The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Chapter 249: Chapter 247: Slapping the Apocalypse Rebirth Girl 28

”What’s going on now?”

Xiao Yuan didn’t expect that the Yu Family would stir up several incidents within just a few days of their arrival.

Anning is currently receiving intelligence from An Xin.

Hearing this, she laughed: ”Just lustful, huh. The third son-in-law of the Yu Family is just a thug, he always likes peeping at Miss and young wives taking baths when he’s got nothing better to do. The youngest daughter of the Hao Family is so pretty, he couldn’t resist the urge to get handsy.”

On the phone, Xie Yi also heard Anning’s voice.

He immediately sprang up: ”Damn, are you with your girlfriend?”

Xiao Yuan hummed in affirmation.

Xie Yi became a little flustered: ”Then, the stuff I told you about Su Leqing, your girlfriend won’t misunderstand, right? If she ends up punishing you to kneel on the keyboard, don’t come settling scores with me.”

Anning was amused by Xie Yi’s peculiar train of thought: ”No problem, I’m not angry.”

Xie Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then greeted Anning: ”Hey sister-in-law, when are you free to hang out? We should all get to know each other.”

Anning thought about her schedule for the next few days: ”I’m busy these few days, how about next week? I’ll find some time next week.”

Xiao Yuan, however, hung up the phone directly.

Anning looked at him with a puzzled glance.

Xiao Yuan pulled a long face: ”Don’t bother with him, Xie is just idle. There’s no need to sit and meet them.”

Anning’s eyes widened in protest as she looked at Xiao Yuan: ”Do you mean that I don’t need to meet your friends? Am I... not qualified to know them? You said you were sincere with me, but I think you just want to have your fun without taking responsibility.”

Only heaven knew that Xiao Yuan was just a bit jealous a moment ago.

And a little worried.

After all, Xie Yi and his gang could get really wild, and moreover, Xie Yi’s favorite type was the intellectual beauty - Anning was exactly his type, and Xiao Yuan was worried Xie Yi might try to steal her from him.

Moreover, he was also worried that Xie Yi might charm Anning away.

After all, Xie Yi was famously handsome in their circle.

But Anning obviously misunderstood his intention.

Xiao Yuan was immediately somewhat at a loss.

He pulled the car over to the side of the road, turned to look at Anning, and under the car’s interior light, he saw Anning’s face full of grievance; his heart ached terribly.

”That’s not what I meant, I...”

He found it difficult to express himself; those petty thoughts were really not something he could confess to Anning.

”Then what do you mean?”

Anning was being a bit unreasonable now.

”They always fool around, and I was afraid they’d scare you.”

Xiao Yuan said with dejection.

Anning sneered: ”I’m not afraid of ghosts, why would I be afraid of them?”

Xiao Yuan didn’t know what else to say.

Anning accused Xiao Yuan with righteous indignation: ”You just don’t want to take me out, stop making other excuses.”

Xiao Yuan was truly wronged, unable to defend himself, he could only keep apologizing: ”Sorry, it’s my fault, don’t be angry, I’m sorry...”

Anning blinked her eyes: ”Alright, I accept your apology, but you have to compensate me.”

”What do you want?”

Xiao Yuan’s mind raced, trying to think of something he possessed that Anning would value.

Anning’s smile was cunning: ”A kiss, a hug, and a lift-up high in the air.”

Uh...

What kind of trick is this?

Xiao Yuan was a bit slow to react.

He took a deep breath and powerfully pulled Anning into his embrace.

Anning snuggled into Xiao Yuan’s arms and snickered secretly.

It really wasn’t easy at all.

In this life, Xiao Yuan handled other matters with swift decisiveness, but he was exceptionally gentle with her, maintaining a respectful distance from the very start of their relationship. He was always courteous and never overstepped, which Anning found a bit unfamiliar.

Today, she finally broke through Xiao Yuan’s gentle facade, and there has been some further development, which made Anning quite happy.

In fact, Xiao Yuan didn’t lack the desire to get closer to Anning.

He was just a bit afraid.

