Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Today, Ling Yubai was dressed in a silver-white brocade robe, which shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight, seemingly blending seamlessly with him. However, despite being bathed in the warm sunlight, his expression was as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth.

He sat quietly on the wooden chair, like an iceberg, unapproachable.

On that handsome face, there were no superfluous or useless emotional fluctuations, only indifference and aloofness. His deep eyes gazed indifferently at Gu Xiao in front of him, seemingly unconcerned about her presence, and he did not utter a single word.

In stark contrast, the man in blue standing beside Ling Yubai appeared exceptionally warm and friendly. He smiled and walked towards Gu Xiao with a kind expression, softly asking, "Miss, have you gotten lost in this manor? Would you like me to send someone to take you back?" His voice was gentle and kind, seemingly capable of melting hearts.

Gu Xiao carefully examined the man in blue. His cuffs were embroidered with auspicious clouds in gold thread, and he wore a vermilion and white jade belt with a delicate white jade pendant hanging from it. He was clearly of extraordinary status, and the man who could chat so happily with Ling Yubai must be the Prince of Qing, Li Xuanche, who was eventually exiled to the frontier.

When Li Xuanche stepped forward to help Gu Xiao, his eyes lit up; she was a stunning beauty he had never seen before.

Her eyes were moist with spring water, her face was like solidified cream; adding an inch would make her too tall, subtracting an inch would make her too short, applying powder would make her too pale, applying rouge would make her too red.

However, the drab gray skirt made her look rather plain, and she was easily overlooked unless you looked closely.

Gu Xiao lowered her head slightly, her long eyelashes obscuring her eyes, making it difficult to discern her true emotions. She clasped her hands in front of her, leaning slightly forward, appearing cautious and submissive. She seemed afraid of attracting anyone's attention and tried her best to minimize her presence.

When she answered Li Xuanche softly, her voice was so gentle that it seemed as if a breeze could dispel it: "Replying to...Replying to my lord, I am just a lowly cousin in this household, surnamed Gu." Her words were full of humility and timidity, as if she were truly someone who could not be brought into the public eye.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuanche was taken aback at first, then a look of sudden realization appeared on his face. He laughed heartily and said, "Oh my! So that's how it is! Since she's my own cousin, and she's so beautiful, why is she hiding herself like this? Quickly! Guards! Quickly, give this beautiful cousin a seat!" As he spoke, he waved his hands repeatedly, signaling the guards beside him to hurry up.

At the same time, Li Xuanche turned his head and winked at Ling Yubai, saying with a hint of teasing, "Look, we actually have such a beautiful cousin in our household. Why didn't you mention her to me before? Did you want to keep her hidden away?"

After gaining her freedom, Gu Xiao didn't dare to delay for a moment. Like a startled rabbit, she quickly moved to stand beside Ling Yubai. Her eyes revealed vigilance, as if she was still worried about encountering danger again.

Li Xuanche is a ruthless and decisive man, but also a romantic and affectionate one. He likes beautiful women, but he prefers confident and flamboyant women. He doesn't like women who lack their own opinions and are timid and cowardly. So, in his previous life, after Liu Sangning became a widow, even though she was demoted to the Northwest, she was still harassed by him quite a bit. Otherwise, Ling Nanchen wouldn't have been so eager to give Liu Sangning a child.

Gu Xiao only needed to pretend to be someone she already had feelings for, and to act like a timid and weak housewife. With a clear idea and judgment in mind, Gu Xiao had a plan and knew how to act in a way that would make the other person dislike her.

She still dared not look directly at Li Xuanche, lowered her head slightly, and nestled gently behind Ling Yubai, her hands lightly tugging at his sleeves, her beautiful eyes revealing a trace of attachment and timidity.

She gently bit her lower lip, as if gathering her courage, and called out in a trembling voice, "Cousin..." Anyone who saw her would feel pity for her, but unfortunately, Li Xuanche hated her the most.

As Gu Xiao had expected, when Li Xuanche witnessed this scene, his previously interested gaze instantly dimmed.

However, he still maintained that faint smile on his face and said in a relaxed tone, "So, my cousin came here specifically to find Bai Zhi?" After saying that, Li Xuanche casually pointed with the jade flute in his hand at Ling Yubai, who was standing to the side with a sullen face, and said with a slightly teasing self-deprecating tone, "In that case, it seems that I am the one who is causing a lot of trouble here."

Ling Yubai frowned slightly, but he did not show any dissatisfaction or objection to Li Xuanche's unabashed use of his courtesy name.

Ling Yubai had been observing Gu Xiao and Li Xuanche's reactions ever since Gu Xiao entered the garden. Seeing that Li Xuanche seemed to genuinely not recognize Gu Xiao, he then reassured himself and instructed Mo Feng beside him, "Take Miss Biao away from here first."

It's worth noting that the name Bai Zhi sounds like a woman's name, so it's rarely mentioned in daily life. Yet, Li Xuanche has called her that name so openly and without any restraint, and Ling Yubai hasn't even gotten angry. This shows that the relationship between the two must be exceptionally close.

Li Xuanche had no interest in Gu Xiao, a mere pretty face with no substance, so he was naturally happy to let her leave.

However, just as Gu Xiao turned around to leave, the guards outside the door suddenly brought in another person.

The person being escorted was dressed in simple clothes, completely different from the women at the poetry gathering who wore gorgeous gowns.

Although it was only a brief and hurried glance, that one glance was enough to startle Gu Xiao! Because she instantly recognized the person—the only person in the world who was so fond of white clothes was that person.

That person was none other than the woman who filled her with fear and dread every time she woke up in the middle of the night in her past life, and also the sister-in-law that her nominal husband had always been thinking about and longing for—Liu Sangning.
