The Real Daughter Needs Saving by This Vicious Female Cannon Fodder? - Chapter 50

In the end, of course, nothing happened.

Gu Xia lay on the bed, gazing at Ning Anran’s profile, feeling increasingly that it was she who couldn’t bear to be apart from Ning Anran.

Her phone buzzed with vibrations. Gu Xia stretched out her slender arm and grabbed Ning Anran’s phone from the bedside table.

She had bought this phone herself and set the password.

Gu Xia effortlessly unlocked Ning Anran’s phone. The contents were clean and simple—no gaming apps, just a bunch of work-related software.

Initially, Gu Xia had only intended to mute Ning Anran’s phone, but the messages popping up on the screen revealed the culprit behind them.

There were several consecutive text messages.

The sender’s number wasn’t saved in the contacts.

Clearly, it was from an unknown account.

Anran, I admit I didn’t handle things well that day. Here’s 2,000 yuan—take it.

Though I can’t give you much now, you know better than I do what kind of person Gu Xia is.

Anran, don’t keep deluding yourself.

The person had sent many messages, but the obnoxious tone instantly gave away their identity.

Who else could it be but that insufferable male lead?

Cheng Chen, who are you harassing so early in the morning?

Cheng Chen, sitting on his bed, perked up at the sound of his phone notification—only to be instantly infuriated by the message. Even if Anran rejected him, she would never be this sarcastic.

Gu Xia, is this your phone?

Did you lock Anran up again to bully her? Listen here, Gu Xia—if you dare harm even a single hair on Anran’s head, I’ll make sure you regret it!

Gu Xia couldn’t care less about his empty threats.

Right now, Ning Anran’s heart belonged entirely to her. That crawling cockroach’s opinions meant nothing.

Is that all you’ve got? Pathetic.

Even elementary school kids don’t play like this anymore, loser.

Reading Gu Xia’s reply, Cheng Chen’s face flushed red with rage, his nostrils flaring.

“System, break his phone—preferably make it drop into the toilet while he’s using it!”

“Host’s request received—target: destroy the male lead’s crucial communication device!”

“One point deducted!”

“Only one point? That’s surprisingly generous.”

Gu Xia couldn’t help but recall the cliché novels she’d read to understand the life of a villainess. She was impressed by the system’s fairness.

Other systems would’ve extorted way more points for this.

“Of course! Small business, honest dealings!”

“Host, the male lead’s phone has successfully plunged into the toilet and is now completely non-functional. Are you satisfied with this service?”

“Remember to leave a five-star review~”

Standing in front of the bathroom, Cheng Chen clutched his head and let out a frustrated scream.

“Damn it!”

“How did my phone just fly out of my hand and into the toilet while I was using it?!”

“This makes no sense! The bathroom design is flawed!”

Staring at his thoroughly soaked phone, Cheng Chen clutched his chest, feeling so angry his limbs had gone stiff.

She had no idea if that long message he just sent would make that venomous woman Gu Xia repent and mend her ways.

Receiving the system’s confirmation, Gu Xia noticed the account on the other end had indeed stopped sending messages. Without hesitation, she prepared to block Cheng Chen’s account.

Annoying her was one thing—she had all the time in the world to deal with that little wretch Cheng Chen. But bothering Ning Anran? That was absolutely unacceptable.

—Swift and merciless!

“Gu Xia, awake?”

Ning Anran’s voice carried a hint of hoarseness as she wrapped her arms around Gu Xia’s waist, curling her body to fit perfectly against Gu Xia’s back.

This instinctive act of “seeking warmth” left Gu Xia frozen, not daring to make a sound.

What could be more awkward than being caught red-handed snooping through Ning Anran’s phone?

Probably nothing in this lifetime!

“Mm, Ning Anran, Cheng Chen sent you a message.”

Gu Xia decided to lay her cards on the table. After all, Ning Anran would see the message history in her phone sooner or later.

“You can reply for me.”

“I don’t want to see him.”

The tightening embrace nearly took Gu Xia’s breath away. Over the past few days, Ning Anran had grown increasingly clingy, and Gu Xia had begun to form a vague suspicion.

Was Ning Anran worried that her parents, now back, might prevent her from seeing Gu Xia?

“Why don’t you want to see him?”

“Ning Anran, do you dislike Cheng Chen?”

This feeling of competing with the male lead gave Gu Xia a secret thrill. That’s right—someone as stunning as Ning Anran shouldn’t be wasted on him!

With her cheat abilities, Gu Xia ought to keep Ning Anran all to herself!

At these words, Ning Anran’s drowsy eyes fluttered open. Gazing at Gu Xia’s beautiful profile, her tone turned sultry.

“Because the spot closest to the Second Miss Gu belongs to me alone.”

Unfair! This was downright cheating!

Not only had Ning Anran masterfully dodged the question, but she’d also flirted with her in the process!

Was there anyone as shameless as her?

What’s worse, Gu Xia realized she actually enjoyed being coaxed like this by Ning Anran.

“Are you satisfied with that answer?”

If she moved any closer, Gu Xia suspected Ning Anran might kiss her ear. Yet Ning Anran maintained perfect control—not an inch too far, not an inch too near.

“Ning Anran, why would you say something like that?”

“Don’t you think… you’re being really…”

Rolling over, Gu Xia couldn’t resist pinning Ning Anran beneath her. Her long hair cascaded over Ning Anran’s snow-white chest.

She had always thought Ning Anran was beautiful—achingly so.

In her past life, before her awakening, Gu Xia had felt jealousy, hatred, and longing.

But in this life, as she confronted the desires in her heart, she realized her feelings for Ning Anran were neither jealousy nor hatred.

It was the urge to kiss her.

“Really what?”

Far from shrinking back in fear at their closeness, Ning Anran seemed eager to see what the usually evasive Second Miss Gu would do next.

“Really makes me want to shut you up.”

Threatening Ning Anran while playing the tough act was something Gu Xia still had the nerve to do.

She lowered her head until their noses brushed.

“If the Second Miss Gu wants it, I’ve said before—it’s hers anytime.”

Ning Anran didn’t move. She even raised her hand and pressed it against Gu Xia’s waistline.

That touch! Gu Xia felt like she was about to collapse onto Ning Anran the next second!

The pretentious Gu Xia, lightly touched by Ning Anran, deflated like a balloon, her courage completely draining away.

“Ning Anran, I need to get up…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Ning Anran planted a kiss on Gu Xia’s forehead.

The warm sensation was accompanied by Ning Anran’s murmured “Good morning.”

Ding! Dong! Female lead’s affection points +1!
