272 - I Don’t Want to Be Turned Into the Female Protagonist by the System

# Chapter 272: Expanding the Amusement Park Team Su Qi had already forgotten how she got off the table after eating her fill. All she remembered was her two mothers-in-law frantically introducing her to their daughters' older brothers. Finally, Su Qi understood why they looked at her with such kindness. To them, she was a daughter-in-law—but that was wrong, everything was wrong! She was, in fact, their daughters' boyfriend. Su Qi mentally ranted, but dared not voice it in front of Ying Lan and Qu Xin, as the news was too shocking. Fortunately, Wang Yun used the pretext of a lecture to snatch Su Qi away from her mothers-in-law. Only then did Su Qi recall the main reason for the visit today: attending the lecture. Meanwhile, An Ning intended to supervise, but was caught by her own mother. "Xiao Ning, just now Xiao Qi mentioned returning to Zhe City the day after tomorrow. She said she's listening to Xiao Yun's lecture tonight. If you can arrange for her to visit us, I can have your brother An Dong come home." If it weren't for that last sentence, An Ning would indeed be eager to bring Su Qi over, as she longed for a chance to be alone with her once more. It would be a perfect opportunity for a one-on-one, to truly see who would come out on top. The sting of that previous defeat still lingered bitterly within her. However, the thought of her mother trying to play matchmaker for both her brother and her husband felt like a noose tightening around An Ning's neck, sheer torment. Still, An Ning nodded at her mother's suggestion. After all, Wang Zijin's family also had Wang Zicheng to consider. Instinctively, An Ning suspected that her sisterly confidant Wang Yun harbored a bit of interest in her husband as well. In this tangled web of relationships, her brother seemed to be the only safe bet within her family. Led by the hand, Su Qi was swiftly taken into a room by Wang Yun. Behind them, Wang Zijin watched the two's hands clasped together, resolving to later educate her husband on the propriety expected between women. With the door opening, Su Qi finally entered Wang Yun's room. Its interior, similar to room 1507 of Green City Apartments, had a minimalist yet tastefully elegant decor. If there was a standout feature compared to the Green City Apartments, it was the large teddy bear sitting at the head of the bed. Su Qi had seen Gu Panpan clutch her own little teddy every night back in the girls' dormitory. But that teddy was dwarfed, much like a father-son contrast, when compared to this enormous bear! From the moment they entered, Wang Yun noticed the little girl's gaze fixed on her bed's large bear. After some thought, she offered the sizable bear to Su Qi. "Hug it—it's super comfy!" Su Qi blushed faintly. She'd merely found its size novel, warranting a few curious glances, certainly not an impulse to hug it. Yet, not catching it would let it fall and stain the plush surface. So she took it, and its softness was indeed pleasant. Due to its size, the bear's appearance was rather endearing. Watching her husband peeking from the bear's side to breathe, Wang Zijin found the sight utterly adorable, almost endearing enough to embrace Su Qi herself. However, there was a more pressing matter to address. "Sis, why did you bring Su Qi to our place?" Wang Zijin voiced her long-standing curiosity. Facing this query, Wang Yun wasn’t surprised; bringing Su Qi home was part of her plan. There was a good reason for Wang Yun's actions. Knowing her sister's possessive streak regarding the little girl, there was no way Su Qi would return to Green City once during the school term. Thus, even if she brought the little girl to Green City, her sister would likely whisk her away by nightfall--similarly with the new apartment she purchased. But bringing the little one home was different, with their mother present. More critically, Wang Yun could use the guise of a lecture to have the little girl stay overnight. Of course, Wang Yun anticipated her sister would oversee matters. Still, her sister's good skin made it mutually beneficial. As a societal veteran, Wang Yun would obviously not voice her inner thoughts. Instead, she deflected the topic to Su Qi, saying: "This is best explained by Xiao Qi!" Su Qi, flustered, recounted to Wang Zijin how she ended up in Wang Yun's car. Observant as ever, Wang Zijin quickly sensed something amiss. On arrival, she'd noticed the keepsake box—which Su Qi had left at the rental—among her husband's belongings while Wang Yun fetched clothes for her. This indicated Su Qi had been home before leaving again. Switching her approach, Wang Zijin asked, "So why not hold the lesson at home?" Right after asking, Wang Yun pulled a small blackboard from the corner. "Because of this! How can a lecture miss this essential?" Wang Zijin felt dissatisfied with the answer, suspecting her sister was hiding something. While Wang Yun may have withheld answers, Wang Zijin knew she could still question Su Qi—after all, she was her husband. Unsurprisingly, Su Qi divulged her plan to attend the amusement park with Wang Yun the following day. Hearing the excitement in Su Qi's voice as she spoke of going to the amusement park with her sister tomorrow, Wang Zijin felt as though a symbolic green light hovered above her head. Such noteworthy plans, yet no prior consultation? But when Su Qi expressed concern about invading her and An Ning's privacy, Wang Zijin paused to realize something. Since becoming close with Su Qi, she'd always respected her and An Ning's personal time, opting not to trouble them often, managing matters herself whenever possible. Could this be their oversight as friends toward her? On this introspection, Wang Zijin felt a pang of guilt. Neither she nor An Ning had given Su Qi a meaningful gift, nor had they visited memorable places together. Watching Wang Zijin ponder deeply, Su Qi vaguely guessed the thoughts troubling her spouse and offered, "Zijin, I know you and An Ning are busy recently. Let's plan something together during summer break, okay?" Gazing at her sincerely speaking husband, Wang Zijin found her utterly considerate. Which girl wouldn't appreciate companionship? Yet here was Su Qi, understanding to the point of reasoning like a boy. Just as Wang Zijin prepared to respond, her elder sister interjected with a laugh, "Indeed, the student council president usually remains busy until the end of next week before resolving everything. No worries, sister, I'll take good care of Little Su Qi for you!" Right then, the door, left unlocked, was pushed open by An Ning. Having just slipped from their matchmaker mother's clutches, An Ning was not expecting such explosive news upon entry. How could her meticulous sister Wang Yun lay claim to her husband named Su Qi? Definitely not acceptable. Considering the close ties between Wang Yun's sister-in-law and her husband, An Ning naturally harbored a degree of wariness toward her. Left alone together, her naive husband might end up exploited. This was certainly intolerable! After hearing her sister-in-law announce plans to hit the amusement park with her husband, the next day’s outing increased from two participants to four.
