Chapter 771: The Mermaid (34)
Impossible. If she were the student president, Wen Wan would have no reason to refuse the principal. After all, one should fulfill one's duties in a position of power. In order to eat delicious food in the future and no longer drink any nutritional supplements, the support of these military academy students is very simple: just let her stay in the position of student president.
Want to retire? No way.
It's even more impossible for someone to usurp the throne.
So what if Chen Yuan is powerful? Has he brought them any tangible benefits? Besides, isn't Chen Yuan the vice chairman? He's second only to the emperor. What more could they want?
Chen Yuan was extremely depressed.
He didn't understand why things had turned out this way.
"How come Wen Wan's luck is so strong? I've been absorbing it for so long, how can she still stand out like this?"
Luck System: [There's nothing we can do about it. Too many people like her. Her culinary skills are a game-changer in this world. After all, with the advancement of technology in this world, many traditional dishes have long been lost.]
"Then can't you let me take the credit too?"
Luck System: [I can only absorb a person's luck, but this isn't without its advantages for you. The more continuously she generates luck, the more continuously you can absorb it. Eventually, you'll be able to absorb it all; you just need time.]
Chen Yuan: "How long will that take?"
Luck System: [Unknown.]
Chen Yuan: "..."
Just as Chen Yuan was about to break down, Lin Ying arrived. Chen Yuan immediately changed his angry expression back to that of a gentle classmate.
He was disguising himself, and his target was Gu Chuan, using Gu Chuan as a model.
Sure enough, the results were quite noticeable during this period, and Lin Ying's affection for him increased significantly.
"Sakura, what brings you here?"
Lin Ying: "Are you alright? Although you won't become the freshman president this time, everyone has witnessed your abilities, so don't worry about it."
Chen Yuan: "I didn't care. I never wanted to compete for the position of student president. Even if I were vice president, I could still do things for the school and my classmates. It wouldn't affect me at all."
"That's good."
"Sakura, are you worried about me? Thank you, I'm very touched."
Lin Ying nodded.
They left quickly.
Looking at Lin Ying's hot figure, and thinking that she was Gu Chuan's official partner, Chen Yuan felt his heart burning: "System, when will I finally get her? I can't take it anymore."
System: [Don't be impatient, you'll get her soon.]
Chen Yuan: "I will definitely get her, and I will get everything from the male lead. I will stand at the pinnacle of this world, including Wen Wan. Although she makes me very unhappy now, I still like her face and abilities. Can you let me get her?"
Qi Transport System: [...]
How could she have fallen for someone like that? Can't she think of anything else but women?
However, only such people can become one's slaves.
...
On the other hand, Wen Wan had no idea that Chen Yuan not only had feelings for the female lead, but also for her.
The old marshal had someone calculate an auspicious date, perfect for the engagement.
Moreover, the old marshal was almost entirely hands-on in preparing for this engagement, and virtually everyone of high status and position attended.
Wen Wan was extremely nervous.
Even though I know it's fake, it's still an engagement! In my past life, I lived for over twenty years and only ever saw such a grand scene in novels.
She wore a dress tailor-made for her by a top craftsman, along with exquisite jewelry, which was said to be a family heirloom of the Gu family, meant to be passed down to his daughter-in-law. After Gu Chuan's mother passed away, the jewelry had no owner, and it was given to her by the old marshal during their engagement.
Wen Wan was almost scared to death.
This cannot be measured by value.
High heels studded with diamonds.
With makeup done by a top domestic team, looking at the finished product in the mirror, Wen Wan felt as if she were looking at a stranger, and it didn't even feel real.
When Gu Chuan came in, Wen Wan turned to look at him.
Both of them were stunned.
Wen Wan was shocked by Gu Chuan's good looks; he was dressed in a black fitted suit and exuded an air of nobility.
Gu Chuan, looking at how beautiful the person he liked was, suddenly realized that his previous aversion to women might simply be because he couldn't find anyone who suited his tastes better than his little mermaid.
Wen Wan: "Gu Chuan, do I look good?"
Wen Wan twirled around, and her skirt blossomed like a flower.
Gu Chuan: "It looks good."
"That's right."
The engagement banquet began, with Wen Wan holding Gu Chuan's arm. The two looked like a perfect match, like a golden couple.
Wen Wan was a little nervous, and Gu Chuan noticed it.
"Don't be nervous, just stay by my side, I'll take care of everything."
Wen Wan nodded.
After meeting some elders and attending countless social engagements, Wen Wan was pulled away by Lan Ya, who assured her that she wouldn't suffer any losses. Gu Chuan originally didn't want to let her go, but Wen Wan realized that this was not just an engagement banquet, but also a grand social event. Wen Wan didn't want to interfere in Gu Chuan's affairs, so Yu Shu left with Lan Ya.
Lan Ya took her to her group of girlfriends, where they could finally rest, eat some delicious snacks and drink some beverages.
The group of girlfriends watched Lan Ya and Gu Chuan's fiancée. Almost everyone knew that Lan Ya had pursued Gu Chuan, and as her friends, they also knew how much Lan Ya liked Gu Chuan.
When rivals meet, shouldn't they be extremely hostile? Why do they seem to have a pretty good relationship? They don't seem like they're at odds at all.
Lan Ya said with a smile, "My feelings for Gu Chuan are ancient history. I've given up on him now. Someone like him is not someone I can handle. Only someone as delicate and lovely as our A Yuan can touch his icy heart."
Soon, the group of sisters also lowered their guard against Wen Wan. Since the person in question didn't care, they didn't need to either. Besides, they were also very curious about how Wen Wan managed to control General Gu Chuan.
When people are happy, they naturally drink; and when they drink, they naturally become familiar with each other.
Wen Wan's classmates were also invited, and many of them were attending such a big event for the first time, so they were extremely nervous.
Lingzi pulled Haitang along, "Haitang, does this mean A-Yuan has married into a wealthy family?"
Haitang: "A-Yuan herself is from a wealthy family."
Lingzi: "There are so many people! I'm so nervous. We're not going to embarrass A-Yuan, are we?"
Most of the other students were extremely excited. This was General Gu Chuan's engagement banquet! Under normal circumstances, they would never have the chance to attend such an event in their entire lives. Now that they had received an invitation, how could they possibly not come?
Chen Yuan was also invited.
Looking at all this, Chen Yuan's eyes were filled with greed and jealousy.
Is this all Gu Chuan has? It's so enviable. I really want all of this to be mine. Looking at Wen Wan, who is as beautiful as a fairy, Chen Yuan is even more envious of Gu Chuan.
Qi Luck System: [Remember why we came here.]
"I know what's important." They came this time for something even more important: to help Lin Ying be recognized as part of her family.
The King will definitely attend this engagement party.
Once he saw Lin Ying's appearance, he would naturally suspect that Lin Ying was his daughter. There was no other reason, because Lin Ying looked eight parts similar to the deceased queen. This was also Chen Yuan's plan. Lin Ying, as a princess, would become his greatest help.
