Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic One - A Sober Fall

With Tu Mi and Ye Tianzhu already allied, Feng Jia and Jin Se San naturally couldn't fight them one-on-one; two-on-two would be more interesting. As for Yue Wuque... well, there's nothing he can do; he's too slow at finding teammates, so he can't blame anyone else.

The evidence that Tu Mi gave to Ye Tianzhu, and the evidence that Feng Jia and Jin Se San were the masterminds of the kidnapping, could be a big deal or a small deal for Jin Se San and Feng Jia. This also determined how much Yue Shui Ying valued Feng Jia, Jin Se San, and Yue Wu Que.

When Yue Wuque returned after toasting, he noticed that the atmosphere between Feng Jia, Jin Sesan, and Ye Tianzhu was very strange.

Moon Without Flaws: ? ? ?

What kind of trouble are they up to now?!

Yue Wuque's gaze shifted to the pavilion, where Tu Mi was still sitting quietly. He walked past Jin Se and the other two towards the direction where Tu Mi was sitting.

“Tumi.............”

Tu Mi sat on the stone bench, smiled at Yue Wuque, and asked him with her eyes what he wanted.

Yue Wuque sat down and slowly said, "Before I came back, I heard that you love sweets. You can try the desserts at today's banquet."

Tu Mi feigned surprise, "Really? It's my honor to be treated with such care by you."

Yue Wuque smiled slightly, "Tu Mi, I've heard that you're a big fan of mine, and even that you like me."

Tu Mi readily admitted, "Yes, so what?"

Yue Wuque leaned forward, a gentle smile still on his face. "You like it? I didn't see that coming from you."

Tu Mi didn't look at Yue Wuque, her gaze fixed elsewhere. "Well... I'm a rather reserved person, so... it's normal that you can't easily see how much I like you."

Yue Wuque stared at Tu Mi's superior and exquisite profile, feeling displeased. During his absence, Tu Mi had repeatedly used the pretense of liking him to do things that benefited her but were detrimental to Yue Wuque.

Yue Wuque shifted his gaze from Tu Mi to the lake, slowly recounting Tu Mi's "acts of affection": "The first time, you found Lan Yin and asked what I liked to eat, taking the opportunity to collude with Lan Yin; the second time, you used me to test Jin Sesan's feelings for me; the third time, you intercepted Bai Ling and facilitated Ye Tianzhu's use of Yue Shuiying to humiliate me. Heh~ Tu Mi, you really like me~"

Now that things are settled, Tu Mi has become the vice president, and the Tu family is now one of the four great families. Tu Mi no longer needs to pretend and directly states, "Yes, so what?" You're unhappy with me? Keep it to yourself!

Yue Wuque's gaze remained fixed on the calm lake surface, just as his expression suggested. However, beneath his skin, a turbulent storm raged within him: "Used me!!!"

Yue Wuque's eyes darkened. He recalled how he had used Feng Jia and Ye Tianzhu's past scars to make them more dependent on him, which had some effect, but it was far from enough compared to the family. For Yue Wuque, this was a failure.

Before Yue Wuque disappeared, everyone's attention was focused on him. Now, the sudden appearance of Tu Mi has shattered the balance he had maintained! Jin Sesan, Feng Jia, and Ye Tianzhu have all changed!

This shouldn't be happening!! This shouldn't be happening!! Jin Sesan, Feng Jia, and Ye Tianzhu should be the same as before Yue Wuque disappeared, and Tu Mi should also like Yue Wuque as he said.

In a corner unseen by Tu Mi, Yue Wuque's expression momentarily turned to madness. He was so perfect, so perfectly guided by his father—how could anyone not like him?! How could anyone have disliked him from the very beginning?!

Yue Wuque put on a gentle expression again, "It's nothing. Nobody's perfect. It must be that I didn't do a good enough job."

Upon hearing this, Tu Mi shamelessly nodded.

Yue Wuque pretended not to see Tu Mi nod, and then sincerely said, "Tu Mi, a capable person should stand out from the crowd and become a shining pearl that everyone follows. You deserve your current status."

Tu Mi stared intently at Yue Wuque, the words Lan Yin had once told him flashing through his mind: "Yue Wuque is skilled at winning hearts and minds." Tu Mi smiled slightly. Was Yue Wuque now launching an offensive against him?

"Oh, you really think so?"

Yue Wuque affirmed, "Naturally, candidates from large families are naturally the ones who can rise to the top."

Tu Mi stared blankly at Yue Wuque's confident speech, while Yue Wuque secretly observed Tu Mi's state and subtly curled his lips, taking the bait.

Tu Mi's eyelashes trembled slightly, like a withered sycamore leaf falling in the autumn wind, fragile and easily broken. His voice was low and melancholy: "You are the first person to praise me like this..."

Yue Wuque's gentle face showed a slight surprise, as if he was surprised: Tu Mi, how come someone as capable as you has not been praised?

Tu Mi's eyelashes drooped, and her hands, resting on the stone table, were slightly clasped together in front of Yue Wuque. Perhaps because of the force, her already pale fingers appeared even paler. "When I was very young, my mother... and ever since then... no one has ever praised me again." Yue Wuque, oh Yue Wuque, he has laid bare this scar that seems to be his own. I wonder if Yue Wuque can even grasp it.

Tu Mi saw Yue Wuque's eyes reveal a look of heartache, and he even wanted to reach out to comfort her, but he seemed to feel that he had crossed the line, so he had to withdraw his hand that was only slightly outstretched.

Yue Wuque's eyes gazed at Tu Mi with the gentle comfort of the sea, but his mind was racing: was he approaching Tu Mi as a comforter, or... a kindred spirit? Both had their advantages. A good comforter could become an emotional anchor for the one being comforted; a bad one would just be an ordinary friend who offered solace. If he used the shared suffering as a good tactic, Tu Mi would become dependent on him; if he didn't... there wouldn't be any truly bad consequences.

In the past, when Yue Wuque comforted others, he would have approached them as the comforter. But after seeing the effects on Feng Jia, Jin Se San, and Ye Tian Zhu, he decided to change his approach to comfort Tu Mi today.

Then, Yue Wuque's eyes, which had once been all-encompassing, slowly dimmed. "You... are you like this too?" Yue Wuque's voice grew lower and lower as he spoke.

Tumi:???

Huh? Yue Wuque isn't comforting him anymore? Isn't Yue Wuque the one who loves playing the savior?
