Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Li Xuanche had never cared so much about that woman before, and he would never shamelessly accept being rejected three times. He clearly had feelings for her, yet he was unaware of it.

Li Zhaoyang couldn't help but smile sarcastically, then said frankly, "She is beautiful, but you must understand, brother, that she is nothing but a plaything. Don't take her too seriously, or you'll only end up being manipulated by her."

Li Xuanche gave a cold laugh, then retorted firmly, "I naturally wouldn't care about a plaything, but if it's someone else's favorite, then it's quite interesting to snatch it away, hide it, and watch the other person go crazy over it."

Li Zhaoyang also looked at the distance with agreement, at Ling Yubai, who now had a more down-to-earth air about her, "You know what, the men I've had my eye on still have some backbone. They didn't kneel down and beg me even after being poisoned. I'd like to see how they would wag their tails and beg for mercy in front of me for the sake of others."

After hearing Li Zhaoyang's words, Li Xuanche naturally knew that Li Zhaoyang had agreed to cooperate with him.

After exchanging smiles and reaching a consensus, the two then went their separate ways.

Li Xuanche waved his fan and walked with elegant steps to annoy Ling Yubai and Gu Xiao, while Li Zhaoyang went straight to the backyard to quickly deal with the dead body that was in the way.

Gu Xiao thought that if she stood next to Ling Yubai, Li Xuanche would restrain himself a bit, but to her surprise, Li Xuanche's enthusiasm did not diminish. He continued to call her "cousin" as he came over to Ling Yubai, as if he was also very familiar with her.

“Your Highness Prince Qing, please wait.” Gu Xiao, not wanting to be slandered by rumors any longer, directly stopped Li Xuanche from getting closer. “If you have anything to say, you can say it to me in front of my future husband. There’s no need to get so close.”

However, Gu Xiao's stern refusal was perceived by others as a coy attempt to seduce and harass others.

Some noble ladies who were infatuated with Li Xuanche couldn't help but whisper among themselves about Gu Xiao, saying, "She looks like a femme fatale, and she's obviously a troublemaker. Not only did she seduce Young Master Ling, but she's also hooking up with Prince Qing. She's a born vixen."

"That's right, that's right! I originally thought Young Master Ling was just naturally aloof, but it turns out he has a real demon in his family who looks down on us mortals." Another noblewoman, as if realizing something, covered her mouth and exclaimed in shock, "You say Young Master Ling is so weak, could it be that this demon can suck people's souls?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was so frightened that they kept a distance of three feet from the three people, fearing that their souls would be sucked away and they would become short-lived ghosts.

Rumors are more dangerous than tigers; Gu Xiao had experienced the power of words to kill before. In her previous life, she was too concerned and died young from depression. In this life, she never wanted to suffer such humiliation again.

Gu Xiao was too lazy to defend herself, and only sneered and said sarcastically, "Your Highness Prince Qing, everyone says that I am a demon who sucks people's souls. You'd better not spend too much time with me, lest I bring you bad luck and shorten your life."

Li Xuanche ignored him, saying, "I am of the Emperor's bloodline, and demons and evil spirits cannot get close to me. Even if my cousin is a demon, I am not afraid."

"You..." Gu Xiao was stunned by Li Xuanche's shamelessness and didn't know how to respond. She just stood angrily next to Ling Yubai, feeling somewhat helpless.

Just as Gu Xiao was at a loss and didn't know how to deal with the situation, Ling Yubai unexpectedly stretched out her fair and slender hand to Gu Xiao and said in her unique, cool voice, "Help me up!"

These four simple words seemed to possess a magical power, instantly silencing the previously noisy and clamorous scene, as if everyone had been frozen in place, remaining completely silent.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiao was slightly taken aback. Looking at Ling Yubai's outstretched hand, a sense of confusion and bewilderment welled up in her heart. But she quickly came to her senses, adopted a docile and obedient demeanor, and gently took Ling Yubai's hand.

Ling Yubai had originally intended to stand up with an elegant and graceful posture to showcase her authority and style. However, due to sitting for a long time, her legs were already numb and had lost their usual flexibility. In addition, she stood up too hastily, lost her balance, and her body suddenly leaned forward, about to fall to the ground in a sorry state.

Fortunately, Gu Xiao, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and reached out to support Ling Yubai, which helped him regain his balance and prevented an extremely embarrassing accident from happening.

At this moment, Ling Yubai spoke in a tone colder than winter frost, asking, "Your Highness Prince Qing, what exactly did you want to say to my future wife? Why not explain it clearly in front of your future husband?" Although his tone was calm, the anger contained within was self-evident, sending chills down one's spine.

The people around were stunned to see that Ling Yubai, who was usually sickly and unable to get up and walk, was able to stand up. They were all speechless, their mouths agape for a long time.

Even Li Xuanche, who had been watching the commotion from the opposite side, now looked at the two of them with increasingly complex and unpredictable eyes.

After a while, a faint smile suddenly appeared on Li Xuanche's face. "It's nothing important, just some trivial matters that I wanted to share with my sister-in-law."

“Since it’s not a serious matter, there’s no need to say more.” Ling Yubai looked at the other party coldly, made his decision without hesitation, and quickly spoke up to refuse on Gu Xiao’s behalf. His decisive attitude surprised everyone present.

Standing to the side, Li Xuanche, who had never been rejected by Ling Yubai before, was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then couldn't help but laugh in anger: "My cousin is not yet married to you, and you are so quick to make decisions for her. Aren't you afraid of hurting her feelings?"

Faced with Li Xuanche's questioning, Ling Yubai remained unmoved and instead calmly replied, "My cousin has already clearly stated that she refuses you. It's obvious that you are being tactless and refusing to listen to reason. You just insisted on coming forward to make trouble and humiliate yourself."

Enraged by Ling Yubai's sharp retort, Li Xuanche's face turned ashen with anger. He frantically shook his folding fan, making a series of rustling sounds: "Well, Bai Zhi... I never expected you to be so quick-witted! I've certainly learned my lesson today!"

However, Ling Yubai merely responded to Li Xuanche's anger and loss of composure with a cold snort, completely ignoring him as if he were invisible.

Immediately afterwards, he slowly turned around and faced the crowd. At this moment, the cold expression on his face instantly became serious and solemn. "My cousin and I had no affair before. Our marriage contract was proposed by me and agreed by my cousin. Then my aunt took the initiative to send it to the government office for stamping. Everything was reasonable and there is evidence to prove it."

If anyone deliberately slanders us, the Ling family will take legal action and sue them in court. We will never allow anyone to ruin the Ling family's century-old reputation.

After Ling Yubai finished speaking with a solemn expression, his gaze swept over everyone present like a torch, his eyes seemingly carrying a hint of authority and warning.

Then, he slowly turned his head, cast a reassuring glance at Gu Xiao beside him, and nodded slightly. In a voice loud enough for everyone to hear, he said softly, "This banquet was far too noisy and chaotic, making me feel quite irritable. I've only just recovered from my illness, and after all this, I'm really exhausted. Let's go back and rest!"

Hearing this, Gu Xiao felt a surge of warmth in her heart. This was the third time Ling Yubai had stepped forward to help her out of awkward situations and predicaments.

To say that she wasn't moved at all would be a lie. However, Gu Xiao knew that it wasn't appropriate to show her emotions too much at this moment, so she suppressed her excitement and surging emotions, obediently reaching out to gently hold Ling Yubai's arm.

The two supported each other and walked slowly but firmly towards the entrance of the banquet hall, gradually disappearing from people's sight.
