Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess

Chapter 270: Selena Tang (19) <2-in-1>

The woman whispered to herself that she was doing this because she wanted to return to the carefree days she used to have before. She would no longer be pestered by her family, threatened using her inheritance. Liu De and her would be able to meet more often.

However, a while later, she actually gritted her teeth, recalling her most recent fight with the male lead. The memory put her in a bad mood. The reason for the fight was her lack of time for him because she was busy with regaining her grandfather's faith and love for her. She really disliked how that lover of her kept finding fault in her instead of helping her by not stressing her out. Did he think she was not aware of his other women?

Mo Zan seemed to have yet realized that each day, she was growing dissatisfied with the male lead. Her innate personality was also surfacing faced with Qin Tai, her former vice president who had caused her some big headaches.

The latter kept running away from her and rejecting her proposals and advancements, so she kept chasing him and trying out ways to get him to notice her again. Deeply ingrained in her bones was the urge to dominate and conquer, so since Qin Tai kept slipping away, her pride and desire to conquer surfaced.

He said they should enjoy themselves and forget the stressful matters?

Mo Zan briefly swept her gaze around while taking a swig from her glass. Seeing there were no guests coming towards their direction, she swallowed the wine and let it flow down her throat. The moist redness of her lips appeared especially charming under the warm glow from the moonlight.

The man saw that she closed her eyes for a while, looking as if she would be choking at any given time. However, a moment later, she opened them and then took large strides toward him.

The glint in her misty eyes was dangerous, at least in his perspective. She remained charming, but Qin Tai was way past the point where he would have no choice but be enraptured by her beauty.  

"I think our talk is done so I will be leaving." He couldn't help but say, planning to walk away.

"No. Stay!" The woman yelled in an authoritative manner after noticing his subtle movements.

To be honest, Qin Tai was offended by her tone, reminded of the days when she was working for her instead of his family's business, taking in her angry roars, just to be near her. How stupid he was back then?

"Mo Zan. I know you're intelligent so you should be aware that I'm already done with you. Have some decency!" The man looked away and held her on place by the shoulders when she tried to embrace him. Disgust was painted in his face as he evaded her lips that keep seeking his cheek and mouth.

"No! Don't think I'll let you get away again!" She replied, a fire could be seen in her eyes, but who knew if that was out of anger, or something else?

Her tone was strange when she continued, "Qin Tai. Can you please stop acting like this? Your objective is now achieved. I'm interested in you. Aren't you supposed to be happy? I have to look for you everywhere and think of you days and nights after you suddenly annulled our engagement. My family forced me into this. Still, you successfully captured my attention so I persisted in trying to get you back.  So why do you keep testing my patience?"

Mo Zan probably simply lost reason since she felt that her pride had been challenged so much already. In her mind, the man still loved her and was only being cold to him so she would have to chase after him. The chase had been going on for months. It was time to end it.

"Miss, I think you're drunk and need some sober soup or splashes of water on your face." Face crumpled, his tone held sarcasm.

"I'm sober!" she replied firmly. She was feeling ashamed, but her situation would not allow her to back out, so she just pressed forward. Trying to put her arms around his neck and pull down his tie.

Her actions led the man to sport a complicated expression in his face. Why was the goddess he used to pursue before acting like this today? Did she know her speech and deeds were just making him regret liking her before?

He greatly disliked what she was doing. So he put more strength in his hands and pushed her away. He felt that he should have done this earlier, even though the woman cried out in pain and shot him a look full of complaints.

"Qin Tai, you never hurt me before. You changed"

"I didn't change. I simply realized we're impossible. Sorry, Mo Zan. I don't like you anymore."

The other, after steadying herself, looked up at him in shock. The shock was then replaced by disbelief. She shook her head and said to deny his claim, "I don't believe you. If you do, why didn't you push me much earlier? Is this another attention-seeking tactic of yours? Huh, Mr. Qin?"

"You should be hearing yourself clearly." He shook his head, finding it unbelievable how highly she was thinking of herself. "I hope you realize how sounded and acted just now. It's absolutely disgraceful." While saying that, he took a couple of steps back, then turned around.

The woman left behind there gave a dumbfounded expression. Her gaze was vacant as she watched the man leave her behind, going further and further away from her.

The guy she always ignored before was walking away from her. He strode with confidence inside, welcomed by his friends. A smile that was miles better and more radiant than the one he gave her earlier showed on his face.

So he could actually make such a captivating expression?

For a moment, she could not move her gaze away from the man. She felt like there was something she missed out. Or maybe, it was her heart that seemed to have skipped a beat.

