Gu Chenan pulled Liu Mingrui to the manor's backyard.
Seeing no one around, Gu Chenan finally let go of her hand.
"Liu Mingrui, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Liu Mingrui didn't answer Gu Chenan's question. She just crossed her arms, made a frightened expression, and looked around with a panicked look, saying, "What is Young Master Gu trying to do by bringing me to a place with no people?"
Gu Chenan: #
"Can you be normal, please!" Gu Chenan said angrily.
He was at a loss for words. Did this Liu Mingrui eat the wrong medicine? How did she become like this?
Is this still the Liu Mingrui who could punch him and send him flying back dozens of meters?
Where is your masculinity? Where is your heroic spirit of marching on even if facing thousands of enemies?
How did you become such a sissy after not seeing me for a few days?
Oh right, Liu Mingrui was originally a woman...
Anyway, no matter what, Liu Mingrui is definitely not right. She must have gotten a serious illness or taken the wrong medicine!
"Chenan dear~~ Is there anything wrong with what I said?" Liu Mingrui continued coquettishly.
【Damnit! Is Liu Mingrui trying to mess with me?】
【Is she angry because I left the Liu house so abruptly last time, so she's deliberately acting like this to anger me?】
【No... that doesn't make sense either. Given her personality, even if she was angry, she would punch me a couple of times!】
Just then, a figure walked over from under the camphor tree not far away from the two.
She had her back against the camphor tree and was listening to Gu Chenan and Liu Mingrui's conversation.
She was none other than Lin Yu's master, Tang Yunjin!
Tang Yunjin was not only prideful, but also very curious.
She wanted to know why Gu Chenan took Liu Mingrui away and also wanted to find a chance to ask Gu Chenan about Lin Yu and Hei Yao.
So when she saw Gu Chenan taking Liu Mingrui away from the guest area, she sneakily followed them.
In the backyard.
Hearing Liu Mingrui's coy tone gave Gu Chenan a headache that buzzed and rumbled.
"Chenan dear~~ Why did you bring me to a place like this? I'm so scared~" Liu Mingrui said gently as she moved closer to Gu Chenan, a sly look on her face.
Hearing this, Gu Chenan's face was full of frustration. He helplessly sighed and said, "Please, stop seducing me, okay?"
【Damn, can you be normal please? Lin Yu is right below us. If you keep seducing me, he will definitely take it out on me! 】
【Although I have no intentions toward you, who knows what that crazy Lin Yu is thinking!】
Hearing Gu Chenan's inner thoughts, Tang Yunjin raised an eyebrow.
Seduce?!
So has it been Liu Mingrui seducing Gu Chenan all this time?
But that's not what Lin Yu said. He clearly said Gu Chenan had designs on Liu Mingrui?!
Could it be...
Thinking of this, Tang Yunjin shook her head.
Not sure, keep watching.
"What do you mean I'm seducing you?" Liu Mingrui stamped her feet lightly, her peaks undulating.
"I'm just saying I want to be with Chenan dear~~"
"Damnit!"
Gu Chenan helplessly cursed. He angrily grabbed Liu Mingrui by the shoulders and said, "I'm begging you, don't be like this today, okay? I'll agree to whatever you want in the future!"
Choose the lesser of two evils.
Although agreeing might lead to Liu Mingrui pestering him in the future, it was better than Liu Mingrui acting inappropriately in front of Lin Yu.
"Really, Chenan dear~~?" Liu Mingrui's eyes lit up.
Gu Chenan resigned himself to his fate and nodded. "Really. As long as you keep your distance from me today, we'll talk about things in the future. Deal?"
【Big sis, I'm convinced. Truly convinced.】
【You definitely can't let Lin Yu think I'm trying to steal his woman today.】
【That stallion Lin Yu has already decided that I'm trying to steal Su Qianmo from him. If he also thinks I'm trying to steal you, he'll eat me alive!】
Hearing this, the corners of Liu Mingrui's mouth turned up in a perfect arc. She hooked Gu Chenan's arm and said, "It's a deal then, Chenan dear~~"
"Starting now, act normal. Call me Chenan or Gu, not that disgusting nickname!"
"Also, no physical contact today!" Gu Chenan said as he withdrew his arm from Liu Mingrui's soft and elastic embrace.
Seeing this scene and hearing Gu Chenan's inner thoughts, Tang Yunjin behind the camphor tree was shocked.
Where was Gu Chenan trying to take advantage of Liu Mingrui?
It was clearly Liu Mingrui making advances on Gu Chenan!
Lin Yu had been deceiving her all this time!
He also said Gu Chenan was trying to steal Su Qianmo from him, but that's not what Gu Chenan's inner thoughts said at all!
Words can be lies, but inner thoughts cannot!
Moreover, Gu Chenan didn't even know I could hear his inner thoughts, so he couldn't have been lying!
Thinking of this, a hint of anger flashed through Tang Yunjin's eyes.
Lin Yu, oh Lin Yu, how much have you lied to me!
After determining that Lin Yu was deceiving her, Tang Yunjin became even more curious about Lin Yu and Hei Yao. She lowered her head in thought for a moment before stepping out.
"Mr. Gu, can we talk?"
Hearing Tang Yunjin's voice, Gu Chenan, who was about to return to the competition venue, was startled. He turned around and his eyes froze.
F*ck!
Tang Yunjin?!
What the hell? Why is she looking for me?
Liu Mingrui looked at Tang Yunjin in confusion, then turned to Gu Chenan and asked, "Who's this?"
Gu Chenan immediately regained his composure and shook his head. "Don't know her."
【Who is she? She's the stallion Lin Yu's master and concubine!】
Master?
Concubine?
Both Liu Mingrui and Tang Yunjin were taken aback when they heard Gu Chenan's inner thoughts.
Liu Mingrui was surprised that Tang Yunjin, who didn't look over twenty, could be Lin Yu's master.
As for Tang Yunjin, she was shocked. When did she become Lin Yu's concubine?
She was his master, not his girlfriend!
And he even said she was one of Lin Yu's concubines?
Ridiculous!
Even more outrageous was that Gu Chenan actually looked down on crop tops!
Very angry, cannot tolerate!
"Miss, do you need something?" Gu Chenan asked.
As he spoke, Gu Chenan's gaze inadvertently looked towards Tang Yunjin's chest.
【Tsk, such a cute girl turned out to be a crop top.】
【Cannot tolerate crop tops!】
Crop top?
Hearing this, Tang Yunjin looked down in confusion, then became both embarrassed and angry.
Damnit, what's wrong with crop tops? Crop tops save fabric!
But Tang Yunjin quickly reacted. She bit her lip and said, "Mr. Gu, can I have a word?"
"No, no time." Gu Chenan rejected her in seconds.
【Must not get involved with Lin Yu's master in any way.】
【Although that stallion Lin Yu hasn't shown Tang Yunjin any affection yet, he has long viewed Tang Yunjin as his forbidden fruit. 】
【And most importantly, the cute girl Tang Yunjin is also one of the stallion Lin Yu's concubines.】
【If I have any interaction with her, Lin Yu will definitely kill me!】
"Let's go, Mingrui. Let's head back to the competition venue."
Gu Chenan turned and left, not giving Tang Yunjin any time to speak again.
Watching Gu Chenan's back, Tang Yunjin's face was extremely ugly.
Lin Yu views me as his forbidden fruit?
Is that a joke? I'm his master, not his girlfriend!
And he says I'm one of Lin Yu's concubines?
Ridiculous!
Even more outrageous was that Gu Chenan actually looked down on crop tops!
Very angry, cannot tolerate!

Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
