Golden Branch

Lou Yu, who had long ago mastered the skill of "remaining calm even when faced with a collapse of Mount Tai", could remain calm and in control even in front of a saint or a prince.

He will have the "right" expression and will not be affected by any external factors.

Shocked?

For Lou Yu, it’s just a matter of whether he needs it or not, he won’t really have such a reaction.

But at this moment, facing Wang Heng, who seemed like a completely different person, Lou Yu was unable to control himself perfectly.

He actually lost his composure a little.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and his beautiful fox eyes were filled with shock.

"You, you——" How did you become like this?

It’s not that Wang Heng has become ugly, but, but... this kind of her is not the one Lou Yu is familiar with.

"Brother, you're back!"

After a brief moment of surprise, Wang Heng reacted quickly.

She smiled sweetly as usual, and her voice was soft and pleasant.

There was joy in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

It seemed that Lou Yu's sudden appearance made her very happy.

However, Wang Heng became thinner and lost her cuteness, as if she had suddenly grown from a child into a young girl.

She began to show the tenderness and charm of a young girl.

Although she is still a little immature, it is obvious that she has really grown up.

Not a child, but a stunningly beautiful woman who blooms quietly!

Lou Yu also came to his senses, but still couldn't accept it.

He stared at Wang Heng's slender and graceful figure, "Fat——"

Lou Yu closed his mouth just after uttering a word.

Fat girl?

No, she is not fat anymore!

For seven or eight years, Lou Yu had called Wang Heng "fat girl". These three words had long been his nickname for her.

It is the intimacy and preference that belongs only to him.

But now, facing Wang Heng with her slender waist and flowing clothes, Lou Yu couldn't even shout.

“…Why are you——” You’ve lost weight!

Lou Yu was probably really shocked. Even after calming down, he couldn't speak a complete sentence calmly.

It was Wang Heng who deliberately turned around in front of Lou Yu in order to ease the atmosphere and appease Lou Yu.

She has a slender figure and graceful posture, and the hem of her pink and purple skirt draws a beautiful arc.

The whole person is as beautiful as a painting.

Wang Heng turned around and said to Lou Yu with a smile, "Brother, I've lost a full thirty pounds."

"I am no longer a fat girl, but a slender beauty."

"Brother, do I look good?"

Wang Heng is like a sweet and naive little sister, acting naturally like a spoiled child in front of her older brother who trusts and dotes on her.

No, good, look!

The villain in Lou Yu's heart spat out three words viciously.

Lou Yu himself finally reacted.

His brain began to function normally and at high speed——

Fat girls won’t lose weight for no reason!

She has a knot in her heart!

She was afraid that she was too beautiful and would be treated as an object by her "relatives" like Wang Lin.

If she loses weight, it must be because she has resolved her emotional issues and believes that she will no longer be controlled by others.

She has the ability to "protect herself".

In fact, Lou Yu didn’t really want Wang Heng to lose weight.

That year on the Yi River, he carried the heavily loaded Wang Heng on his back, heard her mumblings when she was seriously ill, and knew her greatest fear.

Lou Yu secretly swore: Fatty, don't worry! I will definitely be your support!

I will protect you and pamper you so that you will never have to abuse yourself for these reasons again.

You can do whatever you want and be free and easy.

If you like to eat, eat until you are fat.

If you want to be beautiful, be slender and graceful, and bloom freely.

The villain in Lou Yu's heart thinks that the thinner Wang Heng is "not good-looking", but it's not really a problem with his aesthetic taste.

What he really rejected and hated was the fat girl's transformation, and it wasn't because of him!

Correct!

The fat girl suddenly lost weight, not because Lou Yu had made great achievements and became a superior person who could protect her.

"Let me guess! The reason why the fat girl lost weight is because Concubine Jiang became Imperial Concubine Jiang."

"The Saint's favorite concubine, the most favored in the harem, even the Queen has to avoid her."

Lou Yu's pair of beautiful fox eyes glanced at Wang Heng's slender and frail figure.

Lou Yu was not by Wang Heng's side, so he didn't know how long it would take to lose more than 30 kilograms.

But he was smart and tried——

People gain weight by eating one bite at a time.

If you want to lose weight, you should lose it one pound at a time.

The fat girl is still growing and cannot be overly restrained.

The fat girl is not stupid, she knows what is important and what is not.

Even if you want to lose weight, you will do it reasonably while ensuring your own health and normal growth.

About ten pounds in a month.

Thirty kilograms, it will probably take three to four months.

Lou Yu roughly estimated the time, and then combined it with relevant events in reality, and instantly came to a conclusion:

The fat girl should have started to lose weight after Concubine Jiang was brought back to the capital, or even earlier after she learned the news of the saint's successful rebellion.

"Haha, she's really smart. She knows that the daughter of a favorite concubine will no longer be treated as a plaything!"

The villain in Lou Yu's heart crossed his chest and sneered, and wisps of black air almost dyed the villain completely black.

Lou Xiaoyu, who had already turned evil, did not continue to lash out.

The angrier he got, the calmer he became.

Lou Yu even smiled gently, like a gentleman with jade-like features and a smile as beautiful as a flower.

Wang Heng's eyes were a little dazed. Brother, you are so beautiful!

The handsome men in ancient poetry probably look like my brother.

