Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 166

Zhou Zekai spoke as if it were unintentional, all the while discreetly observing Luo Lin’s expression, feeling a bit irritable inside.

It was all that idiot Ying Qingfeng’s fault for making a big fuss bringing Luo Lin back. If he had met Luo Lin alone, this matter would have been much easier to handle.

Luo Lin saw right through Zhou Zekai’s little schemes, but his expression remained unchanged. Instead, he showed a bit of unease. “Uncle Zhou, you’ll help me get revenge, right?”

Zhou Zekai let out a long sigh. “Luo Lin, of course Uncle wants to avenge you and your father, but the problem is that if I help you now, it won’t be justified…”

Luo Lin frowned with worry. “Then what should we do?”

Zhou Zekai paused and then patted Luo Lin’s shoulder earnestly. “How about this, Uncle Zhou has a daughter named Zhou Xue, she’s only a year younger than you. Uncle will arrange for Xiao Xue to marry you, that way, we’ll be family, and Uncle Zhou will have a legitimate reason to help you…”

A cold glint flashed in Luo Lin’s eyes, but his face revealed surprise and gratitude. “Really? But… I still feel a bit unsettled. Uncle Zhou, can I think about it?”

“Of course!” Zhou Zekai’s face was full of fatherly affection. “You can settle down first, and we’ll make a long-term plan… Just treat this place as your home, and if you need anything, just tell Uncle!”

Luo Lin nodded repeatedly. “Thank you, Uncle Zhou.”

At that moment, Zhou Zekai casually asked, “Did your father leave the military seal to you?”

Luo Lin raised his eyes. “What?”

Zhou Zekai smiled. “Oh, it’s nothing. You go back and rest first, Uncle Zhou will arrange for Xiao Xue to meet you as soon as possible…”

Luo Lin showed a bit of shy unease. “Alright, thank you, Uncle Zhou.”

After leaving Zhou Zekai’s office, Luo Lin followed a soldier towards Sheng Nuan’s room.

His face betrayed nothing, but inside, his heart had turned cold.

Marry his daughter to him?

That way, Zhou Zekai could openly make him a puppet heir under his control… With the father-in-law and son-in-law relationship in place, no one would be able to criticize Zhou Zekai for anything.

By now, Luo Lin understood that Zhou Zekai had no intention of returning the Silver Wolf Army to him… And who knew how many in the entire base, like Ying Qingfeng, still unconditionally supported him as the rightful heir?

Luo Lin’s eyes turned icy and filled with hostility…

The next moment, the soldier led him to a room, saluted, and left.

Luo Lin adjusted his expression and knocked on the door before entering.

Sheng Nuan was reclining on the sofa, snacking on a fruit platter. Upon seeing him enter, she quickly sat up. “How did it go?”

Luo Lin sat across from her, remaining silent for a moment before telling Sheng Nuan about Zhou Zekai’s proposal…

When Luo Lin mentioned Zhou Zekai wanting him to marry Zhou Xue, he observed Sheng Nuan’s reaction closely, only to find that she seemed thoughtful… but not the least bit angry.

“Zhou Zekai clearly doesn’t welcome you. Marrying his daughter is just a way to temporarily pacify you and the people who support you. Once this period passes, dealing with you would be a piece of cake for him…”

Sheng Nuan mused. “But if you refuse, who knows what he might do to you behind the scenes. Luo Lin, you need to think this through carefully.”

After speaking, Sheng Nuan quickly added, “But I’ve always been the type with only a bit of cleverness without much wisdom. I can’t fully grasp the thoughts of those in power. Luo Lin, it’s best for you to unite with those who are truly loyal to you. In any case, don’t let Zhou Zekai easily get the upper hand on you…”

Across from her, Luo Lin’s expression faltered slightly.

He was certain that from beginning to end, Sheng Nuan showed no strong reaction to the possibility of him marrying another woman. She was even helping him analyze the situation objectively and rationally.

So, she truly didn’t care at all anymore.

Luo Lin lowered his gaze, his fists slowly clenching…

In the next moment, he heard Sheng Nuan softly clear her throat. “Luo Lin, from the start until now, you see, we’ve been together for quite a while… I told you before, I wouldn’t force anything.”

Luo Lin looked up blankly, only to see Sheng Nuan smiling brightly. “Now that you’ve reached your destination, I think it’s time for me to leave…”

Luo Lin’s expression froze.

After a brief pause, he spoke quietly. “Sister… Are you going to find Qin Yu?”

Sheng Nuan was startled, wondering whether to laugh or cry. “How could that be? Why would you think that?”

Luo Lin quietly stared at her. “Then where is Sister going?”

Sheng Nuan thought for a moment. “I’m not quite sure yet, I’ll just see as I go…”

Luo Lin pursed his lips, a hint of gloom flickering in his eyes. After a pause, he smiled faintly. “Sister has helped me so much, protected me all the way, and now you’re leaving… You haven’t said what you want in return?”

Sheng Nuan immediately waved her hand. “I don’t need anything. Oh, right, I packed two bottles of spring water in this bag for you. Keep them just in case… And if something does happen, don’t try to tough it out. The most important thing is to protect yourself, but I believe you’ll be just fine.”

She smiled sweetly. “I hope you achieve your wishes soon.”

Luo Lin gazed at her quietly, trying to find a trace of reluctance or forced cheerfulness in her eyes… but there was none. Her eyes and brows were full of joy and ease. She wasn’t the least bit sad about leaving, in fact… she seemed a bit eager.

The hand by Luo Lin’s side clenched tightly into a fist, and it took all his strength not to show any reaction…

After a pause, he nodded. “Then Sister can rest here tonight. Tomorrow, I’ll see you off.”

Sheng Nuan nodded. “Okay.”

That night, Sheng Nuan accompanied by Luo Lin, was personally taken by Zhou Zekai on a tour of the most powerful base in the apocalypse.

The top-floor restaurant offered a lavish buffet, with juices, wines, desserts, and cakes. Sheng Nuan’s eyes nearly watered at the sight… If it weren’t for fear of suspicion, she would have stuffed all those little cakes into her storage space.

That night, she slept on a soft, clean bed.

The bed was so comfortable that she just wanted to roll around on it.

If she didn’t love her freedom so much, she would have shamelessly wanted to stay here…

The next morning, Luo Lin personally saw Sheng Nuan off.

Outside the Silver Wolf Army base, Luo Lin stood before Sheng Nuan, his expression gentle. “Sister, will you miss me after you leave?”

Sheng Nuan laughed. “I will, I will. Take care of yourself, I hope everything goes smoothly for you…”

Seeing Sheng Nuan’s obvious effort to hide it, yet still unable to conceal her eagerness to leave, the corners of Luo Lin’s lips curled up. “I’ll miss Sister too.”

He stepped back, putting some distance between himself and the car as Sheng Nuan got in.

Luo Lin smiled at her. “I hope we meet again.”

Sheng Nuan waved with a smile. “We will, we will, goodbye…”

Luo Lin hummed softly. “Sister, goodbye.”

The car roared off into the distance… Sheng Nuan glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Luo Lin standing there quietly, watching in her direction…

Was she acting too eager?

Oh well, forget it, no point thinking about it. Finally, she doesn’t have to be a worker anymore—how freeing!

Sheng Nuan drove on her way…
