Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 120

Soon, the crew quickly figured out the cause—it was the pyrotechnician’s negligence that led to the accident.

The staff involved and the follow-up matters were handled by the relevant people, while Sheng Nuan and a few others who were almost injured were arranged to go back to the hotel to rest.

Hou Xin came over and confirmed with each actor and crew member that no one was hurt before finally letting out a sigh of relief. He knew that it was thanks to Sheng Nuan’s timely rescue of the two people trapped, which prevented further disaster. He didn’t make a big deal out of it in front of everyone but instead gave Sheng Nuan a pat on the shoulder.

Meanwhile, in Han Che’s dressing room, Su Nian stood in front of him with red-rimmed eyes. “Are you okay?”

Han Che lowered his gaze and shook his head. “I’m fine.”

Su Nian took a step closer, about to say something, but Han Che instinctively took half a step back. Both of them were surprised. Yet, Han Che remained silent.

In a soft voice, Su Nian spoke, “Thank you for saving me earlier. I… I was too scared at that time. I’m sorry… A’Che, I know you blame me, and that’s okay. It was my fault in the first place.”

In the past, if Han Che had seen Su Nian’s tearful and pitiful appearance, he would have been completely heartbroken.

But now, looking at Su Nian’s soft, sorrowful expression, he couldn’t help but think of the calm and indifferent look in her eyes when she left him in the fire… That calmness made his heart feel uncontrollably cold.

He was indeed willing to save her, but what he couldn’t accept was how calm and indifferent she had been when she chose to leave him behind.

It made him feel like, in her eyes, he wasn’t worth anything… and that his actions earlier were nothing but a joke.

By the time Sheng Nuan returned to the hotel, it was almost dark. The production team had already released a public statement, informing the public that due to staff oversight, an accident had occurred on set. Fortunately, no one was injured, and they apologized to those who had been frightened by the incident…

Sheng Nuan glanced at the statement but didn’t pay much attention to it. She tidied up, washed up, and put on a face mask.

At the same time, across the hall from Sheng Nuan’s room, Han Che sat on the sofa, torn about what to do. After a long internal struggle, he finally decided to go thank her.

No matter what, it was a fact that Sheng Nuan had saved him.

But when he thought about the constant friction between him and Sheng Nuan over the past few days, and how they always ended up bickering, both openly and subtly, every time they met, Han Che couldn’t help but feel a bit frustrated.

He wondered if that woman would mock him again when they met.

This time, he was going to thank her. People don’t hit a smiling face, right? She shouldn’t be that crazy…

Han Che stepped out of his room, determined to knock on Sheng Nuan’s door in one go. But just as he knocked on the door, he suddenly noticed his reflection in the door lock—he was wearing a bathrobe.

He’d been so caught up in his dilemma that he forgot to change…

Cursing under his breath, Han Che turned around to head back and change, but just at that moment, he heard the soft click of his room door locking behind him as the wind blew it shut.

He hadn’t brought his keycard…

At the same time, voices could be heard not too far away.

Han Che’s first reaction was to squat down quickly.

If someone saw him like this, knocking on a female actor’s door, it would definitely make the trending searches… Just as he quickly squatted down, there was a soft click, and Sheng Nuan’s door opened.

Han Che stiffly looked up. “If I said this was just a misunderstanding… Ah—”

He was cut off as Sheng Nuan kicked him square in the face, sending him sprawling onto the hallway carpet with a thud.

Thankfully, the carpet was thick…

Clutching his face, Han Che scrambled to his feet, furious. “Are you trying to kill someone?”

A little distance away, two crew members stood, staring at the scene in bewilderment…

A moment later, Han Che found himself sitting in a chair in Sheng Nuan’s room, wrapped in a bathrobe with a numb face… because Sheng Nuan had said he wasn’t worthy of sitting on the sofa.

“I just came to say thank you. Did you really have to kick me that hard?” Han Che clutched his face, his eyes filled with despair.

He was starting to think that his fate clashed with Sheng Nuan’s.

