Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess

Chapter 294: Selena Tang (43)



Chapter 294: Selena Tang (43)

'She said she recently watched what? NSFW?'

Jiang Li stared blankly at her for some time before his hand automatically ruffled her head. His eyes darkened, unknown emotions started brewing within. He extremely disliked that she saw something that should not be seen... And he was referring not what to could be seen from Mo Fang...

He said in a chastising tone, "Don't watch those kinds of things again." 

'Damn, I'm regretting releasing those materials. Pixelated or not, it's making me so annoyed now that this hard-headed woman is involved.'

She hissed in annoyance since her hair was styled into a ponytail and if it was messed up, she would have to redo it again. Her hand slapped his away. "Wait. Let me just clarify. It's not my fault that somebody spread those things around. And don't treat me like some pure nun. I'm twenty-seven and I'm a writer!"

Selena was a bit angered and also confounded, because the guy placed more importance on the fact that she saw something NSFW than how his ex-wife committed something abominable before divorced and that she was now tailing them, thoughts and motives unknown.

"Ah Xiang" From behind them, a voice rang.

'See. The b*tch is going after you.' Selena blatantly rolled her eyes at him.

Jiang Li blinked his innocent eyes, purposely showing he had no part in this. Deep down, he was feeling a bit regretful that he didn't ensure that the shameless woman would not be able to leave Beijing.

'This is an oversight on my part. I never thought the reporters, paparazzi, and hostile fans in this world are so lenient that they let a scandalous celebrity goes out of the house.'

Inwardly, he shook his head, never stopping as he led Selena outside the floating restaurant. A group of people came in just as the pair stepped out of the exit. For a reason inexplicable to them, they suddenly found themselves repeatedly barring the way for the heavily disguised woman. 

As guessed by Selena, it was indeed Mo Fang, red-eyed from seeing her ex-husband getting along and even having lunch together. She called him out before he left, but he seemed to have not heard him. Pesky people obstructed her way when she tried to chase after them. This was why when she finally made it to the outside, her ex-husband and the hateful woman had already boarded a private boat. 

Without the actress' knowledge, she got hypnotized numerous times before and managed to build up a bit of resistance or immunity due to the repeated cases. This was why Jiang Li who was determined to leave her behind, simply influenced the newcomers to block her on his behalf. Then he acted as if he never saw her, that never discovered her sudden appearance at the place.

"Ah Xiang." A helpless whisper escaped from her lips when she realized there was no way she would be able to catch up to them. The restaurant was like a flat ship anchored a bit distance away from a bridge so a boat was needed to travel back and forth the place. It was usually a praised uniqueness of the restaurant but ironically it became a stumbling block for her.

Mo Fang would never forget the hate she felt in her heart as she watched the man she wanted to reclaim for herself smiling gently at  Selena Tang whose out of this world beauty was barely hidden by her sunglasses. Why was it her again? Had he already fallen for that person? The more she thought about it, the more the heaviness in her heart grew.

'I feel like someone is drilling holes in my back.'

The scriptwriter had a hunch the scandalous actress was watching her with killer eyes, so she turned around. No expression could be seen from Selena's face as she studied how warped and intense the emotions on Mo Fang's face was. Later, she would make sure to jot down everything she recalled as materials for her future works.

When she had enough of the other's wonderful expression, she returned her gaze to Jiang Li. The man was busy rowing the boat that he had rented. A glimmer of admiration flashed across her eyes since it was apparent to her that he was not struggling in dictating the direction of the boat.  

First-timers would probably downplay the difficulty of rowing for the first time. But actually, it would always be a challenge on how to properly control the paddles and make the boat go the desired direction.

She knew this by experience because when she was still abroad, she tried boating with her adventurous friends on one of the most tamed and safest lakes. The boat they rented only had a pair of paddles which meant those two curved planks would be all that they would use to navigate the serene waters. Her face burned in shame after recalling that as when it was her turn to row, she splendidly managed to collide their boat more than five times with others. In fact, there was even one boat holding a couple which almost capsized That was the first time she experienced how wonderful the English language could be when scolding people, albeit the scolding was directed at her.

Selena could only say that it had been a valuable and memorable experience, one that she would never be proud of.

'Did he learn this from one of his trips? Or he had already done it before for somebody else? For example, Mo Fang?' Her eyes narrowed in suspicion.

Although she was liking the smooth journey, she could not enjoy it to the fullest due to his ex-wife. How weird that she felt like that actress was a lot more annoying than her fake sister... To think all that woman did was to call out Jiang Li's previous name. She was feeling so much gloomier than when she visited the Tang mansion a week ago.

The boat trip ended shortly. The man jumped out smoothly and turned around to secure the boat from drifting away by itself using his left hand. He then extended the right one to help her get off.

"Let's be quick and not give that woman a chance to disturb our sightseeing. I don't want to be further followed by a stalker. Where should we go next?"

Her eyes were not that friendly due to the last thought she had in mind, so her voice was quite cold when she blurted, "Cemetery."

"Huh?" Jiang Li found it hard not to raise his brow at the answer he received. Cemetery? Looking at the frosty face she donned, he suddenly had a scary guess and his smile turned awkward.

Could it be.... this girl became too jealous and angry so she wanted to bury him?

In just a few minutes, she had become that violent?

It had taken him twenty minutes before he discovered what Selena meant. It was another attraction at the city called Cemetery of Pessimism, a place that could be reached simply through walking down the stone pathway on the left side of the short bridge.

While the name was like that, it was not really a cemetery, but a garden surrounding an amphitheater.

He should have known that the girl would not suggest or want to bury him since it was still broad daylight. His misconducts were also not that bad to elicit much hate from her, probably.
