Chapter 31: Following Her

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Yue and Lin Sheng also left after Xi Wan left. Even if they were humiliated today, they wouldn’t dare to not spend their money here in the future. What if Xi Wan was angry that they weren’t spending and actually got Su Xun to interfere with their families’ businesses? If it ever got to that point, one or two pieces of clothing wouldn’t matter much.

It was only after everyone had left that Xiao Chen felt that everything was like a dream.

“Oh my god, Xi Wan is actually Su Xun’s wife!” She was shocked, but didn’t dare post this tidbit on the internet. Since Xi Wan had never taken the initiative to disclose it, she must have wanted to keep it a secret. Xiao Chen could only silently keep this secret.

On the other hand, Li Yue and Lin Sheng had mixed feelings when they got home. They looked up Xi Wan’s information on the internet and saw the statement released by the Su Corporation. Upon reading it, they were filled with regret.

Just as Xi Wan and Zhang Wen were about to get into the car, they saw Ling Feng appear in the parking lot. He looked hurt. “Wanwan, are you still angry with me?”

Zhang Wen’s heart trembled as he witnessed this.

Not good, a man was trying to seduce the boss’s wife. Should he call him immediately?

Although he was shocked, Zhang Wen still maintained a calm composure.

Xi Wan frowned. “Why did you come here? To wait for me? Or were you following me?”

Ling Feng didn’t expect Xi Wan to guess what he’d been doing in just one sentence, so he was a little flustered. If he remembered correctly, Xi Wan wasn’t this smart before.

The system added, [Congratulations, you’re right! He’s following you. Not only him, but the female lead, Zhao Fei, has also sent someone to tail you, and so has Su Xun. Oh, but Su Xun doesn’t need to send someone, does he? Since the driver also works for him]

Xi Wan was very surprised at this knowledge. “Why am I being watched? I’m just going shopping. I didn’t do anything big.”

The system replied seriously, [It might be because your previous actions were very abnormal. Think about it: one character has the system, one has a script, and one has been reborn. They all knew the past you very well. You were originally an NPC in their hearts, so now that you have your own consciousness, wouldn’t they naturally be suspicious? ]

“You’re right, ” Xi Wan complimented. “You’re so smart.”

[…]

The system didn’t feel like she was complimenting it at all. What was going on?

In the meantime, Ling Feng had already thought of an answer. “No, my family has a shop in this shopping mall. I heard that you were wronged, so I rushed over immediately. Are you okay now?”

Xi Wan nodded. “I’m fine. That shop is now mine. I’m in a very good mood now.”

Ling Feng paused, speechless, before quickly recovering. “Since you’re here to shop, why don’t we buy more things? I’ll bring you around. There are many mysterious shops here which all have good things.”

Xi Wan’s eyes widened instantly. “Really? Does that mean they have guns for sale?”

Ling Feng’s mouth twitched. “It’s illegal to sell guns.”

Xi Wan let out a disappointed “Oh.” She had thought that it would be like the shops on TV, in which there would be shops that specialized in selling all kinds of weapons.

Ling Feng was afraid that she would say something else, so he took the initiative to ask, “I heard that you’ve moved to a new house. Do you need anything to decorate it with? You used to like paintings a lot, so do you want to buy some?”

Xi Wan blinked. Ling Feng’s words reminded her of something.

“Since you’re so insistent on being my guide, then help me find out if there are any game and computer stores nearby. I want a computer with the highest specifications, one that can play all kinds of games. I also want to buy a game console.”

Seeing Xi Wan talking non-stop, Ling Feng’s brows furrowed slightly. He already knew that the world he lived in was not real. When he first found out about all this, he’d felt very sad that everything he had seemed fake, but fortunately, he was the male lead in the book.

However, he had mixed feelings about Xi Wan. She loved him; this was written clearly in the book, but she’d used the wrong methods to get his love. In order to stop him from being with Zhao Fei, she used many underhanded methods. She slowly became unfamiliar with him, and he gradually started to hate her.

However, he had not experienced those things yet. He only knew the general progress and could not understand that feeling.

That was why he had initially hoped that he could change Xi Wan so that she would not make such a mistake and destroy her career and future.

However, after he awakened, things had developed in a very wrong way.

There was no love in her eyes when she looked at him. Instead, she seemed very close to Su Xun. From what he knew, she had betrayed Su Xun for him in the end.

Now Ling Feng suspected that Xi Wan also knew that this was a book and hated him for being together with Zhao Fei in the end, which was why she deliberately did these things to take revenge on him.
