Quick Transmigration: Sorry, I Never Loved You - Chapter 236

“Haaii~! I’m back.. What’s with that expression on your face? You’re so tense!” Xu Jiaqi laughed, pinching the tip of Tang Yizhou’s nose and bringing his head down to face hers. “Did I make you worry a lot? I just wanted to have a little fun with them. Turns out, there wasn’t anything special that I could get.. So I played around. That’s fine, right? Will I get into trouble?”

“..Who dares to get you in trouble? I will make sure that they suffer in your place if they do want to try something funny.”

Xu Jiaqi smiled like an angel, but deep down, she recognized the hypocrisy she enjoyed. She was perfectly content with others suffering in her stead, potentially getting their lives ruined just because of her whims, but she was someone who would go the extra mile to take sweet revenge for herself. It was a complete change in mindset, but what could she do? She was born to be this sort of person.

No matter how willful she was. It was her fate to prevail over others, and she wouldn’t accept any other outcome except for that.

Xu Jiaqi linked her arms with Tang Yizhou’s, dragging him out of the prison and getting into their car.

“Where do you want to go now?”

“Hmm.. Drive me to the dress shop I intended to go before. I need to get back on track with the wedding preparations. Can’t have our little prince waiting for too long, can we?” Xu Jiaqi teased the man, who let out a small grunt.

Inside, he was thoroughly happy and set off for the location Xu Jiaqi desired for immediately. Upon reaching the store, he was once again rejected from ever going in and peeking. He was forced to wait outside of the building, where beautiful dresses were being showcased in the display windows.

Xu Jiaqi had her fun picking out the designs she likes, got her measurements taken, and finally exited the store contently. She saw Tang Yizhou’s car still parked outside the store and pursed her lips.

‘Did this man really wait for me the whole time?’ Xu Jiaqi wondered. She had spent at least two hours inside the store since she picked out various dresses and accessories, not just one piece. She had the wealth to do that, and the designs attracted her, so why not?

She had to say, he was really dedicated. She was sent off by the store’s attendant, which gained the attention of Tang Yizhou who immediately rolled down his windows upon seeing Xu Jiaqi’s figure exit the store.

“Qiqi, are you done?”

“I am. Did you wait for me? You should’ve just gone back, I can call a ride. What did you do inside the car, alone?”

“Fantasizing about your beautiful appearance in the wedding dresses.” Tang Yizhou shamelessly said, which made Xu Jiaqi snort. She was used to this mannerism of his after some time of interaction, so she was no longer shocked.

“Yes, yes. Unfortunately, you will not be able to peek at the delicious sight. Instead, do you want to go on a dinner date with me, Mister President? Perhaps that will quench your fantasies for the time being.” Xu Jiaqi extended the great offer.

Tang Yizhou’s lips curved up into a wide smile. “Certainly, milady.” He said, driving off to a restaurant that he knew suited her tastes. He called up his secretary and made sure that there would be a reservation for them in the exclusive dinery.

The secretary, who was suddenly called and had to prepare for his boss’ date night, was rather frustrated but still complied anyway. Thus, when the loving couple reached the restaurant, they were recognized and brought inside to a special room right away, where they were serviced to the highest level before being given privacy.

The two enjoyed their meal, and chatted with each other on all sorts of things.

After that, they returned back to their living compounds, where the atmosphere got weird and the tension began to rise up exponentially, effectively making them slowly get warm with teach other. Their lips, torso, hips- their bodies were locked together. Becoming one in the darkness of the night, where they enjoyed their moment of filthy love making. Their sex drive pushing them to do more and more with each passing second.

A passionate, hot and steamy night passed for the couple, and only ended after both were too tired and sleepy.

When she woke up, Xu Jiaqi was laying on their bed, wrapped in a thick blanket and not wearing any clothes. She was entirely clean, so Tang Yizhou must’ve cleaned everything up before resting. Even after staying up later than her, that man was currently not in the bed with her.

Knowing Tang Yizhou, what else could he have tried to do except for go the extra mile and prepare for the two of them’s pleasant morning.

Just as she had guessed, she was able to pick up some subtle sounds from the nearby kitchen. She tried to wake up and go over to the man, but she was unable to since her body was so sore that she felt like her muscles were being ripped apart constantly.

She laid down on the bed fully, as she began thinking about the matters she did yesterday. Visiting the Zhao family was not only to take revenge and try to trigger the side quest, but also start up rumors regarding her about her every act. She was a well known figure now in the industry due to her tear jerking story, but that reputation surely wouldn’t clear her out of all crimes in existence.

This visit to the prison cell, and how she treated the Zhao family, it was bound to cause a ruckus no matter how big or small it might be.

‘In the end, the side quest didn’t trigger there. Or rather.. the cryptic text didn’t show any signs of reacting. It must be somewhere else.. but where?’ Xu Jiaqi internally discussed.

[I’m not sure, Host. All I know is that it was triggered all of a sudden. Both you and the powerful being did not anticipate the trigger, so.. Perhaps we could give this quest up and assume it was just an apparition for the one who helped us to contact me?] The System had always theorized it as that way.

Xu Jiaqi originally thought the same, but the more she pondered upon it, the more she began to wonder about other possible solutions. It just didn’t feel right. The cryptic side quest, was there really nothing hidden behind it? Something that would pertain to her problem?

Was there no way to translate it after all?

As she mused about the matter, lazing around in bed, Tang Yizhou entered the room with some refreshments.

“Thank you, Yizhou.” Xu Jiaqi quickly snatched the food away from him, since her stomach was indeed feeling a bit hungry after last night’s strenuous exercise. As expected, after a long period of rest, being exposed to this kind of long and arduous activity was way out of her league. Her frail body couldn’t take it.

“Qiqi, are you still in pain?” He asked.

‘What else did I miss?’ Xu Jiaqi thought hard, but she couldn’t think up of anything substantial.

Then, Tang Yizhou suddenly spoke some words bearing a strange implication. “Qiqi, you had a nightmare earlier. I wanted to wake you up, but you were so invested in it and wouldn’t wake up at all no matter how much I called out to you. You were also mumbling some stuff. You made me a bit too worried when you weren’t responsive apart from that.”

“..What was I saying?”

“..You were crying about.. Potentially.. your trauma incident. The things I heard.. you were pleading for help, and sounded so desperate that I thought my heart could break in a flash the longer I listen to your wails.”

Xu Jiaqi heard his words and widened her eyes. Right. There was still that one thing she hadn’t checked because of how long the case was.

‘..That might be it. Do you think so too?’ Xu Jiaqi completely forgot about this one man because he had already received his punishment. However, she hadn’t actually came in contact with him just yet throughout this whole time, from the very beginning of her transmigration. She simply shoved the incident to the back of her head since larger enemies were standing in her path and made her take care of them first.

And yet, the main perpetrator of that day’s incident was still somewhere in the world.

[Hmm.. I think it’s pretty unlikely, but it’s worth a shot. Everything is worth a shot, I would say.”

‘I think so too. We should try to bet on this chance.’ Xu Jiaqi was rather satisfied.. This was quite the large plot that she didn’t cover because she thought it was entirely over. But what if there was something deeper lurking in the back as she was being gullible and continued on pouncing forward without much thoughts at all?]
