Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 362

After finishing their meal, the three of them took a hover car to White Silver Academy, just as before.

Once they got out of the car, Sheng Siyang headed off to his own classroom. Watching his back, Sheng Nuan suddenly realized that this big fatty seemed to have lost quite a bit of weight lately.

He had been consistently exercising, and his entire energy and demeanor had changed.

Retracting her gaze, Sheng Nuan walked forward with Huo Ling. As she walked, she could not help sighing… It was really not easy. The future leader of the rebel army, who was originally her sworn enemy, was finally no longer an enemy.

Add to that the written agreement and all those past instances of helping him… Mom no longer has to worry about turning into cannon fodder.

Just then, Sheng Nuan saw Yuan Shao and Duan Heng walking toward them.

With Yuan Wenbin’s downfall, Yuan Shao, who had once been the son of a Director of the Finance Department, instantly turned into someone who could only continue attending school through his grandfather’s connections. Those lackeys who used to trail behind him had all disappeared.

His once flamboyant red hair was dyed black, and he looked haggard.

But upon seeing Sheng Nuan, he paused, then still walked over.

“My dad… what Yuan Wenbin did to target your family before, I’m sorry,” Yuan Shao said quietly.

Sheng Nuan smiled. “It has nothing to do with you, and it’s all in the past.”

Yuan Shao forced a slight twitch of his lips. “I also have to thank you. If not for what I heard that day from Yuan Yu, I might never have known…”

Before Yuan Shao could finish speaking, Sheng Nuan interrupted him with a cheerful laugh, “Alright, alright, it’s all in the past. Don’t think too much about it.”

Yuan Shao paused and answered softly with a low “mm.”

At this moment, beside them, Huo Ling suddenly asked tentatively with some suspicion, “When you say what happened that day with Yuan Yu… what do you mean?”

Sheng Nuan immediately said, “Class is about to start, let’s go quickly.”

Then she met Huo Ling’s gaze, which was filled with unclear meaning.

Opposite them, Yuan Shao let out a bitter laugh.

All their family’s dirty laundry was known to everyone, and he had not intended to hide anything. He spoke directly, “That day, after I dragged Yuan Yu away from his secret filming, he lost control and shouted that he was the true eldest son of the Yuan family, even mentioning something about a mecha… I didn’t get it at the time. It wasn’t until that night when I saw him that I realized what he meant.”

Yuan Shao shook his head helplessly. “If I hadn’t happened to run into Yuan Yu that day, I might never have known… that my own biological father wanted to kill me for profit.”

Sheng Nuan’s heart immediately tightened. She hurriedly cut him off, “Come on, let’s go, class is starting. Don’t think so much.”

Duan Heng lightly glanced at her, then looked at Huo Ling beside her.

Huo Ling said nothing and walked forward. In his mind, he quickly pieced everything together.

What Yuan Shao thought of as coincidence was not coincidence at all… That day when dealing with Yuan Yu, Sheng Nuan appeared to be helping him rescue someone, but it was obvious she had her own intentions.

Dealing with Yuan Yu at school and in the Blue Palace was all part of her interconnected scheme. She had taken his idea for nothing, yet in the end she still had the nerve to act as if he owed her something, putting on a face of deep anguish as she spoke of “helping him,” and even made him sign a written agreement.

Huo Ling almost felt like laughing in anger.

He had been acting to trick others day after day, yet this time, from start to finish, he had been the one tricked!

Sheng Nuan felt guilty the whole way and only managed to part ways with Huo Ling after finally making it to the classroom.

Later, during the special training classes, she was not with Huo Ling, which allowed her to breathe a bit easier…

Right before mecha class started, she ran into Mo Qingran, who had come specifically to find her.

“Whether you believe it or not, I didn’t know that Qin Ji had already invited you to be his dance partner that day… I’m sorry about what happened at the banquet.”

In the past two days, the news had spread that Sheng Nuan had been invited by Qin Ji to be his dance partner and then stood up, becoming a laughingstock in some circles. They said she tried to climb a high branch only to be slapped down.