However, the feeling did not last for more than three seconds. It was as if it was never there in the first place. 

Mo Zan hurriedly shook off the unnecessary thoughts and closed her eyes.

Not long after, she was back to her real, indifferent self. Gone was the seemingly mad woman who nearly 'assaulted' a guy. In her place was somebody who awed the entertainment circle for making Dreamer a company standing at the same level as Starlight, the previously sole king of the showbiz world.

Mo Zan looked away from the radiant scene inside and walked towards the balcony. She raised the other glass which only had half of its original content remaining. The rest had spilled on the ground when she got pushed away by Qin Tai.

Thankfully, only a few drops got on her dress and since the color of it was black, it would not be noticeable. However, that did not stop her from thinking that she should get a change of clothing as soon as possible.

The woman would have bolted into one of the break rooms, if not for waiting for a certain person to appear on her sight.

She did not wait long and before she finished the remaining drink in her glass, a shadow showed up next to hers. Words were exchanged between her and the newcomer.

Before they parted and mingled with the crowd inside again, Mo Zan flatly said, "I don't plan to engage in any more games with him. Please forward everything nice you captured to the old man of the Qin family. Make sure to pick the ones with the most ambiguous positions."

As she walked away from the place, she heard a hum of agreement from behind.

"Brother Qin, that Mo Zan is quite hilarious. We saw it. She threw herself to you! How's the feeling of somebody you liked before jumping into your arms in her own volition?" tauntingly, an impossibly handsome man with red ruby piercing on the left ear named Zhao Ming, asked. He was a fairly known model, with the international stage name, Dwight.

The moment Qin Tai sat down, he laughed. "Don't ask. It's horrible. Before, I just thought she's doing this to regain my family's cooperation. After all, even though our families are rivals in the entertainment circle, we used to support each other in the other industries. I didn't know she would suddenly become like that."

"Well, if you don't like the woman and she jumped at you like a creep, I bet you felt like you're being raped," commented the politician's son in a serious manner. The man, Wen Hui, spoke by experience. He shook his head to chase some unpleasant memories away.

The others didn't know about it, so they shot him an amused look.

Meanwhile, Qin Tai roamed his eyes around and realized somebody was missing apart from their former producer. "By the way, did Gao Jing go home already?" he asked.

"I'm here." Suddenly, the painter's low and raspy voice rang from the left.

The tall man with a scholarly and restrained air around him could be seen making his way towards them, one of his hands was covering his ear. Based on his slightly distorted face, the painter quite disliked the noises around, especially the weird classical music with irregular tempo.

"Hmm. I thought you have left."

"Nope. I saw something more interesting than some lady clinging onto you, Mr. CEO." The man threw his phone to Qin Tai. After the man caught it and looked at the displayed picture, no, video, he only blanked out for a moment, before bursting into laughter.

Seeing him like that made the other guys curious, they snatched Gao Jing's phone from him so they could take a glimpse of the secret. Qin Tai was too busy laughing to resist the thieving hands.

"Ah? So all along, this woman is acting?" In a tone filled with amazement, the model exclaimed. His eyes were glued to the scene playing on the screen.

Wen Hui's look of astonishment was not on what was playing on the phone, but towards Gao Jing. "Hey, Mr. Painter. I salute you. I have no idea how you realized there's something more to President Mo's actions, but Brother Qin will be saved due to you."

"Small matters," the painter replied, taking a seat too beside Wen Hui. "I thought this lady boss finally realized our CEO's greatness. A pity"

He grabbed a glass of water and then took a few mouthfuls. However, he didn't swallow everything in one go. Gao Jing was mindful of the intake of liquid since he read from somewhere it was not healthy to drink and swallow in large gulps.

His companions thought it was a quirk of an artist. But anyway, they didn't comment about it. They were more interested in the drama staged by the woman and what she planned to do with the misleading photos her paparazzi gathered.

Zhao Ming jokingly told his friend, "Mr. Qin, you better be careful of blackmail."

"Yeah, you should. Why else would a woman angry at you hired some paparazzi if not to frame you or blackmail you?"

"Well, maybe, it's not to be used against me, but on someone else?"

The man teased then once again roared in laughter. Afterward, he shook his head. As he engaged in a guessing game with the men, he was actually sinking into deep thoughts.

He let go of the past love, but instead of feeling like he lost the world, he actually regained himself and what should belong to him, and even made new friends, who were quite irritating at times but were still reliable.

He thought, there was simply nothing to regret. Or maybe there was. That he should have woken up from his dream much earlier.
