Chapter 185: The White Lotus Cousin in Ancient Chinese Literature (14)
When they saw the people in the private room, their smiles froze at the same time.
Cui Yue frowned. Why was Su Yu here too?
Lin Jinse was uneasy.
When Lin Jinse saw Cui Ling and another girl alone in a room, her heart couldn't help but tighten.
Judging from the layout of the private room and the items on the table, there should have been a third person present. If nothing unexpected happens, it must be the eldest prince who just left.
But knowing it in your heart is one thing, and seeing it with your own eyes is another.
That cousin was so beautiful. Not the kind of bright and aggressive beauty, but the kind of beauty that was gentle and tolerant like water, which made people fall in love with her unconsciously.
Is it true that Brother Han Zhang is not moved?
Lin Jinse maintained a cold and noble expression, and only she knew the fear in her heart.
While she was observing Su Yu, Su Yu was also observing her.
She was wearing a light blue dress and a gauze top that looked like light smoke and mist hovering over the azure lake, making her pretty face look even more ethereal. The expression on her face was very similar to Cui Ling's usual self.
It's a pity that it only has the form but not the spirit.
It only shows the coldness on the surface, but fails to reveal Cui Ling's inner character.
If you think about it carefully, you can understand that character is something that everyone has his or her own style and it is not something that can be learned easily, but it just looks a bit awkward.
If the eldest prince were here, he would definitely sneer at me and say I am trying to imitate someone else.
It was a pity that he was not there, and Su Yu couldn't figure out what was wrong.
While I was thinking, two people had already walked in.
Su Yu stood up and greeted: "Cousin, Miss Lin."
Cui Yue hummed and looked at her critically: "Why are you here?"
Su Yu had a very good temper and answered every question: "Today, I went out with Zitong to buy some rouge. Unexpectedly, I saw my cousin and the eldest prince when I passed by, so I came up to say hello."
Su Yu had prepared herself for Cui Yue's ridicule, but after hearing it, she just curled her lips and said indifferently, "Oh."
Even Lin Jinse glanced at her inconspicuously, with a hint of surprise in her cold eyes.
Did Cui Yue not want to ridicule? Of course not.
She just learned her lesson and didn't dare to say a word in front of Cui Ling.
Cui Yue didn't say anything, so Lin Jinse had to speak up. She stood up and said, "What a coincidence, Yue'er and I thought the same thing."
She turned her gaze to Cui Ling again and asked tentatively, "Will it not disturb Brother Hanzhang?"
Cui Ling answered irrelevantly and said calmly: "It was Su Yu who agreed for you to come here."
If it were him, he would have no time to hide.
Lin Jinse's expression froze: "Is that so? Thank you Miss Su."
I could tell that the thank you wasn't that sincere.
Su Yu shook her head and said no, then she gently asked the maid to serve tea and asked the two to sit down first. She looked like the host, which made Lin Jinse feel uncomfortable.
In fact, Su Yu didn't really mean that. Cui Ling had been silent, and she couldn't just watch the two of them standing there.
Alas, the male protagonist is so disobedient that it makes people worry about him.
"Sister Lin, let's go over there." Cui Yue didn't think much and pulled Lin Jinse towards the table.
Lin Jinse's footsteps became heavier and heavier.
When she reached Su Yu, she suddenly stopped and said, "Miss Su, can we change seats?"
As soon as these words came out, the three of them looked at her at the same time.
Lin Jinse also felt that her behavior was inappropriate, but the anxiety and fear in her heart kept driving her to do so.
Su Yu gave her a greater sense of crisis than any other woman who had ever admired Cui Ling.
Su Yu had no objection.
Regardless of whether she was a helpless orphan or a tasker, she would not refuse Lin Jinse's request.
She blinked helplessly: "Okay, okay."
Just as I was about to stand up, my wrist was suddenly grabbed.
Cui Ling pushed Su Yu to sit down: "The seats are the same, it will only cause trouble if we keep switching."
What does it mean to add trouble?
Lin Jinse's face turned pale: "Brother Hanzhang, do you think I'm troublesome?"
Su Yu: “???”
Cui Yue: “???”
Cui Yue quickly came out to smooth things over: "Sister Lin, why would brother mean that? He just thinks changing positions is troublesome, not you. Don't think too much about it."
Su Yu nodded: "Yes, yes."
Lin Jinse looked in Cui Ling's direction: "Brother Hanzhang..."
Su Yu tugged at Cui Ling's sleeve and winked at him.
The atmosphere was deadlocked for a long time. Cui Ling glanced sideways, and in the face of Su Yu's pleading eyes, he finally nodded out of mercy.
Cui Yue breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled Lin Jinse to sit down, intentionally letting her sit opposite Cui Ling.
He sat down facing Su Yu.
When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous of each other.
Although this enemy was only considered unilaterally by Cui Yue.
She glared at Su Yu slightly, little vixen.
Don't think that she couldn't see the subtle atmosphere between her and her brother. Cui Yue really didn't expect that such a noble and upright person like her brother would actually like a woman like Su Yu.
His eyes unconsciously fell on the lovely face opposite him.
Even a picky and spoiled person like Cui Yue had to admit that her niece Su Yanyun was indeed pretty.
But with Sister Lin around, she had to give up the idea of becoming the legal wife.
Cui Yue asked the maid to remove the leftovers from the table and ordered a few new dishes.
"Sister Lin, the almond peanut butter at Zhenwei Pavilion is delicious. You should try it."
Su Yu also got a share.
The taste is really good, silky and delicate. The mellowness of almonds and peanuts is neutralized by the fragrance of milk, transforming into another exceptionally sweet taste. Osmanthus honey is also added to make it rich and fragrant.
"Miss Lin, try it. It tastes really good."
Cui Yue and Su Yu tried to ease the atmosphere, and the sadness and resentment in Lin Jinse's eyes barely faded a little.
Cui Ling hasn't said much since Lin Jinse came in.
Cui Yue was the one talking the whole time, Lin Jinse responded, and Su Yu occasionally agreed.
Unconsciously, the matter of going to Huguo Temple in the near future was mentioned. Lin Jinse suddenly had an idea and threw the topic to Cui Ling: "Will Brother Hanzhang go to Huguo Temple that day?"
Cui Yue answered for him: "Brother was on a day off that day, so of course he went."
Lin Jinse smiled beautifully: "What a coincidence, my mother and I will be there that day, maybe we can meet again."
Huguo Temple?
Su Yu raised her eyebrows. What a coincidence?
"How could such a coincidence happen? My aunt told me yesterday that she wanted me to go to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings on her behalf. It turns out that my cousin and Miss Lin will both go."
Su Yu remembers this trip to Huguo Temple.
In the original plot, the hero was stabbed in the temple and seemed to be injured. After that, the heroine often visited him, asked about his well-being, and gradually warmed and melted his unattainable and cold heart.
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Su Yu felt that after she said this, the heroine’s expression became a little uglier.
If you think about it, you can understand it.
No matter who you are, you don’t want your date with your loved one to be disturbed by another woman.
But Su Yu could only say sorry.
She had a hunch that after this trip to the Huguo Temple, she could start preparing to get rid of the male protagonist.
