Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

“Miss Dong?”

Dong Zheng snapped back to reality upon hearing Shen Wan call her name again. She looked up and saw Shen Wan standing behind the sofa, her hair wet and wrapped in a bath towel.

Water continued to drip from her hair, sliding down her pale shoulders and arms before falling to the floor.

“You should dry your hair first. Keeping it wet for too long can lead to colds and headaches in the future,” Dong Zheng said, immediately standing up to fetch a clean towel and draping it over Shen Wan’s shoulders. “I’ll get the hair dryer.”

Shen Wan, not fond of her wet hair sticking to her back, began to dry her hair with the towel. Seeing Dong Zheng had found the hair dryer, she followed her while continuing to towel her hair. “Miss Dong, don’t try to change the subject. Don’t think that just because you’ve brought me a dry towel and a hair dryer, you can brush off the matter and make me forget. You told Xiao Hu earlier that I was with my sweetheart. When are you going to return my partner to me?”

Dong Zheng, who was crouching to plug in the hair dryer, couldn’t help but smile at Shen Wan’s words. “Let’s dry your hair first.”

“No, give me back my sweetheart first,” Shen Wan insisted, sitting on a small stool nearby. “You’ve hidden my sweetheart away secretly. If you don’t hand them over, I won’t do anything else.”

“Then let me help you dry your hair.”

Dong Zheng had already come to Shen Wan’s side with the hair dryer. She stood there, looking at her, and touched Shen Wan’s hair, which had already been towel-dried. It was still damp, but no longer dripping water as before.

The hair dryer was turned on, its buzzing filling their ears. At this point, even if they spoke, they wouldn’t be able to hear each other. Dong Zheng’s hand lifted Shen Wan’s hair, slowly drying it with the hair dryer. Her palm shielded Shen Wan’s scalp from the direct heat of the dryer, allowing her to adjust the temperature as needed.

Now that someone was helping her dry her hair, Shen Wan fell silent.

“188, she’s drying my hair for me. She said I have a sweetheart, so if she has to hand someone over later, she might as well offer herself,” Shen Wan thought. She couldn’t be blamed for this; Dong Zheng had walked right into it herself. In this world, Shen Wan hadn’t actively flirted with anyone. It was Dong Zheng who couldn’t resist, moved by Shen Wan’s pure, unpretentious, and hardworking image, silently falling for her until now, when her feelings were out in the open.

[188: “Congratulations, Wan Wan. Now you can do other things.”]

“188, when we leave this small world, I’ll spend some money to get you scanned for viruses at headquarters. I suspect you’ve been infected by those colorful pop-up viruses.”

Hearing that Shen Wan was willing to spend money on him, 188 was happy. If she bought something else, like upgrading to a new version, he’d be even happier. As for virus scanning, he really hadn’t been infected and didn’t need it.

He had grown crooked now; didn’t she realize it?

If anyone needed a virus scan, it was her.

188 grunted twice, ignoring Shen Wan. In any case, he was quite pleased that Wan Wan was willing to spend money on him.

Meanwhile, Dong Zheng had finished drying Shen Wan’s hair and even combed it for her.

Warm fingers continued to run through Shen Wan’s hair. When the sound of the hair dryer stopped, Shen Wan quickly asked, “Now that my hair is dry, Miss Dong, will you hand over my sweetheart?”

“Xiao Hu knows now, which means the whole company will know. My parents were there at the time, so they probably know too, and are likely asking Xiao Hu about who my sweetheart is. Everyone knows I have a sweetheart now; I can’t just grab someone out of thin air. Since you started this, you need to help me solve this problem.”

Dong Zheng met Shen Wan’s serious gaze, and they looked at each other for about half a minute before she said, “I was just making an excuse. I didn’t think it would have such a big impact on you.”

Indeed, the impact was significant, and only handing over her sweetheart could resolve it.

“Apart from the housekeeper who occasionally comes to clean, only you and I live here. Even Ah Zhan has been busy dealing with company matters and hasn’t been here for half a month. So, I really can’t hand over your sweetheart, but…” Dong Zheng paused for a second before continuing, “Although I can’t hand someone over, I can be your sweetheart if you want.”

