Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 90

Just as Sheng Nuan and Xiao Dingcheng were severing ties, not far behind her, Bai Chengze was slowly approaching, holding the Immortal Binding Rope in his hand. His eyes glowed with an abnormal scarlet hue.

“Take her back, lock her up. That way… she’ll never be able to leave you again,” a voice sneered in his mind.

In the next instant, another voice immediately interrupted, “No, you can’t do that! If you do this, she’ll only hate you more, push you further away… Have you forgotten how she distanced herself from you last time?”

But the cold, sinister voice scoffed, “So what if she hates you? You’ve been pretending to be gentle and harmless, disciplined and courteous all this time, but what good has it done? Have you forgotten what she said under the truth curse?”

“Who would she save? Whom would she choose? For whom? Three questions… and all three times, her answer was Xiao Dingcheng. What are you still hoping for?”

That’s right. As long as he locked her up, she would never be able to leave again. She would only look at him, stay by his side…

At that moment, he heard the voices of Sheng Nuan and Xiao Dingcheng talking.

Bai Chengze’s footsteps paused slightly as he slowly raised his hand…

But just then, he heard Sheng Nuan say, “I’ve given you the divorce letter. From today onward, our ties are severed, and we shall go our separate ways… That’s all I have to say. Heir Apparent, take care of yourself.”

Bai Chengze was suddenly stunned, the scarlet in his eyes freezing. He fell into a brief daze.

What was she saying?

A divorce letter?

She was divorcing Xiao Dingcheng?

Is… is it true?

Xiao Dingcheng’s hoarse voice trembled. “Nuan Nuan, please don’t do this. I know I was wrong. Please give me another chance, I’m begging you…”

Xiao Dingcheng, who had never asked anyone for help even when the royal manor faced defeat and fell into ruin, now had red, tear-filled eyes, his expression extremely humble. “Nuan Nuan, please don’t do this. I beg you, don’t…”

Sheng Nuan’s heart remained unmoved. “Your Lordship, take care. I won’t be seeing you off.”

With that, she turned and left.

“Nuan Nuan…”

Xiao Dingcheng instinctively wanted to chase after her, but in the next instant, two black-clad figures appeared beside him, holding him firmly on both sides.

“Heir Apparent Xiao, this is not a place you can enter.”

“Let me go! Let me go! Nuan Nuan, Nuan Nuan! Don’t go… Let me go!”

Xiao Dingcheng shouted at the top of his lungs, but Sheng Nuan didn’t look back… The next moment, she suddenly saw Bai Chengze standing there, staring blankly.

Sheng Nuan was stunned for a moment.

Didn’t he say he couldn’t get out of bed?

She took two steps forward and asked, “Why are you out here? Is your dizziness gone?”

Bai Chengze snapped back to reality, blinking. “Oh, not… not too dizzy anymore. Feeling a bit better.”

Sheng Nuan looked at him suspiciously.

Bai Chengze’s eyes darted around, avoiding her gaze, which made her feel even more unsettled. Her eyes slowly fell on his hand hidden behind his back.

“What do you have in your hand?” she asked.

Bai Chengze’s pupils shrank suddenly. He shook his head. “Nothing?”

Sheng Nuan didn’t believe it. “Show me.”

Bai Chengze took a step back. “Really, it’s nothing…”

Before he could finish, she moved swiftly, pinning him against the wall. Facing him, Sheng Nuan smiled mischievously. “Well, well, Bai Xiaoyu, you’ve learned to lie?”

Bai Chengze’s face flushed instantly. Feeling Sheng Nuan’s breath as she spoke, he suddenly felt a bit dizzy… and then Sheng Nuan grabbed his hand and pulled it forward.

Seeing the rope-like object, Sheng Nuan was a little confused. “What’s this?”

Bai Chengze snapped back, his heart pounding. “Just… just a rope.”

Sheng Nuan was even more curious. “What are you doing with a rope?”

“I…”

Bai Chengze suddenly regained his composure and said without hesitation, “I came to measure Sister, so I can make you new clothes.”

Sheng Nuan was a bit taken aback, then saw Bai Chengze earnestly say, “I’m very good at making clothes.”

“Oh,” Sheng Nuan nodded blankly.

