Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 68

Upon seeing Sheng Nuan’s look of disbelief mixed with joy, Princess Lin’an scoffed and looked away. “Surprising that you still remember me.”

Sheng Nuan was completely dumbfounded, suddenly realizing something. She frowned. “How… how did you recognize me?”

This body belonged to the original host, but when she was with Xiaoyu back then, it was her own appearance. How did Xiaoyu recognize her?

Princess Lin’an, his expression unreadable, looked away. “You guess.”

Sheng Nuan couldn’t guess, nor did she want to. Instead, she hugged the other person tightly, both surprised and overjoyed. “So it really is Xiaoyu… Did you recognize me the first time we met? No wonder you gave me a gold bracelet! Haha, I guess you do have a heart…”

Princess Lin’an stiffened slightly but did not push her away. He leaned back a little, quietly observing her. “Aren’t you going to explain?”

Sheng Nuan was taken aback for a moment before offering a bitter smile. “I… can’t explain.”

Princess Lin’an frowned. “What do you mean you can’t explain?”

Sheng Nuan pursed her lips and slowly said, “It’s just… I’m not allowed to say.”

Even if she says it, Xiaoyu wouldn’t hear it. The rules would wipe the information, and she would also be punished.

Princess Lin’an’s face stiffened, but thinking back to how Sheng Nuan had vanished into thin air and returned like this… it wasn’t something that could be easily explained.

After a pause, Princess Lin’an asked, “Is it… because of the little fairy?”

Is it because she is a fairy that she can’t say it?

Sheng Nuan immediately beamed and nodded enthusiastically. “Exactly.”

Princess Lin’an fell silent once more. After a moment, she asked, “Then, what about your name?”

Sheng Nuan smiled brightly. “I’m called Sheng Nuan.”

Princess Lin’an stopped speaking, while Sheng Nuan’s energy surged.

Realizing that the stunning beauty in front of her was actually that dirty little girl from back then, she couldn’t help but marvel. Leaning closer to look from different angles, she exclaimed, “So our Xiaoyu grew up to be this beautiful!”

She laughed playfully. “So pretty, and yet you weren’t sent away for political marriage…”

Princess Lin’an’s eyebrows instantly turned frosty as she said coolly, “Are you really hoping I’ll be sent away for marriage alliance?”

Sheng Nuan suddenly smiled, reaching out to hug her, whispering softly, “I just hope you’re safe and well…”

Princess Lin’an was caught off guard and suddenly stiffened, gritting his teeth in silence. In the end, he said nothing and slowly extended his arms to pull the person holding him into an embrace.

Sheng Nuan, feeling that something was slightly off about their position, suddenly remembered something.

She pushed Princess Lin’an away and asked seriously, “What’s going on with your body?”

In the original story, when trouble hit the Duke of Zhenbei’s manor, Princess Lin’an passed away from illness… Now that she was still like this, Sheng Nuan couldn’t help but worry.

She asked earnestly, “Is there something wrong with your health?”

Princess Lin’an looked at her quietly for a moment, then shook his head. “I’m just injured. I can’t use my strength for now, that’s all.”

Sheng Nuan reluctantly let out a sigh of relief but still felt uneasy. She warned seriously, “You must be careful in the future and protect yourself no matter what you do, do you understand?”

Princess Lin’an gazed at her, a dark emotion flashing in his eyes. He averted his gaze again, speaking coldly, “You don’t need to worry about me… You should worry about your Xiao Dingcheng instead.”

At the end, he added, “Just fake kindness.”

Sheng Nuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “How can you still be so heartless…”

Just then, voices rang out from outside, accompanied by shouts.

“Nuan Nuan… Sheng Nuan…”

It was Xiao Dingcheng who had come with people in search of her…

Princess Lin’an’s eyes flickered coldly for a moment but quickly returned to normal. Sheng Nuan quickly stood up and went to the mouth of the cave, shouting, “Your Lordship! Your Lordship, we’re over here!”

The rain outside had lessened to a misty drizzle, and then Sheng Nuan saw Xiao Dingcheng shake off the group of guards behind him as he headed toward her.

His chest was roughly bandaged, and bl00d still seeped through, but he seemed oblivious to the pain as he ran up and pulled Sheng Nuan into his arms.

“You’re safe, thank goodness… thank goodness.”

Xiao Dingcheng closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath, his heart full of tenderness…

Sheng Nuan heard a notification from customer service: “Host, mission target Xiao Dingcheng’s real-time favorability rating is 80.”

The same as Liu Rumian?

At that moment, someone else emerged from the cave. Xiao Dingcheng, seeing the expressionless Princess Lin’an, was stunned. “Your Highness, how are you here?”

