Quick Transmigration: The Sweetheart Everyone Loves Is Stuck in Romantic Chaos Every Day - Chapter 132

Lang Jin stared blankly at her.

Clearly, she was supposed to be spitting out sharp, vicious words—but instead, the girl looked like she was about to burst into tears from shyness.

Her peach blossom eyes shimmered with unshed tears, lips like cherry petals bitten tightly by her white teeth, carrying a breath of intoxicating allure.

Lang Jin’s Adam’s apple bobbed hard.

His voice came out hoarse and rough.

“How does the young miss… want to punish me?”

Shockingly, there was even a trace of expectation in his tone.

Ruan Tang was so mortified she wished she could dig a hole and bury herself in it.

Her face flushed bright red, and she bolted.

Just before darting out of the room, she remembered something, fumbled inside her sleeves, and threw a jumble of items at him.

Her voice was still that soft, sticky “fierce.”

“F-First treat your wounds… o-or else… the young miss won’t have anywhere to start punishing!”

Lang Jin lowered his head to see the bandages and medicine bottles scattered across the floor, then raised his gaze again toward the small figure scurrying away.

His eyes gleamed strangely.

His heart pounded wildly.

At the same time, in front of the surveillance screens, Ruan Chen frowned in displeasure.

On a sofa to the side lounged a handsome young man, his posture casual.

An expensive, well-fitted suit framed his tall figure; his slightly upturned fox-like eyes carried a dangerous edge.

He watched the girl on the screen as she ran clumsily, nearly tripping, lips curving with faint amusement.

“Ruan Chen, your little sister is really cute.”

Ruan Chen’s gaze slid toward him, icy and cold.

“Cute or not, she’s not someone you can touch.”

The fox-eyed man only deepened his smile. His slender fingers tapped against his lips in deliberate rhythm.

“We’re partners, aren’t we? Why not seal it with a marriage alliance? If your sister doesn’t want to marry into my family, I don’t mind marrying into yours instead.”

The assistant standing nearby gaped in shock.

His boss had lost his mind?!

This was Hu Yan—youngest head of the Hu family—and he wanted to marry into the Ruan family?!

The family elders would probably faint from rage on the spot if they ever heard this.

But—

Ruan Chen only looked at him with open disdain.

“Hu Yan, there’s a saying—‘a toad wanting to eat swan meat.’ It suits you well.”
(t/n: “toad wanting to eat swan meat” is a Chinese idiom for someone reaching far above their station, usually in romance.)

Hu Yan chuckled.

“Brother-in-law, your tongue is sharp.”

Expressionless, Ruan Chen drew a sharp dagger from his sleeve and pointed it straight between Hu Yan’s legs.

“Call me that again, and I’ll cripple your favorite tool right here.”

Hu Yan’s narrow eyes narrowed further. Calmly, he pushed the blade aside and rose to his feet.

“I’ll take a walk. If there are any collaboration details, discuss them with my assistant.”

Assistant: ??? I didn’t sign up for this. I thought I just had to stand here and look presentable?!

In the rose garden—

Ruan Tang squatted listlessly in a corner, poking at a blooming rose with her pale fingers.

Her soft voice was filled with grievance.

“Why does the mission have to be bullying… I really don’t know how… wuwu…”

After all her effort just now—

Instead of rising, Lang Jin’s corruption value had actually dropped by 10 points.

The system was on the verge of bursting from laughter.

【It’s fine… Tang Tang, take it slow, no rush. Failure is the mother of… pffft—sorry, sorry, I wasn’t laughing at you, I just suddenly remembered something funny…】

Ruan Tang drooped her little head even lower.

【Wuwu…】

Suddenly, a long-fingered hand reached over, wrapping her tiny hand into its palm.

“Careful, Tang Tang, these roses have thorns.”

Her peach blossom eyes widened slightly in surprise.

At some point, a sharply dressed, impossibly handsome man had appeared at her side.

His fox-like eyes glimmered with seductive charm, a smile lingering at his lips as he looked at her with undivided attention.

Startled, Ruan Tang jerked her hand free, her face burning red—only to lose her balance and fall toward the flowerbed.

In the next instant, she was caught and drawn firmly into the man’s embrace.

His strong arm wrapped around her slender waist.

He inhaled her sweet fragrance, his heartbeat quickening.

The girl’s red lips and snowy skin were a hundred times more beautiful than the roses in bloom.

“P-Please… let me go…”

Ruan Tang’s delicate face was dusted pink.

Hu Yan was entranced. After a beat, he finally loosened his hold.

“My apologies.”

Ruan Tang studied him curiously.

“Who are you? And how do you know my name?”

“I’m Hu Yan, your brother’s business partner.”

The system chimed in at just the right time.

【Tang Tang, this man is the final boss of this world—the male lead’s greatest enemy!】

Ruan Tang tilted her head, thoughtful.

【So… that means he’s like me, also here to make trouble for the male lead?】

【Exactly! That’s right!】

【Then what’s his ending?】

【Ehhh… the same as yours. Both of you will eventually be captured by the fully blackened male lead and tortured to death. But don’t worry, Tang Tang! We’ll shield your pain receptors and provide soul protection. You won’t feel a thing!】

Still, Ruan Tang turned pale with fear.

When she looked at Hu Yan again, her eyes were filled with deep sympathy and shared fate.

Hu Yan froze, then gave a helpless smile.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face?”

He had never doubted his looks before—but this was the first time anyone had gazed at him with “sympathy” and even “pity.”

And from such a sweet, soft, pitiful little girl.

It was… oddly endearing.

Ruan Tang tiptoed, stretching out her arm to pat his shoulder.

“Your sacrifice is meaningful! Let’s work hard together!”

Hu Yan’s smile stiffened. “…”

Where had this gone wrong?

How had she already concluded he would “sacrifice himself” the very first time they met?

Having finished “comforting” him, Ruan Tang suddenly thought—since he was the big boss, surely his skills at bullying must be way higher than hers, this pitiful villainess!

Wouldn’t that make him the perfect senior for her to learn from?

Her eyes lit up like stars as she looked at him.

“Brother Hu Yan, can I take you as my teacher?”

Hu Yan couldn’t hold back his laugh.

What went on inside this little thing’s head?

But hearing her soft, milky voice call him “Brother Hu Yan”… he found he quite liked it.

“Of course. Whatever Tang Tang wants to learn, your teacher can teach you.”

Ruan Tang immediately grew earnest.

“Please teach me—how to bully someone properly!”

Hu Yan blinked.

Then, slowly, the corners of his lips curved into a meaningful smile.

“So Tang Tang wants to learn how to bully others… you’ve come to the right man.”

He leaned down, bringing his lips close to her ear, his voice dropping low and ambiguous.

“I can start teaching you… right now.”
