The Spoiled Little Beauty is Always Abusing the Protagonist [Quick Transmigration] 31

Chapter 31: The Spoiled Villain in a Period Novel 31

Xu Nongqing seemed unable to hear, his dark, deep eyes just looking at Shu He. Beneath his long, narrow brow, his gaze seemed to solidify, lingering inch by inch over his exquisitely beautiful features.

We just saw each other yesterday.

He had watched him from the shadows, watched him take his two dogs for a walk in the early morning, watched him try to make the two dogs get along in the courtyard, watched him chat with another man.

Just like every day for the past four years.

Watching him as if he had completely forgotten him.

They had just seen each other yesterday, but at this moment, it felt like four years had passed.

Xu Nongqing’s gaze slowly lowered. He held the slender, delicate wrist in his hand. The touch of their skin was thrillingly hot, giving him the real sense that they had finally met again.

He watched, slowly tightening his grip, not letting go no matter how much Shu He struggled.

Shu He said anxiously, “If you keep this up, I’ll shout. My parents and the bodyguards are all nearby. When I call them over, you’ll…”

Xu Nongqing: “I’ll what?”

Shu He looked up and glared at him. “You’ll be done for!”

Xu Nongqing actually smiled. He looked at Shu He, the curve of his lips distinct, but his dark eyes looked empty. “Is that so?”

He seemed to have no more scruples, or perhaps his emotions at this moment were too chaotic. After a long moment, he said to himself, “Then shout.”

What is the protagonist doing…

Shu He couldn’t understand what Xu Nongqing meant at all.

He didn’t hit him, didn’t curse at him, just held him tightly. Compared to a Dragon King’s return for revenge, it was more like he still had feelings for him.

But how was that possible?

The harsh words he had said back then were so harsh, and they were all about looking down on Xu Nongqing. If Xu Nongqing had any dignity or pride, he would not like him anymore.

Shu He pressed his philtrum, looking at his tightly held wrist. “It hurts…”

His voice was thick with a nasal tone.

And also hoarse.

After the sudden surge of intense emotions subsided, the tip of Shu He’s nose became a little sore. He whined that it hurt. As soon as the words fell, the grip on his wrist suddenly disappeared.

Shu He looked at the person in front of him in a daze.

Xu Nongqing looked at Shu He’s wrist. The pale skin was marked with a vivid red handprint. He knew how fragile Shu He was. A little cold wind in the winter would give him a cold, and a little grievance would make his eyes wet.

…He had scared him.

Shu He immediately retreated two meters away.

He puffed out his cheeks and pointed at the courtyard gate, saying fiercely, “I don’t care what you’re here for. Go, or you’ll be done for.”

Xu Nongqing looked at him, his brow twitching.

Shu He seemed not to have changed in these four years.

Under the wind and sun, he was still dazzlingly pale, his tall, slender figure like a spring bamboo. He thought of the red-background photo, which was the same four years ago and four years later.

Very beautiful.

After a long moment, Xu Nongqing strode towards Shu He. Shu He stared at him with a dimple.

The man walked to the courtyard gate, then turned back to him and said, “I went to university.”

Shu He stared at him, not understanding what that meant.

Xu Nongqing said, “See you tomorrow.”

He’s coming again tomorrow?!

After saying this, Xu Nongqing completely left the courtyard gate. His back was tall and slender, with a hint of loneliness.

Silently, Little Fu panted and ran out of the house, pressing tightly against Shu He’s leg.

Shu He: “Wait.”

Xu Nongqing’s steps paused.

He turned back.

Shu He fiddled with the corner of his clothes and pouted. “Why did you bring Little Fu?”

Xu Nongqing: “You missed it.”

This was also a notice of their impending meeting.

Shu He lowered his head and mumbled why he hadn’t brought it sooner. He bent down and hugged Little Fu’s neck, whispering to it, asking if it wanted to say a few words to Xu Nongqing.

Little Fu glanced at Xu Nongqing, who had already turned and left.

It rubbed against Shu He’s face, not barking or whining. So Shu He took it back to the living room to get the details of Xu Nongqing’s visit from his parents.

Speaking of which, Shu’s father had a lot to say with great interest.

“Little Xu is really smart.”

“We talked for an hour, and the business concepts he proposed were all very new. I heard he started in the tea drink business? Now he’s in real estate, and in the future, he’s going to do something with the internet. Although it’s an industry our company hasn’t touched, and it’s not certain if it will succeed, Little Xu showed me a complete project proposal, and I think we can cooperate.”

