I am born a beauty, and I am supreme - Chapter 190
The horse galloped forward.
Chu Gexing narrowed his eyes slightly to shield himself from the wind and snow, but his sharp gaze was fixed straight ahead. Where the snowflakes were thicker and denser, the wind was strong and the clouds were low. Parting the layers of floating clouds, one could see a proud peak, towering into the clouds, appearing and disappearing.
Tang Leyan opened her eyes.
Suppressing a groan that escaped from the corner of her mouth, she saw a pair of eyes staring coldly at her.
"Who are you?" she asked.
The man didn't answer. He leaped forward, and a gust of wind blew open the robe covering her face. She tilted her head and saw jagged boulders beside the road, covered in snow. This road... She frowned, but the man reached out and pulled the robe back up to cover her face.
"This is the way back to Tianmiao Peak. Who are you?" Her muffled voice came from inside the veiled robe.
"Don't say anything more. It's not too late to talk when the interrogation hall asks you questions." The man's cold voice reached my ears.
"Hmm...okay..." Tang Leyan agreed, then suddenly smiled.
I thought I would die at his doorstep, but unexpectedly, something else happened.
Chu Ge Xing, oh Chu Ge Xing, I said it long ago.
My affairs are none of your business.
What does my life or death have to do with you?
Even this time...
All you need to do is stay far away from me, that's all.
She sighed, lowered her head, leaned against the man's chest, and unknowingly fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 251: Old Acquaintances
Because it was built on a very high peak, and there was no stove or other means of heating inside, it was extremely cold.
Tang Leyan woke up in bed and let out a soft groan.
She used to sleep like this, but when she woke up, she was woken up by the cold. She had been living a life of luxury since she came down from the mountain. Apart from the time she was forced to kneel in the freezing cold at Chu Zhen's door, she had never suffered such a loss since returning to Shundu from Fengcheng.
For a moment, she was stunned, staring at the room's half-familiar, half-unfamiliar furnishings. The three words "Chu Gexing" floated through her mind.
Should we thank that guy, or hate him?
Tang Leyan shook her head, threw off the covers, and rolled off the cold bed.
After putting on her boots, she strolled around the room.
She was awake when Miaofeng's jailer appeared at Chu Gexing's house that day.
But a fire burned in his heart, because he resented Chu Zhen for his lack of understanding of romance.
When the man arrived, he attacked without saying a word.
She was no pushover, and coupled with her volatile temper, she started fighting with the man.
After a while, the guards outside the house were alerted.
People rushed over to help her, but none of them were as strong as that person.
While she was entangled with the constable, Chu Gexing's servant escaped from his home to inform him at the Military Affairs Office.
Ultimately, she could no longer hold on and failed in her efforts, and was captured by the jailer.
There's nothing wrong with that. She didn't do anything, so naturally she's not afraid.
Even if Tianmiao Peak captures her and takes her back, nothing will happen to her.
The rule at Tianmiao Peak is that there must be sufficient evidence to convict someone.
She was completely open and honest.
That's what I was thinking when I was about to surrender.
But on the way, when she saw the cold eyes of the jailer, she suddenly realized something.
I'm afraid their purpose in taking her back isn't simply to convict her.
She had a vague idea, but dared not admit it.
Tang Leyan turned around and saw a man dressed in white with his hair down standing behind her.
"Nineteen greets Mr. Dongchuang." Tang Leyan bowed slightly in greeting.
The man with disheveled hair glanced at her: "You're back so soon." He took a few steps forward, his sleeves fluttering, and sat down by the bed. He crossed his legs and placed them on the edge of the bed, resting his hands on them. He looked at her sideways.
Tang Leyan smiled: "Yes, it's been several years. Mr. Dongchuang is still as charming as ever."
Before dawn, Dongchuang smiled dismissively, flicking his long hair that hung down his chest. He had a strikingly handsome oval face with a pointed chin, and his eyes appeared particularly long and narrow when he wasn't glaring at anyone. He wore a plain white robe, the belt undone, exuding an air of languid sleepiness.
“Yes, it’s been a few years, but your glib tongue hasn’t changed at all.” He tugged at his long hair and looked at Tang Leyan.
Tang Leyan smiled and said, "Nineteen has come back to face the consequences of his sins. Mr. Dongchuang, you don't even try to avoid me?"
Dongchuang Weibai glanced at her and said, "Are you trying to find out what's going on with me?" He raised the corner of his mouth in a mocking manner.
Tang Leyan quickly bowed: "Of course not. It's just catching up. But if Mr. Dongchuang has any inside information, and if we happen to mention it during our conversation, I would be even happier."
"I don't think I need to say anything. You're very happy too." Dongchuang Weibai smiled gently.
