The Green Tea Supporting Girl Is Still Playing Her Role Today (GL) - Chapter 46

Chapter 46

The car arrived at the Gu residence, and the three of them all looked at Wang Wan together, their eyes full of the meaning of seeing her off.

Wang Wan looked at Fang Ningshu unwillingly: “Shu-jie, can’t you escort me inside?”

“I’m sorry, Miss Wang, but I’m no longer Gu Zhizhang’s secretary now, and he probably doesn’t want to see me coming and going at the Gu residence anymore.”

“Even if you’re not his secretary anymore, does that mean you can’t keep playing with me? Do you have to be this cold?” Wang Wan asked again.

“I’m sorry, but this is my overtime period right now, so don’t mix in personal matters. But if you insist on asking, then my answer is—yes.”

Wang Wan stared at her for a moment, looking so aggrieved that she was about to cry: “I thought… Shu-jie, you were the best person, and you were clearly the best to me! How did you suddenly turn into this?!”

“That was just for work needs before.” Fang Ningshu kept her gaze fixed ahead and never once turned back to look at her properly.

“Hey, don’t say it like that. What if the little sister cries in my car later?” Xie Zhifei warned Fang Ningshu a bit, then turned to Wang Wan and said, “Alright, get out of the car quickly. The fuel costs a lot when it’s burning.”

Wang Wan could no longer hold it together, and her tears fell straight down. She angrily opened the door, stood outside blowing in the wind for a while, then shouted in collapse: “Help me get my suitcase!”

In the end, it was the driver who got out and took the suitcase for her from the trunk. She yelled at the car: “I hate you all!”

Xie Zhifei was quite used to it and couldn’t help but laugh: “Fang Ningshu, this is the first time she’s said that to you, right?”

Fang Ningshu glanced at that blurry figure through the rearview mirror, then indifferently withdrew her gaze and said, “She should grow up by now. No one can keep following behind her to clean up the messes forever. I’ve finished overtime, so can I go back now?”

“No problem. Where do you live?”

“Not going home. To the company.”

“?” Xie Zhifei was puzzled. “You’ve already finished overtime, so why go to the company?”

“I feel at ease staying at the company. I can always find things to do.” Fang Ningshu said.

Xie Zhifei and Wen Pinghan exchanged a glance, both stunned by her workaholic nature. Xie Zhifei asked, “What do you do for rest usually? You don’t stay home either?”

Fang Ningshu shook her head: “Home is just a place to sleep.”

“What about going out shopping with friends?”

“I have no friends. Everyone’s pretty busy, and they drift apart along the way.”

“So do you have anything to pass the time? Like singing, dancing, doing yoga, or soaking in a bath?”

“Do I look like someone with that kind of leisure?” Fang Ningshu turned back speechlessly. “In the past ten years, I’ve had to stay in the best alert state for 24 hours a day, and even work doesn’t always keep up with the busyness.”

“Tsk, did Gu Zhizhang save your life or something?”

“If you have to put it that way, then yes, it does count.”

“No wonder, then. How about this: don’t go to the company today. We’ll take you out to have some fun.”

“We?” Wen Pinghan looked at her doubtfully. “Did I say I was going to have fun?”

“So what are you planning to do today?” Xie Zhifei asked.

“I don’t know.”

“So there you go. It’s a rare weekend, and we’re all together like this, so let’s just relax a bit.” Xie Zhifei took out her phone. “Wait while I shake someone up. Zhao Xiaojing definitely knows where the fun spots are.”

Half an hour later, the three of them stood at the entrance of a high-end club, and Zhao Xiaojing came walking toward them, complaining: “Why are you so late? I already ordered the male models for you.”

The three: “”

“Withdraw, withdraw!” Xie Zhifei gave the order, and the three turned around at the same time.

“I’m just teasing you. How could I really order male models for you?” Zhao Xiaojing shouted.

The three turned back around.

“It’s female models.” Zhao Xiaojing grinned.

