My lord, hold me tight! (Quick Transmigration)

He wore a pure black suit with a striped black shirt, no tie, and the top two buttons of his shirt were undone, revealing his elegant neckline.

He had one hand in his pocket, a captivating smile playing on his lips, a mix of domineering and tenderness, and the doting look in his eyes reserved only for one person.

Qi Nuan remained unmoved. Looking at Liang Ye, who had clearly "dressed up," she wondered if he was here to see Le Wen.

Qi Nuan dismissed the thought as soon as it crossed her mind, because Liang Ye was walking towards her. When she was completely unprepared, he stopped in front of her and said softly, "Filming wrapped up?"

She was still wearing her costume, a red ancient costume, but her hair was tied up and there was bloodstain at the corner of her mouth. However, she did not look disheveled at all. Qi Nuan, with her exquisite makeup, was even more beautiful than the bare-faced Qi Nuan she had seen at the Qi family that day.

He reached out to touch her, but she subtly dodged him without leaving a trace. He calmly withdrew his hand, his gaze unchanged, a smile playing on his lips.

"Let's have dinner together!" Liang Ye invited.

Qi Nuan glanced at him, then turned away without saying a word.

"President Liang, what is your relationship with Miss Qi?" asked one of the female leads who got the role through connections. She couldn't hide her interest in Liang Ye and gave him her most beautiful smile, speaking to him in a coquettish tone.

Liang Ye didn't even glance at the woman with the fawning smile, and said without hesitation, "She is my fiancé..."

"Let's go! Marriage my ass!" Qi Nuan roared.

Qi Nuan interrupted him, walked ahead first, and seeing that he didn't move, she turned to look at him: "Didn't you say you were going to eat?"

Sensing the anger in her tone, Liang Ye decided not to continue what he hadn't finished saying and walked towards her.

Qin Zhihuai watched as the two strangely well-matched figures gradually disappeared into the distance, his heart growing heavier and heavier...

Does Nuan Nuan not want him anymore?

Qin Zhihuai lowered his head; in the shadows, his face was indistinct, and he was surrounded by confusion and sorrow.

A sudden clap of thunder sounded in the distance, and the sky instantly darkened. Everyone marveled at the sudden change in weather and gossiped about the relationship between Liang Ye and Qi Nuan.

……

Qi Nuan finally managed to get through the dinner with Liang Ye. After all, Liang Ye had considerable influence and was not someone she could afford to offend. She also had a large family behind her.

Although she didn't understand why he suddenly favored her, she still had to put on a show and rejected Liang Ye's proposal for a business marriage again. Bypassing the traps he had set in advance, she felt like she had exhausted all her strength.

Later, she received a call from Anzhi, who said that if she didn't go to the appointment, she would cut off her friendship with her. Qi Nuan said she didn't care, but in the end she still went.

After being interrogated by Anzhi about her relationship with Qin Zhihuai, she returned home and collapsed onto her bed early in the morning.

With the drama "The Empress of China" coming to an end, all she needed to do was accept small advertising endorsements arranged by her agency. Her long-awaited leisurely life would begin tomorrow. Thinking this, Qi Nuan slowly drifted off to sleep…

Qi Nuan woke up hungry the next day. There was no familiar scent or familiar face, so she had no choice but to get up, wash up, and go out to buy some breakfast to fill her stomach.

She pushed open the door, but encountered resistance halfway through. Feeling puzzled, she peeked out and saw a huddled figure sleeping in front of her door. Qi Nuan was startled, thinking it was some kind of stalker. Just as she was about to go back to get her phone to call the police, the figure moved, and a familiar, bewildered look appeared before her, instantly putting her mind at ease.

"Qin Zhihuai?" It's you again? Lying at my doorstep again... Of course, Qi Nuan could only silently complain to herself.

"Warm and cozy~" he called out with a smile.

Qi Nuan was momentarily dazed and lost in a daze, looking like a lovesick fool.

By the time she regained her senses, she had already brought Qin Zhihuai back to her room.

"Qin Zhihuai, what are you doing at my doorstep?" Qi Nuan asked.

"I miss you..." Qin Zhihuai said, smiling sincerely.

Qi Nuan remained silent, took a deep breath, and then stood up.

She pushed Qin Zhihuai towards the door: "Go back to your home, go find Meng Hao to play with you..."

