Transmigrating into the Male Supporting Character’s Ex-wife

What dignity did he have as a boss? Even his own secretary can mock him, what else can he say?

The place where the two were talking was not far from Ruan Jiu Jiu’s office and Ruan Jiu Jiu listened enough before pushing open the door and walking out, asking, “What’s the matter with you?”

Tu Nan was like a fellow villager seeing another fellow villager[1], with tears in his eyes, he grabbed Ruan Jiu Jiu’s arm and pulled her back to her office. As soon as he entered the door, he bumped into the boss who was sitting in the office, and Tu Nan immediately became embarrassed. As soon as Tu Nan entered the door[2], Cheng Jun stared directly at the place where Tu Nan was holding Ruan Jiu Jiu’s arm, and that look reminded Tu Nan of his fear of working overtime.

Tu Nan quickly let go.

He had already offended the secretary today, and if he offends another boss, he will not be able to live this day.

Ruan Jiu Jiu put her hands on his(TN) shoulders in a funny way, and asked, “So what the hell were you doing just now?”

Tu Nan said with a gloomy face, “It’s just a normal interaction between men and women. No, sister-in-law, you don’t know, I haven’t had time to talk to you yet. I wanted to talk to you yesterday to discuss the specifics of the drama, but when I saw you kneeling on the ground crying…”

“Okay, please skip that part, thank you.” Ruan Jiu Jiu shows a fake smile.

Tu Nan didn’t realize that he had offended the boss’ wife too.

He touched the top of his head and said, “I just found out that my secretary has a crush on me.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “Hmmm?”

Faced with Ruan Jiu Jiu’s big reaction, Tu Nan was even more aggrieved: “Sister-in-law, what is with your reaction, is there anything wrong with what I said?”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “… yes yes, you continue.”

“Anyway, I found that she pays attention to me, not only at work but also in life. I went on a blind date twice last week, and she wasn’t happy about it and gave me the cold shoulder for a day or so. Also, she always intentionally gets my attention, and then pretends that she doesn’t care with an opposite attitude.”

Other than that, Ruan Jiu Jiu remembered Tu Nan’s two blind dates. He threw a negotiation assignment to the secretary, which caused the secretary’s plan to take a leave of absence to fail, and the little girl’s face was full of dissatisfaction.

After listening to Tu Nan’s various “proofs”, Ruan Jiu Jiu was very sure that this guy was probably single for too long, and had a delusion called “the opposite [email protected] looked at me and I’ll think of what would be the best name for our child”.

These are all one-sided feelings of Tu Nan.

Ruan Jiu Jiu asked patiently: “So…is there any concrete evidence that she had ever confessed to you?”

At the mention of this, Tu Nan’s eyes lit up.

“There is!”

Last time, he was a little tired and fell asleep on his desk for a while. The secretary reminded him that there would be a meeting in half an hour, and then Tu Nan sat up straight. At this time, he and the little secretary met each other’s eyes, and he could clearly see that the often cold eyes had a shy smile, she pursed her lips slightly, and she still wanted to speak.

“Boss…”

Tu Nan’s heart skipped a beat.

“As a result, we were interrupted by the phone, and I was really pissed off. Besides Confession, do you think there was another reason at that time?”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…”

That day, if she remembered correctly. At that time, she happened to go out of Cheng Jun’s office when she bumped into Tu Nan’s secretary. The little girl burst into laughter for a long time, Ruan Jiu Jiu couldn’t help but ask a question, then the secretary looked at her and said with a smile: “Boss Tu slept while laying down for a while, and when he sat up, there was a round watch mark[3] on his forehead. He looks especially like Erlang Shen[4].”

Looking at Tu Nan with a rippling expression in front of her, Ruan Jiu Jiu really couldn’t bear to hurt [5]him.

“This is all your one-sided idea. If you can’t be sure, talking to the secretary like this is sexual harassment and an office romance.”

Tu Nan said with a smug face: “She will definitely confess to me.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu: “I wish you good luck.”

Now that Tu Nan is here, Ruan Jiu Jiu forcibly pushed Cheng Jun toward Tu Nan and told the big boss to stop staying in her office and disturbing her peace of mind. There was still a lot of work today, and Ruan Jiu Jiu was not in the mood to argue with them. At this time, Ruan Jiu Jiu suddenly understood the feelings of Tu Nan’s Secretary.

When she can’t get away, she always wants to smash a man’s dog head with a hammer[6]!

She wonders how long Tu Nan’s daydreaming would last.

Ruan Jiu Jiu was rushing to work when the door was pushed open and it was Lao Meng who came in.

Ruan Jiu Jiu glanced sideways at him and said, “Is something wrong?”

Lao Meng said with a smile: “Today’s Jiu Jiu is still a diligent Jiu Jiu, ah.”

“If you have something to say, say it.”

“This is about you first. You little girl, why didn’t you tell me when you made a set of souvenirs, my wife liked it and said she wanted to invite you to draw a copy of the original.”

“Huh? Souvenirs?”

Ruan Jiu Jiu looked at Lao Meng blankly, Lao Meng shook a keychain in his hand. It was a small ice sculpture of the image of a heroine. It was exquisitely crafted and vivid, about the length of a finger. The souvenir was officially announced by Jiacheng today, and it was also posted on Weibo, Aite (@): The artist is a stupid bird that flies first[7].

Ruan Jiu Jiu was busy with her drafts, so she naturally didn’t notice it.

She looked at the small ice sculpture. She was surprised and delighted that Cheng Jun turned it into a keychain.

Looking back, Ruan Jiu Jiu thought it was a pity that the ice sculpture stayed too short, but now it is better, and it will be preserved forever. It turned out that Cheng Jun asked for her photos for such a purpose.

Her heart warmed as she took the keychain and shook it.

“It’s so pretty.”

“One more thing.”

“What?”

“If you have time, there will be a small gathering the day after tomorrow. All attendees are colleagues. Some of them are my friends. I will take you to meet the outside world.”

Ruan Jiu Jiu was flattered: “This… is this okay?”

“Just remember to dress up beautifully.” Lao Meng patted Ruan Jiu Jiu’s head with a smile, like treating his own child, “It’s nice, if it wasn’t for my wife’s health, I would also want a daughter. That stinky boy in my family is no fun at all.”

Hearing Lao Meng’s words, Ruan Jiu Jiu couldn’t laugh nor cry: “How can you use the word ‘fun’ in describing your children? Also, I’m not young anymore.”
