I am born a beauty, and I am supreme

Chapter 92

I felt a sense of frustration deep down.

It appeared out of nowhere.

This is not good; we must stop it.

Although he was really looking forward to seeing how this drama would end.

These two are quite interesting.

The people in the net are him and her, one naive and the other impulsive, one dull and the other fiery. Both are clueless about romance, but what will be the outcome of their entanglement?

Chu Zhen is not like Brother Si. He is not as shrewd and resourceful as that man, who is also adept at understanding romance and guessing what others are thinking, thus keeping Yu Dai completely under his thumb.

Chu Zhen has always been an unripe fruit, from fourteen years ago until now.

Even he and Nuo knew to move forward, while Chu Zhen always stood still.

Although it is said that love knows no bounds, he and Nuo often sighed in secret for him, lamenting that he had lived a life of integrity and loyalty, but for whom did he benefit?

It's really time to loosen restrictions.

but……

Leyan appears intelligent, but in reality, she is still a precious gem waiting to be polished, or a diamond.

It's either dazzling or reduced to dust; there's no middle ground. Better to remain intact than to crumble. Whether it takes shape or crumbles, until the very end, remains uncertain.

She possesses Yu's stubbornness and quirky charm, as well as Si's pride and unwavering affection; however, she still lacks experience.

Such a person is dangerous.

If used well, its future is limitless. If used poorly, this capital city of Shun will likely face another period of turmoil and uncertainty.

Although the scene of the change of imperial power long ago has long been a taboo subject and cannot be mentioned, no one can forget it.

Chu Zhen will never forget it. Back then, he was a helpless bystander. Hopefully, in this lifetime, he will never have the chance to become a participant again.

In addition, Le Yan's identity is so special.

Royal blood flows in her veins.

Tang Shaosi was able to do such an extreme thing that day, and she, the student, has surpassed her teacher...

All romantic notions faded away; Ah-Xin felt only fear.

"What are you thinking about?" Le Yan laughed, teasingly. "I just pressed your pressure points, you weren't really scared, were you, Uncle Xin?"

He deliberately drew out the last word, adding a teasing tone. "Ahem, ahem," Xue Xin said, regaining his composure.

"Hey, don't pretend to be sick. I didn't hurt you anywhere else. Don't try to get away with it," Le Yan accused seriously.

"Leyan!" Chu Zhen bent down and helped Xue Xin up by the shoulders: "Xin, are you feeling unwell?"

"No, no." Xue Xin shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Even if there is something, I'll have to wait until this girl leaves before I say it, otherwise, she'll eat me alive." He looked at Chu Zhen again, seemingly unsure of what was really going on.

Le Yan raised her eyebrows: "Hey! You can't repay kindness with enmity."

Xue Xin looked at her and smiled slightly.

Le Yan met his eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.

Why does this person's eyes carry a hint of sadness?

For a moment, I felt a little uneasy.

Chu Zhen looked at Xue Xin's expression and understood the implication behind his words.

She immediately turned back and said, "Leyan, I still have something to say to Axin."

"Yes, Uncle Zhen, I'll go out first." Le Yan paused for a moment, then replied.

"Go ahead," Chu Zhen nodded.

Leyan turned and walked out.

"Wait," Chu Zhen called out again.

Le Yan stopped: "What?"

"Hmm... don't cause trouble," Chu Zhen added.

"Okay." She smiled and gracefully left.

"There's something I want to ask you seriously." Hearing the footsteps fade into the distance, Xue Xin sighed.

Seeing his solemn expression, Chu Zhen sat down as well: "What is it? You look..."

“Ah Zhen,” he frowned, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Chu Zhen looked at his old friend. From their ignorant and impulsive teenage years to now, although they had been separated for more than ten years, they were still as close as they were back then. Arno was right. If it weren't for that person, they probably wouldn't be so harmonious. Back then, if that person hadn't suddenly appeared, or like all the wealthy and powerful families, he, Xue Xin, and Xue Nuo would probably have embarked on a path of fighting to the death and hurting each other.

