Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Just as Liu Sangning easily caught the jade pendant that Li Xuanche threw out, Gu Xiao, who had been silently observing the changes in the expressions of these people, naturally could not miss the dark look that flashed across Li Xuanche's eyes.

It should be noted that Li Xuanche's move this time was actually a deliberate test of Gu Xiao. This situation was exactly the same as when he confronted Liu Sangning head-on in his previous life. It could be described as a fierce battle with sparks flying.

Based on his experience in reading people, Li Xuanche in his previous life probably admired Liu Sangning quite a bit deep down, but at the same time, he was wary of her. On the one hand, he deeply loved Liu Sangning, but on the other hand, he was completely unwilling to tame such a unique woman as the kind of traditional matriarch who would be confined to a secluded mansion all day long.

In Li Xuanche's eyes, Liu Sangning was like a wild and untamed Akhal-Teke horse, yet one couldn't bear to kill it. He was fascinated by the unrestrained and decisive nature Liu Sangning displayed, but at the same time, he vehemently hated this free and decisive nature that he couldn't control.

So here's the question: since Liu Sangning and Li Xuanche have gradually developed some genuine feelings for each other during their battles, what would Ling Yubai, who has always been indifferent to fame and fortune and regards all things in the world as fleeting clouds, think?

Thinking of this, Gu Xiao couldn't help but feel curious, so he slowly raised his head and looked towards the pavilion not far away.

The slender and graceful figure in the pavilion sat quietly on the wooden chair, motionless, his face showing neither surprise nor joy, revealing no emotion.

At this moment, Gu Xiao couldn't help but wonder: Faced with such an extraordinary Liu Sangning, would this seemingly detached cousin also fall in love with her?

However, the actual development was completely beyond Gu Xiao's expectations.

Ling Yubai sat there quietly, completely ignoring Liu Sangning who was talking loudly under the pavilion. His face remained expressionless, as if everything happening around him had nothing to do with him.

His eyes were empty and cold, without the slightest ripple, like a stagnant pool, from which no one could discern a change in emotion.

At this moment, Ling Yubai gave the impression of a fish about to die, devoid of all life and vitality. Although his body was still sitting upright, his soul seemed to have drifted away from his body and entered a world inaccessible to others.

Ling Yubai was actually spacing out!

When Gu Xiao discovered this secret, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

However, Gu Xiao's chuckle made Liu Sangning, who was observing Li Xuanche's expression, feel that Gu Xiao was mocking her suggestion. She couldn't help but speak coldly and sarcastically, "Is this your cousin Gu? Does she have any objections to my suggestion?"

Gu Xiao was suddenly called out, and her face showed a little embarrassment. Before she could speak, she heard Ling Yubai, who was "daydreaming" beside her, say coldly, "My cousin is just a woman from a secluded family. She doesn't understand the ways of officialdom. Your Highness doesn't need to make things difficult for her."

Now that it's confirmed that Gu Xiao has no relationship with Li Xuanche, and therefore isn't on the Empress's side, there's only one possibility: Gu Xiao must admire him and, facing hardship in the mansion, has resorted to this desperate measure of seducing him.

It was just a young girl's thought. Since she admired him, if he stood idly by, it would probably make her feel disheartened. So, he naturally helped if he could.

"You've only exchanged a few words before you're already defending her? Could it be that my cousin has some extraordinary talent that she's unwilling to share?" Li Xuanche teased, but didn't forget to re-examine Gu Xiao beside him.

When Li Xuanche's gaze fell on Gu Xiao again, Gu Xiao immediately became alert. She tried to pretend to be timid, but it was too late, and Li Xuanche caught her red-handed.

If Liu Sangning hadn't spoken up to remind him, Li Xuanche would probably still be naively believing that Gu Xiao had already left.

However, the truth was quite surprising. Not only did Gu Xiao not leave, but he remained calm and composed, having heard everything that Gu Xiao and he had carefully planned.

If a woman could truly catch Ling Yubai's eye, how could she be just a pretty face with no substance?

Thinking of this, Li Xuanche couldn't help but feel a bit more curious and inquisitive about this woman who pretended to be weak in front of him but was actually very intelligent. His attention, which had been wandering around, was instantly drawn to Gu Xiao as if by a magnet.

Li Xuanche's lips curled up slightly, revealing a half-smile. He gently shook the crystal-clear jade flute in his hand and said slowly, "Cousin, cousin, you've heard some things you shouldn't have heard. What should we do?" As he spoke, he slowly approached Gu Xiao, each step carrying an invisible pressure, as if he wanted to drive the petite woman in front of him to the brink of despair.

As Li Xuanche pressed closer and closer, giving Gu Xiao no chance to breathe and almost putting her in a hopeless situation, Ling Yubai, who had been sitting quietly with his eyes closed as if asleep, suddenly opened his eyes without warning. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and then he coldly uttered a sentence that was like a thunderbolt in everyone's ears, leaving everyone present speechless and unable to recover for a long time.

"Your Highness and Miss Gu are not related by blood. It is inappropriate for you to keep calling her 'cousin.' Moreover, Miss Gu already has someone she loves. If someone with ulterior motives hears you calling her that, it might be inappropriate."
