Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

The flower viewing banquet was held as scheduled three days later.

Chu Yunhe's power is now beginning to take shape, so many influential people are attending this banquet to make connections with him.

Xiao Xiao sat in the crowd, head down, thinking about the first promise Chu Yunhe had asked her for: that she should pour a pot of wine for Shen She tonight.

Shen She sat alone in a corner, intently tuning his guqin, seemingly oblivious to the surrounding clamor. His figure appeared even more lonely and distant in the dim light, unapproachable. Xiao Xiao gazed at him from afar, a complex mix of emotions welling up within her.

Not only was Shen She's temperament difficult to discern, but he also extremely disliked being disturbed while he was playing the zither. It is said that once, the daughter of the Imperial Censor, oblivious to the danger, went up to fawn over Shen She while he was playing the zither, and the next day, Emperor De arbitrarily betrothed her to a lame soldier guarding the city gate.

The young lady refused to marry the cripple after hearing about it, but in the end, Shen She ordered his men to tie her up and put her in the bridal sedan chair, forcing her to marry the cripple.

Just as Xiao Xiao was struggling with her inner turmoil and hesitation, Chu Yunhe's clear, gentle voice, tinged with a hint of mockery, came from above: "Tonight is such a lively and bustling evening, yet you, Lord Shen, are sitting alone in a remote spot. Wouldn't that make me, the host, bear the blame for deliberately neglecting you? If you don't mind, Lord Shen, I would like to ask my younger sister to offer you a toast on my behalf, as a way of expressing my apologies for my poor hospitality."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao closed her eyes tightly, took a deep breath, slowly opened her eyes, picked up her wine cup, walked towards Shen She, and said softly, "My lord, please drink this cup to the brim."

However, in response to Xiaoxiao's actions, Shen She did not stop plucking the strings of his zither, but simply replied, "Your Highness's kindness is appreciated, but as for the wine, there is no need for it."

Upon seeing this, Chu Yunhe raised his eyebrows and asked with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Lord Shen, are you perhaps unwilling to give me this face?"

Shen She lowered his head slightly and replied calmly, "That's not true. I simply have no interest in drinking."

Chu Yunhe raised a slight smile, "It's alright. Since that's the case, let my sister offer another cup of tea to Lord Shen instead of wine. What do you think, my lord?"

Upon hearing this, Shen She abruptly raised his head. His previously ruthless phoenix eyes had turned icy cold. He curled his lips into a half-smile and asked, "Is Your Highness trying to blackmail me with these actions?"

Chu Yunhe quickly waved his hand, his face full of smiles, and pretended to be innocent as he explained, "How dare I! I did this entirely out of respect for you, sir, so I wanted to get closer to you."

Shen She glanced indifferently at the woman who could barely hold her wine glass, his face still cold and expressionless, and said, "If Your Highness really wants to build a relationship with me, there is no need to involve others."

It seems that Shen She is indeed very protective of Xiao Xiao.

Seeing this, Chu Yunhe's smile widened, and he explained softly, "Hehe, this is not difficult at all. My younger sister has always admired you greatly, and this opportunity to get close to you is something she has always dreamed of."

Xiao Xiao knelt before Shen She, holding a wine cup, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, said in a trembling voice, "Xiao Xiao admires your heroic bearing and specially begged my elder brother for the opportunity to offer you wine. I hope you will have mercy on me."

These words caused an uproar at the table.

Suddenly, more and more eyes were drawn to Shen She and Xiao Xiao. Everyone was amazed by Xiao Xiao's audacity and foolishness, and they were just waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

Shen She stared intently at the wine glass in front of him, his heart filled with helplessness and sighs. He simply couldn't understand why Chu Yunhe harbored such deep suspicions towards him.

Thinking of this, Shen She's usually icy face suddenly revealed a bitter smile. "It's because I didn't protect him when he was young, and he's suffered so much. It's inevitable that I'll have some suspicions."

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, he slowly took the wine glass from Xiaoxiao's hand, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Since this is Your Highness's kind intention, I will naturally obey." As he spoke, Shen She turned his empty wine cup upside down to show everyone that he had drunk every last drop of wine.

Upon seeing Shen She's actions, Chu Yunhe's smile grew even brighter. He clapped his hands excitedly and praised Shen She's drinking capacity.

Seeing Shen She drink the entire glass of wine so decisively, Xiao Xiao finally felt relieved. She breathed a sigh of relief and, ignoring the malicious stares of those around her, returned to her seat.

However, as soon as Xiaoxiao sat down, Gu Qingwan grabbed her arm.

Gu Qingwan was clearly still recovering from the tension she had just experienced. With a face full of anger, she questioned Xiaoxiao, "Didn't your mother tell you to stay away from that person? How could you still dare to take such a risk?" Her words were full of resentment and blame for Xiaoxiao's disobedience.
