Chapter 52 (2/2)
Although Mu Shuiqing was pregnant, she wasn’t an exception to this rule and still had to stand near old madame to add food to her bowl.
Ji Man stood behind Wen Wan and looked the table full of fish and meat and silently swallowed her saliva.
This was called poor people can only smell the rich scent of meat and wine as they freeze to death in winter. She hadn’t even eaten dinner yet! These people were actually just sitting and talking nonsense while leaving these delicious delicacies untouched.
“The new cousin-in-law is truly beautiful. She’s much prettier than our old cousin-in-law.” Ning Errrong was a wearing a cute outfit that consisted of a vest-style garment lined with white fox fur and a sky blue, pleated skirt. She looked rather lively. Her
lively. Her eyes had looked at Sangyu for a long time before falling on Wen Wan’s body.
This devilish little ancestor had become friends with Sangyu several years ago after a period of discord. She never gave anyone any face. Although Wen Wan had a beautiful face, it had become significantly haggard during the past several days. She hadn’t been able to smile since the beginning of this dinner and resembled a squashed flower. Compared to Nie Sangyu, who had been using skincare products made of natural ingredients, her face looked quite inferior. And yet, Errong still said those words.
Hearing the words, “new” and “old”, made Ning Yuxuan’s expression turn ugly.
Sitting next to Errong, there was a man wearing a silver mask. He quietly said, “Errong, properly eat dinner and speak less,” and added more food to her bowl.
Ning Errong quietly harrumphed, lowered her head to eat, and firmly kicked Ning Mingjie’s leg underneath the table.
Ning Mingjie didn’t show any reaction to being kicked and only quietly ate dinner. When he inadvertently raised his head and saw a glance of Wen Wan, he felt that this woman was quite pretty.
Ji Man remembered that the female lead and the supporting male character had met during this banquet. But since she had entered this book, a lot of the details had already changed. Wen Wan also hadn’t caused as much trouble as written in the original novel. She couldn’t say whether or not the direction of the original plot was changing. However, whether or not the
or not the supporting male lead stayed was a serious matter that was related to preserving her life.
The reason than Nie Sangyu had been ordered to commit suicide was because this supporting male character had obtained the evidence of Nie Sangyu harming the female lead. As a result, the marquis had ended the supporting female character’s life in a fit of anger.
They were both supporting characters. Why did the supporting male character have to make life difficult for the supporting female character?
Ji Man couldn’t resist looking at Ning Mingjie a few more times. When that person paused while holding chopsticks, he inexplicably looked up and looked in her direction.
When his bright and beautiful eyes looked at her, Ji Man slightly froze for a moment before she hurriedly lowered her head and obediently went back to adding food to Wen Wan’s bowl.
Hey! This man’s eyes were too good-looking. No wonder people said that the male lead was for the female lead and the supporting male character was for the readers. A reader like her loved supporting male characters like him! Ah, he was such a beautiful man and his temperament also seemed better than Marquis Moyu. Perhaps, she should try her best to change the plot and let the male lead and female lead have their grand finale while she returned to her world with the supporting male character?
As she thought about this, Ji Man glanced at Ning Mingjie again and felt that it would be worth it try out this idea.
