Quick Transmigration: The Villainess Is a Sweetheart

Chapter 148

Jiang Yan was thoroughly enjoying herself, thinking that Lu Tu had suddenly come to his senses and stopped avoiding her.

However, she suddenly heard the maid who came to deliver towels call out "Sir"!

...

Jiang Yan was startled, hastily pushing her hands away and turning her head towards the door. Unfortunately, she couldn't see, so she nervously and tremblingly called out, "Uncle?"

The middle-aged man standing at the door, Tan Sheng, who had frozen like a statue, cleared his throat with effort and responded, his expression complex. His gaze shifted between his little niece and the butler.

The little niece's guilty demeanor was obvious, and combined with Lu Tu's initial surprised expression followed by lowering his head, Tan Sheng had already imagined quite a scene in his mind.

His little niece forcefully seducing the well-built male butler, the butler reluctantly enduring...

Jiang Yan experienced the most severe social embarrassment of her life! Being caught by an elder... Jiang Yan desperately wanted to bury herself in the bun she had just eaten, to disappear from this world forever...

It was all because they had been so caught up in their romance these past few days that they had forgotten about Tan Sheng's biweekly visits to check on her!

Fortunately, her uncle was considerate enough to pretend nothing had happened, smoothly changing the subject to inquire about her daily life and meals.

During this time, Lu Tu kept his eyes lowered, diligently playing the role of an unobtrusive butler. But as Tan Sheng's gaze kept falling on him from time to time, Lu Tu knew that things were almost certainly settled.

Finding out when Tan Sheng would arrive, cultivating the young lady's physical intimacy with him, and then exposing it at the right moment in front of Tan Sheng... everything had gone unbelievably smoothly.

However, Lu Tu had miscalculated one thing - the extent of Tan Sheng's concern for his niece.

Tan Sheng stayed for the entire morning, meticulously going over every aspect of Jiang Yan's life. He considered himself the closest person to Jiang Yan in this world, so how could he not care about her?

Jiang Yan's mother and Tan Sheng were siblings with a very close relationship. However, Jiang Yan's mother had the misfortune of marrying the wrong person. After being betrayed in her marriage, she angrily divorced and brought Jiang Yan back to her maiden home, changing Jiang Yan's surname to her own.

The Tan family, without hesitation, retaliated against that scoundrel, giving him his due punishment. Since then, Jiang Yan's mother returned to being the Tan family's daughter, but she had developed a chronic illness years ago and sadly passed away prematurely.

She had only this one daughter. Naturally, Tan Sheng had to take meticulous care of his sister's only remaining blood relative.

...

Just before leaving, Tan Sheng proposed to have a chat with Jiang Yan in her room.

He had always cared deeply for Jiang Yan, and seeing such a scene for the first time, the uncle was deeply worried.

Lu Tu could guess what they were going to talk about without even trying. He quietly wiped his hands and stood in front of the young lady's bedroom door.

He heard Tan Sheng carefully asking Jiang Yan, "Yan Yan, you and that Lu Tu..."

Jiang Yan roughly knew what he meant and simply nodded.

"It's alright, Yan Yan is just growing up," Tan Sheng said understandingly, then hesitantly asked, "I saw that you seem to like him quite a bit?"

Outside the door, Lu Tu silently curved his lips, feeling that things were developing more or less as he had anticipated. He was already prepared to take care of the young lady for a lifetime! Please let him bear this glorious responsibility.

Unfortunately, the subsequent development exceeded his imagination.

Jiang Yan, with a sense of responsibility, nodded again.

Who would have thought that her uncle would become a bit anxious, blurting out, "Yan Yan, this won't do! I don't object to you being close to him, but you can't invest your true feelings. You don't know how bad men in this world can be! None of them are any good!"

Outside the door, Lu Tu felt like he was about to burst.

Tan Sheng continued, "Back then, your mother fell for a man's tricks..."

Jiang Yan knew that story and understood her uncle's feelings, so she nodded in agreement.

After speaking for a while, Tan Sheng came back to his senses and said, "Let's do this, you can play around, but don't put all your eggs in one basket. Uncle will find a few more men to send over. Since you can't see, uncle will find you some who speak nicely and have abs you can feel. You can play however you want, just don't develop real feelings! We don't need them..."

Lu Tu doubted his own ears. He dazedly moved away from the door.
