Chapter 323 Ning An Ru Meng: You Yue is no longer stupid 27

Chu Yuan suddenly smiled, "Are you afraid of me?"

"Huh?" Yan Ling shook her head. "No, why would I be afraid of you?"

I like it so much that I want to devour it whole.

He was afraid that he might be reckless and scare her away, so he didn't dare to get close.

Even now, her unique fragrance wafts into the carriage, a sweet but not cloying scent, like peach petals on a branch in March.

Yanling took a deep breath instinctively.

When he stopped moving, he saw Chu Yuan pat the soft couch next to her, "It's so cold, can you sit next to me?"

"Okay, sure," the boy readily agreed.

Chu Yuan smiled and waited until the other person sat down. She then reached out and intertwined her fingers with his. "I'm going home soon. Are you doing this on purpose, by keeping such a distance from me?"

Yan Ling turned her head, looked at her, and opened her lips but no sound came out.

How could it be intentional? On the contrary, it was because he couldn't bear to let go that he restrained himself from getting close.

Their eyes met, as if an electric current was passing between them.

The surrounding air seemed to gradually become hot.

Everything happened so naturally. The moment their lips touched, Yan Ling's floating heart finally settled down. He still remembered the failed confession he made to Jiang Xue Ning, and every time he thought about it, his heart ached.

At this moment, savoring the sweetness of the dream, all the pain is soothed.

He murmured softly, "Ah Yue, there are only five days left."

"Yes." Chu Yuan knew he was referring to the coming-of-age ceremony.

Yan Ling had always wanted to arrange her marriage with Jiang Xue Ning at her coming-of-age ceremony.

Today, the coming-of-age ceremony is still the same, but the person one wants to be engaged to might change.

Chu Yuan suddenly pounced on Yan Ling and lightly bit her lip. "You two have been having an affair. Have you thought about taking responsibility for me?"

Yan Ling immediately stood up from the couch and knelt in the middle of the carriage: "In this life, I, Yan Ling, will marry no one but A Yue!"

Chu Yuan was satisfied and smiled as she pulled him up. "Alright then, when you meet my father and mother later, you can give them a little hint. Otherwise, they're currently looking for someone for me, and if I run into someone they don't like, you'll be crying."

Yan Ling was very nervous upon hearing this, "Then I'll tell the driver to hurry up!"

She only regretted that she could immediately dissuade Lady Qingyuan from arranging a marriage for Chu Yuan!

Before long, they arrived at the You residence.

As soon as the two got off the carriage and walked to the hanging flower gate, they saw Madam You fiercely questioning You Fangying, "Tell me the truth, where did Yue'er go?!"

These days I've noticed that Yue'er is acting more and more strangely. First, she told me for no reason not to bother you, and then she begged me to change your courtyard. She's really treating you like the third young lady of the You family.

You are a worthless child born of a lowly concubine, do you even deserve to be called one?

I think you must have cast some kind of spell on Yue'er, making her completely bewitched and think of you in every way!

If you don't tell the truth today, I'll have Granny Lai go and find a Taoist priest to perform a ritual. Then it will be clear whether you're a human or a ghost!

Yu Fangying remembered Chu Yuan's words and avoided seeing Madam Yu.

But at that moment, her arm was being held tightly by Lai's mother, who even secretly pinched it a few times, causing her excruciating pain. There was no way to escape.

No matter how much Madam You threatened her, You Fangying didn't say a word more, only saying, "Second Sister said she went to her study companion's house, so she went to her study companion's house. If Madam doesn't believe it, she can wait for Second Sister to come back and ask her."

Like a rock in a latrine, smelly and hard.

Madam You was furious. She gave Lai's mother a meaningful look and was about to teach You Fangying a lesson.

Just then, Chu Yuan spoke up, "Mother, what's going on now?"

"How dare you ask? Staying out all night, is that how a proper young lady behaves? Your father came back last night and asked where you went. I stammered and couldn't give a clear answer, which made him so angry that he immediately lost his temper and told me that if I saw you today, I must lock you in your room and not let you go anywhere. He'll definitely interrogate you when he gets back!"

Madam You spoke rapidly, but when she turned around, she found a handsome young man standing next to Chu Yuan.

Who in the capital hasn't witnessed the charisma of Prince Yan?

Madam You recognized him instantly, but the words of reproach stuck in her throat, and she almost choked. "Cough cough... Yue'er, how come Prince Yan is with you?"

Chu Yuan ignored Madam You and stepped forward to rescue You Fangying from Granny Lai's clutches, asking with concern, "Fangying, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

You Fangying's eyes sparkled. She didn't blame Chu Yuan for returning late and causing her to be punished. On the contrary, because she was rescued in time, she regarded Chu Yuan as a god.

The second sister used to help the madam bully her.

Now, this second sister is wise and intelligent. With her around, no one can bully her!

You Fangying touched her arm, but didn't feel any pain at all. She just stood there and smiled foolishly.

Chu Yuan sighed helplessly, lifted her sleeve to take a look, and saw that there were only a few red spots and nothing serious, so she was relieved.

"Go back and bring all the money you've earned these past few days," Chu Yuan said, gesturing with her lips.

You Fangying asked nothing and said nothing, then turned around and obediently left.

Chu Yuan then looked at Madam You, "Mother, did we originally receive guests at the Chuihua Gate in our mansion?"

The latter then realized what was happening and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I was so happy that I forgot all about the proper etiquette. Young Master Yan, please come to the flower hall."

As she spoke, she winked at Granny Lai, urging her to bring the best tea in the mansion.

"It's rare for Prince Yan to come all this way, so the Earl bought quite a lot of this year's new tea from the storeroom. He'll brew some for Prince Yan to drink." He added, still concerned.

Granny Lai left quickly.
