity to come to Haishi with Qin Zhan to learn and improve.

Before leaving, Gu Linxi said neither humbly nor arrogantly, “Mr. Qin, it’s not working hours now, so I won’t stay by your side any longer. See you tomorrow.”

Qin Zhan replied, “See you tomorrow.”

After she left, Fu Yanxiao leaned over and whispered, “Qin Zhan and this girl have something going on.”

Li Suimei glanced at her, “What do you mean?”

Fu Yanxiao said, “It feels strange. They went on a business trip together. Could they be… and Qin Zhan even spoke up for her. Why aren’t you angry?”

Li Suimei pressed her lips together. She was just pretending on the surface. Only she knew what she was really thinking.

She… wasn’t as open-minded as she imagined. After switching roles, she knew about her future rivalry with Gu Linxi and how she would be repeatedly suppressed. She would be crushed into worthless trash by Gu Linxi, the Cinderella.

Thinking about it, Li Suimei felt a lump in her throat.

Fu Yanxiao continued, “It’s also true. She’s too ordinary. And you’re engaged to Qin Zhan, so you don’t need to care about these roadside wild flowers.”

Li Suimei nodded casually, her mind unsettled as she watched Gu Linxi leave. The female lead had made her appearance. What should she do?

Qin Zhan picked up his checked-in luggage, and the three of them got into the car. He gentlemanly gave up the back seat to the two girls and sat in the passenger seat, talking quietly with the Qin family driver about his recent experiences.

He had obviously become more cheerful. After spending more than half a month at the grassroots level, he had also tanned a little. All of this was thanks to the female lead.

It was quite a new feeling to watch someone gradually become indifferent to her.

Li Suimei flicked a strand of hair from her ear. Fu Yanxiao interjected the conversation, and she mentioned wanting to work at Qin’s company, asking Qin Zhan if he could give her a position above manager.

Qin Zhan frowned, and his gentle appearance revealed a hint of unquestionable authority.

Fu Yanxiao pouted and protested, “Brother Qin, I know that Meimei is about to join the company, and you’ve even given her the position of design director! If you don’t agree, then I’ll just follow Meimei to work!”

Li Suimei didn’t want to go to work, and she even wanted to shut Fu Yanxiao up. Going to the company meant interacting with Qin Qing, and interacting with Qin Qing meant…

Wait!

Li Suimei suddenly looked up. She had almost forgotten the inspiration she had had a few days ago.

Would it work? And she hadn’t had a chance to try it yet.

From the passenger seat, Qin Zhan’s official voice came over, “Xiaoxiao, even if Meimei goes to the company, she has to start from the bottom. Qin’s company doesn’t allow nepotism.”

Fu Yanxiao: “But she’s your fiancee!”

Qin Zhan’s eyes narrowed, “It’s the same.”

Li Suimei’s eyes flashed, and she just smiled at Qin Zhan.
