Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan
Chapter 305 The Redemption of the Frail Cousin (5)
"No!" A loud shout seemed to pierce through layers of mist, echoing from a distant pavilion. Li Xuanche's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Ling Nanchen, the second young master of the Ling family, rushing towards them like a gust of wind.
Speaking of Li Xuanche and Ling Yubai, the two have known each other since childhood, so Li Xuanche is naturally very familiar with Ling Nanchen, the second young master of the Ling family.
If we were to compare Ling Yubai to Ling Nanchen, he would be like an unfathomable and unbreakable hard bone; in contrast, Ling Nanchen is completely different. He is like a powder keg that can be ignited at any moment, with his joys, sorrows and anger all clearly written on his handsome face.
At this moment, seeing Ling Nanchen rushing over here in a flurry, he didn't hesitate to tightly protect Gu Xiao behind him, completely disregarding the fact that his rightful fiancée Liu Sangning was standing next to him. Li Xuanche couldn't help but chuckle to himself: It seems that a wonderful show is about to unfold here today!
However, before Ling Nanchen could react, there was a soft "whoosh" sound. In the blink of an eye, Mo Feng, the highly skilled guard beside Ling Yubai, appeared like a ghost. With lightning speed, he effortlessly lifted Ling Nanchen up and threw him directly onto the lakeside, a full ten feet away from Gu Xiao.
At the same time, looking at Liu Sangning beside her, the moment she saw Ling Nanchen appear, a very strange expression appeared on her originally calm face.
As a player who pursues others, Liu Sangning can be said to have extreme disgust for her second target, Ling Nanchen.
Compared to her other two targets, Ling Nanchen in front of her was a truly despicable person, making her feel disgusted from the bottom of her heart.
He thought only of himself, loved himself dearly, yet couldn't bear to divorce his wife with whom he had no affection, ultimately leaving him to grow old alone in unrequited love.
Wanting it all, unable to give up this or that, in the end, he had nothing left. This was the ending originally envisioned for Ling Nanchen.
But for the sake of the mission, she still wanted to go back and improve her favorability, so she gently and considerately helped Ling Nanchen, who had fallen to the ground, up.
Ling Nanchen's face flushed slightly, and he felt extremely awkward facing Liu Sangning, who was still his fiancée. Although he was no longer Gu Xiao's husband, Ling Nanchen would still subconsciously avoid Liu Sangning's touch and habitually look at Gu Xiao's reaction.
But he found that Gu Xiao was not as lost and sensitive as she had been in his previous life. When she looked at him and Liu Sang, it was as if she were looking at a pair of strangers. His heart, which had been clenched, suddenly felt empty, and for a moment Ling Nanchen was even a little lost.
Seeing the three people in front of him exchanging glances and remaining silent, Li Xuanche couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. A slightly mocking smile played on his lips as he decided to speak with interest, asking, "Cousin Gu has long harbored feelings for Bai Zhi, and Bai Zhi is well aware of this. I originally intended to be a matchmaker for them, to facilitate this beautiful marriage. But for some reason, Second Young Master, you seem to find this inappropriate?"
Hearing Li Xuanche's words, Ling Nanchen was utterly astonished. He shook his head in disbelief, muttering to himself, "Xiaoxiao likes Big Brother? That's simply a fantasy! Absolutely impossible, she clearly likes..." At this point, Ling Nanchen suddenly realized he had almost let something slip, and quickly stopped himself, his expression becoming somewhat embarrassed.
But I could never bring myself to say that word, because Ling Nanchen also knew that he seemed to have failed Xiaoxiao's feelings for him.
There was a time when Liu Sangning and her elder brother had loving moments before Liu Sangning married him. However, after the Ling family fell into decline, he valued Liu Sangning more because she could help him make a comeback. He felt more annoyed and impatient with Gu Xiao, who only knew how to cry.
Before Ling Nanchen could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Li Xuanche's excited and impatient voice: "I know perfectly well that Cousin Gu is truly devoted to your elder brother!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Nanchen seemed to wake from a dream, instantly stunned and speechless, his face filled with disbelief. Then, as if he had lost his soul, he anxiously bombarded Li Xuanche with questions: "Your Highness, is what you say true? Xiaoxiao's love interest is actually my elder brother? How is that possible? They've only met once, how could she fall for a stranger?"
Faced with Ling Nanchen's intense reaction, Li Xuance looked completely unfazed, even gleefully watching him as he teased, "Cousin Gu has already admitted to this matter herself. If you have any doubts, Second Young Master, you might as well ask her directly."
After receiving Li Xuanche's response, Ling Nanchen could no longer suppress his anxiety. He hurriedly turned his head and cast an expectant gaze at Gu Xiao, hoping to catch even the slightest bit of disappointment or longing in her eyes.
However, to his utter surprise, all he saw was Gu Xiao's cold indifference and unusually calm expression. When she looked at him, her gaze was as if she were sizing up a complete stranger, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
"Xiaoxiao, could it be that you... have really fallen in love with your older brother?" Ling Nanchen bit his lip, his face slightly flushed, and asked in a tone that was almost like gritting his teeth.
"You...you are truly shameless!" Ling Nanchen was enraged by Gu Xiao's indifferent gaze, feeling as if Gu Xiao was slapping him with a huge green hat again. His words were sharp and sarcastic, "Don't you even know who you are? How dare you covet my brother?"
"Identity again? Second cousin, don't you have any new words to humiliate me?" Faced with Ling Nanchen's furious outburst and the fact that he had just blurted out her nickname, Gu Xiao knew that Ling Nanchen had also been reborn.
Since she had already decided to be a stranger after waking up, why was she pretending to be affectionate here? It was disgusting. Besides, she naturally knew her own identity and could never really marry Ling Yubai.
“Of course I know my status is unworthy of my eldest cousin, but I am unwilling to be a concubine. If I cannot marry the one I love in this life, what does it matter if I spend my life in seclusion with a Buddhist lamp and a monk? What does this have to do with my second cousin?” Gu Xiao argued forcefully, refusing to back down, leaving Ling Nanchen repeatedly defeated. He could only turn pale with anger, pointing at Gu Xiao's nose and repeating, “What kind of behavior is this?”
Li Xuanche, watching the commotion below, added fuel to the fire by saying to Ling Yubai, "Since ancient times, devoted women have been betrayed by heartless men. This cousin Gu is going to lose completely when she meets you."
"Who said she would lose?" Facing Li Xuanche's sarcasm, Ling Yubai narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, her voice still gentle but powerful, "Since she chose to like me, it proves that her judgment is not wrong. I will not let her down. Even in my illness, she still treats me with sincerity. I am grateful for her kindness and will definitely write three letters and six betrothal letters to marry her!"
"What? Big brother, you really want to marry her?" This time it was Ling Nan's turn to be dumbfounded.
Ling Yubai's expression was indifferent. "What? Second brother seems quite concerned about his cousin's matter?"
