Chapter 294 Desire to Conquer
Chapter 294 Desire to Conquer
"Your Highness, you know my feelings for you, yet you slander me like this..."
Being treated like an enemy by the man she loved shows how much Chen Wanru suffered.
"Hmph! You brought this on yourself, who else can you blame!"
Lu Hanting had heard that Chen Wanru was in love with herself, but he also knew that the girl in front of him was of questionable character.
With a temper like hers, not to mention him, I'm afraid no handsome young man in the capital would dare to marry her.
Therefore, even though the Empress had proposed to him many times, he had not agreed.
Seeing that Lu Hanting was protecting Wu Weiwei behind him, as if he was worried that he would hurt her again.
Chen Wanru stomped her feet, burst into tears, and ran out.
"Cousin, cousin..."
After the prince saw the others leave, he gave Lu Hanting a cold snort and then left on his own.
Looking at the woman with her eyes lowered and unwilling to look at him, Lu Hanting said coldly, "Is this how you treat your savior?"
Hearing her words, Chen Furong grinned.
Wu Weiwei laughed in exasperation.
"Your Highness, I have no grudge against Chen Wanru. As for why she bullied me, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you!"
If it weren't for his rotten romantic entanglement, why would she have targeted me?
Furthermore, she was perfectly fine going hunting today, so why did he come here?
"She is her, and I am me. I cannot control how others like me, but I have the right to choose who I like."
Besides, even if you don't admit it, I still stepped in to help you out of that predicament..."
Hearing his words, Chen Furong remained silent.
"By the way, senior brother, have you received Qin Baiwan's invitation?"
Chen Furong suddenly said.
As far as she knew, her senior brother and Qin Baiwan were not the kind of people who could sit down and talk calmly.
Lu Hanting's icy gaze fell upon her; Chen Furong was involved in everything.
"Speaking of which, I have to ask you, junior sister, why did you let Chen Wanru bully Wei'er when she was right next to you?"
"I... I thought she was coming for me, but who would have thought you would come, Senior Brother... But even if you didn't intervene, I could still help Sister Weiwei out of this predicament!"
Chen Furong will not lose the argument.
Wu Weiwei was standing right next to her; how could she possibly allow Chen Wanru to slap her like that?
She's not that bad!
Seeing Chen Furong trying to argue, Lu Hanting didn't bother to waste any more words on her.
"Alright, this is none of your business. Wei'er, when you go inside, sit next to me so you don't get bullied again..."
Lu Hanting made the decision for Wu Weiwei without asking.
Wu Weiwei stared at him, looking completely bewildered.
Chen Furong!!!
Is her senior brother out of his mind?
Even though Sister Weiwei has already left the Marquis's mansion, why does he still have such a strong possessive desire for her?
Faced with Lu Hanting's domineering attitude, Wu Weiwei frowned and said, "Young Master, my affairs are none of your business."
After saying that, she looked at Chen Furong and said, "Furong, let's go!"
Seeing Wu Weiwei leave him without hesitation, Lu Hanting's hands bulged with veins.
"Wu, you stop right there!"
But Wu Weiwei acted as if she hadn't heard, and walked inside without turning her head.
This woman!
She's increasingly disregarding her own dignity.
But aside from getting angry at the air, he seemed to have no way to deal with her.
After all, to her, he was a stranger with whom she had no connection.
Does he intend to abduct her like Xiao Lu did yesterday?
If I were to actually do that, how would I be any different from him?
It might even make Wei'er dislike it more.
Seeing his master's gritted teeth, Liu Yun silently lowered his head.
He can neither speak nor offer advice; to do so would only bring him suffering. Why should he do it?
When Wu Weiwei and her group arrived at the venue, they saw that everyone was sitting in their assigned seats according to the marked numbers.
Wu Weiwei glanced casually at Hao Tuo beside the Crown Prince, only to see him look back at her and raise his eyes in understanding.
The Crown Prince was unaware that Hao Tuo was one of her people. During their meeting at the Jade Butterfly Garden that day, the Crown Prince assumed that Hao Tuo was simply receiving guests at her venue, so he did not suspect anything.
Of course, if the Crown Prince really wanted to investigate thoroughly, he would probably be able to find out something.
However, his advisor Qiao Yuanliang was also placed there by Qingzhu, and under his persuasion, the Crown Prince naturally didn't think too much about it.
As soon as they sat down, Qin Baiwan, the protagonist of the day, brought over a pot of wine.
The man in front of me had a pair of captivating eyes and a nonchalant, carefree demeanor.
Judging from his appearance alone, you would never guess that he is as terrifying as the rumors suggest.
But those who know him well know how chilling his methods are.
Seeing Qin Baiwan approaching, Chen Furong quickly stepped in front of Wu Weiwei.
She glared at Qin Baiwan, who was looking at Wu Weiwei with interest.
"Oh my! You've covered her up so well, do you really think I've never seen her before..."
Qin Baiwan looked at Wu Weiwei behind her, but spoke to Chen Furong.
"Have you met Sister Vivi?"
Chen Furong was surprised.
Upon hearing Qin Baiwan's words, Wu Weiwei behind him frowned.
When did I see him?
Qin Baiwan looked at her.
"Tsk tsk! Look at your memory, young lady! At the end of last year, you came to our Duke of Qin's mansion seeking help..."
Seeing the serious look on his face, Chen Furong unconsciously stepped aside and looked at Wu Weiwei with a question in her eyes.
Wu Weiwei also looked at the lazy-looking man in front of her.
last year?
That must have been before I transmigrated here. I don't know what the original owner did to make Qin Baiwan remember her. Could it be because of the original owner's beauty?
Seeing that Wu Weiwei seemed unable to remember, Qin Baiwan suddenly said, "Don't even think about it! I'm not that Lu guy, a lustful and greedy person."
Enjoy the upcoming performance! Who knows, you might have the chance to act in it someday!
After saying that, Qin Baiwan took the wine pot and left again.
Hearing his words, Chen Furong's face turned pale.
Seeing Chen Furong's appearance, Wu Weiwei asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Furong?"
"No, it's nothing."
"I've finally realized what's happening," Chen Furong murmured.
What is Qin Baiwan trying to do? Is he going to make a move against Sister Weiwei?
He really thought he was the emperor, fearing neither heaven nor earth.
Despite thinking this way, Chen Furong still had to be on guard.
Everyone says Qin Baiwan is brainless, but she doesn't think so.
Others might not know, but Chen Furong knew from her aunt that he liked to collect all sorts of good-looking men and women.
The more beautiful and charming she is, the more it will arouse his desire to conquer her.
What use are these people?
Of course, they were used to serve as "prey" in the hunting grounds, to attract nobles with perverse tastes to chase and play games of beasts and beauties.
If she had known he had met Sister Weiwei, she shouldn't have agreed to bring Sister Weiwei here today.
Rather than calling Qin Baiwan a spoiled brat, it's more accurate to say he's a shrewd and intelligent man.
He is good at understanding people's hearts.
If he takes a liking to you, he will make you willingly become his tool, no matter what means he uses.
This is why he was able to become the leader of the bullies.
Chen Furong looked at Wu Weiwei.
"Sister Weiwei, think about it carefully. When you met Qin Baiwan before, did he ever make any demands on you?"
Seeing Chen Furong's somber expression, Wu Weiwei knew that the question she had raised was probably very important to her.
