Chapter 53: Bashful Iceberg

  The starry sky shone brightly, and the streets paved with bluestones were crowded with pedestrians.

  Yu Ran's brush tip touched Wen Renyi's brow, and Wen Renyi's long sword was pressed against Yu Ran's abdomen.

  At this moment, it seems that the two are evenly matched, neither superior nor inferior.

  Wen Ren's eyes were fixed intently on his opponent, the sword tip pointing straight ahead, his eyebrows raised, his thin lips pursed, and his gaze deep.

  Yu Ran's eyes revealed a hint of fervent emotions, her enchanting face carrying a hint of seduction. Then she heard his low and husky voice: "Witch girl, this young master was saying sweet nothings while fighting with Wen Renyi for three hundred rounds, ending in a draw. Shouldn't that be considered a win for me?"

  Su Mo slowly raised his eyes, and in the pupils reflected two men's elegant and handsome figures. His fingers continued to play the sanxian slowly, and a hint of mockery smiled on his lips, but he didn't say anything.

  Regardless of winning or losing, she felt uncomfortable in her heart, was it already over just like that?

  She hasn't seen the two of them in a situation where they are both embarrassed and defeated in front of everyone.

  One of her goals was to thoroughly discipline the two men, but unfortunately, these two men were still elegant and carefree even after being beaten for three days and three nights, and instead let everyone admire the elegant demeanor of the men for half a day.

  What a blunder! What a blunder!

  Two men stared at each other, their eyes cold and unyielding.

  Before Su Mo responded to anyone, they would absolutely not relax their guard, a good enemy does not move unless I move.

  Su Mo's lips curled up after a moment of silence, "Indeed, both of you are quite impressive, it's really hard to tell who wins."

  At this moment, the proud and arrogant young man snorted coldly in the Heavenly Book and said in a low voice: "Woman, that icy man is a sword cultivator, and he can fully release his sword intent. He's not an ordinary character at all. This place is crowded with people coming and going, and with just one casual strike, he could make blood flow like rivers. Yet, he can control the damage from his sword energy to the minimum, and his strength is almost on par with Yu Ran."

  At the words, Su Mo slowly raised her eyes, black pupils like black pearls, and said in a low voice: "By the way, just now Yu Ran Gongzi said so many romantic words to me, but Wen Ren Gongzi doesn't want to say anything to me? Or do you think it's not worth saying anything to me?"

  The corners of her mouth curved upwards, revealing a charming dimple on her cheek.

  Su Mo suddenly had a wicked idea and wanted to see if this icy man would say something that would shock the heavens and move the gods.

  Thinking of a hundred romantic words, Wen Renyi had always been calm and collected, elegant and proud, but at this moment he remained still.

  After a moment, he finally coughed, and his face suddenly flushed with a faint red.

  Yu Ran couldn't help but let out a light snort, he knew that the other person was always cold and ruthless, not someone who could say sweet nothings, but facing a girl he liked, he couldn't utter a single word, it didn't seem like he had any romantic bones in his body, at this moment he was far superior to the other person, it could be said that he had already won completely.

  After a long silence, Wen Renyao tried to speak several times but stopped himself. Finally, he said in a low voice: "That... I..."

  "Wen Ren, what about me?" Yu Ran asked provocatively.

  "That... I like you."

  I like you.

  I like you.

  Only four words, yet it feels like a thousand pounds.

  Su Mo, who was ready to watch the joke from the side, heard these four words and couldn't help but float a touch of blush on his face, his heartbeat slowing down by half a beat.

  A cold and unfeeling man unexpectedly said these four words to her in front of everyone, it can be seen how precious these four words are.

  Any woman who encounters a man like this making a confession to her will inevitably be moved.

  Wen Renyi continued with a serious expression: "Last time I said I hoped you would be my fiancée, I was being serious. You must consider it."

  Yu Ran immediately took a step back, his tone unpleasant, and said coldly: "Isn't it obvious that I, the young master, have the upper hand?"

  Her eyes sparkled with a hint of pure and charming smile, her gaze first fell on Yu Ran, seeing his dark eyes as if ignited, only to smile slightly. Her gaze then turned to Wen Ren Yi, saying slowly: "Wen Ren Gongzi, I've thought about it, and I think I can temporarily be your fiancée, although not your real one, but it's better than nothing. What do you think?"

  There are many reasons why she did this, and for a proud son of heaven like Yu Ran, there aren't many ways to disappoint him.

  Especially after witnessing Yu Ran's ghostly and shameless behavior, Su Mo felt an inexplicable resentment towards him, wanting to intentionally make him lose face.

  It doesn't matter if she becomes Yun Ruoyan's temporary fiancée, it can even be used as a bargaining chip for her and Mu Wuheng's divorce, and she won't lose anything herself.

  Upon hearing this, Wen Ren's mouth corners immediately and uncontrollably curled upwards.

  Although it wasn't true, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy at this moment.

