Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 131

When Sheng Nuan returned home from the set, she saw the gossip circulating online and was left speechless.

Netizens really have too much free time. Even when there are no melons, they have to bring a microscope to find some to eat…

Xing Ke went to visit her on set, and it just so happened that she had finished filming her scenes recently. Additionally, her song ‘The Ultimate Battleground’ had been selected as the theme song for the finals of ‘Assassin’s League’, and she needed to go to A Country for the recording, so she caught a ride with Xing Ke.

And now, they were supposedly falling in love? This was really too sloppy…

Sheng Nuan called Xing Ke to discuss posting a clarification. After all, he had only come to visit her on set and was being dragged into this. She was worried it might come across as rude if she clarified things on her own.

Hearing her concerns, Xing Ke paused briefly, then chuckled lightly, “Actually, it’s okay not to clarify. I don’t mind having some rumors with you.”

Although he didn’t say it outright, the hint in his tone was clear.

Sheng Nuan was silent for a moment before smiling lightly and explaining, “I don’t want to have rumors with an ordinary friend. It makes me seem too frivolous…”

Customer service beeped softly: Isn’t that the case? If you’re not ready to fall for each other emotionally, you could always start with something more physical.

Sheng Nuan: ……

Xing Ke sighed, “Alright then, I’ll clarify it.”

He then asked, “Are you really not going to consider me?”

Sheng Nuan smiled, “No, let’s just stay as friends.”

Xing Ke paused, “Oh, well then, I’ll ask again next time…”

Soon after, Xing Ke posted a clarification, stating that they were just ordinary friends and asked everyone not to read too much into it.

Sheng Nuan also retweeted his clarification, and while she was at it, she used the opportunity to boost some attention for her upcoming qualifying match in a few days…

That evening, after putting on a face mask and getting into bed to sleep early, she had barely laid down when customer service popped up.

Customer service: “Host, Fu Yunxi is downstairs outside your building…”

Sheng Nuan raised an eyebrow but continued putting on her sleep mask.

Ignored.

Fu Yunxi had been busy simultaneously suppressing the companies of the Su and Zhao families. Although the companies weren’t large, handling the affairs of several businesses at once was no easy task. After dealing with the related matters as quickly as possible, he drove straight to the area outside Sheng Nuan’s apartment complex.

But after parking, he realized that perhaps he shouldn’t have come tonight…

She had a flight to catch the next day and needed proper rest.

Because of him, this incident had a very negative impact on her, and he felt that he should at least wait until she returned to approach her… But as soon as he thought of Xing Ke visiting her on set, Sima Zhao’s heart was clear for all to see¹, and Fu Yunxi simply couldn’t steady himself.

He didn’t call Sheng Nuan, nor did he leave. Instead, he got out of the car, leaned against it, and smoked, quietly watching the lights of the high-rise buildings inside the complex.

He didn’t even know which one was her apartment.

It was at that moment that Fu Yunxi finally had time to calm down and think clearly about his relationship with Sheng Nuan…

“Host, Fu Yunxi has been downstairs for more than an hour.”

Sheng Nuan was speechless. “You’re really nosy.”

Customer service sulkily replied: “I was just casually mentioning it…”

Sheng Nuan didn’t want to respond, but after a while, she sat up in bed, feeling a bit annoyed. “Is he still there?”

Customer service coughed lightly: “Yes…”

What’s wrong with this guy? Staying up late at night, standing outside someone’s complex, not even making a call. Is he waiting for Chu Yuxun² or something?

After a moment, Sheng Nuan got up, put on a fuzzy coat, and headed downstairs out of the complex…

Fu Yunxi was still smoking, with cigarette butts scattered at his feet. Just then, he saw a figure approaching the entrance of the complex.

When he recognized who it was, he froze. Subconsciously, he stubbed out his cigarette on the car and stood up straight.