If not for Yuan Wenbin’s matter being more shocking, and the fact that Sheng Nuan had saved so many people on White Lion Star previously and received a medal, people might have openly mocked her even more.

Mo Qingran’s expression was stiff, clearly embarrassed. Sheng Nuan just smiled. “It’s all in the past.”

Mo Qingran nodded and left.

After class, Qin Ji also came… and he came to apologize too.

Not on the next day after the banquet, but two days later… Sheng Nuan had learned from customer service that it was because she asked Sheng Qingfeng to take in those refugees, and Sheng Qingfeng had taken the initiative, so the news reached Qin Ji’s ears.

Sheng Nuan had just been commended. Now, if Sheng Qingfeng truly took in those thousands of refugees on his private planet and arranged work for them, such a grand charitable act would surely make a sensation throughout the Alliance.

Qin Ji realized that maintaining a good relationship with the Sheng family would still be very advantageous to his status, so he finally remembered to apologize for the birthday banquet incident.

“Mo Qingran went that day, and she comes from a different background than us. I had to consider her dignity, so I wronged you… Nuan Nuan, I’m sorry.”

Now, seeing Qin Ji’s pretentious façade, Sheng Nuan was reminded that he was the real scoundrel who had brought in the Zerg to massacre humans for power. She felt deeply disgusted, but managed to squeeze out a smile. “If Your Highness truly wants to compensate me, could you promise me one thing?”

Qin Ji smiled. “What is it?”

Sheng Nuan said, “Your Highness knows that my father gave me a planet, and we plan to turn it into a vacation spot. But it’s very far from the Imperial Star, and after seeing the Zerg attacks last time, I’m terrified… Could Your Highness grant me special permission to double the defensive forces on that planet?”

She looked at Qin Ji with hopeful eyes. “This way, if I go there to play someday, or invite Your Highness, we won’t have to be afraid of a Zerg sneak attack.”

Private planets were indeed allowed armed defensive forces, but there were strict limits on the number.

Qin Ji knew that the planet in question was precisely the one Sheng Qingfeng planned to use to house refugees… a remote, refugee-filled little planet. Doubling its armed forces was nothing.

He smiled. “As long as Nuan Nuan is willing to forgive me, I will certainly take care of this matter for you.”

Sheng Nuan immediately smiled happily. “Thank you, Your Highness!”

Qin Ji sighed helplessly, smiling wryly. “As long as you don’t hold a grudge against me…”

Sheng Nuan blinked. “How could I!”

When Qin Ji left, the smile on Sheng Nuan’s face disappeared. She curled her lip in disdain: A hypocrite!

But this was wonderful. With defensive forces doubled, she could arrange twice as many fighter craft and mecha… More importantly, once doubled, that planet would be allowed to have a cruiser.

Traveling between the Imperial Star and that planet to transport things would become much more convenient.

This was her true goal.

Obviously, Qin Ji did not care about a remote little planet, which was perfect for her.

Just then, a voice sounded behind her.

“Thinking about who else to trick, hmm?”

Sheng Nuan’s expression froze. She turned around and saw Huo Ling, putting on an innocent smile. “What?”

Huo Ling strolled slowly up to her. “You used my idea to set up Yuan Yu… and said it was to help me save people? Hmm? How long were you planning to fool me, Miss Sheng?”

Not to mention how she also tricked him into guiding Xu Lan and made him sign that written agreement.

Who knew what other schemes this woman has!

Realizing that both of them had now completely torn off their disguises and could no longer pretend, Sheng Nuan sighed. “I used you, but haven’t you also used me? And I did save you, didn’t I?”

Huo Ling snorted coldly. “So what?”

Sheng Nuan spoke earnestly, “So, let’s call it even. That’s not too much, right?”

Huo Ling let out another cold snort, and then he heard Sheng Nuan talking to herself, “Then it’s settled. We’ll call it even. From now on, I won’t use you, and you can stop acting and feeding me bewitching soup nonsense, OK?”