“What do you think of me?” Dong Zheng’s eyes curved in a smile as she placed her hands on Shen Wan’s shoulders, leaning in closer to inhale the fresh scent of the same shampoo they used, which put her in a very good mood. “I might not be able to hand over the sweetheart you want, but I can give myself to you as a sweetheart. Do you want that?”

Shen Wan thought to herself: Happiness came too quickly; such straightforward words truly made her feel shy.

“What’s wrong? Are you not satisfied?” Seeing Shen Wan just staring at her, Dong Zheng became restless. Hadn’t she been so eager to have her hand over a sweetheart earlier? Now that she had expressed her feelings, the other party remained silent. That wouldn’t do.

Now that the words were out, it had to happen whether Shen Wan liked it or not.

“No, I’m very satisfied,” Shen Wan quickly replied. “I was just too excited earlier. I didn’t expect Miss Dong to be so kind, willing to offer herself as compensation for losing my sweetheart.”

Dong Zheng couldn’t help but laugh. This act of confusion was well-played. She had previously thought that revealing her feelings to Shen Wan might cost her the chance of being friends. After recent interactions, she realized she had overthought it.

Now that she had this opportunity, she certainly wouldn’t waste it.

“So now I’m your sweetheart,” Dong Zheng said assertively. “From now on, our way of interacting will be different from before.”

Shen Wan: “That’s right. From now on, you’re my sweetheart.”

“The kind that will get married in the future?”

“The kind that will get married.”

Dong Zheng was somewhat satisfied, and Shen Wan was very satisfied. She let go of Shen Wan and said, “I’ll go take a shower now. I have some work to do at the company tomorrow. Since we’re a couple now, you’ll be living here from now on.” As she said this, Dong Zheng placed a key in Shen Wan’s hand and softly said, “Keep it safe.”

Shen Wan held the key, her eyes curved in a smile. This key hadn’t been easy to obtain.

“188, actually, she lost my sweetheart and is compensating me with herself. It’s only right to compensate for losing someone else’s things, isn’t it?”

188 thought: Get lost! Every time you gain an advantage, you come up with such poor excuses. The Time and Space Bureau’s alarm system is really outdated, not user-friendly at all.

Despite thinking this, 188 still paid close attention to the alarm system’s status, fearing it might trigger and force Shen Wan to be extracted from this world.

From that day on, Shen Wan and Dong Zheng’s interactions gradually became like those of an ordinary couple.

The company staff noticed the subtle intimacy between the two women. At first, they thought it was just their imagination, but later, when they accidentally witnessed Dong Zheng kissing Shen Wan, they nearly tripped over themselves.

The two completely disregarded others’ feelings and openly displayed their affection, becoming increasingly lovey-dovey. Some of Dong Zheng’s behaviors remained unchanged, such as bringing Shen Wan a bucket of fried chicken legs and a cola whenever she had the chance. She usually didn’t eat it herself; it was all for Shen Wan.

Xiao Hu once overheard Dong Zheng saying, “You eat so much fried food every day, yet you don’t gain an ounce. Where does it all go?”

“Into my stomach, but it’s digested.”

This body’s constitution was just like that – no matter how much she ate, she wouldn’t gain weight. Even eating spicy and fried foods didn’t cause acne on her face. Everyone had to be envious for a moment. Sometimes when Dong Zheng watched Shen Wan eat, she felt a bit sour. Later, she came up with a way to taste the fried chicken legs – by kissing Shen Wan more often. She could taste the flavor without gaining weight, killing two birds with one stone.

“Zheng Zheng, you’re such a clever woman to come up with such a brilliant idea,” Shen Wan said, wiping her mouth with a tissue and checking herself in a small mirror. Sure enough, most of her lipstick was gone, with some smeared around her lips.

Seeing Shen Wan’s resigned expression, Dong Zheng pulled her to sit down and helped her wipe her lips, carefully reapplying her lipstick. “The troubles with Li Corporation have been resolved. Ah Zhan called to say he’ll be back in a few days.”

“Oh, that’s great news indeed.”

Shen Wan made a mental note of this. Although the company’s troubles were resolved and their opponents were likely severely weakened by Li Zhan, she believed they wouldn’t give up so easily.

Thinking of an event from the original plot, Shen Wan became serious.

The story had mentioned that Li Corporation’s issues eventually affected Dong Zheng. To get leverage over Li Zhan, the opponents had Dong Zheng kidnapped. An accident occurred during the process, resulting in Dong Zheng’s death.