Whenever he faced Anning, he couldn’t help but feel timid, always fearing that he might offend her or make her unhappy, so he dare not make any intimate moves.

God knows how much he wanted to be closer to Anning, to do all those kissing and hugging that other couples do, but he just didn’t have the courage.

Xiao Yuan drove Anning home, and then drove back to his own place.

Once home, Xiao Yuan’s mood was especially good, and his steps were lighter than usual.

Being flirted with by Anning, Xiao Yuan felt as if his energy was boundless, everything appeared sublime.

Even Su Leqing, whom he usually couldn’t stand, didn’t seem quite so intolerable.

He was even in the mood for gossiping with Xie Yi.

The first thing he did when he got home was to call Xie Yi.

”How is the Hao Family’s situation?”

Xie Yi responded with laughter: ”Xiao Yuan, why are you gossiping today?”

Xiao Yuan immediately put on a cold face: ”Cut the crap and just tell me.”

Xie Yi amiably said: ”Alright, your girlfriend got it right, it’s just that Yu Family’s son-in-law fancied the Hao Family’s Miss for her beauty and harbored some wicked thoughts, but hit an iron plate instead. You know how the Hao Family’s youngest daughter is—she looks gentle and weak but has the most domineering temper, and she’s also trained in martial arts. She not only beat up Yu Family’s son-in-law but also called the police and had him arrested.”

He couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought: ”Su Leqing is really looking for trouble, isn’t she? Even if she broke off the engagement with you and was heartbroken, she didn’t need to... look at the kind of person she found.”

Xiao Yuan seriously commented: ”She has a special taste, she likes that type.”

”Really?”

Xie Yi slapped his forehead as if suddenly realizing: ”How could I not have thought of that, indeed, after all these years, there has been no rumor of her fancying any gentleman, turns out her taste is so special.”

Xiao Yuan suppressed a laugh and said nonchalantly: ”Would I lie to you, she has been like this since she was young.”

”Ah, then I really must spread the word well.”

Xie Yi cackled slyly: ”But man, who is your girlfriend exactly? You’ve kept her hidden so well, we should meet her one day.”

”She’s busy.”

Xiao Yuan certainly wasn’t going to bring Anning to meet that bunch.

”Busy? Busy with beauty treatments or shopping?”

Xie Yi thought of the daily lives of those young ladies in their circle and couldn’t help but quip.

”Busy with experiments.”

Xiao Yuan, in an especially blissful mood, felt a bit like showing off: ”The new wonder drug that just hit the market was developed by her. She’s currently researching another medication and has no time to meet you profligate sons.”

Xie Yi clutched his chest, feigning distress: ”That’s enough, stabbing your brother in the back... Wait, who did you say? The one who developed the wonder drug? Tang Anning? Damn, buddy, you’ve done well for yourself there, nabbing Tang Anning. No way, you’ve got to treat us, or we won’t let this go.”

After showing off his girlfriend, Xiao Yuan, in high spirits, hung up the phone and went to take a shower, preparing to sleep in a relaxed and joyful mood.

Xie Yi, hung up on again, was fuming and paced around his house.

Outside the Public Security Bureau

Su Leqing hurried over.

Her complexion was particularly poor; she had just been reprimanded over a dog affair by Lin Yinghou and offended the Fang Family, and now she had been inexplicably summoned to the Public Security Bureau.

”What happened?”

Seeing Yu Ping, she couldn’t help wanting to interrogate him, but remembering Yu Ping’s future superpower, she restrained her anger and asked softly.

Yu Ping’s complexion was ugly, and upon seeing Su Leqing, he couldn’t help but moan: ”That damn Hao Family, it’s just ridiculous—they had my brother-in-law beaten up and then called the police to arrest him. They think they’re great just because they’re rich and powerful, this is outright bullying.”

On hearing about the Hao surname, Su Leqing’s face turned pale; she didn’t need to guess to know it was bad news.

She thought about turning around and leaving, not wanting to deal with the Yu surname anymore, but she couldn’t bear to leave Yu Ping.
