Transmigrating into the Male Supporting Character’s Ex-wife-Chapter 21

Ruan Jiu Jiu didn’t purposely ignore Cheng Jun, it’s just that from the start she didn’t consider him as an option for a companion.

Thinking about it, she didn’t have any friends and was all alone in this world, so at first she had thought about just reselling the companion ticket. But since it was a three-day trip and you could only bring “family members”, you probably had to do all the included activities together. After carefully considering things, Ruan Jiu Jiu decided to go by herself.

Cheng Jun? Cheng Jun definitely wouldn’t go with her.

Ruan Jiu Jiu definitely didn’t want to extend a hand, only for it to be slapped. So she simply eliminated this possibility.

She happily made preparations for the trip and notified the representative from Dreamy Chat that she would be attending solo. Immediately afterwards Ruan Jiu Jiu checked the local weather and specific locations. To her surprise there was even a private beach! She happily went off to pack a bikini.

Even though she was a landlubber, that didn’t mean she couldn’t soak up some sunshine on the beach.

At this time, Ruan Jiu Jiu suddenly felt some regret. If only she had a friend to vacation with, she definitely would’ve been able to get some nice photos taken.

In contrast to Ruan Jiu Jiu’s extremely cheerful mood, Cheng Jun, who was at the office today, seemed a bit more taciturn than normal.

Those who had known him for a while and were familiar with his personality would know that right now, he wasn’t in a good mood. The other people in the room were all a bit scatterbrained. Assuming that there was some issue with the game, they all bolted around in a panic to check for problems. Among them, only Tu Nan was clear on what the matter was.

They were done for.

The perfectly prepared ass-kissing not only didn’t land properly on the ass, it even exploded in his face.

He was also puzzled, did the two of them get into a fight? Why wasn’t Sister-in-law bringing Boss along to vacation?

A tempest of tears raged in his heart. On the surface, he even appeared to be giving crappy advice. He silently walked to Cheng Jun’s side.

The next moment, Tu Nan had a complicated expression on his face.

He thought Cheng Jun was busy working. He didn’t expect to see a WeChat window open on his laptop. The contact name at the top was “Ruan Jiu Jiu” and the chat was barren with not a single message. Ever since morning, Cheng Jun had been in that position patiently waiting. Tu Nan didn’t know how long Cheng Jun had been staring at that screen without even moving a muscle.

Tu Nan: “Um… Boss, did you guys fight?”

Cheng Jun was still silent in his contemplation.

Tu Nan coughed. “What about this? I’ll send another message to her and say that you also won a prize, and that you guys can go together.”

Cheng Jun didn’t say a word. His silhouette was faintly reflected on the screen. His eyes seemed to be staring off into the distance. Tu Nan shivered as if he had a bad premonition.

The tempest of tears continued to rage. He was too impulsive. Why’d he think of doing such an idiotic thing?

Tu Nan was in tears. “I didn’t know you were fighting with your wife. If I knew I wouldn’t have dug myself such a deep hole!”

If Ruan Jiu Jiu had heard Tu Nan’s words, she probably would have laughed herself to death.

Fight? Who could even fight with Cheng Jun? If she fought it’d be her loss!

Nighttime.

Ruan Jiu Jiu bought a heap of clothes for the trip and was currently stuffing them in the suitcase. She would be leaving in three days. She had to pack early lest she forgot something.

Just as she was busy stuffing in towels, she suddenly felt a coldness from behind.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “?”

She subconsciously lifted her head and discovered that Cheng Jun was standing to the side watching her pack.

Cheng Jun didn’t have much of an expression on his face. He had a Yakult in one hand and slowly tore open the top. He calmly met her gaze.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “… You’re free?”

Cheng Jiu: “Mhm.”

“Perfect timing. Can you help me tidy these few things?”

After saying this, Ruan Jiu Jiu suddenly realized that she hadn’t told Cheng Jun about the trip. Taking into account the flight there and back, she might be gone for four or five days. Cheng Ju would have to figure out his meals himself.

She suddenly had an epiphany. No wonder Cheng Jun would be watching her in silence. He probably was confused.

“Oh right, I forgot to tell you something.”

“Go on.”

Cheng Jun turned sideways to take a sip of the Yakult. His expression was very calm. He looked out of the corner of his eyes in Ruan Jiu Jiu’s direction. He already knew what Ruan Jiu Jiu was going to say next.

“I won a prize and I’m going on a trip for a few days. You’ll have to figure things out for yourself for a bit. Don’t eat too much junk food.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu didn’t know why he seemed to be a bit unhappy.

They had known each other for a while and a tacit understanding developed between the two of them. Something suddenly clicked in her mind. She immediately understood what Cheng Jun was trying to get at. She thumped her chest. “Don’t you worry. Once I’m back I’ll cook you a feast! I’ll cook whatever you want to eat!”

Cheng Jun: “…”

Ruan Jiu Jiu saw his indifferent expression and was a little taken aback. She didn’t know what else Cheng Jun wanted to hear.

Cheng Jun slowly asked, “Just you?”

“Yeah. How could there be another person?” Ruan Jiu Jiu retorted in confidence. “What, is there a problem?”

“No.”

“Then come help. There’s a lot to do tonight.”

“My hand is sore.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “?”

He turned and walked back to the study, closing the door. Ruan Jiu Jiu was left looking at the shut door with a confused expression.

