The Wife Insists On Being My Top (GL) - Chapter 16

Ever since they came out of the study, the female lead had been exceptionally calm.

On the way home, she gazed at the passing scenery outside the car window, while the cannon fodder looked at her three-quarter profile, her mind filled with thousands of thoughts, wondering whether to confess to her, whether to apologize to her.

The taste of guilt was truly unbearable. Her little heart was almost twisted into a pretzel, but the female lead still didn’t say a word.

She seemed to be thinking about something, something that went straight to the heart. The cannon fodder could only bear it and not disturb her.

As soon as they got out of the car, the female lead hugged her tightly.

“Luran…” She called her name in a very subtle tone.

It sounded like she was about to cry, but also like she wasn’t.

The early autumn wind was blowing fiercely, it was so cold, but the cannon fodder felt like her whole body was about to burn.

This feeling made the cannon fodder realize that something was wrong. She put down her hands that were about to hug her, “Wh-what are you doing…”

“Thank you for taking the blame for me in front of Grandma…”

She tried to make light of it, “Hey, what kind of blame is that? That’s just my grandma’s authoritarianism exploding.”

The female lead didn’t recover from this. Her breathing gradually became heavy in her ear, then gradually returned to normal. Then she hugged her even tighter, “I’ve already confessed to Grandma about what happened that night, and I’ve also told her that I will work in the core departments of the group.”

After saying that, she let go of her and looked at her seriously.

Was this her method?

The cannon fodder also looked at her, and she suddenly felt that the female lead might want to confess to her.

While constantly saying “no” in her heart, she was also thinking of excuses to refuse.

But the female lead hesitated, and finally just smiled gently at her, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.” After saying that, she walked forward, and after two steps, she turned back and said, “Let’s go, why are you standing there?”

For a moment, the cannon fodder felt the autumn wind blowing into her heart, leaving it empty, with nothing inside.

How cheap.

She followed her, pretending that nothing had happened.

When they went to sleep at night, she still had her back to the female lead. And the female lead, who was supposed to be facing her, suddenly turned her back to her tonight as well.

Why?

Why?

Why exactly?

She didn’t even know what she wanted to know. In the darkness, she quietly moved her body, slightly closer to her, slightly turned her head back, and then she asked, “Are you asleep?”

“No, what’s wrong?”

As for what she wanted to say, it was even more blank.

But she really wanted to ask her some things, feeling itchy in her heart, so uncomfortable.

“Was that your first time? What happened tonight…” How embarrassing, what am I talking about!

“It was my first time.”

“But you seemed very… very calm, I was a little…” She wanted to say that her legs were a little weak, but she felt embarrassed, so she stopped, “A little at a loss…”

“I was also very shy, but you didn’t notice…” The second half of the sentence was obviously lower.

“Then why did you later…” The cannon fodder turned to look at her back in the darkness, “Why did you do that later?”

“Do what?”

“Just… that!”

“…”

“Can you turn around?”

“…”

“It’s so cold behind me when you turn your back to me…”

“I’m sorry, if you don’t like it, I’ll next time…”

“No! I think it was actually… uh, okay, and we are strategic partners, so kissing shouldn’t be a big deal, don’t you think?”

“Yeah…”

She and the female lead said some confused words, and then fell asleep confusedly.

She felt inexplicably at ease, as if she had found an excuse to accept the female lead’s deep kiss.

But the female lead was the opposite of her.

••••

The next day, they went out to work together as usual.

Before this, the female lead actually worked in the group, but she didn’t touch the core departments, only participated in some ordinary projects, so their offices were actually far apart, and they never appeared in the company together.

But today was different.

Today, they not only appeared in the company together, but the person who greeted the female lead was the president’s assistant, Sister Ya.

This chief assistant’s seniority in the company can be said to be quite deep. She was personally trained by Wang Yishu back then, and it was thanks to her that the cannon fodder was able to rely on her half-baked skills to get to this day without any problems.

During rush hour, they took the elevator directly to the top floor together, and there were constant glances at them from around, to be precise, at the female lead.

According to the female lead’s identity, no one thought she was here to work in the company properly. They felt that she, who was married through a marriage alliance, was particularly different. Not only did they take extra care of her at work, but if she worked overtime a little, it was simply a gift to their project team. The female lead couldn’t stand that kind of praise, so she basically took all the overtime work home.

This morning, the female lead was in the limelight, although she still looked listless and uninterested.

However, the cannon fodder, who was already thick-skinned, was even more unaware of this at this time.

She felt satisfied because of the sense of security, and even thought that if strategic partners could kiss, there might be a next time.

But as the saying goes, extremes turn into their opposites, and joy turns into sorrow. As soon as she got to the office door, the secretary gave the cannon fodder a large bouquet of champagne roses.

“What is this?”

The secretary glanced at the president’s wife next to her and smiled awkwardly, “Uh, there’s a card on it.”

“Card?” The cannon fodder took it out and saw that it read: “Dedicated to you, Jinqiu.” She read it out, and then shouted, “Jiang Jinqiu?!”

After a moment, she didn’t know what she was thinking, and handed it to the female lead, “What beautiful flowers, I think they should be for you.”

The female lead smiled coldly, “Didn’t she say she liked you?” After saying that, she followed the chief assistant to understand the work.

Author’s Note:

The cannon fodder on the surface: Please don’t confess to me, please don’t confess to me.

In reality: We’ve already kissed, but you’re not confessing to me!
