Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 22

Time passed quickly, and ten days flew by in the blink of an eye.

When Ye Nanxun came out of the examination hall, he saw many parents waiting outside to pick up the participants. He took a glance and then turned his eyes away, heading straight to the bus station to return to the hospital.

Although the closed training and competition were conveniently held in the capital city, he couldn’t leave. Now that the exams were finally over, he couldn’t wait even a minute.

But at that moment, Ye Nanxun’s steps suddenly faltered. He stared blankly ahead, his expression stunned…

Just up ahead among the crowd waiting for the participants, his mother was sitting in a wheelchair. Sheng Nuan was pushing the wheelchair and holding an umbrella, standing there. When they saw him, both of them smiled and waved at him.

After ten days, his mother could already stand up. She wore a hat and her complexion looked much better than before the surgery. The girl pushing the wheelchair was dressed in a hoodie and wide-leg pants, making her slender waist and long legs stand out. She stood there, grinning with a mixture of cunning and pride of having successfully surprised him….

Ye Nanxun was already eighteen years old, and this was the first time someone was waiting for him outside after an exam.

A sudden, subtle shiver ran through his heart. As he took steps toward them, he realized that his steps felt almost light and airy.

Sheng Nuan didn’t notice Ye Nanxun’s unusual reaction. When he reached them, she explained, “The doctor said Auntie can come out for a walk and get some fresh air… Don’t worry, Auntie’s recovery is going well.”

Ye Wan smiled and took her son’s hand. As she spoke, her eyes suddenly reddened a bit: “Yes, I’m doing well. These past few days, I really owe it all to Nuan Nuan.”

When Ye Nanxun suddenly said he was going to take the exam, Ye Wan had already guessed that her son had originally not planned to go, just to take care of her.

But thanks to Sheng Nuan, she didn’t end up dragging her son down from such an important opportunity… To Ye Wan, her son’s future was more important than her own health.

These days, Sheng Nuan had hired two senior caregivers for Ye Wan. After school, she would go to supervise them. From the hospital to returning home, the two caregivers took meticulous care of Ye Wan.

Sheng Nuan certainly didn’t take this lightly… After all, it concerned her own life.

Ye Nanxun pursed his lips, paused for a moment, and then said, “Thank you…”

His voice was still low, but it was the first time he sincerely thanked her from the bottom of his heart.

The car stopped not far away. As they approached, bodyguards came forward to lift Ye Wan and her wheelchair into the car.

The spacious back seat of the limousine was quite comfortable, but both Ye Wan and Ye Nanxun were a bit reserved.

Sheng Nuan took a bottle of water from the small fridge and handed it to Ye Nanxun. “Everything’s ready at home. We’ll celebrate when we get back.”

Ye Nanxun was a bit surprised. “Celebrate?”

Sheng Nuan raised her eyebrows as if it were obvious and said, “Of course, we need to celebrate! An early celebration. I believe you’ll definitely win a big prize.”

Ye Wan, feeling both helpless and unable to stop smiling, said to Ye Nanxun, “I can’t stop Nuan Nuan from wanting to celebrate for you. A’Nan, you have to do well this time, failing is not an option.”

Sheng Nuan blinked in confusion, “Ye Nanxun, didn’t you do well?”

At this moment, facing Sheng Nuan and her mother’s eyes, Ye Nanxun rarely showed a youthful demeanor, raising an eyebrow slightly, “Aim for first place and fight for it.”

Sheng Nuan was stunned for a moment and then burst out laughing.

“Alright, alright, it looks like we really should celebrate, haha… Auntie, has Ye Nanxun always been such a stinker?”

Ye Wan’s expression slightly faltered, and Ye Nanxun beside her was momentarily taken aback before quickly looking away.

In truth, he seldom showed such a youthful and arrogant side…

When Ye Nanxun returned home, he almost didn’t recognize his own house.

The place had practically been renovated. The originally dark and cramped space had been reconfigured, becoming much more spacious and making it much cleaner and brighter. He was a bit stunned and instinctively looked at Sheng Nuan.

Sheng Nuan clicked her tongue and chuckled, “Well, when I brought Auntie back, I noticed that many places were inconvenient… so I had someone tidy things up. Don’t worry, it’s all top-grade eco-friendly materials and can be used directly by people.”

Ye Nanxun’s expression was a bit difficult to describe.

To find something inconvenient at someone else’s place and then renovate their home… Only a young lady like her would do something like that.

Sheng Nuan nudged him with her elbow, “How is it? My taste is pretty good, right?”

Ye Nanxun hummed in response.

Sheng Nuan added, “Doesn’t it feel good to have a rich woman as your partner?”

Ye Nanxun was used to responding with a slight “mm” before realizing what she had said. He immediately looked up, his expression hard to describe.

Sheng Nuan tilted her chin and said, “Just say whether it looks good or not?”