An hour hadn’t even passed yet before the representative from Dreamy Chant sent her a few more messages. All the messages were trying to confirm whether she really would be going alone. It wasn’t safe for a girl to travel alone, and they recommended that she bring a companion.

The other party emphasized that this trip’s highlights were the food and the scenery. They recommended that she bring someone who liked those two aspects.

Once food was mentioned, Ruan Jiu Jiu immediately thought of Cheng Jun.

She didn’t know that all the messages were sent by Tu Nan, who was currently working overtime in the office and crying all the while. He was just one message away from begging Ruan Jiu Jiu to bring Cheng Jun along. If she didn’t bring Cheng Jun, those few days would be hell on Earth for them.

Their boss was a workaholic and would definitely drag them into working overtime with him.

He had originally planned to use his vacation to go on blind dates. He didn’t want to be single anymore and have no one to love and no one to love him. Sister-in-law, wake up please!

Ruan Jiu Jiu seemed to have realized something retrospectively. Was Cheng Jun unhappy because she didn’t invite him along?

Once this conclusion popped out in her mind, Ruan Jiu Jiu almost couldn’t believe it.

But Cheng Jun’s expression did seem to be a little different than usual.

“…”

Ruan Jiu Jiu silently walked to Cheng Jun’s study and knocked on his door. “Cheng Jun? Have you gone to bed? I have something to say to you.”

As soon as she said that the door swung open. Cheng Jun was wearing a blue checkered pajama top and he looked a little tired. He looked down at Ruan Jiu Jiu and said, “I’m going to bed. Speak quickly.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…” It’d be weird if she believed him. He hadn’t even changed out of his pants. Going to bed my ass.

Ruan Jiu Jiu leaned against the wall. She hugged her elbows and asked, “About that trip… Did you want to go?”

Cheng Jun was just about to put his hand in his pocket and paused.

“You want to invite me?”

Ruan Jiu Jiu felt like he somehow had a hold of her. “… Yes.”

Cheng Jun sighed. “I’d have to pack, and the flight would be so tiring, and the airplane seats would be so uncomfortable, and the food on the plane is so gross…”

Ruan Jiu Jiu’s brows twitched. She cut him off. “So are you coming or not?”

“Coming.”

“…”

From the office, Tu Nan let out a cheer, exclaiming with tears practically rolling down his face, “Thank God! Boss is going to go on vacation! We can finally let loose!”

By coincidence, An Rou came in just as he was talking.

The look on An Rou’s face was of faint disappointment. It used to be that at this time of day Cheng Jun would always be in the office, but these days Cheng Jun went home more and more often, and he left earlier and earlier.

Hearing Tu Nan’s words, An Rou said somewhat doubtfully, “He’s taking time off?”

Cheng Jun actually would take time off?

Tu Nan happily responded, “Of course, he’s going on vacation with Sister-in-law. That resort is pretty good, they’d definitely have a good time.”

And in the meantime, they could also sort out their marital issues.

The smile on An Rou’s face froze slightly, but she immediately restored its usual warmth. “Perfect, I haven’t used my vacation days this year yet. I think I’ll also head over for some fun.”

Tu Nan had a bad premonition: “You mean…”

“I’m going to that resort too.”

“You can’t, An Rou, don’t cause any trouble.”

“What trouble, don’t we usually all work together? What’s wrong with vacationing together too. There’s no need for you to be so worried.”

Tu Nan attempted to persuade her otherwise, “What’s the fun in third-wheeling them by yourself?”

An Rou replied, “Jiao Fan will keep me company.”

Tu Nan: “What the hell?” He was a bit mad but couldn’t berate her. Tu Nan tightened his brows. With a stern expression, he said, “You should know that the consequences may very well be your suspension.”

An Rou said, “I joined just for Cheng Jun.”

How else would she have come back from overseas?

The game in development had entered a new phase. As the head designer, An Rou was in charge of a large majority of the crucial animation designs. There was no way she would be fired. She thought about it and decided to not hold back anymore. She’d either get what she wanted or leave. She’d have to act fast.

Tu Nan said, “You’ll be fired.”

An Rou locked eyes with him and said, “I don’t think so.”

If Cheng Jun really didn’t have any feelings for her, then why didn’t he kill her hopes and give her any signs of rejection after all the hints she had dropped?

Only

But how could An Rou know that Cheng Jun’s indifference stemmed from his complete lack of attention to her personal life.

Tu Nan said, “You…” He sighed. “I hope you sober up.” In Cheng Jun’s eyes, there was no one who was irreplaceable and he had ways of turning the situation around. It seemed like at this rate, An Rou would have to reap what she sowed. Tu Nan hoped she could at the very least remember this lesson.

An Rou smiled. “Am I that sort of person? Relax, I only want a little break.”

Thus.

That night, Tu Fan sleeplessly tossed and turned in bed. Thinking things over, he finally decided that it was better to tag along. He’d actually end up wasting his perfectly good vacation days on something like this. He was so pissed smoke was coming out his head, but at the same time he didn’t know what to say. Tu Nan quickly exchanged a few messages with Jiao Fan, agreeing on their joint vacation itinerary.

The last to hear the news was Fu Zi Cheng. Stupefied, he immediately let out a wail.

“What? We’re going on vacation?”

“I don’t wanna see their PDAAA—-”