Thanks to her, they have remained as close as ever for over a decade, though they don't talk much, their hearts are always in sync.

It turns out, I can't blame her.

"Just say what you have to say. Hmm, Arno just came by and said he was leaving Shundu. Could it be... you're leaving too?"

Chu Zhen smiled.

"No." Xue Xin clenched his fist, then relaxed it. "Really, I want to ask you, what is your true feeling about Le Yan?"

"Huh?" Chu Zhen was stunned.

I never expected him to ask that question.

"Zhen, you need to think this through before you answer me."

"Why...why do you ask that?"

"Because it is crucial."

"Is that so..."

"yes."

In the silence, they both seemed to be deep in thought. Finally, Chu Zhen said, "About Le Yan... actually..."

The leaves fall gently, drifting down before my eyes—a very leisurely scene.

Except for the tips of the fallen leaves, which are not traces of natural shedding, but rather marks as if they were cut straight down with a knife.

What is it that forces the fallen leaves to be cut off and fall from the branches?

A dozen meters from the office of the military commander, a young man in red leaned lazily against the wall, looking up at the large tree in the courtyard.

A faint killing intent emanated from his body, and another leaf drifted down from the branch.

"Damn it..." he thought to himself.

His expression, however, became even colder.

"You even use such a simplistic smokescreen? Do you really think everyone in the Military Affairs Office is dead?" he said in a low voice.

It also prevented her from concentrating on eavesdropping.

Her eyes were bright as she looked up at the tree.

The tree branch was clearly empty, yet it suddenly trembled.

Le Yan snorted coldly and flicked her sleeve. She was about to make a move.

Only the sound of light footsteps could be heard coming down the corridor.

Le Yan turned her head casually to look, and the murderous aura around her faded.

With a twitch of the branch, the hidden assassin who was originally above vanished without a trace in an instant.

"They ran really fast," Le Yan scoffed. "But next time, I'm afraid there won't be such a good opportunity." Just as she was feeling displeased, a sweet and melodious voice rang in her ears: "Guard Le, this concubine greets you."

Leyan turned around.

He met Luo Ling's slowly raised eyes.

Behind Luo Ling followed two servants and two maids.

The servants carried food boxes, while the maids held two covered trays.

Le Yan glanced at her briefly, then her gaze fell on Luo Ling.

To be fair, this female official was quite attractive.

What's rare is her calm and serene demeanor.

I didn't like her at first, but I couldn't bring myself to be hostile towards her.

No wonder she stood out among all the beauties and remained in the central hall, attracting everyone's favor.

"Hello, Lady-in-waiting." Le Yan nodded, offering a casual greeting. "What are you up to, Lady-in-waiting?"

Luo Ling smiled: "It's to send some snacks and fruits to the adults."

"Oh, sister is so thoughtful." Le Yan glanced at it.

"Thank you for the compliment, Guard Yue. I am truly honored." She nodded slightly.

“But don’t go in now. As far as I know, the envoy from the Northern Frontier is having a private meeting with the lord,” Le Yan said, with a hint of schadenfreude.

But deep down, I thought: I was so close to hearing those words.

These people appeared one after another, which was quite unfortunate, but it doesn't matter. She'll find out about them sooner or later.

Besides, what is she afraid of?

Whatever the answer may be, her heart remains unchanged.

A faint, cold laugh.

Luo Ling was taken aback: "Oh. I see..."

His face betrayed neither disappointment nor anything else, only slight surprise.

Le Yan's eyes darted around, and she immediately smiled and said, "If you're impatient to wait, sister, just leave the things here. I'll deliver them to you after the adults finish their talk."

Luo Ling's gaze fell on her face.

The two looked at each other silently for a moment, and Luo Ling slowly nodded: "In that case, I will have to trouble Guard Le."

Her reaction surprised Le Yan. Seeing this, she could only force a smile and say, "No trouble at all, no trouble at all. At least I have something to eat."