We were filming together yesterday, and you're already thinking about it today? Liar!

Qin Zhihuai was pushed to the door by her, looking at her pitifully. Anyone who saw his abandoned appearance would feel maternal instincts.

But Qi Nuan was different after all. She was about to close the door without any mercy, but Qin Zhihuai stopped her with a wave of his hand.

Don't you want me anymore?

Qi Nuan was taken aback by the confused and disappointed tone in his voice.

Suddenly, the sound of a doorknob turning came from the hallway. A family across the hall was about to open their door. Qi Nuan was startled. Seeing that Qin Zhihuai had not taken any precautions to hide himself, she grabbed his collar and pulled him inside with great force.

Qin Zhihuai was pulled and stumbled, only managing to regain his balance after a couple of swaying motions.

Just as Qi Nuan was about to close the door, the door opposite opened, and a middle-aged woman holding a child walked out.

"Oh~ Isn't this Qi Nuan?" the woman said with a smile, her eyes constantly glancing behind her.

"What's wrong, you two having a fight?" she gossiped. "I heard you arguing first thing this morning."

Qi Nuan gave a forced smile: "Thank you for your concern, Sister Liang. You still need to take your child to school, right? Then I won't keep you any longer..."

"Snapped!"

Qi Nuan decisively closed the door, preventing the woman from curiously peering inside.

Thankfully, Qi Nuan breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest.

She glared at the man standing to the side, who looked completely innocent and bewildered. Her anger was too intense to contain, so she could only let him stay in her house.

"I'll call Meng Hao and ask him to pick you up, so you won't get photographed by paparazzi," Qi Nuan said.

"Okay!" Qin Zhihuai smiled, surprisingly without refutation.

Qi Nuan raised an eyebrow and turned her back to him, unaware of the sly smile that appeared on the man's lips after she turned away.

Qi Nuan glanced at the wall clock, speechless. After the delay this morning, it seemed she would have no choice but to order takeout for lunch.

While Qi Nuan and Qin Zhihuai waited, exchanging wide, uncertain glances, Meng Hao arrived late and took Qin Zhihuai back.

Qi Nuan laid herself on the big bed. What a mess! She was exhausted!

She finally had a good night's sleep, but the woman in her sleep had no idea what awaited her the next day.

As the kingfisher chirped softly and the morning mist gradually receded, Qi Nuan suddenly woke up from her dream. She closed her eyes again but couldn't fall back asleep, so she had to lie in bed and rest for a while.

She opened her eyes again to find it was broad daylight outside. She took out her phone and opened Weibo, which she hadn't used in a long time, wanting to browse the trending topics and see if there was anything interesting.

But when she saw the words "Qi Nuan" at the top of the trending searches, she couldn't help but be taken aback.

After a three-second pause, I exclaimed, "Mom! How did she get trending? And at number one? And what does that bright red '爆' (explosive) word mean?"

With trembling hands, Qi Nuan clicked on the link. Looking at the series of photos inside, her heart raced, and she felt inexplicably panicked.

"A third-tier actress with no acting skills hooks up with soulful singer Qin Zhihuai!"

"Qin Zhihuai's relationship exposed, suspected to be with Qi Nuan, the second female lead in the same drama!"

"Is the soul singer's relationship real? What happened to the stereotype that all male gods have boyfriends?"

……

The pages of major entertainment news outlets were all filled with sensational headlines featuring Qi Nuan and Qin Zhihuai, and the topic of the two had already made it onto the trending lists.

She clicked on the larger images and scrolled through pictures that she herself didn't even know when they were taken.

On her second day on set, she went for a morning run at the hotel. She and Qin Zhihuai sat on the same bench, and she turned her head to look at his photo.

A photo showing the unspoken understanding between the two when they laughed during filming.

Dressed in a nightclub outfit, she pulled Qin Zhihuai along, running ahead of her, while behind them, he gazed intently at a photograph.

The photos of Qin Zhihuai and her entering and leaving the residential area together were ambiguous, some were taken from a distance, some were intimate, and there were all sorts of other photos.

There are also photos of the two of them going on a big shopping trip to the supermarket together.

……

The mix of truth and falsehood made Qi Nuan's eyes hurt.

