Transmigrated Into a Book: The Villain I Raised Is Plotting Against Me! - Chapter 5

Xia Qian wore a peach-pink lace dress, with lace trimming around her waist. She also wore a pink sun hat, making her look just like an adorable peach.

Her big, bright eyes were full of anticipation, and her slightly pursed cherry lips and innocent expression made her even more likable.

Xia Qian initially didn’t want to go because Summer Paradise sounded like a place where she’d be exposed to the scorching sun. 

Being someone who cared about her appearance, she didn’t want her skin, which had finally become as fair as Mu Suru’s milky-white complexion, to get tanned!

But for some reason, she had an inner prompting: she must go to Summer Paradise! 

It felt like something very important was waiting for her there, something crucial for her future!

This thought had driven Xia Qian to get up early in the morning. But… after waiting for an hour, the delicate little princess still hadn’t come down!

Even though Xia Qian was good at hiding her facial expressions, she couldn’t escape the sharp eyes of Mu Chen. 

He clearly saw the trace of resentment on her face.

Heh, as expected, she’s still too young and inexperienced!

When they were at the orphanage, Mu Chen had already seen through the greed in this seemingly pure girl’s eyes. 

If it weren’t for Ru Tuan insisting on keeping her, he wouldn’t have let her stay until now.

After six months of pretending, she’s finally showing her true colors! 

I must find a way to make Ru Tuan realize this girl’s malicious nature!

A glint of sharpness flashed in Mu Chen’s eyes, hidden behind his golden-rimmed glasses.

Mu An cheerfully said to Xia Qian, “Qian’er, don’t be too anxious, we still have time. Ru Tuan will be down soon!”

Apparently, Mu An had forgotten who was responsible for Ru Tuan’s injury yesterday, assuming it was just an accident.

At this moment, a figure in green suddenly appeared at the top of the stairs. 

Mu Suru was wearing a green dress, without much embellishment, only a snow-white rabbit embroidered on it, lively and cute. 

It formed a stark contrast with Xia Qian’s more ornate lace decorations.

Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, with loose strands framing her forehead, making her delicate little face appear even smaller. 

She also wore a pale yellow pastoral sun hat, looking refreshingly cute and lifting everyone’s spirits.

Seeing Mu Suru, who seemed to radiate light, Xia Qian couldn’t help but clench her dress tightly.

Mu Chen’s usually stern mask cracked slightly as he smiled and picked up Mu Suru as she descended the stairs. “Our Ru Tuan is the cutest little princess!”

Mu Suru felt her face heat up, enough to cook an egg, and said, “You guys are the most handsome!”

Mu Chen and Mu An both couldn’t help but laugh. Mu An then volunteered to carry Mu Suru’s small backpack, while Mu Chen handed her a sandwich from the tray.

“Ru Tuan, eat something first. Summer Paradise is still a bit far, and if you don’t eat anything, your little tummy will get hungry!”

Mu Suru took the sandwich and began eating happily. She glanced at Xia Qian’s jealous face out of the corner of her eye, making the food taste even better.

“Alright, let’s go!”

Mu Chen wiped the cream off Mu Suru’s lips, then carried her to a Maserati. He opened the door and let Mu Suru sit by the window, with Xia Qian next to her.

The car started moving, the scenery outside began to change, and Mu Suru watched until she felt sleepy. She then began to lean to the left, suddenly bumping her head heavily on Xia Qian’s shoulder.

It was like being hit a thousand times over, and Xia Qian was in agony but didn’t dare push away the little princess for fear that Mu Chen might see. 

Helpless, Xia Qian could only let Mu Suru rest her head on her shoulder.

Mu Suru’s lips curled into a mischievous smile; she had done it on purpose, of course! 

Gradually, she fell asleep.

“Ru Tuan, wake up, we’ve arrived at Summer Paradise!”

The deep, pleasant voice was mesmerizing. 

Mu Suru opened her eyes, and the blurry scene before her slowly became clear, leaving her amazed. 

