441 Fall Into His Trap
After a long pause, she defended herself, saying, “I… I didn’t… I didn’t think much about it. I just randomly chose a few lotus lanterns.”
She could not admit that she wished to be related to Qian Jiyun. She wanted to save face too.
“Second Brother, this is just a coincidence. If you didn’t mention it, I wouldn’t have noticed that the lotus lantern Yan’er gave you is identical to hers,” Gong Cheng quickly explained.
“Haha…” An Jiuyue laughed and did not interject.
One was scheming, and the other was a little white flower. What was she supposed to say?
She felt that a person like Gong Cheng should be thrown into Ding Nuo Academy’s underground Secret Network to train for a few years. He might grow after that.
“Young Master Gong’s comprehension skills are excellent.” She was impressed.
Gong Cheng was interrupted by a new voice.
Xia Junfeng beamed as he walked over quickly with Chen Youran. His face froze when he saw Yu Yan’er beside Gong Cheng.
He knew that Gong Cheng and Yu Yan’er could not be a couple. Since they appeared together and Qian Jiyun sent someone to call him here, it was clear what must have happened.
He could not help but curse Gong Cheng internally. He failed to appreciate Qian Jiyun’s kindness.
He moved the hand that was holding Chen Youran’s. When she looked up at him, he cast a quick glance at An Jiuyue.
Chen Youran was also from a wealthy and influential family. She understood what Xia Junfeng meant immediately. Letting go of his hand, she approached Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue.
“Greetings, Prince Zhan Yun.”
“Miss Youran, since you came with Junfeng, you can call me Second Brother.” Qian Jiyun glanced at Xia Junfeng.
This younger brother was sharp-witted, so he had to give him some face.
“Second Brother,” Chen Youran greeted Qian Jiyun before looking at An Jiuyue.
“You must be Sister Jiuyue? I’m pleased to meet you.”
She bowed to An Jiuyue. They had bumped into Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue earlier, and Xia Junfeng had told her about them. She knew about An Jiuyue.
“You’re too courteous, Sister Youran.”
An Jiuyue smiled at Chen Youran and supported her with one hand.
“Young Master Xia is Jiyun’s good brother. There’s no need to be so polite with each other. We should feel at ease.”
“Sister Jiuyue is right.” Chen Youran smiled and nodded before turning to look at Xia Junfeng shyly.
Gong Cheng, who had been ignored, was speechless. He felt extremely aggrieved.
What did Second brother say when I introduced him to Yu Yan’er? Why is Chen Youran allowed to call him “Second Brother”? Is there a need to be so obvious about this differential treatment?
He glanced at Yu Yan’er and saw that she looked awful.
However, he did not dare to be impudent before his two sworn older brothers.
Otherwise, even if his second brother did not do anything to him, Fifth Brother Xia would not let him off. His hands were black. He might fall into his trap if he were not careful.
“The boat is here. Let’s board it first,” Qian Jiyun said to them when he saw that the boat he had booked had arrived. He did not care about the brainless Gong Cheng.
