Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring
Chapter 238 The Southern Border Witch 81
Chu Yun and Xiao Qi'an reached a contract to be a fake couple for one year, during which time they could not reveal the contents of the contract to anyone.
After the agreement was reached, Xiao Qi'an quickly released the news. He invited all the factions to attend his wedding a month later. At the wedding, he would expose Xiao Changfeng's evil deeds and succeed as the head of Xiao Yue Manor. After the wedding, the martial arts tournament would continue.
The young master of Xiaoyue Manor is about to get married, Xiao Changfeng will be punished, and the martial arts tournament will continue. These three events are more shocking than the last, and the entire Xiaoyue Manor and even the martial arts world are in an uproar because of the news released by Xiao Qi'an.
Although they were engaged, Xiao Qi'an couldn't stay in Chu Yun's room for too long. Besides, he had to prepare for various matters a month from now, so he didn't have much time. He only stayed briefly before returning to his own courtyard.
Chu Yun lay on the bed with her eyes closed, concentrating. She believed that someone would come looking for her soon, and she needed to rest up.
Sure enough, she only dozed off for a little over half an hour before she heard one voice after another, each one more urgent than the last.
"Sister Wen, are you there?"
"Sister Wen, I have something to ask you. Please let me in."
……
It was Chu Wenshu's voice. He was stopped at the door by the maids left behind by Xiao Qi'an. After all, it was Chu Yun's place, so he dared not be presumptuous. However, he was really anxious, so he could only call out loudly for Chu Yun.
The boy's anxious voice was blocked by the door, and only a faint tone reached Chu Yun's ears. She rubbed her slightly dizzy head, and finally, after the boy said, "If Sister Wen doesn't answer me, I have no choice but to rush in," she threw off the covers, put on her shoes and socks, and walked out of the inner room.
"Let him in."
Chu Yun's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for the people outside the door to hear. Chu Wenshu sheathed his twin swords, pushed aside the trembling maids, and rushed inside.
As soon as he entered, he saw Chu Yun sitting at the table, her eyes fixed on him, clearly waiting for him.
Upon seeing Chu Yun, Chu Wenshu's panic was miraculously calmed. He forced a smile and called out in a low voice, "Sister Wen."
Chu Yun smiled and said, "Please sit down."
After Chu Wenshu took his seat, Chu Yun poured him a cup of tea and brought it to him.
Seeing the smile on Chu Yun's face, Chu Wenshu could only take the teacup. He tilted his head back and drank the tea in one gulp. The warm water flowed down his throat and into his lungs, warming his body, which had been chilled by the cold wind from rushing over.
He casually put down his teacup and asked expectantly, "Sister Wen, I heard that you're going to marry Xiao Qi'an... Is that true? Did they make a mistake? Or is Xiao Qi'an forcing you? If he forced you, I will never let him get away with it..."
Under Chu Yun's faint smile, Chu Wenshu felt as if a wad of cotton was stuck in his throat, wet and painful, and he couldn't utter a single word.
In the end, the smile he had forced completely disappeared, and he looked at Chu Yun with a panicked expression, like a prisoner about to be sentenced, waiting for Chu Yun to give him his final verdict.
No prisoner wants to be sentenced to death. Even if they know they may not escape their fate, they still can't help but pray in their hearts that they can escape death.
Chu Wenshu felt this way at this moment, or rather, he was more afraid than a death row inmate, because in his view, if Chu Yun really willingly married Xiao Qi'an, it would be more painful than death for him.
Unfortunately, his fear and pleas were to no avail. Soon he heard Chu Yun's flat voice, which showed neither joy nor anger, but simply stated a fact calmly: "Wen Shu, I am indeed going to marry Xiao Qi'an. He did not force me; I am doing this voluntarily."
Chu Wenshu felt his soul suddenly become very light, a sense of unreality raging within him, and indescribable pain mingling in his internal organs, almost suffocating him.
He asked uncertainly, "What?"
Before Chu Yun could even reply, he quickly added, "That's impossible. You don't like Xiao Qi'an, so how could you possibly marry him? He must have forced you. He's scheming against you, just like he schemed against..."
Chu Wenshu's last shred of reason prevented him from uttering that name. He suddenly lowered his eyelids, his scalp tingling, feeling a mixture of relief and lingering fear at having escaped death. His heart pounded so hard that his arms trembled slightly.
"What are you scheming about?"
He heard Chu Yun's voice, his throat bobbed slightly, and his back was soaked.
Chu Wenshu struggled to clench his numb and weak fingers, regaining some strength. He lifted his eyelids, wanting to laugh but unable to. He could only say in a trembling voice, "Xiao Qi'an has too many people to scheme against. I was just afraid he would harm you, sister. You don't know, sister. After I woke up, I saw with my own eyes how he used any means necessary to get the position of manor lord and how he schemed against people's hearts. Such a person is not a good match for you, sister."
"Don't worry, I will protect myself. The young master has been biding his time for many years. When he finally makes his move, he will naturally strike at the enemy's weak point. It's inevitable that he will use excessive methods, but that's just a measure for a special period. Don't worry too much."
Although Chu Yun successfully concealed the matter of the letter, Chu Wenshu was not happy at all because of Chu Yun's words. It was not hard to tell from her words that she had a good impression of Xiao Qi'an. Even if she did not like him, she certainly did not dislike him.
Chu Wenshu knew how ruthless Xiao Qi'an was. He had heard that Gu Huaizhi and Xiao Qi'an were like brothers, but when Xiao Qi'an schemed against Gu Huaizhi, he showed no mercy. How could Chu Wenshu trust such a person, and how could he possibly watch Chu Yun marry him?
"But......"
Chu Wenshu wanted to say something more, but Chu Yun stopped him. "Alright, Wenshu, I know this is indeed a bit sudden, but I have thought it through carefully and I didn't act impulsively. The young master can give me what I want, and he needs me too. Our relationship is equal and strong, and that's enough for me."
Chu Yun's words reminded Chu Wenshu of the cooperation that Xiao Qi'an had mentioned to Chu Yun that day. Something flashed through his mind, and he suddenly understood the key to it.
Sister Wen's letter did not reach Gu Huaizhi, but she said she was going to see an important person, which must be Gu Huaizhi.
If Gu Huaizhi does not show up on the day of the appointment, Sister Wen will surely be heartbroken. Then she may very well be tempted by Xiao Qi'an and impulsively agree to marry him.
After sorting everything out, Chu Wenshu suddenly realized that Xiao Qi'an's interception of the letter was not only to undermine Gu Huaizhi's position in Chu Yun's heart, but also to take advantage of the situation and ask for Chu Yun's hand in marriage.
His face was extremely pale, and he wished he could expose Xiao Qi'an's true colors immediately, but he knew he couldn't reveal that Xiao Qi'an had blocked the letter, otherwise it would only hurt the enemy a thousand while harming himself eight hundred.