The three: “……”

It was Wen Pinghan’s first time at this kind of private high-end club, so she stuck closely to Xie Zhifei’s side, looking around curiously. At that moment, Xie Zhifei suddenly took her hand and whispered, “Sister, hold onto me. I’m nervous.”

“?” Wen Pinghan thought to herself, what are you nervous about? Aren’t you a regular here?

“Miss Zhao, they’re already waiting in the room.” The manager said to Zhao Xiaojing.

Zhao Xiaojing: “Mm, they’re all young and pretty, right?”

“Don’t worry, they’re the youngest and prettiest we have here!”

The three were startled at the same time, and Xie Zhifei pressed down on Zhao Xiaojing’s shoulder: “You really ordered female models?!”

“Of course. Look, we’re here.” Zhao Xiaojing pointed at the room door and said, “They’re inside. Go pick the ones you like yourselves.”

The three walked to the door in disbelief and looked in. A series of tense, fearful, and surprised complex expressions instantly dissolved into nothing, leaving only numbness—

Numbly looking at the four masseuses inside.

The four people lay on the beds, with floor-to-ceiling curtains in front where they had selected a movie, and they began to enjoy the foot-soaking life.

“Just a foot massage, so why look for young and pretty ones?” Xie Zhifei complained.

Zhao Xiaojing: “No way around it. There are no ones over thirty here.”

“What a coincidence. Now there are.” Fang Ningshu pointed at herself expressionlessly.

Everyone laughed. Suddenly, Wen Pinghan let out a muffled hum as she was pressed painfully.

Xie Zhifei turned her head to look and saw her hands clutching the pillow, with veins bulging on them. Then a little sound overflowed from between her teeth: “Mm…… Uh…… Ah, ah.”

Xie Zhifei suddenly turned back around, scratched her face, drank a sip of ice water, and then said to Wen Pinghan’s masseuse: “Beauty, go a bit lighter.”

“Got it.”

“It’s fine. It was mainly that last acupoint that hurt too much. The other parts are okay.” Wen Pinghan said.

“Mm……” Xie Zhifei suddenly felt intense pain too. The two next to her also cried out one after another, but she absolutely refused to make a sound, clenching her teeth tightly until her face turned red from holding it in.

After the foot massage, Zhao Xiaojing took them to the entertainment area downstairs. In the middle was a small bar, and in the center area, someone was performing. A few sexy hot girls were dancing slowly, the music wasn’t loud, and people sat on the sofas around, each doing their own thing.

Zhao Xiaojing found the area with the best view and ordered a few bottles of wine. Everyone drank and chatted.

“You three are all at the same company now. How about I go there too?” Zhao Xiaojing said enthusiastically. “Afei, what position do you think I’d suit? Any suggestions?”

“I suggest you don’t go.”

Zhao Xiaojing pouted, then looked at the other two. Suddenly, she felt this combination was quite magical: one was the childhood sweetheart who had a crush on Gu Zhizhang for many years, one was the personal secretary who had followed Gu Zhizhang for ten years, and one was Gu Zhizhang’s current sweetheart. Yet at this moment, they sat together drinking. How interesting!

“Where did you three come from?” Zhao Xiaojing asked.

“The Gu residence.” After Xie Zhifei said it, she noticed her expression change and immediately explained, “Wang Wan came back.”

“Oh, that bratty girl is back?” Zhao Xiaojing rolled her eyes. Suddenly, her gaze paused, and she turned to look at the handsome male model who had just come on stage, excited: “Quick, look. That guy’s about to shake his butt soon!”

The three showed little interest. Fang Ningshu sipped her wine on her own, finding her own kind of enjoyment.

Wen Pinghan got up to go to the bathroom. On her way back, she was drawn to a room where some sculptures were displayed, and a woman was adjusting the position of a sculpture. She walked in curiously and slowly appreciated them.

“Do you like them?” The unfamiliar woman approached her side and asked.

“It’s not about liking or not. I’m not a professional, so I don’t have any aesthetic sense in this area. I just think it’s a bit interesting.” Wen Pinghan said honestly.

The woman smiled and turned to look at her: “I noticed you over by the bar area just now.”

