Not following the expected path? Reborn and unexpectedly married to a demon.

Hu Li rose, cupped his hands in respect, and expressed his deep admiration.

He was investigating people, but he didn't find anything about Chu Luo; instead, she figured out his thoughts.

“What the young mistress says is true, I admire her, but how did she come to know that?”

He never told anyone about this idea.

"Are you going to interrogate me again?" Chu Luo asked with a smile.

Hu Li quickly shook his head. "That's not the question. I truly admire you. Your investigative methods are superior to mine. I investigate people, but you can investigate their hearts."

Chu Luo looked at him with utmost seriousness and said, "I have no designs on the Jin family or the Canal Gang, and I also want to know why the Jin family chose me."

Hu Li could tell that she was being very honest in her words.

If Hu Li hadn't been so aggressive today, she wouldn't have said so much to him.

Fox Li: "I believe what you say, but how did you know that..."

Chu Luo didn't keep him in suspense and answered his question directly:

"That day when I spoke of Lin Liangkun, I happened to see the disdain on your face, sir."

"Furthermore, I noticed the immediate change in your gaze towards me, and your subsequent hesitation to speak."

"When we meet again today, your words and actions are respectful, but your eyes are still the same as they were that day."

Hu Li sighed, surprised that Chu Luo was so observant of people.

At the time, he thought that Chu Luo's attention was focused on the young master, so she hadn't managed her emotions well.

He was convinced and respectfully apologized to Chu Luo.

Chu Luo said, "Mr. Hu Li, prejudice can blind one to the truth. You are someone who collects and investigates information; you should understand this better than I do."

"I know it was my fault, but Lin Liangkun is really not a talented or virtuous person when it comes to music theory, composition, and lyrics."

Chu Luo, unaware of the nature of their conflict, offered her opinion:

"Mr. Hu Li, I am not aware of the matters between you and will not comment."

"But I won't let what others say influence my judgment."

"Before I decided to befriend Lin Liangkun, I had read all of his musical scores."

I don't think he's as useless and talentless as others say.

"On the contrary, I believe he will definitely gain more recognition in the future."

Hu Li didn't find out any information this time, but he did learn a lesson.

Of course, this eliminated any prejudice or defensiveness towards Chu Luo.

No matter what kind of person Lin Liangkun is, it doesn't affect what kind of person the young mistress is.

On the contrary, because of Chu Luo's affirmation of Lin Liangkun, he began to doubt his own judgment.

He finally understood why the young master had told him to stop investigating.

Chu Luo is someone you treat with utmost respect; she'll treat you with even greater respect in return.

If you don't harm her, she won't harm you.

If she intends to harm you, there's no way to prevent it.

If they have no intention of harming you, there's no need to be wary.

She has no designs on the Jin family's gang, so there's no need to be wary of her.

Hu Li took his leave, but Shan Xiaoyan returned again because he had received a new message.

Chu Luo was still drinking tea in the pavilion.

He stepped forward and said, "Young Madam, you are truly amazing. You've convinced our Boss Fox completely. In a few more days, you will surely become the only one in the young master's heart."

Chu Luo sensed something amiss in his words: "Are you spouting nonsense? Does Hu Li know that?"

Shan Xiaoyan immediately begged for forgiveness, "Young Madam, I was wrong, please don't tell Boss Fox!"

"If you don't want me to talk about it, you'd better explain yourself clearly."

Shan Xiaoyan said, "Even before the young master got married, he had someone in his heart, but for some reason, she left. The young master is still having Boss Fox look for her."

"Any clues?" Chu Luo asked.

Shan Xiaoyan shook her head. "No, I suspect that person is no longer alive."

"Okay, I understand," Chu Luo nodded, her expression unchanged.

Shan Xiaoyan didn't know if she was genuinely indifferent or just pretending.

Chu Luo realized that she had just told Hu Li that facial expressions could betray a person, and he probably hadn't been listening properly.

If you care, why do you have to show it?

"Don't you want to leave yet?" Chu Luo asked him with a smile.

