Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 127 Little Liar

"Zhi Nan, who is that girl over there who keeps crying?"

In the distance, Gu Tingye, who was sitting on a high platform drinking and making merry, suddenly saw Minglan holding a crying girl. He couldn't help but feel curious and turned to look at Wei Xingshou beside him.

"Oh?"

Wei Zhinan followed Gu Tingye's gaze and pointed, "Is it that girl in the blue dress?"

After Gu Tingye nodded, Wei Zhinan shook her head, raised the wine pot in her hand, poured wine for Gu Tingye, and introduced him in a low voice: "That is the granddaughter of Grand Secretary Yu's family!"

She knew that in the eyes of a noble family like Gu Tingye, the only person in the entire Yu family who could be considered respectable was Grand Secretary Yu. After all, the Yu family was not a prominent family, and their prosperity only began with Grand Secretary Yu's generation. It could be said that the rise and fall of the Yu family depended solely on Grand Secretary Yu.

"However, this is the eldest daughter of Lord Yu's deceased wife from a few years ago!"

Wei Xingshou parted her red lips slightly and said softly, "However, you also know what kind of person this Madam Yu is?"

What good can be done living under her nose?

Wei Xingshou shook his head, his face full of pity: "That's why she didn't have a very good life in the Yu family!"

"is it?"

A glint of light suddenly flashed in Gu Tingye's eyes. He felt that what had been troubling him for so long seemed to have a solution.

"Yup!"

Wei Xingshou was unaware that the "top playboy" in Tokyo had other ideas, and she continued to silently share the information she knew.

"Actually, this Miss Yu is a very nice person. No matter who talks to her or asks her questions, she will respond with a smile and never show any impatience!"

Appreciating Yu Yanran's good nature, Wei Xingshou continued, "Moreover, she doesn't even refuse to go to courtesans like us. To be honest, this Yu family girl is truly an exceptionally good young lady!"

"It's just a pity about that Lord Yu..."

At this point, a hint of regret and disdain flashed across Wei Hangshou's eyes.

I feel sorry for Yu Yanran, and I feel that her father despises her.

"Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Tingye felt even more certain that his plan was feasible!

……

"Minglan, what is this?"

Although Qi Heng offered his help, Yanran didn't want to put her sisters in a difficult position, so whether or not Qi Heng should participate ultimately depended on Minglan's attitude.

"Then, I'll have to trouble you, young master!"

Minglan thought about it for a long time and felt that she and the others really had no other choice. For now, this was the only option!
"Good! Good! Good!"

"As long as Sixth Sister agrees!"

At this moment, Qi Heng was overjoyed!
In fact, he was really happy when he saw Minglan nod, and he felt that the sky had become brighter than before!

In Qi Heng's view, Minglan's nod of agreement this time was almost a sign that she would accept him. As the saying goes, "A good woman is afraid of a persistent man." As long as Minglan gave in this time, she would definitely accept him in the future.

Minglan deliberately avoided looking at Qi Heng's smiling face, and instead turned to Yanran, assuring her, "Sister Yanran, don't worry, I will definitely help you get that hairpin back!"

"Dang~"

As soon as Minglan finished speaking, the gong in Sizheng's hand rang out.

"All riders, please mount your horses and prepare!"

"Minglan, you absolutely mustn't force yourself!"

Yanran wasn't selfish, and she was afraid that Minglan might do something foolish for her sake, so she quickly advised, "If it can't be done, then let it go!" "Minglan, it's just a hairpin, don't act rashly!"

Minglan didn't speak, but simply nodded, then mounted her horse and said, "Sister Yanran, don't worry!"

"I am measured!"

"drive!"

Qi Heng, who was standing nearby, had already mounted a white horse with Buwei's help. At this moment, he rode the horse to Minglan's side and said, "Sixth Sister, the competition is about to begin. Let's hurry up and go into the arena!"

"Ok!"

Minglan looked at Qi Heng, who was standing beside her, grinning foolishly, and felt a sudden tremor in her heart!
At the same time, she remembered the words Yanran had said to her, and her gaze towards her softened even more.

"Could it be that I..."

However, remembering her mother's dying wish and what she had said to Sheng Changquan, Minglan had no choice but to force herself to control herself and suppress the chaotic thoughts in her mind.

"No, no!"

"A relationship between me and the young master is impossible!"

Minglan glanced furtively at Qi Heng beside her, her eyes filled with unspeakable complexity: "We are ultimately not meant to be!"

"Sixth Sister, we..."

Qi Heng turned his head to discuss the upcoming competition with Minglan, but unexpectedly met her gentle and complicated gaze.

"what?"

Minglan was startled when Qi Heng suddenly noticed the look in her eyes!
She turned her head in a panic, and said in a somewhat evasive manner, "Young...Young Master, what...did you say?"

Qi Heng didn't speak, but simply watched Minglan quietly, the corners of his mouth widening further. He knew one of Minglan's characteristics, something she herself might not even be aware of—

That is, when Minglan is nervous or scared, she will involuntarily stutter a little!

Hesitant and stammering, it's incredibly cute!
Feeling increasingly anxious under Qi Heng's gaze, Minglan couldn't take it anymore: "Young...Young Master, you...you need to have some self-respect!"

"Ha ha……"

Qi Heng turned his head happily, silently chanting to himself!
"Little liar!"

"She clearly cares about me, but she pretends not to care!"

Recalling the look in Minglan's eyes that he had just seen, Qi Heng was certain—Minglan had feelings for him.

"It seems that Sixth Sister's biggest concern is our family background!"

Qi Heng wasn't stupid. Besides the fact that he wasn't sure if Minglan had feelings for him at first, the difference in their family backgrounds was also a major reason why Minglan distanced herself from him.

However, he is now certain that his feelings have not been in vain, and therefore, Qi Heng must also work hard for his and Minglan's future.

Realizing this, Qi Heng began to straighten his attitude. He turned to Minglan and said, "Sixth Sister, I..."

"Young Master, the competition is about to begin, let's get on the field!"

Minglan didn't want to talk about these things anymore, so she simply brought up the polo match.

"it is good!"

Qi Heng, unlike his usual dejected state after being rejected, now looked at Minglan with a smile and said gently but firmly, "Sixth Sister, let's talk about it after we win!"

"drive!"

Minglan pulled on the reins, pretending not to hear, and charged off ahead on horseback.
