Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty-Chapter 66: Unloved Daughter of Yue Mansion (20)

Yue Ran raised a brow at Yue Yu's fleeing back.

He had so surreptitiously slipped into her room without her knowledge but had been so open about his escape from her room.

And the thing is that she didn't even do anything to warrant him running away as if he had a fire on his tail.

Yue Ran stood up with her fists clenched by her sides.

This male protagonist is really, really puzzling.

Does he really think of her room as his own, so he could easily come and go as he pleased?

She folded her hands angrily, a frown tugging at the corner of her lips.

However, when Yue Yu was about to disappear from Yue Ran's field of vision, he turned around.

With that one glance, he saw not of the simple decorations of Yue Ran's courtyard, he saw not of the servants, he saw not of the beautiful sky—all he saw was only Yue Ran.

All his sight was taken by the girl—the girl who was standing on the same spot, unmoving.

The yellow light of the candlelight hit her side like a halo. Her pale skin was smooth like silk, making her angry features seem doll-like, and the extraordinary color seemed to hit Yue Yu's eyes in an instant.

Yue Ran's current image was forever engraved in his mind; this was enough to amaze him for a long time.

Another step, and Yue Yu was gone.

When he had stepped out of the gate to Yue Ran's courtyard, Yue Yu covered his beating heart, knowing fully well that he really had indeed fallen in love with Yue Ran.

A sense of powerlessness gradually spread out from his heart.

Yue Ran loves Ming Chen so much.

Could he ever compare to the Crown Prince in her heart?

Will she ever like him?

Will she even look at him?

Yue Yu covered his face weakly, his palms covering his face—then his eyes flashed a hint of cruelty in between his fingers.

It's okay; when the world is in his hands, there will not be something that he cannot have or obtain.

"After that, Ming Chen will not be spared!"

"General Xia?"

It was not often that Xue Lu would go out of her mansion for a walk around the capital.

Today, her destination was the peach blossom forest.

And she never would've thought that she would run into this cold-faced general, Xia Zhan, one of the four most sought-after noble young men in the capital, while strolling around to admire the beautiful scenery.

"Young Lady Xue." Xia Zhan greets the girl back with a nod. "What a coincidence!"

"Yes, what a coincidence," Xue Lu replied.

With that, the conversation ended.

Seeing that Xia Zhan still did not leave, Xue Lu also stood in her position, deciding to not leave her spot, as awkward as everything could get.

Xia Zhan's complexion was fair, but in fact, the base of his ears was completely red; after all, the woman he had been thinking of all day and night was now standing in front of him!

If it weren't for Yue Ran's insistence, he would never have the courage to be alone with Xue Lu, let alone talk to her.

This was much too thrilling for him, even exceeding the thrill of every battle he had ever fought before.

Not only did he not know where to put his eyes, he also didn't dare to say a word.

There was only silence in between them, filling the area and making it almost palpable.

Xia Zhan: …

Xue Lu: …

With the stretching silence, Xue Lu's lips gradually trained into a straight line. She was a little embarrassed by the current situation.

If Xia Zhan did not plan to talk to her, couldn't he just walk away?

Even if she did have a cold temper with an indifferent mask, she still wasn't able to stand this very awkward atmosphere.

Uncomfortable was an understatement.

From afar, away from prying eyes, was Yue Ran, who was observing the current situation.

She stared at the general with an apparent distaste that made its way to her face.

Couldn't Xia Zhan do something about that unsightly situation he had put himself in?

How would he be able to catch Xue Lu's heart with how awkward and nervous he was around the girl?

The seamless plan that she had made was in shambles.

Yue Ran slapped a hand to her forehead and let out a soft sigh.

There was only one word to describe the current situation that both Xia Zhan and Xue Lu were caught in: awkward.

As if it weren't already spelled out on their faces.

Xia Zhan wanted to break the silence but didn't exactly know what to say, so he turned his head to Yue Ran, who was hiding not far away, for help.

Xia Zhan: Help!

Yue Ran: …

She was speechless.

She had taught him all the skills she knew to seduce a girl for a few days now, and this was the result he got? freewёbnoνel.com

Was he serious?

But Yue Ran knew that Xia Zhan was serious when she looked at his face and into his eyes.

Seriously?

A few days ago, Yue Ran had repeatedly teased the man herself so that his face turned as red as a tomato and he couldn't even speak out a word.

She even had Xia Zhan practice it out on her so that he wouldn't be so awkward when implementing it on Xue Lu, but was this the outcome of all his studies that she had tried to cram into his head?

Yue Ran: This man cannot be taught; what a failure of a student!

She could only walk out from behind the tree and try to salvage the current situation, at least making sure that Xia Zhan's chances wouldn't crumble to zero.

"Young Lady Xue."

Yue Ran's presence was a much-needed help for both people placed in an awkward situation they both got themselves into. Nevertheless, Xue Lu was still a little suspicious at Yue Ran's sudden arrival.
