My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1870: Take a Gamble

"Darling, thankfully you didn’t go to bed with him, or you’d be at a loss now." Mrs. Yun said coldly with a look of lingering fear, "The latest news reported that he went missing in battle, he might already be dead."

"What? You said he went missing, possibly dead?" Lie Fengzi was extremely shocked, having been in the capital of Yalan Country, maybe due to sensitive issues, not much news about the battle was disclosed there.

"Yes, who would have thought this Councilman’s son is also unlucky, just like the last one. Thankfully, dear, you didn’t give yourself to him, otherwise, it would’ve been a waste of your chastity, all for nothing." Mrs. Yun was a realistic pragmatist, calculating everything very clearly in her mind.

Of course, the Councilman’s son was the best target, but since he’s probably gone now, there’s no helping it, they’ll have to look for the next target.

"Young Master Helian dead? How could that be? Mom, I have to fly back to Yalan Country, I need to find out the truth." Lie Fengzi was suddenly very worried.

Mrs. Yun turned serious: "Fengzi, don’t be foolish, talking about flying over there, you two were only rumored to be involved anyway, it wasn’t public. If you rush over there showing how anxious you are, others will certainly assume you were very close to him, and if he really is dead, that’s not good for your reputation, people will hesitate to pursue you because you are the Councilman’s son’s ex-girlfriend. Nothing good comes from this, especially in such a sensitive time, you should stay out of it."

If it tarnished even a bit of her beautiful daughter’s reputation, it would make all the effort in nurturing this gem a waste.

However, Lie Fengzi’s face was stubborn: "But if he’s not dead, and I go to take care of him, I can show my true love and concern for him. Not only can I win his heart, but also the favor of the Councilman and his wife. A battlefield romance would become a great story, and my relationship with him could definitely reach a new level, I could use this chance to rise smoothly."

She’s not a fool, she knows how to weigh the pros and cons, understanding the reputational cost she has to bear, and wants to take a gamble.

If she bets correctly, she could have someone as perfect as Helian Ling Kong as a husband, what an exciting prospect, and she could marry into such a prestigious family, becoming a person of high stature, having whatever she desires.

This had become the highest goal of her life, she was unwilling to give up suddenly.

Moreover, Lie Fengzi’s gaze softened, she truly admired that man, whether it was his exceptional looks, unmatched talent, or noble demeanor, every aspect intoxicated her, so she didn’t want to give up.

"And if news comes that he’s still alive, it won’t be too late to go then." Mrs. Yun also hesitated, her daughter was right, there was no guarantee that the Councilman’s son was dead, if he wasn’t, this would indeed be a great opportunity to show loyalty in love.

This would definitely be an excellent opportunity to add points for her daughter, going to the front lines amidst war to find her missing lover, it would surely win her admiration from all sides, and the Councilman and his wife would be truly moved.

"Mom, by then it would be too late. Many women who fancy him could do the same, how could I stand out?" Lie Fengzi’s eyes were sly and confident, "If I do it, it must be unique, and it should come at a cost. I want to take a gamble, and I also believe my luck is good, I’m sure to win."
