Quick Transmigration: The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack, A Guide to Cunning Strat

The next day, Pei Yuning was working at his temporary residence in Jiangcheng when Pei Qi knocked on the door: "Master, Miss Fu greets you."

Pei Yuning was somewhat surprised: "So early." After tidying up the documents on the table, he instructed, "Just let her in."

"Yes."

Fu Shuwan followed the servant into the study and saw Pei Yuning sitting at a tea table to the side, pouring tea. She moved her stool over and sat down next to him, saying:

“Pei-Yu-Ning, I’m here. I found out from my dad that you live here. It’s a bit small. Why don’t you come stay at my house? I have a lot of empty yards.”

“My humble abode is indeed not as grand as the Fu residence, but it is sufficient for my needs. Miss Fu, have you come here today to inquire about the mastermind behind this?” Pei Yuning handed over a cup of tea.

"Hey, you've already found out who it is? So fast! Who is it?" Fu Shuwan took the teacup, took a sip, and put it aside.

"We've found out who this person is, but I'm afraid Miss Fu won't believe me if I tell you," Pei Yuning said, keeping everyone in suspense.

"Who is it? How could I not believe what Patriarch Pei said?"

"Miss Fu Ruoyu, a distinguished guest of Miss Fu's residence."

"Sister Ruoyu, how could this be? Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" Fu Shuwan looked at Pei Yuning, her eyes filled with surprise, sadness, and the hope that she had misheard, all stemming from the betrayal of a close relative.

Seeing her like this, Pei Yuning felt a little soft-hearted, but it was better to recognize people with bad intentions as soon as possible, so he said, "Your maid has confessed everything. If you don't believe me, I'll make her tell you herself."

Fu Shuwan's hope vanished instantly. She lowered her head, her voice tinged with grievance, like a disheveled little fox seeking comfort:

"But why would she do that? Doesn't she know that what happened yesterday will ruin me?"

Pei Yuning gently patted her head: "Now that you know she is no good person, you should not associate with her in the future."

Fu Shuwan covered her eyes with a handkerchief, as if trying to hide her loss of composure. Occasionally, she let out a few sobs, sounding extremely aggrieved.

Pei Yuning didn't rush her, letting her vent her emotions.

After a while, Fu Shuwan stopped crying, her shoulders trembling slightly, but she still lowered her head and covered her eyes with a handkerchief, seemingly a little embarrassed.

"I'll go get some tea, Miss Fu, please make yourself at home." Pei Yuning noticed her embarrassment and got up to leave.

When Pei Yuning returned, Fu Shuwan was no longer in the study. A servant told her that Miss Fu had left due to an emergency at home and would return the next day.

Pei Yuning chuckled, not taking Fu Shuwan's arrival tomorrow to heart.

Unexpectedly, Fu Shuwan came again the next day.

After a night, she returned to her usual energetic self, as if yesterday's events had little impact on her, though the redness around her eyes revealed her inner turmoil.

"Miss Fu, what brings you here today?"

"Can't I come to see you if I'm alright?"

Fu Shuwan leaned on the table, looking up at him like a cute little fox: "Oh, please don't call me Miss Fu anymore, it's too formal. Just call me Shuwan, Wanwan, or Jiaojiao."

"I'm afraid that's not appropriate." Pei Yuning suppressed the flutter in his heart and looked away from her.

“Yes, yes, very good.” Seeing that he wasn’t looking at her, Fu Shuwan straightened up and leaned closer, her eyes sparkling.

"Miss Fu, please speak frankly. What brings you to see me, Pei?"

"Oh dear." Fu Shuwan was unusually shy, her eyes darting away, but she still mustered up the courage to say, "I love you."

Pei Yuning's heart skipped a beat. He took a sip of tea, pretending to be calm, and asked, "I have only met Miss Fu a few times. Miss Fu, please don't joke around."

Fu Shuwan was a little anxious. Seeing that he didn't believe her, she recounted, "Look at you, you are handsome and gentle, and you are a young head of a family. You have also helped me and saved my innocence. That is a life-saving grace. I truly like you."

Seeing that Pei Yuning still didn't believe her, Fu Shuwan moved her stool next to him and asked, "Then what do you want me to do to make you believe me?"

A few strands of Fu Shuwan's hair brushed against Pei Yuning's fingers. His fingertips twitched slightly as he said, "Even so, I have no special feelings for Miss Fu. Please leave, Miss Fu."

"Feelings can be cultivated. My dad didn't fall in love with my mom all at once either. If we spend more time together, we can definitely develop feelings for each other too."

Seeing that Pei Yuning's tone had softened, Fu Shuwan felt that there was hope. She leaned on the table and looked at him, saying, "You do your thing, don't worry about me, I'll just stay here with you."

Seeing her shameless behavior, Pei Yuning said "Go ahead" in an annoyed tone and ignored her.

After a while, Fu Shuwan seemed to be unable to sit still and began to twist and turn from side to side.

Pei Yuning didn't look up, writing something in his hand, and said, "Since Miss Fu can't stay any longer, she may leave on her own."

"Who said I couldn't stand it anymore? I'm just a little hungry. Why don't you have any pastries here?"

"It is indeed inferior to your esteemed residence. If Miss Fu feels that we have been neglected, please leave."

“I suddenly don’t feel very hungry. May I look at the books on this bookshelf?” Fu Shuwan asked, her eyes darting around as she stood up and pointed to the bookshelf.

"random."

Pei Yuning caught Fu Shuwan pacing back and forth in front of the bookshelf out of the corner of his eye, muttering to himself, "Why is it all these books? There aren't any storybooks or even miscellaneous notes..."

Sure enough, not long after, Fu Shuwan came up to him again and said, "Pei Yuning, I suddenly remembered that my mother needs to see me. I have to go now. I'll come back to see you again tomorrow to get to know you better." Then she hurriedly ran away.

"Master, what's wrong with Miss Fu?" Pei Qi asked.

"I felt so bored I couldn't stand it anymore."

"Does the head of the family think it's true that Miss Fu said she likes you?" Pei Shi suddenly jumped out and asked curiously.

"It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing," Pei Yuning thought for a moment and then instructed, "Remember to always have pastries on hand in the future."

"Does the head of the family mean that Miss Fu will come again?" Pei Shi asked.

"They're still in high spirits; they're unlikely to stop anytime soon. Did she punish her cousin yesterday?"

"Nothing."

“Too soft-hearted.” Pei Yuning tapped the table, pondered for a moment, and said, “Let Nineteen find an opportunity to enter the Fu residence and become her personal maid to protect her at all times.”

"Yes."

[Wanwan, the male lead has arranged for someone to be by your side. Does that mean he's already fallen for you?]

(Can't you check the favorability rating from the backend?)

Human emotions are very complex. Someone might have a low level of affection, but they might already like you. Only when the affection level reaches 90% or higher can you be completely certain. So, although I can check the affection level, the value is too low to be a reliable indicator.

(So ​​that's how it is. Pei Yuning lost his mother at a young age, and his father didn't care for him. His concubine was in charge of the household. Although he had his aunt, the Empress Dowager, to support him, she was too far away to help him in his immediate situation. Therefore, he was very wary of people.)

Because of what happened back then, he paid more attention to me, and he probably has feelings for me now, but to truly get closer to him, I need to spend more time with him.

[Oh, I see. Wanwan deliberately fell into the water in front of the male lead and was saved by him, just to have an excuse to get closer to him frequently.]

(Yes, Qiqi is really smart.)
