The wife insists on being my top (GL) - Chapter 5

Even after returning home, the cannon fodder’s mind was still filled with fireworks.

Although there was a small accident in the middle, it was considered a phased victory.

Very smooth, yes, very smooth.

She was immersed in her own world, humming a song and throwing her bag onto the bed, then took off her coat and went into the bathroom, completely unaware of the unusual expression on the female lead’s face behind her.

Half an hour later, the cannon fodder came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and saw the female lead sitting on the bed. Her fingers were flexibly typing on the keyboard, her face was slightly lowered facing the computer, still the blank expression she had seen at the door.

The cannon fodder was stunned for a moment, belatedly remembering the female lead’s silence along the way.

“Finished showering?” she asked cautiously.

“Yeah, showered in the bathroom next door.”

“……Oh, I see.”

The cannon fodder awkwardly lifted the quilt and got in, thinking that if she wanted to be angry, let her be angry. She would thank herself when she fell in love with the second female lead, and then opened her phone as if nothing had happened.

Only the female lead’s staccato typing sounds remained around her. After a moment, even this sound disappeared. The female lead stopped her movements, secretly glanced at her legs under the quilt, closed the computer, and bent down to rummage through the drawer of the bedside table.

After a while, the female lead held a medicine bottle and cotton swabs and said to her, “Stick your foot out.”

The cannon fodder looked at her in confusion.

“I’ll help you apply the medicine.”

The female lead was referring to the cannon fodder’s heels, which were rubbed raw by her high heels.

Although the cannon fodder usually wore high heels to maintain her persona, they were all low heels, which couldn’t be seen when wearing long pants. After returning to the office, she would change into the bear slippers she secretly brought in. As a boss, she didn’t need to stand for long periods of time, and she had managed to get through the year. But tonight was different. To match her dress, she wore a pair of proper 8cm stiletto heels. She could manage during the day, but at the evening banquet with so many people, she couldn’t find a chance to sit down and rest. Her feet were almost broken after a day.

“Hiss…” The cannon fodder couldn’t help but gasp as the iodine touched the wound. She grabbed her ankles, grimacing at the approaching cotton swab, “Actually, I think a band-aid would be fine…”

“The main function of a band-aid is to protect the wound, and it needs to be disinfected before applying it,” the female lead said softly, “Did you protect the wound while you were showering?”

“That’s really—” Here it comes again… She gritted her teeth and closed her eyes tightly.

The hands holding her ankles curled up, her fingertips turning a little white. The female lead glanced at her, slowing down her movements, “Bear with it, I’ll be gentle.”

Before long, the sharp pain turned into a stinging pain. The cannon fodder breathed a sigh of relief and looked down. Her ankles were blocked by the female lead’s head. From her perspective, she could only see the female lead’s crown, curved eyelashes, and loose hair.

The female lead’s hair had a satin-like sheen, tucked behind her ears and draped over her shoulders, revealing her small, white earlobes.

The cannon fodder was a little dazed. In fact, she had been a little overwhelmed shortly after the banquet started, but to maintain her persona and to follow the plot, she didn’t say a word. She admired herself, but she didn’t expect the female lead to notice, which made her a little touched.

Although maybe this was just part of the character setting.

“When did you notice?” she asked the female lead softly during a quiet moment.

“As soon as the banquet started, I asked you if you wanted to change shoes with me, but you were only looking at Jiang Jinqiu and didn’t hear me.”

“Haha, is that so…”

“……”

The female lead stopped talking and didn’t ask any more questions.

She had always been considerate. The cannon fodder, who had enjoyed her care in all aspects for a year, had the most to say.

The cannon fodder didn’t know what to say at this moment. Thinking that such a gentle and considerate wife would soon return to her official partner’s arms, she was really a little reluctant.

No, she couldn’t get used to being taken care of. The cannon fodder reached out to take the cotton swab from her hand, “I’ll do it myself.”

The female lead didn’t let go, but said softly without raising her head, “Change feet.”

“Oh…”

After disinfecting both feet, the female lead tore open the package of the band-aid, her ring finger sticking to one end, and lifted her heel with the other hand.

Whether it was because her feet were too cold or her palms were too warm, the cannon fodder felt that her temperature was particularly hot at this time.

“Do you have a good impression of her?” she carefully aligned the band-aid.

“Huh?”

The cannon fodder’s mind went blank. The female lead’s tone at this time was like asking a very ordinary question.

“That person, do you have a good impression of her?”

“That person… Oh, you mean Jiang Jinqiu?”

“Yes.”

“A good impression…” Of course she knew what the female lead meant by asking this, but she pretended to be stupid with her poor acting skills. She thought that Jiang Jinqiu was related to her beautiful life in the future, so it was impossible to say that she didn’t have any impression, but it was not appropriate to say that she did, so she asked, “What kind of good impression are you talking about?”

The female lead’s fingers accurately pressed down the two wings of the fabric, “Forget it, I didn’t ask.”

After finishing, the female lead threw away her feet and cleaned up the scraps of paper on the bed.

Seeing her unhappy, the cannon fodder had a flash of inspiration and leaned over to ask her happily, “What about you? Do you have a good impression of her?”

The female lead paused and looked up at her.

This look was really strange, with resentment and grievance, but they were very shallow and would slip out of her eyes if she wasn’t careful, as if nothing had happened, still gentle as water.

The cannon fodder’s heart skipped a beat, secretly saying it was not good.

To prevent the female lead from saying something she shouldn’t, she quickly said, “Of course I have a good impression of her. She is after all our group’s future partner.”

“Is that so?”

“Of course.”

The female lead looked at her, and a few imperceptible sharp glints flashed in her eyes. After a moment, she smiled coldly, “It seems you have a plan for the next step.”

“That’s natural. Xiuchun, just watch, your wife has the means to win her over.”
