Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty-Chapter 64: Unloved Daughter of Yue Mansion (18)
Yue Ran was startled by Yue Yu’s sudden appearance, and her eyes showed a little daze.
"What? Is there some shady secret in your yard so I can’t come in?"
Yue Yu wore a gentle smile on his face, but a flicker of something obscure flashed past his eyes.
"How could it be?" Yue Ran rolled her eyes and carelessly threw the embroidery that was half done on her bed. "Brother Yu is the only son of the prime minister, so who would dare to stop you from going anywhere?"
There was a sarcastic sneer on her face.
Although Yue Yu did give her ideas on how to catch Ming Chen’s attention, Yue Ran still hated the hypocritical smile on his face that did not hold any sincerity.
So fake.
Like a smiling fox.
Yue Ran had completely thrown herself into the role and thought exactly like the original body; after all, an immersive experience is always fun.
If one wants her to give them her sincerity, then one will need to show their sincerity first.
"Sister Ran, what has made you so infuriated?" Yue Yu asked with a raised brow.
You, Yue Ran wanted to answer.
"Even if so, you better not spread your anger to your Brother Yu."
A dangerous glint flashed through Yue Yu’s eyes.
He wrapped his fingers around her delicate, jade-white neck. He lightly pulled her up, and Yue Ran followed his movements by standing.
As long as Yue Yu presses harder and twists it, Yue Ran will disappear, leaving no one left to scorn him.
Just a dull crack, and she was no more.
Smiling, Yue Ran said to him, "Brother Yu, don’t you already know that my temper is never good?"
There was an unfathomable sense of leisure in Yue Ran’s expression even then that made Yue Yu’s teeth itch, but he still didn’t take action.
It’s definitely not a good thing that Yue Ran could so easily affect his mood with her every move.
As smart as he is, how could he not have realized that he may have fallen in love with his nominal sister? But the existence of Yue Ran is too important, and he wants to use her to lower the vigilance of the now ignorant crown prince.
How could he ruin his grand plan just for his own selfish desires?
What’s more, Prime Minister Yue is now currently assisting him with his affairs, so he can’t kill the prime minister’s daughter over a trivial matter.
Forget it; he would just bear her temper rather than face the troublesome consequences of her sudden death.
Yue Yu didn’t believe that he wouldn’t be able to control his own heart.
But how would he know that the word "love" is the most uncontrollable and unpredictable thing?
After all, love recognizes no barriers; it knows not its own depth—as deep as the abyss or as shallow as a puddle—until the hour of separation; it is invisible yet so clear.
Yue Ran deliberately took a step back and pretended to fall.
Black hair swayed, and her body suddenly lurched back.
With fast reflexes, the man immediately wrapped an arm around her waist, but instead of pulling her up, they both fell on Yue Ran’s bed. The handkerchief, with incomplete embroidery, was spread out and now lay uncovered by Yue Ran’s head.
Blooming red peonies.
Yue Yu was now on top of Yue Ran. On the bed.
Yue Ran looked up at Yue Yu in fright, and her bright eyes seemed dazzling.
Her soft black hair was scattered all around the white fabric underneath, and her skin was so white, it seemed to glow.
An intoxicatingly sweet fragrance flushed his cheeks. It wasn’t certain whether it was from the scent of the bed or Yue Ran herself.
"T-too close," Yue Ran murmured as she pushed Yue Yu away from her.
Yue Yu felt his heart stop for a bit at the image of Yue Ran getting flustered.
Oh, so she can get shy too? freewēbnoveℓ.com
Yue Yu’s faint breaths were loud against the silence, and black eyes as deep as the abyss were fixated on Yue Ran.
In Yue Yu’s point of view, he only knew that Yue Ran had stumbled, so he rushed to catch her.
Before the process, though, Yue Ran might’ve accidentally hit her foot against the corner of the bed and might’ve accidentally tripped because of that and might’ve accidentally fallen onto the bed and brought a certain someone down with her.
Everything had gone on so naturally that Yue Yue held little to no suspicion toward Yue Ran’s actions.
"Brother Yu, get off." She seemed to cry out unconsciously, and her voice was reproaching. "You’re very heavy."
There was a pause.
Why did Yue Ran use such a... coquettish voice?
This was a foul!
"…Right."
Yue Yu rushed to get off of her and almost fell off the bed. He then covered up his reddening face with a cough.
Yue Ran sat up in bed, blinking at the man.
Yue Yu proceeded to glance at the servants on the side.
They have all lowered their heads with trembling bodies, wishing that they were blind, deaf, or dead at the moment. Blind and deaf so that they couldn’t see or hear anything at the same time, while dead solves everything.
Thinking that it was enough warning, he turned his attention back to Yue Ran. With a wave of his hand, everyone filed out of the room, leaving only Yue Yu and Yue Ran in the deafening silence.
With a cough, Yue Yu spoke: "I heard that you went to visit General Xia in his mansion today."
Yue Ran tilted her head. "Ah, you mean Xia Zhan?" Then smiled. "Yes, I did go out to look for him today; what’s wrong?"
"Why did you want to meet him?"
Even if Yue Yu had thought long and hard about this issue, he still couldn’t think of any reason that would justify Yue Ran’s move.
What was so important that Yue Ran had to find General Xia, someone who had never had anything to do with her, in his mansion?
