Quick Transmigration: The Sweetheart Everyone Loves Is Stuck in Romantic Chaos Every Day - Chapter 171

At the same time, in the CEO’s office.

Wen Yan’s expression was dark as he stared at the shattered remains of his phone.

He was never the impulsive type.

But once something involved Ruan Tang, he couldn’t help losing control.

That boy’s lazy, taunting declaration just now had made it impossible for him to contain his jealousy.

The rational part of him knew—if he calmed down, he could easily see through the other party’s clumsy little trick.

And yet, a deep unease still gnawed at him.

What if that boy had been telling the truth?

The truth was, he knew nothing about Ruan Tang.

Who was around her? What kind of past relationships did she have? What kind of man did she like?

He didn’t even know if she had a boyfriend right now.

That was why he couldn’t calm down.

He was terrified that the boy’s words might be real.

He had indeed heard the faint sound of a blow dryer on the other end of the call.

Could it be…

Wen Yan’s sharp, handsome features were cast in shadow, a cold edge hidden within them.

Even if she really had a boyfriend, he would never give up.

A week later, five in the morning.

At YRN’s team training base.

Lu Ren yawned as he stumbled out to use the restroom. Passing by the training room, he caught sight of someone still sitting at the desk.

The dim blue glow of a phone screen illuminated a chiseled, handsome face. At first glance, it was downright creepy.

“Holy crap! Yan-ge?! At this hour… you haven’t slept yet, or you got up insanely early?!”

Yan Ri was still on the Duel app, the screen frozen on the champion selection interface.

His eyes were fixed, his arrogant, striking profile steeped in an uncharacteristic melancholy.

“Haven’t slept.”

His voice was hoarse, faint bloodshot lines visible in his eyes.

That sobered Lu Ren right up.

“Is it because of the upcoming match?”

But with Yan-ge’s skill level, there was no need to push himself like this.

“No.”

Yan Ri stared at the screen, gaze unwavering.

“I’m looking for someone.”

He had sent multiple friend requests afterward, but that soft, obedient-voiced girl still hadn’t accepted.

So he could only rely on the most primitive method—queue up in ranked and hope to match with her.

Their ranks were close, both at the top tier of Duel.

That meant the player pool was small enough that the chance of encountering each other was slightly higher.

For days he had played ranked matches around the clock, but not once had he met that girl with the ID 【Yan】.

He wouldn’t give up.

Sitting alone in the darkness, his eyes burned with unshakable determination.

That evening at eight, Ruan Tang started her stream right on schedule.

After days of effort, she had pushed her account to a solid rank.

Tonight, she planned to broadcast her ranked games.

【Holy crap! TangTang’s rank shot up so fast! In just one week, she’s climbing at the pace I grind for in a whole year!!!】

【Did you see her stats? That win rate could blind a man!】

【TangTang spoils us too much. We casually mentioned wanting to see her play Duel, and she actually made a new account and grinded rank for us. I’m crying.】

【Yeah, even if she wins a lot, playing that many matches in one week has to be exhausting.】

Ruan Tang’s soft, sweet voice flowed into the stream.

“It’s not tiring. I really like this game too! Thank you for recommending it—otherwise I would’ve missed out on something so fun!”

Her fans were moved beyond words.

One gift shower followed another, to the point Ruan Tang couldn’t even stop them.

The biggest spender was still Wen Yan.

He threw in another hundred thousand, then sent a highlighted message.

【TangTang, carry me in ranked ,,Ծ‸Ծ,,】

The chat instantly exploded.

【Holy crap! Who can resist a tycoon acting spoiled like this?!】

【Unfair!!! Totally unfair!!!】

【I want TangTang to carry me too ,,Ծ‸Ծ,,】

【I’m dying of laughter. Big Boss begging for a carry, all for love!】

More and more started shipping them.

【WenTang CP locked in!!!】

【Soft-voiced goddess streamer × wealthy boss who spends fortunes just to make her smile. I can’t handle it!】

【This is insane—we came for the game and ended up watching a romcom for free!】

Seeing the whole chat push for it, Ruan Tang agreed to let Wen Yan join her team.

As soon as he entered, he turned on his mic.

His deep, magnetic baritone filled the channel.

“TangTang…”

He said her name with such intensity, yet didn’t follow up with anything.

Ruan Tang tilted her head, softly answering, “Hm? What’s wrong, Ah-Yan?”

Wearing his headset, Wen Yan felt that gentle “Ah-Yan” like it was whispered directly against his ear.

Like a lover’s murmur, it sent tingles straight to his bones.

His sharp, refined face flushed with a rare, unnatural blush.

Just then, his secretary knocked at the office door.

The secretary had long grown used to his boss’s workaholic tendencies. He knocked, then pushed the door open with a pile of documents in hand.

His tone brisk, businesslike.

“President Wen, everyone’s assembled. Should we begin the meeting? Also, these documents are urgent and may need your review afterward—”

He stopped mid-sentence.

Because his “workaholic” boss wasn’t at his desk.

Instead, there he was, perfectly tailored suit and all, sitting on the sofa, headphones on, cradling a phone.

On-screen were the bright, flashing colors of a game.

The secretary’s first reaction: Had he walked into the wrong office?

He backpedaled, glanced at the nameplate on the door.

Nope—CEO’s office.

President Wen… playing video games on the clock?!!

The secretary’s face twisted in disbelief.

Wen Yan, on the other hand, remained perfectly calm.

He raised his eyes lazily.

“Put the documents on the desk.”

The secretary, stunned, hurried to comply. He hesitated, then cautiously asked,

“And the board meeting…?”

This time Wen Yan didn’t even look up.

His lips parted, voice low and commanding.

“Postpone it until tomorrow.”

“?!!!”

The secretary nearly dropped dead on the spot.

Unbelievable! The big boss, the top executive—delaying a board meeting… just to play a game!!!

Since when did President Wen sink this deep into gaming addiction?!

Because Wen Yan’s mic was on, the entire exchange was broadcast live.

【I’m wheezing—cold CEO instantly exposed as a gaming addict.】

【Addicted? Please. He’s addicted to our TangTang!】

【If you don’t ship them after this, you’re not human!!!】

【Somebody kill me now, this couple is too much!】

After that little interlude, they finally started the match.

Since Gu Leng had been busy the past few days, Wen Yan secured the only support role.

They played two games together. As always, Ruan Tang carried the team, while Wen Yan stayed glued to her side, shielding her every step.

Their coordination grew more and more seamless.

Wen Yan’s smile lingered the whole time, savoring their little two-person world.

But it didn’t last long.

Because in the third match—

They ran into an all-too-familiar ID.

——【Yan Ri】.