  But seeing his lips curve into a beautiful arc, his eyes with an irrepressible joy and excitement, completely genuine. His appearance was originally born very perfect, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, at this moment his face looked elegant and handsome, the raised eyebrow gesture seemed like a butterfly's clear flutter, a pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes were shining with starry light.

  At this moment, Yu Ran's mood was like a stormy wave crashing against the shore, unable to calm down.

  His eyes sank, like a fish bone stuck in his throat, and a thorn on his back.

  A deep and strange emotion was lurking in his eyes.

  Different people have different feelings about it.

  Mr. Zhou stood in the crowd below and let out a soft sigh, saying: "Alas! If Mr. Wen hadn't appeared from the beginning, Mr. Ran would have had an extraordinary night with Miss Su. But what happened this time? He was preempted by Mr. Wen, and not only did he lose his chance, but also ended up helping someone else, I feel sorry for Mr. Ran."

  Xiaofeng shook her head, crossed her arms and said, "Dye Gongzi is a person who becomes more courageous when faced with setbacks, he will definitely not give up. If Miss Su chooses Dye Gongzi this time, I'm afraid that Wenren Gongzi will definitely let go and no longer bother her."

  Mr. Zhou glanced at him sideways, shaking his feather fan, "Are you saying that Dye Gongzi will continue to pester?"

  Xia Feng laughed and said, "This is even more interesting."

  But Yu saw that the girl's eyes were cold and desolate, and couldn't help but say: "Miss Yaoji, why won't you accept my proposal?"

  You Dao is a clever man who would know that when it comes to a woman, one cannot be too hasty, there must be give and take, otherwise it will backfire. However, after Wen Renyi appeared as a strong enemy, Yu Ran was no longer calm. He curved the corner of his mouth, and a hint of evil charm flashed in his deep eyes, instantly putting down the brush in his hand, taking two steps forward and saying: "Witch girl, I, Jin Yu Tang master Yu Ran, am very serious about pursuing and seducing you, this is what I said in front of everyone."

  Wen Renyi raised an eyebrow, thinking that this person was even more shameless, and actually said that flirting was serious.

  Su Mo's eyebrows furrowed, her eyes clear as water. She also stopped beating around the bush and said lightly: "Dye Gongzi, spare some effort, I know you don't really like me, just like I won't really like you."

  Yu Ran Dao said: "Who says I don't like it? Just now, every romantic word I spoke to Miss Yaoji came from the bottom of my heart."

  Su Mo said: "Young Master once said that a man's words are worthless."

  Yu Ran's lips curved into a faint smile, "So that man's words don't count either."

  Su Mo blinked his eyes and said, "Actually, I and Wen Ren Gongzi are just pretending to be together, so you don't need to worry about it."

  "What's there to care about? Why shouldn't I care? Many men and women are pretending to be real." Yu Ran's lips still carried a sarcastic smile.

  At this time, Wen Renyi stepped forward two steps, coldly glanced at Yu Ran and said with a face as white as jade without any expression: "I am the commander-in-chief of Dongling Wei, different from you bookworms, every word I say is counted."

  Yu Ran immediately looked at Su Mo with a very wronged expression: "Qing qing, I know you like the book I wrote, but this man is speaking out of turn. What's wrong with writing books? Does he look down on people who write books?"

  Su Mo said coldly, "Dye Gongzi, my cooperation with you is limited to Jin Yu Tang. I will play the role of Jin Yu Tang's Yao Ji for you all the way, and after that, we have no relationship."

  Yu Ran immediately sighed and said: "You're really heartless, Miss Yao Ji."

  Rumors of a few people's conversation, although not very clear, but the onlookers outside have already guessed many things, and they couldn't help but point and whisper: "Tsk tsk, it's unbelievable! The handsome man holding the pen is actually Jin Yutang's Dye Young Master, the sword-holding man is the Commander-in-Chief of Dongling Wei, and that beauty is Jin Yutang's Demon Concubine."

  The prostitutes in the Yuelou Building smiled softly, pursing their lips: "So that man is the master of Jinyutang, he just said something and asked me how strong my emotions are. Now the moon is shining brightly in the sky like my heart, it's really a romantic phrase, every word is so charming, every sentence is so pure and elegant. Oh my, my tender heart is almost moved by him."

  "Look at them, both wearing cheongsam, their figures are really top-notch."

  "Ah! If I can have a spring breeze with one of them, it's worth dying for."

  "But even Yun Ran Gongzi and Dongling Wei's Wen Ren Gongzi both like the demon girl, this woman is really formidable!" The crowd of women said with a mix of jealousy and admiration.

  At this time, Su Mo had straightened up and was standing on the rooftop, her white gauze skirt fluttering in the wind, her figure lithe and slender, like a celestial being.

  The eyes of the men gazed upwards, and they immediately let out a series of astonished gasps: "Is that the enchantress from the Golden Jade Hall? She's really too beautiful! The Ding family's daughter is far inferior to her."

  On the other hand, a black figure took a deep look at the three of them and slipped into the depths of the alley when no one was paying attention.
