“Princess, if it weren’t for me, this wouldn’t have happened.”
Inside the carriage, Wu Wenya spoke apologetically to Li Youran.
Based on her understanding of Li Youran, Wu Wenya knew that Li Youran must have known beforehand that the journey would not be smooth, yet Li Youran still took such a risk to lead her to find Tian Alang, which showed how loyal and considerate Li Youran was.
Wu Wenya rarely appears in public and has always kept a low profile. Firstly, she has long seen through the fact that relationships between people are nothing more than a matter of using and being used, and there is no genuine heart-to-heart communication.
But Li Youran was actually willing to risk being humiliated for her sake, despite having no prior relationship with her. This overturned Wu Wenya's understanding, and for a moment, a different kind of emotion arose in Wu Wenya's heart.
"Miss Wu, please don't take it to heart. This is a misunderstanding between me and Aunt Tian."
Li Youran looked at Wenya and said, suddenly she was very curious about how Miss Wu and Aunt Tian would get along in the future.
"Miss Wu, please don't overthink it. My relationship with Mr. Tian is not as she described."
“Grandma Tian’s son and daughter-in-law died early, and she raised Young Master Tian all by herself. Naturally, she cherishes him very much. Whenever someone gets close to Young Master Tian, he mistakenly thinks that someone is going to take away her grandson, so he has such a strong reaction.”
As Wu Wenya spoke, she lifted the curtain and looked outside. She saw a bustling scene of cars and people, quite lively. She then turned back to Li Youran and continued.
"Although I can understand Aunt Tian's eagerness to protect her grandson, this is not good for Tian Alang. If Tian Alang is indecisive, whoever marries into the Tian family in the future will probably have a hard time."
Li Youran was slightly surprised that Wu Wenya, an unmarried young woman, could see these things so clearly. She couldn't help but admire her inwardly; this young woman truly understood everything, a true visionary.
"Miss Tian, please rest assured, Tian Alang is by no means a weak and spineless person. He has his own ideas and I believe he will protect his wife in the future."
Li Youran increasingly felt that Wu Wenya was different from others. If Tian Alang could obtain such a virtuous and insightful wife, his future life would definitely be wonderful. So he hurriedly explained.
Wu Wenya smiled but didn't say anything.
As the carriage moved forward, Wu Wenya's heart grew increasingly tense. Although she forced herself to muster her courage and pretend to be calm and composed, Wu Wenya, who rarely went out and had little contact with men, felt uneasy and uneasy.
She was planning in her heart how to start the conversation when she met Tian Alang, how to ask the questions she cared about, and how to hint at her feelings to him.
Regardless, Wu Wenya remained steadfast in her belief that happiness was something she had to earn herself, and she was determined to find a husband who would not take concubines and would wholeheartedly cherish her.
When Li Youran and Wenya arrived at the teahouse, Tian Alang was already there, which surprised Li Youran slightly, since they had been traveling at a fast pace the whole way.
Since Tian Alang was faster than them, it's clear that he headed straight for the teahouse after they left, and his speed on the road was no slower than theirs.
"Young Master Tian, this is Miss Tian from the Duke of Huguo's mansion."
Tian Alang originally thought that Li Youran had something to discuss with him, but he did not expect that Li Youran would bring a girl he had never seen before.
Although he was slightly surprised, he still politely greeted Wu Wenya after hearing Li Youran's introduction.
"You two chat for a bit, I'll go out and ask the waiter if they have any new dishes."
Li Youran didn't want to be a third wheel, so she made up an excuse and hurriedly left the private room, leaving only Wu Wenya and Tian Alang behind.
After leaving the private room in the teahouse, Li Youran's pace slowed down. It's no wonder that Li Youran was curious; she was really curious about what Wu Wenya and Tian Alang would talk about, after all, she had never seen such open-minded ancient people before.
Just as Li Youran was torn between whether or not to shamelessly eavesdrop through the crack in the door, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Tang Lei, are you sure you only injured Feng Yu's ribs? Why has it taken so long to recover? And today I heard someone say that the Feng family rushed to the palace to find a royal physician for treatment, and that Feng Yu was in critical condition."
As Liu Zhiyuan spoke, he suddenly lowered his voice.
Li Youran then took two steps toward the private room before hearing Liu Zhiyuan's voice again.
"Should we tell You Ran about this? She'll probably be angry with us if she finds out..."
Hearing this, Li Youran frowned slightly. She really didn't know that Feng Yu's injury was related to Tang Lei. Wasn't it said that Feng Yu was injured at work while catching a thief?
Besides, Jiang Qianqian mentioned a few days ago that Feng Yu only suffered minor injuries and was recuperating at home. Why is he suddenly in critical condition now? What happened in between...?
After an unknown amount of time, Li Youran heard the sound of a cup being placed on the table, followed by Tang Lei's magnetic voice.
"Don't tell You Ran about this until we find out exactly how Feng Yu got injured."
"What exactly did you two do behind my back?"
Hearing Tang Lei say that he wanted to keep it from her, Li Youran suddenly became very angry and kicked the door open with a bang.
There was nothing there.
Li Youran burst through the door, and Liu Zhiyuan hurriedly stood up and reflexively spoke to Li Youran.
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head in shame, not daring to look Li Youran in the eye.
"You should ask Young Master Tang."
Liu Zhiyuan said in a low voice, and Li Youran's gaze fell on Tang Lei, and the anger in her heart flared up.
She considered Tang Lei as one of her own and never hid anything from him. However, Tang Lei secretly did things behind her back and kept them from her. This made Li Youran feel very unfair and betrayed.
"Tang Lei, are you really not going to tell me?"
Tang Lei turned around and met Li Youran's resentful gaze.
He didn't know that Feng Yu was actually so important to Li Youran; he had originally thought that Li Youran disliked Feng Yu.
It's ridiculous. He even tried every means to postpone the engagement, and even thought about abandoning everything and taking her to a distant place. In the end, it was all a joke.
Thinking of this, Tang Lei suddenly snorted coldly.
"Just look at your fiancé, and you'll understand everything."
After saying that, Tang Lei got up and left, leaving Li Youran and Liu Zhiyuan behind.
"You Ran, don't be angry."
For a moment, Liu Zhiyuan didn't know how to comfort Li Youran.
Logically speaking, Tang Lei should have been secretly relieved that he had angered Li Youran, since Tang Lei was his rival in love.
