Quick Transmigration: The Villain Always Ends Up with the Male Lead

Seeing that Shi Qi's face seemed a little darker, Gu Yu asked, "What happened to your house? Surely the wiring isn't already worn out after we just moved in?"

Shi Qi said calmly, "It's nothing, the pot just burned."

That's it...

Shi Qi continued, "The fire just went out, it's not a big problem... Um, your foot..."

Gu Yu then realized that she was still carrying slippers, blushed, and immediately put the slippers back on.

"I was in such a rush just now, I thought... cough cough... you have a housekeeper to cook for you, right?"

"Oh, she went home to take care of her daughter's child."

"May I go in and take a look?"

Shi Qi stepped aside to let him in.

As soon as he entered the house, he smelled a burning odor; the smell became even stronger in the kitchen.

In a corner of the kitchen, a pot lay there peacefully, its contents completely mangled. Even the walls were stained black, indicating that the kitchen was unusable for the time being.

"If you don't mind, would you like to have a meal at my place?"

Shi Qi didn't think much of it and nodded without hesitation.

After changing her shoes, Su Xiaonan went to Gu Yu's house next door, where she found him sitting on the sofa waiting for him to have dinner.

"You're back... Mr. Shi?"

Shi Qi walked over and nodded slightly to her: "Miss Su." His tone was distant.

Su Xiaonan was taken aback by his tone. Why did Shi Qi suddenly seem like a different person?

OOC warning! That's the thought popping into my head.

Shi Qi: "..." Where did I go out of character? Isn't 'the kind of person' who likes to "ignore people who have no use to him"? Su Xiaonan has no use to him now.

The notification in his mind went silent, as if he thought Shi Qi's words made sense.

Unlike most people who leave themselves a way out, Shi Qi prefers to leave himself no way out. Just like when he said he was going to win over Su Xiaonan, he completely abandoned Gu Yu. Now that he wants to win over Gu Yu, he naturally has to abandon Su Xiaonan.

Gu Yu didn't explain anything to her, but simply asked the housekeeper to add another set of chopsticks and a bowl.

Okay, now it goes without saying that Su Xiaonan knows why Shi Qi is here.

During the meal, Gu Yu asked, "What are your plans next?"

"These questions, so cryptic, definitely aren't directed at me," Su Xiaonan thought.

Sure enough, Shi Qi chimed in, "Let's order takeout."

"This can't go on... How about I have the housekeeper bring you food on the way?"

Shi Qi shook his head: "I don't like unfamiliar people coming into my house."

Someone you don't know well? So, does that mean he's someone you know in a certain way?

Gu Yu's favorability +5

Unsure of what kind of emotion had clouded his judgment, Gu Yu said, "If you don't mind, you can come to my house for dinner."

Shi Qi glanced at him quietly and said decisively, "Okay." Her expression remained calm, but she thought to herself: This is exactly what I've been waiting for.

Su Xiaonan was startled by their conversation and immediately began coughing violently. How could they just let someone stay at their house for meals for so long! Was that appropriate?!

The wealthy and powerful CEO Gu didn't see anything wrong with this, and even interpreted Su Xiaonan's cough as her not wanting Shi Qi to eat there...

'Fate Value -5'

I have to say, it's really great to have someone you can imagine and fantasize about when you're trying to win someone over.

The next morning, Shi Qi and Gu Yu both went back to work. Because Gu Yu and Shi Qi had different work schedules, and their companies were on different routes, they did not run into each other that morning.

Instead, when Shi Qi opened the door, he was greeted by Su Xiaonan's face.

"Miss Su, is there anything I can help you with?" His voice was as calm as Su Xiaonan's had heard it yesterday.

Su Xiaonan forced a smile: "Mr. Shi, would you like to come to my house for breakfast?"

She was about to leave when she said, "Sorry, I don't have the habit of eating breakfast at home on weekdays."

Su Xiaonan stopped Shi Qi: "Mr. Shi, may I ask why your attitude is completely different from before?"

Shi Qi walked past her, standing beside her, and said, "It's just to get revenge on Gu Yu." Then he left.

Su Xiaonan was left standing there, stunned, her mind blank.

So, in retrospect, she was just a tool for revenge against others? All her fantasies were nothing but illusions, and she was just indulging in wishful thinking.

She had previously imagined that after her divorce from Gu Yu, she might be with this gentle man, and they would live happily ever after. But now, it all seemed like a joke.

But it's understandable; someone like her shouldn't exist in their world. Even if she were to manage to get involved, no one would respect her. In their eyes, she's nothing more than a clown.

'Fate Value -10'

This significant drop in destiny value was entirely within Shi Qi's expectations. He was also certain that with Su Xiaonan's assistance, Gu Yu's favorability would increase further, which was why he spoke so ambiguously.

In the evening, after Gu Yu returned home, he found that Su Xiaonan, who was usually on the sofa in the living room, was not there today. Gu Yu didn't think much of it. When it was almost time to eat, he called Shi Qi and asked him to come over.

Coincidentally, when Shi Qi entered the room, Su Xiaonan had just come downstairs.

The three sat at the dining table, and Gu Yu felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange. It seemed that Su Xiaonan never looked up and left after eating only a little.

"Aren't you going to offer some comfort?"

Gu Yu was a little confused. What did he mean by that?

Then Shi Qi continued, "I can tell that your wife doesn't seem to be in a very good mood."

"..."

Not long after, Shi Qi also left.

Then, he received a message from Su Xiaonan upstairs: Can you come to my room? I have something to tell you.

What could be wrong? Gu Yu knocked on Su Xiaonan's door with a puzzled look on his face.

The door was opened quickly, and the room was dimly lit. By the light from the corridor, he could vaguely see Su Xiaonan's red and swollen eyes.

Su Xiaonan stepped aside to let him in, then closed the door. Gu Yu stood opposite her, waiting for her to speak.

“After you left this morning, I went to call Shiqi for breakfast, but he refused and said that he doesn’t eat at home on weekday mornings.”

Gu Yu nodded: "Then you don't need to go see him on weekday mornings anymore."

Su Xiaonan shook her head: "That's not what I wanted to say... When he was about to leave, I stopped him and asked him why his attitude was different from before. He said... that his previous attitude was to get revenge on you."

Gu Yu was silent for a moment, then said indifferently, "Okay, I understand." He then left Su Xiaonan's room.

In just a few minutes, Gu Yu thought a lot about the meaning of this "revenge".

In summary, it's either a desire for revenge, like seeing oneself as a rival, or it's a complaint about marrying someone else...

After much thought, I still think the second possibility is more likely. After all, if it were the former, Shi Qi wouldn't bother with such a trivial matter.

So, his previous guess was correct...

'Gu Yu's favorability +10'

007's eyes revealed a hint of admiration: "Host, how did you guess how things would turn out?"

"Let's guess and gamble. After Su Xiaonan feels that I have deeply hurt her, she will definitely tell Gu Yu the seemingly hostile things I said and use him to take revenge on me."

"Of course, I don't rule out the possibility that she might have exaggerated. The next step is to see how Gu Yu understands 'revenge.' Based on my observation of him, he certainly doesn't think that this kind of 'revenge' is just superficial. Once he understands the meaning, we'll have to see how accepting he is of the homosexual community. Obviously, his acceptance is good."

There are countless paths in the world, but only tricks win people's hearts.
