The Wife Insists On Being My Top (GL) - Chapter 18
No, of course not. The cannon fodder was standing in the cold wind outside the restaurant, shrugging and stamping her feet, waiting for the second female lead.
It was almost 8:30, she hugged herself tightly, looking left and right, but there was no sign of anyone.
Good, very good, it’s best if she doesn’t come. She didn’t want to eat with her anyway.
The weather forecast said it would rain tomorrow, so it was especially cold tonight. The cannon fodder deliberately didn’t wear a coat, and deliberately didn’t take shelter indoors or in the car.
Time ticked by.
Unbeknownst to her, the person she was waiting for had entered the restaurant next door with her wife.
It was a Chinese restaurant. Because of the wetland park’s overall tone, the atmosphere inside the restaurant was similar to the western restaurant next door, even the portions were the same, each dish was small, exquisitely plated, but the taste was mediocre.
“How is it?” Jiang Jinqiu asked softly, sitting across from Lu Xiuchun, as Lu Xiuchun ate her first bite elegantly.
Lu Xiuchun glanced at her and said truthfully, “It’s average.”
Jiang Jinqiu smiled, “Is that so? Maybe I’ve been abroad for too long. This restaurant is quite delicious to me.”
Lu Xiuchun didn’t respond, and she didn’t care, continuing to speak on her own, “By the way, do you have any recommended Chinese restaurants?”
Lu Xiuchun still didn’t respond.
Jiang Jinqiu wasn’t annoyed, instead, she smiled and said, “If you keep this up, I’ll go next door and have a candlelight dinner with your wife.”
Lu Xiuchun had no choice but to name a restaurant she used to frequent.
Jiang Jinqiu was satisfied, “Good, we’ll go together next time.”
“Don’t force me to turn on you.”
“Oh, oh, oh, come on, let me see how you turn on me.”
Lu Xiuchun glared at her, and Jiang Jinqiu had to restrain herself, “Okay, I’m not kidding. I really wanted to apologize to you. I’m sorry, I wasn’t in a good mood that night, so…”
Lu Xiuchun noticed a fleeting awkwardness on her face and smiled, “President Jiang, are you perhaps embarrassed?”
“Uh, you could say that.”
Jiang Jinqiu was skilled at manipulating people, she understood that revealing some insignificant truths could make the other person lower their guard.
But tonight, Lu Xiuchun didn’t let down her guard as she expected, not even a little. She was tense all night. Gradually, Jiang Jinqiu began to feel bored, and at the same time, her competitive spirit was ignited, she looked at her, revealing her true emotions in her eyes.
It was an aggressive gaze.
Lu Xiuchun felt uncomfortable and got up, “I’m going to the bathroom.”
After coming out of the bathroom, Lu Xiuchun didn’t return to the table. While keeping an eye on Jiang Jinqiu’s direction, she walked out of the restaurant.
After turning a few corners, Lu Xiuchun saw her wife standing shivering in the cold wind.
Her thin body was jumping, almost curled into a ball.
Lu Xiuchun rushed over.
Before she could see who it was, the cannon fodder felt her arm being grabbed.
She staggered, and the female lead’s angry voice rang out, “Why are you outside? Why didn’t you go in?”
“Because… achoo!” She sniffed, because she thought she could earn a bigger favor this way, thinking her body was strong, even if she caught a cold, it wouldn’t be a big deal. But looking at the female lead’s eyes, she couldn’t say anything. She lowered her head, looking up at her, “I’m sorry, don’t be angry… I’m just… just out of my mind…”
“That’s right, you’re out of your mind! Where’s your car?”
“It’s parked in the underground parking lot…”
The female lead was exasperated, grabbing her, but not knowing where to go. After thinking for a moment, she quickly took off her coat and put it on her.
Once she was wrapped up tightly, the female lead’s expression softened slightly. She noticed that her wife still looked frightened, so she quickly let go of her, “I’m sorry, did I scare you…”
“No, I’m just surprised.” Yes, it was so surprising, the soft and gentle wife female lead actually had a day when she was angry.
“Surprised…” The female lead murmured, her eyes returning to her wife’s. She really wanted to ask her what kind of role she played in her eyes.
“Xiuchun, did you come to find me on purpose?”
“No, it was just a coincidence.” She looked away and walked forward, “Let’s go, take me to your parking spot.”
The cannon fodder followed, “Didn’t you say you had work with Sister Ya tonight? Did Sister Ya come here too?”
The cannon fodder didn’t think much about it, after all, business matters, having a meal was normal.
But this sentence touched a sore spot for the female lead, she suddenly stopped, “Do you want me to admit that was an excuse to keep you here?”
“Xiuchun…” The cannon fodder was stunned, she had never heard such an aggressive question from the gentle female lead.
The female lead had really changed a lot recently.
Was it because of her? Or because of the second female lead?
