Quick Transmigration: The Beautiful Host Wants to Have Both Love and Career

???

sister in law???

Li Qinglan, Yun Suisi, and the others all showed expressions of extreme surprise.

Even Jun Sui, who was known for remaining calm even in the face of a collapsing mountain, now had an expression of undisguised horror on his face.

Yun Rancang, standing to the side, swallowed hard and stammered:

Wow, this... this is quite a fancy way to play.

Yun Suisi looked at Yun Rancang, speechless for a moment, thinking to himself:

You're quite good at summarizing.

The beautiful woman was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Luan Shayuan to address her in that way.

A complex emotion flashed across her face the moment her gaze met Luan Shayuan's.

There was anger in it, as if dissatisfaction with Luan Shayuan was burning in his heart, as if it could burst out at any moment;

There was a sense of resentment, as if she was holding a grudge over something that had not gone as planned. That resentment was like a sharp thorn, piercing her heart.

There is also a subtle, barely perceptible pain, like an old wound covered by time, throbbing faintly, not obvious, yet truly present.

But soon, this complex emotion was replaced by a hint of pride.

"Luan Shayuan, what do you mean by this?"

The beautiful woman raised her voice a few decibels, her clear tone carrying obvious dissatisfaction.

She slightly raised her chin, her eyes questioning, as if waiting for Luan Shayuan to give her a satisfactory answer.

That slightly raised chin carried a stubbornness, a stubbornness that refused to give in easily.

Luan Shayuan frowned slightly, his eyes still holding that indifference, as if nothing in the world could catch his eye.

He spoke slowly, his voice steady and indifferent, like a calm lake, without a ripple:

"Sister-in-law, you should understand what I mean."

What brings you here today?

The beautiful woman gave a soft snort, her lips curving slightly upwards with a hint of stubbornness, her gorgeous face full of defiance.

She raised her chin slightly, her tone provocative: "Of course I'm here to see you make a fool of yourself."

Luan Shayuan narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to ask, "Why today?"

Those slightly narrowed eyes revealed a sharpness, as if they could see through the beautiful woman's thoughts.

The beautiful woman's eyes flickered for a moment, then she resumed her nonchalant demeanor and casually said:

"Of course, I can come whenever I want."

That casual attitude seemed to be either perfunctory with Luan Shayuan or as if he was covering something up.

Luan Shayuan was clearly not satisfied with this answer. He tilted his head slightly and asked again, "Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman felt a surge of inexplicable anger.

She clenched her fists, her knuckles turning slightly white, and her face turned extremely pale. She gritted her teeth and said, "Yes."

Her tightly clenched hands revealed her inner anger and unease.

Watching the two exchange words, Yun Rancang grew increasingly anxious and couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Just tell me already, stop dawdling."

Yun Rancang's words, though spoken softly, were exceptionally clear in the quiet front hall.

This actually made Li Qinglan, whose mood had been fluctuating these past few days, laugh.

Li Qinglan's tense nerves relaxed slightly at this moment.

He smiled slightly, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, and glanced at Yun Rancang.

As if he had heard Yun Rancang's complaint, Luan Shayuan's expression shifted slightly, and he abruptly mentioned:

"I once said something to Qinglan."

On my birthday, I hope someone will always be by my side.

He smiled and agreed.

But this year, he didn't show up.

Luan Shayuan's voice carried a hint of loss and melancholy.

Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman slowly lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow on her face.

Her voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

"Really? It's a pity he's dead."

After saying that, she slightly raised her chin, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, making it difficult to fathom her inner thoughts at that moment.

Luan Shayuan gazed quietly at the beautiful woman, and after a moment of silence, slowly spoke:

These were actually words my father said to my mother.

From a young age, my brother and I were influenced by our parents and would unconsciously say this to our sweethearts.

The beautiful woman was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting that the words had such a background.

A sense of relief crept into her eyes, and after a moment of silence, she spoke:

"I see, it was a very affectionate past."

That relieved look in his eyes was as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart.

Luan Shayuan gazed silently at the beautiful woman, a complex expression in his eyes.

After a moment, he slowly spoke again:

“My brother has been dead for five years now. Sister-in-law, do you really not want to use my face to see my brother this time?”

Sister-in-law, you don't need to deny it. My brother and I have always been about 80% similar.

We all know this perfectly well.

The beautiful woman slightly furrowed her brows, a fleeting hint of panic flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

She shook her head firmly and said:

"You're wrong. I didn't come here as you say."

That resolute attitude seemed to be defending one's dignity.

Luan Shayuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and spoke again slowly, his words carrying an undeniable certainty:

"Even if I am now the powerful and feared Ninth Prince, so what?"

In the end, I was nothing more than a eunuch.

Why do you go to such lengths to marry me?

Stop hiding it. Isn't it just because of my face, which looks about 80% like my brother's?

Upon hearing this, the beautiful woman's face paled slightly, and a flash of anger appeared in her eyes. "Don't make false accusations!"

Luan Shayuan lowered his eyes slightly, seemingly lost in memories. After a moment, he spoke slowly, his voice tinged with melancholy:

Before my brother went to the frontier, he called me to his side and solemnly told me that he already had someone he loved.

She was a beautiful and talented woman, whose every smile and frown was as captivating as a spring flower.

The elder brother's eyes were full of tenderness and longing.

He said that when he returned from the frontier, he would marry her in a grand ceremony with eight bearers carrying her, making her the happiest woman in the world.

The beautiful woman's face fell instantly. Her once exquisite features seemed to have lost all their luster, and her eyes were filled with loneliness and sorrow.

She lowered her head slightly, her voice so soft it seemed it might dissipate into the air at any moment:

"But he... but he still broke his promise."

He once promised me such a bright future, vowing to marry me in a grand wedding procession and make me his wife, so that we could spend our lives together.

However, all of that has now vanished.

Luan Shayuan's expression also darkened slightly, his voice cold and resolute:

"He's dead too. Isn't he?"

Luan Shayuan gazed silently at the beautiful woman, his eyes swirling with complex emotions.

His voice was low and tinged with coldness as he slowly spoke:

"All your actions now are, in the final analysis, nothing more than revenge against the lover who failed to keep their promise."

You keep searching for his shadow in me, trying to punish him for breaking his promise, but what's the point?

The beautiful woman's body trembled slightly, and her eyes slowly closed, her long eyelashes fluttering gently like butterfly wings.

Immediately afterwards, a single tear slid silently down her fair cheek, as if a broken heart was weeping in silence.

Her voice was as soft as a sigh in the wind, carrying endless sorrow and longing:

"Yes, even if it's as you say, so what?"

Whether gentle or crazy, the person who could truly control me, the most important person in my life, is no longer in this world.

He was once my support, my safe haven in this world. As long as he was there, I felt incredibly safe.

But now, he's gone, gone forever, taking all my hope and happiness with him.
