I Refuse to be a Supporting Character Chapter 104

Chapter 104: Daughter-in-law

Gu Jin had a new understanding of her younger brother’s proud nature . It was easy to poke his defenseless and sensitive ego .

After hanging up, the only thing on her mind was the information she recalled about Gu Ling from the original novel . Based on the plot, Gu Ling had quietly snuck after Jing Hao . Although nothing major happened, her disgusting actions caused a rift between the original host and Cheng Xin .

However, the current Gu Jin had already broken ties with Cheng Xin completely . Whether it be their sisterhood or their partner’s lack of loyalty, there was nothing left to break apart . So Gu Jin was not at all worried about Gu Ling’s schemes .

Now that she thought back to those things, Gu Jin gave a sigh of relief . Thankfully, it was over . Playing along with that couple’s drama was no longer entertaining .

After closing her laptop, Gu Jin turned to the side and glanced at the box that Old Liu had given her .

What mysterious item could be packaged in it?

Driven by curiosity, she opened the box .

Then…

The corner of her lip twitched .

The 20-inch sided box was filled with all kinds of lipstick .

After taking a cursory glance… . she felt sorry for the sender .

In silence, Gu Jin picked up the attached note:

Mu Mingcheng: [Do you like my present?]

On the other end of the line, Mu Mingcheng had waited until now to send a text message . He estimated that Gu Jin should be awake right around now . She had been tired at her stay at YYY country, plus she suffered from jet lag on the way here, so she definitely needed a good long sleep .

[I like it…Thank you] Yes, she liked it very much, but with so many brands and colors of lipstick in her possession, it would take years before she uses all of them up .

It was quite surprising that someone as rich and prideful as President Mu was actually generous enough to attach a handwritten note to his gift .

Mu Mingcheng stared at her text message . Why does it feel like there was more meaning underneath that simple text she sent him?

On one hand, the reason why he gave Gu Jin a gift was to compensate her . That’s because the purpose of bringing her to his trip abroad was to take her out to play on the last two days overseas . But none of them expected an accident to show itself and erase all of their plans .

On the other hand, the gift was partly because of Mu Mingcheng’s selfishness . The person he likes should live lavishly and exquisitely, rather than nursing him without being able to do what she wanted .

He bent his lips and replied:

[Good! I’m glad you like it . ]

As Gu Jin lowered her phone, she inadvertently saw her reflection on the mirror; she didn’t know when it started but it seems that she had unconsciously been smiling all this time .

Her pupils trembled but she soon recovered her calm demeanor .

During the day, the relationship between the two of them flowed naturally as usual .

As it fades into darkness, the light kiss from that night surfaced in her memory like a dream . After dawn, it disappeared without a trace .

Things seemed to have become more complicated . Gu Jin put down her phone . She wanted to have a moment to think things through .

Mu Mingcheng waited for a while, but no further messages arrived from the other end .

He sat on the sofa in the living room when someone walked in .

Xu Jie brought over a plate of strawberries and was about to chat with her son who seemed preoccupied with his phone . As soon as she sat down, Mu Mingcheng stood up and had someone prepare his car to leave . “Ming Cheng, it’s getting dark . Where are you heading?”

“I’m going to pick up you daughter-in-law . ” Mu Mingcheng’s voice was light . “I may not come back later . ”

Xu Jie, who paused for a moment, recalled that her son’s assistant informed her earlier that he was going to send a gift over to their daughter-in-law .

Is their family’s emotionless stone finally meeting his spring? She didn’t know which fair daughter had the ability to win over her son’s favor .

With the Mu family’s influential standing, their children can’t just be married to just anybody nowadays, and Mu Mingcheng mustn’t be put in a disadvantage to others . She had to discuss with her husband about meeting their future daughter-in-law .
