Transmigrated as the male lead's roommate's vicious girlfriend

The midday sun streamed through the café's high windows, while the noise from the street was blocked out by double-glazed windows.

Looking up, you can see the lush green branches outside the window.

Inside the café, there was a tranquil summer atmosphere.

Wan Shuang sat in the booth by the window and did not speak immediately.

Her gaze fell lightly on Ning Xi's face opposite her: "Miss Ning, I'm sorry to disturb your lunch break."

Ning Xi looked at the woman who had invited her out of the theater half an hour earlier.

The woman knew her name was Ning Xi, but she knew nothing about her.

She had a hunch that the woman might have some connection with He Kezhou.

The original owner's social circle wouldn't have allowed her to meet someone like her.

Wan Shuang looked up and took off her mask.

The moment Ning Xi looked up, she saw her facial features clearly.

The woman wore a refined and elegant silk dress with exquisite tailoring. Her black hair cascaded down her shoulders, her skin was as white as porcelain, and a faint smile played on her lips. Her eyes were full of tenderness, and a warm and gentle feeling emanated from her.

She was stunned for a few seconds by that beautiful face.

His guard was inexplicably relaxed when she looked at him earnestly with her gentle and quiet eyes.

Wan Shuang seemed to have long been accustomed to the impact her beauty had on people.

As Ning Xi stared at her in a daze, she was also sizing her up.

When she first saw Ning Xi, she didn't feel much excitement.

The woman was about the same age as her, wearing a minimalist off-white loose and lightweight shirt and matching trousers. The outfit was relaxed and clean, without any cinching or deliberate design. The simple style accentuated her slender figure and well-proportioned body, and her overall aura made people want to take a second look.

Her bright and sweet eyes were as clean as a refreshing summer breeze.

Ning Xi is a beautiful and eye-catching person among ordinary people.

But her beauty lacked the wow factor for those of them who were used to seeing all kinds of stunning beauties.

It is a man who, having seen a dazzling array of things and tasted all the rich flavors, finds himself longing for the simple and plain tastes.

Women like this are the kind of women that men find interesting.

However, it is difficult to keep a man for long.

In Ning Xi's eyes, Wan Shuang saw a woman who was excessively clear-headed and independent.

Such a person is very resilient and has their own bottom line and rules.

They don't fawn, they don't show weakness, and they don't try to please others. It's a rare, vibrant, and pure quality.

The Ning Xi in the information and the person sitting in front of her now seemed like different people to Wan Shuang.

She felt a little surprised, but also understood why he treated her differently.

She went to the car dealership last night.

They stayed in the shadows until they finished their barbecue.

She saw Ning Xi and He Kezhou at the barbecue restaurant. He stayed close by, his gaze fixed on her.

She had never seen him look at a woman with such indulgent, helpless, and heartfelt eyes.

The eyes of someone you like don't lie.

A body that constantly wants to get close can also be very honest.

Wan Shuang composed herself and said, "Miss Ning, you are very beautiful."

Ning Xi was silent for a few seconds after being praised for her beauty by a woman whose beauty overshadowed everything around her.

"Thanks."

Ning Xi lightly pinched the flesh of her own leg with her fingertips, pulling herself away from the woman's face.

The face sitting in front of her is so captivating that you can't help but be drawn in and want to keep looking at her.

Even her every move is captivating.

Ning Xi lowered her long eyelashes and calmly said, "I think we don't know each other. You know where I work and you know my name."

She didn't say it explicitly, but she had someone investigate her.

Ning Xi's quietness and calmness made Wan Shuang realize that she was not entirely in control of the conversation.

Wan Shuang suppressed her surprise and placed a beautiful latte next to Ning Xi. "Miss Ning, we can chat while we drink coffee. I don't know what kind of coffee you like, so I ordered one of each. Please try them."

Ning Xi didn't look at the various coffees on the table, nor did she take the coffee that was handed to her. She looked down at her phone to check the time.

She has half an hour left before class.

Wan Shuang noticed her eagerness to leave, but a gentle smile remained on her lips, and her voice was warm and non-aggressive: "I am He Kezhou's fiancée, Wan Shuang."

Ning Xi gripped the phone tightly with her fingertips, her grip tightening instinctively.

She instinctively picked up her coffee, trying to hide her loss of composure and bewilderment.

