A light flashed in Lu Chen's eyes and disappeared as quickly as it appeared. He then looked at Gu Ruoyun with his gentle gaze once again but the corners of his lips carried a sense of bitterness, "Lady Gu, not only do you share the same name as Yun'er, you look so much like her. Previously, we had been at odds but I did not know that she was Yun'er's friend. Yun'er and I had once loved each other so deeply yet she had cruelly left me all alone. Therefore, when I saw how much Lady Gu resembles her, I could not help but want to get closer to you. I wonder if Lady Gu would give me a chance?"
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the crowd stared intently at Gu Ruoyun. At first glance, they realized that she did indeed resemble Xia Ruoyun. Even though they did not have the same face, her clear and cold demeanor was no different from Xia Ruoyun's.
However, why did Lu Chen's words sound like a confession to them?
The Little Princess was shocked. She blinked in astonishment and stared at him in confusion, "Big Brother Lu, don't you already have Sister Chuxue?"
Lu Chen laughed bitterly and shook his head, "Chuxue is Yun'er's little sister. I love her deeply so how could I fall in love with her little sister? I'm taking care of Chuxue for Yun'er's sake and I have no other intentions towards her. My love has always been Yun'er alone. Perhaps Yun'er could not bear to see me suffer alone in this world so she had allowed Lady Gu to appear in front of me to relieve my longing. I can't let Yun'er's efforts down. Besides, every time I see Lady Gu, I can't help but think of Yun'er. "
Lu Chen's pained expression did not look fake at all. If it were not for the fact that Gu Ruoyun had experienced in her past life, she would probably think that Lu Chen was deeply in love with her.
"Sir Lu is truly infatuated."
No one knew who had started the conversation but the crowd's voices instantly rang out.
"It's rare to find a man with such deep feelings in this world. Xia Ruoyun has been dead for so many years yet he still deeply misses her."
"That's right. If it weren't for the fact that this woman's temperament is so similar to Xia Ruoyun's, the infatuated Lu Chen wouldn't have even spared her a second glance. However, Lu Chen, you'd better think this through. If you marry this woman, you'll lose the opportunity to form a marriage alliance with the Xia family. Tsk tsk, now that the Xia family has Supreme Jin's support, even the Emperor of Drifting Wind Country wouldn't dare to provoke them. Are you sure you want to do this?"
Lu Chen raised his handsome face and spoke with sincerity, "Power and status, to me, Lu Chen, they are not as important as the woman I love! Lady Gu, you were sent by Yun'er to help me walk out of my pain. Hence, in this lifetime, I, Lu Chen, will not marry anyone but you! "
To me, Lu Chen, nothing is more important than the woman I love!
Hearing this, Gu Ruoyun really wanted to laugh.
In her past life, who was the one who gave up on her and Yu'er for the sake of power?
Moreover, he had dismembered Yu'er alive right in front of him!
And now, she still remembered the man's words.
He had said, "Yun'er, I'm sorry, I'm a very ambitious man. Chuxue is the true Master of the Ancient Divine Pagoda. She will certainly become the most powerful cultivator on the mainland. Whoever marries her will be able to rule the world!"
"Lady Gu, does this mean that you've agreed to marry me?"
Gu Ruoyun unknowingly smiled.
However, when he saw her smile, Lu Chen's heart leaped with joy. A sense of complacency flashed in his eyes. He knew it. Women are just as lustful as men. No woman can resist the temptation of a handsome man.
Besides, Lu Chen was very confident in his looks.
Chapter 668: The Shameless Lu Chen (3)
Look, no matter how much this woman had tried to put on an act, she could not help but laugh when she heard that I'm willing to marry her! How much does she love me that she would be so happy because of my words?
"Marry you?" Gu Ruoyun smiled calmly. Her eyes were filled with mirth as she curled her lips at the man standing in front of her, "Do I have to marry you just because you're willing to? Are you... Qualified? "
Lu Chen's complacent expression froze when he heard this. He could not believe his ears as he stared at Gu Ruoyun in astonishment.
She had rejected him?
Impossible!
No one in this world could resist his temptation! Absolutely impossible! .
He was only loosening the reins to grasp better. I've seen this kind of little trick many times on other women.
"Lady Gu, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, as long as I'm willing to marry you, I guarantee that no one would dare to say that you're not worthy of me!"
Gu Ruoyun smiled and her clear and cold eyes were filled with disdain, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? I'm asking you, are you qualified to marry me? Those who wish to marry me must offer the world as a betrothal gift and the nations as a matchmaker. I'm afraid that you'll never be able to achieve this in your entire life. "
Lu Chen's expression changed greatly as a cold light flashed in his eyes. The world as a betrothal gift and the nations as a matchmaker? How arrogant of him to say that!
Who does this woman think she is? Does she think that she can look down on everyone just because she has the Holy Doctor as her backer? Unfortunately, the Holy Doctor, whom she has been using as a shield, will eventually die in Supreme Jin's hands. By then, forget about me, even a beggar would not marry her!
"Enough!"
The Little Princess, who had remained silent all this while, cried out and stopped Lu Chen. She stared at Lu Chen with a complicated look in her eyes as she pursed her lips and said, "Big Brother Lu, since Sister Gu doesn't want to marry, don't force her. Let's start today's gathering first. After all, I've brought Sister Gu here to introduce her to you."
Lu Chen composed himself and smiled, "Little Princess, don't worry. Yun 'er had sent Lady Gu here to comfort me. I won't treat her unfairly."
The Little Princess looked at Lu Chen and silently pulled Gu Ruoyun and Mo Shangfei to one side. She then lowered her head, deep in thought.
The banquet did not last for long before it ended amidst the laughter of the young disciples. Of course, Gu Ruoyun had also used this opportunity to gain a better understanding of the current situation in Drifting Wind Country.
At this moment, the sun was setting in the west and the afterglow of the setting sun shone upon the entire Imperial City of Drifting Wind Country.
The Little Princess paused in her steps on the quiet street, "Sister Gu, don't take Big Brother Lu's words to heart."
"No matter what he says, I can ignore it."
Gu Ruoyun smiled but her smile was filled with an icy aura, "However, if he wants to provoke me, there's no need for me to let him get away with it."
The Little Princess was shaken and smiled bitterly, "I don't know why but I feel that Big Brother Gu has changed. He's become very unfamiliar to me. Or perhaps, I've never seen him clearly from the beginning."
She raised her head and looked at the magnificent sky. Her fair little face was filled with bitterness.
"Everyone thinks that I'm very naive. I am naive but I'm not stupid. I've always thought that Big Brother Lu wasn't a bad person but... If one truly loves someone, how can it be so easy for them to fall in love with someone else? Xia Ruoyun has been dead for more than six years. Six years is enough for him to forget someone. If he really does forget her and falls in love with Sister Chuxue, I won't blame him. After all, there are very few people on this mainland who would stay alone for their loved ones for the rest of their lives. "
