Quick Transmigration: The Sweetheart Everyone Loves Is Stuck in Romantic Chaos Every Day - Chapter 98

“What’s this? Sugar, you’ve just finished using me, and now you’re going to toss me aside?”

Used me— the way he said it carried an undeniably suggestive tone.

Ruan Tang’s cheeks flushed red, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

“Just now… thank you, Teacher.”

Gu Ming stepped closer, his long, slender fingers pinching her delicate chin to lift her face.

She had just finished showering. Her skin was still warm and faintly misted with steam, carrying the fragrance of her body wash.

Her damp hair was loosely tied at the back, with a few strands falling down, water droplets sliding along her slender neck, tracing her fine collarbone, and disappearing into the deep shadows of her bathrobe.

Gu Ming’s Adam’s apple bobbed. His gaze darkened.

The bathrobe was far too loose—on her, it only made her look more alluring.

His breath grew heavy as he leaned down, voice low against her ear.

“If you really want to thank me… just saying it isn’t enough.”

Ruan Tang blinked her watery peach-blossom eyes, suddenly enlightened.

“Oh, that’s right.”

This time it was Gu Ming’s turn to freeze.

Was she… agreeing?

But in the very next second, the girl pushed him away and hurried to her bag.

She pulled out her wallet, extracted a thick stack of bills, and handed them to him with a sweet, obedient smile.

“Here! Thank you, Teacher!”

Gu Ming: “………………”

If anyone else had seen this scene, they would’ve thought he was working in a very special industry.

He pinched his brows helplessly. Forget it—this clueless little idiot had no idea.

“Not money. Next time, just have a meal with me as thanks.”

Ruan Tang tilted her head in confusion.

He didn’t want money… he wanted to eat a meal?

This stack of bills could buy so many meals! How silly.

Still, she didn’t press the issue.

Once she was done with Gu Ming, she immediately turned her attention back to her task.

She didn’t even bother avoiding him, but instead pulled out her phone right in front of him and dialed Lu He.

“Good morning, Senior Lu He. About the book you lent me, can I return it tomorrow?”

Gu Ming frowned, irritation prickling in his chest as he watched her call another man.

But her voice was so calm, her words so proper—nothing sounded remotely romantic—so he restrained himself.

Until—

“Oh, and one more thing, Senior Lu He. Would you like to date me?”

Ruan Tang’s tone was so breezy, it was like she was commenting on the weather: “Nice day, isn’t it?”

But the words themselves landed like a bomb.

Crack.

Gu Ming snapped the pen in his hand clean in half.

His eyes turned icy, terrifyingly cold.

She was really confessing to another man—while he was standing right here?

Was it that she didn’t take him seriously at all? Or that she simply didn’t see him as a threat?

Ruan Tang, utterly oblivious, hadn’t realized she’d just painted a giant target on herself.

She only smiled brighter at Lu He’s excited voice over the line.

“Okay, Senior. I’m at…”

She paused, suddenly realizing—where was she right now?

She turned toward Gu Ming, her glimmering eyes asking silently for help.

Gu Ming almost laughed in fury. Now she remembered him?

Deliberately raising his voice so Lu He could hear, he said curtly:

“She’s at a hotel. With me. We booked a room together.”

On the other end, Lu He’s voice spiked with agitation, so loud Ruan Tang had to hold the phone away. She was about to explain—

When Gu Ming snatched the phone straight from her hand.

His face was expressionless as he ended the call and slid the phone into his suit pocket.

“Teacher Gu?”

Ruan Tang stared at him in surprise.

Without his usual smile, Gu Ming looked sharp, remote, impossible to approach.

But when his eyes locked on her, they burned with wild obsession, as if he wanted to swallow her whole, fuse her into his very bones.

Feeling his stare, Ruan Tang shrank back, timidly whispering:

“Teacher Gu, what’s wrong…?”

Gu Ming let out a short laugh, though it was more anger than amusement. He stepped closer.

“Nothing. I’ve just decided I don’t want to pretend anymore.”

He had intended to act the part of a kind, patient teacher—approaching her step by step.

But clearly, Ruan Tang wasn’t going to give him that chance.

If he waited any longer, she’d just keep piling up new rivals for him.

He advanced on her, catching her chin between his fingers.

Leaning close, he lowered his voice, the same husky tone he had used in the darkness when he’d cornered her before.

“Be good. Don’t fight me. Otherwise, you know what will happen.”

As he spoke, his hand brushed her waist in an unmistakably intimate way.

Ruan Tang’s body went weak, her eyes going wide in shock.

So… the stalker was Teacher Gu?!

Her peach-blossom eyes widened further.

“It was you—”

Gu Ming gave a bitter smile and admitted without hesitation:

“Yes. That twisted stalker who kept cornering you—it was me. Scared now? Do you hate me?”

He was certain she would. He knew how far he’d already crossed the line.

But if it was a choice between being hated or being ignored… he would rather she hated him.

As long as her beautiful eyes reflected his shadow, he would accept any cost.

Swallowing down the bitterness, his voice went hoarse as he confessed:

“Sugar, I like you.”

He hadn’t hoped for anything. He had already braced himself for her rejection, prepared to be despised.

But instead—

Ruan Tang flung herself straight into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck, eyes shining.

“So you like me!”

If Gu Ming liked her, then his affection level must already be high. That meant her mission was progressing smoothly!

Thrilled by the sudden advancement, Ruan Tang couldn’t hold back her joy. She even tipped her head up to plant a quick kiss on his chin, smiling until her eyes curved like crescents.

“You should’ve just said so! No need to sneak around—if you want to kiss me, just do it openly! Silly.”

For the first time, Gu Ming looked completely stunned.

Was this a dream?

But the soft warmth on his chin was too real.

Ecstasy surged through him. He crushed her into his arms, his voice trembling with disbelief.

“Sugar, you… you’re willing—?”

Ruan Tang nodded brightly. “Of course I’m willing!”

At the same time, she urged her system in her heart:

【System, we haven’t switched targets yet, right? Quick, quick! Change it to Gu Ming first!】

The system was half exasperated, half amused.

This silly girl—she was getting better and better at being a scumbag without even realizing it.

She herself remained guileless and innocent, never thinking of rules or social norms—doing all this purely for the mission.

But that very contrast, between her unknowing purity and her unintentional “scumbag” behavior, made it all the more captivating.

It seemed the world he had chosen really was bringing out Ruan Tang’s hidden potential.

…Except—if those four men ever found out—

The system shivered, a chill running down its nonexistent spine.

No, no, impossible. Each world resets their memories. They only awaken after Ruan Tang leaves, and follow her to the next. There’s no way they’ll know the truth of the missions. None at all.
