Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1530: Chapter 1510: When One Plan Fails, Another Arises (Part 2)

Du Yulan’s face immediately showed some awkwardness hearing this, after all, the Third Princess usually never had Du Yuwei and Cong Ying bow.

However, at this moment, in front of so many people, etiquette couldn’t be ignored.

Her right hand drew an arc in front of her, landing on her chest as she bowed slightly: ”This court lady Du Yulan pays respect to Her Highness the Third Princess and Mr. Shiliu, blessings to Your Highness, peace to you, sir.” In the civilian world, cultivators are respectfully addressed as ”sir,” so even though He Wenyu was a woman, she deserved the title.

”Stand up.” Watching He Wenyu’s calm expression, Huangfu Ning nodded before hugging the box tightly and said to He Wenyu, ”Sister Shiliu, I’m heading back to the palace first. I’ll cheer for you later.”

”Alright, this is my gift for you.” He Wenyu chuckled, handed a kraft paper bag to the Third Princess, and winked at her: ”Don’t eat too much, okay?”

The bag contained a large pack of chocolate popcorn, which Luo Qianqian wanted to eat, and since there was extra, it was given as a gift.

”Okay.” The Third Princess’s eyes sparkled with an unusual radiance as she quickly left under the protection of her guards.

After all, what she was holding was very precious.

”The Third Princess has gone, Miss Du, please feel free.” He Wenyu calmly stood up, sat at Luo Shufan and Luo Yanhai’s table, and, looking at the empty table where only two cups of tea sat, wrinkled her nose: ”Could you be any more stingy?”

”Nope.” Luo Shufan calmly looked at He Wenyu. They couldn’t expect to serve plain water, right? They didn’t offer free water here, you know.

”Miss Shiliu, I apologize for yesterday’s family matters causing a bad impression.” Du Yulan did not at all notice He Wenyu’s attitude in her tone, instead continued to follow He Wenyu around, always keeping her eyes on Luo Yanhai.

Regarding Luo Shufan, although he appeared more refined, seeing their intimacy made it hard to decipher their relationship...

Seeing Du Yulan’s eyes greedily glancing between the available options, Luo Shufan unhesitatingly gestured, smiled at He Wenyu, and said, ”Whatever Shiliu wants to eat, eat freely, anything you want, I’ll get it for you.”

He Wenyu, startled by the sudden change in Luo Shufan’s attitude, understood more upon sensing Du Yulan’s gaze, smiled with pursed lips, and raised her eyebrows at Luo Shufan.

Luo Qianqian directly glared.

”Really? Then I want... Oh, senior brother, there are outsiders here!” He Wenyu looked shyly down.

Luo Yanhai stood confused and dumbfounded. What was happening here???

Senior brother, how did he not know these two had the same master? Could it be his father? Wouldn’t that make him the senior brother?

And who was the outsider? Could they stop joking?... Actually, there was indeed an outsider.

Luo Yanhai raised his head to look at Du Yulan, seeing her affectionate gaze, he immediately understood what these two were up to, inwardly cursing Luo Shufan for being crafty!

Clearly, these two were acting to make Du Yulan believe they were a couple.

But in reality, they all knew these two were pure, unrelated siblings.

Otherwise, something would have already happened between them.

”Ahem!” Luo Yanhai coughed heavily twice, then said with heartfelt conviction to He Wenyu: ”Shiliu, you don’t need to pay when we’re at Forget Worries Tea House, understand?”

Indeed... As part of the Nine Heavens Pavilion team, their images had been circulated widely, yet they didn’t need to pay thanks to possessing the highest level Diamond Card of Forget Worries Tea House Commerce. Knowing they wouldn’t squander it recklessly, Luo Xihan had absolute reassurance.

”Ah...” Just as the waiter successfully became a protagonist delivering tea to He Wenyu, the three of them watched Du Yulan herself bump into the waiter and then fall into Luo Yanhai’s embrace...

Luo Yanhai’s mouth twitched slightly, he positioned his arm horizontally between himself and the table so that Du Yulan ended up lying on his arm.

Looking at Du Yulan’s tearful eyes, he was truly speechless.

He truly didn’t like it!!! Could she stop with this act!!! Except for Luo Qianqian’s tears, no other tears had ever touched his heart!!!

However, under He Wenyu and Luo Shufan’s gaze, he silently and awkwardly helped Du Yulan to her seat, then shifted to the other side.

Now, all four sides of the table were successfully occupied. Du Yulan sat directly opposite Luo Shufan, with He Wenyu on her left side and having voluntarily shifted her seat earlier, Luo Yanhai sat on her right.

At this moment, He Wenyu really wanted to call Luo Qianqian over to watch the show.

”I’m really sorry, Mr. Shiyi,” Du Yulan lowered her head somewhat aggrievedly, her voice very gentle.

Luo Yanhai’s mouth twitched, not wanting to speak.

He Wenyu and Luo Shufan glared.

”Not a problem.” Luo Yanhai screamed internally in dissatisfaction, yet had no solution at all.

”Mr. Shiyi’s such a kind, gentle person,” whispered Du Yuwei.

Luo Yanhai cursed inwardly while outwardly only uttering a peaceful ”Haha.”

”Would you like something to eat? Since we’ve had such a fateful gathering at the same table,” He Wenyu said without sincerity, even exhibiting some obvious schadenfreude.

However, since she was already seated, it wasn’t easy to say anything, was it?

After all, they wanted to watch the show.

”Anything is fine,” Du Yulan softly replied, raised her head to look at Luo Yanhai; his calm demeanor satisfied her even more.

What Imperial Kin, what aristocratic scion, none could compare to the nobility of a cultivator! If she could win the favor of this esteemed figure...

He Wenyu regarded her with bare-eyed amusement and casually ordered some things.

The food arrived quickly, yet despite its rare deliciousness, Du Yulan put down her fork after only a couple of bites and wiped her mouth.

”Does it not suit your taste?”

”Miss Shiliu was overthinking; it’s just that my appetite has always been small, I’m already full from this much,” Du Yulan stated at He Wenyu with surprise, knowing that the Third Princess had just eaten three servings, while Du hadn’t even finished half of one...

Even people on diets aren’t this extreme, are they?

They finished eating and stood up, with Luo Yanhai presenting his Diamond Card to settle the bill, Du Yulan stood up as well: ”Thank you, Mr. Shiyi, for treating me... Ah...”

A sudden stumble on flat ground, she managed to steady herself, but clutched her foot and furrowed her brow.

”What’s wrong?” He Wenyu’s expression suddenly amused.

Forget Worries Tea House Commerce’s floor definitely didn’t have any protrusions capable of tripping anyone; clearly, her stumble had ulterior motives.

”Seems I twisted my ankle...” Du Yulan looked at Luo Yanhai aggrievedly, ”Oh, it’s my fault, I should’ve watched where I was going, sorry for troubling Mr. Shiyi...”

”Ahem, brother, you might as well escort this delicate Miss Du who occasionally trips, back home and deliver some food to Miss Wu,” He Wenyu handed a paper bag identical to the previous one to Luo Yanhai: ”We have other matters, see you later.”

With this pair’s schadenfreude, Luo Yanhai had gained a deep understanding...

Though, they truly did have matters to attend to...
