Chapter 518: Chapter 260: Well Said, But I’m Not Listening

[The only relationship you have with him now is that he is one of your tasks. Please remember the task at all times, and make sure to complete it as soon as possible!!!]

"..."

Just as Su Qianxue was actively looking for a reason to excuse Yun Wanchen, the urgent voice of the system suddenly sounded in her mind, forcibly interrupting her thoughts.

Tsk, this thing is really a killjoy!!!

Su Qianxue pursed her lips and mercilessly muted the system, making her head instantly clear.

So annoying, it’s not like she doesn’t know these things, is it really necessary to keep reminding her? She’s really too lazy to keep listening.

[...]

The muted system was a bit baffled. It had a lot more to say, but it found itself locked in a small black room, instantly becoming furious.

No matter how unwilling it was, it couldn’t contact Su Qianxue.

Unaware of its reactions, Su Qianxue’s full attention was currently focused on Yun Wanchen.

"Uh, with someone like the gentleman around, why would the Daughter of the Grand Commandant be interested in anyone else? Maybe the gentleman misunderstood..."

When she said this, Su Qianxue felt very guilty.

Having seen the plot, she knew full well about the shameless things the original owner did by pestering Mo Yuanhao during the marriage engagement.

But the problem is, she is Su Qianxue now, and those shameful things weren’t done by her, at most she’s just carrying the blame.

So, she felt it was very necessary to wash away the stigma and salvage her scarce reputation.

When Yun Wanchen heard her words, he didn’t respond, just smiled bitterly, which made Su Qianxue start to wonder.

Could it be that Yun Wanchen really likes Su Qianxue?

Indeed, while Su Qianxue was a bit foolish, she was undeniably beautiful. Her appearance could indeed be described as celestial, and it’s quite normal for people to be smitten by her.

It’s just a pity that he’s not the male lead, otherwise she might really want to give it a try with him.

Cang Yan, after coming back to his senses, was very displeased. He never expected that the woman would treat the Princely Heir this way, yet the Princely Heir still thought about her.

No, he thought the Princely Heir acted this way because he had forgotten about what that woman did to him in the past, so he felt it necessary to remind him.

"It’s really not a misunderstanding, but that Su family is blind. The Yun Family couple and Miss Su, none of them keep their promises, they’re all opportunistic, not a single good one among them."

"Especially Miss Su, besides being ignorant and a fool, she has poor conduct, is fickle, shameless, and has no face..."

"She disregarded her engagement, chased after my family’s Miss’s fiancé every day, causing shame to my family’s gentlemen and lady."

"That’s not all, the even more outrageous parts are about her losing her virginity multiple times before marriage. Nowadays, she’s infamous, notorious, and anyone who mentions her wants to spit."

"Luckily, my family master made the decision early to annul her engagement with our gentleman; otherwise, if such a woman was really brought into the house, our gentleman would face great misfortune."

When Cang Yan spoke, he carefully watched Yun Wanchen’s face, fearfully worried that the Princely Heir would be displeased.

After all, judging from the Princely Heir’s previous demeanor, it’s probably because he liked Su Qianxue.

But who could have predicted, despite how unpleasant he spoke, Yun Wanchen’s expression didn’t change at all, thus he spoke even more vigorously.

Yun Wanchen still didn’t show any signs of anger, which made Cang Yan very puzzled.

How strange, does the Princely Heir actually like Su Qianxue?

Saying he likes her, despite such harsh words, the Princely Heir didn’t react.

Saying he doesn’t like her, when mentioning Su Qianxue, the Princely Heir appeared so lost and melancholy, what’s really going on here?

Cang Yan couldn’t figure it out.

Su Qianxue, on the other hand, had been angry since Cang Yan’s first sentence, growing more and more furious the more she listened.

This damned guy, she initially thought he was a warm-hearted person, a decent man, but she didn’t expect his tongue to be so venomous, speaking so vilely about her.

Fickle, shameless, face-less, notorious, despised by everyone, marrying her brings great misfortune...

He almost used every malicious word from this era to describe women, what a detestable fellow!!!

Su Qianxue clenched her fists tightly, her gaze gradually became colder.

"System, this guy is just an NPC, if I accidentally kill or disable him, there wouldn’t be much impact, right?"

She unmuted the system, releasing it from the small black room, and asked sinisterly.

System: [...]

[The task is urgent, host should prioritize the task rather than quarreling with unnecessary people, avoiding unexpected issues that may increase task difficulty or lead to task failure.]

[If so, it truly wouldn’t be worth it.]

"Oh, well said, but I won’t listen."

Su Qianxue sneered coldly and promptly muted the system again.

As long as there’s no significant impact, it’s fine.

She took a silver needle laced with medicine from the System Space, deciding to teach this guy a lesson.

There’s a murderous aura!

