Chapter 382: The credit of Dr. Jin?
"Um...I, I didn't mean it."
"Oh my god, I really didn't mean it. I really didn't know she was Guo Lu, otherwise I would never have said it to her face. I really didn't know."
"Guo Lu...you said you were fine, why did you change your face? It must be that old man's medicine. Even your voice has changed. How can I recognize you?"
"Oh, that damn old man really killed me."
Jin Congcong ran to the tree where Cen Bei was hiding and turned around anxiously: "Cen Bei, listen to my explanation. I really didn't mean to reveal your thoughts. I just wanted to comfort you, but I didn't expect that I would push you to the edge of the cliff."
"You haven't even started pursuing her yet and I've already... If she rejects you properly, it won't be entirely my fault."
"Oh, Ruo'er, what do you say? Can you guys just pretend I didn't say anything?"
"Wow... Cen Bei must be hating me to death right now. How could this guy cause such a huge disaster..."
When Xiao Yulan came back and saw Bu Ruo almost dying of laughter, he patted her on the back and said, "What happened? Why is Doctor Jin circling the tree? Is something stuck there? Can't he climb trees? If all else fails, ask Cen Bei to take it down. He can't keep circling like this."
Bu Ruo couldn't stop laughing when he heard Cen Bei's name, until Jin Congcong came over and looked at him with a resentful face.
"Your Majesty, I...I'm in trouble."
"Do you think Cen Bei would cut my neck in the dead of night? Actually, even if he cut my neck, I can understand it. After all, he ruined someone's marriage. Even if he killed me, I can't say anything. I deserve it."
Xiao Yulan looked at Bu Ruo, who was laughing so hard that tears came out. "Cen Bei was rejected? Is it the credit of the young genius doctor Jin?"
Bu Ruo wiped her tears and shook her head: "I didn't refuse. Cen Bei hadn't even expressed his feelings yet, but this idiot exposed his secrets. Look, he's up the cat tree again."
"Hahaha, but this is also good. This way, we Cen Bei won't have to be sneaky when doing good things in the future."
Xiao Yulan: ...
"Cen Bei and Cen Nan have different personalities. Cen Nan is an extrovert. He told me the moment he was sure he liked Bi'er. But Cen Bei has been in love with Guo Lu for such a long time and didn't dare to say it. It was only I who saw it myself."
"He didn't admit it at first, but he got anxious when I told him to let Ruo'er marry Guo Lu off to someone else."
Bu Ruo looked at Guo Lu's flushed face and patted her hands with a smile: "Actually, Cen Bei is quite good. Although he looks a little dull, one good thing about this kind of person is that he never falls in love easily, and once he does, it's hard to change."
"Oh, you don't have to be embarrassed. You'll get married sooner or later. Even if it doesn't work out in the end, you're not enemies, right? Don't be like this..."
"Cen Bei, I know you're still in the tree. As your master, I've thought about something and I think I should tell you in advance, so you won't accuse me of being partial to you."
When Bu Ruo saw movement in the tree, he knew that he must be listening with his ears perked up.
"Actually, I wasn't going to tell you about this at first. I was going to let things take their own course and see what you guys choose, but... since this idiot has already exposed it, I might as well tell you about it."
"Guo Lu's relationship is indeed not one-on-one, but one-on-two. One is you, and the other... is my second senior brother."
"Don't be shaken by that guy in the tree. You heard it right. He's the ruler of Nanxia Country, my second senior brother Shi Yongyan."
"Originally, we were going to Nanxia on this trip. My second senior brother fell in love with Guo Lu. It wasn't love at first sight. He saw Guo Lu when she was a child when he was on a diplomatic mission to Beining."
"That's the thing. This princess can see that her emotional connection lies with you two, but the specific one is still unclear. Cen Bei, this princess has opened a backdoor for you in advance."
"You know, a person's future will change based on their choices, but no matter what you three choose, your future won't be bad. That means even if Guo Lu chooses you, my second brother's future partner won't be bad, and the same goes for you. So, don't feel burdened."
"And you, Lulu, don't feel burdened. You can't force love. Just follow your heart and don't worry about anything else."
"Okay, there's no need for you to guard here, go and rest, let's go."
Bu Ruo pulled Xiao Yulan into the house seriously. As soon as he closed the door, he turned around and leaned against the door to look out through the crack.
"Guo Lu glared at that idiot Jin Congcong and then turned and walked away... She looked like she wanted to eat that idiot up."
"Hey? Hey hey hey? Cen Bei is chasing after him. Oh, this Cen Bei is really making me anxious. What's the point of following him secretly? Guo Lu doesn't even know about it."
"Look at your subordinate. I've made my words so clear, but he still refuses to confess his feelings even though the back door is practically open. Really... I'll have to ask Cen Nan to teach him a lesson someday. When will he be able to find a wife?"
Xiao Yulan held Bu Ruo in his arms and leaned against the crack of the door to watch together: "I think it would be better for you to comfort the young doctor Jin first. He is standing there and is about to cry."
Bu Ruo snorted: "It's not comforting, he deserves it. Let him say whatever he wants without anyone watching over him."
"Actually, this is quite good. From what I know about Jin Congcong, he must be blaming himself terribly right now, fearing that Cen Bei will be rejected because of him. So, he will definitely help Cen Bei during this period of time."
"Hmm... I just don't know if it will be more of a hindrance than a help."
Xiao Yulan tapped Bu Ruo's forehead and smiled lovingly, "Didn't you say you wouldn't interfere in their lives? Why can't you help yourself now?"
Bu Ruo pouted and said, "I won't interfere with people who have nothing to do with me. But isn't Cen Bei one of us? Uh... although my second senior brother is also one of us, I know him well. Even if he is rejected, he will be able to get over it quickly."
"But Cen Bei is different. He keeps everything to himself. Although he doesn't show it on his face, this kind of person is the most affectionate. Once he's moved, it's hard for him to let go. So...actually, I'm still biased. Sigh, I feel really sorry for my second senior brother."
Xiao Yulan looked at Bu Ruo's tangled expression and picked her up: "You have to think about it this way, if Cen Bei and Guo Lu are engaged, then your second brother won't be interested in her, right?"
Bu Ruo: ...
"You seem to have some truth in what you said. Well, let's just let things take their own course. I asked Guo Lu, and she said she doesn't like taciturn people like Cen Bei. She prefers lively and talkative people... Unfortunately, my second senior brother is like that."
