The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Anning entered Rong Junhao’s room.

The moment she stepped in, she felt a strong gaze.

”Ningning, you’re here.”

Ms. Li was so excited, and there were still traces of tears on her face.

She grabbed Anning’s hand: ”Junhao woke up, he finally woke up.”

Anning smiled: ”Auntie, this is a happy occasion.”

”Yes, happy, happy.”

Ms. Li led Anning to Rong Junhao’s bedside, and Anning stood there with a perfectly warm smile, looking at Rong Junhao.

Rong Junhao was lying there, still unable to move much, but his eyes were open.

He looked at Anning almost greedily, opened his mouth, and was a bit unable to make a sound.

Ms. Li quickly gave him a small sip of water.

Only then did Rong Junhao make a sound from deep within his throat: ”Ningning.”

”Brother Junhao, you finally woke up.”

Anning smiled: ”Auntie has been worried about you every day for over a year, now that you’re awake, Auntie doesn’t have to be so anxious all the time. You should take good care of yourself, recover soon, and be good to Auntie.”

Rong Junhao responded with a hum, then looked at Anning and asked: ”How about you?”

”Me?” Anning smiled sweetly: ”Of course, I want you to recover soon. You wouldn’t believe how exhausting it is for me to manage Mrs. Rong’s affairs. Once you recover and take over, it’ll be much easier for me.”

”Okay.” Rong Junhao blinked.

Anning turned to Ms. Li: ”Auntie, Brother Junhao just woke up, he must be tired. Let him rest well.”

Ms. Li quickly agreed: ”Yes, yes, he should rest well.”

Anning tugged on Ms. Li to leave, but Rong Junhao became anxious. He mustered all his strength to grab Anning’s clothes: ”Don’t go.”

Anning was taken aback.

Ms. Li seemed to understand something and nudged Anning: ”Ningning, why don’t you stay with Junhao a bit. He just woke up and doesn’t know a lot. Talk to him, tell him about what’s happened over the past year. I’ll go get you something to eat.”

After she said that, she left. Anning wanted to leave too, but Rong Junhao held onto her clothes tightly, looking at her with pleading eyes.

Anning had no choice but to pull up a chair and sit down.

”Brother Junhao, you should rest well now. You need to recover soon.”

Anning softly said.

Rong Junhao didn’t speak, he just stared at Anning as if he could never get enough.

Anning sighed, took out her phone from her bag and checked it, then said to Rong Junhao: ”You rest, I’ll just sit here.”

Rong Junhao didn’t close his eyes, but he relaxed a lot.

Anning opened her phone and saw a message from Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan was asking how long she would wait before leaving.

Anning replied with a message and then started playing games while chatting with An Xin.

”Ningning, I found some suitable professional managers.”

An Xin reported her work situation to Anning.

Anning thought for a moment: ”Save the information first, it’s not needed now, but who knows about the future.”

”There’s something else.” An Xin reminded Anning.

”Go ahead.” Anning quickly passed a level in her game.

”The entertainment company Xiao Yuan signed with is actually under Mrs. Rong.” An Xin explained the situation she found: ”That agent is a relative of a shareholder of Mrs. Rong, that’s why he’s so reckless in mistreating his artists.”

Anning responded: ”I’ll go to Mrs. Rong tomorrow to cancel Xiao Yuan’s contract.”

She glanced at Rong Junhao: ”This matter needs to be resolved quickly.”

”What’s wrong?”

An Xin was a bit confused.

Anning explained: ”Rong Junhao is strange, his soul fluctuations are abnormal.”

”Be careful.” An Xin also felt worried: ”You and Xiao Yuan are not in the best condition right now, after passing through the time-space gap, both of you were affected. Your Divine Soul is a bit unstable now.”

”I know.” Anning smiled softly: ”But there’s no need to worry, I have you.”

An Xin immediately puffed out her chest with pride: ”Of course, with me here, you don’t need to worry, after all, I’m the best system next to the Main God.”

Seeing the smile on Anning’s face, Rong Junhao also managed to smile.

Being able to see Anning again, he felt like he could never get enough. He really wished he could spend his entire life together with Anning.

”Ningning.”

Rong Junhao called softly.

Anning looked up in response.

”It’s wonderful to see you when I open my eyes.” Rong Junhao tried hard to say such a long sentence: ”Always be together, okay?”

Anning’s smile faded.

She exited the game and put her phone away: ”Brother Junhao, there’s something you might not know yet. This morning, I already talked to Auntie about canceling the engagement. We exchanged back our family tokens, the engagement is void. We’ll only be friends from now on, we can’t be together.”

Anger flashed in Rong Junhao’s eyes, along with some panic.

”I’m awake, no, no cancellation.”

Anning shook her head: ”I don’t regret my decisions, the marriage is already canceled, there will be no more delays. Besides, we were only in a business engagement, there’s no necessity for us to be together. If we did marry, within a few years, we might become resentful, which would be bad for both our families. It’s better like this, once Brother Junhao recovers, he can find a truly likable good girl. I’ll... In the future, I will work on developing Mrs. Yun, and will find a husband who’s less career-oriented, one who can fit my schedule so we can live a peaceful life. This is better than forcing us together.”

Anning seriously shared her thoughts with Rong Junhao and smiled: ”By the way, there are some things at work I need to handle, I’ll come see you tomorrow, rest well.”

While speaking, Anning stood up and walked out.

Rong Junhao tried to grab her, but Anning easily avoided him, and he could only let go in defeat.

He watched Anning pushing the door open and walking out without hesitation, suffocated by a feeling of heaviness.

When Anning was going downstairs, she sent a message to Xiao Yuan. By the time she left the Rong family villa, Xiao Yuan was already in the car.

Anning got into the car, and while starting the engine, Xiao Yuan asked: ”How did it go?”

”He’s a bit strange.” Anning shook her head: ”His soul fluctuation is very abnormal, the Divine Soul is extraordinarily strong, not human-like. But the soul fluctuation matches him perfectly, unlike someone who’s soul-swapped. His expressions, speech, and habitual movements are still his own. If it’s rebirth, it’s unlikely. We can’t figure out what’s going on yet.”

Xiao Yuan pondered for a while, then spoke: ”I met Ning Ruoxi.”

”Oh.” Anning turned to Xiao Yuan: ”How is she?”

”She’s a good girl.” Xiao Yuan complimented someone for once: ”Very pure and kind-hearted, no malice.”

Anning nodded: ”Yes, she’s a girl that’s hard to dislike. Actually, in my past life, I didn’t know what happened between her and Rong Junhao before, but I’ve never hated her.”

Xiao Yuan freed one hand to pat Anning’s head: ”Take your time to figure it out.”
