Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 213

By the time the discussion ended, two hours had passed.

Sheng Nuan’s throat was parched, and as she took a sip of water, she noticed her teammates, including Gao Luo, all looking at her with burning eyes… On the other side, the expert team was also visibly excited, still whispering among themselves.

Outside the conference room, Pei Shuo leaned against the wall in uniform. When his gaze met Sheng Nuan’s, a faint smile played at his lips, his eyes glinting with a peculiar fire.

Sheng Nuan had successfully leveraged her understanding of cutting-edge concepts, ideas that were mature but lacked procedural details, exchanging them for some of the critical technical information her team most needed.

And the experts from A Country weren’t displeased. From their perspective, trading some of their well-established technology, which H Country has already possessed, for such cutting-edge development concepts and preliminary technical ideas was quite a worthwhile exchange.

In short, Sheng Nuan used theories that A Country might only apply in ten years to acquire essential technical knowledge that H Country urgently needed. It wasn’t about who got the better deal; rather, both sides achieved what they wanted.

As the expert team left, their previous indifference and disdain were replaced by enthusiasm. They warmly invited Sheng Nuan and her team to visit A Country for an exchange in the future, to which Sheng Nuan naturally accepted with a cheerful smile…

The other team members also bid farewell to the expert team with cheerful smiles and enthusiasm.

After all, they’d genuinely acquired something valuable today…

When the experts had departed, the team waited in the lounge for the staff to escort them out. Sheng Nuan and Gao Luo exchanged a look, and she got up to leave.

She went to the conference room where the exchange session had taken place and spoke to the staff member at the door, “Um, we recorded the exchange session earlier. May I request a copy to take with us?”

The staff member frowned slightly. “Please wait a moment, I need to get approval.”

Just then, footsteps sounded behind Sheng Nuan… She turned to see Pei Shuo approaching in uniform.

The guard at the door immediately stood at attention and saluted. After returning the salute, Pei Shuo said warmly, “Leave this place to me. Come back in ten minutes.”

“Yes, sir.” The guard turned and left.

Sheng Nuan followed Pei Shuo in and flattered him with a smile, “Lieutenant Colonel Pei, you’ve become a lieutenant colonel without a word. So handsome… ah—”

Before she finished, Pei Shuo pressed her against the wall and kissed her directly.

In the dim conference room, Pei Shuo kissed her fiercely and urgently, but knowing it wasn’t the right place, he quickly regained control and stopped.

Sheng Nuan chuckled, “What’s wrong? So fierce all of a sudden…”

Pei Shuo replied hoarsely, “I really want to have my way with you.”

He added, “You were so beautiful and dazzling just now…”

It made him want to keep her all to himself!

Sheng Nuan laughed, tracing a finger over the buttons on his chest. She whispered, “Lieutenant Colonel Pei is also very handsome in this uniform. How about wearing it… when you have me…”

Pei Shuo’s eyes darkened, his Adam’s apple moving slightly as he gazed deeply at Sheng Nuan. “Remember what you said!”

In the next moment, he turned and walked to the recorder behind the plants, pulling out the tape they had recorded.

“You little troublemaker, always full of clever ideas.”

Sheng Nuan grinned, “Thanks for the compliment.”

Back at the university, Sheng Nuan and her team went straight to the lab. There, the entire project team gathered in the meeting room and began playing the recording of the exchange session…

As they listened to the fluent English dialogue, everyone looked at Sheng Nuan with admiration.

Spoken English was already challenging for them. Not everyone could achieve fluency, especially in a technical discussion filled with various professional terms…

Sheng Nuan sat there, playing the recording and providing real-time translation, while two others took notes and summarized the information. By the time they had organized and reviewed the two hours of exchange content, night had already fallen.

They’d even eaten in the lab…

But even so, no one complained.

The content from this exchange session thoroughly filled the gaps in the reference technologies that their project had been lacking, making it invaluable to them.

Everyone was excited, but toward the back of the crowd, Tao Yu’s expression was somewhat stiff, and her smile appeared forced…

She hadn’t expected that the team member who was just running errands for her two months ago would now become the leader of the entire project team… and she was only a freshman!

That evening, Gao Luo and Sheng Nuan finished organizing the materials and were the last to leave the lab.

As they headed downstairs, the two were still talking.

Gao Luo shook his head with a smile. “If you hadn’t reminded me to record, we’d have lost a lot from today’s session…”

Sheng Nuan smiled, “It’s nothing. I just have a bit of cleverness. When it comes to doing real work, it still relies on wisdom.”

Gao Luo looked at her and smiled. “You’re too modest.”

Just then, a sharp voice sounded ahead, “Gao Luo!”

Yue Qianrou walked over quickly, hugging Gao Luo’s arm. “Why are you out so late? Just the two of you?”

Gao Luo frowned. “What’s wrong?”

Yue Qianrou bit her lip, not saying anything.

Just now, she had been waiting here for Gao Luo when she saw him walking out with Sheng Nuan. The key was the way Gao Luo had smiled and talked to Sheng Nuan… She had never seen that kind of look on his face before.

Bright and focused!

Yue Qianrou suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis in her heart.

Sheng Nuan nodded lightly. “I’ll take my leave first.”

Gao Luo’s lips moved slightly before he finally said gently, “Make sure to rest well over the weekend. You must be tired after today. See you next week.”

Sheng Nuan nodded. “Alright.”

With that, she turned and walked away…

Before Sheng Nuan could walk far, she heard Yue Qianrou deliberately raise her voice behind her, “What does it matter to you whether she’s tired or not? Why are you saying so much to her?”

Gao Luo frowned. “What exactly are you trying to say?”

Yue Qianrou bit her lip. “You know she bullied me. Not only did you not kick her out of the project team, but you’re getting close to her? How could you even ask me that?”

Gao Luo paused, then replied calmly, “Is your conflict really as you said? From my interactions with her, I don’t see Sheng Nuan as the kind of petty person who would make trouble over nothing.”

Yue Qianrou’s expression suddenly froze, and the next moment, her eyes turned red. “You just think she’s pretty, right? Do you like her? Just like those boys, all falling for her looks?”

Gao Luo frowned. “What are you even going on about? This is nonsense. We’re just team members. When did you become so unreasonable?”

Gao Luo and Yue Qianrou were childhood sweethearts, and as he grew older, his main focus was his studies. So when Yue Qianrou confessed her feelings, he considered it for two days and agreed.

She was familiar, obedient, low-maintenance, and wouldn’t interfere with his studies… Since he’d eventually be in a relationship and get married, he thought she’d be a good choice.

Gao Luo had always thought his reasoning was sound, but at that moment, seeing Yue Qianrou’s furious, gritted teeth expression, he suddenly felt… this kind of relationship seemed rather dull.

Yue Qianrou wanted to say more, but Gao Luo cut her off. “I’m tired. If you have something to say, we can talk about it another day. I’ll walk you back to the dorm, or you can go back by yourself. You choose.”

Yue Qianrou was stunned for a moment… She wanted to question him further, but when she met his impatient, indifferent gaze, she knew that if she continued to be stubborn, he would definitely turn around and leave.

He had always been like this, sticking firmly to his words. Even in the rare moments he coaxed her, he had his own unyielding principles.

And she knew she couldn’t cross that line…

She knew in her heart that she had been a bit unreasonable. In the end, Yue Qianrou bit her lip, sniffed, and lowered her head. “Send me back.”

Gao Luo’s expression softened slightly. “Let’s go.”
