Chapter 310 Ning An Ru Meng: You Yue is no longer stupid 14

Chu Yuan thought to herself, "This reason should be convincing enough, right?"

Putting aside where she learned all this, it's perfectly reasonable for a young girl to admire him and therefore consider his feelings in every way, worrying that he might be misled by bad people!

Little did she know, Yan Ling nearly choked to death. She turned her head away, covered her mouth, and coughed for a while before turning back with a slightly flushed face. "You, you're talking nonsense!"

How could she like him? His heart only belongs to Ningning.

My subconscious instinct was to say no, but it felt like something was stuck in my throat, and I couldn't say it.

Fortunately, Mr. Xie and Ningning returned at that moment. Yanling breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject, "How did you two run into each other?"

Jiang Xuening looked slightly pale, probably because Xie Wei had given her a good "lesson".

Both of their gazes fell on Chu Yuan's hand, which she hadn't yet retracted. The woman was of medium height, wearing a sunset-colored dress that blended seamlessly with the evening sun, making her bright and beautiful, a beauty that captivated anyone who looked at her.

Xie Wei's thick, dark eyebrows couldn't help but twitch upwards.

Jiang Xuening's expression was complicated, her heart filled with mixed feelings. "Yan Ling, what's going on here?"

Chu Yuan consciously took her hand back.

Hearing Yan Ling's clumsy explanation, "Oh, Miss You Er almost got burned by the charcoal fire just now. In her haste, she helped me up. It's a small matter, nothing to make a fuss about."

Chu Yuan: You do know how to explain things.

Jiang Xuening wasn't sure whether to believe her or not, and said somewhat wearily, "It's getting late, let's go back."

“Alright, Qingfeng, you see Brother Zhou off. Ningning, I'll see you off,” Yanling said hurriedly.

Jiang Xuening nodded, and before turning around, she suddenly glanced at Chu Yuan, "What about Miss You Er's reply?"

"I'll take her myself..." But before Chu Yuan could finish speaking, Xie Wei suddenly interjected, "I'll take her."

Chu Yuan: ? ? ?

What's going on here?! In the original drama, Xie Wei volunteered to escort Jiang Xue Ning so that he could interrogate her in the carriage about why she had befriended Zhou Yanzhi and whether she knew that Zhou Yanzhi had ulterior motives for approaching Yan Ling!

How did it suddenly become a gift for her?!

Chu Yuan felt uneasy, worried that Xie Wei might have discovered her secret of poisoning, but upon closer inspection, it seemed unlikely. Not only was he not there at that time, but even if he had, she had done it so discreetly that the chances of being discovered were extremely small.

With her eyes lowered and fluttering, Chu Yuan said, "No need to trouble you, sir. I will return to my residence on my own."

Yan Ling: "You came by a carriage with steep steps. How will you get back on your own without a horse-drawn carriage?"

You're such a chatterbox!

Chu Yuan secretly grimaced. She had kindly given him advice, but he turned out to be a terrible teammate.

Yan Ling probably didn't realize that although he still cared about Jiang Xuening and firmly believed that Jiang Xuening was the only one in his heart, he had unknowingly started to regard Chu Yuan as one of his own.

Helpless, Chu Yuan had no choice but to get into Xie Wei's carriage.

As soon as they got in the car, Xie Wei got straight to the point without any pretense: "You like antelopes?"

Chu Yuan pulled out a handkerchief and pressed it to her mouth, almost coughing her heart out.

As for that question, she didn't want to answer it. Whether she liked it or not was her own business, and Xie Wei was being too nosy!

Is it not enough for him to have a female lead to take care of him? Does she have to take care of him too?

Seeing that she didn't answer, Xie Wei changed the subject, "Did you come to the Marquis of Yongyi's residence today because you admire Yan Ling and don't want to miss the opportunity to meet him, or do you know that Zhou Yanzhi is going to harm the Yan family?"

Chu Yuan's mind went blank, her throat itched, and she felt like coughing again.

Xie Wei's voice was cold, and his intimidating presence was overwhelming. "Even if you cough until you have tuberculosis, I will still ask you if you don't answer my questions!"

"..."

"I have both." Chu Yuan could only open her mouth, but she tried to confuse the truth as much as possible, even if it was just a little bit.

Xie Wei is different from Yan Ling; he is suspicious and tends to think the worst about people or things he cannot control.

So if he discovers her secret of being able to predict the future, who knows how much trouble it will cause? It's better for the female lead to bear the trouble that could cost her her life if she's not careful.

Chu Yuan looked so aggrieved she was about to cry. "Don't you believe me, sir? Do you not believe that You Yue likes Yan Ling, or do you not believe that You Yue has the ability to see through Zhou Yanzhi's thoughts?"

If it's the former, didn't you yourself show great care and protection for Yanling in every way? You are a man, and you have no family or friends with Yanling, yet you treat her so well. What's wrong with me, as a woman, liking her?

If it is the latter, then there is no need to explain further. Zhou Yanzhi is cunning and opportunistic, and anyone with eyes can see that.

Even if it were Prince Yan, wouldn't he know that Prince Yan was full of tricks?

I just felt that he had no background or support, so even if I let him be, he wouldn't cause much trouble.

But sometimes, it is these seemingly insignificant people who can play a crucial role behind the scenes in important matters.

"Sir, do you think You Yue is right?"

For the first time in his life, Xie Wei was speechless because of a young woman.

He only said one sentence, and she had so many more to say in response. This competitive spirit was somewhat similar to Jiang Xuening's!

Xie Wei lowered his eyes, clasped his hands together, and twirled his thumbs around: "I hope what you said is the truth."

"Sir, please rest assured. If I harbor any ill intentions towards Prince Yan, I will make sure he dies a horrible death." Chu Yuan was ruthless enough. She wasn't Jiang Xue Ning; she had no time to play cat-and-mouse games with Xie Wei.

Surrender as soon as possible, and everything will be fine.

For the rest of the journey, the two closed their eyes to rest, neither saying a word.

Noticing that the carriage had slowed down, Chu Yuan opened her eyes and thanked the master, "This student thanks you for seeing me off, sir."

Xie Wei didn't even lift his eyelids. After Chu Yuan got out of the carriage, he instructed the driver to turn around and leave.

Standing at the door watching his carriage drive away, Chu Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief. She patted her cheeks to calm herself down and jogged back to her own courtyard.

You Fangying was looking for her with the account book in her arms, and the two bumped into each other.
