Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 365 - 9: Sinister Laboratory (Part 9)

Wang Xiaoduo is clever, and she immediately realized her strategy had failed, but by this time, Bai Zihao was already not coming to her place as often.

Wang Xiaoduo became anxious. She had given Bai Zihao her most precious things, and now their affair was making waves everywhere. If Bai Zihao abandoned her, how would she live in the future?

The thought sent a shiver through Wang Xiaoduo’s entire body.

The family was now relying on her to get by, so what would she do without Bai Zihao?

Ever since she got together with Bai Zihao, she stopped working. Bai Zihao had given her many nice things, and she had grown somewhat accustomed to this lifestyle of joy.

Wang Xiaoduo called Bai Zihao, and this time she didn’t cry; instead, she timidly invited Bai Zihao over for dinner.

When Bai Zihao arrived, Wang Xiaoduo had already prepared the meal and was dressed in a maid outfit.

Bai Zihao’s eyes lit up. He took a few bites, but the taste wasn’t great. However, he didn’t really mind, as the meal wasn’t really about eating; wasn’t there something tastier right in front of him?

It didn’t take long for the man and woman to be entangled together.

Wang Xiaoduo and Bai Zihao became quite inseparable once more.

Moreover, Bai Zihao’s interest in exploring Wang Xiaoduo grew even more.

Wang Xiaoduo began occasionally pleasing Bai Zihao, even agreeing to positions she previously refused.

Originally, their relationship was equal, but now Wang Xiaoduo was evidently lowered by a tier.

That day, Li Shuning deliberately strolled near the Bai Group. When Bai Zihao came out, she stood where he could see her at first sight.

Li Shuning was wearing a white dress and carried herself gracefully. From a distance, she resembled a sprite fallen to the mortal world.

Bai Zihao was momentarily dazed when he saw her.

His car is usually brought to the company entrance at closing time, but strangely, Bai Zihao didn’t feel like getting in it this time.

After having the car parked in the surface lot, Bai Zihao walked towards Li Shuning.

"Miss Li, what a coincidence."

Li Shuning turned around and saw Bai Zihao. This guy had taken the bait; she had noticed earlier that there was something off in the way he looked at her.

"Oh, it’s Mr. Bai, what a coincidence." Li Shuning said with her lips, although her eyes showed some confusion.

It was this kind of look in Li Shuning’s eyes that drew someone in even more.

"Is Miss Li waiting for someone?"

Li Shuning blushed, looking a bit embarrassed: "I heard from Brother Shulin that there’s a café nearby with a very good dessert, and I wanted to try it, but I can’t seem to find it."

Bai Zihao only felt his heart suddenly skip a beat.

This woman’s blush was simply too vivid.

"Miss Li, are you referring to Yuan Coffee House?"

Li Shuning’s eyes lit up, and she nodded her little head: "Yes, does Mr. Bai also know about that café?"

Bai Zihao smiled: "Yes, the coffee there is quite rich. I like it a lot and was just thinking of going for a cup. How about joining me, Miss Li?"

Li Shuning hesitated, with some struggle in her eyes. It seemed the temptation of desserts was quite significant, and she finally nodded.

"Then I’ll trouble you, Mr. Bai."

"Miss Li, you’re too polite."

At the café, Bai Zihao ordered several desserts, and seeing the joyful sparkle in Li Shuning’s eyes, his heart unintentionally lifted as well.

"Is Miss Li staying at Brother Shuqi’s house?"

Li Shuning shook her head: "No, Brother Shuqi has a wife and can’t take me out to play. It isn’t convenient for my uncle and aunt either. Brother Shulin isn’t home, so my dad bought me a house so I can go out whenever I want."

"Oh, so Miss Li came to Yun City alone?"

"Yes, my dad is going abroad for an exchange, and my mom went with him. They were worried I’d be home alone, so they sent me to stay with my uncle for a while."

"By the way, Brother Shuqi didn’t introduce us last time. What’s your name?"

"I’m called Li Xiaoshu."

"Then I’ll call you Xiaoshu. You don’t have to call me Mr. Bai; just call me Zihao, okay, Xiaoshu?"

Li Shuning pretended to be shy and glanced at Bai Zihao furtively. Finally, she blushed and said: "Okay, Zihao."

The final sound so faint as to be like a mosquito, yet Bai Zihao found Li Xiaoshu even more adorable for it.

Watching Li Xiaoshu’s every move, it was clear she had received a good education, or else she wouldn’t possess such grace.

Bai Zihao couldn’t help but think of Wang Xiaoduo.

Wang Xiaoduo was also very cute, but when compared with Li Xiaoshu, it was startling to realize how crass Wang Xiaoduo appeared in her every action, from eating to walking.

The supervisor seemed to be on a date; the lady was so beautiful and elegant.

Since the café was close to the Bai Group, there were naturally people who noticed them.

One person even secretly photographed them and posted the photos on social media.

In just a few days, people at the company began discussing who the female lead was.

One day, when Wang Xiaoduo went to find Bai Zihao, he was busy, so she sat down to rest. Feeling a bit thirsty, she went to the break room to get some water.

A few pretty female employees were sitting in the break room, sipping water and gossiping. When they saw Wang Xiaoduo come in, they glanced at her and continued chatting.

"Hey, do you think the girl with the eldest son at the banquet was just a fling?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Didn’t you see? A few days ago, Xiao Yang from HR secretly took photos of the eldest son having a date with a beautiful woman who had great poise. The girl seemed really pretty and had great class too."

"It’s possible, isn’t it? The eldest son used to be engaged, but now he’s a free man. Getting a girlfriend should be easy."

Those people continued to discuss whom the eldest son liked and what type he was into, but Wang Xiaoduo’s face turned pale. She quickly drank some water and returned to Bai Zihao’s office.

It wasn’t her first time here, but those people pretended not to know her, speaking so she would hear them.

Has Bai Zihao got a new girlfriend?

Wang Xiaoduo only felt her heart breaking to pieces.

But she knew Bai Zihao didn’t like it when she cried, so she forced herself to hold it in. She couldn’t lose her composure; she couldn’t lose Zihao.

After over an hour, Bai Zihao returned from a meeting. Seeing Wang Xiaoduo, he showed no surprise, no smile, seemed even a bit annoyed.

"Xiaoduo, why are you here? Is something up?"

Wang Xiaoduo forced a smile: "Zihao, am I bothering you? I was hoping to ask you out for dinner."

Bai Zihao checked his watch and saw it was already past four. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Earlier, after eating with Li Xiaoshu at the café, he had taken her home, knowing where she lived.

Li Xiaoshu had mentioned that she would cook dinner herself today to thank him for the dessert, inviting him over.

Now that Wang Xiaoduo was here, how could he go?

Bringing her along? That was definitely not an option.