The entire garden was in full bloom, with a sea of flowers she couldn’t name.

Pink petals fluttered down, creating a breathtaking sight. 

The air was filled with a sweet floral fragrance.

Before she realized it, Mu Chen had already carried her out of the car. He affectionately tapped her small nose, “What’s wrong? Suru, are you stunned by the beauty?”

Mu Suru nodded vigorously, her round face flushed with excitement, making her irresistibly adorable. At that moment, she noticed Xia Qian clutching her shoulder with an uncomfortable expression.

Mu Suru squinted and saw that Xia Qian’s shoulder was damp. Comparing it to her own right shoulder, Mu Suru fell silent.

It wasn’t me! It definitely wasn’t me! I’m a big girl now, how could I drool!?

【 Blackening Value +5… +1 】

【 Current Villain Ren Zai Blackening Value: 16 】

Listening to the rising blackening value, Mu Suru had no idea how the little villain was faring… but it was probably not good. 

Xia Qian only discovered the little villain on the third night. 

But who knows if the plot will go off track; she must stick close to Xia Qian!

With that thought, Mu Suru’s almond-shaped eyes fixed intently on the figure ahead, moving farther away. 

Xia Qian, holding her sore shoulder, felt the dampness and was naturally in a foul mood.

Suddenly, Xia Qian shuddered, the feeling of being watched made her hair stand on end. She instinctively looked around, thinking she must be imagining things!

There were two small paths in the garden, one leading straight to the sea of flowers, the other to the fields where crops were grown. 

As they walked, they saw many hired farmers hard at work, and the tomatoes, eggplants, and other vegetables were thriving. 

The green grass, blue sky, and rural atmosphere were captivating.

The original owner’s parents had built their wealth from scratch, and when they were still farmers, the original owner loved this scenery. 

So, after gaining wealth, they bought this land and renamed it Summer Paradise, making it a private retreat for their daughter.

In the distance, a small corner hidden by towering trees came into view, and as they approached, they saw it was their wooden cabin. 

Though it looked simple from the outside, it was made entirely of sandalwood.

Since it was already two in the afternoon, past lunchtime, they decided to drop off their luggage and go see the sea of flowers.

“Ru Tuan, shall we go see the flower field you’ve been dreaming of now?”

Mu Chen ruffled Mu Suru’s little head, his eyes filled with an overwhelming tenderness. Mu Suru widened her big, round eyes and was about to agree when she saw Xia Qian’s troubled expression as if she wanted to say something.

So she softly said, “Let’s ask sister first!”

Caught off guard, Xia Qian’s heart raced. 

The words she had painstakingly prepared slipped her mind at that moment. She swallowed and stammered, “Brother Mu Chen, can I not go see it?”

Ren Zai frowned but was interrupted before he could speak. 

“Qian’er must be tired. Let her rest for a while, we can go first!”

Mu An, feeling hot and bothered, roughly unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his fair and delicately enticing collarbone. 

Sunlight filtered through the branches above the eaves, casting a soft glow on Mu An’s almost translucent pale face, making him appear even more gentle and refined.

Xia Qian looked at Mu An gratefully, her beautiful eyes misty with tears, evoking pity. 

Mu Suru, however, felt a chill. In the original story, her second brother Mu An had fallen in love with Xia Qian when she was 16, then sacrificed everything for her, ultimately opposing the male lead Yao Yuan.

T/n: pdf file??? 

Yao Yuan then orchestrated a car accident that ruined Mu An’s life. 

Seeing Mu An’s flushed face and shifty eyes now, it was clear he already had feelings for Xia Qian, though he probably still saw her as a little sister, given her young age.

But if Xia Qian blossoms into a beauty, the trope of falling in love, at first sight, will inevitably pull her second brother in!

T/n: nah I’m just questioning now what tf is happening XD. I’m not sure how old Mu An is since there’s not much context except that he is younger than Mu Chen.