Looking at this stunningly beautiful woman, Shan Xiaoyan felt that the smile on her face was genuine.

She seems to be generous with her smiles to everyone.

Her approachability can make people temporarily overlook her captivating beauty.

Her beauty was so comforting, making you feel like you could reach it with just a little more effort.

She seemed to have a very good temper, was also very gentle, and was easygoing.

Shan Xiaoyan respectfully took his leave.

After he left, Chu Luo waited for Jin Wuchen and wondered what kind of person he was that Jin Wuchen couldn't forget.

She was very curious about what kind of person would catch his eye.

Could she also be a wonderful person, like Dongfang Mingyue, or some other different girl?

"What are you thinking about?" Jin Wuchen asked, seeing her lost in thought in the pavilion with a smile on her face.

Chu Luo looked up when she heard the voice. "You're back!"

"Yes, this is a local specialty I brought for you."

Jin Wuchen placed the things he was carrying on the table.

Chu Luo looked at the pottery flute and pastries without saying a word; these were all local specialties from the banks of the Mianjiang River.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Jin Wuchen asked.

He had already tasted it and specially selected her favorite flavor. He opened the box and took out the food.

"Try it," Jin Wuchen said, feeding it to Chu Luo's mouth.

Chu Luo opened her mouth and bit down, and she saw Jin Wuchen's injured wrist once again.

"Is it delicious?" Jin Wuchen asked expectantly.

Chu Luo nodded, "It's delicious, I like it very much."

Jin Wuchen fed Chu Luo a little of everything, and Chu Luo liked most of them.

Jin Wuchen felt a sense of accomplishment and reached out to touch Chu Luo's soft, fair face.

Chu Luo wondered if the little animals he kept were like this, pampered and spoiled.

"Why have you been looking at me all day? Haven't seen me for a few days, have you missed me?"

Jin Wuchen gently rubbed her chin, kissing her tenderly.

His gentle and doting nature is so captivating that it's easy to fall for him.

Chu Luo really didn't want to believe that Shao Sheng was the one who did that.

He glanced at the distinctive pottery flute from the Mianjiang River on the table, then remained silent.

She simply stood in front of him, her head slightly bowed.

Her long, slender arms wrapped around his neck.

Wuwei leaned down and took the initiative to kiss Jin Wuchen's lips.

Chu Luo's kiss was awkward yet full of emotion, as if she was venting something.

Jin Wuchen was only stunned for a moment before his hands involuntarily climbed onto her slender waist and back.

Before they knew it, they were locked in a passionate kiss.

It's hard to say who is more proactive and domineering.

Jin Wuchen pushed aside the things on the table with one hand and gently placed Chu Luo on the stone table.

He pressed his upper body against Chu Luo, completely taking control.

The cool stone slab brought Chu Luo back to her senses.

He propped himself up with his hands and asked Chu Luo, "Are you in a bad mood because of me?"

Chu Luo looked at him and asked, "Where have you been these past few days?"

In the past, when he went out on business, Chu Luo never asked him where he was going.

Even if you ask, he won't tell you.

Jin Wuchen wondered what was different about this time compared to the past.

This time, Jin Wuchen answered her truthfully, saying "South Bank of Mianjiang".

"What are you doing?" Chu Luo continued to ask.

Jin Wuchen was taken aback and did not answer. She had never interfered in the affairs of the Grand Canal Gang before.

She asked nervously, "Is it related to Shao Sheng Fei Hong?"

She hoped he would answer no.

But he didn't say anything.

"You went to kill him, didn't you? You promised me, have you forgotten?"

Chu Luo couldn't help but ask the question again.

Looking at Chu Luo's expression, Jin Wuchen roughly understood what was going on.

It seems she wasn't actually asking, but rather already certain that she mistakenly believed he went there to kill Fei Hong.

She still didn't believe him; everything she had just done was just a pretense.

Jin Wuchen felt a pang of pain in his heart.

"So, you kissed me because of him, is that right?"

"What else would you do for him? Sacrifice yourself?"