Ye Nanxun gave her a weary glance and didn’t respond, walking ahead…

The dining table in the restaurant was already set with a delicious meal at the perfect temperature.

After the bodyguards left, Sheng Nuan had a meal with Ye Nanxun and his mother… Throughout the meal, she discreetly observed Ye Nanxun’s expression.

Confirming that he no longer looked at her coldly as he used to, Sheng Nuan finally let out a huge sigh of relief.

Her good deeds hadn’t gone to waste; if nothing unexpected happened, Ye Nanxun probably wouldn’t cause trouble for her in the future…

While eating, Sheng Nuan called customer service, “Customer service, check Ye Nanxun’s blackening value.”

The system had become numb to the way she addressed him and no longer corrected her: “Current blackening value of target Ye Nanxun: 40.”

The smile on Sheng Nuan’s face widened…

After the meal, Ye Nanxun took the plates and bowls to the kitchen to clean up… These were the utensils brought by the chef Sheng Nuan had hired.

“These plates are all new and can be kept for use at home in the future.” Sheng Nuan followed him enthusiastically, trying to help.

Ye Nanxun glanced at the dramatically changed kitchen, gave a low ‘mm’ in response, and didn’t let her touch the dishes. “You should go sit outside for a bit. I’ll clean up quickly.”

Sheng Nuan refused, “I’ll help you…”

But soon she realized she was of no use.

Ye Nanxun put the bowls, chopsticks, and plates into the sink, added some dish soap, and began washing them quietly and with practiced ease… Sheng Nuan, who had hardly done any housework in her two lifetimes, watched in amazement and couldn’t help but marvel.

“You’re amazing.”

Ye Nanxun looked puzzled and glanced up to see the girl watching him with admiration while he washed the dishes… He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“What are you laughing at?”

Sheng Nuan raised her eyebrows and rolled her eyes at him silently… Ye Nanxun didn’t say anything and slowly looked away.

Up close, the girl was very lively, looking delicate and beautiful, just like the most expensive doll in a display case…

When Sheng Nuan left the Ye family home and got into the car with the bodyguards’ escort, only the Ye family mother and son remained in the house.

The caregivers had been sent back in the morning at Ye Wan’s insistence. She knew very well that their family couldn’t afford the caregivers. Now that her son was back and she herself had basic self-care abilities, there was no need for them anymore.

Ye Nanxun poured a glass of water for his mother and sat down to review the hospital’s check-up report. At this moment, he heard his mother tentatively asking him, “A’Nan, did Miss Sheng help us a lot this time?”

In front of Sheng Nuan, Ye Wan had always called her by name, but she knew well that the girl’s family background was beyond her imagination.

Ye Nanxun paused and hummed softly.

“Can Mom ask why she helped us?”

There’s no such thing as a pie falling from the sky¹. Ye Wan didn’t worry about much else, but the one thing she was most concerned about was whether her son might be led astray because of her burdens.

Ye Nanxun understood his mother’s worries. He wanted to find some excuse, but he also knew his mother wasn’t stupid. If he kept things from her, she might not press for more details, but she would definitely continue to overthink.

Ye Nanxun paused, then quietly replied, “She asked me to be her boyfriend.”

Ye Wan was stunned for a moment, then understood… No wonder.

For a moment, she felt a mix of worry and, inexplicably, found it a little funny and helpless… Although Miss Sheng appeared polite and considerate in front of her, her words and actions still inadvertently revealed signs of being pampered and spoiled.

Kids at this age are most prone to acting on impulse, so it’s not surprising for them to do something like this.

Ye Wan sighed, “A’Nan, Mom has been dragging you down all this time…”

Ye Nanxun frowned. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Ye Wan smiled helplessly, “Mom may not have the right to say much, but I still want to mention this. Miss Sheng is a good girl, but her family background is what it is… Regardless of the reason she helped us this time, we will need to repay this kindness in the future.”

Ye Nanxun hummed again.

Ye Wan hesitated for a moment and then added, “Young people are fickle, and regarding Miss Sheng… you should be mindful.”

Such a beautiful and lovely girl—what boy wouldn’t like her?

But Ye Wan knew that Sheng Nuan and they were from different worlds, and she was worried that her son might get hurt…

After all, they were at an age where they were just beginning to experience love, with a blank slate, and could easily be marked with deep and vivid impressions.

Ye Nanxun looked at his mother, his expression a bit resigned, “I know.”

He understood many things better than anyone else…

Seeing his calm demeanor, Ye Wan finally felt reassured, though her emotions remained complicated.

She knew her child had always been cold and indifferent since childhood. Seeing him now not taking Miss Sheng’s youthful whims seriously, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief. At the same time, she was also a bit worried. What if, by remaining so rational to the point of being cold, he ended up unable to find a partner in the future?…
