The Wife Insists On Being My Top (GL) - Chapter 13

That evening, everyone was eating dinner together.

The cannon fodder felt a bit uneasy, her eyes secretly glancing to the left—

The female lead’s third aunt was currying favor with Wang Yishu, talking about the female lead’s childhood, how well-behaved and quiet she was, “Sometimes she’s practically mute, not nearly as quick-witted as Luran.”

How could she not be quiet? A good girl, raised in the Lu family as the daughter of a mistress. The cannon fodder inwardly sneered.

This third aunt had a lot of screen time in the original story. You know, the kind of gossipy elder, mean and unpleasant to listen to, specifically used to bully the female lead, to achieve the purpose of readers empathizing with and pitying the female lead. As for why she had so much screen time, the book said she was the younger sister of the Lu family chairman’s first wife, but no other information was mentioned.

As for the second female lead…

The cannon fodder looked to the other side, wondering what she was here for.

After observing for a while, the cannon fodder understood: she was here to annoy the female lead.

Because there were guests present, the meal was conducted while chatting. After a while, when the third aunt learned the second female lead’s identity, she gave her a familiar round of warm greetings, asking if she was married, if she had a partner, and why she hadn’t found one yet, and what type she liked. And this idiot, probably with water in her brain, actually said, “Actually, I quite like Miss Wang’s type.”

The female lead’s eyebrows furrowed.

“Pfft, cough cough cough!” The cannon fodder almost choked on her food.

“Luran’s type?” Wang Yishu’s tone was quite surprised, as if she was about to laugh.

“Yes,” she said seriously, which only added to the absurdity of her words, “Lively, cheerful, and very interesting.”

“You—” she pointed at the second female lead angrily, glanced at the female lead’s unpleasant expression, and continued to the second female lead, “Stop it, you’re not allowed to joke about me!”

“I’m not joking, Luran, I really think you’re interesting.”

“You’re not allowed to call me Luran!”

Wang Yishu laughed loudly, “Good, good, I didn’t expect my granddaughter to be so popular one day, it’s really not easy.”

“Grandma, I—” the cannon fodder suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

The female lead gently held her hand, smiling as usual, “Grandma, Luran has always been popular, so I’m very happy to be married to her.” It was the tone of a gentle and virtuous wife that sent chills down one’s spine.

Although she and the female lead were in a same-s3x marriage, because it was a marriage of convenience, there was still a distinction between marrying and being married. Generally, outsiders called the female lead “Madam” and her “Ms. Wang,” but at this moment, the cannon fodder felt uneasy.

She lowered her head even further, “Yes, yes, yes…”

The second female lead didn’t give up, she pressed on, “Is that so? But I heard you two seem more like best friends than a married couple.”

The female lead’s eyes tightened, “Who told you that?”

“Everyone’s saying it, saying you…”

“I’m going to the bathroom!”

To avoid a confrontation, the cannon fodder decided to take a break.

As for what the second female lead wanted to say next, the cannon fodder knew very well, because she herself had spread the rumor about the best friends.

Saying that they were just a couple in name, although they seemed to have a deep affection, they had never touched each other. The “true love over time” they were seeing was just a friendship.

At first, she thought that if the second female lead pursued it in the future, she could use it to save her life. But she didn’t expect that because of this rumor, the female lead was not only gossiped about and ridiculed, but also openly mocked by the second female lead. It was a sin. The female lead must be eager to peel the second female lead’s skin off.

Wait, speaking of which, will the later plot turn into forced love?

Oh no, please don’t.

The cannon fodder was having a headache. While she was washing her face in the bathroom, the persistent second female lead followed her again.

She walked slowly to the door, leaned lightly against the door frame, and looked at her through the mirror, “Did I make things difficult for you?”

“No, not at all,” the cannon fodder forced a smile.

“Really?”

“Really,” she continued to force a smile.

As she spoke, the second female lead straightened up. Her eyes glanced back almost imperceptibly. The female lead was standing outside, secretly watching. But the cannon fodder didn’t notice, so when the second female lead suddenly approached her the next moment, she was caught off guard and froze in place.

Just as she was about to back away, the second female lead grabbed her hand.

“What are you doing!” The cannon fodder almost jumped.

The second female lead still looked sincere, “Shh—”

The cannon fodder lowered her voice, “Shh what?”

“I’m sorry about last night. I’m sorry for what happened with your wife. I’m sorry to have made things difficult for you.”

“That… it’s okay, really, you should talk to—”

She tried to break free, but the second female lead grabbed her tighter and pulled her closer, sincerely saying, “Can you forgive me?”

“I… uh…”

“Can you?”

“Yes… of course…”

After speaking, the second female lead suddenly laughed. She saw that Lu Xiuchun at the door had finally left in anger, and she was very proud.

The cannon fodder saw that it was a mocking laugh and pulled her hand away, “Are you crazy?”

After speaking, she grabbed a tissue, pushed her away angrily, and left.

“Crazy, completely crazy. Why is this person the second female lead? What was the author thinking?” The cannon fodder muttered while rubbing the tissue on her wet hands and throwing it into the trash can by the door.

She pushed the door open, but was suddenly pulled into the empty utility room by the stairwell.
