The vicious villain is in luck again

Luo Anran's expression was dull for a few seconds, and she gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

"want."

I'm so afraid that I still have to hold a hairpin, so I'm done with it.

An Ran couldn't help but blurt out, "Girl, your obsession is so deep."

Luo Anran raised her head and smiled proudly.

"Humph, that's because I'm not facing him directly."

An Ran: "...I forgot about this."

As if thinking that she didn't have to face Gu Chenyu in person, Luo Anran's momentum rose again.

She pointed at An Ran with her finger, "Originally, I thought that if I couldn't reach an agreement with you this time, I would just go back."

"Since the hairpin is with Gu Chenyu, I will show mercy and give you three more days."

"If you haven't got the hairpin back in three days, I'll wait until you die and I die together."

An Ran was confused by this sudden deadline.

She said anxiously, "I can't even embroider a handkerchief in three days."

Luo Anran put the back of her hand against her waist, "What does your embroidering of a handkerchief have to do with taking my hairpin?"

"No, I..."

"Don't give it to your aunt, I am Jiji Waiwai."

She walked forward impatiently, grabbed An Ran's shoulder, and pushed hard.

"Go back, you."

An Ran twitched and sat up from the bed. Light had already shined softly on the quilt through the curtains.

When she raised her feet, she kicked something. She looked closely and saw that it was Tiandao who was sleeping soundly on the quilt beside her feet.

Tiandao woke up after being kicked like this.

Sensing that An Ran's expression was wrong, he ran over and said, "Nv Goose, have you really met her?"

An Ran nodded heavily, "She gave me three days to get the hairpin back."

"If we can't get it back, we will all die together."

Tiandao was silent for a while, "She is so cruel, she is the real vicious villain."

An Ran was speechless, "Are you stupid? She is."

"Then, what should we do now?"

An Ran hugged him and got out of bed, "I'll do as you say."

After washing up, he saw the food box that Nian Qiu had brought over and took it An Ran said, "My princess, just come."

She was about to cross the threshold with her food box in her arms.

"Princess." Nianqiu stopped her, "Where are you going?"

An Ran turned around and smiled lightly, "I would like to go and have breakfast with Shaojun."

Having learned the lesson from nearly falling down last time, An Ran deliberately stood up straight this time and knocked on the door.

She said softly, "Young Master, could you please open the door?"

The door opened, revealing Ji Qinghan's indifferent face.

He put his hands behind his back and asked, "What do you want to say, Princess?"

An Ran walked in with a smile, opened the lid and took a look at the contents of the food box.

"The peach blossom soup made in the small kitchen today is very good. I thought of sending it to Shaojun to try."

She diligently put the food on the table, filled a small bowl of peach blossom soup, and waved to Ji Qinghan who was standing by the door very familiarly, "Young Master, come here quickly."

Between words and deeds, he is naturally skilled.

It's as if she has always been like this.

Ji Qinghan looked at her for a while, then slowly walked over and sat down.

He took the bowl and accidentally touched her fingertips, and he winced unconsciously.

Ji Qinghan silently scooped up a spoonful and put it to his mouth.

Seeing that he didn't refuse, An Ran picked up another piece of pastry and put it on the small plate in front of him.

"Young Master, try this pine nut milk crust cake again. It's my favorite food on weekdays."

She kept holding it with her hands.

“There is also this snow-coated bean paste bun, which is soft, glutinous and sweet, with a unique texture.”

Ji Qinghan put down his spoon and glanced at the plate on the table.

"The princess seems to have a preference for sweets."

An Ran smiled sweetly, "Eating sweets makes you feel good."

“Who doesn’t love sweets?”

He didn't react much after hearing this, he just lowered his head and ate what An Ran gave him.

Ji Qinghan was silent, but An Ran had something to say.

She sat on the other side and observed his relaxed brows and relaxed expression. Then she crossed her hands and leaned against the edge of the table, and asked carefully, "Did it be Shaojun who picked me up last night?"

Ji Qinghan slowly swallowed the food in his mouth.

"The princess is joking, I don't have such ability."

An Ran didn't believe it, so she leaned on the table and moved closer, "You're really not Shaojun?"

He looked straight ahead and answered calmly, "If the princess hadn't knocked on the door, I wouldn't have known that the princess had returned to the palace."

An Ran couldn't see anything strange and straightened up in frustration.

She stood up and muttered, "Then I have to ask the queen."

Behind him, Ji Qinghan said, "What do you want to ask, Princess?"

Since he wasn't the one who sent her back, he definitely didn't know where the veil was.

An Ran was not in the mood to talk to him any more, and waved her hand in prevarication, "It's nothing. Young Master, please have a good meal."

She left without any regrets.

In Fengqi Palace, Su Qinghe had finished his breakfast and was eating in the company of Shu Rong.

After walking for a while, someone came forward to report An Ran's arrival.

She and Shu Rong looked at each other and said with an interesting smile, "This is beyond my expectation. She actually took the initiative to come here so quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, An Ran's figure appeared in his sight.

She hurriedly walked to Su Qinghe, walking so eagerly that a gust of wind blew up as she walked.

"I have met the Queen."

Su Qinghe admired his newly dyed nails, "I thought I wouldn't see you for a while, but I never thought that I would see you the next day."

"I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything." She asked casually, "Why are you here today?"

An Ran said, "I am here this time to thank the Queen."

Su Qinghe became interested, "Really? Is there anything I can thank you for?"

An Ran said sincerely: "Thank you, Queen, for sending me back to Tonghua Hall properly. I am deeply grateful."

Su Qinghe looked away from his nails and sneered, "Are you mocking me?"

"No." An Ran shook his head, becoming more sincere, "I sincerely thank you for your thoughtful consideration."

