The knuckles are long and the base bones are strong.
In comparison, Lu Wan's hands were like a soft cloud, small and delicate.
Seeing that Chen Yan was still indifferent and aloof, Lu Wan suddenly had evil intentions and gently scratched Chen Yan's palm with his fingertips.
The boy tensed up almost instantly, his thin, pale lips tightly pursed.
After Lu Wan got off the carriage, he immediately let go of her hand as if he had been scalded.
But the girl still refused to let him go.
She stood on tiptoe, leaned close to Chen Yan's ear, and said maliciously: "Brother Yan, your ears are red."
The warm breath felt itchy on my exposed skin.
The tips of Shen Yan's ears felt hot, and he could clearly hear Lu Wan's wild laughter in his heart.
He gritted his teeth and said, "...Shut up."
…
…
Lu Wan scored a goal and felt refreshed.
Even when he followed Chen Yan into Rong Fei's Huarong Palace, there was still a cheerful smile on his eyes and eyebrows.
Sitting in the hall was a beautiful sick woman with a graceful figure. She was well maintained and looked to be no more than 20 or 30 years old.
Seeing the two approaching, the beauty raised her head and a smile appeared on her graceful and soft face: "Did something happy happen today that makes you smile so happily?"
This is Concubine Rong.
Lu Wan didn’t dare to say that it was because I had just teased Shen Yan, she trotted over and leaned against Rong Fei intimately and acted coquettishly: “Because I saw the queen today, I am very happy!”
Rong Fei nodded her forehead helplessly and scolded her with a smile: "You little girl, you are always good at acting cute."
Only then did Shen Yan bow meticulously and say, "My Lady."
The young man was tall and handsome, and there was no other man of marriageable age in the entire capital who was better than him.
Rong Fei looked at her godson with satisfaction. After asking someone to find a seat for him, she went straight to the point without any hurry, "Wan Wan is almost seventeen, and Yan Er will be nineteen this year. When should you two put your marriage on the agenda?"
She was clearly smiling, and her voice was soft and gentle, a characteristic of Lunan women. But his tone was filled with the nobility of someone who had long been in a superior position, and an unquestionable sense of oppression.
After these words came out, Shen Yan and Lu Wan were both stunned.
Lu Wan quickly realized that it was her turn to perform!
She pinched her thigh and squeezed out a few pitiful tears, then turned her head to the side with a melancholy and sad expression on her face.
"That's what I thought, but Brother Yan..."
Rong Fei's delicate eyebrows began to knot, and she asked in a serious tone, "What happened to him?"
——"Quick! Tell the queen that you hate me and dislike me, and don't want to have anything to do with me. Even if you have to betray your family today, you must cancel this marriage!"
Shen Yan: “…”
The knuckles under the long sleeves were clenched tightly, the young man's forehead twitched slightly, and he forbearingly adjusted his heavy breathing.
"I know I'm not worthy of Brother Ayan. I'm stupid, spoiled, and ignorant. I can't compare to Master Li's little daughter." A crystal teardrop slid down from the corner of Lu Wan's eyes, ending the performance perfectly. "But my feelings for Brother Ayan are real!"
——"That's not right."
Li Ruyu, the youngest daughter of Li Taifu, is a talented lady famous in the capital. She is sought after by hundreds of families and can be regarded as the gender-reversed version of Chen Yan in the circle of noble ladies.
Lu Wan deliberately mentioned her at this moment, hoping to create a sharp contrast in the minds of Rong Fei and Shen Yan.
——"Your Majesty, please wake up and realize that I am just a pretty face. With Li Ruyu as your example, even a fool should know who to choose. Shen Gou is usually quite good at confronting me, why are you pretending to be dumb now?"
Shen Yan clenched his fist, loosened it, clenched it again, loosened it again, and clenched it again.
Finally, he could no longer bear it and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Yan'er has his own plan for this matter."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone spoke up faster than Lu Wan: "Brother Yan!"
The call of "Brother Yan" was so rhythmic and lingering that Lu Wan felt inferior to him.
The person who came twisted her slender waist and walked towards Chen Yan in a graceful manner.
She glared at Lu Wan fiercely before she said to Chen Yan with great emotion: "Brother Yan, you have suffered. Miaomiao knows that you don't love this woman who wants to repay you with a favor. As long as you say you don't want to, Miaomiao will ask father to cancel your engagement!"
As we all know, in a novel, besides cannon fodder like Lu Wan, there are also many vicious female supporting characters who are deeply in love with the male protagonist.
The one who framed Lu Wan before was Ye Yiyi, and the one who was winking at him was Wei Miao as well.
Wei Miao is the daughter of Concubine Rong and the Emperor, the fifth princess of the current dynasty. Her personality and appearance are nothing like her mother.
Wei Miao deeply loves Chen Yan, so she hates Lu Wan very much and always secretly warns Lu Wan not to have any wishful thinking behind Concubine Rong's back.
In response to Wei Miao's provocation, Lu Wan just wiped her tears and raised the corners of her lips as if forcing a smile, "Greetings to the Fifth Princess."
——"Come on, Princess, do your best to break us up!"
——"Don't just talk, show your dignity as a princess, come on, throw millions of taels of silver bills at me like a storm, don't pity me just because I am a delicate flower!"
"puff."
It was the cold, moon-like, gloomy and indifferent General Shen, who put his hand on his lips and chuckled.
