Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (Quick Transmigration)

Friday, 6:30 PM.

Dong Zheng’s doorbell rang. She was wearing loungewear and carrying tableware when Shen Wan brought out the last dish from the kitchen.

The two had met by chance today. It wasn’t Shen Wan deliberately engineering the encounter; she had gone to meet a big client who wanted to renew their contract for five years. After the meeting, she happened to run into Dong Zheng.

The situation unfolded like this:

Dong Zheng: “You’re all smiles. Must have encountered something good. Did another boss want to renew their contract?”

Of course, what could make Shen Wan happy other than contract renewals? Especially those for three to five years, which meant both she and her bodyguards would be paid. How could she not be happy? By assigning most of the company’s bodyguards, she could continue training new people, as the training ground, no matter how large, couldn’t accommodate over a hundred people training at once.

If no bosses signed them, they’d only get basic wages, which wasn’t good news for her or the bodyguards.

Shen Wan: “Yes, indeed.”

Shen Wan, who had originally planned to go to the parking lot to get her car, silently abandoned that idea and secretly withdrew her hand that had reached into her bag for the car keys.

With Miss Dong here, there was no need to drive back herself.

Dong Zheng took the initiative to ask, “Did you drive here? If not, I can give you a lift.”

“I didn’t drive,” Shen Wan quickly said. “Although I got my license earlier, I’m still not very familiar with driving, and this client’s place is too far from the company. Well, I’ll have to trouble Miss Dong again.”

After saying this, Shen Wan had already slipped into the car and fastened her seatbelt, casually saying, “Miss Dong, since you’ve given me a lift, let me treat you to dinner? I just made some money anyway.”

“Alright.”

After driving for a while, Shen Wan suddenly said, “Actually, I think the food outside is just so-so. I just remembered it’s Friday. Why don’t we go to the market and buy some ingredients to cook at home?”

Dong Zheng agreed almost without hesitation.

Thus, we have the current situation with Shen Wan at Dong Zheng’s house.

Now they had prepared a sumptuous dinner together and were about to eat.

But the doorbell rang, and Dong Zheng had to go answer it to see who had come.

She opened the door to find Li Zhan standing there in a well-tailored suit, looking cool. After she opened the door, his expression softened a bit. The aroma from inside wafted to the doorway, causing him to instinctively peek inside.

This action made Dong Zheng shift her body to block his view.

“Do you need something?”

Dong Zheng just stood in the doorway, showing no intention of letting Li Zhan in, and even turned herself into a human wall, trying to prevent Li Zhan from seeing the situation inside clearly.

Smelling the aroma from inside, Li Zhan knew Shen Wan must be there. The cooking skills of the housekeeper Aunt A that Dong Zheng hired weren’t this good, making one salivate just from the smell.

“Shen Wan is here again?” Li Zhan was a bit speechless. How did his noble and aloof aunt end up hanging out with Shen Wan?

Although Shen Wan’s abilities had impressed him lately, he still felt these two women were from completely different worlds.

“Say what you need to say.” Dong Zheng still showed no intention of moving aside.

Li Zhan couldn’t help but speak up, “Aunt, can I come in? We can talk inside. I was planning to hire a few more bodyguards. Did she bring that big bag today?”

That bag that could hold a full load of contracts – Li Zhan still remembered it vividly.

Dong Zheng finally moved aside. “It would have been better if you came earlier or later. Why did you have to come right at mealtime? If you want to discuss business, couldn’t you just send your subordinates to Shen Wan’s company?”

Li Zhan couldn’t help feeling depressed. Was this his dear aunt?

Was she complaining that he shouldn’t have come at mealtime and eaten her food? It didn’t sit well with him at all. His aunt seemed to no longer be his aunt, not the one who only doted on him.

He came in and saw Shen Wan, but all his attention was drawn to the table full of delicious food. Over these days, Shen Wan’s cooking skills had improved, and the food was getting tastier.

With her nasty nephew here, Dong Zheng couldn’t bring herself to let him go without eating, so she had to add an extra set of dishes and chopsticks.

After the meal, Li Zhan saw that familiar large bag and had an “I knew it” look on his face. He asked Shen Wan about hiring a few bodyguards, and they quickly signed a contract. Those bodyguards would report to him tomorrow.

After doing all this, Li Zhan found Shen Wan and Dong Zheng’s gazes on him, and he understood their meaning: Why aren’t you leaving yet?

He almost jumped up. Couldn’t he stay a bit longer?

“Zhan, aren’t you going home yet?” Dong Zheng asked directly.

Li Zhan said calmly, “I’m about to leave. By the way, Aunt, since it’s still early, why don’t I send Miss Shen home?” Of course, he had no other intentions in offering to send Shen Wan home. He just felt it was very strange for her to be here and had an urge to send her back as soon as possible.

“I don’t think that’s a good idea. What if your Xia Xuan makes a fuss? It would cause trouble for Shen Wan,” Dong Zheng reminded him, remembering their past relationship. Her tone wasn’t very pleasant. “Don’t tell me Xia Xuan is a little white rabbit, magnanimous and never jealous?”

