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

Chapter 427: Hahaha... Inside the 14th-floor restroom of the Tianyu Building Su Qi, who had just exuded an aura of dominance, now found herself awkwardly using the bathroom, ears pricked up, tensely listening to the chatter of her three wives outside the door. “An Ning, Zijin, you two have to look after your little sister from now on, okay? No bullying me—” Wang Yun cheerfully balanced on one foot, joking with her dark-faced sister and her friend's serious countenance. It was as if she was merely jesting, with a playful smile showing no trace of the previous confrontation's tension. She didn't at all resemble someone about to quit her job, but rather someone who had just won the lottery. By the way, Yang Zongfan had just been taken away by detectives Lin Hao and Zhang Ru. “Oh no, I'm going to fall!” Seeing her sister and friend maintaining their stern expressions, ignoring her, Wang Yun feigned imbalance, attempting to topple in her sister’s direction melodramatically. Wang Zijin saw through her sister’s little act but couldn’t let her fall. She caught her sister, allowing Wang Yun to embrace her fully, planting a kiss on her cheek and saying, “You're the best, sister. Oh, wait, I mean sister-in-law now, aren't you? After all, in terms of hierarchy, you're the first wife, right?” Wang Zijin wiped her sister’s scented kiss away furiously, feeling a jumble of emotions. Previously, she had even had Xiao Xiao act as a spy on their meetings, wary of the relationship between her husband and her sister since they became landlord and tenant at Green Town. The tape recording was unexpected yet somehow made complete sense. Remembering how her sister had hurt her foot protecting her husband, Wang Zijin was unsure how to handle the situation. Most frustratingly, Wang Yun was persistently clingy—calling her "sister" repeatedly like an unshakable adhesive. Although these tactics irritated Wang Zijin, they also echoed a sense of helpless nostalgia, reminiscent of their childhood. Seeing her sister's face soften, Wang Yun knew her sister’s anger had likely subsided significantly. She then turned her attention towards An Ning, Wang Zijin's friend. “An Ning, my dear sister?” Wang Yun hopped over on her good leg to An Ning's side. An Ning, startled, shivered naturally. Given the neighborly familiarity, An Ning often fell prey to this elder sister’s tricks. Every sweet voice of fake innocence tended to signal a trap, often involving her, her brother An Dong, or her best friend's brother Wang Zicheng. Today, having noted the recording, An Ning was cautious of the plotted trap, especially after hearing Wang Yun call her husband “husband” on the recording. Seeing Wang Yun hop on one leg towards her, An Ning discreetly took a step back, indicating her annoyance with a firm posture of disapproval. Unsurprisingly, Wang Yun continued unperturbed, calling out to Su Qi in the restroom: “Husband, your first wife is bullying your second wife; are you going to do something about it?” Upon hearing Wang Yun’s words, Su Qi, who was about to leave the restroom, felt her knees weaken a bit. She wasn’t sure how to proceed; it was as if every response was the wrong choice, and fear crept in. But she couldn't hide in there forever, especially since she'd been in the restroom for over twenty minutes—her longest duration since her transformation. Bracing herself, Su Qi finally emerged from the safety of the restroom. Today was the first day of her special period and she had just been through a rigorous situation. Truthfully, her entire body felt devoid of strength. Even after using the restroom, feelings of exhaustion lingered over every step like treading on clouds. An Ning initially intended to harshly question her husband about the details once she came out. Yet seeing her emerge looking physically drained—with a pale face, devoid of color—it invoked a protective instinct within An Ning, and she wrapped an arm around her husband's arm to prevent her from toppling. Su Qi felt even more guilt, unsure of how to explain her relationship with Wang Yun. Although explaining things to Zijin seemed simpler given her positive family dynamics and the mutual fondness within the group, An Ning posed a greater challenge. The thought process became clearer suddenly: with her relationship with Wang Yun exposed, Su Qi wouldn’t need to keep the planned surprise secret from Zijin anymore. It’d grant an opportunity to persuade Zijin to accept and cooperatively approach An Ning for support. Feeling clever, Su Qi felt emboldened by her insight. After all, leaving the job was already decided; Yang had confirmed Wang Yun's resignation openly. Su Qi, the assistant, could easily forfeit her salary if needed. As the four descended in the elevator to the B3 parking lot, Wang Yun couldn’t drive due to her injured foot, so despite any irritation the others felt toward her past actions, they ensured she returned safely. The car of choice today was An Ning’s Mercedes-Benz G-Class, and all four comfortably settled in. Su Qi occupied the backseat with Zijin, intent on discussing the surprise and plotting with her to accept Wang Yun. Lost in thought, Su Qi managed to divert her attention from her cramps, her mind racing at what was to come. Observing her pitiable husband clutching her stomach, Wang Zijin’s anger melted away a little. After all, it was her husband. With a gentle effort, she pulled Su Qi closer, soothingly rubbing her little belly. Su Qi felt enveloped by Zijin’s sisterly bond—the two women clearly had each other’s backs. How could her wife still be angry if she tended to her so kindly? With a gentle movement, Su Qi leaned closer to Wang Zijin. Ensuring adequate proximity, she whispered her grand plan and surprises into her wife’s ear. Being a social ace, Wang Zijin picked up on some discrepancies in the narrative. Though she didn't interrupt Su Qi, she silently recognized the trick Wang Yun had played. Despite realizing, she let Su Qi continue, finding in this transparency a collaborative alignment. Slowly, Wang Zijin’s complexion darkened, as understanding dawned. Especially upon hearing Su Qi’s grand ‘surprise’ meant for her, her expression shifted dramatically. When Su Qi finally finished explaining, she looked up at Zijin, puzzled by her wife's demeanor. Why was she squinting? Sitting in the passenger seat, Wang Yun witnessed her sister’s changing expression and could easily guess what her oblivious little husband had just conveyed. Despite the discomfort in her right foot, the whole scene was simply too amusing not to chuckle at.
