Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

Golden Agent of the Adonis (30)

Since Zhou Yuan’s public image had always been good, the news of her being the ‘suspected mistress’ attracted a lot of attention as soon as it came out. Netizens merely felt that there was an interesting plot twist to the drama that they were witnessing, as if the Acting King and Queen were being overturned.

Someone even took Zhou Yuan’s Weibo post out of context. Her statement that mentioned, ‘every outstanding person will have their fair share of suitors’ was probably words that were meant for herself! Chen Lifeng was obviously paired with Chu Xiang, so Zhou Yuan, thinking that he was ‘outstanding’, probably just hooked him up.

Then, Chen Lifeng claimed that ‘being grouped together does not necessarily indicate that both parties have a good relationship’.  Haha, was he talking about himself? Did betraying Chu Xiang indicate that the two of them still had a ‘good relationship’?

The rumors that Chen Lifeng betrayed Chu Xiang and cheated on Zhou Yuan became more and more intense as everyone demanded an explanation. Wasn’t it pretty easy for them to explain things? Chen Lifeng even stated the same thing twice in a single day. So, why weren’t they eager to speak up now?

Not only did everyone demand they provide a plausible explanation, they also asked for Chu Xiang to take a stand. Everyone encouraged her to not be afraid and to speak up if she was facing any sort of difficulty since she had the support of the netizens that wanted to seek justice for her.

The trending searches that insulted Chu Xiang had long since fallen as Chen Lifeng and Zhou Yuan were the ones occupying the headlines. In just one day, this incident took a shocking turnaround. Netizens who only speculated and witnessed the drama unfold were impressed, some of them even hyping up the involved parties to make them tear each other apart. It was so cool to expose everyone’s dark pasts, so they were really satisfied with the way things turned out!

Fang Zhenxuan was by Chu Xiang’s side the entire time, so he was the person who knew of the ins and outs the most. He couldn’t help sighing when he saw this, “Sister Agent is really amazing. You’re able to control the overall situation and launch a counterattack even when your body is frail— I’m very impressed and I have nothing but admiration for you!”

Chu Xiang stretched her waist, exercising her cervical spine slowly as she said with a smile, “You still have many chances to admire my work in the future. Xinxin is probably sleepy by now, no? It’s pretty late, you two should go back.”

It was already past 8 o’clock in the evening, so it was time for Xinxin to rest. Fang Zhenxuan glanced at the living room where Xinxin was watching TV on the sofa with a pillow in her arms. It wasn’t good for a child to watch TV shows for the entire day, but with how pale Chu Xiang looked and how she was still working endlessly, he really couldn’t just leave her alone.

He hesitated, “Will Xiao Lin, who sent us the contract before, come to take care of you? Or are you going to ask for a friend to come over?”

Chu Xiang felt that she really didn’t have much physical strength and if she didn’t want to consume her spiritual energy, she had to find someone to take care of her. But… Xiao Lin got along with the original owner quite a lot. If she were to get too close to her this quickly after transmigrating, Xiao Lin would definitely notice that something’s different. After all, she already wasn’t feeling well, let alone keep up an act the entire time. But after thinking about it for a bit longer, she glanced at Fang Zhenxuan.

Fang Zhenxuan had a puzzled expression on his face, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Chu Xiang smiled slightly, “You see, it’s not convenient for me to call anyone over now that it’s night time. Besides, it’s not appropriate to let too many people know about what I’m doing. What if…”

Fang Zhenxuan understood in seconds, “You want me to stay here?”

Chu Xiang nodded, “This is a double bed, so we can have Xinxin sleep with me at night. The sofa is also very big and comfortable, so you won’t feel tired even if you sleep there. Since it happens that your house is very close from here, how about we see how things go later and you stay for the night? It would be better for you to go back home tomorrow. So, what do you think?”

Fang Zhenxuan looked around and his first reaction was that he had never stayed the night in a woman’s house before. But after thinking about it, he was just going to take care of Chu Xiang, so wasn’t this just the same as him keeping vigil in the hospital ward? It didn’t seem like it was improper to remain here.

He touched the back of his neck, pursed his lips and nodded, “Okay. Then, I’ll… go back and get a few things before coming right back.”

“Mm, okay,” Chu Xiang smiled back before she started making more calls in a lighter mood.

Fang Zhenxuan looked at her and thought that she was probably going to pass out at any given time, but she also looked like a brave warrior. These two entirely different temperaments of hers collided together and merged with much tacitness, but it was just ironic to him.

He told Xinxin to take good care of Chu Xiang before he headed out and ran all the way home.

His house was indeed very close to hers since he got home in 5 or 6 minutes. He washed up quickly and loaded some of Xinxin’s items for her. Then, he proceeded to make a run back to Chu Xiang’s house.