"Not at all, not at all. I was looking worried, but when I saw Mr. Dongchuang, all my worries suddenly vanished." Tang Leyan opened her fan, fanned herself a couple of times, and then stuck out her tongue. "So cold." She slowly closed the fan again.
Before dawn, Dongchuang saw her mischievous expression. He chuckled and said, "You... come here."
Tang Leyan hesitated for a moment after hearing him call her name.
Dongchuang Weibai looked at her and asked, "What, are you afraid of me?"
Tang Leyan smiled and said, "How could that be? Mr. Dongchuang, you have always doted on Shijiu the most."
Dongchuang Weibai said, "You say this to everyone, and I have no idea what you're really thinking."
Tang Leyan walked to the bedside: "Mr. Dongchuang, did you hear the same thing from someone else?"
“For example…” Dongchuang Gudeng raised his head slightly, looking at her face so close to his, and reached out to brush the hair in front of his chest behind him. The movement was slow and elegant. He said, “For example, the Silver Envoy, the Gold Envoy… You said the same thing to them, didn’t you?”
Tang Leyan was slightly taken aback.
Dongchuang Weibai gave a cold smile, his eyes bright as if water were slowly flowing. He reached out and grasped Tang Leyan's wrist: "Nineteen, now you know their fate, don't you?"
Tang Leyan trembled: "Mr. Dongchuang..."
"But once you reach the end of your journey, will you become like them after Dongchuang Weibai?" Dongchuang Weibai stared intently at her and said slowly.
Tang Leyan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Jin made him..."
"He was such a devoted lover," Dongchuang Weibai sighed. "Their story is long, very long. Do you want to know?"
Tang Leyan nodded blankly.
“The poor child is terrified,” Dongchuang Weibai smiled, reaching out to pinch her cheek. “But I know you didn’t do this. It has nothing to do with you, so you don’t need to be afraid.”
Tang Leyan looked at him: "But..."
"If you want to know, come closer. It's freezing here, isn't it?" Dongchuang Weibai looked at her, his eyes suddenly becoming somewhat alluring.
"East window..."
Call me Wei Bai.
Before she could finish speaking, Dongchuang Weibai's hand trembled, and Tang Leyan gasped softly as he pulled her into his arms.
"Little girl, you've grown up so much over the years," he sighed.
Tang Leyan's heart skipped a beat.
Dongchuang Gudeng didn't do anything, he just stretched out his arms and hugged her: "You've grown up, you don't like being hugged by me like you used to, do you?"
Hearing a hint of melancholy in his voice, Tang Leyan couldn't help but say, "No, in my heart, Mr. Dongchuang is still the same person who cared for and looked after me before."
Before dawn, Dongchuang stiffened, then said, "You little rascal, you know how to act cute now. Do you want me to protect you?"
Tang Leyan agreed, "I don't know what they want to do with me by bringing me back."
“You, you,” Dongchuang Weibai chuckled, “you just don’t know how to be discreet. Don’t you understand what it means to be caught in the crossfire? Sigh… Don’t worry, I’m here, you’ll be fine.”
"But..." Tang Leyan caught a faint scent of fragrance emanating from Dongchuang Weibai. The scent was somewhat familiar, a fragrance from many years ago, which brought her a sense of peace. Hearing the heartbeat of the person beside her, she hesitated for a moment before asking, "Where...where is that person?"
"Which person?" Dongchuang Weibai asked.
"Um... um, you know who I'm talking about, it's Fifteen..."
Do you still think about him?
"No, I just..."
"You should know what I mean by 'caught in the crossfire,' my little nineteen," Dongchuang Weibai said, still with that faint, slightly teasing tone. But for some reason, Tang Leyan felt that Dongchuang Weibai's voice sounded particularly cold when he said those words.
The character Dongchuang Weibai is very... interesting.
Chapter 252: White Window of the East
"The pair of Jin and Yin are a case of one fool meeting the other," Dongchuang Weibai said.
"Why? Is it just because they...have feelings for each other?"
"Hmm, Little Nineteen has grown up; he can actually see this kind of romantic feeling between a man and a woman."
"East window..."
"Call me Wei Bai." Dongchuang Wei Bai reached out and gently patted her shoulder.
"Mr. Wei Bai..."
"Go! Call Wei Bai."
"Not yet," Tang Leyan conceded.
“As you know, private relationships are not allowed on Tianmiao Peak,” Dongchuang Weibai said with a hint of satisfaction. “So this couple, who clearly have feelings for each other, have kept quiet for over ten years. You endure it, I endure it too, it’s like a competition. Even I, an outsider, feel sorry for them.”
"Yeah……"
“Well, actually, this time it wasn’t all bad,” Dongchuang Weibai smiled. “Fifteen did a good thing.”
“But, after all, the person is already…” Tang Leyan suddenly felt a lump in her throat.
