My lord, hold me tight! (Quick Transmigration)

They strolled down the street like any ordinary young couple, and their handsome man and beautiful woman attracted the attention of many people.

Although Xia Nuan walked alongside him, she always kept a distance. She stole a glance at Ruan Lin's awkward, seemingly casual demeanor, and realized that she was the only one who could take the initiative.

"Ah Lin, let's go shopping over there!" Xia Nuan took Ruan Lin's hand and led him towards a clothing store.

Ruan Lin was slightly unaccustomed to the sudden warmth and softness in his palm. When he saw Xia Nuan's expectant and happy expression, he pursed his lips, tightened his grip, and held her hand in return.

Xia Nuan noticed his response and smiled knowingly.

"Huh, this is... the same store as last time!" Xia Nuan was surprised to find that this was the same clothing store where she and Ruan Lin had encountered Ye Miaomiao and Ruan Xun and had a falling out.

Xia Nuan saw that the retro floral dress she had tried on last time was still displayed in the most conspicuous place. She immediately asked the sales assistant to take it down for her and then went to the fitting room to change into it.

"Does it look good?" Xia Nuan twirled in front of Ruan Lin, her smile captivating.

"Want it?" Ruan Lin asked.

"Mmm." Xia Nuan nodded emphatically, looking at him with expectant eyes.

When Ruan Lin saw Xia Nuan, whose eyes lit up just like when she saw the dessert she liked earlier, she couldn't resist at all and wisely went to pay the bill.

Xia Nuan was too lazy to take it off, so she swaggered out of the clothing store wearing the retro long dress that her new boyfriend had bought for her, attracting a lot of attention.

Seeing Xia Nuan so happy, Ruan Lin's mood also brightened.

"Do you like it?" he asked, his eyes softening in a way he himself didn't even realize.

Xia Nuan rolled her eyes and showed her affection through her actions.

A loud "~" was imprinted on Ruan Lin's face.

Ruan Lin reflexively raised his hand to touch his cheek. Seeing Xia Nuan's bold actions, and the many people on the crowded street watching them with smirks and ambiguous glances, Ruan Lin's heart raced, his handsome face turned red, and he was at a loss for what to do.

“I like everything you gave me!” Xia Nuan said.

Ruan Lin's face turned even redder, but the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up, revealing his inner joy.

As dusk fell, Xia Nuan and Ruan Lin ate a quick dinner and then took him to the movie theater.

The two were browsing through the posters of various newly released movies outside the cinema.

"I want to see 'Warcraft'!" Xia Nuan shouted, pointing to the tall orc in the huge poster and saying to Ruan Lin.

"...Can you understand it?" Ruan Lin asked hesitantly, his doubtful gaze sweeping over Xia Nuan.

"Of course I'll see..." Xia Nuan immediately became unhappy upon hearing his question and glared at him in rebuttal, but before she could finish speaking, she heard—

"Screech—" The sound of brakes.

"Bang!" A sound of impact.

The two turned around and saw a young woman in a white dress lying in a pool of blood, unconscious. Her familiar figure gradually came into view.

“Sister Miaomiao…”

"Miaomiao!" Xia Nuan was still in shock when Ruan Lin, who was beside her, let go of her hand and rushed over first.

Xia Nuan paused for a moment, then followed.

Ruan Lin stepped forward and anxiously checked on Ye Miaomiao's condition.

Looking at the scene before her, Xia Nuan recalled that this was a scene from the original plot. Ye Miaomiao was accidentally hit by a car and had a car accident, but she only suffered some minor injuries. She was taken to the hospital by the driver in time and was not in danger. However, after this incident, Ruan Lin's nervousness when he came to the hospital made Ruan Xun realize his feelings for the female lead, and thus he began to slowly distance himself from Ye Miaomiao.

"..."

Some of the onlookers had already called the police, and the ambulance arrived shortly afterward. Ruan Lin, along with the nurses and doctors, carried Ye Miaomiao into the ambulance.

“Ah…” Lin.

Xia Nuan stepped forward, wanting to call out to Ruan Lin, but he didn't even glance at her and simply ignored her.

Xia Nuan watched Ruan Lin's retreating figure, her nose tingling, a sense of grievance and loss spreading through her heart. So he had never forgotten Ye Miaomiao? Then what was she to him?

“Nuan Nuan…” A large hand touched her shoulder.

Xia Nuan turned her head, and a familiar, arrogant, and handsome face appeared before her. She was momentarily stunned, and asked, "Beitang Hao? What are you doing here?"

Looking at Xia Nuan's slightly red eyes and the hurt in them, Bei Tanghao frowned and said with a hint of heartache, "Silly Nuan Nuan, let's go."

As he spoke, he took Xia Nuan's slightly cold hand in his. His hand was warm, and Xia Nuan forgot to pull away for a moment. She was somewhat reluctant to let go of this warmth and left with him.

The ambulance drove away with a siren behind them, the crowd gradually dispersed, and unexpectedly, someone walked towards the spot where Xia Nuan had just been standing.

"Hey, big brother? Sister Miaomiao was in a car accident and has already been taken to the hospital... Hmm, it's not serious... Hurry up..."

"Hello? Xiao Lin? Beep beep beep..." The person on the other end of the phone suddenly went silent, and Ruan Xun asked anxiously in confusion.

Looking at the empty street, Ruan Lin felt as if a part of his heart was missing. He didn't follow the ambulance because he knew there were more important people waiting for him here.

