Les veuves de la dynastie Song se remariaient facilement - Chapitre 75
Now they've both appeared... and Chu Zhen is taking it so seriously.
Le Yan's eyes darted around, and she immediately thought of two people.
He was slightly startled, then chuckled to himself.
On the surface, however, he still refused to say anything, only watching with a smile.
Xue Xin and Xue Nuo looked at the young man before them.
Dressed in bright red, holding a gleaming fan, she was as eye-catching as could be.
However, the peculiar objects adorning her pink face added to her quirky and mischievous charm.
This flamboyant appearance and elfin air—no one would believe it's unrelated to those two.
The two were of one mind. After looking at each other for a while, they exchanged a glance and saw surprise and a hint of joy in each other's eyes.
"Who are these two?" Le Yan stood up and bowed as she asked.
Her eyes glanced at Chu Zhen beside her. She just kept looking.
Chu Zhen smiled, reached out, and gently grasped her right arm: "Le Yan, let me introduce you."
"Okay," she replied obediently, her eyes sweeping over his hand resting on her arm.
Just as he was about to speak, Xue Nuo smiled and said, "Hey... wait a minute."
Chu Zhen looked at him, puzzled.
Xue Nuo stepped forward and stood beside her, looking down at Le Yan: "Really. There's no need to trouble yourself. I think this... young man already knows who we are."
Chu Zhen was taken aback. She turned to look at Tang Leyan.
She coughed softly, unfolded her fan, and covered the corner of her lips.
Xue Xin also walked over, staring intently at her: "She seems quite clever, ah...she's so cute...it makes me want to tease her a little..."
He actually reached out and pinched her face.
"Hey!" Le Yan stretched out her fan to block Xue Xin's hand, and at the same time stepped back to stand behind Chu Zhen, calling out, "Uncle Zhen."
"Haha..." Xue Nuo couldn't help but laugh out loud upon seeing this.
Chu Zhen glared at Xue Xin: "Xin!"
Xue Xin rubbed his hands together, saying, "I couldn't help it," while glancing behind Chu Zhen. "Come on, come on, it won't hurt much, Uncle Xin promises..."
Xue Nuo reached out and tapped him on the head: "You know you're my uncle, don't look at me like that, okay?"
"Yes!" Xue Xin was taken aback. He pouted, feeling wronged.
Le Yan hid behind Chu Zhen, with one hand on Chu Zhen's shoulder. She was pretending to be a timid little lamb, but she still couldn't help but secretly smile when she saw this.
Chu Zhen was staring at Xue Xin and didn't see it.
Xue Nuo, however, saw it clearly: "Hey, you laughing one, come out here."
Le Yan quickly pulled her head back: "I wasn't laughing."
Xue Nuo sighed, "He has the exact same bad temper as that person. Seeing him makes me want to..."
"Who is that person?" Le Yan asked with a slight smile.
"You know who it is yourself," Xue Nuo snorted.
"You two, you scared her." Chu Zhen frowned and turned to the side. He took Le Yan's hand, which was on his shoulder, as if protecting his own child.
Le Yan was overjoyed, her mouth agape even wider, her shoulders trembling slightly with laughter.
Xue Nuo looked at Chu Zhen and smiled, "Zhen, don't protect her like this. If she really is one of those two... how could she be someone to be bullied? Besides, if it really is..." He immediately straightened his face and gave Le Yan a cold look.
Le Yan felt that Chu Zhen's hand was very warm and reliable, and her joy was hard to contain. Hearing Xue Nuo's unfriendly tone, she turned her head and asked, "So what?"
"I'll see when you reveal your true colors."
Xue Nuo thought to herself, then sneered, "Little girl, is your father named Tang Shaosi?"
Chu Zhen was taken aback, not expecting Arno to ask so bluntly.
He couldn't help but turn to look at Tang Leyan.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Le Yan tilted her head and looked away, fanning herself nonchalantly.
"No," Xue Xin called softly from the side, whispering something in Xue Nuo's ear.
Chu Zhen didn't have time to pay attention to the two of them and hurriedly turned to comfort Le Yan.
Leyan had no idea it would have this effect.