Li Zhan silently looked at the two of them, realizing he indeed couldn’t send Shen Wan home. If Xuan Xuan happened to see them, it would be very troublesome.

“But it’s Friday. Didn’t Xia Xuan come to have a date with you?” Dong Zheng asked an additional question.

Li Zhan replied, “Xuan Xuan is quite busy and won’t be coming today. It’s good timing actually, as I’m preparing to secure a big project. Everyone’s busy, so I don’t have to worry about neglecting her.”

Hearing about the big project, Shen Wan perked up.

Xia Xuan was busy? Busy entangling with the villain, most likely, since he was also very interested in this project. Xia Xuan naturally liked Li Zhan, though not very much, but a little bit. Plus, she had already decided to settle down and live a peaceful life with Li Zhan.

When first threatened, Xia Xuan didn’t immediately agree to the other party’s demands but kept trying to find a compromise. Li Zhan, who could have cleared everything up for her, absolutely couldn’t know about this matter.

So, just a couple of days after returning to the country, she was busy negotiating terms with the other party, not developing her own career.

After negotiating for so long without reaching an agreement, Xia Xuan must have run out of options.

“Zhan, you should go back and get busy.”

Li Zhan glanced at Shen Wan, his meaning clear: What about her?

Dong Zheng couldn’t help but smile, “Shen Wan will stay at my place tonight. She didn’t drive here; I picked her up. When I go to the office tomorrow, I can drop her off on the way.”

Li Zhan clenched his fist. It was like this again. Then he silently left. If his aunt wanted to be friends with someone, what could he do about it?

“Xiao Hu, my car is left at the XX parking lot. Please arrange for someone to go and retrieve it for me.”

Assistant Xiao Hu: “……” Left in the parking lot again? Her boss’s memory was really bad, even forgetting her car. She wondered how the boss got back. Oh, she probably didn’t go home, maybe she met Miss Dong on the way and chatted so happily that she ended up staying at Miss Dong’s place.

188: Sigh…… That’s the truth.

After making this call, Shen Wan lay down to sleep.

Dong Zheng, who had originally planned to bring Shen Wan a glass of milk, stood at the door, finally looking at the closed door. She picked up the glass of milk in her hand and took a sip. Silently turning around, she deliberately lightened her footsteps.

She’d drink two glasses tonight.

The slight curve of her lips, still with traces of milk, which she saw as she passed a mirror, couldn’t ruin her good mood.

After washing the glass, she surveyed the living room and then went online to order many flowers. Of course, these weren’t for giving to someone, but to be delivered early in the morning to be placed in every corner of the villa. Living in a place full of flowers would surely be very nice, right?

Waking up to see all kinds of flowers would definitely put one in a good mood.

The next morning, when Shen Wan got up, washed, and went downstairs to make breakfast, she opened the door to see several vases full of beautiful flowers in the hallway. She could still see drops of dew on the petals that hadn’t dried yet.

As she walked down, she found flowers in every corner of the villa, as if she were living in a flowery fairyland.

Breakfast had also been prepared. It looked simple, prepared by Dong Zheng.

“Miss Dong, are you planning to sell flowers?”

Dong Zheng’s face wore a smile, “No, I just felt good and suddenly wanted to buy some flowers to put around the house.”

Shen Wan: But isn’t this too much? Is there really no other reason?

“By the way, they delivered the flowers too early and didn’t wake you up. Do you want some flowers in your room?”

Shen Wan nodded, “Are there any left?”

“Yes, there are.”

Dong Zheng pointed to the dining table. “Let’s eat first. I’ve already called the housekeeper. She’ll arrange the flowers in your room later.”

The two ate breakfast quietly. Soon, the housekeeper arrived. Dong Zheng told her that the remaining flowers were on the balcony and asked her to trim them and put them in Shen Wan’s room.

Then Shen Wan saw the housekeeper bring out a basket of red roses from the balcony. She was stunned for a moment and blurted out, “They’re all red roses?”

Shen Wan: “Brother 8, what do you think she means? She must have taken a liking to me, right?”

188: This is where I should play dead. Isn’t it obvious? This sickeningly sweet love is corroding me, a single system. What a great irony that I’m wearing a couple’s skin.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you like red roses? I have other flowers in my room. Do you want to switch?”

“No, no, I quite like red roses. They look festive,” Shen Wan said. What a joke, red roses are the most beautiful flowers.

Dong Zheng’s smile deepened, “You shouldn’t be too busy today, right?”

“I’m not busy today.”

“What a coincidence, I’m not busy either.” Dong Zheng lowered her eyes and said softly, “There’s a new movie out recently. I heard it’s quite good. Why don’t we go watch it later? It feels strange to go alone.”

“Sure, I’ve been wanting to see the recent movies too. I was thinking of going alone before, but I also felt it was strange.”

Dong Zheng couldn’t contain her smile. “After the movie, I was planning to go shopping at the mall. It’s been a long time since I bought clothes. Do you want to come?”

Shen Wan nodded, “Let’s go. I have time anyway. I’m a boss now, after all. Xiao Hu has been telling me to pay attention to my image, to pick out some better clothes and have a few suits tailored.”

(Xiao Hu: I never said that.)

188: Is this amusing??
