Names mentioned in this chapter (which can also be found in the glossary ):

-云舒( yún shū)- Yun Shu, the female lead

– 傅然( Fù rán)- Fu Ran, the male lead in our novel and the original novel

– 乔颜( qiáo yán)- Qiao Yan, the female protagonist of the original novel.

After such a big event occurred, the original schedule naturally had to be cancelled. Yun Shu called David Zhang to let him help her to inform the film crew.

“You are an actress?” Fu Ran suddenly asked.

When he turned on the television in the morning, it happened to be broadcasting the very drama that Yun Shu had acted in. A drama in which she was still a flower vase [1] without many scenes. However, the keen man still noticed the flash of her scenes. Furthermore, she had said something about the set, leading the man to naturally come to this conclusion.

Then, he inevitably associated with his wife. Oh, soon to be ex-wife.

Some fragments flashed in his mind, causing Fu Ran to frown.

Yun Shu saw it and asked curiously, “You don’t like actresses?”

Fu Ran truthfully said, “Although I know it’s not good to generalise, I really don’t have a good feeling about this profession because of a certain person.”

“Why?” Yun Shu subconsciously asked further. Then, she realised that this Fu Ran, in front of her, was not her Fu Ran. She fidgeted with her fingers and said, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have asked so much.”

Fu Ran pursed his lips. The gloominess in his heart intensified. “It’s nothing. I can tell you.”

Then, Fu Ran told all about his terrible marriage, which he had never told anyone before.

He didn’t know why he did it, maybe because this wasn’t his world, or maybe because… Fu Ran looked at Yun Shu and lowered his eyes before noticing his gaze.

“You were being urged by my family to get married, and then you married through an agreement?” Yun Shu’s eyes widened in disbelief. “The Fu Ran I know is not such an easy compromiser.”

This Fu Ran was actually very similar to her Fu Ran. Talking to him felt like she returned to the time when she first met Fu Ran, except that the one in front of her was a little gloomier than her Fu Ran.

It was probably due to his marriage.

Fu Ran thought about it and replied, “I don’t know why. Maybe my brain short-circuited at that time. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have agreed to enter into a marriage by agreement with Qiao Yan.”

“Qiao Yan!” Yun Shu was so shocked that she almost sprang up.

“You know her?”

“Of course.”

Yun Shu was in a trance for a moment. Then, she thought. This Fu Ran couldn’t be the Fu Ran in the original novel world, right? But this Fu Ran did not have any feelings for Qiao Yan. They were even parties to marriage by agreement and whatnot. However, other than that, the rest of it seems to be like the original.

Fu Ran was so sharp and immediately asked her, “You know what’s going on, right?”

Yun Shu blinked. She struggled for a moment and told the novel and how she transmigrated into the novel.

—She confessed this matter with her Fu Ran long before she got married, so it wasn’t much different to do the same with this Fu Ran.

Fu Ran looked pensive. So that is how it is…

And then his eyes immediately became stern. So what if it could even manipulate him into agreeing to the marriage? If he does not like her, he wouldn’t. No matter how it is, he won’t like her!

The thought of him and his family became so wretched because God wanted him to go through this damn plot. He couldn’t suppress the ruthlessness in his heart. He wants to…

“Fu Ran?”

Fu Ran snapped out of it and saw the little girl looking at him with concern. His heart filled with ruthlessness immediately dissipated all at once.

For some reason, he said, “I don’t like Qiao Yan. Regardless of what happened, I would not like Qiao Yan. I don’t have the slightest liking for her even though we are married, and I have gotten along with her for almost a year. ”

Yun Shu was stunned, and then her eyes slowly widened.

Fu Ran said, “There is also Qiao Yan in your world, right? But, don’t worry, I believe the other me won’t like Qiao Yan in any way~.”

With a radiant smile, Yun Shu said, “I already knew this~”

Fu Ran couldn’t help but smile as well. He said silently in his heart: If only you existed in that world of mine.

He felt that if he also met Yun Shu, he would certainly also uncontrollably fall in love with this girl.

Fu Ran felt very jealous of this world’s Fu Ran, who shared the same family background and experiences. How come he is so lucky to meet this girl, Yun Shu?

He suddenly wanted to stay in this world, but it was just a thought. He didn’t want Yun Shu to be sad, and reality did not allow it. He said, “Don’t worry, your Fu Ran will be back soon.”

Fu Ran was right. Yun Shu’s Fu Ran did come back soon.

On that very night, when Fu Ran was sleeping in another room, he suddenly opened his eyes and ran back to their bedroom. He tightly hugged Yun Shu, who was silently crying under the covers.

“Be good, Shu Shu. I’m back.”

The person she loved the most was back. So how could Yun Shu hold back? She bawled her eyes out.

After finally calming her down, Fu Ran’s first question was—

“Shu Shu, he didn’t do anything to you, did he?”

— He knows himself best. He knows that Fu Ran will certainly also like his Shu Shu.

Yun Shu said foolishly, “Nope. But… But I gave him a kiss when I didn’t recognise him.”

Fu Ran’s face darkened.

— If he knew earlier, why must he worry for him?!

But thinking about the results of his investigations, he could not help but let out a sigh of relief.

— Heh. Unlucky people deserve to be single for life. It will be the best for him to envy me to death!

**********

Fu Ran returned to his world and couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

Then, he saw the investigation report on the table, which showed that no girl named “Yun Shu” was found and met the requirements.

Fu Ran put down the document and smiled in a self-mocking manner.

— Sure enough, he is not that lucky.

……

Ten days later.

After the divorce was finally settled and this news was announced, Fu Ran began to immerse himself in work. However, perhaps the Heavens did not let him idle for a while; he received a phone call from his paternal grandfather not long after. His grandfather said he should take care of his old friend’s granddaughter, who had just returned to the country and let her join his company.

Fu Ran originally wanted to refuse, but he agreed after thinking of the trouble he caused to his family some time ago.

He asked in passing, “What’s her name?”

“Ning… Ning what Shu, I think.”

As he was talking, Xu Hao led a girl into the room.

“Hello, President Fu. I am the newly appointed assistant to the President, Ning Yun Shu. Please take care of me.”

Fu Ran’s Adam apple bopped and squeezed out the word “alright” with much difficulty.

— In the end, the Heavens still care for their male lead.

The author has something to say : I can’t believe that I actually squeezed out 4100+ words for the extra. _(:з)∠)_

The trope of a parallel universe was when I read a novel. I think it’s quite suitable for this novel. I hope you like it～.
