"Surrender? Your biological mother is Princess Liuyun of the previous dynasty. You are already so noble that you can bear your mother's surname."

"The Xiao family, your mother's family, is the most powerful and wealthy family in the imperial city."

"You are the only child of Princess Liuyun, and everyone in Duke Cheng's mansion treats you like a treasure."

"Your three half-brothers are useless. Half of the Cheng family's secret power is in your hands."

"Hai Yi, your childhood sweetheart, the Hai family is nominally the number one family, with students all over the world."

"You rely on the Xiao family in front of you, the Hai family at your back, and the Cheng family's power in your hands."

"Wealth, power, fame. You have them all."

"So I'm very curious, Miss Xiao, what exactly do you mean by surrendering?"

"What do you want from me?"

"You don't seem to lack money, wealth, and power. I don't think there is anything we can cooperate on."

Xiaoyu played with the jade seal in her hand, with a look of calmness in her eyes.

Her pleasant voice, every word lingered in Xiao Yun'er's ears.

"Your Highness, you think too highly of me."

Xiao Yun'er just smiled softly, with a gleam in her eyes. She placed her fair and soft hand gently on Xiaoyu's shoulder.

"It's true that the Xiao family is powerful, but my late mother's reputation is far from that great."

"It's just because of my late mother that the Xiao family loves me a little, but the real power has never been in my hands."

"I am the only legitimate daughter of the Cheng family, and I do have the power of the Cheng family. But whether it is the title or wealth of the Cheng family, which one will eventually fall into my hands?"

"Why should I say more about the Hai family? Your Highness, how much do you think Hai Yi, a cold-blooded and profit-seeking person, is sincere to me?"

"Your Highness knows what is going on. Why test him?"

"Yun'er is just a paper tiger. Your Highness knows better than me how much of the prosperity before us is real and how much is fake, right?"

Xiao Yun'er smiled and said that no matter what she said, her eyes were so pure.

Using the most delicate and innocent face, saying the most shrewd and realistic words.

Xiaoyu had a smile in her eyes, raised her eyebrows, and played with the ends of her hair with a hint of playfulness.

She did come with a tentative approach.

If it weren't for the original novel, the Xiao Yun'er in front of him wouldn't seem so annoying.

Even, it's interesting.

"Your Highness holds the greatest power in the world."

Xiao Yun'er smiled, looked straight at Xiaoyu, and spoke softly.

"You are quite courageous. Where do you place the Emperor?" Xiaoyu's eyes were filled with inquiry and interest, but her expression was still cold.

"How can you be friends with His Highness if you are so timid?"

"The emperor's authority is supreme, but there are things that the emperor cannot do and dare not do, but Your Highness can do it."

"Who doesn't know that what Your Highness said is the imperial decree?"

"You are loyal to anyone you surrender to. If you are loyal to someone, why not be loyal to the most powerful person in the world?"

"It is human nature to admire the strong. My surrender is not surprising."

"Your Highness and I are both women. I trust Your Highness more than I trust men."

Xiao Yun'er leaned on Xiaoyu's shoulder and whispered softly.

Xiaoyu just listened to her words and curled the corners of his lips.

The calmness and composure in her eyes make people feel cold.

But this coldness and indifference could not extinguish Xiao Yuner's heart.

The hypocritical gentleness slowly returned to Xiaoyu's eyes, and her eyebrows were as soft as water yet unattainable.

Regardless of how much truth there was in what Xiao Yun'er said, Xiaoyu couldn't believe her at this moment.

"I have a defense against you that is difficult to break."

"I admire your ambition and vision."

"But I won't accept your surrender for now. When this guard is broken, we can talk again."

Xiaoyu's eyes were calm and gentle, and she just gently tucked Xiao Yuner's hair behind her ears.

His fingertips slowly moved from her earlobe to her cheek, and then he gently let her go.

Xiaoyu always had a stereotyped impression of Xiao Yun'er from the original novel.

But putting those aside, through the words and actions of the person in front of her, Xiaoyu could clearly see her purpose and ambition.

For Xiaoyu at this moment, Xiao Yun'er was far from being that intimidating.

The description in the original work can only be regarded as the grudge in Xiaoyu's heart.

At this moment, she looked at Xiao Yun'er carefully, and felt interest and appreciation.

Ambition has never been a derogatory word. She likes the ambition hidden in Xiao Yuner's bones.

The soft and innocent appearance is like Xiao Yuner's weapon.

Xiaoyu admired her flawless behavior and her calmness in the face of power.

However, Xiao Yun'er's methods and thoughts were still too immature. It was only when Xiaoyu really approached her and made eye contact with her that he felt that she posed no threat.

Things seem to be developing in an unexpected direction.

The person who was supposed to seduce Tang Zhao unexpectedly came into contact with Xiaoyu, and even brought undisguised seduction.

As long as Tang Zhao wasn't hurt, Xiaoyu was happy to play with her.

She was no threat to herself.

Putting aside the original work, Xiaoyu wanted to know what she could change and how much she could change.

I also want to see how Xiao Yun'er became the original character step by step.

The Xiao Yun'er in front of him was not that hateful.

She wanted to see what Xiao Yun'er would become and what her ending would be.

What if she wasn't as murderous and bloodthirsty as in the original novel?

What if she also differs from the original?

Xiaoyu has already discovered the inconsistencies and contrasts among many characters. What if Xiao Yuner is the same?

Xiaoyu clearly hated it to death while reading the book, but she met so many people and so many things.

Xiao Yun'er was no longer just some shallow words in the book, but a living being standing before him.

At this moment, Xiaoyu wanted to put aside her original intention and get to know the person in front of her.

If she is really the same as in the book, Xiaoyu doesn't mind enforcing justice and will not be merciful.

But if not, then she should also live a bright life.

Xiaoyu hopes it is the latter.

"I can pretend that what happened today never happened."

"I don't care even if you tell others about this private seal. It has not been discovered in public, so it has no impact on me."

"Since you know my power, you should understand that I don't care about the world's opinions."

"Today, I will pretend that I have never lost it."

After Xiaoyu finished speaking, she rubbed the jade pendant on Xiao Yuner's chest with her fingertips.

The auspicious cloud white jade pendant had a smooth texture. Xiaoyu gently took it off and held it in the palm of his hand.

"I will take this thing away, and I will also prove your lie that this is my personal property."

Xiao Yun'er smiled widely, and her smile was adorable with the corners of her lips raised.

"This is my favorite jade pendant. I was going to give it to you as a token of our love."

"Your Highness is so stingy that you didn't even exchange your maiden name with me, but took away my token of love."

Xiao Yun'er said this in a coquettish tone, with a hint of teasing and innocence, and naked temptation in her eyes.

Xiaoyu smiled frivolously and played with the auspicious cloud jade pendant in her hand.

She lifted Xiao Yun'er's chin again.

"Call me Xiaoyu."

After she said that, she just let go of his hand and walked away.

Xiaoyu's back was getting farther and farther away in Xiao Yun'er's sight. She looked at the back and smiled with her eyebrows curved.

"Little fish."

Xiao Yun'er smiled and called out in a low voice.

The sound was so soft that only she could hear it.