It should be because of the second female lead.
But even knowing this, she couldn’t help but ask, “Did… something happen…”
What kind of answer did she want to hear? She didn’t understand.
She looked at the back of the female lead’s head in a daze. After a moment, she saw the female lead turn around.
The female lead faced her, and her gaze was so hot.
At this moment, a drop of water fell on her nose. She looked up, was it going to rain? The weather forecast clearly said it would rain tomorrow.
“Luran, don’t you really understand?”
The female lead said again. Her tone returned to its usual softness, like she was complaining.
The cannon fodder looked away from the sky, “I…”
Her heart began to set off a dazzling firework, but in an instant, she saw the second female lead come out of the restaurant in front, looking at them.
Crap, the fireworks seemed to have ignited a fire in her heart.
She was doomed…
“I… that, I…”
The female lead looked at her expectantly, “Don’t you understand my feelings at all?”
Understand! Of course I understand!
But under the second female lead’s gaze, the next second, the cannon fodder bowed ninety degrees to the female lead with a death-defying attitude, “I’m sorry! Xiuchun, I… I’m actually a Pillow Princess, you know what a Pillow Princess means? The kind without hands. I’m sorry for keeping it from you. Xiuchun, we won’t be happy together.”
There was no sound from above for a long time.
After a long time, she looked up curiously, and the female lead was frowning, looking at her like she was an idiot.
“I’m serious,” she solemnly held the female lead’s hand, like holding the hand of a sister who had gone through thick and thin with her, “Xiuchun, I think we might be incompatible.”
“Are you sure that’s all you want to say?”
The cannon fodder roared in a low voice, “Isn’t that enough! Sexual harmony is very important!”
“In that case, can I be the top?”
••••
“Huh?”
“I said I’ll be the top.”
“You’re not allowed to say that anymore!” She quickly covered the female lead’s mouth, then smiled at the second female lead not far behind the female lead, “What a coincidence, Miss Jiang, you’re here too.”
“It’s not a coincidence, didn’t we agree to have dinner together?” She gave the cannon fodder a meaningful look, “Since everyone’s here, let’s go together.”
“No, no, you guys go, I won’t—”
“Okay, let’s eat together.” It was the female lead’s voice.
The cannon fodder looked over, the female lead’s gaze was firm and angry, she was stunned, her hand was grabbed by the female lead, not held, grabbed, the female lead was afraid she would run away, then faced the second female lead, “The three of us together.”
Thinking about it, she was doomed. Not only was she caught by her wife having dinner with someone else, but the person who asked her out was the one who kept saying she liked her.
Just as she was planning how to explain and coax the female lead, the cannon fodder was led into the restaurant next door.
They came to a table, which had half-finished food on it, and her wife’s bag was on the chair next to it.
She looked at the second female lead, she understood what the second female lead meant on the phone.
“Miss Wang, thank you for today,” the second female lead pretended to pull out a chair for her, the one next to where the bag was placed, “What do you like to eat? I’ll order a few more dishes.”
As expected, she was still the same clown as in the book.
The cannon fodder gave a dry laugh, “It’s okay, I like leftovers.”
They all sat down. The female lead next to her didn’t speak, and the second female lead didn’t intend to explain, saying, “Okay, if you like it.” She turned to the waiter and asked for another set of cutlery.
Throughout the meal, the cannon fodder kept her head down, not looking at the female lead beside her.
She felt like she might be a little angry, so she tried very hard to convince herself.
They’re the protagonists, they’re the protagonists.
The cannon fodder should serve them.
So what if she was tricked? As long as she didn’t go bankrupt, she’d even lick the second female lead’s boots.
But the more she thought this, the more she felt her nose tingle.
Why did her nose tingle? It was so strange. This was clearly something she wanted, the female lead and the second female lead’s romance was finally progressing, it wasn’t easy.
When she got home, the cannon fodder quickly went into the bathroom for a shower, only coming out after she had calmed down.
She went straight into the quilt without saying a word, pulling it tightly over her head.
“It’s still early, are you going to sleep already?”
The female lead’s soft voice came from outside the quilt.
“What do you want…” she peeked out an eye.
“How do you feel about what I told you tonight?”
“Not good! Not good at all!” Then she continued to hide under the quilt, cursing the female lead in her heart: You went to dinner with the second female lead just now, and now you want to sleep with me? No way!
She couldn’t sleep, it was almost dawn, and the female lead wasn’t asleep either.
“About tonight… I’m sorry…” In the silence, the female lead suddenly said, “I have nothing with Jiang Jinqiu, she just took it upon herself…”
“It’s okay, we’re strategic partners, you don’t need to report these things to me.”
“…”
“Actually, I think Jiang Jinqiu is quite nice, good-looking, and well-off.”
The female lead didn’t answer a word, but silently turned her back to her.
