Transmigrating into the Male Supporting Character’s Ex-wife-Chapter 80.1: where I used Brother driver instead of Uncle driver, sorry about that hehe

Today’s Ruan Jiu Jiu was still the depressed Ruan Jiu Jiu.

Obviously, when she was sitting in the car yesterday morning, she still didn’t want to talk to Cheng Jun, but now she has completely reversed the situation. Also sitting in the back row, Cheng Jun very deliberately nestled on the other side, stiffly separated from Ruan Jiu Jiu by a distance of one person.

The two were silent, and the uncle driver[1] seemed to be slightly embarrassed by the situation, so he simply pulled down the car partition so that the couple could solve the problem by themselves.

Cheng Jun lowered his head and put his hands in his pockets. His messy short hair was fluffy and soft. He probably didn’t sleep well, and some of his hair was frizzy. Although the tips of his hair were bent into weird little arcs, some people would still find it cute.

His eyelids drooped, unsure whether he was looking at his legs or staring at the car in a daze. Ruan Jiu Jiu took a sideway glance at his face, she could see his long and thick eyelashes, and after a long while, he slowly blinked.

…If he hadn’t blinked, she would have almost thought that the man beside her was a large doll.

Ruan Jiu Jiu was even more depressed.

There was an old saying, that husband and wife have no overnight feud[2], so why is he still thinking about it? When Ruan Jiu Jiu noticed that around his eyes were dark blue and looked like he hadn’t slept well, she felt a burst of guilt.

Sure enough, he was still frightened[3]. She shouldn’t have made fun of such things.

Ruan Jiu Jiu still remembered when she was in junior high school, there was a girl in their class who studied well and was particularly afraid of insects. At that time, the boys in their class were the kind that everyone hated and lacked any moral sense. They tease people as much as they can and they take any opportunity to commit death[4]. When they knew from some source that the girl was afraid of insects, some people got a bunch of insects overnight and stuffed them all into her school bag.

When she got off the P.E. class and took out the book from her school bag, she pulled out a lot of dead bugs, and some bugs that are alive pounced out and hit the girl in her cheeks and neck.

A very shrill scream was heard inside the classroom.

Then, Ruan Jiu Jiu, just like the other students in their class, watched the girl run out crying, dropped out of school, and disappeared.

Because of this incident, the boys in their class never dared to lay a finger on anyone else.

At that time, Ruan Jiu Jiu, just like other girls, was still a little afraid of bugs, the dark, and ghosts. In order to avoid such a situation from happening to herself, she tried her best to get used to these terrifying things. From the sleepless nights in the beginning, she gradually became numb, and later, Ruan Jiu Jiu found amusement in it and completely became an enthusiast of thrill-seeking experiences.

Now, looking at Cheng Jun’s depressed state, Ruan Jiu Jiu suddenly realized that she was no different from those boys who like to tease people.

“That…”

Ruan Jiu Jiu cautiously moved toward Cheng Jun’s direction. In return, Cheng Jun leaned directly against the glass window, with an expression like he was afraid of Ruan Jiu Jiu approaching him.

Ruan Jiu Jiu was unyielding: “What happened last night…”

“Don’t mention it.” Cheng Jun interrupted her dejectedly.

Sure enough, it had become very serious ah!

What if it leaves a psychological shadow?!

Ruan Jiu Jiu felt remorseful and tried to continue communicating with Cheng Jun: “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have let you watch horror movies, and caused you a bad experience. But don’t worry, I will definitely not look for you the next time I watch this kind of movie!”

I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have let you watch horror movies.

I will definitely not look for you next time.

I shouldn’t have…

I will definitely……next time

Ruan Jiu Jiu’s sincere assurance echoed in Cheng Jun’s ears.

If only Ruan Jiu Jiu could understand why Cheng Jun was depressed at this moment, she would know that what she just said was the same as secondary damage[5] to Cheng Jun.

Cheng Jun still remembered the book that mentioned the signs when a woman no longer loves: when a woman is no longer emotionally dependent on you and learns to take care of everything by herself, she no longer needs you.

She, no longer, needs, you.

Boss Cheng shut himself up.

Facing Ruan Jiu Jiu’s sincere gaze, Cheng Jun lifted the hood of his hoodie and put it on without a word, grabbed the two elastic ropes with one hand, and pulled it down silently. The hood gradually shrank, covering a large part of his face.

At this moment, Cheng Jun’s mood can be described in one word, and that is –

Mourning.

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…”

What did she say wrong again?!

The silent and eerie atmosphere between the two continued into the company.

Jiao Fan just came back from a business trip and happened to bump into Cheng Jun who was walking towards the office. He greeted him happily, but the boss didn’t even glance at him. Cheng Jun, with his hands in his pockets and his head hanging low, crossed Jiao Fan and walked away. That posture, that expression, and if he(CJ) dressed up, he(JF) would have thought that the cast of “The Walking Dead” went to the wrong set.

Jiao Fan was shocked: Boss, what happened?

Realizing that something was wrong, Jiao Fan quickly sent a message to Tu Nan and asked, “Did anything major happen during my absence?”

Tu Nan replied quickly: “Of course there is!”

“What? What!”

Jiao Fan’s heart sank. He didn’t even know that such a big thing happened in the company, it was his negligence of duty.

Tu Nan said lightly: “I’m about to fall in love ah.”

Jiao Fan: “…”

Tu Nan: “? Why aren’t you talking?”

Jiao Fan: “Be human[6].”

Tu Nan, who was inexplicably disliked, felt wronged. He sat in his office, pondered for a long time, and suddenly figured things out – Jiao Fan’s relationship has not yet been settled, and he’s in a state of not being able to love. As soon as he comes back, he encounters a display of affection, so it was totally normal to be angry.

Thinking of this, Tu Nan no longer felt wronged.

At this moment, the door was knocked softly, and it was the secretary who came in. She was dressed in the same way, as usual, today, but with Tu Nan’s good eyesight, it was very easy to find that the little secretary had put on lipstick and eyeshadow.

T/N: Hello, I know I did say I won’t be leaving translator notes anymore, but I just wanna say sorry for the slow updates. I’m actually really busy in real life coz I’m a graduation student. So yeah, although I will always post an update at least once a month. Hehe~
