Chapter 262: The First Grand Secretary (24)
"What book?" Wen Wan pretended to be unaware. After all, she wasn't stupid. This other person didn't seem like a good person either; who knew what kind of madness they might cause? "You don't know what book? You haven't read that book?"
“I haven’t seen it. I transmigrated after my car accident. Why did you transmigrate?” Wen Wan looked at Qin Yuege earnestly. Qin Yuege shook her head. “I didn’t say anything. Since you and I are from the same place, we should help each other in this strange world.”
Qin Yuege stood up. "Let me be frank, Gu Sui is one of my people."
"Why? Why are you so sure? Do you know something, or do you have some kind of cheat code?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Just stay away from Gu Sui."
"Why should I listen to you if you don't tell me? You like Gu Sui? Unfortunately, I like Gu Sui too, and Gu Sui seems to like me even more. Besides, we're getting married soon. You have no chance. You should give up."
"Impossible, he's mine, we're destined to be together."
"He belongs to him. What makes you think you can have him? I'm prettier than you, I have a better background than you, I was able to get close to him, we've spent many intimate days together, and we've been engaged since childhood. What do you think you have? You're just a servant now, you're very ordinary-looking, and you don't have any class. You probably weren't a rich heiress before you transmigrated, right? So why do you think I should give him to you?"
Qin Yuege became an instant sensation after being lectured by Wen Wan.
"You are a bit like that, but you are the original Shen Jiao. Maybe you would just be an ordinary woman in modern times."
"Whether I was ordinary or not in my past life doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm an absolute beauty now. Look at my face." Wen Wan deliberately moved closer to Qin Yuege, looking particularly fierce at Qin Yuege's twisted and jealous eyes.
"Who told you to be so unlucky? You became my servant, so you should just accept being a servant and stop dreaming about climbing the social ladder and becoming a phoenix."
Qin Yuege's expression was distorted. We're all from the same time, why are you humiliating me like this?
Qin Yuege sneered, unable to control her anger, and said, "I know your ending. You won't be able to marry Gu Sui in the end. The Shen family will go bankrupt, and you will marry a rich old man and spend the rest of your life in misery."
"Me, believe you? I'm about to marry Gu Sui right now. All your fantasies are impossible. You're not saying you have prophecy, are you? Then why couldn't you predict that I would transmigrate here? You just mentioned books, are you trying to say that this world is a world from a book? You're really delusional. Have you gone mad?"
"I won't believe you unless you tell me something that will happen later."
Qin Yuege: "..."
Qin Yuege had no idea that she was stepping into Wen Wan's trap. All she wanted to do was let this person know that she knew the plot and that these things were bound to happen, and that she would definitely become Gu Sui's wife.
Qin Yuege frantically searched for any plot details she knew, and finally remembered something.
"A week later, a notorious womanizer will appear in the neighboring county. He has taken advantage of several young ladies from wealthy families and will eventually be apprehended."
Wen Wan: "Really? You can really predict the future? Is this really a world within a book?"
"When it happens, you'll come begging to me." Qin Yuege turned and left, and Wen Wan didn't stop her.
Instead, she discussed it with the system, saying, "So not only did she transmigrate here, but she also knows the plot of this world and knows that this is a world from a book. System! Isn't this a bug in your transmigration game?"
System: [I will report this to the Transmigration Bureau.]
"This isn't something that can be done by simply reporting it. The difficulty of my task has suddenly skyrocketed. Shouldn't I get some kind of cheat code as compensation?"
System: [Don't push your luck.]
"How am I pushing my luck? I'm not dealing with a heroine from a book, but a heroine who knows the whole plot. I could be easily killed, you know that? If you don't give me compensation, I'm not doing this mission."
system:【……】
In the end, I compromised. "I'll apply to the book-transfer bureau; they definitely won't let you suffer any losses."
"The system is the best."
system:【……】
"She's not the female lead, and she doesn't look good. As Gu Sui's friend, I can't allow Qin Yuege to bully him because of the plot, right?"
System: "What do you want to do?"
[Does your bookstore prohibit free love?]
system:【……】
It couldn't answer that question. Of course, there was no such rule in the transmigration bureau, because no one would break the plot setting to fall in love with the male lead, and not just once or twice, but every single time. The system was even more confused.
The important thing is that the purpose of the Transmigration Bureau is to satisfy readers; all other rules are fluid.
"Let's deal with Qin Yuege first? If she doesn't achieve her goal, she might turn on you."
Wen Wan: "Let's wait and see. She dares to mess with me, but I'm not one to be trifled with. I'll send her packing. Besides, I have a clear advantage over her right now."
System: [Okay, just be careful.]
Not long after Qin Yuege left, Wen Wan also secretly wanted to leave. She only dared to come that day because Gu Sui was not around.
Before he could take two steps, he was face to face with Gu Sui.
Wen Yan: "..."
Gu Sui: "Are you avoiding me? Are you bothered by what I said a few days ago? If I offended you too much, I apologize to Miss Shen here."
Now that they're calling her Miss Chen, Wen Wan suddenly felt a pang of discomfort. She shook her head and said, "I don't mind. I just feel a bit surprised. It's too sudden. I didn't have time to process it."
"I see. So what's the result? You still don't like me? This is the last time. If you reject me, we'll just be friends. I'll step back to the proper boundaries, and I'll also break off our engagement as agreed. I'll move out of Mobai Courtyard in a few days."
"No way—" Wen Wan felt a sudden anxiety when she heard Gu Sui say he was moving out. "How can you move out? I didn't say I was rejecting you! I just need some time to process things. Do you really like me that much? What is there to like about me?"
Gu Sui smiled. "Don't you know how good you are? You're like a ray of light. I like you because you deserve it."
Wen Wan's face flushed red instantly. "Then let's give it a try."
"What?"
Wen Wan spoke so softly that Gu Sui barely heard her.
Wen Wan looked at Gu Sui and said, "I said, we can give it a try. If it doesn't work out in the end, we can still be friends."
Gu Sui's expression changed drastically as a surge of joy washed over him, making his heart pound.
"You mean you've agreed and won't break off the engagement?"
Wen Wan nodded. "It's fine if we don't break off the engagement, and we can date. If you regret it later, then you can break off the engagement with me."
"Won't."
The next second, Wen Wan was pulled into Gu Sui's arms. Wen Wan smelled the faint yet fragrant scent of ink bamboo on Gu Sui, and she could also hear the sound of Gu Sui's heart beating so passionately, indicating his happiness.
So Gu Shisui must really like himself.