Sheng Nuan saw the cold and dangerous look in Princess Lin’an’s eyes, coughed awkwardly, and pushed Xiao Dingcheng away.

She had almost forgotten that Xiao Dingcheng, her mission target, was technically Princess Lin’an’s legitimate husband. Even if their relationship wasn’t good, they were still officially married.

Princess Lin’an’s expression was cold. “I got separated from the group and happened to run into Sheng Nuan.”

With that, Princess Lin’an didn’t spare Xiao Dingcheng another glance and walked straight ahead…

Since his legitimate princess wife was present, Xiao Dingcheng didn’t dare show much more emotion. He turned around and looked Sheng Nuan up and down. “How are you? Did you get hurt?”

Sheng Nuan shook her head, then looked at the injury on his chest. “Let’s go back first. Husband, you’re injured.”

Not far away, Princess Lin’an froze, his body rigid, as a look of anger flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Dingcheng’s expression softened as he said, “It’s nothing. As long as you’re okay, I’ll be at ease…”

The guards brought over a carriage, and Sheng Nuan and Princess Lin’an got into it. Under the protection of the guards, they headed back.

Inside the carriage, Princess Lin’an sat there without saying a word.

Noticing that the princess seemed displeased, Sheng Nuan thought it might be because she felt upset about her being too close to Xiao Dingcheng. After some hesitation, she tentatively asked, “Xiaoyu?”

Princess Lin’an looked up.

Sheng Nuan asked, “Do you… like Xiao Dingcheng?”

As soon as she spoke, Princess Lin’an’s face twisted in disgust. Disgusted to the point of nausea. “Can you stop disgusting me?”

Sheng Nuan finally relaxed, leaning back in relief, only to hiss in pain when her back touched the carriage wall.

Princess Lin’an frowned instantly. “Are you injured?”

Sheng Nuan hummed. “I think my back got scratched, but it’s nothing serious…”

“Let me see.” Princess Lin’an moved closer.

“It’s fine… ”

Sheng Nuan instinctively refused, but seeing the concern in the princess’s furrowed brows, she paused and turned around, undoing her top to reveal her shoulder blades.

A scratch ran across her shoulder blade, likely from a sword, not too deep, but with traces of bl00d…

Sheng Nuan smiled. “See? It’s not serious, barely any bl00d.”

Before she could finish speaking, she felt a gentle touch on her shoulder blade.

From where Sheng Nuan couldn’t see, Princess Lin’an’s eyes were dark, and his throat moved slightly.

Just as Sheng Nuan was about to pull her clothes back on, she felt Princess Lin’an gently blowing on her wound… She was taken aback for a moment, then broke into a smile.

“You’re not a child anymore. Do you still believe blowing on a wound will make it stop hur—”

Before she could finish, she suddenly stiffened.

A cool, soft sensation brushed across her shoulder blade, and it was unmistakably lips.

Sheng Nuan was wondering if it was just an accidental touch when she suddenly felt a warm, moist sensation…

She quickly spun around in surprise, eyes wide… and saw Princess Lin’an raising a hand to press against the corner of her lips.

“What’s wrong?”

Princess Lin’an’s expression was calm. “Didn’t you tell me that this helps disinfect and numb the pain?”

The stunning beauty raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “Did I do something wrong?”

Sheng Nuan was speechless, her mind a blur. She didn’t notice how Princess Lin’an’s gaze slowly traced down her somewhat exposed collarbone, the light in his eyes dark and ominous, like a wild beast deciding which part to feast upon first…

After a long pause, Sheng Nuan couldn’t help but cautiously ask Princess Lin’an, “Xiaoyu, be honest with your sister… What’s your orientation…?”

The feeling Xiaoyu had just given her just now was far too strange that she couldn’t help but wonder.

She was worried that the little girl might have grown bent, but she also feared that it was just because Xiaoyu was too close to her that it made things feel a bit strange.

Either way, she felt she had to ask. After all, she and Xiaoyu had once relied on each other for survival.

Sheng Nuan spoke seriously, “Don’t lie to me…”

In the next instant, she saw Princess Lin’an smile.

The stunning beauty’s smile sparkled with a mischievous glint as his red lips parted slowly. “Don’t worry, Sister. My orientation… is perfectly normal.”

Princess Lin’an then blinked innocently, as if puzzled. “Why would Sister ask me that all of a sudden?”

Sheng Nuan was stunned for a moment before laughing awkwardly. “No reason, no reason… Just asking casually, that’s all.”

“Oh, I see…”

Princess Lin’an also smiled, his gaze steady and filled with meaning as he looked at Sheng Nuan.
