Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess

Chapter 454: Chang Xia (1)

Wang Yu Yan remembered that on her second day in outer space, she just woke up inside a cabin. 

Because the place was vastly different from where she was supposed to be, she immediately realized she was no longer in the shuttle. 

'Is this one of the starships belonging to mankind?' she wondered.

To confirm her suspicion, she tapped her wrist. Then fell silent upon seeing a red dot appearing on her messaging app icon. Surprisingly, she was able to connect to a network. It seemed her colleagues discovered her online status too, so she was being bombarded with messages.

Wang Yu Yan suppressed the panic in her heart and looked through the list of senders. Her savior, and practically, humanity's savior, was not around, her hunch telling her that she would no longer see him anymore.

Seeing Jiang Li's name there and the red number 1 next to it, she felt a bit empty, the departure of the mysterious guy left her at a loss. The feeling was not because she liked the person. But because she felt like she owed him big time and had not yet returned the favor. 

'He left a message. Did he at least mention some requests so that I can feel better?' 

She tapped the icon. 

Surprisingly her wish became reality. 

"To compensate me, look after XXX on my behalf." 

Reading this, relief washed over her. She read the message carefully once more, then opened a separate window to look for the person mentioned in the database. Upon seeing it was a six-year-old girl, she wondered if this was his daughter or close relatives. 

However, the next few words that she read after scrolling down his text made her confused for a long while. 

"Remember, don't let her marry anyone," it said. 

What kind of request was this? Was this some sort of revenge play targeted against someone using the little girl as the instrument? She didn't know whether to call this cruel or retarded. 

"Tell her the boys of your era are stupid and ugly. Also, make sure to educate her about the awesomeness of a demigod called Jiang Li." 

This time, Wang Yu Yan froze. The uncanny thoughts that flickered in her mind rendered her flabbergasted, to the point that the coordinates of a certain planet written at the very bottom were neglected for a full minute.

"You there! Stop!"

The noon sun shone brightly that day, as if it would just be any other ordinary day for the regular people. Yet something unexpected happened in one of the busier streets of the city. 

"I will support you so you won't lack anything since I would be the one to provide you whatever you need. Be it support on your career or money to spend on random stuff. I'm really, really rich! I'm really serious!"

A lovely but slightly desperate voice rang in that populated street. Three people were standing on the pavement right in front of a flower shop. Two were male. One was female. One of the men stood one step behind the beautiful young lady who just spoke, dressed in a neat black suit. The girl was in a knee-length black and white stripe dress and was wearing a pair of five-inch black high heels. Her getup and the air of haughtiness around her screamed the fact that she was a rich brat.

The words that she just said normally it would have sounded romantic to the ears, that was if the man was her lover. But what if they were all people who met just a couple of minutes ago?

"Why are you not saying anything?" She pouted at the incredibly handsome guy standing before her. 

She couldn't see the scared expression on the face of her chauffeur and the look of pity that others gave to the young man. The latter batted his eyes and his mouth opened slightly. 

He must have been badly shocked, thought Mr. Liu who had also received quite the shock. 'Should I grab her and drag her away now?' This chauffeur started to have these thoughts, merely hesitating due to his humble identity. 

"Miss. Are you perhaps talking to me?" 

Meanwhile, Jiang Li who had just woken up in a new body looked blankly at the girl. Then when he recovered his senses and realized what just happened, he turned his head to one side without breaking eye contact with the young lady. Confusion could still be faintly seen on his face.

She nodded and smiled. "Yes, you! I want you to be my boyfriend! No, my fianc! Your face is to my liking so I want to support you!" 

'What's happening?'

Jiang Li looked at his reflection in the one-way glass door of the nearby shop and saw his current appearance. Blinking once, he found that his face did not change. If not for the set of clothes that he was wearing, he would have thought he was still in the futuristic world. 

'I must be back.'

A no-brand white shirt and no-brand pair of black pants. He took a deep breath, wondering in what year and time he returned to. 

Then remembered that him wearing clothes like this only happened in his first lifetime. It was when he, a rebellious fresh graduate, ran away from home and his angered parents stopped his cards. 

He just took a walk after getting frustrated by the lack of money in his wallet when he got stopped by a seemingly insane young woman who wanted to bring him back as her boy toy. 

Had it not been for the memories that got revived by the system, he would have not recalled that such an incident ever happened in his first lifetime. After all, one would always want to forget any embarrassing experiences that they had.

Jiang Li faced the idiot no, the cute young lady who was still haughtily staring at him. However, probably because his eyes stayed on her face for more than ten seconds, she suddenly felt conscious and blushed. She whispered to herself that this guy's appearance was really fatal, the most attractive of all that she had seen so far. 

'I'd bring this guy home without fail,' she silently encouraged herself. 

"Miss," his voice rang, knocking her out of stupor.

Jiang Li said, "You should be perfectly aware that this is our first meeting." 

"Yes." The girl, Chang Xia, nodded.

Because he fell silent, she looked at him with incomprehension. "Is there a problem?"

