Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring
Chapter 60 Playthings of Imperial Nobles
Staircase corner
Gu Fenglin and Pei Shaojin overheard the entire conversation between Han Chengan and Chu Yun.
They arrived a few steps behind Han Cheng'an, and all heard his confession. They then coincidentally chose to hide here, only to meet again by chance.
Gu Fenglin wanted to observe how Chu Yun would treat Han Cheng'an after the unspoken understanding was revealed, so as to make arrangements for the follow-up.
Pei Shaojin also wanted to see Chu Yun's reaction, to see if Chu Yun would firmly choose him.
Chu Yun's words clearly pleased Pei Shaojin and poured cold water on Gu Fenglin's hopes.
Pei Shaojin's eyes and brows were filled with a smile.
He glanced at Gu Fenglin beside him, "Are you still going out?"
Gu Fenglin looked at him coldly, his eyes filled with icy coldness.
Going out now would only bring him humiliation, just like Han Cheng'an, and make Chu Yun avoid him like the plague.
Gu Fenglin could see clearly that Chu Yun only had Pei Shaojin in her heart now.
Chu Yun always regarded him only as a senior and friend, and respected him more than she was close to him.
If he rushes out to confess his feelings to Chu Yun like Han Cheng'an did, he will only truly destroy the last chance for him to be with Chu Yun.
Gu Fenglin clenched his fists; he had to stay calm and not act impulsively.
The stinging pain in his palm brought Gu Fenglin back to his senses.
"You're hiding here, how are you any better than me?" Gu Fenglin secretly mocked Pei Shaojin for his lack of confidence and distrust of Chu Yun.
Pei Shaojin understood the implied meaning and his expression stiffened.
He had to be extra careful around Chu Yun. Gu Fenglin was right; he was indeed insecure in front of Chu Yun.
Love breeds sorrow, love breeds fear; he fears he will not be able to keep Chu Yun.

Chu Yun has too many things to worry about.
Han Cheng'an was on the verge of collapse, but he couldn't care less about these things.
All he knew was that Chu Yun was too heartless towards him!
Han Cheng'an closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face and falling to the ground.
When he looked up again, Han Cheng'an's eyes were filled with a desperate madness.
"Do you really think Pei Shaojin is sincere towards you?" Han Chengan shouted.
Chu Yun frowned.
Han Cheng'an opened his mouth, wanting to mention the bet.
But just thinking about it made his head throb with pain. Pei Shaojin's mental energy was tightly binding him, as if countless needles were pricking his brain.
Despite the excruciating pain, Han Cheng'an still tried to speak.
"he......"
He uttered just one word, and something exploded deep within his spiritual world.
Han Cheng'an's face contorted in pain, and a metallic taste rose in his throat.
“Yunyun”.
Pei Shaojin appeared at some point, standing not far from Chu Yun and Han Cheng'an.
Because of his arrival, the students who were watching from the sidelines felt that this was too big a scoop and that they might choke on it, so they all stepped away from the scene to avoid getting involved.
Upon hearing the sound, Han Cheng'an turned around abruptly, his eyes burning with intense hatred.
"Cheng'an." Pei Shaojin didn't care about Han Cheng'an's anger at all, and even called out his name with a smile.
Chu Yun subconsciously bit her lip, seemingly unsure how to face Pei Shaojin.
"Shaojin, when did you arrive?" Chu Yun asked.
Chu Yun's mind raced as she tried to figure out how to explain things to Pei Shaojin, not knowing how much of her conversation with Han Cheng'an Pei Shaojin had overheard.
"I just arrived. What happened?" Pei Shaojin's eyes flickered slightly, but his smile remained unchanged.
Chu Yun breathed a sigh of relief. "It's nothing. Why didn't you tell me you were coming to see me? What if we missed each other?"
Pei Shaojin said gently, "I've calculated the time, I won't be late. I just had something come up on the way and was delayed, that's why I'm a little late."
