At around nine in the evening.

Chu Luo appeared by the wall outside the villa. With a leap, she jumped into the road inside.

She looked up and saw that the large villa in front was brightly lit. There were many bodyguards standing outside the villa.

There were not only Li Yan’s bodyguards around but also people wearing a different uniform.

Chu Luo stood on the spot and watched for a while, conflicted about whether to go over to watch the show or go straight back to Li Yan’s courtyard.

At this moment, a leggy woman wearing a short skirt walked out. Even from a distance, one could tell that the woman was a beauty.

A person followed behind the woman. It was the butler.

The two of them walked one after another. The woman turned around slightly and wanted to walk back.

Chu Luo found it strange and followed.

Coincidentally, she heard the butler say sternly and politely, “Miss Qin, outsiders are forbidden from entering the backyard. If you want to take a breather, you can walk in the front yard.”

Qin Xiang stopped in her tracks and didn’t continue walking. Instead, she asked casually, “Butler Beitang, didn’t you say that Master Li has a beautiful woman? Why didn’t I see her come out?”

The butler: “Miss Chu is busy with her studies.”

“Isn’t it the National Day holiday now? Is Chu Luo so busy with her studies that she can’t have a break?”

“Yes.”

“In that case, Chu Luo is still at the school?”

The butler didn’t answer her. Instead, he said, “Miss Qin, Master should be preparing to send guests off. Please return to the villa.”

Qin Xiang glanced at the butler and a trace of displeasure flashed across her eyes. She walked towards the entrance of the villa.

Chu Luo stood there and looked at Qin Xiang. The corners of her lips curled up. She felt that this woman was a little interesting, but she wasn’t in the mood to provoke her. She walked towards the backyard.

However, just as she walked onto the road, Qin Xiang suddenly turned around.

She turned around and saw Chu Luo.

“Chu Luo?”

Qin Xiang sounded a little surprised and subconsciously raised her voice.

Chu Luo stopped and looked at her.

Qin Xiang lifted her skirt and elegantly turned around to walk in front of her. She sized her up from head to toe, and her eyes carried the arrogance of a lady from a wealthy family. She asked again, “You are Chu Luo?”

Chu Luo looked at her calmly. “What’s the matter?”

Qin Xiang frowned slightly. “Butler Beitang just said that you weren’t in the villa. So you were… Oh, looking at your clothes, you must have just returned.”

Chu Luo quietly looked at Qin Xiang in front of her. With this woman’s way of looking at outsiders, she was really asking for a beating.

She didn’t speak. Instead, Qin Xiang smiled and asked casually, “Did you not pick Master Li up when he came back today?”

Chu Luo looked at her and asked directly, “What are you trying to say?”

Qin Xiang glanced at the butler standing at the side and didn’t answer Chu Luo immediately. Instead, she said to the butler, “Butler Beitang, Chu Luo and I have something to discuss in private. You can go over first.”

With her expression, people who didn’t know better would think that she was the mistress here.

Beitang Hong did not give her face at all. Instead, he looked at Chu Luo.

Qin Xiang lost face and chuckled. However, her smile didn’t reach her eyes. She deliberately asked, “Is Butler Beitang worried that I’ll bully Chu Luo?”

Beitang Hong glanced at her sternly and thought, ‘I’m worried that Miss Chu will bully you in a fit of anger and won’t have any helpers around to continue stepping on you.’

Nonetheless, Beitang Hong walked towards the villa.

After Beitang Hong left, Qin Xiang retracted the smile on her face and said casually, “It’s only been a few days since I returned from abroad. I heard about you from many people these past few days.”

Chu Luo looked at her quietly.

Qin Xiang added, “Everyone said that you were beautiful. I didn’t believe it at that time.”

At this point, she raised her hand to ruffle her wavy hair, looking extremely charming.

“But now that I’m looking at you, I see that you’re indeed very beautiful.”

Chu Luo looked at Qin Xiang and said straightforwardly, “Isn’t that the truth?”

“Haha…” Qin Xiang laughed and nodded. “It’s indeed the truth. However, I’m really curious. How can a person change so drastically in such a short time? I’ve seen your photo from before. You looked entirely different from how you look now. ”

“So… what are you trying to say?”

Qin Xiang took a step towards Chu Luo, wanting to suppress her with her aura.

Chu Luo exuded a sharp aura.

It made Qin Xiang’s leg pause and she subconsciously retracted hers.

Chu Luo looked at her with those dark eyes.

Qin Xiang inexplicably felt herself lower her head and was a little angry. The fake smile on her lips finally disappeared. She said, “There are three things in this world that can change your appearance drastically.”

“Oh? Which three?” Chu Luo was interested.

“The first is plastic surgery.”

“You had plastic surgery?”