Shu’s mother was pouring tea on the side and interjected, “When he saved our Little He back then, I wanted to send him to the Capital to learn business. Our Shu family could also back him up and help him rise rapidly, as a reward. Who knew he would refuse?”

“At that time, I was still wondering if he was really noble or just pretending. Who knew…”

Shu’s mother shook her head with a sigh. “It’s only been four years. The younger generation is truly formidable.”

Shu He had always focused on music and didn’t understand business matters.

He was confused, only remembering one sentence. “…We can’t cooperate!”

Shu’s father was stunned. “Why?”

Shu’s mother still didn’t know that Xu Nongqing coveted her child. Otherwise, she would never have said at this moment, “Little Xu seems magnanimous. He probably hasn’t taken the matter of you bullying him back then to heart.”

Shu He: QAQ.

But he had toyed with the protagonist’s emotions, so much that the protagonist’s eyes had turned red.

How could he not have taken it to heart?

Shu He twisted his fingers and said dryly, “I’m just worried that he’ll deliberately set us up because of that.”

Although according to the original plot, the protagonist didn’t take the route of ruining the Shu family through cooperation, it was close enough.

He had dismantled the Shu family’s company from all aspects.

Shu’s father frowned. “Alright, I’ll talk to him again then. And this project proposal…”

Shu He reached out his hand.

Shu’s father handed it to him.

Although Shu He couldn’t understand the twists and turns of the business world, he had the system. To catch the protagonist’s slip-ups, Shu He took the project proposal and went back to his room.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and opened the project proposal.

This project proposal was just a concept.

The concepts proposed were all popular in later generations. Being the first to enter the market now would be beneficial for capturing it.

Truly worthy of being a Dragon King…

Shu He puffed out his cheeks and read on with concentration. He spent half an hour, not missing a single detail, but still couldn’t find any flaws in the document.

Shu He was a little tired from reading.

He lay on the bed dejectedly, propping his cheek with his hand, and rubbed his eyes. “Brother 1, can you see any problems with this document?”

Of course, the system… couldn’t.

It barely suppressed its virus-like program, which was about to explode, and scanned the project proposal with its camera, finally finding a mistake. 【Look at this.】

A horizontal line was drawn in the void on the document.

Shu He’s almond eyes widened. He tilted his head and looked at it seriously. The system said critically, 【This profit distribution has you taking the big share and the protagonist taking the small share. This is not normal. How can anyone be willing to take a loss?】

Shu He thought it made a lot of sense and nodded repeatedly, seriously affirming the system.

“That’s right. There must be a problem.”

Shu He picked up the project proposal, grabbed this mistake, and went downstairs to find his parents.

Shu’s father and mother hadn’t even noticed this profit distribution. Now that Shu He had brought it up, they realized something was wrong.

The idea was Xu Nongqing’s. They were just responsible for investing. A 50/50 split would have been about right, but it was 70/30 in their favor.

A sucker, a pure gold one.

Shu’s father decided to talk to Xu Nongqing about it later.

Coincidentally, the next day, Xu Nongqing paid a second visit. Shu He didn’t go downstairs and, like last time, sat in the corner of the stairs to watch.

He watched and watched, but couldn’t hear any of the conversation. Shu He propped his cheek with his hand, his pale cheeks puffed out. He tiptoed back to his room, planning to get the details from his parents after Xu Nongqing left.

Little Fu squatted by the desk, suddenly smelling a familiar scent, its head bobbing in the air.

After a moment, its doggy eyes slanted up to look at its little master and let out a soft “awoo.”

Shu He looked at it with confusion. Before he could speak, he heard a knock on the door.

He thought it was his parents, so he quickly went to open the door, only to see Xu Nongqing. Shu He: “…”

OoO

Shu He’s almond eyes were wide with surprise as he looked at the man standing in front of his door.

Xu Nongqing was very tall, almost as tall as the doorframe. And although Shu He had grown a little in these four years, he still looked slender and small in comparison.

He looked up at him, and then felt unhappy, lacking authority.

Shu He unhappily turned his head and went back into the room, not meeting the protagonist’s eyes.

Xu Nongqing stood at the door for a few seconds. Seeing that Shu He still wouldn’t turn around, he finally stepped into the room and closed the door behind him.

There was a familiar scent in the room.

Back in Wang Family Village, he could always smell it when he kissed Shu He. It was fragrant, like a natural scent emanating from his pale skin.

“What are you here for?”

Shu He wouldn’t even lift his head, not even glancing at him.

Xu Nongqing was silent for a few seconds, then walked over to him and said in a low voice, “To talk to you.”