It's so cringeworthy! Why does she mostly stare at Qin Zhihuai with such a lovesick expression? She can't even look at herself like that.

But it seems like the focus isn't on this, is it?

On the other side, Qin Zhihuai sat in his home music recording studio.

He didn't even care when the wind blew his beloved sheet music to the ground; he just looked at the woman on his phone who was "affectionately" gazing at him, smiling with a satisfied and happy expression.

With his index finger swiping across the photos, Qin Zhihuai saved those original, ultra-high-resolution, watermark-free photos to his phone.

"Well done," Qin Zhihuai thought.

……

Just as Qi Nuan had finished reading through most of the abusive comments on her Weibo and was starting to yawn, Sister Hao called.

"Hello?" Qi Nuan yawned and answered lazily.

"..." The other person was clearly taken aback. "Nuan Nuan, have you checked Weibo?"

"Yeah, I saw it," she replied casually, then suddenly felt sleepy again.

"You saw it? This is your reaction after seeing it? Qi Nuan, what exactly is going on between you and Qin Zhihuai?" Sister Hao asked from the side. Her phone had been ringing off the hook with calls from various media outlets since early morning.

Associating Qi Nuan's bad reputation in the entertainment industry with Qin Zhihuai is just asking for trouble. Sister Hao couldn't help but worry about Qi Nuan, recalling the infuriating questions raised by the media earlier.

Netizens don't care about true love or not; they only know that Qi Nuan tarnished their perfect "male god," and in their relationship, she could only be the cannon fodder who got hurt.

"That's all there is to it. I'm not going to talk about it anymore. I'm going to sleep..." Qi Nuan said, about to hang up the phone.

"...Nuan Nuan, don't go out these next few days..." Sister Hao said helplessly, unable to do anything about it, before she hung up the phone.

Qi Nuan understood that there must be quite a few die-hard fans in the neighborhood who were eager to pounce on her and fight to the death as soon as she came out.

She shrugged. "I'll think about it after I get some sleep!"

"Ding-dong-"

Qi Nuan was awakened by the urgent ringing of the doorbell. She dragged her limp body to the door and asked, "Who is it?"

A familiar, clear voice came from outside the door: "It's me, Qin Zhihuai."

Qi Nuan opened the door and her eyes twitched slightly as she looked at the fully armed man in front of her, who was almost unrecognizable as Qin Zhihuai.

"What are you doing?"

"Are you OK?"

"..."

Seeing the stark contrast between their calm and tense demeanor, Meng Hao suggested, "Let's go inside and talk!"

Qi Nuan and Qin Zhihuai exchanged a glance.

In the living room, Qi Nuan hugged a cushion, looking completely innocent.

"Nuan Nuan, are you alright?" Qin Zhihuai asked.

"..." Meng Hao looked at the woman in front of him, who was as beautiful as a peach blossom and laughing carefree, and thought, "Isn't this obvious?"

"Okay!"

"...Let's go public with our relationship!" Qin Zhihuai said, his beautiful voice particularly captivating.

"..." Qi Nuan looked at him but didn't say anything.

“Huai, if we announce our relationship now, Miss Qi will be subjected to public opinion…” Meng Hao hesitated.

Qin Zhihuai seemed to have also thought of this advantage and disadvantage, and a solemn expression appeared on his delicate face.

Isn't it good as it is now?

Qin Zhihuai and Meng Hao looked at the woman who was smiling mischievously.

When she saw the two looking over, she winked mischievously.

……

Neither Qi Nuan nor Qin Zhihuai has made any statement regarding their relationship. They continue with their acting and album releases, leaving it unclear whether they are tacitly acknowledging or denying it.

Public opinion gradually shifted towards the idea that Qi Nuan had been abandoned. Many haters and passersby went to Qi Nuan's Weibo to curse and mock her, saying that she wanted to climb up to the male god and use Qin Zhihuai's fame to become popular, but she went too far and was ignored.

Seeing these comments, Qi Nuan glanced at the so-called "male god" who was clinging to her home, feeling both helpless and amused. Who was really clinging to whom?

As if sensing something, Qin Zhihuai turned to Qi Nuan and smiled, "Nuan Nuan, your favorite variety show has started. You watch it first, I'll go cook!"

Qi Nuan was captivated by his smile, and to hell with everything else!
