Title: The Villainess Female Supporting Character Raising Her Bun
Translator: Fringe Capybara
Chapter 7 - Two Eggs (2)
The male lead was a workaholic who hated being disturbed while he was working. He completely ignored the female supporting character and had security throw her out.
The female supporting character, after being thrown out, was convinced that what she had heard was true. She had already seen what life was like in a prominent family and refused to go back to her regular life. She thought about it for a while and came up with another idea.
The child was young and not of the best of health. The female supporting character would keep him and get sick intentionally and always asked the male lead to go visit him.
She didn’t have a lot of feelings toward her child and was only using him as a tool. She kept the child ill in order to continue getting closed to the male lead.
The child was fragile from the beginning so a common cold escalated into serious pneumonia. When the male lead realized that something was wrong and brought the child to the hospital it was already too late. The child had suffered organ failure and died on the surgical table.
That’s why Cheng Huan had given up on reading the book. She understood that the author needed to get rid of all obstacles between the male and female leads, but she didn’t care for her achieving that by treating a child that way, albeit doing it through the hands of the female supporting character.
Comparing her memories with the story bit by bit, Cheng Huan was certain that her earlier speculation was correct.
There was a part in the story when the female supporting character brought the kid over and before the result from the DNA analysis was out, Mother Jiang was certain the boy was her grandchild from the birthmark alone.
In Mother Jiang’s words, the kid looked like a clone of her son when he was a child, and they even have the same birthmark at the same spot. He must be her grandson.
Cheng Huan wasn’t too affected by the confirmation that she had transmigrated into a character in a book.
The whole transmigration was metaphysical enough. It didn’t really matter whether she had transmigrated into another individual or a character in a book. At the end of the day, she’d have to go on.
The original owner was in the habit of relying on others, but Cheng Huan did not have that habit. In her own world, she was able to buy her own house at a tier 2 city five years after her graduation relying on nobody else but herself.
She even considered having a child with the help of a sperm bank. Well, now that she has an instant child, she could skip that step too.
Cheng Huan opened up the lid on the pot and added some cold water inside. Looking on the bright side, this was not entirely bad.
Whether it was for her or for the child.
The ingredients she had on hand were very limited, so Cheng Huan was only able to make a bowl of noodles plus the two eggs, but with her years of cooking experience, nothing she made could taste too bad.
She wasn’t sure what XingXing liked, so she prepared the two eggs differently – one was sunny side up and the other easy over.
The sunny side up one was a perfect oval shape with the egg white in a thin layer with a hint of gold. The egg yolk was right smacked in the center of it all. Its rim was a darker color and the color lightened up progressively as it got more and more towards the middle. Through the thin layer of membrane, one could almost see the egg yolk churning inside slowly.
The easy over wasn’t as pretty in its look, but both sides were golden brown and radiating an irresistible aroma.
Placing the two eggs on top, Cheng Huan carried the bowl into the bedroom.
XingXing was sitting in bed facing the door with the bath towel over his stomach. When he saw her, the little kiddo jumped right up, forgetting even to hold onto the towel.
“Mom!” Butt naked, he ran over to Cheng Huan. Staring at the content in the bowl, he gulped and said, “It smells so good!”
“You must be hungry. Food is ready.”
Cheng Huan placed the bowl onto the table, cleared out some space, picked the little kid up, and placed him on the chair.
“Okay, you can eat now.”
The little kiddo did not move after she had said that. Grabbing the spoon awkwardly, he picked up a few strands of noodles, looked up at Cheng Huan, and said, “Mom, you eat.”
Cheng Huan stroked him on his head and said, “Mom ate already. XingXing should have some.”
The original owner had attended a banquet and had already eaten. She took her anger out on the child after she had gone home and let him go hungry on purpose.
Recalling the content and the ending of the novel, Cheng Huan felt even more tender affection toward the child. She picked up the pair of chopsticks, pinched off a small piece of the egg, and fed it to him.
“Is it good?”
“Yes!”
The little kid was drooling as he ate. He squinted his eyes happily and smiled at Cheng Huan like a little fool.
“Mom.”
“Yeah?” Cheng Huan took over the duty of feeding him and picked up a few strands of noodles to feed to him.
XingXing just smiled at her. He finished the noodles in his mouth and called out to her again, “Mom.”
“I am right here.”
The two of them carried on the feeding and eating task. Every time XingXing finished a mouthful of food he’d call her again, and Cheng Huan responded to him every time without any impatient feelings.
……
XingXing was full after half a bowl of noodles. He jumped onto the floor in his bare feet and threw his arms around one of Cheng Huan’s legs.
“Mommy.” He looked up. “I am so happy!”