Her fingers slipped, and the coffee spilled all over her clothes.

Wan Shuang immediately took out a tissue for her and bent down to wipe her face.

The sudden, gentle approach, along with the soft and pleasant scent of roses, made Ning Xi subconsciously get up from her seat, wanting to avoid it.

Wan Shuang lowered her eyes and gently wiped her clothes, her gaze earnest and tender.

Ning Xi's back tensed, and she gently pressed down on the hand that was holding the tissue to wipe her clothes. "Thank you... I can do it myself."

With deep apology in her eyes, Wan Shuang said, "Miss Ning, if you don't mind, I can exchange my dress for yours."

Ning Xi used a tissue to blot the coffee stains on her chest and stepped back a little: "It's almost wiped clean."

"Sorry, I didn't hold the coffee properly."

Wan Shuang saw the calmness in Ning Xi's eyes and the tightly sealed layer of aloofness and coldness, and was caught off guard when a crack was torn open.

His eyes revealed a panicked loss of composure and a blatant apology.

She interfered in someone else's relationship.

This was Ning Xi's first thought.

An indescribable sense of embarrassment spread through his veins, densely enveloping his limbs and bones.

Thinking of her intimate moments with He Kezhou, her stomach churned.

She covered her lips, suppressing the nausea in her heart.

The original book does not describe He Kezhou in detail, and it does not even mention that he has a fiancée.

Ning Xi lowered her head and vigorously wiped the coffee stains off her clothes.

My fingertips started to turn red.

Wan Shuang could clearly see that her eyelashes and fingertips were trembling slightly.

Ning Xi's reaction was not what she had expected.

She thought he would tell her that he loved her now.

She thought she would ask him.

According to the information found, Ning Xi did not know He Kezhou's true identity.

Why wasn't she surprised at all by her arrival?

Why wasn't she as concerned or curious about him as she seemed?

"Miss Ning, did I scare you?"

Ning Xi put down the tissue in her hand, suppressing the tightness in her chest, and her eyes regained their clear and rational gaze: "What is your purpose in contacting me?"

"If I had known he had a fiancée, I wouldn't have been with him."

The word "I'm sorry" stuck in Ning Xi's throat, choking her heart and causing a sharp, subtle pain.

Wan Shuang placed her palm on her lower abdomen and no longer politely addressed Ning Xi as "you" (formal).

She asked Ning Xi softly, "Aren't you curious about his identity?"

"You seem to have guessed that his identity is not simple."

In this sentence, Wan Shuang is using a declarative sentence.

Ning Xi remained silent for a long time.

Her throat tightened slightly as she explained to Wan Shuang, "I stayed by his side for some reasons. I never intended to interfere in anyone's relationship."

Ning Xi's originally steady breathing became labored after she said those words.

Wan Shuang's eyes shimmered with a gentle light, her tone soft and reassuring: "Miss Ning, my relationship with him isn't what you think. For some reasons, I can't tell you my identity or his, but please don't feel any burden being with him."

Ning Xi's overwhelming embarrassment and nausea suddenly froze, replaced by a blank, bewildered state.

The confusion in her eyes silenced Wan Shuang for a moment.

She looked into Ning Xi's clean, clear eyes: "I've been by his side for ten years, bearing the title of his fiancée, and receiving his protection for ten years. I thought I could move him and make him fall in love with me."

"He only saw me as a responsibility left to him by Grandma Ming. He never loved me."

Wan Shuang's voice was tinged with an unyielding melancholy, and subtle sadness seeped out with each word, entwining Ning Xi's mind in wisps and strands.

Suddenly, a strong, sour feeling surged up, blocking her heart and making her feel suffocated.

She didn't even know why she felt this way.

Wan Shuang took a sip of coffee, suppressed her emotions, and her face gradually paled: "More than three months ago, I made an unforgivable mistake to him."

"More than anyone else, I hope he can have a genuine relationship. If he can fall in love with someone, have ties and bonds, and learn to love someone, then Grandma Ming can rest easy."

Ning Xi snapped out of her reverie at her words.

Just then, Wan Shuang's bodyguard and a tall, unfamiliar man walked up to her side.

The stranger whispered two words in Wan Shuang's ear.

Wan Shuang maintained a faint smile on her face, but her originally fair and rosy lips had silently lost all color, turning a very pale white.
