Achieving A Happy Ending With The Tragic Female Lead [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 59.1

Thus, another wave of heat hit her lips. Unlike the previous light touch, this one lasted longer. Before pulling away, there was a faint, glistening trail on their lips.

“Last chance,” Su Mi coaxed.

But just as Lin Nanyue opened her mouth to speak, she was pressed back. A certain person’s “dictatorial” verdict whispered in her ear:

“Too late.”

Su Mi’s long, cool fingers rested on the side of Lin Nanyue’s neck, making her tilt her head back. Her tongue slipped past the seam of her lips, engaging in a tangle that felt like a genuine “inspection.”

Lin Nanyue’s breathing became rapid. She tried to chase back, but Su Mi slipped away every time. Su Mi was like a patient hunter, luring her target closer, only biting down when the moment was right, making her unable to escape and drowning her in the sensation.

Lin Nanyue faintly tasted the lingering red wine, a mellow, sweet flavor that made her crave more. The generous hunter gave her what she wanted, only reluctantly letting go after a long while.

Before fully pulling away, Su Mi kissed her eyes.

Lin Nanyue, who had nowhere to hide, leaned her head back. Her lips were wet and red, and her eyes were misty. She blushed and said indignantly, “…You’re cheating.”

Su Mi smiled. “You’re welcome to report me.”

“Report you to who? To you? Wouldn’t that be like asking the thief to catch the thief?” Lin Nanyue felt she wasn’t that stupid.

“You can report me at my house,” Su Mi said, stroking her neck. “My mother happens to want to see what kind of ‘little kid’ I’ve kidnapped.”

Lin Nanyue’s eyes widened. “See your… mother?”

She thought Su Mi had been joking earlier, but now she was genuinely nervous.

“Don’t worry. If you don’t want to go, I won’t force you,” Su Mi reassured her.

Lin Nanyue gave a soft “Mm,” looking down in thought. Su Mi took the opportunity to briefly explain her family situation so Lin Nanyue wouldn’t be completely in the dark.

Lin Nanyue went from shock to numbness. “Professor Su… what do you see in me? Is your mother going to find me and throw a huge check at me, telling me to leave her daughter?”

Su Mi flicked her forehead. “What nonsense are you talking about again?”

The flick didn’t hurt, it was Su Mi’s favorite way of “disciplining” her, filled with a hint of indulgent helplessness.

Lin Nanyue hummed. “TV dramas and novels are always like that. The female lead then righteously refuses, expressing her pursuit of self-worth. When I was a kid, I was so envious. I thought if that were me, I’d definitely take the money!”

Su Mi nodded, indulging her fantasy. “That could work. Remember to ask my parents for a lot, and bring a lawyer for notarization. Then we’ll split the money and continue our relationship in secret.”

Lin Nanyue was moved to laughter. She wrapped her arms around Su Mi’s waist and laughed uncontrollably. Once she calmed down, she told Su Mi about her plan to resign tomorrow.

“Do you have to say it to your boss’s face?” Su Mi’s tone was colder than before.

Lin Nanyue phrased it differently: “Not necessarily. I’ve already sent the email. Tomorrow is mostly to pack my things. If the sen… cough, the boss is there, I’ll just tell him in person. After all, he was the one who hired me.”

Su Mi reluctantly agreed. “I have a class tomorrow morning. What time are you going?”

“It’s fine, I can go by myself.” Lin Nanyue looked up at her, suddenly remembering something. “By the way, Professor Su, do you know what I saw today?”

“What?” Su Mi looked down at her.

Lin Nanyue pulled up the photo from the official account. “Someone saw my profile and mistook me for you.”

Su Mi’s heart nearly skipped a beat. She tried to remain calm. “Who?”

“I don’t know,” Lin Nanyue said honestly. “Do you think this is a ‘couple’s resemblance’ in a way?”

It shouldn’t be Fang Qian or his people, Su Mi thought, sighing in relief.

Following her lead, Su Mi studied her face. “Mm, it is a couple’s resemblance. Very suitable for coming home with me.”

They wandered a bit longer before Lin Nanyue “chased” her away. Since Su Mi had sent the driver home after arriving, Lin Nanyue was worried about her taking a taxi so late.

Returning to the main school road, Lin Nanyue insisted Su Mi put her mask back on. She saw Professor Su into the car at the school gate before leaving. On her way back, she suddenly realized: Why didn’t I say anything when she said I was ‘suitable for coming home with her’?

She wondered if she’d get another chance.