"At dawn, he avoided many eyes and ears and sent his son and minister back to Tonghua Palace without anyone noticing."

The tone of her words was really smooth and strong, and Su Qinghe looked at her directly.

Luo Anran seemed to really not know that it was Ji Qinghan who took her away.

Su Qinghe deliberately tried to test, "How can you be sure it's me?"

Of course it was because she asked Ji Qinghan and got a negative answer.

Besides Ji Qinghan and the Queen, who else can send her here and there in this palace?

An Ran said with a smile on her face, "The only one in the palace who has such great energy is the Queen."

Su Qinghe understood.

It turns out that the elimination method was taken for granted and Ji Qinghan was eliminated.

But, Ji Qinghan didn’t say anything?

Could it be that he was trying to hide his clumsiness?

Regardless of the reason, Su Qinghe decided to make good use of it.

Since he didn't say anything, don't blame her for fighting for her son.

Thinking of this, she looked at An Ran and smiled kindly.

"You should thank Yu'er for this. On a heavy rainy night, he put a lot of effort into delivering you to the palace, all beard and tail."

An Ran got a headache when she heard about Gu Chenyu.

However, she then thought about it, if it was Gu Chenyu who gave it to her, could he have seen the veil on the way and taken it away by the way?

The more An Ran thought about it, the more likely it was, and her heart was filled with hope.

She said happily: "I will go to my brother now to express my gratitude."

Su Qinghe watched An Ran leave with a happy face and whispered to Shu Rong, "Look, how happy she is when she talks about Yu'er."

Shu Rong replied, "That's right. I don't know since when, the princess and the third prince have become so close, even worse than the seventh princess."

Su Qinghe said meaningfully: "In the future, her relationship with Yu'er will be closer than the relationship between brother and sister."

An Ran took a path that not many people would take and arrived at the prince's residence.

She looked around at Gu Chenyu's door for a while, making sure no one was coming before knocking.

"Who is coming?" he asked.

An Ran replied, "Me."

There seemed to be someone laughing softly on the other side of the door.

Gu Chenyu opened the door and welcomed her in.

His eyes paused on her lips for a moment, then moved away as if nothing had happened, "Why would my sister think of coming to my brother's place so early in the morning?"

Still pretending to be a brother and sister.

but--

An Ran clenched her fist in her heart, just pretending for the hairpin.

She raised a hypocritical smile and said, "Of course I'm here to thank my brother for escorting my sister back to Tonghua Hall that day."

Gu Chenyu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Did your mother tell your sister?"

An Ran nodded.

He lowered his head and adjusted his sleeves, "Mother is really..."

All the words that followed dissipated on his lips.

An Ran didn't care whether she was a mother or not. After the scene was over, she suppressed her eagerness and slowly advanced her words.

"The handkerchief I gave to my brother, after my sister embroidered it, she took it with her."

She stared straight at Gu Chenyu and asked, "Brother, will you accept it?"

Although he wanted to suppress it rationally, his impatience was clearly exposed in his words and deeds.

Gu Chenyu saw the nervousness she inadvertently revealed, and then looked at her lips, deliberately teasing her.

"Did brother accept it?"

An Ran was on the verge of death, and his tone became louder.

"Brother confiscated it?"

Gu Chenyu made an ambiguous statement.

"Sister should know best."

These words fell into the ears of An Ran, who was kept in the dark, but they meant denial.

Hope is broken.

An Ran felt depressed in an instant.

She admitted dejectedly, "Well, it was my sister who lost the veil."

Gu Chenyu said, "Then just embroider another one, what's the harm?"

An Ran shook his head, "It's too long."

"Nothing, brother can afford to wait."

"Sister, I can't wait."

Her chest rose and fell, and she looked directly into Gu Chenyu's warm and transparent eyes seriously.

"That hairpin is very important to my sister. My sister must get it back within three days."

"Brother, please change the conditions."

The two looked at each other for a long time.

Gu Chenyu's lips curled up, "Okay."

He turned his back and took a few steps, "That's it."

"When my sister sees her brother from now on, she must not hide from me, go around me, or pretend not to see me."

"You also have to come up to me and call me - 'Brother Chenyu' very affectionately."

"Be considerate, gentle, and devoted to your brother. If anything good happens, you must also think of your brother."

An Ran silently counted the conditions Gu Chenyu said with her fingers, going through all the words in her mind and summing them up into one sentence.

He just wants her to treat him like Gu Danxin.

An Ran couldn't figure it out.

Does he really want to cultivate a brother-sister relationship between them?

She thought again and figured it out.

Probably it has something to do with honeysuckle.

After convincing herself, An Ran readily agreed, "Okay."

"Brother, please give me the hairpin now."

Unexpectedly, Gu Chenyu turned around and looked at An Ran but did not move.

"If my brother gives it to me now, how do I know if my sister will regret it?"

He smiled gently and spoke calmly and generously, but An Ran was made a little uncomfortable by these words and his eyes.

"My sister always adheres to her words and deeds. Brother, you can rest assured."

Gu Chenyu said calmly and teasingly, "My sister's mouth is so deceitful, my brother can't trust her."

He walked over to An Ran and lowered his head to look at her.

"You have to do it first, so your brother can believe it, right?"

An Ran deliberately stayed away from him, raised her hand and put her fingers together, "If brother doesn't believe it, sister will swear it."

As soon as he raised his arm, he was blocked by Gu Chenyu.

"Brother never believes these empty words."

He stretched out his hand and gently leaned his wrist against An Ran's arm. The navy blue sleeves pressed against her exposed skin, giving her a hint of coolness.

"Sister doesn't need to swear, she just needs to show it to her brother."
