After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

Chu Ling didn't move; a faint smile remained on his lips.

Xiao Ran removed her mask, but still dared not look up, afraid that the man in front of her was not Duan Li.

"Aran, it's me."

Chu Ling's voice was full of gentleness, an emotion she had never seen in Duan Li before.

She looked up.

My heart skipped a beat.

His familiar eyebrows and eyes had matured a bit, his nose seemed a little higher and straighter, he was thinner than before, and the childishness on his face had faded. He still had that indifferent expression, but the deep affection in his eyes betrayed him.

Xiao Ran didn't speak, but instead lowered her head.

Chu Ling chuckled softly.

"I heard that today's banquet is for Miss Xiao's marriage."

Xiao Ran's voice was muffled: "Um, so?"

"so……"

A strong hand wrapped around her from behind, forcing her into the arms of the man in front of her.

Chu Ling's heart was beating very fast.

The voice came from above:

"I think Miss Xiao is deliberately making enemies for me."

……

The banquet at the pear garden ended not long afterward.

Chu Ling and Xiao Mu were talking inside when Xiao Ran said she was tired and would go back to rest.

Yunfu and Duan Rong were waiting outside.

Yunfu was secretly delighted. She hadn't expected Young Master Chu to be so eloquent. She had always thought he was a man who didn't like to talk, but who knew that when he spoke sweet words, he outshone all the men who were pursuing Sister Xiao.

She glanced at Duan Rong furtively, thinking that she might need to learn from Young Master Chu in the future.

Unlike Yunfu.

Duan Rong's face darkened.

He never expected that this Young Master Chu would have designs on his Sister Ran, especially since he was hugging and cuddling her right in front of everyone!

It's really disgraceful!

He intended to complain, but little did he know that the general seemed to recognize that Young Master Chu! He mumbled something without offering any explanation, just like Sister Ran.

Duan Rong simply couldn't understand it.

No matter what, Duan Rong was the first person to know Young Master Chu, right?

"Sister Fu, what's going on with Young Master Chu? It seems like everyone knows him!"

Perhaps he hadn't calmed down yet, because his voice still carried a hint of anger.

Yunfu suddenly felt wronged.

"Brother Duan...you're so fierce."

Duan Rong scratched his head: "Sorry, I'm just a little confused about the situation..."

Yunfu gently shook her head and tugged at Duan Rong's sleeve: "Brother Duan, don't be in a hurry. Let's wait until they come out before asking, okay?"

Duan Rong nodded, and seeing the smile on Yun Fu's face, he immediately felt flustered.

A few days ago, Ran told him that Yunfu liked him. He didn't believe it at the time, but those words were like a seed that took root and sprouted in his heart. Once the thought came to him, he couldn't suppress it.

Yunfu asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Brother Duan? Your face is so red..."

"me……"

He stammered and couldn't even finish his sentence.

Yunfu tried to gently shake Duan Rong's sleeve, but he pulled her back forcefully.

Yunfu's eyes were moist.

Could it be that Brother Duan dislikes her?

"Don't cry, I didn't mean to!" Duan Rong tried to coax her for a long time, but Yun Fu still ignored him. Helpless, he had no choice but to hand her his sleeve again.

Duan Rong blushed, but her eyes darted elsewhere: "Go ahead and touch it, I won't pull it anymore."

Yun Fu burst out laughing. She grabbed Duan Rong's sleeve and gently wiped her eyes with it.

"Brother Duan, you're so kind! I like you the most!" Yun Fu smiled innocently, her face flushed, looking very cute.

Duan Rong was stunned for a moment.

He felt something creeping from his damp sleeve all the way to his heart.

It made his heart race.