Sheng Nuan tossed him a bottle of cold water and raised an eyebrow with a mocking smile. “You should be grateful I wasn’t wearing shoes…”

Han Che blinked, suddenly recalling the sensation when she’d kicked him—surprisingly soft.

What nonsense was he thinking about… Han Che snapped out of it with a shudder and quickly thanked Sheng Nuan.

But before he could finish the speech he’d prepared in his mind, Sheng Nuan interrupted impatiently. “Alright, no need to thank me. Even if it were just a cat or dog in danger, I’d save them if I could. Not to mention, you’re at least a human being.”

By the time Sheng Nuan disdainfully kicked him out, Han Che was still in a daze.

What did she mean by “at least a human being”?

Was he almost disqualified from being considered human?

How could there be a woman this infuriating in the world… What kind of peculiar taste did Fu Yunxi have to be with a woman like her? Does he think he has lived too long?

After Han Che left, Sheng Nuan lay down on her bed, ready to scroll through her phone. Before long, there was another knock at the door.

She wondered who it could be when she heard customer service’s voice faintly say, “The financial sponsor is here.”

Fu Yunxi?

Sheng Nuan was momentarily stunned… Why had he come?

She got out of bed and opened the door. Before she could even pretend to be surprised, Fu Yunxi had already stepped inside, closed the door behind him, and pulled her close, looking her up and down several times.

After confirming that Sheng Nuan wasn’t hurt, he let out an almost imperceptible sigh of relief, then said angrily, “Alright, enough with this lousy production. Let’s go home.”

With that, he tried to pull Sheng Nuan toward the door.

Sheng Nuan was taken aback at first but then couldn’t help laughing. She tugged him back and said helplessly. “It was just an accident. I didn’t get hurt.”

Before Fu Yunxi could argue, she quickly changed the subject, smiling as she asked, “Why did you come here? You came so quickly. Did you rush over as soon as you saw the crew’s announcement?”

Fu Yunxi’s expression stiffened slightly, and he looked away, coughing lightly. “Don’t flatter yourself. I just had nothing better to do…”

At that moment, seeing Fu Yunxi’s reaction, Sheng Nuan fell silent.

Originally, she had planned to be with Fu Yunxi just like in the original plot, partly with the intention of getting back at him on behalf of the original host and intending to give him a hard time.

But after spending so much time with him, she realized that, truthfully, Fu Yunxi wasn’t that terrible… She began to feel like her actions were kind of pointless.

Sheng Nuan didn’t say anything for a while, and Fu Yunxi started to regret his words.

Had he spoken too harshly just now? She’d just been through a scare. A few comforting words wouldn’t have hurt.

Clearing his throat, Fu Yunxi tentatively asked, “Hey, are you angry?”

Sheng Nuan smiled. “No.”

Fu Yunxi didn’t believe it. “Then why did you stop talking…”

Sheng Nuan paused. “Maybe I’m just tired from filming.”

Fu Yunxi raised an eyebrow. “Then stop filming… Why work so hard to earn three melons and two dates¹?”

Sheng Nuan couldn’t laugh or cry. “Yes, yes, it doesn’t compare to you, President Fu, who makes money hand over fist every day, the diamond bachelor…”

The familiar sharp tongue and mischievous demeanor made Fu Yunxi grit his teeth inwardly, but at the same time, he felt a tickling sensation in his heart.

Without saying a word, he pulled her into his arms and leaned down to kiss her.

Maybe it was because they were still at the set, but Fu Yunxi was relatively restrained. After one kiss, he took Sheng Nuan to wash up, and afterward, he directly held her as they lay down on the bed.

Fu Yunxi had a hard time sleeping whenever he was in a different place, but holding the soft body in his arms, he fell asleep quickly.

Before dawn the next morning, Sheng Nuan had to get up for makeup, and Fu Yunxi got up with her to leave the set.

And that morning, the first scene to be filmed was the showdown between Sheng Nuan and Su Nian…

1. three melons and two dates – meager gains, because melons and dates are considered common, relatively low-value fruits. ↵