Yun Wanchen’s eyes suddenly brightened, raising his eyelids to look at the woman across from him, acutely noticing a hint of cold shine on her fingertips.

Hmm?

What does she intend to do?

Yun Wanchen concentrated intensely, while his mind also raced swiftly.

This lady got angry, clearly she was fine before, but after listening to Cang Yan’s words, she immediately changed her expression, so, is she really Su Qianxue?

In an instant, he made up his mind, Yun Wanchen looked at Cang Yan and faintly reprimanded, "Cang Yan, do not speak ill of others behind their backs."

Cang Yan: "..."

What’s going on with the Princely Heir?

Earlier when he spoke those words, the Princely Heir did not stop him at all, nor showed any signs of displeasure. Why did he express his stance only after he finished speaking?

Really confusing.

"Yes, my lord, I understand my mistake~"

Although puzzled in his heart, Cang Yan still acknowledged his mistake with a good attitude.

He touched his nose, looking extremely embarrassed.

Speaking ill of someone behind their back is a mean act, indeed it’s not right, but wasn’t he making such a sacrifice to remind the Princely Heir?

Yun Wanchen no longer paid attention to him, instead turning to look at Su Qianxue, traces of apology appeared on his cold and handsome face.

"Please don’t mind what you witnessed, those words he said were utter nonsense, you don’t need to take them seriously."

"Miss Su is straightforward and unrestrained in nature, she dares to break the conventional restraints on women, boldly pursuing whom she loves without fearing societal opinions, she is a very courageous and beautiful woman, whom I greatly admire."

"In my heart, she is different from all the noble daughters, the outside world’s disdain and insults towards her are merely misunderstandings. Those people will never measure up to her."

"She favors others over me only because I’m not good enough, I can’t catch her eye, nor win her heart, it isn’t her fault..."

Su Qianxue froze, staring at the unparalleled handsome man, feeling deeply shocked yet profoundly touched.

She never expected that all along, Yun Wanchen viewed her like this.

After his legs were crippled, the original character despised him, disregarded the Yun Family’s dignity and their marriage contract, went to seduce and entangle Mo Yuanhao, causing him to be ridiculed by everyone.

Even she had tasks to harm him, and in the plot, to annul the engagement, she devised plans to disgrace him, substitute with a concubine’s sister to marry him disgracefully...

These things he might be unaware of, but just with what the original character did, any man would find intolerable; yet he not only wasn’t angry but rather exonerated her like this.

How could there exist such a pure and kind man in the world?

Su Qianxue didn’t have the heart to hurt him anymore, feeling the system unforgivingly targeting even such a person is extremely sinful.

Coming to her senses, she quietly put away the silver needles in her hand, her anger toward Cang Yan faded away unknowingly.

Enough, that follower indeed deserves to perish, but who let him have a good master?

His master is so good that it fills her with deep guilt and grave sin, today, for his master’s sake, she will spare him once.

Almost immediately after the silver needle vanished from her fingertips, Yun Wanchen noticed.

He sighed inwardly with relief, yet more certain of his previous suspicion, confirming this lady was indeed Su Qianxue.

He clearly did not detect any inner strength in her, yet she gave him an exceedingly dangerous feeling—

Again, coupled with her previous reactions, besides being Su Qianxue with a system, he truly couldn’t think of another.

However, he didn’t expect his words to make her abandon her hostile intention towards Cang Yan, discarding the unknown action planned previously.

’Phew...’

The wind and snow grew heavier, falling thickly on the three of them, turning their brows and hair white.

Su Qianxue gently brushed off the snow from herself, raising her head to look at the sky, seeing only a gloomy expanse with no hint of light.

She sighed and worriedly said, "This wind and snow, probably won’t stop anytime soon, traveling is very dangerous, does my lord truly wish to continue the journey?"

Yun Wanchen faintly hmmed.

The situation with his father is urgent, to avoid unnecessary delays, he shouldn’t linger too long, after feeding the horse later, he will set off immediately.

"By the way, haven’t yet asked where my lord is going?"

Although she had already guessed his destination, guessing is uncertain, so Su Qianxue couldn’t resist asking for confirmation.

On hearing this, Yun Wanchen’s eyes darkened.

Was this a question she already knew the answer to?

Or did she truly not know his whereabouts?

He felt it was more likely the former, but regardless, he wouldn’t tell the truth.

"Going to Sui City to visit relatives, and you, miss?"

He casually made up an excuse, his demeanor calm and composed, showing no sign of guilt.

Su Qianxue: "..."

This answer, why is it not quite as she imagined?

The only explanation is that he is deceiving her, or rather guarding against her, after all, her current face is unfamiliar to him.

Being absolutely cautious around strangers is reasonable.

If she were to confess that she is Su Qianxue, would he still behave like this?

Suddenly, curiosity surged in her heart, irresistibly wanting to remove her disguise and reveal her true identity.
