Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty-Chapter 411: Substitute Bride of the Demon King (15)

Yue Ran was a sight to behold, simultaneously captivating and charming in her disheveled glory.

Silas narrowed his eyes and took the small wooden sculpture from her hand, saying, "Well, I really did not expect you to find it. In this case, I will give it to you."

The smile on Yue Ran’s face immediately bloomed even more brilliantly. "Really?"

Silas chuckled. "Of course."

The man said this, but when he handed it back to her, his fingertips suddenly exerted force against the wooden figurine. With a click, the wooden carving broke into two pieces.

"Hey... what? How did this happen?" Yue Ran showed an anxious look on her face, obviously very surprised. "This... how did it suddenly break into two pieces? I have been looking for it for a very long time..."

Yue Ran was slow to react, and she subconsciously stepped forward to grasp his hand. All her attention was on the wooden carving, and she did not seem to notice that she was holding his hand at all.

Silas instantly saw the cuts on the back of his hand and felt the other person’s soft and warm fingers. He pulled his hand away suddenly and threw the wooden idol to the ground with disgust. Yue Ran’s hands were left to hang awkwardly in the air.

"It is broken, so what? Do you want to blame me? Are you brave enough to do so?"

These words gradually calmed Yue Ran down.

"No, I... I did not; I just feel that it is a pity." Yue Ran opened her mouth to explain. She picked up the broken pieces of wooden carving on the ground, looked at the other party, and seemed a little aggrieved and sad as she said, "Do not be angry; I do not mean to blame you. I just feel a little distressed since such a beautiful wooden carving could break so easily. After all, it was carved with great effort, and it was also a token of love. It is such a pity that it broke."

Yue Ran’s fingers gently stroked the broken edge of the half-broken piece. The wounds and mud on her fingers had not yet been cleaned off.

Silas felt an indescribable weirdness. The original owner of the figurine did not feel sorry for it, so why should she feel sorry? It is just a piece of broken wood. Was it worth feeling so distressed over two broken pieces of useless wood?

Seeing that Silas did not say anything, Yue Ran held the two broken pieces of wood again. She then raised her head and looked at him carefully. "Can you still give me this wooden carving?"

Silas was too lazy to look any longer at Yue Ran and simply replied, "It is up to you."

It is just a piece of broken wood. Sure enough, this woman is merely a fake that could not be taken outside. After all, she can only pick up things that others do not want.

Yue Ran smiled again after hearing that and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." A gentle smile appeared in her round and clear phoenix eyes, and then she held the wood sculpture to her chest like a treasure. A red blush stained her earlobes as she whispered shyly, "Is this a token of our love...?"

Silas failed to hear what the young woman said clearly, but he felt disgusted by her movements. "What did you just say? Speak louder."

"Ah, it is nothing," Yue Ran shook her head frantically and said, a blush creeping up her cheeks. "I mean that it is getting late, husband..." she let out a small cough. "I mean, Your Majesty, you should go to bed early; I will come to find you tomorrow, okay?"

...

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

Yue Ran took the two broken pieces of the wooden sculpture back to her bedroom and immediately asked the maid to find glue with a strong and reliable hold. She then tried to glue the two broken pieces of the wood carving together again.

The operation was naturally done for show. Yue Ran knew that the maids who were serving her in the bedroom were there to watch over her. To put it bluntly, they were here to monitor her every move. No matter what she did, the maids would report it to Silas.

Yue Ran spent half a night finally gluing the two broken pieces of the wooden carving back together. She smiled with satisfaction when she was done and said, "I finally succeeded."

However, even if she repaired the damaged wooden figurine as perfectly and meticulously as she could, the crack in the middle would not disappear from sight.

Even so, Yue Ran was still very happy and muttered, "Well, although it is a little damaged, it does not matter. It still looks good anyway."

Yue Ran placed the wooden carving next to the pillow, stroking the damaged marks with her fingertips, and then fell asleep with a smile on her face.

...

After hearing this news from the maid, Silas narrowed his eyes slightly, and a puzzled expression appeared on his cold face.

What game was Leila trying to play? Could it be that she thought that she could replace Ellie’s position and win his heart? That is ridiculous!

...

Yue Ran had been making her presence known for a few days, gradually acclimating to the surroundings and familiarizing herself with the people, particularly Silas. However, she understood that simply becoming familiar was not enough to build a genuine connection. If she truly wanted to get close to him, she needed to wait for the right opportunity to present itself. Therefore, the young woman waited for this possibility for a week.

Then, on the seventh day, her opportunity came. The news that Silas had been seriously injured and had coughed up blood reached her bedroom. After receiving this news, Yue Ran naturally rushed to the man’s side as soon as she could, obvious worry etched on her face.
