Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

Zhong Jiaren stood at the kitchen doorway, arms folded, watching Shen Wan carefully pack the freshly made soup into a thermos. Seeing her smiling face, she seemed to be imagining Fang Anshuo enjoying the delicious soup.

She couldn’t help but let out a snort of laughter, finding it hard to imagine Fang Anshuo drinking a bowl of soup as salty as a salt field while forcing a happy expression and telling Shen Wan it was delicious as she looked at him with gentle expectation. If Fang Anshuo could pull that off, she would certainly applaud him, give him a thumbs up, and say “666, that’s manly, he’s a worthy opponent.”

“Aren’t you going to taste it?” Zhong Jiaren was laughing so hard inside that she blurted this out unconsciously, then quickly shut her mouth.

At the same time, she felt a bit regretful for saying it. If Shen Wan really tasted it, she’d know how the soup tasted and probably wouldn’t want to send it to Fang Anshuo. She frowned slightly, waiting for Shen Wan’s reaction.

Shen Wan thought: My future partner is regretting mocking me and saying the wrong thing, so should I taste it now? Definitely not.

“No need to taste it, there’s just this little bit. If it’s too delicious, I might not be able to resist drinking it all,” Shen Wan said seriously. “If I drink it all, Anshuo won’t have any. I’ve already messaged him saying I’m bringing it over soon, I can’t disappoint him. I followed the recipe exactly, so there shouldn’t be any problem. The blogger who wrote the recipe guaranteed that if you follow her instructions, it will definitely be fine. If it’s not good, you can go find her.”

Zhong Jiaren let out a small sigh of relief, turning her face to the side to hide her smile. With Shen Wan’s crude salt-adding technique, she felt a bit sorry for the blogger. However, this silly girl didn’t seem to have any intention of tasting it. Although the reason was that she was afraid Fang Anshuo wouldn’t get any, Zhong Jiaren wasn’t angry at all now and couldn’t wait for Fang Anshuo to drink it all.

“I’ll drive you over.”

Hearing Zhong Jiaren’s proactive offer, Shen Wan was a bit surprised. “188, what do you think Jiaren means? Has she suddenly taken a liking to me, trying to slowly win me over with these little details, making me fall into her web of love and deeply fall for her attentiveness and gentleness?”

[188: “Wan Wan, I think you might be misunderstanding. From analyzing Jiaren’s micro-expressions, she seems curious and expectant. Based on all the previous clues, my guess is that she wants to watch the show in person.”]

Shen Wan pouted slightly. Is that so?

“I can drive myself.” Shen Wan carried the thermos out of the kitchen and placed it on the coffee table in the living room. Then she went upstairs to change into clean clothes. Zhong Jiaren surprisingly followed her, not leaving her side. If she didn’t know that Jiaren wanted to go watch the show, she might have thought Jiaren couldn’t bear to be apart from her for a moment. Just thinking about it made her annoyed. “Jiaren, you should rest. I’ll go by myself, no need to trouble you.”

“Didn’t you play games all night last night and only went to sleep so late this morning? You haven’t slept well, how can you drive? Let me take you. Mom and Dad told me to take good care of you. If anything happened to you, I’d be fully responsible.”

Very good, this excuse was excellent. Did they think her family didn’t have a driver? Well, since they could drive themselves now, the driver had been reassigned to the company, and her parents’ driver was on vacation.

“Driving while tired isn’t good,” Zhong Jiaren added.

Shen Wan thought: I wonder who has dark circles under their eyes. Zhong Jiaren, why are you like this? I don’t know who didn’t sleep well last night.

But seeing that Zhong Jiaren did look quite energetic, she nodded. “Then thank you, Jiaren.”

“What’s there to thank? We’re family. Taking care of you for Mom and Dad is only natural, isn’t it?” Zhong Jiaren’s attitude was exceptionally good at this moment. Shen Wan wasn’t impressed at all. If this was how her future partner behaved, she’d refuse.

After changing clothes, Shen Wan carried the thermos. They got into Zhong Jiaren’s car, which drove at a moderate pace towards the hospital. After getting out of the car, Shen Wan said, “Jiaren, I can go up by myself.” Really, don’t come watch the show. This kind of entertainment, she wanted to enjoy alone.

“I’ll have to pick you up later anyway. I don’t want to make another trip.”

“Don’t you have anything to do this afternoon?”

“Nothing at all,” Zhong Jiaren said calmly, parking the car and already opening the door, walking towards the hospital entrance. She gave Shen Wan no chance to object. “Have you forgotten what happened yesterday? I’m still shaken. If I hadn’t come to pick you up, who knows what might have happened. If you hadn’t run fast enough, it might be you lying in the hospital now.”

“That’s true.” Shen Wan’s face changed slightly, her acting so convincing that Zhong Jiaren couldn’t tell if Shen Wan was truly scared or just pretending. Her face, as pale as paper, really didn’t look like an act. Perhaps it was real?