She hadn’t started a security company just to help Li Zhan; she was worried about her Zheng Zheng’s safety. It seemed she needed to arrange some protection to prevent any preemptive moves from their enemies.

“What are you thinking about?” Dong Zheng noticed Shen Wan’s distraction.

Shen Wan blinked. “You don’t want to go on any business trips recently, right? If there are any business activities, take me with you. Consider me your bodyguard.”

“Wan Wan, are you implying that you can’t bear to be away from me for even a moment?” Dong Zheng said with a smile in her eyes. “If that’s the case, I’ll take you with me wherever I go.”

Shen Wan thought to herself: This woman! She’s even more shameless than me! Her thick skin rivals the city walls.

After dealing with Li Corporation’s troubles, Li Zhan finally had time to ponder how the confidential documents could have been leaked.

He could guarantee that these documents had never left his office. The only people who could have leaked them were company insiders, likely someone close to him.

He had been investigating for several days, ruling out those around him one by one. All suspicious individuals had been thoroughly checked multiple times, revealing no issues or unusual behavior or financial transfers.

For a moment, he found himself at an impasse. There was also that mysterious text message – who was behind it? Why did they help him, and what was their purpose? These puzzles left him feeling surrounded by an impenetrable fog.

“Ah Zhan, what’s wrong?” Xia Xuan felt nervous. Ever since she had scanned those documents, she had been living in constant anxiety.

When she heard that Li Corporation was in trouble, she didn’t dare cling to Li Zhan, fearing he might notice something was amiss.

To her surprise, Li Corporation had somehow escaped disaster. Apparently, Li Zhan had a backup plan. Even so, it had kept the entire company busy like spinning tops, with many people not having been home for over two weeks.

Xia Xuan didn’t dare ask about these matters, afraid Li Zhan might discover something.

Li Zhan, who had been lost in thought, came back to reality upon hearing Xia Xuan’s voice. He glanced at her, feeling something was odd. Thinking carefully, he realized he had been at the company for over two weeks, and Xia Xuan had called him every day. Later, knowing he was busy, she only sent caring text messages or brought him soup and meals.

Still, something felt off.

“Ah Zhan, where are we going today? Have you finished with the company matters?” Seeing Li Zhan not speaking, Xia Xuan remembered they hadn’t been intimate for over two weeks and decided to nurture their relationship. Meanwhile, the person threatening her made her very uneasy. Now that Li Corporation’s crisis was over, she didn’t know if they would ask her to do something else.

A flash of realization struck Li Zhan’s mind. He finally understood what was wrong.

Given Xia Xuan’s proud nature, how could she not complain even once about him being so busy? The Xia Xuan he knew wasn’t like this.

Li Zhan’s clear eyes swept over Xia Xuan briefly before quickly looking away. “Xuan Xuan, I haven’t been home for over two weeks. Auntie has been very worried. I’ll go back to see her today, and we can go out together tomorrow.”

Xia Xuan showed no displeasure, thinking it was appropriate.

Li Zhan’s heart sank. In the past, if Xia Xuan heard him say something like this, she would immediately put on a difficult expression and act coquettishly, expressing her dissatisfaction. Now, she was being too understanding.

They parted ways, and Li Zhan arrived at Dong Zheng’s home with a heavy heart, ringing the doorbell.

Shen Wan opened the door, and seeing her, his mood immediately soured. Why was this woman still here?

He walked in and noticed fresh flowers everywhere, with many of the decorations changed.

He also noticed the shoe rack, and the sight nearly made him lose his voice. Why were there so many more shoes? Judging by the sizes and styles, they weren’t his aunt’s.

“Is that Ah Zhan?” Dong Zheng came downstairs and walked to Shen Wan’s side, naturally putting her arm around Shen Wan’s waist. The intimate gesture between the two dealt Li Zhan a heavy blow.

It couldn’t be what he was thinking, could it?

Impossible, he must be seeing things.

“Auntie,” Li Zhan managed to say with difficulty, “Chairman Shen is here too.”

Why are you two so close?

“Ah Zhan, there’s something I need to tell you,” Dong Zheng said with a smile.

Li Zhan thought to himself: I don’t want to hear it. I refuse!
