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

Chu Luo's trip to Lantai Xiaoyuan didn't cause much of a stir for Jin Wuchen.

But it alarmed the old gang leader.

When he heard that Jin Wuchen was going to give Lantai Xiaoyuan to Chu Luo, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"That bastard! He promised to take good care of Chu Luo last time, and now he's sent her to that kind of place. To get rid of the person I picked, he's even thinking of giving that male-male brothel to Chu Luo."

"Please calm down, the young mistress didn't want it either," the subordinate advised.

"He's humiliating me. Chu Luo is such a good girl, she deserves someone much better. You have someone arrange that for me. If he's blind and doesn't want her, someone else will."

The subordinate asked, "According to the news we've received, Young Master Fei and Miss Chu are getting along very well. Why go to such lengths when Young Master Fei is doing just fine too?"

The old gang leader replied, "He's a good man, but unfortunately, Chu Luo can't be with him. Have someone arrange it."

His subordinates were puzzled as to what the old gang leader meant by "it's a pity it's not good enough," but they didn't dare to ask any more questions and could only go down to make arrangements.

A few days later, under the instructions of the old gang leader, Steward Sun invited a Madam Yan to the Jin family.

Madam Yan was polite, had an exceptional temperament, a gentle and measured temper, and was full of confidence.

Chu Luo was filled with admiration and would often ask him for advice.

One of Madam Yan's purposes in coming here was to teach her some etiquette, but seeing that she was so diligent and inquisitive, she didn't explain her purpose.

"Little Chu, look at yourself in the mirror. Bright eyes, white teeth, fair skin, and beautiful face—aren't you gorgeous?"

Chu Luo rarely looked at herself, but at this moment, she listened to Madam Yan and looked up to examine herself carefully in the mirror.

Chu Luo saw only a pale reflection of herself. "Madam Yan, all I see is an empty shell, lifeless and devoid of spirit."

Madam Yan laughed. "Yes, it's still lacking in spirit. Do you know where it's lacking?"

Chu Luo shook her head, puzzled. "Is that important?"

In her past life, before she learned to disguise herself, she was subjected to disgusting stares and treatment from men because of her appearance.

During those years, her mother would often say that everything she suffered was because her appearance brought her trouble.

This made her always treat her appearance carelessly.

When she was not in a position to be rude, she would lower her head slightly when speaking to others.

"It's important that a girl's most beautiful feature isn't delicate features or a graceful figure, but rather the confidence she exudes, which you lack."

Madam Yan couldn't understand how someone so beautiful could lack confidence.

If she had such looks, she would go to those crowded banquets every few days, doing whatever it takes to be as beautiful and dazzling as possible.

Chu Luo had never really understood her own appearance. "Madam Yan, is beauty really that important? Won't it bring trouble?"

Madam Yan shook her head. "There are all kinds of people in this world. Everyone can eat, sleep, and live. Whether you are beautiful or ugly, the important thing is to accept yourself, cherish the present moment, and live life to the fullest."

Chu Luo seemed to understand but not quite. "Then what should I do?"

"Chu girl, lift your head, look at your face, accept your beauty. We do things openly and honestly, and beauty can be openly and honestly displayed too."

Chu Luo raised her head, looking in the mirror for the feeling that Madam Yan had described.

For two or three days in a row, she was unable to achieve the state that Madam Yan had described. Madam Yan told her to figure it out on her own and went to prepare for the banquet.

Chu Luo sat alone in front of the bronze mirror, looking at herself in the mirror, as if she were still a stranger.

She was lost in thought and didn't even notice that Jin Wuchen was standing behind her.

"looking at what?"

Jin Wuchen, unaware of what she was looking at, leaned closer to her and asked while looking in the mirror.

Chu Luo was startled by his sudden action and instinctively turned her head toward the source of the sound.

Without warning, their noses touched lightly in a flash.

The moment they touched, both of them were momentarily stunned, frozen in place, as if time itself had stopped.

Their intertwined breathing both slowed and became heavier.

You could hear a pin drop in the room.

In the sunlight, Chu Luo's long eyelashes were clearly visible, each one casting a shadow of light.

Her fair and radiant skin gradually turned a rosy pink.

Her lips, slightly parted in fright, were luscious and tempting, like a ripe cherry, exuding an extremely alluring fragrance.

It's so tempting, it makes you want to kiss it and taste it without hesitation.

Jin Wuchen followed his heart and gently and tenderly covered her red lips with his own.

Chu Luo felt a shiver run through her body, and her hands involuntarily gripped her dress tightly.

Jin Wuchen gently kissed her lips, tenderly and lingeringly, gradually deepening the passion, making her fall into a state of bliss.

At the moment when she couldn't breathe, Chu Luo's will to live brought her back to her senses.

She gently stepped back, and Jin Wuchen was prevented from continuing his plan by the slightest movement.

Chu Luo's heart pounded like a drum, and her face and ears burned red.

She looked at herself in the mirror; her face was as red as a ripe peach…

She instinctively reached out and covered her face, keeping a distance from Jin Wuchen.

Still wanting more, Jin Wuchen was drawn to Chu Luo's shy demeanor. He leaned close to Chu Luo's ear and whispered something:

"Seeing how calm and composed you were in the Lantai Xiao Courtyard, I thought you wouldn't be shy. Now it seems I didn't know you well enough."

His breath hit Chu Luo's ears, and every word he spoke struck her heart and soul, like a demon bewitching her.

Chu Luo was so ashamed that she couldn't say anything. She just hoped that Jin Wuchen would leave quickly, but he showed no intention of leaving at all.

"Oh dear, you'd better hurry up and go!"

Chu Luo couldn't help but speak up, begging him to leave quickly.

Jin Wuchen's eyes and brows were full of smiles; how could he bear to leave at this moment? "Why are you covering such a handsome face?"

"She must look horribly ugly now."

Chu Luo felt that she must look terrible in front of others right now.

She was reborn several times, but never lived to be twenty, so she didn't know that much.

In addition, she had never encountered someone as flamboyant and unrestrained as Jin Wuchen before.

Jin Wuchen was meticulous and far more mature and unrestrained than she was.

He also sensed that Madam Yan lacked confidence.

Chu Luo was beautiful but unaware of it, or rather, she was afraid of her beauty.

He gently removed Chu Luo's hand from her face and led her to look in the mirror.

He traced the features of the person in the mirror with his hand and softly said, "Look, every part of you in the mirror is absolutely beautiful, beautiful to the core of one's dreams."

Chu Luo's shyness at this moment did not embarrass her.

This blush only added a touch of allure to her eyes and brows, making her incredibly beautiful.

Chu Luo looked at herself in the mirror and was amazed by her own beauty.

Jin Wuchen looked earnestly into her eyes and said, "With me here, you can live boldly and be beautiful as you please, without fear of being coveted."

Chu Luo was stunned; no one had ever said such a thing to her before.

"Young Madam, you should change your clothes now. We can leave once you're dressed."

Xingzhu rushed over, her voice preceding her arrival, breaking the intimacy between the two.

Seeing the two of them standing so close, Xingzhu felt for the first time that she was out of place.
