She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!-Chapter 291 - 290: Her Husband Married Her Waiting for Another to Arrive (Part 2)
The commissioner has three wishes:
If possible, and if mom is willing, take her away from the Lu Family to start a new life. Everything depends on mom’s wishes. If she’s unwilling, then so be it.
Protect her body from being possessed. She has no objection to that bird. The other party doesn’t possess her intentionally, so it can go wherever it wants, as long as it doesn’t control her body.
Divorce Yu Xiaoran! Don’t have any ties with him anymore.
Chen Zhu noticed that Ah Chen wasn’t leaving and didn’t want to directly ask her to go.
Though he knew President Yu had no feelings for this lady, she was still, nominally, Mrs. Yu.
He stood by, waiting, occasionally casting a glance at her.
He couldn’t deny that Mrs. Yu was beautiful. Not conversing with her too much was still quite pleasant. It didn’t take long to realize she was superficial.
"Why does Assistant Chen keep looking at me?" Ah Chen noticed Chen Zhu’s gaze, which occasionally showed regret and disdain, making it hard not to pay attention.
She wasn’t exactly a good-tempered person, being looked at like that would make anyone uncomfortable.
If she felt uncomfortable, she could only find trouble for him.
Chen Zhu didn’t expect his scrutiny to be noticed, and was momentarily stunned, but quickly responded: "I am worried about making you wait too long here, afraid of neglecting you."
"You didn’t even pour me a glass of water, indeed neglectful." Ah Chen said.
Chen Zhu was momentarily taken aback. This lady usually tried to be pleasant with the assistants. Whenever he casually said something, it was enough to brush her off. Adding in President Yu’s indifference towards her, it naturally made him feel a bit disdainful.
However, this disdain wasn’t obvious – it was primarily reflected in minor details, not easily noticeable unless experienced.
Though he might have thought that, Chen Zhu immediately apologized and turned to pour some water, as if genuinely caught up in busyness, avoiding any conflict over such a trivial matter.
Reaching his position wasn’t because of stupidity. Even if President Yu was indifferent towards this lady, if it resulted in trouble reaching President Yu over such a matter, it would only lead to criticism and leave a bad impression.
He didn’t want such minor issues to impact his future.
He was just an employee. Since the lady seemed tough today, he chose to be more careful, avoid confrontation, and focus on his duties.
Ah Chen accepted the water, noticing his change in stance, and decided not to trouble him further.
This was ultimately influenced by Yu Xiaoran’s stance, as his attitude determined how those around him treated the commissioner.
Yet, Chen Zhu frowned, deep in thought, feeling cold sweat on his back, somewhat alarmed.
Just moments ago, the same person could bring him such fear-induced sweat. He couldn’t help but be more cautious. No matter how disdainful he felt, people raised in a wealthy family were different.
It was unclear how much time had passed when Yu Xiaoran finally returned from the meeting room.
He barely noticed Ah Chen sitting and waiting beside him, and was about to open his office door when Chen Zhu reminded him: "President Yu, the lady is here."
Yu Xiaoran halted his steps and turned back, finally spotting her sitting there, somewhat surprised, as based on his impression, she should have approached him upon seeing him.
Something crossed his mind, causing a slight excitement. Could it be...
It wasn’t supposed to be time yet, though.
Yet, it might be possible ahead of time. After all, a lot had changed. This time, if she appeared, he wouldn’t harm her again and would ensure she stayed.
He quickly approached Ah Chen, maintaining a calm facade with excitement hidden in his eyes, and asked, "Why are you here? How long have you been waiting?"
Ah Chen stood up with the thermos, checked the time on her phone, then replied, "Two hours and three minutes."
It really had been a long time.
Chen Zhu covered his mouth, noting today’s lady seemed different, as if she wasn’t happy.
Ah Chen felt Yu Xiaoran’s scrutinizing look, seemingly searching for something. She looked into his eyes and smiled lightly, "I made soup for you. It’s still hot in the thermos. Do you have time now?"
"Give it to me, I’ll have it after I’m done." Inside, Yu Xiaoran felt disappointed; she wasn’t here.
He stretched his hand, waiting for Ah Chen to pass the thermos, recalling his previous demeanor, his expression softened: "Thank you for your trouble. I’ll have someone take you back. It’s still early, you can go shopping, buy something you like."
She liked money. Whenever he was bothered and didn’t want to see her, this trick worked wonders.
However, she always maintained some restraint. Since they married, even though she liked buying things, she hadn’t been excessive. It was as though she genuinely wanted to be a virtuous and managing wife. But, alas, she was not her.
He would only wait for her.
As for Bai Chen, he gave her this identity. She could use the card as she wished. Having experienced this, she ought to be content.
Bai Ying was better. Once she arrived, everyone around would like her.
As long as he didn’t harm Bai Ying this time, even if Bai Ying left Bai Chen’s body, she would certainly come looking for him again. By then, he’d divorce Bai Chen. Their marriage was due to elders, and he never had feelings for her.
"Alright, I spent a long time on the soup, Xiao Ran, remember to drink it. I won’t disturb your work anymore." Ah Chen smiled as she handed the thermos to Yu Xiaoran. "I’ll head out first then."
Yu Xiaoran sighed in relief, knowing that trick worked on her.
He held the thermos, watching her leave.
Once she disappeared from view, he casually handed the thermos to Chen Zhu next to him: "Dispose of this." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
He’d never drunk soup she made, there was no need, fearing explanations would be needed with Bai Ying.
"Understood, President Yu." Chen Zhu revealed an ’as expected’ expression, watching Yu Xiaoran’s retreat into the office, carrying the thermos back to his spot and opening it. A rich aroma wafted out, whetting his appetite.
The lady did have one advantage: her soups were getting tastier, even better than those in high-end restaurants.
Chen Zhu took a spoonful, savoring it.
President Yu didn’t know what delicacy he missed out on, perhaps he simply didn’t appreciate it.
He really enjoyed it.
The lady occasionally brought porridge as well, about two or three times a week, all ending up in his stomach.
"Is it good?" A voice suddenly sounded by his ear.
Chen Zhu instinctively nodded: "It’s good."
"Hmm, then savor it, for you probably won’t taste it again."
Every person’s soup tastes differently, no matter how closely copied, there’d be subtle differences, truly not replicable, Ah Chen thought to herself.
Fully aware now, Chen Zhu looked up sharply to see Ah Chen standing by, smiling gently, startlingly causing him to shiver and stand up.
How could the lady walk so quietly?
She was still smiling, not seemingly upset, yet to Chen Zhu, it was terrifying.
