When the Villain From an Angsty Novel Transmigrates Into a Sweet Romance [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 23.2
When Chi Xia discovered that the plot had a deviation, she let No. 009 contact the Heavenly Dao. After communication between both sides, it informed No. 009 that there was no problem. But when No. 009 inquired why the female lead would have this life background setting, the Heavenly Dao also could not say a single thing. No. 009 always felt that there would be some major hidden danger existing.
Chi Xia never made things difficult for herself, being very free and easy. In her view, agonizing over these problems that had not yet surfaced above the water was unnecessary; she preferred to find clues and then peel back the layers to slowly play the opponent to death.
Of course, there was also no evidence proving that the current sweet story world had a hidden danger as No. 009 claimed.
“No one wishes for the world to be stable more than the Little Heavenly Dao. Since there is no abnormality, let’s temporarily believe its words.”
No. 009 obediently agreed to Chi Xia, and then asked about something else.
“In the past few days, Yu She has been contacting you continuously. Why don’t you pick up?”
Mentioning Yu She, Chi Xia inevitably knitted her brows and said unpleasantly, “Seeing him is annoying. Public business is enough to give someone a headache. I’ll go handle him after I finish the matters over here. Let’s air him out for a few days first.”
“This is putting him on the fire to roast, letting him experience the pain of spreading rumors about people behind their backs!”
Regarding the high school rumors, Chi Xia was also very perplexed, “Even now, I still can’t understand why Yu She wanted to spread that kind of rumor. Could he think that by doing this, he could make the boys in school not pursue Fang Yuqing?”
“Then Xiaxia can only go ask Yu She. Except for the person himself, I’m afraid there is no second person who understands his thoughts better.”
Chi Xia rubbed her temples, “Let’s talk about it after returning. If those vermin hadn’t made a big mess out of the matter, why would I have to come to handle the aftermath for them? Every single one of them is useless; they should be thrown in to eat jail food.”
“Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. Xiaxia should also rest, lest the female lead sees you later and feels heartbroken that you became thin again.”
Chi Xia could not help but touch her own cheek, asking testingly, “Did I really become thin?”
“Yes! But the chest is still bulging!”
Chi Xia decisively blocked No. 009. Back then, she must have truly lost her mind to choose No. 009 as her bound system.
The cool air of early autumn quietly arrived. The trip of several days in a foreign place was truly filled with bumps and hollows. A few mice stealing oil acted completely lawlessly, to the point that the branch company had almost become their nepotism company. After firing those fellows who entered through the back door and checking all the accounts clearly, Chi Xia finally stepped onto the journey home.
The assistant, Tan Qing, hesitated to speak. Chi Xia looked at her, and Tan Qing plucked up her courage to say, “Manager Chi, can I go stroll around later?”
“You can.”
Chi Xia lowered her head to look at her phone, and suddenly thought of something. She searched online for a limited-edition bag style, handed the phone to her, and said, “When the time comes, ask if this bag is in stock. The money has already been transferred to you. If it’s in stock, help me bring it back.”
Tan Qing had followed Chi Xia for some time and knew that Chi Xia was not interested in designer bags. She tactfully did not ask, looked at the item number very carefully, saved the picture, and said, “Okay, Manager Chi.”
Cities in the north would noticeably feel the change of seasons after entering autumn. A thin shirt would be blown by the wind and stick tightly to the body, revealing graceful curves. Chi Xia rolled up the car window and asked, “Roughly what time can we arrive?”
Tan Qing looked at the time, “We can arrive around five o’clock in the afternoon.”
“Mm.” Five o’clock, that was fine, it would not delay her time to read Fang Yuqing’s diary.
Chi Xia looked at the scenery outside. Thinking about the matter of being able to go home immediately today, her expression was no longer cold. That smile remained at the corner of her lips; capturing this moment of her good mood, Tan Qing could not help but be amazed by it.
Under the same sky, in another city, Fang Yuqing was following Manager Peng out of the company. Along the way, Manager Peng was instructing Fang Yuqing. In fact, going on a business trip and dealing with foreign enterprises was not a difficult thing for Fang Yuqing; she had previously seen plenty of messes created by some enterprises abroad. But facing Manager Peng’s good intentions, Fang Yuqing did not refuse. She was, after all, older than Fang Yuqing and possessed richer experience. Fang Yuqing still had many places to learn from Manager Peng, so she would not carelessly let it go in one ear and out the other.
Fang Yuqing placed the suitcase in the trunk and said to Manager Peng, “Let me drive later.”
Manager Peng smiled and patted her, “No need to feel indebted to Little Li. Bringing whom on a business trip is my right. She made a small mistake last time; as long as she was a bit careful, she could have avoided it. Yet she carelessly thought that because she was a top student, it didn’t matter to conduct a second check. Right now it’s a small mistake, if she doesn’t change later it will be a big mistake. Just let her drive later, it’s no trouble.”
Speaking of this Little Li, Manager Peng was also very helpless. Originally, there was no need to let her drive to send them, but Little Li pestered Manager Peng several times, so she had no choice but to agree to her.
