Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty-Chapter 62: Unloved Daughter of Yue Mansion (16)

Would Yue Ran once again leave him for his big brother?

Would she chase after his big brother's carriage even after it had traveled so far away?

"I know," Yue Ran replied nonchalantly.

Ming Ze blinks. Once. Twice. Thrice.

It took a few long seconds for him to register her words.

"You know?"

"Hmm," Yue Ran hummed lightly in reply to Ming Ze's words.

She looked in the direction where Ming Chen's carriage had left long ago.

Ming Ze was a little dazed and confused, seemingly not understanding the current situation.

Why was Yue Ran so different from the Yue Ran before, who was madly infatuated with Ming Chen?

Still, Ming Ze felt pleasantly surprised.

"Then, why did you not chase after my big brother?"

Yue Ran stared at Ming Ze when she heard his words; both were following a stream of people who had crowded together to watch a street performance.

Then she turned her attention lightly to the man beside her.

"My elder brother advised me to win His Royal Highness', the Crown Prince's, heart by playing hard to get."

She was playing a push-and-pull strategy.

These words poked Ming Ze's heart.

He was sad that Yue Ran hadn't yet given up on his big brother.

Although it was painful, he was pleased that Yue Ran trusted him enough to reveal such a vital secret that would make or break her plans to win Ming Chen's affection.

Yue Ran smiled at his reaction.

"If you ever want to give up on me, you can do it anytime."

She looked perfectly content with either a "yes" or a "no" to his decision.

It was as if... she had never expected anything from him, so anything less from him made no difference.

Ming Ze was so angry he could breathe fire—those eyes of his were emitting flames of anger.

"It's absolutely impossible for me to give up on you; you have no way to get rid of me in this life!"

The young man's eyes grew darker.

Was his affection for her so weak in her opinion?

Yue Ran looked at Ming Ze with a haughty smirk and a meaningful gaze.

"I hope you can do what you say."

This is how the original body always acted in front of Ming Ze.

She never once hid her selfish and arrogant nature in front of Ming Ze, and Ming Ze himself never seemed to be put off by her unruly and rude attitude.

His feelings for her had not changed since he fell in love with her at such a young age.

So why did he give the original body such a hard blow in the end?

Yue Ran herself was also unsure.

That part was really suspicious, and it did successfully tickle her curiosity.

This must be another thing hidden by the Lord God.

How annoying.

Xia Mansion.

"Did Young Lady Yue bring such important news that she would spend her valuable time stopping in front of the General's Mansion so early in the morning?"

Yue Ran lightly patted her dress, which carried a layer of cold, dewy air.

"I know that General Xia likes Xue Lu, the daughter of the Grand Tutor of the Emperor, and I am here to help you with your pursuit of her affection."

Xia Zhan's eyes sharpened.

How did Yue Ran find out that he had feelings for Xue Lu?

He narrowed his eyes and drew his sabre, placing it neatly on Yue Ran's neck with one swift move.

Just a slight step, and the blade would draw blood.

He doesn't believe that Yue Ran came to him with such kind intentions. He doesn't believe that Yue Ran would ever come to help him!

"Tell me the real reason why you came looking for me; don't think that just because you are the prime minister's daughter, I dare not hurt you!"

Yue Ran scanned the man's angry appearance with her star-like eyes.

Xia Zhan had sword-like brows, a pair of sharp eyes, and sharp features, looking so imposing that an average person would not dare look at him directly in the eyes.

His whole aura resembled that of a sharp, unsheathed sword pointing straight at her, wild and untamed.

But those sharp edges will most probably be sheathed away in front of Xue Lu.

Yue Ran, unlike the average person, was not at all intimidated by Xia Zhan.

She lightly touched the blade of the sword with her hand. Those fingers were slender, and the fingertips were crystal-clear pink, as transparent as jade.

Standing so quietly, she was like a piece of gorgeous porcelain; her temperament was clear and flexible, and she was clad in rich red; she was noble like a blooming peony.

Xia Zhan was startled by her actions. Although he was not afraid of hurting Yue Ran, he still didn't want to cause himself unnecessary trouble that would be troublesome to resolve.

He was silent for a while, but finally couldn't help pulling the blade away from Yue Ran's neck.

"—You!"

"What's wrong with me? I came here with good intentions to help you, but that's how you treat me?"

Yue Ran's eyes fell on the sword in Xia Zhan's hand that was still unsheathed.

"You really came to help me?"

Xia Zhan felt a little guilty, especially after looking at Yue Ran's sincere eyes. But how could a dignified general admit that he was wrong in front of a woman?

Yue Ran doesn't really care about Xia Zhan's rude actions; after all, she didn't really come to help this general win Xue Lu's heart.

She was only here to cause more chaos.

The bigger, the better.

"Of course." Yue Ran folded her hands. "You also know that Xue Lu doesn't have anyone she's interested in." She slightly tilted her head. "In other words, since she still doesn't like anyone in particular, you should be ready to take action to be able to win her affection."

"It's not that Xue Lu doesn't like anyone; it's just that few people can compete with her talent, so she's a little cold and distant to everyone else."

Yue Ran hummed at his words.
