When the Villain From an Angsty Novel Transmigrates Into a Sweet Romance [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 24.2

These words clearly carried sarcasm toward Fang Yuqing. In order to express her determination, Fang Yuqing puffed out her chest and said with utmost seriousness, “Sister, don’t worry, I will take good care of that gift. I won’t let it suffer even a tiny bit of damage. It must be revered like an offering! This is the first gift you’ve ever given me, so of course I have to cherish it properly!”

Chi Xia’s eyes could not help but glance at that soft place that had just collided against her, and then she felt that she shouldn’t be thinking about this issue right now; it was truly too wicked of her.

She rubbed her nose, tossing aside the ripples of excitement in her heart. She stopped embracing Fang Yuqing and supported her to walk toward another area. “The way you put it makes it sound like I’m quite stingy.”

Fang Yuqing pursed her lips and smiled. “Don’t just talk about you, actually I haven’t really given you gifts either.”

Chi Xia slanted her eyes at her in dissatisfaction. “Doesn’t that make it even then? The two of us are six of one and half a dozen of the other.”

She snorted, refraining from bickering with Chi Xia for the sake of the gift. The subsequent process involved meeting with the traffic police who were still handling the scene. Fang Yuqing became a complete bystander; Chi Xia helped her negotiate the follow-up issues with the traffic police, the woman’s slender arm draped over Fang Yuqing’s shoulder in a protective posture.

After Fang Yuqing, who had just experienced a thrilling car accident, saw that she had Chi Xia’s company, she felt as though she suddenly had a pillar of support. Previously, she could also calmly communicate with the traffic police. As the ones with the lightest injuries, only Fang Yuqing could step up to talk to the police, but that was all due to her forcing herself to hold on.

Her colleague was weeping. In truth, Fang Yuqing also wanted to cry very badly, but she could not wash her hands of the matter just yet; there were still many things waiting for her to handle.

When someone helps you share the burden during difficulties, that kind of feeling genuinely made Fang Yuqing believe that Chi Xia was radiating light, dispelling that eerie darkness and coming to rescue her.

Fang Yuqing silently gripped the hem of Chi Xia’s clothes tightly, relying trustingly on her companionship.

“Sorry to trouble you, then we will head to the hospital first.”

Chi Xia spoke with the traffic police. They still needed to go to the hospital to await Manager Peng’s treatment. The business trip was completely out of the question now; a single car accident had left the entire crew injured. After learning about this matter, President Qi, a leader of the company, also rushed to the hospital immediately. Manager Peng was a veteran general of his who had followed him for many years, so it was impossible for President Qi not to come.

He knocked on the door of the hospital room. By this time, Manager Peng had already regained consciousness. Seeing President Qi arrive, she expressed no surprise and smiled haggardly, saying, “I’ve really troubled President Qi. Regarding the matters abroad, I’m afraid you’ll have to start arranging other candidates to go.”

President Qi waved his hand dismissively and said, “It’s fine, you all just focus on recuperating. The company will reimburse you for everything when the time comes.”

This bit of money was nothing to him; it was already enough of a blessing that they were only injured.

He looked around at the others and asked further, “What about them?”

Manager Peng weakly supported her head and explained, “I told the two with lighter injuries to go home. There was no need to keep draining them, after all, they just experienced a shock. Let them rest up properly.”

Leaders are all normal people. President Qi had just asked casually. Today’s car accident had also caused him to lose his composure. After his assistant learned of this matter, they immediately informed President Qi, so after finishing his meeting, he rushed over without a single pause to check on Manager Peng.

“How could the brakes fail out of nowhere?”

President Qi knitted his brows tightly and said in a heavy voice, “Who was driving the car today?”

Manager Peng directed his gaze toward the still-sleeping Little Li and said, “It was her, and she is also the one who suffered the most severe injuries. The specific inspection still requires waiting. As for what degree of brake failure it was, we’ll have to look at the official results given.”

