Ruan Xinchen understood his thoughts and also understood his hesitation.

After all, they are civilians, and no civilian is willing to be involved in such a big case.

Ruan Xinchen did not force him, but bowed to him and thanked him, "Uncle Liu, thank you."

Liu An hurriedly helped her up, "Miss Xiao, you are too polite. I can't make the decision on this matter. You don't have to thank me."

"You wanted to tell me something, and I have already told you."

Chu Li arranged for Liu An to leave, and then said to Ruan Xinchen: "When he finishes his work in the capital, I will send someone to go to Jiangnan with him to bring Cui'er back."

Ruan Xinchen: "No need, if she is willing, she will come naturally. If she is not willing, forget it, I will think of other ways. She has finally escaped death and is living a good life, so don't disturb her."

Chu Li didn't agree to her, but she had already made up her mind.

If she wanted to come, then that was fine. If she didn't want to come, he would have someone invite her.

"Thank you for your help, it's nothing else, I'm leaving now."

Without waiting for his response, she turned and left.

However, when he reached the door, he was stopped by his lackey Ling Lie.

"Second sister, please stay."

Ruan Xinchen sneered, turned to look at Chu Li and said, "Are you not leaving?"

"Xinchen, I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite dishes. They will be ready soon. Come and sit down. Let's eat before we leave."

Ruan Xinchen took a deep breath and said, "No, I have to eat. Our cooperation can continue."

Chu Li paused while pouring tea, and then said softly, "You can think so."

This is a naked threat.

Ruan Xinchen nodded, "Okay."

She sat down opposite him and took the tea he handed over.

But she didn't drink it.

"By the way, is Xu Moer here?" she suddenly asked with a smile.

Chu Li shook her head gently. "She won't come."

Um?

Ruan Xinchen was stunned for a moment, "You're not coming?"

"Well, I have fulfilled the promise I made to her in the dream. There is no need to bring her here again. I asked someone to send her some extra money to repay her for saving my life."

What?

ah?

Ruan Xinchen was completely confused.

No, she is still waiting to see Xu Moer and Ruan Yihe fight. If you don't let Xu Moer come, how can they fight?

Besides, she still wants to take revenge on Xu Moli. How can she do that if she doesn't come?

Take the money and leave. Why didn't you get such a good opportunity?

Why does that vicious woman Xu Moer have such a good life?

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

"You seem disappointed?"

"Of course, after all..." Ruan Xinchen laughed, "You know, I have a good relationship with her. She is my best 'sister', don't you think?"

Chu Li shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Are we really good sisters?"

Ruan Xinchen smiled but said nothing.

"I remember you said that two women who like the same man are not good sisters. You regard Xu Moer as a good sister because... you have never liked me, right?"

Ruan Xinchen's smile faded and he said coldly, "Yes."

"Really? Oh, then what do you take me for?"

"As brothers, I have always treated you as a brother, but you want to take advantage of me."

"Because we had such a bad start, right?"

Ruan Xinchen nodded again and said, "Forget it. You said you don't like me, but I'm not a mean person. If you don't like me, I naturally won't like you either. Besides, you're my friend's man. I have my moral bottom line. First, I won't take advantage of my brothers, and second, I won't touch my friend's man."

Chu Li almost laughed at her set of moral standards.

I laughed, but I wanted to cry

Isn't it him who created this situation?

Chu Li lowered his head and was speechless for a long time.

He thought about his past life.

In his last life, he had promised Xu Moer.

At that time, he was being chased and forced to jump into a turbulent river. He was washed away by the water and was saved by Xu Moer who was washing clothes by the river.

During the days when she was recuperating at her home, he asked her what she wanted to be thankful for.

She said with a smile, "Why not repay the favor of saving my life with my own body?"

He was stunned for a moment, but then he felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he promised her the marriage on the spot.

At that time, he always thought he liked her.

Later, Xin Chen went to Prince Zhan's mansion to express his congratulations and married his princess.

He had been angry and furious, angry at them for deciding to marry him off while he was unconscious.

Unable to vent his anger on his father and grandmother, he took it out on the overjoyed woman.

He told her that he had someone he loved and promised to marry her.

If an ordinary sister heard such words, she would be afraid that the sky would fall.

But she expressed her understanding and asked him about his story with the person he liked.

After he told her, she was so moved that she cried.

Yu Wo made an agreement with him to be his fake wife.

However, as he got along with her, his heart gradually wandered, and he seemed no longer satisfied with being a fake wife with Xin Chen.

Even so, he always reminded himself that a man's promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold, and since he made a promise, he must fulfill it.

Regardless of the promise to Xu Moer or the promise to Ruan Xinchen.

Later, he took that position and possessed supreme power.

He wanted more and didn't want her to leave.

This caused her to drink the medicine out of frustration.

Only after her death did he understand his own heart.

He was always grateful to Xu Moer, and when he was young, he mistakenly thought it was a love story between a man and a woman.

Later, he kept his promise and failed to see his own heart, or refused to admit his own heart, which led to the ultimate tragedy.

Last year, he married Xu Moer and fulfilled his promise.

This time, he should make up for his regret. He will never be tempted by any woman except Xin Chenzhi.

As for Xu Moer, he would try his best to make any compensation for her except marrying her.

He told Ruan Xinchen his idea, and she found it incredible.

"Are you crazy? Let's not talk about whether the compensation in your dream counts or not. What about you and me? Now you can be my sister, and I can be your cousin's wife, but we don't have a wife. We can't even be brothers. Do you understand?"

Chu Li: "I will be divorced by Ruan Yihe soon, so I will no longer care about your sister."

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

"As for Chu Xuanche..." He paused and sneered, "Do you know him?"

Ruan Xinchen: “…” Are you saying he has a problem with his brain again?

"None of your business."

"I recently found out something. He's a very strange person. He stays at home and rarely goes out. To the people in the mansion, he disappears every now and then. What do you think is going on?"

Ruan Xinchen knew that Chu Xuanche had received a secret order from the emperor, and thought: How could I tell you such a secret?

He disappeared because he was helping the emperor with his work. Since he had received a secret order, he certainly didn't go out through the main gate. Maybe he climbed over the wall and left. It's normal that you don't know.