“Me?” Wen Pinghan looked at her doubtfully.

“If you need anything, find me.” The woman took out a business card and handed it to her, giving her an ambiguous smile.

Wen Pinghan was slightly surprised: “No, I think you misunderstood. I’m not……”

“Not what?” The woman hooked the corner of her mouth. “You are.”

Wen Pinghan frowned slightly: “……I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“You know, or you wouldn’t have guessed right away what kind of person I am. The way you looked at that woman can’t fool anyone. But it’s a pity—you seem to be in unrequited love.” The woman stepped closer, leaning in near her ear to whisper, “If you need anything, just find me.”

“Sis…… Sister?” Xie Zhifei looked around everywhere before spotting Wen Pinghan’s figure. But who knew that just as she reached the door, she saw an unfamiliar woman sticking so close to her, almost to the point of embracing. Her steps halted, the smile faded from her face, and she stared fixedly at the two figures.

Hearing the familiar voice, Wen Pinghan snapped out of it like from a dream. She retreated two steps sharply, glared at the woman, then walked toward the door: “Let’s go.”

“Do you know her?” Xie Zhifei swept the woman with an unhappy glance before quickly catching up.

“No.”

“If you don’t know her, why was she sticking so close to you? Was she being a hooligan? I’ll go teach her a lesson!”

“No, don’t guess wildly. Let’s go quickly.”

Their voices faded into the distance. The woman smiled in self-mockery: “What the heck. Turns out it wasn’t unrequited love after all?”

The two turned a corner. Xie Zhifei still had a belly full of questions and was about to keep asking when she nearly bumped into someone.

“Ah! Don’t you have eyes?!” The other person said fiercely.

Xie Zhifei looked closely and was shocked to see it was Wang Wan, whom they had just sent home not long ago.

“How did you end up here?”

“I’m a member here. Can’t I come?” Wang Wan glanced at them proudly. “How about you? Why are you here too?”

“We’re honored consumers. Can’t we come?”

“Hmph, get out of the way. Don’t block the path.” Wang Wan pushed past them and walked forward a few steps, then suddenly turned back around. “Xie Zhifei, I have something I want to talk to you about.”

“What is it?”

“I don’t want a third person to know.”

Xie Zhifei glanced at Wen Pinghan, who nodded: “I’ll wait for you over there.”

“Mm.” Xie Zhifei followed Wang Wan to a quiet corner. “What is it?”

There was a small room nearby. Wang Wan stood at the door and pointed inside: “Let’s go in to talk.”

Xie Zhifei didn’t suspect anything and stepped in first. Then the door closed behind her. She turned around and discovered Wang Wan hadn’t come in at all. She pulled at the door lock and shouted: “Wang Wan, what are you doing? Let me out quickly.”

“Hmph, enjoy your smugness. It must be your scheming that stole Shu-jie away. Stay inside and reflect properly.” Wang Wan said.

Xie Zhifei heard her footsteps and couldn’t help sighing.

She had been careless. She only knew Wang Wan would pull some pranks on Wen Pinghan, but she didn’t expect the first one would land on her own head.

She took out her phone, intending to call Wen Pinghan, but this narrow room had no signal at all. The message circled around for a long time but still wouldn’t send.

“Where is she?” Wen Pinghan waited a while, only to see Wang Wan come back alone.

“She’s still over there. Do you want to find her?” Wang Wan asked.

“Over where?”

“Come on, I’ll take you.”

Wen Pinghan followed her to the corner. It was much quieter here. She surveyed the surroundings, so she didn’t notice the other person almost completely blocking the door lock. She took down a stick and said: “We’re here. Go on in.”

Wen Pinghan reached the door, and it opened. She had just glimpsed a blurry figure inside when she suddenly felt someone push her from behind. Her body lurched forward sharply. Fortunately, Xie Zhifei caught her head-on, so she didn’t end up eating dirt.

“Go on in!” Wang Wan seized the moment while they were still reacting, quickly closed the door, locked it again, then dragged over a stool to sit in front of the door, not letting anyone get close.