President Qi believed that he had always treated people with kindness. The company he ran had not made many enemies, and recently there were no conflicts of interest within the family either. Those troublesome relatives would not dare to commit acts that harmed human lives. Perhaps this car accident truly was just an accident.

Manager Peng shared the exact same thought. Tensions always arise when interacting with people, but at most, it results in holding a grudge for a few days; it would absolutely never reach the level of wanting to kill someone. The people in this car did not have any deep animosities between them; the car accident could only be an accident.

Their thoughts were in perfect alignment. With a single glance and a few words, they understood each other’s meaning. President Qi gave Manager Peng a few instructions, arriving in a hurry and leaving in a hurry once more.

Those with severe injuries remained in the hospital, while those with light injuries all went home.

However, Fang Yuqing did not dare to go back. If Meng Ruyan found out about her experience, she would definitely treat her like a fragile porcelain doll and serve her hand and foot for a few days. One time when she was sick as a child, it was exactly like that; after recovering from the illness, Fang Yuqing had gained a few pounds, while Meng Ruyan had grown a lot thinner. Now that she was an adult, how could she bear to let Meng Ruyan busy herself back and forth for her sake? Even if she said words telling Meng Ruyan not to busy herself, they would probably only be treated as a passing breeze. This was likely the burden of happiness.

Therefore, while waiting for the red light on the way home, Fang Yuqing said, “Sister, drop me off at that hotel not far away, I still won’t go home.”

Chi Xia disapproved, scanning the bandage on her forehead and the injuries on her neck with her eyes, and said coldly, “You really don’t rest for even a single moment. Go home properly.”

“I’m not going back!” Relying on the fact that she was currently a patient, Fang Yuqing covered her head and collapsed onto the seat. “Ouch, ouch, my head hurts so much. I’m a patient, you can’t bully people.”

Chi Xia endured the sarcasm that almost slipped out of her mouth. Changing her tone, she said crossly, “Then if you stay in a hotel all by yourself, can you look after yourself properly?”

“What’s the big deal about that? Didn’t I live perfectly fine when I was alone abroad?” She raised her chin proudly. In front of Chi Xia, she always maintained this childlike appearance, both asking for a beating and being adorable at the same time.

Chi Xia watched her throw a tantrum and cause a scene with cold indifference. What on earth was wrong with this woman? When she herself snatched rooms from her or deliberately bullied her sometimes, she would only smile beamingly without a single objection, just like a piece of dough with no temper at all. Yet now, she would actually throw a petty tantrum with her over a matter of whether to go home or not. Was Fang Yuqing ultimately mature or childish?

“You, oh you, you are becoming more and more mischievous.” Chi Xia had to admit that looking at her head full of bandages, she could not let out an ounce of anger. She was afraid that if she truly provoked her into a frenzy, it would cause her head to ache later. Although she clearly knew she was acting willfully and creating a scene, what else could be done? She was right she was a patient.

Hearing this, Fang Yuqing lifted her face, her beautiful eyes rippling with a heavy, triumphant smile. Chi Xia glanced over idly and let out a casual snort, the down-turned outer corners of her eyes suddenly tilting upward, concealing bad intentions. She had to let Fang Yuqing know that provoking her was not a good thing.

She tapped the packaging box on the passenger seat with her hand. Before getting into the car, she had used an item of clothing to cover it, so that no one could guess exactly what was packed inside. She held it steadily with both hands, passing it through the gap between the seats along with the clothes covering the packaging box, without saying a word, just staring straight at Fang Yuqing.

Fang Yuqing was overjoyed, no longer even continuing to pretend that her head ached. She sat up straight, cradling it as she said, “A gift?”

“Mm.”

“Can I open it right now?” This brought too much of a sense of mystery, even using clothes to cover it, for fear that she would see clearly what was packed inside, right?

Chi Xia was completely at ease. “Of course you can.”

