Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty Who Was Short-Lived and Alluring

thump—

thump—

thump—

Hearing the knock on the door, Chu Yun put away the microphone she was fiddling with and placed it next to the chair.

"Please come in."

Thinking it was Pei Shaojin returning, Chu Yun couldn't help but smile and turn around to look.

"Shaojin..."

Gu Fenglin's face came into view, and Chu Yun's smile faltered slightly.

"Senior? What brings you here?"

The beauty was like a painting; even a surprised frown was enough to amaze people. Gu Fenglin knew that Chu Yun was beautiful, but he rarely saw her so meticulously made up, with her lips and eyebrows drawn.

Unlike her usual appearance without makeup, she was like a lotus emerging from the water, pure and beautiful.

After applying makeup, Chu Yun's eyebrows and eyes lost their youthful immaturity, giving people a completely different feeling. She transformed from a budding lotus into a blooming lotus, a garden full of spring colors.

Such a vibrant color caused Gu Fenglin to be momentarily dazed.

"Senior?" Chu Yun called out again.

Gu Fenglin then realized what was happening, a dark glint flashing in his eyes. He stood at the doorway, not moving forward. "Surprised to see me?"

Chu Yun came to her senses. "No, I thought..."

"I thought it was Shaojin who came back," Gu Fenglin asked in return.

Chu Yun lowered her head shyly, a blush creeping onto her face.

"May I come in?" Gu Fenglin asked, his eyes flashing slightly.

“Of course,” Chu Yun replied hastily.

Gu Fenglin smiled, took a step, and walked slowly but firmly toward Chu Yun.

His eyes were deep and he stared intently at Chu Yun, his gaze filled with emotions that Chu Yun could not understand.

The closer Gu Fenglin got, the more he was captivated by Chu Yun's beauty.

Even though they were so close, he couldn't have Chu Yun.

Even the fact that he could see such a beautiful side of Chu Yun was thanks to Pei Shaojin.

This realization drove Gu Fenglin to the brink of madness.

Chu Yun's obvious disappointed and surprised expression was constantly stimulating Gu Fenglin's nerves.

The more pain he felt in his heart, the clearer Gu Fenglin's mind became, and he walked forward step by step.

Chu Yun wanted to stand up to greet him, but Gu Fenglin waved his hand to stop her, saying, "Sit down."

The skirt was too big and too long, making it inconvenient to stand up. Upon hearing this, Chu Yun did not insist on standing up and sat back down.

As soon as he sat down, Gu Fenglin quickened his pace and rushed to Chu Yun's side.

"You're engaged, aren't you happy?"

Chu Yun thought Gu Fenglin was teasing her, and her face turned bright red with embarrassment.

Although she didn't say anything, everyone could see her joy.

Gu Fenglin curled his lips into a smile, his eyes utterly indifferent.

"You haven't been with Shaojin for very long, do you really understand him?"

This sounded strange no matter how you looked at it, so Chu Yun frowned and looked at Gu Fenglin.

"Don't misunderstand, I just want you to understand Shaojin better." Gu Fenglin looked innocent and found a chair to sit down.

Before Chu Yun could answer, Gu Fenglin continued, "Shaojin and I met when we were five years old..."

Gu Fenglin spoke at length, recounting everything that had happened between him and Pei Shaojin.

It sounds like they're just chatting with Chu Yun to help her get to know her fiancé better.

However, Gu Fenglin's frequent glances at his watch betrayed his thoughts.

He has been stalling!

The goal was to wait for Han Cheng'an to return. Although he had already broken through the restrictions, revealing the bet would only be a bad strategy that would hurt the enemy a thousand while harming oneself eight hundred.

Gu Fenglin would not use it unless absolutely necessary.

Gu Fenglin was waiting for the military report and records in Han Chengan's hands.

He had long suspected that Pei Shaojin was not the one who saved Chu Yun on Liujin Star, so he had been sending people to investigate secretly.

As expected, it was discovered that although Pei Shaojin participated in the rescue of Liujinxing, he only appeared on the first day. After the news of his rescue of Liujinxing spread, he left.

Chu Yun was not found until seven days after the ground collapsed.

How could Pei Shaojin be the one who saved Chu Yun!

The rescue team was wiped out in a later battle, and the person who actually saved Chu Yun was already dead!

Pei Shaojin took advantage of a loophole to fraudulently claim the favor.

Although Pei Shaojin had someone destroy the evidence that would expose him, heaven rewards those who persevere, and the Lord of Chiyuan Star still had records of his interactions with Pei Shaojin.

The document clearly states that Pei Shaojin secretly came to Chiyuan Star on the second day of the rescue to discuss matters with him.

Although Lord Chiyuan Star was Pei Shaojin's maternal grandfather and wholeheartedly helped him plot for the highest position, he was not entirely without suspicion of Pei Shaojin.

This record was his means of self-protection and also evidence of his support for Pei Shaojin.

Now it has become Gu Fenglin's weapon to attack Pei Shaojin.

The bet would damage Chu Yun's trust in Pei Shaojin and would also affect Gu Fenglin and Han Cheng'an, but the act of claiming favors was only directed at Pei Shaojin.

If Chu Yun remains obstinate and insists on being with Pei Shaojin even after learning the truth about the life-saving incident, Gu Fenglin will then reveal the truth about the bet.

As time ticked by, Gu Fenglin grew increasingly impatient.

"Senior, it's almost time. I should go now. Let's talk again after the ceremony," Chu Yun said at the right moment.

"There's still an hour left, are you in such a hurry?" Gu Fenglin's expression stiffened slightly.

"Shaojin is busy greeting guests downstairs. I can't just do nothing. Besides, he has a bit of an upset stomach and will feel unwell if he drinks too much. I want to go see him."

Chu Yun subtly provoked Gu Fenglin.

Sure enough, Gu Fenglin's expression darkened upon hearing this, and a shadow slowly gathered in his eyes.

"Senior, you rest well here, I'll be going now." Chu Yun smiled gently, her face full of sweet joy at the prospect of seeing her lover.

Chu Yun's smile stung Gu Fenglin's eyes. The pent-up frustration he had been suppressing was released like a flood, engulfing the reason that Gu Fenglin had been holding back.

He disregarded the many consequences, knowing only that he had to break up Chu Yun and Pei Shaojin.

Every second he saw Chu Yun and Pei Shaojin together was torture for him.

Gu Fenglin only asked Han Cheng'an to retrieve the items, but did not tell Han Cheng'an about his backup plan.

Revealing the bet was originally a last resort, but Han Cheng'an hasn't returned yet, and Chu Yun's heart is full of Pei Shaojin.

Gu Fenglin didn't want to wait any longer.

If he is destined not to have Chu Yun, then no one else should have her.

As her thoughts raced, Chu Yun stood up, ready to leave.

Gu Fenglin also stood up and grabbed Chu Yun's arm.

"Pei Shaojin has been lying to you all along. He's not your savior at all! The person who saved you on Liujin Star wasn't him at all!"

Chu Yun was shocked. "What are you talking about?"

"It's okay if you don't believe me, there will be evidence."

"Now I'll tell you something else. The reason your fiancé, Pei Shaojin, approached you was only because of a bet he made with me and Han Chengan."

"He approached you only to win your heart and then dump you. What do you think you'll face after today's ceremony? Abandonment. He'll abandon you in front of everyone!"

"Chu Yun, I don't want you to keep being deceived by him."

"Don't go down, you can't afford the consequences."

Gu Fenglin's words were half true and half false, and he tried his best to destroy Pei Shaojin's image in Chu Yun's mind.
