Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty-Chapter 58: Unloved Daughter of Yue Mansion (12)

However, there was a difference between men and women.

If he were to save Shu Xi, he may just as well have taken the girl's innocence and been forced to marry her.

Ming Chen was really placed in a difficult situation.

He glanced at the female companion beside him in embarrassment, but only saw a grim face full of displeasure on Xue Lu's face.

"Your Royal Highness, you don't need to look at me; I can't swim!"

Xue Lu's voice was very cold.

She could clearly assess the situation and know that there was no other way than to have Ming Chen go down there to save the drowning girl.

Xue Lu would not want to get herself dirty and embarrassed just for the daughter of the Minister of War, who was pathetically drowning in the lake.

If the chances of being with the Crown Prince were reduced to zero, they might as well be reduced to zero.

She was never attracted to Ming Chen in the first place.

She wouldn't mind if he married other women as his Crown Princess or Empress.

Right now, only she and the Crown Prince are present on the scene. Everyone in the capital knew that she couldn't swim, so Shu Xi's life automatically rested on Ming Chen's shoulders.

Once Ming Chen saves Shu Xi, he will have to marry Shu Xi for taking her innocence!

Shu Xi was clearly slapping Xue Lu in the face with this scheme!

Xue Lu's face turned dark.

This game sure was wonderful!

This was a blatant humiliation on Xue Lu's part!

How dare anyone do this to her and make her look stupid!

And how could she guess that it was Shu Xi who had planned this trap?

Everyone in the capital knows that Shu Xi is one of the noble ladies who admires the Crown Prince.

Xue Lu's eyes turned cold.

But when a slim figure in red showed up, Xue Lu immediately knew that her previous guess was wrong!

It was Yue Ran's scheme!

Just as Ming Chen was stuck in an insoluble dilemma of choosing a person's life or loyalty for his love for Xue Lu, Yue Ran's sudden presence abruptly dispersed his cloud of thoughts, bringing him out of his daze.

Yue Ran had already taken off her outer robe and was about to jump into the lake. But before she does, she leaves a sentence behind: "The Crown Prince is a man, and it is inconvenient to save the noble young lady, so let me save her instead!"

Yue Ran resolutely jumped into the lake.

Although it was still summer at this time, the water was still cold, especially in the middle of the night.

"Yue Ran?!"

Seeing that touch of red out of the blue took Ming Chen by surprise!

It was Yue Ran!

He was sure that he had not seen the wrong figure.

How could Yue Ran suddenly take the initiative to save others?

The disbelief on his face was obvious.

☼︎ ✵ ☼︎

"Thank you, Sister Yue Ran; thank you!"

The trembling figure of Shu Xi was repeatedly thanking Yue Ran for saving her life.

If there was no Yue Ran, she was not sure if she could even survive!

Yue Ran softly comforted the terrified girl in front of her.

Although Yue Ran herself was soaked all over, she had so generously placed the others' wellbeing over her own so selflessly.

Seeing this new side of Yue Ran—so gentle and patient—Ming Chen doesn't really know how to feel.

Yue Ran's eyes were filled with concern, and there was a gentle smile that was blooming on the corners of her lips as she talked softly to calm the quivering noble lady down.

The peerless face and this elegant and gentle demeanor made Ming Chen feel a little dazed and even distressed for a moment.

But the feeling was gone as soon as it came.

"Yue Ran, it was thanks to you that the young lady of the Minister of War was saved tonight. You have made a great contribution by saving a life. What reward do you want? As long as you say it, this prince will give it to you as long as it is within my power."

"Your Royal Highness is too serious. Yue Ran has only wanted to save someone and is not hoping for the sake of any repayment."

"There are rewards and punishments for everything. For example, if you did something wrong, wouldn't the Prime Minister punish you for it?"

Seeing the change in Yue Ran's expression, Ming Chen quickly changed his words.

He had accidentally let his tongue slip.

He let out a discreet cough.

"I mean, I should reward you in this matter, and I don't want to hear any objections about this."

Yue Ran smiled lightly at his words; her shy posture was as beautiful as a blooming begonia.

Silent seduction has always been the most lethal, and those who are unknowingly tempted find it even more difficult to resist.

Looking at Yue Ran's embarrassing appearance of being fully drenched from head to toe but still looking extremely charming, Ming Chen's heart could not help but fluctuate.

The bright red dress on her body adheres to every curve, highlighting her entire body, which Ming Chen found himself slowly appreciating as he traced her from head to toe with his eyes.

Ming Chen unknowingly raised his leg and was about to walk toward the girl in front of him. He didn't even know what he was going to do—or say, for that matter—but he couldn't help but want to get close to her.

But the world didn't give him this chance.

"Yue Ran!"

A slightly immature voice pierced the silent night.

It was Ming Ze.

Ming Chen was immediately snapped out of his trance.

Right, he already has someone he likes.

He shouldn't provoke other women, at least not for the time being, and certainly not in front of the person he likes. freewёbnoνel.com

He would have many chances to do so in the future, but not right now.

After all, as a member of the imperial family, it was also an important task for him to spread leaves and branches for the imperial family.

And doing that meant that he would most definitely have many concubines in the future.
