Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty-Chapter 72: Unloved Daughter of Yue Mansion (26)

But in the past, Xue Lu was not like this. It could be said that she was never attracted to Yue Yu—until now, that is.

In the past, Yue Yu was also known to be gentle in mannerisms, impeccable in dealing with people, very talented with high potential and high status, and a handsome man with a first-class appearance. He is a rare, perfect dream man in the public eye, a well-known figure in the capital.

However, Xue Lu did not believe those rumours, or rather, she personally did not want to believe that there was another person in the world who was as perfect as herself!

And therefore, she has been avoiding Yue Yu on various occasions. She doesn't want or plan to meet him at all.

Today, she was somehow in a feverish mood.

Hearing her maid say that Yue Ran had accepted the invitation for the flower viewing banquet held in the oldest princess' mansion, she quickly followed, just to come and see how Yue Ran would make a fool of herself during the poem exchange event.

With such a rare, excited mood, she inexplicably forgot that Yue Yu would also come to this flower viewing banquet with Yue Ran.

But there was no reason for her to leave at this time.

Forget it; if he came, then so be it.

But she couldn't help glancing at the man from the corners of her eyes again and again.

He looks really good.

She guessed that those rumors about Yue Yu being very handsome were at the very least true.

Xue Lu's heart fluttered a little.

"Crape myrtle, trumpet vine, and rose," the oldest princess said. "I will use these three different flowering plants as the theme this time, and I would like to ask all the young masters and young ladies to compose poems with these three topics for today's poem exchange event."

Servants of the oldest princess' mansion began to move about to lead the young noblemen and noble ladies to the venue, where the tables and chairs were neatly placed around the area.

Yue Yu indisputably took the seat beside Yue Ran.

He fixed a piece of rice paper in front of him before gracefully rolling up his sleeve to brush the seal scripts of the names of all three kinds of flowering plants on it, black ink on white paper.

With the correct tension between the brush, wrist, and arm, the rice paper now had elegant writing that looked as if it were beautifully printed right in front of Yue Ran's eyes.

How does the male protagonist do everything so perfectly?

It was almost as if he weren't human! frёewebnoѵēl.com

Just when everyone was about to show off their skills, another unexpected person came.

"Yue Ran!"

Hearing such a voice, Yue Ran knew instantly who that person was.

Only one person would ever greet her so excitedly.

It's Ming Ze.

She had already expected his presence since he would only attend the party if only Yue Ran was there.

But that cannot be said for the others.

The crowd was confused.

Why did Ming Ze, the domineering little lord, come here today?

Didn't he always dislike this kind of banquet?

But now, this place is really lively. There are many well-known figures of the capital who have come—Yue Yu, Ming Ze, Yue Ran, and Xue Lu.

Attending this flower viewing banquet is really not in vain!

Naturally, there were more well-known figures that would come to attend this banquet hosted by the oldest princess. One was His Highness, the Crown Prince.

He had come early, just like Yue Yu, and was resting in the guest room, just like Yue Yu did before.

☼︎ ✵ ☼︎

When Xia Zhan, a general whose career has nothing to do with poetry and prose, heard that Yue Ran and Xue Lu were attending the flower viewing banquet, his first thought was that it was all because of him.

Yue Ran and Xue Lu meeting face-to-face in the same place is rather rare, and with Xia Zhan's own narcissism and added thoughts, he sincerely thought that the two noblewomen had a dispute because of him.

And thus, he hurried his way to the oldest princess' mansion.

☼︎ ✵ ☼︎

Listening to Ruan Ruan's broadcast of Xia Zhan's moves, Yue Ran not only did not panic, she felt excited!

She was so excited that she could finally face another Shura field again!

Yue Ran: So happy!

Ruan Ruan: Master, aren't you worried that one day this dangerous Shura field may kill you?

For that, Yue Ran can only say that she was no white lotus and no green tea, and therefore no one can find any fault with her. She just got in touch with a few more men and never tried to seduce them at all—at least not openly.

Therefore, if they do fall in love with her, she can't help it.

It's not her problem.

It was easy to gain these men's attention, especially with her extremely beautiful face, charming appearance, and a slim figure clad in seductive red that could make any man think of thoughts that were full of spring, no matter how much they denied it in their hearts.

This could be seen by those noblemen, who thought that they would never be attracted to Yue Ran, constantly sneaking glances at her, hoping to get her attention on them if possible.

Not to mention her out-of-this-world temperament. When combined, it gave her a unique, unparalleled glamour that was most definitely sought after by everyone.

Ming Ze didn't care about what others thought of him, as he instantly made a beeline for Yue Ran as soon as he had arrived.

"Yue Ran, don't you hate poetry exchange events before? So why did you decide to come here today?"

Ming Ze had absolutely no other meaning in his words other than pure curiosity.

Yue Ran had confided—more like the original utter things in frustration to Ming Ze, a living portable sponge—in him in many things. So he knew that she had never shown any interest in these kinds of events before, which also led to his own absence.

"I can go wherever I want, hmph!" Yue Ran raised her chin and folded her hands with arrogance.

Even if she was pouting, she still looked very beautiful.

It's just that the smile on Yue Yu's face shattered for a moment with Ming Ze's sudden invasion of his and Yue Ran's two-person world.

Yue Yu was very jealous that Ming Chen could get Yue Ran's love and heart, and even more jealous that Ming Ze dared to tell everyone in the world that he likes Yue Ran.

And he, Yue Yu, is not only Yue Ran's elder brother in name but also a remnant prince of the former dynasty. If he fails to restore his dynasty in the future, he will not be able to escape death.

…Being with Yue Ran would then forever be a pipe dream.

No, he will definitely be able to successfully restore his dynasty! He has been planning for more than ten years, and there is absolutely no possibility of failure!

"You're right; if you did write poems, then the poems you create must be the best!"

Ming Ze's ability to open his eyes and tell lies is already top-notch due to years of practice.

When speaking to Yue Ran, Ming Ze would always look at her with a pair of very affectionate and sincere eyes. One that made all the noble young ladies around them barely prevent themselves from biting their own handkerchief in envy.

Why is Yue Ran so lucky?

Not only does she have a perfect elder brother like Yue Yu, she also has a handsome admirer with a prominent birth like the youngest prince of the imperial family, Ming Ze!

"Naturally," Yue Ran replied without a pause and flicked her hair behind her shoulder for added dramatic effect.

After all, she is the best and will always be the best.

When Ming Ze wanted to continue talking to Yue Ran, someone exclaimed, "General Xia has arrived!"

The servant's announcement interrupted everyone and grabbed everyone's attention, and the crowd began chattering again.

"General Xia?"

"Yes, don't you even know the youngest general of the dynasty?"

"General Xia Zhan!"

"Why did he suddenly come?"

"I have never seen him at small events like these before!"

"That's right, except for attending imperial banquets, General Xia was known to never attend another casual event like these!"

"Could it be... because of Xue Lu?"
