Quick Transmigration: The Sweetheart Everyone Loves Is Stuck in Romantic Chaos Every Day - Chapter 96

Chi Zheng realized he was only making things worse for himself and clicked his tongue in frustration.

“Anyway, we’re not going to do anything to her!”

But just then, Ruan Tang started acting tipsy again.

She slipped free from the two men, staggering to the front desk and leaning heavily against it. Her eyes were hazy with drunken charm, and she giggled foolishly at the receptionist.

“Jiejie, you’re so pretty. Tangtang really likes you. Do you want to come play with us?”

What she meant by play was literally just games.

But in such an ambiguous atmosphere, the words easily took on a far different implication.

The receptionist’s cheeks instantly flushed, and the way she looked at Ruan Tang became complicated.

So she’d misunderstood!

This sweet, soft, innocent-looking girl… turned out to be this wild?!

The contrast was killing her!

Ruan Tang’s misty peach blossom eyes lingered on her, and the receptionist’s heart began pounding faster. Before she could even open her mouth to decline, Ruan Tang was yanked back by the two men at her side.

They both shot her a glare—clear warning written in their eyes.

The receptionist didn’t dare say another word.

But when she looked at Ruan Tang again, her gaze was full of awe.

—She couldn’t help wondering if this delicate young lady would even be able to get out of bed tomorrow…

After carefully laying Ruan Tang down on the bed, Chi Zheng clicked his tongue in irritation.

“That receptionist definitely misunderstood. If she spreads nonsense outside—”

The reason the two men had come together in the first place was pure distrust. Each worried the other might try something with Ruan Tang, so they decided to bring her along together, keeping watch over one another. That way, neither could take advantage.

“Doesn’t matter. This hotel belongs to my family. I’ll make sure she keeps her mouth shut.”

Gu Ming slipped off his suit jacket and tugged open the top two buttons of his shirt.

Chi Zheng eyed him warily.

“The hell are you taking your clothes off for!”

Gu Ming raised a brow at him, looking genuinely puzzled.

“To shower, obviously. This is my room. Since I’m already here, I may as well use it. What, you want to join me?”

Chi Zheng’s face twisted with disgust.

“Get lost!”

Gu Ming’s lips curved in a smile, warm as spring breeze.

“The suite has more than one bathroom. I suggest you take a shower too.”

His tone sharpened slightly.

“Otherwise, who knows what I might do to Ruan Tang while you’re gone?”

Chi Zheng froze.

Damn… that made way too much sense!

He had to admit, this top student’s brain really did work faster than his own.

Annoying.

But unwilling to admit defeat, he snapped stubbornly, “Then I just won’t shower tonight!”

At that moment, Ruan Tang sat up on the bed. Her dress collar had slipped to one side, exposing a smooth, white shoulder and the delicate line of her collarbone.

She hiccupped softly, her face flushed scarlet, eyes hazy as she smiled sweetly.

“Whatever you’re playing, Tangtang wants to join too…”

Gulp.

Chi Zheng swallowed hard.

The hotel room’s lighting was warm and dim, casting a soft glow over her delicate form, as though she were veiled in a tender filter.

Her skirt was rumpled, her posture careless as she sat on the wide bed, slim legs slightly parted beneath the hem.

The sight hit him like a blow.

At that moment, he had to admit—thank goodness Gu Ming was also here. Otherwise, he might really have done something beastly.

Gu Ming shifted smoothly, positioning himself between Ruan Tang and Chi Zheng, blocking that greedy stare.

He shot Chi Zheng a mocking glance.

“Guess that means you really do need to shower.”

Chi Zheng turned away in embarrassment, hurriedly grabbing a bathrobe and storming into the bathroom.

But halfway there, he hesitated and glanced back.

Gu Ming was leaning down, speaking to Ruan Tang in a low, gentle voice.

“Be good, Tangtang. Play for a little while by yourself. I’ll come back after my shower.”

Chi Zheng’s brows knit tight. Watching Gu Ming pick up his change of clothes and head for the second bathroom, he finally turned and went into his own.

As water started running behind the closed door, Gu Ming’s lips curled coldly. He strode back to the bed.

Ruan Tang had already collapsed again, fast asleep.

Her unguarded face was sweet enough to tempt anyone.

Gu Ming lifted her chin and pressed his mouth to hers without hesitation.

Just like that day in his office window, just like at the school gates when he’d seen them kissing—

He claimed her lips with the same rough, domineering kiss, taking in her softness and sweetness.

Ever since he’d witnessed that scene, he’d wanted to do this.

Ruan Tang was too disobedient.

No matter how he threatened, she never yielded.

Was she unafraid of him?

Or… did she like Chi Zheng too much?

Jealousy and madness burned in his eyes. He seized her pale hand, pinning it to the bed as he deepened the kiss.

His teeth grazed her necklace, tugging it loose and exposing the marks already left on her skin from the day.

He bit down again, leaving fresh ones on top of the old.

The thought of Chi Zheng, oblivious in the bathroom nearby, only stoked his sense of revenge—and the wild thrill of having Ruan Tang all to himself.

One day, he would take her away.

Absolutely.

Chi Zheng, never at ease, took the fastest shower of his life. He didn’t even dry himself properly, just threw on a bathrobe and rushed out.

Ruan Tang was curled up on the bed, sleeping soundly like a little kitten, dark hair spilling over her shoulders, half her soft face peeking out.

Seeing nothing amiss, he exhaled in relief.

But then his thoughts began to wander again.

Noticing Gu Ming was still in the bathroom, he crept closer, leaning down, about to steal a kiss.

Click.

The bathroom door swung open at the perfect moment.

Gu Ming walked out in a robe, towel drying his damp hair.

Chi Zheng stiffened, then dropped onto the sofa, pretending to fiddle idly with a decorative trinket, trying to look casual.

Damn it. He was Ruan Tang’s boyfriend! Why did kissing her feel like sneaking around like a thief?

It was all Gu Ming’s fault!

His glare toward Gu Ming was full of open contempt.

Water still dripped from Gu Ming’s hair, dark strands framing sharp brows and eyes, giving him a colder, sterner look.

“That was fast. You didn’t try anything with her while I was gone, did you?”

Chi Zheng snorted. “I’m not that shameless!”

Though inwardly… a little guilty.

Didn’t kiss her yet, so it doesn’t count!

Gu Ming’s lips curved faintly, as though he saw straight through him.

“Good.”

The next morning, Ruan Tang woke to a ticklish sensation at her lips.

Blinking groggily, the first thing she saw was Chi Zheng’s handsome face up close, his tiger tooth tugging playfully at her lower lip as he gazed at her.

“Morning, babe.”

He gave her a roguish grin and leaned in for another kiss—

Only to be shoved hard, sent tumbling to the floor.

Gu Ming shook his hand in distaste, as though brushing off filth. His cold eyes were full of fury.

“Can’t keep your hands to yourself for one second? You’ll get what’s coming.”

Chi Zheng’s face darkened as he scrambled up.

“Ruan Tang is my girlfriend! If I want to kiss her, I will! Who the hell are you to interfere?!”

With that, he lunged, grabbing Gu Ming by the collar and ready to swing.

This time, whether from provocation or sheer fury, Gu Ming didn’t dodge. His eyes burned red as he struck back blow for blow.