Bai Chengze said awkwardly, “Well then… I’ll go make Sister’s clothes now.”

With that, he turned and quickly left, almost fleeing.

Sheng Nuan was even more confused. “What about measuring me?”

Customer service: ……

Customer service couldn’t help but comment: “Host, you were in real danger just now, you know?”

Sheng Nuan: “What do you mean?”

After hearing customer service explain that Bai Chengze was holding the “Immortal Binding Rope,” Sheng Nuan felt both amused and a bit sad.

He’s not foolish, yet he believes in the Immortal Binding Rope from those charlatans…

After a moment’s thought, she walked in the direction Bai Chengze had gone. Soon, she saw Su Lan walking towards her.

“Miss Sheng,” Su Lan was very respectful.

Sheng Nuan nodded. “Su Gugu, where’s Xiaoyu?”

Su Lan’s mouth twitched slightly as she struggled to reply, “The master is… tailoring clothes for the young miss.”

Sheng Nuan almost couldn’t help but laugh.

He was really committed to the act, not forgetting to play his role to the fullest, even coordinating his story with Su Lan…

Meanwhile, Xiao Dingcheng had been thrown outside the manor.

He knocked and pounded on the door, constantly calling for Sheng Nuan, but received no response. After a long time, he dejectedly returned to the Duke of Zhenbei Manor.

The manor had restored its former grandeur and splendor, yet an inexplicable sense of emptiness and coldness lingered.

“Heir Apparent, you’re back.”

Instinctively, Xue Nan glanced behind Xiao Dingcheng. “Why don’t I see Lady Sheng?”

Xiao Dingcheng’s eyelashes trembled slightly. He said nothing.

He walked around the corridor, passed through the garden, and then saw the pavilion by the lake… In that instant, he suddenly saw Sheng Nuan holding a paintbrush, smiling and waving at him. “Husband, come here quickly!”

Xiao Dingcheng subconsciously stepped forward, but as he took a step, the figure vanished… He froze in place.

From the main hall came the sound of weeping.

Lowering his head, Xiao Dingcheng walked toward it… it was his father’s mourning hall.

The mourning hall was draped with white and plain cloth. Servants knelt there, and colleagues from the court had come to pay their respects, wailing loudly.

Xiao Dingcheng watched expressionlessly, his heart numb.

A few days ago, they had no friends or relatives… His entire family, along with his father’s coffin, had been humiliated and trampled upon. Only that slender figure stood alone with a sword in front of them.

When the manor faced disaster, he, the so-called Heir Apparent who had never faced hardship, couldn’t shoulder the burden. He even lost his mother’s bracelet and hid in a corner, not daring to go home… It was she who came to him and said, “Stand up.”

It was also she who, during the most difficult times, helped him hold the family together, helped him stand up, climb out of the abyss…

She even risked herself as bait to protect his grandmother and mother. But what did he do? Once again, he chose Liu Rumian over her.

What was he thinking then? He believed she was skilled, had martial arts, so she could save herself… She had always been strong before him, so he thought she would never need protection.

She had risked her life for him, faced hardships together, stood by his side through life and death. Yet he… had never once firmly chosen her!

She was right. People don’t stay in the abyss forever. He had climbed out, but… she was going to leave.

At that moment, a voice sounded behind him.

“Your Lordship.”

Xiao Dingcheng turned around expressionlessly and saw Liu Rumian who was dressed lavishly.

In just a few days after returning to the manor, Liu Rumian’s complexion had greatly improved, no longer showing the pallor from their previous hardships… She smiled gently, “The Heir Apparent is back. What would you like to eat today? I’ll have the kitchen prepare it.”

“No need.”

Xiao Dingcheng said, “Come to the study later, I have something to tell you.”

After speaking those few words, he turned and left.

Liu Rumian was momentarily taken aback, and then a bright light suddenly welled up in her eyes…

Discussing matters in the study meant it was important. What could be important to her right now? So… was he going to make her the Heir Apparent’s consort?

Becoming the Heir Apparent’s consort now meant she would soon be the Princess Consort.

Gently caressing her slightly swollen belly, Liu Rumian’s eyes were full of joy.

She had finally waited for this day…