But Xia Nuan, who was originally waiting here, was nowhere to be seen. Everything that had just happened was like a joke, a joke that he had abandoned Xia Nuan to take care of another woman.

Ruan Lin felt the tension he felt when he saw Ye Miaomiao lying in a pool of blood dissipate instantly. Now, unable to find Xia Nuan, he felt extremely heavy-hearted. Only now did he truly understand what it meant to be lost and helpless.

He dared not think of Xia Nuan's injured expression and tearful eyes. Ruan Lin frowned, his heart filled with guilt and regret.

Xia Nuan was taken back to the Xia family by Bei Tanghao. When she got home, Xia's mother saw that she looked dazed and sad and felt bad. She had guessed what had happened between the two young people. Xia Nuan greeted him weakly and went to her room, where she lay down on the bed.

Xia Nuan pondered, could it be that Ruan Lin still hadn't let go of Ye Miaomiao? Or was it just a common phenomenon that "what you can't have always stirs your heart, and those who are favored are always fearless"?

After a long time, Xia Nuan realized that even if she was more important to Ruan Lin than Ye Miaomiao, Ye Miaomiao would always be Ruan Lin's white moonlight and cinnabar mole. If she continued with this simple strategy and gave her all, she would never be able to get rid of Ye Miaomiao's existence. The best way was to replace her and become that unforgettable cinnabar mole.

Xia Nuan had already made up her mind, so the next day she told her mother that she wanted to study abroad, just like the original owner of this body, but this time she would go voluntarily.

Xia's mother also vaguely knew that there might be problems between her and Ruan Lin, so she didn't ask any more questions and began to prepare for her to go abroad.

Ruan Lin had come to the Xia family to look for Xia Nuan before, but each time she was politely but distantly asked to leave by the Xia family's nanny.

He became anxious when he couldn't see Xia Nuan, and he came to the Xia family home early every day to wait for her. However, five days later, Xia's mother told him that Xia Nuan had gone abroad to study, and refused to tell him where Xia Nuan was otherwise.

……

As the plane gradually lifted off the ground, watching the familiar city recede into the distance, Xia Nuan, though leaving the country just like in the original story, had a completely different mindset. She no longer felt the sadness and melancholy that the original owner had felt; instead, she felt only excitement for the future.

If she continues to pursue Ruan Lin in this way, she will only exploit their relationship. His feelings for Ye Miaomiao will never fade. What you can't have is always the best. Only her departure can make him realize that he doesn't necessarily only like her.

"Ruan Lin, wait for me!" Xia Nuan murmured silently.

……

Five years later, at the Ruan family home, during dinner time.

"Ah Lin, I heard Xiao Yan is coming back..." Aunt Ruan said casually.

"..."

Over the course of five years, Ruan Lin has gradually taken over the Ruan family's company. He exudes a calm and composed demeanor, and his every move reveals the charm of a mature man. He is no longer like that naive young man who wore his heart on his sleeve.

He had his head down, and his expression was not clear. Aunt Ruan was also amazed by her son's growth, but she could not see any different emotions on Ruan Lin's face.

After a long silence, just as Aunt Ruan was thinking to herself that he wouldn't speak, he suddenly spoke: "...When?"

Aunt Ruan smiled subtly, exchanged a glance with Uncle Ruan, and said casually, "It seems to be tomorrow morning, the flight arrives at Dong Airport at nine o'clock. Should Mom wake you up at eight in the morning?"

"..."

Ruan Lin swallowed the food in his mouth, feeling a mix of emotions.

When he sent Ye Miaomiao to the ambulance that day and turned back to look for Xia Nuan, he found that the warmth and softness in his hands were gone, and Xia Nuan, who had been by his side all along, was nowhere to be seen. Only then did he realize what he had done. Xia Nuan's disappearance made him suddenly realize what was most important to him, but it was too late.

Everything happened so suddenly, catching him completely off guard. At that moment, he only felt that something important was slipping away, something he couldn't grasp no matter what he did...

Over the past five years, Ruan Lin has found that Xia Nuan's memories in his heart have become vivid, and every scene has been deeply engraved in his mind.

She sat confidently on his bed, excitedly imparting her "flirting skills" to him; her pitiful pout when angry but unable to speak out; her more nervous expression than his when she saw Sister Miaomiao with his older brother; her helpless pleading; her charming blush and gentle smile as she bit her lip; her trembling eyelashes leaving a light, fluffy kiss on his face; her tender lowering of her head; her sparkling eyes; and finally, the image of Xia Nuan's hurt, sad, and aggrieved face—all these scenes were so clear and beautiful that Ruan Lin couldn't forget them, let alone find them so sweet…

The next day, the workaholic CEO Ruan took a rare day off, got up early, and drove himself to the airport to wait for Xia Nuan's arrival.

When he looked at Xia Nuan's even more beautiful features and her curvaceous figure, he wished he could hide her away and not let anyone see her beauty.

Xia Nuan walked out of the East Airport, accompanied by a cool man with a unique and unconventional style and a perfect physique comparable to a male model on the runway. This was Bei Tanghao, whose deep and handsome face had a fatal attraction. The two high-value people attracted the attention of people coming and going in the airport.

Perhaps it was because Ruan Lin's gaze from the shadows was too intense, but Xia Nuan seemed to notice and looked up, searching for something in the crowd.

"Little Nuannuan, what are you looking at?" Beitang Hao affectionately put his hand on her shoulder and turned his head to ask her.