“How is that possible! The people from our Duanmu family are born with good genes. How can I possibly go for plastic surgery?”

“Oh… What about the second possibility?”

“The second method is to take hormonal medicine internally and externally.”

“You used it?”

“…”

Qin Xiang became even more furious. She stared at Chu Luo’s face and continued, “The third possibility is a changing one’s face.”

When Chu Luo heard this, a curious glint flashed across her eyes. “Change one’s face? How?”

Qin Xiang’s expression darkened. “Don’t pretend to be stupid. I’ve seen many women like you who want to climb up the social ladder. It’s not a secret what you looked like before. Must I be frank?”

Chu Luo blinked. “Then do be frank.”

“…” Qin Xiang took a deep breath and controlled her emotions. She snorted coldly. “You must have changed your face to seduce Master Li.”

Chu Luo looked at Qin Xiang, who looked like she wanted to expose her, and the corners of her lips curled up. She nodded in admission. “That’s right. I’ve tried all three of them. The effects are especially good. Do you want to try them too?

“Also… seducing Li Yan is also true, but who asked him to like me? Why don’t you try it too? ”

“You… How can you say such things? Do you think that I won’t tell Master Li what you said immediately?”

“Did you record it?” Chu Luo said kindly. “If you didn’t, take out your phone now and ask again. I’ll answer again.”

Qin Xiang was so shocked by Chu Luo’s fearless attitude that she almost collapsed.

Chu Luo looked at her and continued to give her advice kindly. “Do you like Li Yan too? If you really like him, you can learn from me. Undergo plastic surgery, apply some hormones internally and externally, and change your face. Otherwise, with your looks, Li Yan will definitely not fancy you.”

After saying that, she deliberately used her hand to indicate the gap between them.

After doing so, she seemed to have thought of something and deliberately lowered her voice to remind her kindly, “The woman Li Yan likes must be frank. Look at me, I can say whatever I want. It’s all Li Yan’s fault for spoiling me.”

After saying that, she pointed at the villa in front. “I think someone has come out. Maybe they’re here to look for you.”

When Qin Xiang heard this, she subconsciously turned around.

Indeed, someone had come out. She turned around to say something to Chu Luo, but she realized that in the blink of an eye, Chu Luo had disappeared.

Qin Xiang’s face turned pale. She thought to herself, ‘Could this person have really learned some unorthodox method?’

At the thought of this, she quickly lifted her skirt and ran towards the person. She wanted to expose Chu Luo’s true identity.

Chu Luo slowly walked back to the small courtyard at the back.

The roses in the courtyard had already withered, but they had been tended and didn’t look ugly.

Chu Luo thought for a while and pointed. The roses that filled the wall disappeared.

The entire courtyard was now filled with fiery red roses.

Chu Luo stood in the courtyard and admired them for a while. Just as she was about to walk towards the living room, she heard the sound of a car approaching from outside.

Chu Luo stopped and waited. Soon, Li Yan pushed open the door and walked in.

Li Yan immediately saw the roses in the courtyard.

Chu Luo smiled and asked, “Aren’t they nice?”

Li Yan walked up to her and touched her face. Seeing that her face was a little cold, he led her in and answered as they walked, “They look good.”

The two of them walked into the living room and went upstairs.

Chu Luo asked him as she walked, “Did that woman complain about me just now?”

After asking, she couldn’t help but laugh.

Li Yan pinched the tip of her nose.

However, his gaze darkened.

Chu Luo still didn’t realize it. She continued smiling and said, “That woman is really interesting. She looks like she doesn’t like you at all, but she can’t stand seeing you being liked by others. What do you think she’s thinking?”

“Hmph!”

“Why are you angry?”

Li Yan turned his head to look at her. In the next second, he picked her up horizontally.

Chu Luo quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and poked his cold face with her fingers.

Li Yan suddenly stopped and lowered his head to seal her lips.

“Mm…”

Chu Luo almost couldn’t breathe. When he let go of her, she quickly buried her head in his arms and punched him in dissatisfaction.

Li Yan said in her ear, “Don’t come into contact with such a woman again. If she says anything else in front of you, throw her out.”

Chu Luo: “…Alright.”

Li Yan carried Chu Luo into the bedroom but didn’t stop. Instead, he carried her into the bathroom.

When the bathroom door was closed, Chu Luo’s low voice could be heard. “Big baddie, what are you doing? Ah… Don’t take off my clothes…”

“Shower together.”

…

By the time Chu Luo was in bed, she was already tired and sleepy. At this moment, she didn’t forget to mutter to Li Yan, “I’m going to meet up with Professor Tang and the others early tomorrow. Wake me up. I can’t wake up late.”

Li Yan looked at Chu Luo, who had fallen asleep in his arms, in amusement. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead before answering softly, “Okay.” He hugged her tightly and closed his eyes.