Hearing this, Fang Yuqing had no objection. She stood together with Manager Peng. Later, seeing Manager Peng repeatedly check the time on her wristwatch, she spoke up, “I’ll go look for Little Li.”
Manager Peng said impatiently, “How on earth does she do things? Can’t she even fix a time?! Don’t go look for her, I want to see just how late she can arrive.”
Fang Yuqing quietly used her phone to ask a colleague, wanting to know what the situation was with Little Li right now.
At this time, Manager Peng also had no mind to care about whether she was playing with her phone, crossing her arms over her chest and tapping the tip of her shoe, waiting for Little Li with a face as cold as frost.
Having this opportunity to slack off, she got into contact with Chi Xia.
“Sister, did you eat lunch?”
The other party replied very quickly this time, which surprised Fang Yuqing.
“Eaten, I arrive at five.”
Her reply successfully caused Fang Yuqing to widen her eyes, and she could not help but droop her shoulders gloomily.
“This is truly too coincidental… I am going abroad with Manager Peng today.”
Some days ago, Chi Xia said she would return after finishing a week of work, but in fact, it had already been delayed for many days. Delaying and delaying, it ushered in Fang Yuqing’s business trip time.
Fang Yuqing thought she could wait for Chi Xia, but the result now became missing each other.
She looked at the message sent by Chi Xia, her chest feeling stuffed. She had discovered that the more she looked forward to things, the more they would end in disappointment.
Not only her, but Chi Xia also experienced a very subtle psychological change. Her mood about returning home suddenly plummeted, falling into a deep valley.
But she also knew this was a matter of force majeure. Chi Xia pursed her lips.
“What time is the flight.”
“Past six o’clock, almost seven o’clock.”
Fang Yuqing murmured, “The probability of this crossing paths is truly too low.”
“I won’t talk for now, I have to get in the car to go to the airport.”
A hurried sentence of parting left Chi Xia with a sense of loss. She no longer replied to Fang Yuqing. Seeing her chat interface, her heart actually felt a bit wronged, as if she had suffered some grievance.
Grievance?
How could that be.
Chi Xia put her phone away, no longer focusing on Fang Yuqing’s matter.
No matter how much her brain thought of her, it was of no use, wasn’t it still impossible to meet?
The time spent sitting in the car was long and boring. The sky was gradually filled with sunset glow, looking extremely dazzling from afar.
Tan Qing got out of the car and stretched her waist. Sitting in the car for a whole afternoon was quite tiring. Today she had to go home and get a good sleep; no matter how comfortable a hotel bed was, it could not compare to her own bed.
She wanted to stretch her waist further, but realizing Chi Xia was looking at her, Tan Qing quickly recovered her serious expression and asked, “What is it, Manager Chi?”
“The few of you go eat first, today it’s my treat. I will drive the car away first, I have an urgent matter, I will meet up with you guys later.”
Chi Xia took out the thing bought in the shop from the trunk and placed it on the passenger seat. After finishing her instructions to Tan Qing, she drove the car and left without looking back.
Tan Qing and her colleague could not help but look at each other, saying, “Where is Manager Chi driving in such a hurry?”
“To give someone a gift, right? Didn’t you see she took that bag away?”
Tan Qing was her assistant, considered the person who was most familiar with Chi Xia among everyone here. Her colleague wanted to ask her for Chi Xia’s gossip, but did not dare to ask too directly.
“Don’t ask, asking means wanting to die.” Tan Qing had very good professional ethics, words that shouldn’t be said were absolutely not spoken. Although she didn’t know whom that bag was being sent to, it should be a woman, that’s right.
Isn’t this nonsense, what kind of man carries that kind of bag!
Tan Qing smiled speechlessly, waved an arm, and said, “Go, go, go, let’s go eat, anyway it’s Manager Chi’s treat.”
That limited-edition bag which had attracted much attention from people also drew Chi Xia’s gaze. She told herself that driving was not for the purpose of seeing Fang Yuqing, but rather taking this bag to bribe her. When the time came, Fang Yuqing, who took things from others and thus had a soft hand, would definitely not dare to contradict her words again.
She quickly convinced herself, and the pent-up gloom accumulated in her heart was also swept clean. Maybe she would be able to see Fang Yuqing later.
It was just that the accident far exceeded her imagination. The road leading to the airport suddenly became congested and completely packed. Chi Xia was blocked in the middle of the road. At the moment she lowered the car window to look at the car accident situation, a face on a stretcher that was not too unfamiliar caused Chi Xia to withdraw her casual demeanor.
“That… that is Manager Peng?”
In a split second, the message Fang Yuqing sent to her surfaced in Chi Xia’s mind.
She would go on a business trip together with Manager Peng today.
Chi Xia swiftly yanked off her seatbelt. She changed directions to get down from the passenger seat position. Under the strange gazes of the passersby, she shouted Fang Yuqing’s name with panic and anxiety.
No, she definitely would not have an accident.
