Chapter 18
Chapter 18: WC, That’s My Mother!
The moon today was entirely different from the clouds that day.
During today’s singing competition, both Su Ruoxue and Ye Xiao were in great form.
Su Ruoxue, being a married woman, had a certain charm that Shen Yunchu lacked, an indescribable allure.
Moreover, Su Ruoxue’s singing skills were far more captivating than Shen Yunchu’s.
Of course, Shen Yunchu was still new and needed much more practice. There was a fundamental difference between her and someone like Su Ruoxue, a mature, older sister type.
After all, who wouldn’t like a woman who’s cold to others but gentle, soft, and warm like jade towards you?
Glancing at Ye Xiao beside her, Su Ruoxue suddenly felt a little shy.
She even felt like she needed to reflect on her behavior, thinking that perhaps she should be more reserved, even if she wanted revenge on Gu Tingyuan.
To dispel her embarrassment and maintain her aura of an older sister, Su Ruoxue shifted the topic to Ye Xiao, trying to talk away her shame.
“Ye Xiao, why are your hands so small?”
“You smell really nice! What brand of body wash do you use?”
“Your hair… it’s natural? Not dyed?”
“Wow, Ye Xiao, you’re really skilled…”
As she said the last part, Su Ruoxue’s words drifted without thinking.
The moment she finished, she immediately realized her mistake, lightly biting her lip. A faint blush started at her neck and slowly spread downward, her face glowing with the flush of a blooming peach.
Those legs—no, they weren’t just legs—they were like the spring waters flowing along the banks of the Seine.
However, there was no way Ye Xiao, who had been paying close attention to Su Ruoxue’s every move, could have missed what she said.
“Well, well, well~ Just now, wasn’t Sister Ruoxue acting all high and mighty? How come you’ve suddenly backed down? Speaking of which, Sister Ruoxue, you really are quite weak, huh!”
Ye Xiao chuckled mischievously.
Faced with Ye Xiao’s teasing, Su Ruoxue lowered her head even more.
She felt so foolish. She had only thought to ask Ye Xiao about things she didn’t know regarding Gu Tingyuan, completely forgetting that despite Ye Xiao’s non-threatening appearance, there was a strong will inside that small frame.
In this, Su Ruoxue could never win against Ye Xiao.
Seeing Su Ruoxue retreat into herself, Ye Xiao leaned close to her ear and whispered,
“Sister Ruoxue, who do you think is better, me or that useless uncle?”
Ye Xiao’s breath was warm against Su Ruoxue’s ear, sending a slight tremor through her body.
This girl! How could she dare to ask something so embarrassing, such an unmentionable question!
In the end, Su Ruoxue, overwhelmed by shame and feeling helpless, nodded reluctantly as if forced into it,
“Of course, Ye Xiao… you’re better…”
She felt that if she didn’t nod, Ye Xiao wouldn’t let her go so easily.
Even though she had no idea how good Gu Tingyuan was…
“What? No way?”
Ye Xiao suddenly gasped dramatically, covering her mouth like she’d just uncovered some big secret, her lips curving in mockery.
She even entertained the idea of sending a voice message to Gu Tingyuan right now, just to ridicule him.
But it was only a passing thought—she wasn’t yet in a position to provoke Gu Tingyuan.
“Xiao Xiao, if possible, please don’t mention Gu Tingyuan’s name in front of me anymore!”
Finally shaking off her embarrassment, Su Ruoxue spoke seriously.
Seeing her expression, Ye Xiao narrowed her eyes in thought.
[Poor Sister Ruoxue. I hope she really doesn’t care about Gu Tingyuan anymore and isn’t still stuck in a love-struck mindset. In the original timeline, she stayed married to him, even though Gu Tingyuan completely ignored and didn’t care for her. She hoped he’d eventually come back to her, but it led to her family’s downfall. The Su family’s business was destroyed, her father, Mr. Su, jumped off a building, and her mother, unable to bear the grief, followed shortly after.]
Hearing Ye Xiao’s thoughts, Su Ruoxue suddenly sat up in bed.
“What?”
Ye Xiao: ???
Su Ruoxue froze, covering her mouth, realizing she almost said something wrong.
When she married Gu Tingyuan, it was all to save her family, but who would have thought it would all end in disaster
Three years ago, she hadn’t even known Gu Tingyuan, yet he had almost caused the Su family’s bankruptcy just to marry her. And all of this, just because she resembled Ye Youran.
It was all in the past, but she couldn’t help but feel shocked that Gu Tingyuan would be so heartless, so utterly unconcerned with their past. How could he have ruined her family, leaving her utterly alone?
Luckily, none of that had happened yet.
At the same time, Su Ruoxue grew even more curious about Ye Xiao.
How did she know everything?
“Ye Xiao, I’ve decided to divorce Gu Tingyuan. If you’re free in the next couple of days, I’ll call him over. I hope you’ll be there to help me!”
“Hehe, Sister Ruoxue, are you saying you’ve fallen for my charm? Can’t wait to divorce that useless uncle and fall into my arms, huh?”
Su Ruoxue sighed, rubbing her forehead. Ye Xiao’s personality—where did she learn it from? Or was she just born this way?
Just then, Ye Xiao’s phone suddenly rang.
She picked it up, seeing no name, and wondered if it was her lonely Sister Yunchu calling out of boredom as she answered.
“Ye Xiao, you brat! You finally picked up! What were you just doing? Did your skin start itching, ignoring even my calls?”
The voice of a middle-aged woman rang out. Her voice wasn’t unpleasant, even rather clear, but there was a definite hint of danger in her tone.
Just from the voice alone, Ye Xiao could tell the caller was a beautiful middle-aged woman.
Was this some lady that the original owner of her body had somehow hooked up with? Did she have some lingering emotional debts? This could be trouble.
But then, the woman’s voice matched a figure in the original owner’s memory.
She’d thought the original Ye Xiao was straight, but apparently, she’d been quietly courting a gorgeous middle-aged woman on the side. Even Ye Xiao’s former self hadn’t been this bold!
But soon, all her wild thoughts were cut short as she realized…
“WC, that’s my mother!”
Ye Xiao immediately apologized to the original for her overactive imagination—it had been too much.
Night Day
hahahaha!
I wish I was Su Ruoxue.
