Phoenix Cries Across the World: The Cold-Hearted Princess is Too Alluring

Upon arriving in the backyard, Chu Yinnan couldn't wait to ask Chu Yingge a question, but before she could speak, Chu Yingge stopped her.

"We haven't seen each other for three years. Even if you want to ask something, you should sit down and talk it out properly. It's not good to be so impatient!"

"I'm just worried about you." Chu Yinnan sighed silently. After three years, his little sister had indeed changed a bit.

He pulled Chu Yinnan to sit down under the pear tree, picked up the teapot on the stone table, poured a cup of tea, and pushed it in front of Chu Yinnan.

"Brother, have some tea."

Chu Yinnan didn't say much. He took the teacup that Chu Yingge pushed towards him and drank it all in one gulp. After putting down the teacup, the doubt in his eyes deepened.

"Now that we've had the tea, shouldn't we get down to business?"

"What important matter?" Chu Yingge pretended not to understand.

Chu Yinnan's tone was helpless. Although he had only been back for a short time, he could already sense that the person in front of him was very different from the sister in his memory.

Why did you confess? Was someone forcing you?

"No."

"Why is that?" Chu Yinnan pressed.

Leaning back, Chu Yingge squinted at Chu Yinnan for a long time before finally deciding to tell him everything.

This is a completely unfamiliar era for her. Without anyone to help her, it would be extremely difficult for her to survive. Although what happened today has been resolved, Chu Yanran and her mother will not let it go so easily.

What's more, there's now another Chu Moran.

Being all alone, she couldn't gain anything from it.

Judging from what just happened, Chu Yinnan is genuinely kind to her younger sister, so why should she keep him at arm's length?

"I'm sure you've already heard about my marriage to the Seventh Prince."

"I've heard about it, but what does it have to do with what happened to you today?" Chu Yinnan frowned, her eyes clearly filled with doubt and confusion.

After a long pause, Chu Yingge finally spoke: "Because I don't want to get married, that's why I resorted to this desperate measure."

"What?" Chu Yinnan was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was going on: "You're just being ridiculous! Do you know that plotting against your mother is punishable by immediate execution? No matter how much you don't want to get married, you can't joke around with your own life!"

"I'm not joking. I had already thought of a way to escape, but your sudden appearance disrupted my plans." Chu Yingge seemed to regret changing her original plans because of Chu Yinnan.

After Chu Yingge said that, Chu Yinnan's probing gaze deepened even more as she stared intently at the person in front of her, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

"who are you?"

Chu Yinnan wasn't stupid. Apart from having the same face, the person in front of him and his little sister didn't resemble each other at all.

Their personalities, temperaments, and even the way they speak are completely different.

Perhaps having anticipated that Chu Yinnan would ask this question, Chu Yingge wasn't too surprised. When she met Chu Yinnan, she had already thought about how to answer it.

"I know you're surprised by how I've changed, but so much has happened in these past three years that I don't want to think about it anymore. Please, brother, don't force me."

When Chu Yingge said this, her eyes were still glistening with tears. She really looked like she had been wronged. When Chu Yinnan saw this, she naturally thought of something.

He and his sister were extremely unpopular in the Prime Minister's mansion. Although they were young masters and ladies, they lived worse lives than maids and servants. It was only natural that his sister's personality changed drastically.

Chu Yingge took out a jade pendant from her bosom, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of her.

"This is my personal belonging. As long as I'm here, I will never let you suffer any more grievances."

"Thank you, brother." Chu Yingge put away the jade pendant and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. As a top assassin, she didn't need to be taught how to act; she was born with it.

After all, as an assassin, one must always lurk in the darkness, and when one occasionally appears in the light, one is always wearing a different cloak. Her cloak is that of a glamorous Golden Horse Award-winning actress.

Chu Yinnan felt relieved after seeing Chu Yingge accept the jade pendant, but suddenly, she thought of something else.

"By the way, you just said you don't want to get married, why is that?"

"I've never even met the Seventh Prince. If I marry him so hastily, won't I be ruining the rest of my life?"

"But you've already reached the age of marriage. Even if you don't marry the Seventh Prince, you'll still marry someone else!"

If Chu Yinnan hadn't mentioned it, Chu Yingge would have truly forgotten about it. As a woman, according to the feudal concepts of ancient times, she was bound to get married. Even if she didn't marry the Seventh Prince, someone else would still want to marry her.

In that case, she really needs to think of a solution that will solve the problem once and for all.

Moreover, given the current situation, Chu Yanran and her mother will certainly not let her off easily. If she continues to stay in the Prime Minister's residence, who knows what other trouble she might cause?

Now, with Chu Moran added to the mix, dealing with him is proving quite difficult for her.

Fortunately, she had Chu Yinnan by her side.

Thinking about this, Chu Yingge actually came up with a plan that would solve the problem once and for all, but she still needed to verify it.

"Brother, you've asked me so many questions, I also have some questions to ask you."

"What's the problem?" Chu Yinnan picked up her teacup and took a sip.

Chu Yingge got up from the rocking chair, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then approached Chu Yinnan, saying slowly and deliberately, "Brother's abilities are no less than Chu Moran's, so why should you submit to someone else?"

"nonsense!"

Chu Yinnan quickly covered Chu Yingge's mouth, looked around to make sure no one had heard, and then slowly let go.

"How could you say such a thing? My eldest brother is the eldest son in the family, he should..."

"Stop spouting your high-sounding principles!" Chu Yingge said impatiently, pursing her lips. "You treat him like an older brother, but when has he ever treated you like a younger brother?"

"That being said, we should still keep to our own business..."

"If I had just stayed put, I would have been dead long ago!"

Chu Yingge interrupted Chu Yinnan, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. This brother was good, but his thinking was a bit outdated. It seemed that she needed to give this brother a brainwashing.

"Do you know what I've been through these past three years? Chu Yanran and her daughter almost killed me. The only reason I survived was for my brother. And now, you're actually taking their side. I'm so disappointed in you!"

“Songs…”

Seeing her younger sister like this, Chu Yinnan felt bad too. She lowered her head, her hesitation evident in her eyes.

He knew, of course, that Chu Moran had never considered him a brother, but since they were both members of the Chu family, he simply wanted to leave room for maneuver.