After getting home, Su Mi first messaged Lin Nanyue to say she arrived safely. Then, she received a message from a faculty member. The gist was that in a few days, the school would hold a joint gala with the neighboring C University for graduating students. Besides students, outstanding teachers and alumni would be invited, it was an elite networking event.

For graduating seniors, it was a rare and valuable opportunity.

Su Mi had been rushing because she wanted Lin Nanyue to leave Fang Qian’s studio before this banquet started. In the original plot, Lin Nanyue became the center of gossip at this very gala, suffering through unfair judgment. It was there she learned why Fang Qian had hired her in the first place, the cold stares and ridicule made her feel humiliated.

Su Mi had thought about telling her not to go, but Lin Nanyue had mentioned hearing rumors about the gala before, her eyes full of anticipation. Su Mi couldn’t find a good reason to make her reject such a great opportunity.

Now, the faculty message said the college hoped she would attend. Su Mi typed a reply and accepted.

The next day, Lin Nanyue deliberately went to the studio a bit late.

When she arrived, several people were at their desks. The designer who had called her during her holiday was there, but he acted as if she were invisible. Lin Nanyue didn’t care. She sat at her desk and glanced at the blinds of the boss’s office. She could see a silhouette and then saw Fang Qian come out while on the phone to ask for a file before going back in.

Good luck, the boss was in. Since he was on the phone, she didn’t enter immediately. She used the time to hand over all her current tasks to her colleagues. After that, she began packing her things, stuffing her water bottle into her bag.

A colleague who received her files leaned over. “Xiao Lin, are you really resigning?”

Lin Nanyue nodded.

“Why? The boss has always been so good to you. Is it because…”

Lin Nanyue stopped packing. “Are you implying the boss is harsh to you?”

the employee chuckled awkwardly. “No, I was just asking. Why are you getting upset?”

Lin Nanyue didn’t bother saying more. Once she finished packing, she saw the boss finish his call and come out to give some instructions. She stood up, walked to the office door, knocked, and entered after receiving a response.

The office was filled with the pungent smell of cigarettes. Lin Nanyue quietly hid her distaste.

Fang Qian looked to be in a bad mood, but his expression softened slightly when he saw her. “Something wrong?”

“Mr. Fang, you received the resignation email I sent last night, right?”

Fang Qian frowned and clicked on his computer. After a moment, he looked up. “You’re resigning?”

Lin Nanyue nodded. “I’m very grateful for your mentorship during this time, but due to personal reasons.”

“What reasons?” Fang Qian interrupted, glancing dismissively at the application. “Is it because the money isn’t enough?”

Lin Nanyue was stunned, her brows furrowing. “No.”

“I can increase it by… no, double it.” Fang Qian spoke with the air of a wealthy man.

The respect on Lin Nanyue’s face began to fade. “Thank you, Mr. Fang, but I don’t need it.”

Fang Qian showed a look of impatience. “Triple it. Is that enough?”

“Mr. Fang, I’m not resigning because of money.” Lin Nanyue raised her voice slightly. “While the salary you offer is generous, I don’t think I’m a match for such ‘affection.’ Please find someone more capable.”

With that, she turned to leave. Fang Qian started to stop her, but a glimpse of her profile as she turned made him daze for a split second, missing the chance to call out.

After leaving, Lin Nanyue told Su Mi that she had officially resigned. Upon receiving the news, Su Mi also told her that she would be attending the joint university gala. Lin Nanyue was thrilled, this meant they could go together. The unpleasantness of the resignation was quickly forgotten.

Time flew by, and the day of the gala arrived.

After finishing her class, Su Mi stood at the podium. She opened her phone to see a message from Lin Nanyue saying she was waiting at the school gate. A smile tugged at her lips.

Students who hadn’t left yet saw the usually cold Professor Su smiling like that and stopped to stare.

“Professor, did your partner send you a message?” a brave student asked.

Su Mi put her phone away and stacked her lesson plans. “Observing so closely? Give me your student ID number. I’ll add an extra midterm project for you. Or, if anyone else knows his ID, I’ll consider giving you a reward.”

The student immediately hid his face behind a book and shouted, “Professor, I was wrong!”

The surrounding students laughed and betrayed him, leading to a “chase” between friends.

Su Mi gathered her things and walked up to the two. To the one who asked the question, she said, “I’ll give you one chance. Tell me the ID number of the ‘informant’ who just sold you out.”

Naturally, he took his revenge on the spot. Both students were “gifted” with an extra assignment from Su Mi.

Before leaving, Su Mi said kindly, “This is the price of prying into a teacher’s privacy. I hope everyone takes this as a lesson.”
