"It's a pity I'm not her. If I were her, we would have been loving and affectionate by now."

Zhou Cheng stood with one hand behind his back, looking at He Miaoxue with a smile in his eyes.

How could He Miaoxue possibly see the icy frost hidden in those smiling eyes?

She couldn't tell, and even thought Zhou Cheng was smiling at her.

The saying "birds of a feather flock together" is absolutely true.

The reason why He Miaoxue and Lin Jiaoyun became best friends is that their personalities are similar. Lin Jiaoyun is a woman who gets arrogant if she is given a little bit of attention, while He Miaoxue is a two-faced and manipulative woman.

Seeing Zhou Cheng now so spirited, handsome, and exuding the aura of a king, and leading a large army to attack Yan Kingdom, she could no longer suppress the thought hidden in her heart.

Did she really come to Jiangling City to find Zhou Cheng to save her best friend?

She was actually doing it for herself!

Instead of letting my girlfriends benefit from this, I might as well keep it for myself. What if there's a real chance? Zhou Cheng is so powerful now, it's very possible that he'll ascend to the throne!

"Zhou Cheng~~"

"I think I'm starving. I've been walking all this way, I'm so tired, I can barely stand..."

"My head is so dizzy..."

One second He Miaoxue was aggressive, the next she was weak and helpless, falling towards Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng, having thoroughly grasped all these petty tricks, sneered and took a step back.

Bang!

He Miaoxue fell to the ground, scraping her palm.

Her expression froze for a moment as she looked at Zhou Cheng, who remained motionless. The flirtatious look in her eyes vanished. "Zhou Cheng, my hand hurts so much. Can you help me up?"

Zhou Cheng: "......."

Black Rat: "......."

The guard kneeling to the side: "......."

One second they were talking about things in the capital, and the next second they suddenly fainted. The transition was too abrupt.

"What brings you to Jiangling City?" Zhou Cheng was too lazy to waste any more time with He Miaoxue.

He had been tempted by such tricks countless times when he first arrived in the capital three years ago. At that time, the Zhou family was highly valued by Emperor Yan and was specially transferred to the capital. Everyone there was after the Zhou family's power and influence.

How could He Miaoxue not have other thoughts?

"Ah, me? I..." He Miaoxue couldn't keep up the act.

She had no choice but to sit up and said with dissatisfaction, "I came to find you to save Sister Yun."

"Lin Jiaoyun?" Zhou Cheng's sarcasm deepened.

"yes."

He Miaoxue nodded with a kind expression.

Her words were very sophisticated; in one sentence, seven parts were a veiled criticism of Lin Jiaoyun as a promiscuous woman, and three parts were meant to highlight that she herself was a kind and soft-hearted woman.

Moreover, he deliberately chose to say things that were favorable to himself, with every word carrying implications: "Sister Yun is living a miserable life now; she married Young Master Qin."

"Ever since Young Master Qin tasted the new life on his wedding night, he has... well, you know Zhou Cheng."

"I will spend the next few days and nights going to see Sister Yun."

"Sister Yun had no choice. How could a woman like her resist Young Master Qin, who weighs nearly 200 pounds? She said she was in pain but couldn't help but comply, which is... I won't say anymore. Zhou Cheng, you should understand."