“Sister, how did you get tricked in here too?” Inside the room, Xie Zhifei steadied Wen Pinghan.

“She said you were here. I didn’t expect……” Wen Pinghan glanced unhappily at the door, went to open it, and of course got no response. So she pounded on the door heavily twice. “Open the door!”

“I’m not opening it. Who asked you to bully me!” Wang Wan said angrily. “Just reflect properly inside!”

“How can there be such an unreasonable person?” Wen Pinghan said in anger.

“She used to do even more outrageous things than this.” Xie Zhifei smiled helplessly.

“You’re not even a little angry?” Wen Pinghan looked puzzled.

“I got angry already, but at first I really was quite angry! But now I have company.” Xie Zhifei smiled as she looked at her. “Don’t worry. Once Zhao Xiaojing and the others realize we’re missing, they’ll come looking for us.”

“We can only do that.” Wen Pinghan looked around and discovered this was a tool room, narrow and cramped, and the light was broken too.

Outside, the sky was almost dark, leaving only a bit of light in the room. The air conditioning wasn’t that strong, and their coats were left on the sofa anyway.

“Are you cold?” Wen Pinghan rubbed her arms.

“A little.” Xie Zhifei moved around in place a couple times, then took her hand. Sure enough, it was cold, so she tucked it into her own pocket.

Wen Pinghan was forced to stand right in front of her.

Xie Zhifei’s gaze trembled slightly. She lowered her eyes to look at her and, as if possessed, blurted out: “You look really huggable right now.”

Wen Pinghan raised her eyes and looked at her without a word. After a moment, she smiled lightly and offhandedly: “Want a hug?”

“Just one hug.” Xie Zhifei immediately opened her arms and embraced her, rubbing her arms and back nonstop. “How’s that? Warmer now?”

“Mm.” Wen Pinghan took her hand out from Xie Zhifei’s pants pocket and hugged her in the same way, rubbing back. “You?”

“Mm, warm!”

The two rubbed each other for a while, then couldn’t help wanting to laugh. She didn’t know who laughed first, but they swayed a few steps at their feet, like dancing, slowly swaying in this small space.

Wen Pinghan quietly listened to the breathing sounds by her ear, felt the warmth of her body in her palms, slowly lowered her eyes, closed them, and followed her in aimless random turns, hoping time could go slower, just a bit slower.

“Sister.”

“Mm?”

“You smell nice.”

Wen Pinghan’s mouth curved slightly: “What kind of nice?”

“Let me smell again.” Xie Zhifei tilted her head and sniffed at her neck. The other party tilted up her neck, as if inviting her. Her movement paused slightly, and she didn’t know what she thought of, but she couldn’t help blushing a bit. Fortunately, the light was dim here, so Wen Pinghan didn’t notice her expression.

Her mind wandered as she stared at Wen Pinghan’s neck and said softly: “Can’t tell. Anyway, it’s just very nice.”

“If you can’t tell, then forget it.”

“No way. Give me one more chance. I’ll definitely smell it out!” Xie Zhifei sniffed hard, circling around her like a dog, from neck to hair, then to the front. She cupped her face with both hands and, just as she was about to lean to her cheek, suddenly stopped.

The two gazed into each other’s eyes, the distance between their lips no more than three centimeters. As long as she leaned forward a little more, they would touch.

Xie Zhifei only felt a rush of heat surge from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head. Her whole body heated up, her face burning hot, and her heart scorching.

She knew she should naturally let go of her hands at this moment, but those hands were like glued, sticking to the other’s face and unable to come off for a long time.

Just then, the door suddenly opened, and three figures stood at the entrance—

Wang Wan: “Shu-jie, it really was them who said they wanted to go in to talk about something, so I guarded the door.”

Zhao Xiaojing: “What thing needs to hide in—Ha! Afei, Wen Pinghan! What are you doing behind my back?!”

Fang Ningshu expressionlessly pulled the door closed for them: “Sorry, my fault for not watching. You continue.”

Xie Zhifei: “……”

Wen Pinghan: “……”