She let Chu Zhen hold her hand and listen to his gentle words. Although she was happy inside, she couldn't show it on her face and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Luckily, I had my glasses covering my eyes.
"Leyan, they mean no harm," Chu Zhen said gently in a low voice, trying to comfort the boy in front of her.
Or was he being too hasty? Perhaps he might have startled her instead?
I know, of course I know. Tang Leyan chuckled inwardly: Ah Xin and Ah Nuo, I've heard so much about them for a long time.
But Uncle Zhen, they seem to be smarter than you.
They seem hard to fool.
I thought I would be spending time alone with Uncle Zhen, but unexpectedly, two other people showed up.
Thinking this, he glanced behind his glasses at the two brothers who were whispering to each other.
"Uncle Zhen," he said, closing his fan and tucking it into his waistband, then reaching out with his other hand to grasp Chu Zhen's hand, speaking in a low voice as if he were startled, "but they look so strange."
The little sheep pretended to bleat.
"It's alright, Leyan, they are all... your parents' old friends." Chu Zhen's expression darkened for a moment.
Seeing this, Le Yan's heart sank.
What was he thinking about?
Meanwhile...
Xue Nuo watched from the side with her eyes wide open.
This wasn't the first time he had met her.
The first time they met was when he had just returned to Shundu. Before he even entered Chu Zhen's house, he got into a fight with this guy right at the door.
Back then, she was free-spirited, fierce, and shrewish; she was nothing like the pitiful little lamb she is now.
Unfortunately, it seems Chu Zhen didn't notice...
He blindly protected her.
Xue Nuo was secretly angry: This girl is just as good as that silly Yu, ah, no, it should be said that she has surpassed her master.
They're really tough to deal with.
If we're talking about this terrifyingly cunning and scheming personality, it's probably more like Tang Shaosi's.
Although Yu Daizi is sometimes quirky and clever, he is mostly dull and doesn't have the same smooth and slippery demeanor as this girl.
By the way, what's that thing she's wearing on her face?
Strange and bizarre.
The thought of those two people who disappeared without a word stirred up the anger that had been buried for over a decade.
Xue Nuo thought: I really want to give it to her...
Xue Xin coughed and said, "Yes, calm down." He then reached out and pulled her over.
As expected of twins, they are perfectly in sync.
Xue Nuo frowned, suppressing the restlessness in her heart.
Yes, yes, it's like catching a cunning fish right now; one wrong move and you'll scare her away.
but……
His eyes swept back and forth between Chu Zhen and Le Yan.
Hmm? Look at those hands gripping the ground.
It looks like there's some great bait here.
Xue Nuo was overjoyed. He glanced at Xue Xin, only to see that his elder brother also had an expression that said, "I know too."
The two exchanged a glance, understanding each other without saying a word.
I'll probably update three times today. I'll add an extra chapter as a birthday gift for Jingjing. It's painful; I haven't been writing well lately, and I really can't think of any side stories, so I'll make up for it with an extra chapter. Yeah, everyone who agrees, please raise your hand.
Dragon and Tiger Fight in the Capital, Chapter Ninety-One: Maneuvering
From childhood to adulthood, Le Yan had never experienced the feeling of pretending to be weak.
Now, being by Chu Zhen's side, she can pretend to be clueless to her heart's content, and it's actually quite enjoyable; she's almost having a good time.
When did I start to like the feeling of being protected?
Or perhaps it's because she slept with him a few times and fell in love with his warm embrace.
Or perhaps it was during that assassination attempt that night, when he calmly embraced him, held the dagger to his chest, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be afraid."
Or... there is no or.
This feeling is indescribable; indeed, it's completely indescribable.
Chu Zhen used all his persuasive skills to finally pull her out from behind.
Xue Nuo watched coldly, thinking to herself, "Yu Daizi, the child you raised is truly remarkable."
Where have you and Brother Si been hiding? Come out quickly and let us bow to you.
With Chu Zhen holding her hand, Le Yan shyly bowed to Xue Xin and Xue Nuo.
Seeing this, the two of them sighed in unison: "Sweetie, get up."
The two brothers exchanged a glance: it would be difficult to bully this child.
However, it seems that she also has some flaws.
