Chapter 773: The Mermaid (36)

It's best to wear these shoes less often in the future, since the little mermaid's skin is already too delicate. After a long night of running around, Gu Chuan finally returned to his room to rest. He was very happy, because this meant that the little mermaid would be marked by him in the future, and would be his fiancée. There was no escaping it.

Wen Wan slept very well that night.

When I woke up the next day, it was already bright outside. I went downstairs and found Gu Chuan talking on the phone.

Auntie brought breakfast to Wen Wan, and Wen Wan ate while playing with her smart device.

Goodness, so many messages, from friends and netizens. When Wen Wan went online, she found that the news of her engagement to Gu Chuan had firmly occupied the top spot on the trending searches.

And all five points are related to this engagement banquet.

Wen Wan's live streaming account also saw a surge in followers.

Being too popular and famous can also be a burden.

Wen Wan was enjoying her engagement gossip immensely, and looking at the praise-filled essays, she felt inexplicably happy.

After Gu Chuan finished his call, he reached out and pinched Wen Wan's soft cheek. "What are you looking at so happily?"

Wen Wan: "I didn't see anything."

"Don't you have to go to work today?"

Gu Chuan chuckled, "My fiancée, your fiancé just got engaged yesterday, can't you take a few days off to spend time with your fiancée?"

Wen Yan: "..."

"Isn't this all fake? Why are you taking it so seriously?"

Gu Chuan: "..."

Gu Chuan leaned close to Wen Wan's ear and whispered something suggestive.

"Only when you believe it's true and deceive yourself can you deceive others."

Wen Wan blushed with embarrassment, while the aunt on the side couldn't stop laughing.

The general and the young lady are such a well-matched couple; they look so pleasing to the eye.

...

Meanwhile, as Wen Wan had predicted, the king indeed became interested in Lin Ying and began to investigate in secret. He confirmed that Lin Ying's deceased mother was actually the nanny who had taken care of the queen back then.

He then underwent a DNA test, which confirmed that he had no blood relation with Lan Huan, but was biologically related to Lin Ying. This proved that Lin Ying was his biological daughter, while Lan Huan was the nanny's daughter.

However, the king did not expose it immediately, but instead summoned Lin Ying from time to time.

The gossip about the real princess and the fake princess has left everyone stuffed.

Lan Ya comes to Wen Wan every day to complain about this matter. Although it's just complaining, it's still a royal scandal. But Lan Ya talks about it quite happily, which shows that she really dislikes that fake sister.

"No wonder I've never liked her. It's just how she is. She's not my blood sister. She's definitely one of those people who usurp other people's places."

"Let's see if she dares to target me again."

Wen Wan and Lan Ya learned a lot at the same time. This fake princess Lan Huan was quite shrewd. On the one hand, she flattered the king and showed off her excellence. On the other hand, she directly exposed her marriage to General Qin Yuan.

If Gu Chuan is the number one person in the empire, then Qin Yuan is the second. Qin Yuan often fights with Gu Chuan, but he can never win. His father is an important minister of the empire and is deeply loved by the king.

Therefore, since the two were in love, the king could not possibly abandon his daughter, Lan Huan.

Therefore, she remained a princess, but the king would not allow his bloodline to be scattered outside. Moreover, Lin Ying was quite promising, with a mental strength of 2s. The king thought that if Lin Ying had lived by his side, she would definitely be much better than she is now. Therefore, he quickly brought Lin Ying back to the palace and adopted her as his goddaughter.

Actually, that's not true. After all, anyone with eyes can see that Lin Ying is the real princess, while Lan Huan is the fake one.

But that doesn't matter, because Lan Huan is more useful than Lin Ying.

The public debate surrounding the real and fake princesses suppressed the rumors about Wen Wan and Gu Chuan, since those rumors were more sensational. This was actually beneficial for Wen Wan, as it reduced a lot of trouble for her.

Lin Ying's status at the military academy rose rapidly.

However, the troubles behind the scenes were no less. But with Chen Yuan around, he kept coming to the rescue, exposing Lan Huan's schemes one after another, winning Lin Ying's favor, and exposing Lan Huan. In the end, the marriage with the Qin family was called off, and he was sent abroad. Lin Ying, because she was too outstanding, slowly became the king's favorite daughter.

All of this is happening very quickly; in just a few months, the situation has changed several times.

Because of Lin Ying, Chen Yuan also caught the king's eye. This was partly due to absorbing Wen Wan's luck. Now, Chen Yuan's mental strength has reached 2S. It's unimaginable how shocking this is. After all, when he first entered the military academy, his mental strength was only A-level. In less than a year, he has directly jumped to the 2S level. This growth rate is unprecedented and unparalleled. It's terrifying to the extreme.

There are even many rumors that it will surpass Gu Chuan's legendary status.

Wen Wan spat.

Originally, all of this was within her expectations, but Wen Wan was still very angry when she saw those remarks that belittled Gu Chuan.

Compared to Gu Chuan, Chen Yuanpei is like a toad compared to a swan.

He started using over a dozen alternate accounts to flame each other, getting angrier the busier he got, until finally he had the system access the other person's network and disconnect them from the internet, deleting their account.

This move completely wiped out a group of online trolls.

And the other party didn't even know why, which was absolutely terrifying.

Wen Wan's life after that consisted of attending military academy classes, live streaming, having meals with Gu Chuan, and acting to fool the old man, etc. In short, she lived a very comfortable life. Later, Chen Yuan was elected as the student president of the junior and senior years and completed a military academy S-level mission, directly becoming the most outstanding person in the military academy. He and Lin Ying also became a recognized couple. Although they had not officially announced it, everyone knew about it.

He even entered the military headquarters ahead of schedule.

He became Gu Chuan's subordinate.

When Wen Wan found out, she was on high alert. Could it be that Chen Yuan wanted to absorb the male lead's luck?

So Wen Wan resolutely followed Gu Chuan around at all times, never leaving his side.

This ensures that these two will never have a moment alone together.

Gu Chuan seemed to enjoy Wen Wan's clinginess, initially thinking she had finally come to her senses. However, he discovered that his little mermaid seemed to be on guard against something, and in the end, he found out it was because of Chen Yuan.

The general immediately began investigating Chen Yuan, and the investigation revealed a number of problems. Before entering the military academy, Chen Yuan was an extremely ordinary person with average mental strength, average appearance, and average abilities.

But one day, Chen Yuan suddenly changed. He not only left his hometown, but also got into a military academy. Moreover, he was extremely lucky and met several benefactors. However, when Gu Chuan investigated those who provided help, they were not doing well. Some were disabled for life, some were unsuccessful, some lost everything, and some committed suicide. In short, they were all extremely unlucky. On the contrary, Chen Yuan had a smooth journey.