Sheng Nuan stopped in front of him, looking a little exasperated. “Why didn’t you call me?”

Fu Yunxi’s eyelashes trembled, and he whispered, “I didn’t want to disturb your rest…”

Sheng Nuan sighed helplessly, “Well, since you’re here, go ahead, what did you come for?”

Fu Yunxi lowered his eyes and said nothing. Just as Sheng Nuan was about to speak again, he suddenly lifted his head, his eyes slightly red, and said slowly and firmly, “About what you said, wanting to break up. I don’t agree.”

Sheng Nuan smiled, “You don’t agree? Then what? Should I continue being your little lover?”

Fu Yunxi gritted his teeth, “Sheng Nuan, speak with your conscience. Have I really only treated you as a lover all this time? Who would treat a lover like an ancestor…”

“You casually kicked me out of bed, and did I ever say a harsh word to you? You treated me like your grandson because of the scandal, and how did I respond? Sheng Nuan… speak with your conscience!”

Fu Yunxi’s eyes were red.

Sheng Nuan quietly looked at him, smiled softly, and said in a gentle voice, “But no matter what, it doesn’t change the fact that, to you, I’m still just a mistress, does it?”

Fu Yunxi grew anxious. “Then you should have told me! I’ve never been in a relationship before, and I know I’m a bit slow when it comes to emotions, but… you can’t just say you want to break up without explaining. At least, at least talk to me about it first…”

Fu Yunxi’s eyes were red, and she couldn’t tell whether he felt more anger or grievance.

Sheng Nuan reached out and wiped the corner of his eye. Fu Yunxi turned his face away, gritting his teeth. “Don’t bother!”

Sheng Nuan tried to pull her hand back, but he swiftly grabbed it.

She let out a helpless laugh and said warmly, “If I told you, then what? Would the lover successfully rise in status?”

Sheng Nuan looked at Fu Yunxi. “Even if we ended up together after that, I would always be seen as the lover who rose in rank, wouldn’t I?”

Fu Yunxi froze immediately.

He thought of the awful comments he had seen online and, with a chilling realization, understood that Sheng Nuan was right.

He clung tightly to Sheng Nuan’s hand, refusing to let go, and said slowly, “Then I’ll start over and pursue you properly, okay?”

In a small voice, Fu Yunxi pleaded, “I know I messed up in the past and made you feel wronged, but please give me a chance. I’ll pursue you again, and we can start over, okay?”

Sheng Nuan paused for a moment. “I need to think about it.”

Fu Yunxi’s eyes turned red again. “How long will you think?”

Sheng Nuan looked at him and said, “Go back and deal with the mess on your end first, and then we’ll talk.”

Without hesitation, Fu Yunxi said, “Alright.”

Then he added, “Then while you’re thinking, you can’t be with anyone else…”

Sheng Nuan raised her eyebrows.

Before she could speak, Fu Yunxi gritted his teeth, “Don’t push me. I’m already trying my best to restrain myself.”

Sheng Nuan laughed in exasperation. “What will you do if I push you? Are you going to cry for me?”

Fu Yunxi didn’t respond, just pursed his lips and stared at Sheng Nuan. He felt that this woman was extremely hateful… Here he was, tormented and distressed, while she could still smile so calmly and casually.

At that moment, Sheng Nuan said, “Fine, I promise I won’t be with anyone else while I’m considering. Now go back and get some rest, your eyes are all red.”

Fu Yunxi pursed his lips. “That’s because you made me angry.”

Sheng Nuan smiled, “Then don’t be angry… Be good, go home.”

Fu Yunxi hesitated for a moment before suddenly saying, “I want to hug you.”

Sheng Nuan couldn’t help but laugh. She stepped forward and gave him a light hug.

It lasted only a moment.

Fu Yunxi breathed in the familiar fragrance, gazing at Sheng Nuan with deep reluctance. In a low voice, he said, “Sheng Nuan… I really do like you.”
