Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!

Chapter 619 - 10: Little Sister-in-Law (10)

Bai Xiaojun’s gaze softened a bit, that wistful expression was too affectionate, as if she were reminiscing about her lover.

Li Shuning watched all this, sneering inwardly, feeling increasingly disgusted.

"Brother has always been outstanding. When I was in elementary school, Brother had already skipped a grade to high school. Back then, many girls from the middle school liked him and often asked me to deliver letters. I was naive then, and because they gave me delicious candies and snacks, I really helped them deliver love letters."

"Later, I didn’t want to deliver them anymore, so they came to him themselves. Sister-in-law, you don’t know how many girls I turned down to protect my brother."

"Brother was so sunny and gentle at that time, all the girls liked him." (Including myself) Bai Xiaojun thought silently.

"Later, there was a girl, the school beauty of the middle school. She was very beautiful, pure and cute, yet with a tinge of allure in her smile. Among the middle schoolers, her curvy figure was quite eye-catching."

"That girl liked Brother, she often followed him around. When Brother played basketball, she’d hand him water; when Brother was in the library, she’d silently sit beside him and read together.

Bai Xiaojun’s face suddenly twisted with a ferocity that Li Shuning caught sight of.

"The girl’s family was average, but Brother was still with her. They went to school together, came home together, and even dated after school, making everyone envious."

"It’s just a pity that Brother and that girl didn’t end up together. At that time, I thought she would become my sister-in-law."

The Puppet pretended to be very curious: "Why didn’t they end up together?"

Bai Xiaojun hesitated before continuing, "Because when she dated Brother, they’d always come home late. One day when it was dark, as they were heading home, they encountered some thugs. Seeing how pretty the girl was, they began to grope her. Brother fought them but was no match."

"Brother didn’t bring bodyguards for the date, and the girl was defiled by those people. Afterward, she dropped out and went abroad, and Brother’s temperament changed from that incident, becoming colder."

"Oh, Sister-in-law, don’t tell Brother about what I told you. After all, you and Brother are married now. Back then, he was young and probably just playing around. If you tell him, he’ll blame me."

Bai Xiaojun spoke about playing around, her eyes showing a trace of schadenfreude.

The Puppet feigned deep thought, with a tinge of unease and jealousy in her eyes, not even speaking to Bai Xiaojun, clearly lost in her own world.

Bai Xiaojun went back to her room first.

Bai Siyang returned home after ten at night.

Upon returning, he saw his wife still sitting in the living room watching TV.

"Wife, why are you still up?"

Recently, Bai Siyang has been extremely busy, pulling on his tie with a slight weariness on his face.

The Puppet deliberately asked, "Siyang, I want to ask you something."

Bai Siyang nodded, "Ask away."

He kissed The Puppet’s small mouth and smiled, "I’ve missed you, wife."

"Today, younger sister said you were quite the heartthrob when you were in school, with many girls chasing after you."

"Little rascal, are you jealous?"

"Yes, I am. Younger sister mentioned you once loved a girl and changed your character for her. Did you love her?"

Bai Siyang froze, then sighed.

"Wife, I only love you."

It wasn’t just The Puppet who froze, even Li Shuning paused, amazed at how strong his survival instincts were. That was an impeccable response.

"Wife, back then, we were young and naive. Love at that time was more like an appreciation for beauty. The change in my character wasn’t because of that girl, but more from a self-loathing for not being able to protect her."

"Even though those thugs were dealt with afterward, it was with the help of my family."

The Puppet suddenly stood up, "Siyang, so you actually loved that girl deep down, right? Because she was hurt and left. If she hadn’t left, if she came back, what would you do? Maybe I wouldn’t be the one by your side?"

Bai Siyang rubbed his forehead, a bit helpless, "Wife, don’t make a fuss, I told you, my heart is only with you."

"You’re dismissing me now, huh? I tell you everything about my male friends, and yet, how many things are hidden in your heart? If your sister hadn’t told me, I wouldn’t know you had someone else in your heart."

After saying this, The Puppet ran out of the house.

Hiding upstairs, Bai Xiaojun secretly laughed, knowing that no woman could tolerate another in their man’s heart.

Wasn’t she the same?

Back then, knowing Brother liked that woman, she put in so much effort.

Damn that woman, every word of hers included her, Brother probably wouldn’t care, right?

Bai Xiaojun tiptoed back to her room and called Hu Angran.

The Puppet drove aimlessly for a bit.

Bai Siyang wanted to chase after her, but there was an urgent business matter to handle on his phone, leaving him no choice but to abandon the chase.

Remembering what his wife had said, all the things his sister mentioned to her, anger boiled within him.

She really couldn’t stand seeing them stay together, could she?

Not long after, The Puppet received a call from Hu Angran, and before long, the two met at a restaurant for snacks.

"Shuning, the company has been insanely busy lately. I have been swamped and finally found some time, so I thought of inviting you out for a late-night snack to relax. How about it? The barbecue here is still as good as always, right? Back when we were in the student council, we often came here for late-night snacks after planning activities until late."

The Puppet nodded, "Yes, it’s delicious. Waiter, please bring a few bottles of beer."

The Puppet seemed to drown her sorrows in alcohol, drinking quite a bit.

Hu Angran was secretly delighted, thinking this was perfect. He wouldn’t even need to make a move. Once she got drunk, he could just take her home.

Yet, after several bottles, The Puppet showed no sign of getting drunk, keeping on drinking and eating barbecue, seemingly immune to intoxication.

Hu Angran checked the time; it was already after midnight. Clearly, he needed another plan.

He excused himself to the restroom, but also grabbed several opened bottles of beer from the counter, quietly slipping a pill into one. The pill dissolved instantly in the drink, leaving no trace of tampering.
