Chapter 772: The Mermaid (35)
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.
Lin Ying felt somewhat awkward in this situation.
She originally didn't want to come, but Chen Yuan insisted that she come along. She knew that Chen Yuan was pursuing her and that he was a very suitable person, but for some reason, Lin Ying felt that something was missing from Chen Yuan. She didn't feel her heart race when she saw him.
"Sakura, in my heart you are no less than these noble ladies. In my heart you are unique and the best."
Lin Ying blushed slightly. "Don't say anything, there are people around."
Chen Yuan grabbed Lin Ying's hand. Lin Ying subconsciously tried to pull away, but she didn't. While admiring Lin Ying's slender hand, Chen Yuan looked at General Gu Chuan, who was chatting with others in the center.
His eyes held a hint of excitement.
Look, your woman is in my hands. Lin Ying is your official partner, but soon she will belong to me.
Then he looked at Wen Wan, who was as beautiful as a fairy. One day in the future, Wen Wan would be his. Chen Yuan didn't know where his confidence came from. If Wen Wan knew, she would probably beat him to a pulp.
What kind of feudal dynasty is this, still fantasizing about having three wives and four concubines?
And then, the main event arrived: the king arrived.
As the Imperial Marshal who made the greatest contribution to the country, Gu's father was naturally second only to the emperor. It can be said that the king was able to secure his position thanks to the old marshal's strong support back then.
Therefore, the Gu family's fortunes also rose accordingly.
However, Wen Wan knew that the old emperor was not a grateful person. In fact, he felt that because Gu's father and Gu Chuan were too dazzling, the whole empire knew about the Gu family. This was a mountain weighing on him. As long as the Gu family existed, countless people would say that the king's position was obtained through the Gu family. They wondered whether the king's surname was Lan or Gu.
So later, Chen Yuan was cultivated. After the old marshal died in battle, the Gu family collapsed. The old king quickly seized power without showing any human kindness. He was extremely cold and heartless.
The person accompanying the king was none other than the legendary fake princess. She had a smile on her face, but the way she looked at Wen Wan carried some indescribable emotions.
Gu Chuan led Wen Wan to greet them and then bowed.
The king praised the two men out of politeness, and then went to chat with the old marshal. The king was a man who was good at pretending, and he had to say such things. After all, no matter how unhappy he was with Gu Jia in his heart, he had to put on a friendly appearance on the surface.
"Brother Gu Chuan, I didn't expect you to actually get engaged. Your wife is so cute, you two are such a perfect match."
Gu Chuan: "Yes, thank you."
She was quite polite, but Wen Wan still caught the fleeting distortion in her face.
Lan Ya quickly came over and pulled Wen Wan away, clearly not wanting Wen Wan to say another word to that woman.
“Ah Yuan, you have to be careful. This Lan Huan is no good. She’s all sweet talk and daggers. And you don’t know, she also likes your Gu Chuan. If I liked Gu Chuan back then, it was openly stated, but Lan Huan did it secretly. There was even a time when I invited Brother Gu Chuan to celebrate my birthday, but I ended up being poisoned and passed out. She was the one who entertained Brother Gu Chuan the whole time. I don’t believe she didn’t have her ways.”
Wen Wan: "Is it that scary?"
This melon is amazing.
Unexpectedly, this fake princess turned out to be this kind of person. However, looking at Lin Ying next to Chen Yuan, Wen Wan was genuinely curious about what Lan Huan would think after the truth about the real and fake princesses was exposed.
She really seemed to be watching a show.
As for whether or not to stop this from happening, Wen Wan said there was no way, after all, the female lead's face looked exactly like her deceased mother's, and it was bound to be discovered sooner or later.
Wen Wan's gaze kept drifting towards Chen Yuan.
Then we wait for today's grand show to begin.
As expected, the event quickly unfolded. Initially, Lin Ying and Lan Huan bumped into each other for some unknown reason. Lan Huan stared at Lin Ying's face in shock and then began to harass her, trying to kick her out. At this moment, Chen Yuan came to her rescue, putting on a show of defiance against authority, which successfully attracted the attention of the banquet attendees. In the end, Chen Yuan even took Lin Ying to the king to demand an explanation, since even the emperor is subject to the same laws as commoners.
Then the king saw Lin Ying's face and was completely stunned.
Even the marshal on the side, and a few people who had seen Princess Lan Huan's mother, the deceased queen, were stunned.
It's so similar! This little girl looks just like the Empress from back then.
"May I have your name?"
Lin Ying: "Lin Ying."
The King: "Are you also a student at the First Military Academy?"
The principal of the First Military Academy came over, introduced the student, and praised him highly.
Even the king was somewhat moved when he learned that Lin Ying actually had a 2s level of mental strength.
Then he verbally reprimanded Lan Huan and rewarded Lin Ying with a lot of things.
As for Chen Yuan, he also received some praise.
It seems that the family reunion is probably about to be completed.
Wen Wan was engrossed in gossiping, her face practically screaming "gossip," when Gu Chuan pulled her aside, startling her.
"Didn't you make any footsteps?"
Gu Chuan: "You're too focused. Today is your engagement, why are you so interested in other people?"
Wen Wan: "Gossiping is in the nature of the little mermaid."
"What are you gossiping about?"
Wen Wan, "You know, do you have any inside information to tell me?"
Gu Chuan: "No, are you hungry? Go have some small cakes, I've prepared a lot of your favorites for you."
"Really? Thank you."
Wen Wan quickly went to eat the cake. After so long, she was really a little hungry. Although eating melon was important, this melon was obviously not ripe yet, so eating something else was more important.
The engagement party lasted a long time. When it ended, Wen Wan was carried home by Gu Chuan because she had fallen asleep in the car and didn't even react when he picked her up.
I declined the aunt's help and let her go home after get off work.
Gu Chuan carried the little mermaid back to the room, then personally helped her wash her face and feet. Seeing that the little mermaid's feet were rubbed red by her shoes, Gu Chuan frowned and went to find some medicine to apply.
It's best to wear these shoes less often in the future, since the little mermaid's skin is already too delicate. After a long night of running around, Gu Chuan finally returned to his room to rest. He was very happy, because this meant that the little mermaid would be marked by him in the future, and would be his fiancée. There was no escaping it.
