Chapter 257: Chapter 257
Yun Ran clearly felt the cold and resentful gaze behind her, without needing to turn around, she could imagine someone’s expression and eyes at that moment.
She was a bit puzzled.
[What did I do to provoke him?]
[Could it be that I bullied his old lover earlier, and now he’s hurting for her? Angry? Upset?]
[Or perhaps, seeing his old lover become someone else’s fiancée has soured his mood?!]
[Ha! That bastard! He says he doesn’t like her, but his actions betray him! Two-faced scoundrel!]
Is this what I was thinking?!
Am I unhappy because of this?!
What is that dead girl’s brain made of?!
In an instant, the man’s gaze towards Yun Ran grew even colder and darker.
[Why is the chill even heavier now? I wasn’t bullying your old lover!]
Old lover! Old lover! Old lover! Is that dead girl trying to drive me mad?!
[Hiss— There’s a hint of murderous intent now?! Does he plan to kill me to reunite with his old lover?!]
[That’s not just an old lover, more like a treasured darling little sweetheart!]
Nangong Mo: "...!!..."
Lin Yanran had been watching Yun Ran, deeply puzzled and slightly dissatisfied.
Is Lin Wanyue an idiot? Or blind?
Can’t she see the maids kneeling and loudly proclaiming Crown Princess Consort?
I’ve hinted so obviously, why hasn’t she come to pay her respects to me?!
Is she truly clueless or just pretending not to understand?
Lin Yanran signaled to a maid, who immediately understood and loudly said:
"Crown Princess Consort, you were startled by Princess Qin earlier and accidentally dropped the imperial decree. This is your decree to marry and become consort! Quickly let the servant check if it’s damaged?"
Of course, Yun Ran heard the maid’s words directed at her, with the deliberate emphasis on ’Crown Princess Consort’ and ’Princess Qin’ that even her dog could understand.
However, the cold gaze, resentful chill, and hint of murderous intent behind her grew more rampant!
She couldn’t ignore it even if she wanted to.
Yun Ran simply walked over and silently turned Nangong Mo’s wheelchair so he faced the wall.
Why make me face the wall?
Shouldn’t the one reflecting on their actions be you, the dead girl who doesn’t understand love?!
Thinking this, Nangong Mo turned the wheelchair himself, facing Yun Ran again, his gaze deep.
In the next moment, Yun Ran turned him back again.
Nangong Mo: I’ll turn again!
Yun Ran: [Is that so? We’ll see who wins!]
Nangong Mo: Ha! I’ll turn again!
Yun Ran: [Hmph~ Ready to play to the end!]
Lin Yanran stood nearby, watching the ’life-and-death struggle’ between the two, her face trying hard to maintain a graceful, decorous, virtuous and gentle appearance, but with noticeable cracks.
Especially her eyes, which occasionally shot out a few vicious gleams.
Lin Wanyue, that vixen! Only knows how to seduce and entice men, that little wretch!
In broad daylight, where everyone can see, pulling and tugging, flirting and teasing, what does it look like?
A jinx is a jinx! Lacking upbringing from a young age, unable to present herself, a shameless crude person!
He even accompanies her ... He wasn’t before clearly!
A strong, indescribable hatred surged in her heart, intertwined with bitterness, resentment, and jealousy, emotions were extremely complex! Lin Yanran clenched her hands tightly, repeatedly reminding herself:
He is now merely a cripple!
He’s lost his favor, hated by the Emperor, stripped of military power, languishing in the capital, with no chance at the throne.
He only has the title of Prince, but no actual power, fundamentally nothing!
Aside from his mesmerizing face, he has nothing left now!
And I, am now the Emperor’s appointed Crown Princess Consort, holding a noble status, and in the future, shall be the most esteemed woman in Tianchu, beneath one but above all others!
He, and she, everyone must crawl at my feet!
Lin Yanran spoke loudly, her coquettish voice carried a hint of gritted teeth.
"What are you doing? The Prince might want to bask in the sun, why do you keep turning him away?"
"Yanran knows the Prince dotes on you, but as a woman, you shouldn’t be spoiled and arrogant!"
Yun Ran turned to look at her, raising her eyebrows slightly, with a half-smile, "I’m turning him, not you, why are you excited? Spoiled and arrogant? Want a brick from me?"
Lin Yanran had witnessed her using a brick to knock someone out, instilling a fear that made her unconsciously step back.
Immediately, a maid shouted at Yun Ran, "Lin Wanyue! So presumptuous! How dare you be rude to the Crown Princess Consort and speak recklessly! You..."
However, before she could finish, a cold, domineering force blew her away, landing her in the nearby grass.
The maid crawled up, her face covered in dirt, with several grass blades in her mouth.
Angrily turning back, she faced Nangong Mo’s cold, icy face.
"My princess, is not someone you can comment on?"
The voice was like a wind blowing from a land of extreme cold, chilling to the bones.
The maid’s face turned pale, her body trembling uncontrollably, "Your Highness, Miss, save..."
Lin Yanran immediately stepped forward, blocking in front of the maid.
Not that she cared much about her maid, but rather, even a dog is protected by its owner! He treated her people like that... without caring for her dignity and feelings!
Lin Yanran suppressed the complex emotions surging in her heart, "Your Highness, if you indiscriminately harm people for your sister, won’t it adversely affect her reputation if spread?"
Nangong Mo coldly curved his lips, "You’re teaching me what to do?" The source of this content ɪs 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝘯𝘦𝘵
Lin Yanran looked at his face, her heart trembling, that alluringly handsome face, yet his expression was cold and indifferent like ten thousand feet of snowstorm, causing the body to tremble at the sight.
She turned her eyes slightly, "Your Highness misunderstood, Yanran just worries you’ll induldge your sister, letting her gain the reputation of ’spoiled and arrogant’."
"Who dares to curse? I’ll destroy their whole family."
The man’s voice was casual, even lazy, yet sent shocks through Lin Yanran’s heart, making her look at him sharply.
"My princess, does whatever she wants. I like her to be spoiled and arrogant."
Lin Yanran slightly opened her mouth, feeling like a bone was stuck in her throat, unable to speak.
For a moment, she couldn’t distinguish her emotions.
Jealous of her? Resentful of him? Feeling bitter and unwilling for herself?
Already the Crown Princess Consort, yet can’t stand him liking another woman! Being good to another woman! Especially if that woman is Lin Wanyue!
Yun Ran, as if watching a show, stood by, looking at Nangong Mo, then at Lin Yanran, her eyes slightly moving, full of interest.
