Chapter 75: Chapter 73: Elopement? Who Should I Choose?
Shen Weixi didn’t notice Yun Ran’s dazed expression and said with a frown:
"Even though I greatly admire King Qin’s reputation as the War God! I am in complete awe of his invincibility on the battlefield! But the battlefield is different from the inner chambers; with your personality, marrying him would be like a little rabbit jumping into a wolf’s den!"
The more Shen Weixi thought about it, the graver the matter seemed; she couldn’t wait another moment.
She stood up directly, pulling Yun Ran towards the door, "You’re coming back to the General’s residence with me now. I’ll gather some valuables, and we’ll leave the city immediately."
Yun Ran: "..."
This whirlwind personality... truly a remarkable woman like the wind!
"Weixi, I can’t go with you."
Shen Weixi paused her steps, "Why?"
She thought for a moment, frowning, "Is it because of that bastard Shen Mubai that you’re mad at me too?"
Shen Mubai??
Yun Ran quickly searched her mind for information about him.
Shen Weixi’s cousin, Lin Wanyue’s sweetheart.
However, her affection was cautious, more like a hidden crush deep in her heart.
Shen Mubai once liked Lin Wanyue too, but later, he chose another woman.
Lin Wanyue was heartbroken, but lacked the courage to even question him.
Why her?
Why not her?
She asked herself countless times in her heart, yet never had the courage to really ask him.
Yun Ran’s distraction further convinced Shen Weixi of her guess. She scratched her head anxiously, "Yue’er, I have already cut ties with that bastard!"
"Since the last time I fought with him, I haven’t even looked at him directly. Please don’t be mad at me because of that bastard too!"
"If you’re really struggling with this, then I’ll just change my surname. I’ll take your surname and be called Lin Weixi going forward."
Yun Ran: "..."
Wouldn’t the Old General Shen come with a knife to chop her to pieces?!
"No, no, no, Weixi, you’ve misunderstood! I’m not mad at you! I’m not leaving because I’m mad, but because Nangong Mo knew I was coming to see you today."
"If we just leave like this, the General’s residence might get into trouble."
Upon hearing that Yun Ran was being considerate of her, Shen Weixi’s face immediately showed a touch of happiness.
"Don’t be afraid, Yue’er! The General’s residence is big enough; it won’t be easily destroyed. At most, King Qin will just send someone to vent his anger for a bit. It’d be best if they took that bastard Shen Mubai away and gave him a beating every three days until he’s dead!"
Yun Ran: "..."
Is this cousin really blood-related?
"Weixi, I know you’re worried about me, but Nangong Mo, he..."
Before Yun Ran finished speaking, Yan Zichu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly walked over to her, with a serious and earnest expression, and said:
"Ayue, I have decided. I want to take you away from the capital, away from Tianchu, far from this place of trouble."
"???"
Yun Ran’s expression was dazed, her heart somewhat disordered by the wind.
Both of them want to... elope with her?!
So the question arises, whom should she choose?
Looking at her stunned little face, Yan Zichu’s Mo Yu eyes flashed with a hint of pain, and he said gently, "Yue’er, don’t be afraid. In the vast Jiuzhou, we’ll go to a place where no one knows us and start anew. This time, your cousin will surely protect you."
Beside him, Shen Weixi looked displeased, "Yan, how can you compete with me for her? I was the one who suggested it first."
Then, she grabbed Yun Ran’s arm, "Yue’er, come with me."
Yun Ran: "..."
However, what they didn’t know was that in the room next door, Nangong Mo was sitting against the wall, his black eyes half-narrowed, staring at the wall in front of him. His incomparably handsome face was darkened to the point where ink seemed ready to drip from it.