'A problem?'

Then she heard him burst into laughter. 

Although the man's voice was pleasing to the ears, she realized the reason that he laughed was her. In no time, she recovered from the daze. To cover up her embarrassment that came late, she fiercely said, "Hey, why the hell are you laughing!"

Jiang Li looked around, then chuckled again. The weather was nice so there were a lot of people on the streets. The place was noisy. But the girl's voice just now was very loud, so he was sure that many heard what she said. 

If he was still the thin-skinned Jiang Li, he would have reddened from shame already. Or throw a fit and then walk away. Which man would feel good being offered to be raised by a female stranger younger than him? 

But this time, Jiang Li just laughed and looked at her with amusement. 

"Are you really serious about what you just said?" he asked. 

"Of course!" Without even thinking about it, the girl repeatedly bobbed her head. The determination that flashed in her eyes made her look both stupid and cute. 

"Miss, this is really inappropriate."

Jiang Li crossed his arms and asked again, stealing a glance at the sour-faced chauffeur who tried to reason to the girl. "Do you even know what it means to support a man?" 

"I do!" Chang Xia who kept ignoring the middle-aged man stepped forward as if she wanted to bring her face closer so he could see how serious she was.

She enumerated everything she knew.

Jiang Li was dumbfounded for a moment. But shortly, a peal of laughter escaped from him as he could not believe the situation he just landed himself in. 

The chauffeur, who had been hesitating whether to grab her away or not, could not stand it anymore and pulled her away. "Miss, we should really go back. Young sir, I'm sorry Please treat this as something that did not happen. Come on, Miss." 

"Wait." The girl escaped and ran back to Jiang Li. 

Her cheeks were still tainted red since from the beginning, she noticed that some people began to watch them with curiosity and laughter in their eyes.

However, she felt that she would regret this if she did not do this now. Therefore, she acted fast, without much care about what others would think of her. Anyway, these people would not be part of her life in the future. There was little to no chance of encountering them again. But the man was different. They were strangers, so if she let this fateful encounter end just like that, she felt like the two of them would no longer have any fate. Besides, even when he looked frustrated and annoyed, he already looked captivating for her. Now that he was laughing and smiling at her, she felt like it would be a sin to not tie him to herself.

Every smart person would definitely agree that she did the right thing.

"Wait! What's your answer first?" Although the girl was blushing, her expression was serious as she tilted her head up to look him in the eyes. 

Mr. Liu sighed then gave Jiang Li a warning look. The other man was actually scary, looking like an unordinary person. 

However, to Jiang Li who already went through several worlds, the stares had no effect. He was still looking at the girl, finding her extremely interesting.

'I finally remembered that the previous me immediately ran away.'

A corner of his lips curled up. But he shook his head, to the disappointment of Chang Xia and relief of her chauffeur. 

However, a moment later, he spoke again. "Okay."

Chang Xia looked at him with disbelief. Then she asked absentmindedly. "You agree?"

He met her eyes and nodded. "Why not?"

'He really agreed!' 

A broad smile started to form on the girl's lips and happiness danced in her eyes. However, around them, several jaws almost reached the ground as they digested his shameless reply.

But the person himself did say it.

Right now, he was still grinning, inwardly thinking to himself. 

'Now, I know why I have no impression of you here.'

In his previous lifetime, he did what he considered the right thing.

Yet now, in this lifetime, he deemed doing the same stupid. 

The efficiency, generosity, and decisiveness of the girl were truly worthy of admiration. Chang Xia did not hesitate to mobilize her family's connections and money. In just two hours, Jiang Li was brought to his new fully furnished apartment, a high-end one located near a famous ocean park. There was even a car bought under his name, paid in full. His belongings had also been picked up.

The butler who was made to do all of these eyed Jiang Li evilly. At the same time, a strange glint flashed in his eyes because he noticed that there were several expensive items in the small place that the young man previously rented.

'Is this the reason this young man immediately agreed? He's used to being raised?' 

Thinking of this, he became angrier. Although Mr. Liu perfectly executed Chang Xia's orders, he did not hesitate to report the matter to her parents. 

Meanwhile, when the girl saw that he had too few sets of clothes and other personal items, she felt so distressed that she did not hesitate to drag him into a city-famous apparel shop. 

The amusement in Jiang Li's eyes was tinged with nostalgia. He almost thought he was back to being the exclusive ghost pet of a certain someone.

It was not until night fell that she separated from him. Chang Xia lived in her parents' house and had not yet thought of actually living together with Jiang Li.. No, her mind was not that impure yet. However, she really looked reluctant when she stepped out of the apartment.

"Remember to call me," she said with a pout. 

"En," he replied with his sweetest smile, making her face flushed. At that moment, he felt like he was an evil guy deceiving innocent little girls with his face. No wonder Mr. Liu's expression turned uglier as he glared fiercely at him. 

Jiang Li closed the door of his new place when the car parked right outside left. A couple of moments later, the smile on his face disappeared.

It was now time to recall the reason for his return and review the plot.
