I Refuse to Be a Supporting Character

Chapter 36-37

Chapter 36: Shao Chong's Dilemma

Just a few days ago Gu Jin said he wanted to break up with her in the apartment downstairs.

His expression was solemn as he said every word. However, her secret was revealed shamefully and she just wanted to escape the scene.

Later that day, he assumed that his rejection of her was merely a ploy to try to attract her attention, so he decided to put the matter aside and let go of the attempt to try to persuade her.

It was because Gu Jin's personality was too convincing; he was gentle and graceful, adhering to traditional values, and wholeheartedly yearning for love and marriage.

Basically, a person has a relationship with a person they know.

He especially liked Shao Chong.

In that case, if there is a woman wholeheartedly dedicated to you, there is no need to worry about the fire in her backyard, as long as she satisfies the desires of her heart.

Cheng Xin rejected him, and even though she liked him, she couldn't risk offending the Jing family, so she let go.

Meanwhile, Gu Jin said he liked her, so why did she take the initiative to break up?

Regardless of family history or personality or appearance, Gu Jin was only adapted for the role of a wealthy wife and family mother.

He was born into a family of scholars, with wise parents and a proud but talented younger brother. Among the hordes of stingray entrepreneurs, Gu Jin had a refined and dazzling appearance.

More importantly, Shao Chong's parents didn't know he had a girlfriend. After quietly investigating Gu Jin's background, they were satisfied with Shao Chong's once-in-a-lifetime vision.

It could be said that the Shao family treated Gu Jin as Shao Chong's wife.

Shao Chong naturally did not want to let go.

“Gu Jin, if you are not happy with me then I promise to keep my distance from Cheng Xin,” he said by phone. “But I don't care what your boyfriend calls this. Whoever he is, better he stay away.”.

Before he finished speaking, Gu Jin hung up the phone.

He repeatedly massaged his temple. How had he in the past not seen Shao Chong's potential as a rampaging emperor?

However, he needed the ability to evict Jing Hao from the imperial capital to quit his role as the supporting male lead!

It was late, and after answering the phone, Gu Jin felt a little annoyed. After turning her back on the bed, she went to the kitchen to boil the red mushroom porridge.

Gu Jin was feeling calm and carefree at the moment, but Shao Chong was in a state of panic.

He had to meet Gu Jin.

It was still his company's business hours, but he took his car keys, stood up, and walked out.

But suddenly he stood up causing him to feel dizzy for a moment...

Cheng Xin's class in the morning. When he returned, Gu Jin was eating his porridge.

“Gu Jin, since when can you cook?” He took out a spoonful of porridge and put it in his mouth which slid down deliciously, and he inevitably took the bowl for himself.

“I have no busyness, so I learned it myself.” Gu Jin smiled.

Gu Jin, like Cheng Xin, grew spoiled like a pet. With the tradition of the Gu family, even his mother, Li Mingxia had never worked in the kitchen. The previous host never had to cook for himself, so the apartment kitchen has remained only as a decoration for the past three years.

...****************...

When Gu Jin was currently crossing over, he would buy some ingredients and occasionally cook porridge.

“Excellent,” Cheng Xin said with a bright look in her eyes. She laughed at herself: “I wanted to cook some dishes for Jing Hao last time, and I almost burned the kitchen.”

Cooking for a loved one is a great achievement.

It's just porridge, isn't it?

The fact that Cheng Xin looked at her cooking as if she had discovered a new continent caused Gu Jin to almost mistake himself for a Michelin chef.

Maybe Jing Hao just spouted random words to encourage his girlfriend to cook.

After all, the male protagonist would eventually have to swallow the blackened food.

Cheng Xin focused on tidying up her things then prepared to go outside. Before he left, he patted his head. “By the way, Gu Jin, Jing Hao's sister, Jing Ruo, has returned. The Jing Family will be throwing a party in three days. Don't forget to come and join us.”

“No, I won't have anything to do with them. Better I don't go,” Gu Jin refused without hesitation.

What a joke, she didn't plan on being the female protagonist's backer against her rival Jing Ruo. Did Cheng Xin want to bring Gu Jin along just so that her graceful and innocent cousin could form a contrast and make the presence of the female protagonist herself shine?

Moreover, if Jing Ruo was considered a rival woman in the original book, dealing with her would not yield good results. A woman's interest in her older brother, the male protagonist, borders on obsession.

Gu Jin did not want to provoke such a madman.

“Why did you say that? You are the best sister I have; of course your presence matters,” Cheng Xin has no idea what she is thinking. “Just go and help me build my confidence, you have no idea how annoying little sister Jing Hao.” is

Gu Jin did not want to budge. Cheng Xin played her trump card and said, “Gu Jin, if you don't come with me then I will tell my aunt.”

“Good.” Gu Jin rubbed his brows tiredly.

Although Gu's mother would definitely choose her daughter over her niece, Cheng Xin's mother was the only relative of her mother's family. If the last generation of two sisters were exiled from each other, he would feel uneasy.

Gu Jin did not want his own mother to feel ashamed.

Ever since he crossed over to this world, he had tried his best to stay away from the plot. His relationship with the female protagonist slowly shrank, so it had been a long time since they had gathered together.

However, Cheng Xin's constant thoughts about Jing Hao caused her to completely miss Gu Jin's intention to keep her distance from him.

But Gu Jin remained optimistic. By the way, according to the development of the plot, Cheng Xin would not have the free time to disturb him.

But this won't happen until roughly a year, because deep feelings need to be melted down by time.

Almost six o'clock, as Gu Jing walked out the classroom door, a message came from Mu Mingcheng.

“Wait at school, I'll pick you up at the school gate.”

Simple and clear, just like the person.

Gu Jin felt a hint of guilt upon seeing the message. Yesterday, when he got home, he threw the suit into the coat rack and called the laundry in the afternoon.

Such expensive clothes could only be washed by a professional laundry, and he still had to damage his belongings.

Gu Jin pretended not to see the message and held the off button. The phone beeped and the screen went dark.

He lifted the umbrella with a satisfied look, and walked out of the school gate.