“Then Jiaren, if you have time recently, I’ll really have to trouble you to drive me around.” Shen Wan carried the thermos, not waiting for Zhong Jiaren to speak. “Just thinking about last night makes me a bit afraid to drive alone. Oh right, my car is still in the parking lot near the cinema. I don’t want to go to that place. Could you please ask someone to drive it back for me? The thought of going to the parking lot alone scares me. I’m afraid those thugs might suddenly appear. Who knows what might happen if they show up when I’m opening the car door.”

“Jiaren, it’s really terrifying.” Shen Wan’s face was full of fear, her hands tightly gripping the thermos. “I should stay home more recently. Jiaren, if you have time, could you accompany me?”

Zhong Jiaren: “…” Something felt off.

She only said she’d go up to wait because she wanted to watch the show. She said she was worried about Shen Wan because she wanted to see what would happen. She didn’t say she’d drive her around in the future, did she? Just mentioning last night’s events, what strange things had this stupid girl imagined in her head? But seeing Shen Wan’s frightened expression and little gaze, she really couldn’t refuse. Perhaps last night’s arranged events had really scared her?

If so, she couldn’t do such things anymore when Shen Wan and Fang Anshuo were on dates. Would doing it a couple more times really scare Shen Wan? That wasn’t her original intention. Shen Wan might be a bit stupid, but she wasn’t bad-hearted, and she was Shen Zhenshan and his wife’s daughter. She couldn’t possibly hurt her.

“Jiaren…” Shen Wan’s pitiful voice brought Zhong Jiaren back to her senses. “Alright, if you need to go somewhere recently and I’m free, I’ll drive you. Oh, how about I arrange a driver for you?”

“It’s not like they’re family. Who knows if someone who seems nice on the surface is actually good or evil? I’m really scared now. I recently saw two news stories about family drivers doing bad things. It’s so frightening.”

Seeing that Shen Wan seemed truly scared, Zhong Jiaren also felt a bit uneasy. “Okay, no driver. I’ll drive you.” After saying this, she felt something was off. But Shen Wan’s furrowed brow and worried little expression were so deceptive that she temporarily forgot to consider certain things carefully. Perhaps she subconsciously chose to ignore that Shen Wan was lying.

188 thought: This works too? Well, I’ve learned something new.

Arriving at the hospital room, Fang Anshuo was comforted to see Shen Wan really bringing a thermos. Especially when Shen Wan held her phone in front of him, showing him the video of her making the soup. He had long forgotten the slight doubt in his heart earlier. Although Shen Wan had a bit of a young lady’s temper, she was actually incredibly naive and pure. She couldn’t possibly have any ulterior motives. If she were really that scheming and even he couldn’t see through it, that would be terrifying.

Through their interactions over the past few months, he could still discern whether Shen Wan was pure or scheming. Looking at the milky-white soup in the thermos, Fang Anshuo felt even more relieved. It looked very tasty, so he wouldn’t have to pretend it was delicious and torture himself.

If he said a rich young lady’s soup wasn’t good, wouldn’t that offend her? Moreover, he hadn’t expected Zhong Jiaren to come along. Now he definitely couldn’t say Shen Wan’s soup didn’t taste good.

With such a good appearance, it must be delicious.

Shen Wan had already poured a bowl for Fang Anshuo. With her own little thoughts, she said, “I left in a hurry and forgot to bring a spoon.”

“It’s alright, I can drink straight from the bowl.” Fang Anshuo didn’t blame her at all, instead looking touched. “I never thought Wan Wan would personally make soup for me. You’re a young lady, how could you do such things?”

“Why couldn’t I do these things? You were beaten up for me last night.” Shen Wan looked full of guilt. “And I, because I was so scared I almost lost my soul, forgot about this. I went back and slept soundly. Luckily you were fortunate, Anshuo. If something had really happened, I would have regretted it and been sad for life.”

Zhong Jiaren and Fang Anshuo both observed Shen Wan’s expression, finding that she did indeed look very guilty. There were even fearful tears glistening in her eyes. They both believed that Shen Wan had truly forgotten about the incident out of fear. With this, they both dismissed the idea that Shen Wan had deliberately forgotten about it. Fang Anshuo was happy, but Zhong Jiaren wasn’t so pleased. This silly girl really did like Fang Anshuo, didn’t she? She sat to the side, deep in thought.

“Anshuo, don’t say anymore. The soup is still warm, drink it quickly.”

Seeing Shen Wan’s expectant look, Fang Anshuo quickly nodded. The soup did smell very fragrant, and there wasn’t much in the small bowl. He held the bowl, tilted his head back, and drank it in one gulp. The moment the soup entered his mouth, if not for his extreme self-control, he would have spat it out.