Chu Yun felt a surge of relief.
"What are you and Cheng'an talking about?" Pei Shaojin asked again.
Chu Yun's heart, which had just settled down, suddenly jumped up. She felt uneasy and lowered her eyes to avoid Pei Shaojin's gaze.
"We just happened to run into each other. We've already finished talking, let's go."
As Chu Yun spoke, she walked towards Pei Shaojin and took his hand.
Pei Shaojin looked down and noticed that Chu Yun's eyes were darting around and her nose was covered in a thin layer of cold sweat.
Even though she couldn't lie, she still tried to deceive him. Recalling Chu Yun's merciless words to Han Cheng'an, Pei Shaojin softened and ultimately didn't make things difficult for her, nodding in agreement.
"Okay, let's go."
The two held hands, turned around, and prepared to leave.
"Chu Yun, don't go," Han Cheng'an said in a hoarse voice.
Chu Yun and Pei Shaojin paused as they left.
Han Cheng'an's face was deathly pale, and he looked extremely pained. Sweat soaked his hair, which stuck to his forehead, making him look like a big dog abandoned by its owner.
Chu Yun stood still, without turning around.
"Han Cheng'an, I've already told you everything I wanted to say, and I don't want to repeat myself."
Her voice was unusually cold, and she hardened her heart without turning around to look at Han Cheng'an.
Han Cheng'an watched Chu Yun's retreating figure, the despair in his eyes growing ever deeper.
Pei Shaojin turned to look at him with a smile on his face, "Cheng'an, you don't know yet, do you? Yunyun and I are getting engaged. We'd like to invite you to our wedding banquet."
Han Cheng'an looked up at him, gave a cold smile, and said nothing.
"Remember to come. Yunyun and I will be leaving now." Receiving no response, Pei Shaojin wasn't angry; his voice grew even gentler.
By winning Chu Yun's heart, he had won everything; Han Cheng'an was nothing more than a defeated opponent.
Pei Shaojin was originally worried that Gu Fenglin and Han Chengan were a threat to him.
However, Chu Yun's previous words strengthened Pei Shaojin's confidence.
He believed that Chu Yun would choose him and would not be swayed by anyone.
Pei Shaojin and Chu Yun's figures gradually disappeared into the distance.
Han Cheng'an's last shred of dignity was to not show weakness in front of Pei Shaojin.
Once they had finally disappeared from his sight, Han Cheng'an felt a sudden release of strength and knelt down on the ground.
Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth; this was a warning from the restriction Pei Shaojin had placed on him, a warning not to speak too much.
Han Cheng'an raised his hand to wipe the blood from his lips, his eyes icy cold.
Gu Fenglin, who had been hiding to the side and had witnessed Han Cheng'an's advances being rejected by Chu Yun, slowly walked out and came to Han Cheng'an's side.
Gu Fenglin reached out his hand to Han Chengan.
Han Cheng'an recognized the person who had come and gave a bitter smile.
"To see me make a fool of myself?"
Gu Fenglin curled his lips, "Giving up just like that?"
Han Cheng'an clenched his fist. "Chu Yun's heart is with him. I've lost, and you've lost too."
Gu Fenglin chuckled: "Is that so?"
His gaze shifted forward, landing on the corner where Chu Yun and Pei Shaojin's figures had disappeared. His eyes were unfocused and empty.
"They can get divorced even if they're married, let alone since they're only engaged. It's too early to talk about who wins and who loses."
"I won't let him win."
His tone was light and casual, but the coldness in his words sent chills down one's spine.
Han Cheng'an knew Gu Fenglin was always clever, so he frowned and asked, "Do you have a way to break them up?"
Gu Fenglin withdrew his gaze, looked down at Han Chengan, and stretched out his hand.
"Want to cooperate?"
"We'll join forces to get him out of the game."
Two hands clasped together, achieving a silent cooperation.