Fang Yuqing ripped away the clothes covering the top in one swift motion, and she was not unfamiliar with the packaging box or that logo displayed on it. Fang Yuqing’s head no longer ached and her waist no longer felt sore; she opened the packaging box in two shakes of a lamb’s tail. Lying inside was an exquisitely styled bag. Fang Yuqing happily pressed her hands together, as if stars were bursting from her eyes.

Seeing her expression, Chi Xia said teasingly, “Revere it properly like an offering for me. You are not allowed to use it, nor are you allowed to carry it on your back. Remember the grand words of determination you spoke to me earlier.”

The sweet smile instantly froze on her face. Clearly, Fang Yuqing recalled what face-slapping words she had spoken previously. She looked at Chi Xia, then looked at the bag, and finally pointed at Chi Xia in anger, “You did it on purpose, didn’t you!”

She shrugged her shoulders, also learning to blink innocently, and said, “When you spoke those words, I didn’t entice you at all. That was all you willingly jumping into my pit.”

Fang Yuqing felt a splitting headache, wishing she could strangle her past self from a few hours ago.

She slowly and unhurriedly slumped onto the back seat, her hands placed properly over her abdomen as she slowly closed her eyes, saying, “When was a bad time to give me a gift, yet you chose to give it to me at this exact moment. Chi Xiaoer, you just can’t bear to see me pleased with myself, can you.”

The red light ahead turned green, and she started the car. “At least you’re not completely stupid.”

Fang Yuqing gave a cold laugh. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her, giving her a brand-new idea. Opening her watery eyes, she stared intently at Chi Xia and began to smile sinisterly, bearing the complete countenance of a villain. She said, “I’m not staying at a hotel anymore.”

“You’ve learned to be good?”

Chi Xia liked to bully Fang Yuqing. Previously, it was for the sake of tasks and the desire to win who told her to be the female lead and the number one spot that Chi Xia could never surpass? Therefore, with old grudges and new hatred combined, it would be strange if Chi Xia could give her a pleasant countenance.

Yet, during their dramatic reunion years later, Fang Yuqing had changed, and yet she also seemed unchanged. It was only that compared to the past, she became more tolerant of her targeting, smiling every single time, and not only that, she even helped her smooth things over, as if she were simply indulging her misdeeds.

Chi Xia was not a dull person devoid of feeling; the fact that she had these thoughts right now proved that Chi Xia had already detected the differences between Fang Yuqing and her teenage self.

Fang Yuqing was the her from back then, yet she was also not the her from that time.

In short, Chi Xia was almost driven into confusion by her.

Now that the atmosphere of elementary school children fighting each other was probably gone, Fang Yuqing’s concession also allowed Chi Xia to experience a different kind of sensation. Unwittingly, the bullying aimed at making things difficult gradually gained some other elements.

Was it flirting?

Or was it something else.

Chi Xia’s expression remained calm and composed. Regarding Fang Yuqing learning to be good, she felt gratified, but the subsequent words could be described as delivering a complete reversal, allowing Fang Yuqing to turn the tables and secure a victory.

“I’m not going to a hotel, and I’m not going home either.”

She curved her eyes, her sweet and lovely countenance resembling a fresh jasmine flower after the rain, compact and multifaceted.

“I want to stay at your house. I am a patient, and I need Sister’s care.”

Wasn’t it just revering a limited-edition bag like an offering? No problem at all, she was originally reluctant to use it anyway after all, that was a gift given by Chi Xia.

But she couldn’t suffer a loss either, right?

Chi Xia could not help but dry-cough a few times. Moving into her own house this was truly an affair that was far too intimate. Fang Yuqing was simply being far too bold.

“You don’t agree?”

“Or could it be that a precious darling is hidden at home who cannot be discovered by others?”

Fang Yuqing spat at her crossly. But as she spoke on and on, Chi Xia fell silent. Fang Yuqing’s heart choked, “You really hid a person inside!”

Wait a minute, why did she feel a little bit jealous!