It was so salty!!!

His face turned red from the saltiness, especially as he glimpsed Shen Wan’s expectant face over the rim of the bowl. He also noticed Zhong Jiaren’s gaze. In the end, exerting his maximum self-control, he swallowed the extremely salty soup. He felt like he wasn’t drinking soup, but poison. Shen Wan wasn’t Shen Wan, and he wasn’t himself. He suspected Shen Wan might be Pan Jinlian reincarnated, poisoning him.

“Does it taste good?” Shen Wan sat to the side, cupping her face, asking with eager eyes. “There’s more, it’s all yours. Drink slowly, don’t choke, no one’s going to fight you for it. Earlier, Jiaren watched me make the soup with such an expectant look, she seemed to want to drink it too. In the end, I didn’t let her because this soup is only for you, no one else can drink it.”

Zhong Jiaren pursed her lips: Thank you so much for sparing me, I really can’t accept such kindness.

But she still played along, her gaze fixed on Fang Anshuo’s face. It was as if Fang Anshuo had stolen her food. Seeing Zhong Jiaren cooperate so well, Shen Wan felt her future partner was finally getting on track. She mentally added some impression points.

Fang Anshuo thought: He really wished Zhong Jiaren had forcefully taken this bowl of soup away. He really couldn’t handle such a blessing.

“It’s… it’s delicious,” Fang Anshuo managed to reply after recovering.

In front of Zhong Jiaren and the others in the hospital room, he couldn’t say it didn’t taste good and make Shen Wan lose face, could he? It smelled nice, looked great, but why was it so painful to taste?

“Then have some more.” Shen Wan poured another bowl for Fang Anshuo, her gaze expectant. “Drink up, you’re injured, so you must finish it all today. I’ll watch you drink it. It’s good for your body, you can’t leave a single drop.” Her serious expression gave Fang Anshuo goosebumps all over. He felt at a loss facing such care from the rich young lady.

“Wan Wan rarely makes soup, you shouldn’t waste her efforts. If my parents found out, they’d surely scold her again,” Zhong Jiaren reminded kindly from the side. The underlying message was clear: Look, Wan Wan even cooked soup for you, do you have the heart to leave any and disappoint her?

Fang Anshuo thought: I can’t refuse.

“Young man, you two are really loving,” an old man nearby said with a smile. “The soup your girlfriend made smells really good. You must cherish such a beautiful and capable girlfriend.”

“Yes, young man, hurry and drink it. The soup won’t taste as good if it gets cold. The young lady put her heart into it,” an old lady from another bed also couldn’t help but advise, her face full of smiles.

Fang Anshuo tearfully accepted the bowl of soup from Shen Wan, gritted his teeth, and drank it all in one go. There was still about half a bowl left, which Shen Wan held out to him. Fang Anshuo really wanted to vomit but didn’t dare.

“Wan Wan, you spent so long making the soup, why don’t you try some too?” His plan was to let Shen Wan realize how unpalatable the soup was, yet he had drunk it all. He wanted to see if she would feel moved and guilty. He really didn’t want to drink the remaining half bowl. Honestly, could he regret dating Shen Wan for two seconds?

Shen Wan looked serious. “I said it’s all for you. Anshuo, be good, you must finish it all. It’s good for your health.” With that, she held the soup bowl up to Fang Anshuo’s face, looking as if she’d be angry if he didn’t drink it.

Fang Anshuo took the bowl with shaking hands. “Wan Wan, you’re so good to me, I’m really moved.” Then he drank it all in one gulp and returned the bowl to Shen Wan. “I’m truly touched.”

“Was it delicious?”

“Very delicious.”

“Then shall I make you some more tomorrow?”

Fang Anshuo: “That’s not necessary. I feel bad for you. How could I let a rich young lady cook in the kitchen every day?”

“Why not? Making soup for the person I like is nothing,” Shen Wan said matter-of-factly.

Fang Anshuo, thinking about potentially having to drink more of this salt-field-like soup, said a lot of things and finally got Shen Wan to give up. After Shen Wan left, his back was covered in cold sweat. Listening to the praise from the old man and woman, he limped to the bathroom and frantically rinsed his mouth at the sink.

This soup was the most unpalatable he had ever tasted in his life, and he never wanted to try it again.

“Jiaren, Anshuo is so considerate of me, not wanting me to cook. What should I do to make it up to him recently?”

Zhong Jiaren’s face was expressionless: “I’ve never been in a relationship, so I don’t know.”

“Patients need company. How about I bring my game console over and play games with him? He should be very happy about that, right?”

Zhong Jiaren thought: Are you sure? Isn’t Fang Anshuo currently in charge of a project? She had just noticed the folder beside him. Even lying in the hospital bed, he didn’t seem to have let go of work. Bringing a game console over, wouldn’t that just be causing trouble?
