Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 383

Xu Zhengqing actually wanted to leave directly…

This woman now looked so pitiful, just like the time when she hurt her foot dancing and said she would ‘never dare do it again’. But he knew she wasn’t truly harmless and pitiful.

Glancing at the corpses and bl00d on the floor and thinking of the engagement between their families, Xu Zhengqing finally managed to restrain his temper and spoke coldly, “Follow.”

Then he saw the woman, wrapped in her mink shawl, hurriedly run over…

On the way back, Sheng Nuan sat beside Xu Zhengqing.

When he got into the car, he used a handkerchief to wipe the bl00d from his face, but the faint smell of bl00d still lingered on him.

Sheng Nuan’s gaze fell on the back of his hand, and she spoke quietly, “Eldest Cousin, your hand is injured.”

It had been cut by splintered glass shards from just then…

Xu Zhengqing did not even look at it. “It’s nothing.”

“It’s still bleeding… Let me bandage it for you,” Sheng Nuan offered gently, taking out a white silk handkerchief.

She seemed frightened by what had just happened and now appeared very well-behaved. Xu Zhengqing glanced at the bl00d oozing from his hand and raised it expressionlessly.

In the next moment, the woman carefully placed his hand on her own leg and began wrapping it with the silk handkerchief…

It was originally a very ordinary action. Yet she placed his hand on her thigh… and because she was seated, the slit of her qipao parted slightly, revealing a stretch of creamy white skin.

His palm just happened to be placed on that piece of fair skin…

After tying the knot, Sheng Nuan lifted her eyes to look at him and softly said, “Eldest Cousin’s hand is injured, it’s best to keep it still and not move.”

Keep it still on her thigh?

Xu Zhengqing gave a cold laugh. He gripped her chin, warning in a frosty tone, “All these thoughts of yours should be used on Xu Yunqian…”

His voice was cold, “I don’t care how a well-bred Sheng family lady has grown up into such a wanton appearance. But you’d better give up those improper ideas. Don’t waste your effort.”

The woman’s chin was pinched by him, but her eyes still stared straight at him. Her mouth remained sharp, “But I only like Eldest Cousin… I don’t want to spend my energy on anyone else.”

A vein pulsed on Xu Zhengqing’s forehead. He immediately released her, sneering, “So this is what a grand young lady of the Sheng family is like.”

His ridicule and contempt were undisguised.

But Sheng Nuan didn’t seem to mind. While massaging her chin, she still had the guts to tease him lightly, “Then Eldest Cousin truly lacks experience…”

Xu Zhengqing no longer responded.

Sheng Nuan also quieted down, leaning back in her seat and closing her eyes to rest… As she leaned further, her whole body gradually slumped against Xu Zhengqing’s shoulder.

Xu Zhengqing finally reached the end of his patience and shoved her away.

With a bang, Sheng Nuan’s head hit the car window on the other side. Her eyes were wide with bewilderment. “Eldest Cousin?”

There was still a hint of drowsiness in her eyes… She had actually fallen asleep.

Xu Zhengqing glared coldly at her. He saw the woman bite her lip and glare resentfully at him, then leaned to the other side and closed her eyes again.

The next day, when Xu Yunqian returned to the Xu residence and saw Sheng Nuan, he showed an embarrassed expression. “Yesterday was sudden. I’m sorry about that… well, good thing you’re okay.”

Xu Zhengqing had already gone to the barracks. Seated at the dining table, Sheng Nuan took small bites of her breakfast and said quietly, “I’ve heard that though the Second Young Master is rakish, he is also a peerless gentleman. I have now seen this for myself.”

Xu Yunqian’s expression froze slightly. Then Sheng Nuan went on, “Even if you don’t like me, you shouldn’t have left me alone there, right, Second Young Master?”

She was no longer calling him Second Cousin. She really seemed to be angry now.

But that was normal. Anyone would be upset in her position.

Xu Yunqian sighed and sat opposite her. “To be frank, I ran off yesterday because my girlfriend was injured… Miss Sheng, you are beautiful and from a good family, but we really are not suited for each other. I don’t like traditional women. Why cling to someone who doesn’t like you?”

He said helplessly, “Do you really like me that much?”

He was still picking his words carefully, trying to persuade Sheng Nuan, when he heard her say blandly, “I don’t like you.”

