My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1848: Neglected

He is not like what my mother said. He is nobler and more outstanding than I imagined, looking down on everything.

The harder he is to conquer, the more he fuels her desire to challenge. Precisely because it’s difficult, it’s something other women can’t achieve, but she can, proving she is the only one who can match him.

This time, Lie Fengzi is ambitious and vows to conquer this arrogant man with her unique feminine allure.

This time alone is a good opportunity.

However, she doesn’t agree with her mother’s idea of using beauty to her advantage. Firstly, it really damages her dignity, and secondly, she feels he is not a shallow man and will certainly see her excellence and brilliance. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Such things shouldn’t be done by a dignified Duke’s daughter. She is different from her mother; she even has a subtle contempt for her mother in her heart. Her mother is only a maid by birth, while she is an unparalleled Duke’s daughter! It’s laughable that her mother uses so-called experience to lecture her. How could she fall to the level where she needs to use her body to get a man? It is simply humiliating.

Her delicate lips slightly hold a proud smile. The face she has carefully made up is as beautiful as a pear blossom, and possesses an intellectual elegance, yet is still gentle and caring—a perfection like a goddess.

Lie Fengzi is confident as she lightly pushes the door open.

Sure enough, she sees Helian Ling Kong with his back to the door, sitting in a chair with a pile of empty bottles on the table, indicating he’s drunk quite a bit. The faint smell of alcohol wafts out.

Is he really in a bad mood? It’s just right for her to show her gentle character, with empathetic and considerate words to soothe his restless heart.

But what is he looking at? Lie Fengzi sees Helian Ling Kong has opened a virtual screen and seems to be carefully looking at some content.

She is startled as footsteps sound on the soft carpet, yet Helian Ling Kong seems fully engrossed with the screen, failing to even notice her coming in.

Lie Fengzi feels even more perplexed, wondering what has captured his attention to the point he doesn’t realize she’s walked in, and she feels a sense of being ignored, a gloomy sensation. Usually surrounded like a star, wherever she appears, she is the men’s focus and the subject of their attention.

But now, she’s being ignored this thoroughly for the first time.

Unable to help but angrily staring at the screen that has taken all his attention, she steps closer to see what’s inside.

As she gets closer, suddenly appearing within her view is an intentionally enlarged face, so clear that even the eyelashes are distinct—such a face crashes into Lie Fengzi’s eyes, making her face dramatically change, filled with shock and disbelief.

Her footsteps freeze in astonishment.

She thinks she might be hallucinating, but the face remains the same, bland and unremarkable, one that wouldn’t garner interest in a crowd. An intense disgust and anger immediately rise in her heart.

What’s the matter? He’s so focused that he doesn’t even see her but is looking at this woman.

Lie Fengzi’s exquisitely intellectual and beautiful face contorts for a moment, with a fierce sharpness beneath her eyes soaring to an extreme.

She recognizes that woman; it was her mother who invited her to the Yun Family to investigate what attractions she might hold to be Helian Ling Kong’s mistress, but her mother’s words made her completely dismiss her concerns.

Mediocre without beauty, disgustingly weak-willed, lacking insight and knowledge—a country girl with no traits to attract a man’s interest. Essentially a worthless, repulsive, and obstructive presence.