Pity!

Wang Heng sighed slightly.

However, for the sake of freedom and to clear her heart, she decided to give it up.

"It looks good! Ajiu looks good no matter what!"

Lou Yu smiled lightly and gave gentle affirmation.

"Ajiu, why don't you wait for me at the dock?"

Lou Yu began chatting casually with Wang Heng as usual: "Did you come here to deal with something urgent? What's wrong with Wang Erlang and the others? Is that what's causing you so much trouble?"

Lou Yu wanted to know why Wang Heng returned to Wangjiazhuangzi.

In fact, deep down in his heart, Lou Yu already had some guesses.

But he still wanted to hear it from Wang Heng herself.

He couldn't "wrongly accuse" a heartless fat girl.

“…” Wang Heng felt a little guilty when mentioning this matter.

She forced a smile and tried to argue: "Well, brother, my father has woken up, and my mother, younger brother and sister-in-law also need to be taken care of."

Wang Heng herself didn't have the confidence to say this.

She is not a filial daughter or a good granddaughter, nor is she an elder sister who is like a mother.

Wang Heng never took anyone in the Wang family seriously.

Lou Yu understood her best and knew that she would use the Wang family as a tool to enhance her reputation but would not treat them sincerely.

It's just a show, just pretend. There's no need to abandon Lou Yu and return to the Wang family for them.

Lou Yu smiled faintly and looked at Wang Heng quietly.

It's as if to say: You make it up! Keep making it up!

Wang Heng: ...This is the disadvantage of growing up together!

She and Lou Yu were too familiar with each other and understood each other too well.

She and he simply couldn't deceive each other.

With just one look or one gesture, you can guess the other person's thoughts and intentions.

Want to quibble?

Want to disguise?

Even if you can fool everyone, you can't fool each other.

Wang Heng was silent for a moment, then told the truth:

"Brother, I will move to Lou's Fortress because all the properties under my name will be taken over by Cui Zai."

She had nowhere to go, so she had to go to the Lou family.

Of course, Lou Yu soon helped to take back all the properties.

However, the overall situation was still uncertain at that time, and Wang Heng was not sure whether her mother could ascend to a high position.

She has no one to rely on and still needs the protection of the Lou family.

But the words she said later made her seem too selfish and utilitarian, throwing things away after using them and destroying the bridge after crossing it. Saying them out loud would not only make her lose face, but would also hurt Lou Yu's heart.

Lou Yu: ...If you don’t say it out loud, I won’t be sad?

I only knew that this girl was rebellious, but I didn't expect that she was also a heartless person.

Lou Yu smiled, not a gentle smile, but a strange and charming sneer.

His already charming fox eyes were now even more demonic.

Wang Heng: ...Brother, what's wrong?

To transform from a modest gentleman into a ghost or monster?

Wang Heng began to play the drums.

She trusted Lou Yu and was convinced that he would never hurt her.

Even if he suddenly drew his sword and pointed it at her, Wang Heng would firmly believe that there was an enemy behind her.

Brother doesn't want to kill himself, but to protect her from being hurt by the enemy!

This is the firmness and trust that comes from growing up together, relying on each other and supporting each other.

She trusts Lou Yu so much, and Lou Yu will also firmly trust her.

However, no matter how convinced she was, Wang Heng still felt a little uneasy at the moment.

Bro, this is very abnormal!

"Ah, brother!" Please, don't laugh like that! I'm scared, woo woo!

The little person in Wang Heng's heart was crying.

Lou Yu spoke up, "Not only do you want to move back to the Wang family, but you also want to draw a clear line between you and me, right?"

"……"yes!

Wang Heng gave the answer in silence.

"Let me guess again, you don't want to marry me, yes or no?"

"……"yes!

Wang Heng remained silent.

"Why?"

Lou Yu already knew the answer, but he just wanted Wang Heng to say it herself!

"I, I don't want to get married!"

I don't want to hand over my life and death to a man just because of a marriage certificate!

Of course, Lou Yu is not Wang Lin, he will not hurt himself.

But he is overbearing and always makes decisions for her in a forceful way.

She shouldn't continue to tolerate and feel aggrieved!

"Why did you want to get married before? Although we weren't engaged, you took my private seal and became my housekeeper. Didn't that mean you tacitly agreed to this marriage?"

Lou Yu continued to ask with a smile.

But that voice was like the devil's low hum coming out of hell.

"me--"

Wang Heng was speechless.

She was too embarrassed to say it.

"If you won't tell me, then let me guess. At that time, your mother wasn't yet a concubine, and you weren't yet a princess! You needed my protection!"

"Now, your mother has become a noble concubine, and you have become a princess. You are rich and safe."

Lou Yu lightly pierced through Wang Heng's fig leaf and revealed her selfishness and darkness.

"Wang Heng, I just want to ask you something. Do you have a heart?"

"My years of protection and love, in your eyes, are they really worthless?"

Wang Heng felt a little embarrassed and annoyed as Lou Yu pressed her step by step.

She shouted, "No! I didn't! I know, brother, you've been so good to me. I know everything! I'll always remember it!"

"In the future, I will continue to cherish you, trust you, and repay you!"

She is not an ungrateful ungrateful person.

She just loves herself more.

"Brother, let's be brother and sister for life, okay?"