Xu Yunqian’s prepared speech was stuck in his throat. He looked at her, speechless. “Then why not tell my brother?”

Sheng Nuan gave him a cool glance. “I did.”

“Then why is he still forcing me…”

Xu Yunqian trailed off, remembering his elder brother’s personality, and felt a headache coming on. “He’s just a fossil who never changes, with a foul and stubborn temper, he’s also a tyrant…”

So picky with so many unreasonable rules. That ridiculous engagement… He doesn’t need love himself, so he assumes no one else does either. Stubbornly insisting they adhere to that old agreement and making everyone miserable!

Sheng Nuan said calmly, “Even without the engagement, leaving me alone in that place was still not gentlemanly conduct, was it, Second Young Master?”

Xu Yunqian snapped back to his senses and quickly apologized, “Miss Sheng, I’ll call you cousin. With Heaven as my witness, I truly have no ill will toward you. It’s just… sigh, I apologize sincerely. I’m truly sorry.”

Sheng Nuan glanced at him, then said coolly, “If Second Young Master is truly sincere in apologizing, why not help me with a small favor?”

Xu Yunqian asked tentatively, “What favor?”

Sheng Nuan set down her chopsticks slowly. “I still have some assets at hand. Instead of letting them lie idle, I may as well invest in some business. That way, if I cannot rely on the Marshal’s manor one day, at least I will have some property to fall back on.”

Xu Yunqian paused, a bit skeptical, “You know how to do business?”

The Sheng family was known for their pure and noble lineage. He never expected this Miss Sheng to want to do business.

After he spoke, she cast him a cool glance. “Could it be that Second Young Master was born knowing how to be a philanderer?”

Xu Yunqian’s mouth twitched. “You’ve got a sharp tongue… What kind of business do you want to do?”

Seeing that he was genuinely willing to help, Sheng Nuan’s expression became serious. “It’s like this…”

After discussing at length, the two agreed that Xu Yunqian would help introduce her to some contacts. Once they finished talking, Xu Yunqian quickly ate his meal and got up to leave. “I’m going to see Linlang, she was injured.”

Sheng Nuan waved her hand. “Go ahead, Second Young Master. Give her my regards.”

Xu Yunqian smiled. “Alright.”

Seeing that Sheng Nuan really had no intention of marrying him, Xu Yunqian finally breathed a long sigh of relief…

In the following days, Xu Zhengqing was so busy he was seldom seen.

Sheng Nuan learned from customer service that he was investigating the last assassination attempt… Those people had prepared for a long time and paid a great price, but they ended up being wiped out by Xu Zhengqing in one fell swoop.

Until one day, when an elder of the Xu family held a birthday banquet and invited the family to attend, Sheng Nuan followed Xu Yunqian to the gathering. Only then did she see Xu Zhengqing again.

Although Xu Zhengqing hadn’t shown up at home for several days, he was well aware of everything he needed to know.

Learning that Xu Yunqian had gone to see Luo Linlang again, he directly sent men to the Luo family home to tie him up and bring him back, ordering him to attend the family banquet with Sheng Nuan.

At such a formal banquet, one naturally could not bring just anyone as a companion.

With Xu Zhengqing’s status, he and his brother were seated at the main table. Because only two ladies were seated at the main table, Sheng Nuan ended up sitting between Xu Zhengqing and Xu Yunqian…

Shortly after the dishes were served, the birthday star went on stage to give a speech. Sheng Nuan leaned close and said softly to Xu Zhengqing, “Eldest Cousin, I’d want to eat that yam dish, but I can’t reach it.”

Xu Zhengqing’s face instantly darkened.

In front of all these people, did she think he would serve her?

He tried to suppress his impatience and pretended not to hear her. But in the next moment, he felt a scratching sensation on the back of his hand under the table.

That woman softly called him, “Eldest Cousin…”

With a bang, Xu Zhengqing flung his hand, causing the table to shake. The teacup in front of Sheng Nuan tipped over, spilling freshly poured tea onto her arm. She let out a cry of pain and quickly stood up.

Xu Zhengqing froze for a moment and instinctively looked up, only to see her fair, slender arm quickly turning red… The woman bit her lip as she looked at him, tears almost spilling from her eyes…