Shu He: “About what?”

But Xu Nongqing didn’t answer.

As if he had seen something, his gaze shifted and landed on the desk.

In his focused dark eyes, the several newspapers stacked on the books were reflected. These newspapers seemed to have been forgotten, left open. He clearly saw the address at the beginning of the newspaper was Shuian City.

Shuian City Daily.

There were a few more under it, from the year before last, with the address of Zhaoyang City.

Zhaoyang City was a city he had once been to for business. That was the busiest period, and it was very far from the Capital, so far that he couldn’t maintain his rhythm of seeing Shu He three times a week, which made that experience unforgettable.

Xu Nongqing’s gaze focused. He suddenly reached out to take them, and Shu He, who had been waiting for a response for a long time, looked up with confusion at this moment, just in time to see Xu Nongqing about to take the newspapers.

He immediately straightened his back and pounced over to snatch them, not letting Xu Nongqing see the contents.

These were all newspapers that had reported on the protagonist. What would the protagonist think if he saw them?

Shu He stuffed all the newspapers into a drawer. Xu Nongqing’s hand fell. He slowly turned his head. He wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but he seemed to see a thicker stack of newspapers in the drawer.

Shu He’s almond eyes hesitantly darted away, and he changed the subject. “What did you want to talk to me about?”

Xu Nongqing stared at him for a few seconds, his brow furrowing slightly for a moment before quickly relaxing. He asked in a hoarse voice, “That project proposal.”

Shu He was still a little guilty.

He stepped forward and blocked the drawer with his stomach, only then feeling a sense of security, like an animal building a nest. “Oh, the Shu family doesn’t want to cooperate with you.”

“Why?” Xu Nongqing said. “Because of what happened back then?”

You know and you still ask.

Shu He lowered his head, his cheeks puffed out, and didn’t speak.

Xu Nongqing said slowly, “So are you afraid of me, or guilty?”

“I’m not guilty at all.” Shu He instantly lifted his head and babbled, “I was the one who wanted to break up with you. Why should I feel guilty? Besides, I wasn’t wrong back then. You really weren’t worthy of me.”

Xu Nongqing: “Then you’re afraid of me.”

Shu He’s eyes widened even more than a cat’s.

“No!” He curled his hands on the desk, looked up at Xu Nongqing unhappily, and racked his brain to not let this villain fall behind. “Why would I be afraid of you? What’s there to be afraid of? Don’t think you can step on my head just because you’ve succeeded in your career. Hmph, that will only make you look petty, still holding a grudge against your ex after four years. You wouldn’t be like that, would you?”

“I would.”

Xu Nongqing said.

Shu He couldn’t tell the meaning of this tone. He couldn’t help but furrow his beautiful brow and tilt his head to seriously look at the other person’s expression, trying to determine the truth of his words.

As he looked, he couldn’t help but get lost in Xu Nongqing’s purpose. By the time he reacted again, he saw Xu Nongqing reaching out to him.

Xu Nongqing lowered his head, and his thumb, as hot as it had been four years ago, gently pressed against Shu He’s sharp chin. He lowered his body, and a sense of oppression instantly emanated from him.

Shu He’s back was straight. He was so startled by this sudden action that he froze in place, his beautiful almond eyes wide and shimmering with moisture. This was not the end. Soon, Shu He felt the light in front of him dim, and the world seemed to be enveloped and squeezed by an unignorable aura.

On his soft lips, the man’s aggressive aura came. Shu He’s breathing stopped for a moment, his chin lifted, and the man’s hot thumb gently rubbed it.

Xu Nongqing lowered his eyes, his fingers gradually sliding to Shu He’s somewhat cool cheek. Just like back in Wang Family Village, he held his face and kissed him, looking into his eyes and admitting, “I would.”

“I hold a grudge.”

“And it’s not that you’re afraid of me, but that I’m afraid of you.”

Shu He’s face was tense, his breathing rapid. His mind was in a daze. He just felt it was very dangerous and couldn’t help but randomly grab Xu Nongqing’s tie, as if wanting to control something.

Xu Nongqing let him control it, his hands on the chair behind him, his head lowered, almost completely enveloping him in his arms.

At this distance, their hot, rapid breaths completely occupied their thoughts. He lowered his eyes and kissed Shu He’s soft, sweet philtrum, his fragmented whispers lingering by Shu He’s hot, pink ear:

“I have money now.”

“I’ve studied, I’m educated, I’m a university student.”

“He He.”

“Am I worthy of you now?”
