Chapter 128 Not Enough to Be an Enemy
When Chen Chuo raised his eyes, the haze in his eyes suddenly dissipated, as if the sky had suddenly cleared up after the rain, and his face was clear.
"My Lord...Miss." Chen Chuo stared straight at the overly beautiful girl in front of him, hiding all the resentment and darkness in his heart.
He wanted to question why His Highness didn't wait for him.
I want to know who this aggressive man is? I want to know why he appears beside His Highness.
Why did he have to scheme so hard and put in so much effort to finally catch the prince's eye, but this man won the prince's favor so easily?
Yizhou was clearly where their story was supposed to begin, but suddenly a man broke in and took his place?
Why?
But Shen Chuo couldn't ask.
Not qualified.
Ling Qingyan curled her eyes at him: "You got here so quickly? How was it? Did you have a smooth journey?"
The girl's voice is still so beautiful, and she truly cares about herself.
"Although the journey was tiring, thinking that I would soon see the young lady, I felt that this journey couldn't have been smoother."
"Oh, it turns out you are Sister Qingxi's friend. Welcome to Yizhou. As expected, Sister Qingxi's friend is a handsome man." Cui Huailang said with a smile, his tone quite familiar.
Sister Qingxi?
Who the hell is he, worthy of calling His Highness his sister?
And who are you trying to show off your familiarity to?
He has known His Highness longer than him, so he said it as if he and His Highness have a very good relationship and he is a foreign guest.
Shen Chuo was so angry that he laughed: "Miss, is this the person you invited to help us?"
Chen Chuochao mentioned "we" casually.
"Let me introduce you to Mr. Cui Huailang, the second young master of Cui. He's the first friend I met in Yizhou. He's a very nice guy and has helped me a lot these days. He's also been a big help at Furong Manor. Oh, no, Mr. Cui, the boss of Furong Manor, has also invested in the partnership. We should consider this our joint venture."
"This is Mr. Shen Chuo, a friend of mine."
Cui Huailang greeted Shen Chuo openly.
Chen Chuo looked at him very warily, and approached Ling Qingyan and said, "Miss, is this man reliable? We are in an unfamiliar place, and the situation is different from before. Miss, don't be fooled by him."
Ling Qingyan could understand Chen Chuo's worries, but she couldn't explain to him that they came to this place from the same era.
Moreover, Cui Huailang gave her the impression of being free and easy and righteous, and he was a good friend.
Before Ling Qingyan could answer Chen Chuo, Cui Huailang on the other side spoke for her:
"Master Shen, I'm not a liar." Then his powerful voice sounded again, "I just hit it off with Sister Qingxi at first sight, and we get along quite well."
"Don't disbelieve me, some people's fate is just so ingenious, as if it was destined by heaven. In this vast sea of people, we meet people with such similar personalities and every aspect!"
Ling Qingyan understood Cui Huailang's excitement at meeting such a close friend. She was also moved to meet someone in a different world who understood the experiences of her past.
But it sounded very unpleasant to Chen Chuo's ears.
The wind whistled past his ears, as if all the noise around him had disappeared, leaving only Cui Huailang's showing off to him.
Fate is ingenious and destined by God.
These are all things that Chen Chuo doesn’t have.
He maintained a stiff smile on his face, but his chest was about to explode with anger.
Why, why is there always someone reminding him of what he doesn't have!
Is his effort a joke?
Cui Huailang took his place and even boasted to him that it was destiny!
His chest seemed to be assaulted by anger, feeling sore and swollen.
"That's true. Congratulations, you're so lucky." Chen Chuo gritted his teeth, and every word seemed to be chewed carefully.
"I think so too." Cui Huailang was complacent.
Fatigued by the long journey and angered by his boasting, Chen Chuo lost his balance and fell to Ling Qingyan.
Ling Qingyan supported him and said, "What's wrong? Why are you so weak?"
"In order to reach Yizhou earlier, I didn't get enough rest. Miss, don't worry about me. I'm fine." Chen Chuo's face didn't look very good and he looked very weak.
He could feel the girl's warm and soft touch, as well as her sweet fragrance. The sweet smell entered his nostrils, and his breathing became lighter.
Suddenly, the fragrance left and he was pulled away by a strong force.
Cui Huailang grabbed him, supported him very considerately, and said to Ling Qingyan with a smile: "Sister Qingxi, your friend is a little weak."
Cui Huailang was a man of few words, and since the Cui family was doing well in Yizhou, Cui Huailang had no scruples when it came to making jokes.
"He must be too tired. It's just right. You can send him back to rest and call a doctor. I have to keep an eye on Furong Manor."
"Okay, I'll have someone send him back. There are so many people coming today. I'll help you deal with it!" Cui Huailang called a servant and handed the person over.
However, Chen Chuo stood up firmly and said, "Miss, I will stay and help you. I just didn't get enough rest. It shouldn't be a big deal."
What a joke, if His Highness doesn't send him back or go back with him, what's the point of him pretending to be weak?
It’s all because of Cui Huailang who suddenly appeared.
"No." Ling Qingyan said righteously, "You'd better get some rest, otherwise your body won't be able to take it. If I really make you sick, do you want me to die of guilt?"
"You've helped me a lot. I can handle this little thing. Go back and rest. Be obedient."
After all, Chen Chuo is Mansheng's younger brother. They have helped her a lot. She doesn't want Chen Chuo to ruin her health here.
"But..." Shen Chuo still didn't give up.
"Now that we've arrived in Yizhou, my words are no longer effective, right, Mr. Chen?" Ling Qingyan raised her voice slightly and looked at him.
Your Highness will always be Your Highness, and of course your words will count.
But I'm not willing to give up.
"I'm kidding." Ling Qingyan looked at him and said with a smile, "Be obedient and go back to rest now. Our Master Shen is mainly smart. If you wear out your brain, where else can I find such a smart brain?"
"Don't worry, there's no rush to help right now. You'll have things to do in the future." Ling Qingyan soothed.
Ling Qingyan's words were very useful to Shen Chuo.
See, His Highness is always so wonderful. After just a few words, Shen Chuo was convinced.
Yes, there is no need to rush.
It doesn’t matter, Shen Chuo’s heart slowly calmed down.
What is there for a young boy to be afraid of?
He just took advantage of the opportunity to get close to His Highness when he was not around. He could even scheme against those powerful and scheming people in the capital.
Not to mention a mere Cui Huailang.
Not enough to be an enemy.
At this time, the capital city was in an extremely strange calm.
The peace was broken by a businessman who came to Beijing to do business.
