"Sir, Chunhua is waiting for you outside the courtyard."
Chunhua consciously stayed outside the courtyard with the servant, leaving space for the former loving couple.
"Qingyin, you are finally willing to see me."
Although Liu Wuquan was surprised by Sophie's unusual outfit, it did not stop him from confessing his endless longing for her these days.
Sophie quickly folded the folding fan in her hand and placed it on Liu Wuquan's shoulder before he could get close. She then extended her other hand in front of him.
"Ayin, what do you mean?"
Liu Wuquan was a little confused.
"Pay me back! Besides that soft spot, do you also like to eat soft food?"
Sophie acted bossy and arrogant, bringing her domineering personality to the extreme.
Liu Wuquan was extremely annoyed by her blunt words, but he couldn't vent his anger.
On the surface, she was still the high-ranking eldest daughter of the Lin family, while he was just a wishful climber who wanted to get close to the rich and powerful. The reason he didn't take advantage of the situation and make their elopement public was partly because he was afraid she would use the opportunity to expose his shame.
He had finally managed to coax the golden phoenix back home. To avoid further complications, he wanted to make it a done deal as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, he failed miserably.
It’s really fucked up!
"Mr. Liu, are you trying to keep my valuables for yourself and not return them?"
Sophie covered her mouth with her hands and looked incredulous.
"Lin Qingyin, do you think I, Liu, am such a greedy person?"
Liu Wuquan was heartbroken, and Sophie nodded her head like pounding garlic.
"Lin Qingyin, you!"
Liu Wuquan was speechless for a moment.
The reason why he chose Lin Qingyin from among the thousands of admirers was indeed because of the power of the Lin family behind her. He had originally thought that after completely winning Lin Qingyin's heart, he would take the opportunity to seek an official position, but he never expected to hear the news that she was married to Helian Jin.
Who is this Helian Jin?
The second prince of the current emperor Lingyuan, had made great military achievements at a young age. After he came of age, he was conferred the title of King of Beiming and was given the Beiming Palace.
On the other hand, Liu Wuquan, a mere unknown young man, how could he compare with such a prominent person?
Seeing his plan fail, he had to spend extra effort to show his courtesy to Lin Qingyin. Lin Qingyin was beautiful but not smart, so she naturally couldn't see through his plan.
However, fate plays tricks on us.
All his plans ended up in vain.
"Liu Wuquan, if you really like those jewels, I will give them to you. We are sisters, so just consider it as a gift from me."
Sophie's careless words were like a sharp blade, peeling off Liu Gongquan's last fig leaf.
Fuck you, we are sisters, this is too much!
Liu Wuquan was so angry that he lost the mood to please.
"Lin Qingyin, today I will prove to you what it means to be dignified and imposing!"
He rushed towards Sophie with a ferocious look on his face.
Wow, are you planning to tear each other apart and force yourself on me?
Sophie smiled and dodged sideways nimbly.
Liu Wuquan was caught off guard and tripped over the suddenly extended instep of the foot.
"Liu Wuquan, ah Liu Wuquan, I, Lin Qingyin, was blind to fall for a smooth-talking, gigolo like you. I hope you will reflect on your actions in the future, let go of those ignorant girls in the capital, and never do such despicable tricks again. If there is a next time, don't blame me for being merciless!"
After saying that, Sophie stepped over his back and walked towards the backyard gate.
"Lin Qingyin, just wait for me! Sooner or later, I will repay you a hundredfold for the humiliation you inflicted on me today!"
"Tsk, so noisy."
Sophie walked out the door, fanning herself without looking back.
[Ding! The host successfully punished the villain Liu Wuquan, kindness value +5.]
5 points? That's really stingy.
Sophie twitched the corners of her mouth with a hint of resignation, and began to yearn for the bonus points she had received in the previous world. She was so lost in thought that she didn't hear Chunhua's reminder.
When she came to her senses, she had already sat down on the ground.
Hiss, her butt seemed to be blooming.
Sophie grimaced in pain and was about to ask for someone's fault, but the culprit who hit her leaned over and squatted in front of her.
"Brother, are you okay?"
The man's cold voice sounded like a fine guqin.
Sophie looked up at the sound.
The first thing that caught my eye was the uninhibited smile on his lips, followed by his handsome features and the charming teardrop mole at the corner of his eye.
Si, Si Jin?
Sophie's breathing hitched, and she even forgot to reply.
Seeing that she was dazed, Helian Jue took the initiative to pull her up from the ground.
He momentarily overestimated her weight and used too much force.
Sophie ran straight into his chest.
Depend on……!
After her butt was hit by the ground, Sophie's pectoral muscles were also damaged.
She even suspected that this guy was chasing her on purpose to cause trouble for her?
"Brother, you?"
"Shut up!"
Sophie pushed him in anger, but the force bounced her back and she fell backwards.
Helian Jue quickly pulled her back.
Another round of frontal attack.
Damn, when people are unlucky, even drinking water will get stuck in their teeth!
Feeling the fleeting softness on his chest, a hint of surprise flashed in Helian Jue's eyes.
This brother is actually a woman?
"Third brother, what happened?"
Helian Jin walked back upon hearing the sound.
Sophie's eyes lit up and she quickly pulled Chunhua, who was standing there in a daze, and ran out the door.
In broad daylight, under the clear sky.
The scene of two grown men openly holding hands and leaving was quite shocking, and Helian Jin frowned in displeasure.
"The world is really going downhill!"
Helian Jue smiled but said nothing.
…
"Fortunately, the young master was smart and deliberately concealed his identity. Otherwise, if he had run into the prince today, I'm afraid unnecessary trouble would have arisen again."
On the way back home, Chunhua expressed her admiration for Sophie without reservation.
Sophie responded absentmindedly, her mind still recalling Helian Jue's face that was exactly the same as Si Jin's.
From the male protagonist's call of "Third Brother", Sophie already knew his identity.
As the second male lead and hidden villain of the play, Helian Jue and Lin Qingyin's rivalry is not much in the early stage, almost none. Apart from a nodding acquaintance when Lin Qingyin accompanied Helian Jin to the palace for a banquet, the two had no direct interaction.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Helian Jue is a complete brother-con and obeys his second brother Helian Jin's orders in the early stages. But in the later stages, he still can't escape the melodramatic plot setting and falls deeply in love with the heroine. In the end, he even turns evil to compete with the hero for the heroine, embarking on a path of brotherly opposition...
Thinking of Helian Jue's final outcome, Sophie's lips curled up into a meaningful smile.
She seemed to have found a breakthrough that could wash away the viciousness and change the ending.
