Chapter 33: Shura Field

---

Seeing Fang Chang's slightly teasing gaze, Liu Ruyan bit her lower lip tightly.

She had mustered all her courage to come with Fang Chang this time.

After all, what had just happened at the banquet.

If her mother hadn't insisted she come, how could she have been so shameless?

But…

Liu Ruyan forcibly suppressed her anger and embarrassment, looked at Fang Chang, and said softly, "Fang Chang, I'm sorry about what happened before. I didn't consider the consequences."

As she spoke, Liu Ruyan bowed deeply to Fang Chang.

Kong Long, standing to the side, looked at Fang Chang in disbelief, secretly giving him a thumbs up.

Good heavens, this arrogant Liu Ruyan came to apologize?

And to a spoiled brat no less? Is this some kind of magical situation?

"No, no, no..."

Seeing Liu Ruyan bow, Fang Chang immediately said, "Don't bow to me, or your little boyfriend might suddenly appear and beat me up. My brother isn't with me right now."

"Don't worry, Young Master!"

Ku Duo stood there like a mountain, his voice extremely deep and honest: "Anyone who wants to kill Young Master will have to step over my dead body first!"

"None of your business."

"Oh!"

Liu Ruyan raised her head, pursed her lips: "Fang Chang, can we not talk like that? After all, when we were little..."

"You still remember when we were little?!"

Before Liu Ruyan could finish speaking, Fang Chang's voice rose, interrupting her directly: "You mean to say we played together as kids and had a good relationship, so I shouldn't talk to you like that?"

"And you? I'd like to ask you something. When you said you wanted to annul the engagement at the banquet, did you consider the relationship between our two families?"

"Of course, there's no point in saying that now. Just please, Miss Liu, stay away from me! Go find whoever you want!"

"Fang Chang!"

Liu Ruyan's brows furrowed slightly: "I know you're still angry with me, but I have to explain to you clearly. Tang Jun is my bodyguard. He has indeed saved me many times, and I do have some feelings for him."

"That's all. We've never even held hands, and he's not my boyfriend."

"Oh, so what?"

Fang Chang said nonchalantly: "I don't care what your relationship is now, or what your relationship will be in the future. You don't need to explain to me because I've already annulled the engagement."

"Not annulled yet!"

Liu Ruyan stepped forward, her beautiful face filled with stubbornness: "My aunt has already agreed. As long as you don't budge, we won't break off the engagement."

"Is that so?"

Fang Chang smiled and said, "Then I agree now. Let's break off the engagement. To be honest, Miss Liu, I really have no interest in you. Look at the lady beside me."

As he spoke, Fang Chang placed his hand directly on Qingluan's shoulder.

He could clearly feel her delicate body tremble.

This was the effect Fang Chang wanted. If Qingluan couldn't stand it, she would just leave, saving him trouble.

Unexpectedly, Qingluan only stiffened slightly before obediently leaning against Fang Chang's chest.

Oh? So tolerant?

A hint of surprise flashed in Fang Chang's eyes. He seized the opportunity and placed his hand on her long, shapely legs covered in stockings.

The skin was warm and soft to the touch.

"See that?"

Fang Chang teased Liu Ruyan, "The one beside me is just as beautiful as you, and her personality is much better. Most importantly, she's obedient and sensible, so why would I want you?"

"That's right~~~"

Qingluan leaned against Fang Chang's chest, placing her hand on the back of his neck several times before removing it.

Suppressing the tingling sensation in her body, she smiled seductively, "This is Miss Liu, right? You should leave. Young Master Fang can have me with him."

"You can't give him the tenderness, but I can~"

"Shut up!"

Faced with Fang Chang's sarcasm, Liu Ruyan was at a disadvantage, but she wouldn't back down against others.

Liu Ruyan coldly stared at Qingluan, then parted her lips slightly: "Just a woman of the night, what are you trying to prove with your flirtatious behavior in front of me?"

"Oh~"

Hearing Liu Ruyan's words, Qingluan wasn't angry at all, instead feigning an exaggerated expression: "Flirting with you? Miss Liu, don't be ridiculous, my flirtation is only directed at Young Master Fang~"

"I know Young Master Fang won't marry me, but even if it's just for fun, so what? I just like Young Master Fang~"

"Look! Look!"

Fang Chang immediately added insult to injury: "What woman of the night, clearly a good sister! And Liu Ruyan, who gave you the courage to look down on others?"

"A sick father, a sick mother, a younger brother in school, and a sensible girl like her, if I don't love her, who will?"

"You expect me to love you? Don't be ridiculous, just go do what you're supposed to do!"

"Fang Chang..."

Liu Ruyan softened her tone, speaking earnestly, "If your aunt sees you're attracted to a woman of the night, she'll be angry. Can we find a quiet place to talk?"

"That won't do, Miss Liu~"

Before Fang Chang could answer, Qingluan interjected, "Young Master Fang belongs to someone else now; you can't take him away!"

"I said! Shut up!"

Liu Ruyan's brows furrowed, her expression icy. "Someone as depraved as you isn't worthy to speak to me. Fang Chang is just playing with you; do you really think you'd catch his eye?"

"So what?"

Qingluan's red lips curled up. "I'm not like some people who don't even deserve to be played with~"

"Who are you calling a slut?!"

Liu Ruyan stepped forward, intending to grab Qingluan, but as soon as she reached out, Fang Chang seized her wrist.

"Liu Ruyan, who do you think you are? I've been polite enough to you, get out of my way!"

With that, Fang Chang shoved Liu Ruyan aside, causing her to stumble.

Liu Ruyan looked at Fang Chang in disbelief: "You actually hit me for a courtesan?"

"What else?"

Fang Chang chuckled: "You always have this 'courtesan' thing on your lips, but how are you any more noble than her?"

Hearing this, a hint of tenderness appeared on Qingluan's beautiful face.

She wasn't a courtesan, but a seasoned assassin who frequently fought on the battlefield. Who would show her such gentleness?

"Fang Chang! You really like her? Your aunt will be disappointed!"

"Hehe..."

Fang Chang's laughter was full of mockery: "The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is. What does it matter to you if my mother is disappointed? Besides, yes, I just like her. Even if I marry her, what's it to you?"

As he said this, Fang Chang looked at Qingluan with tender eyes.

His inner voice screamed, "Quick! Quick! I can't take it anymore! I've already teased you like this, get up and run!"

He thought Qingluan would immediately stand up and leave, but Fang Chang found that not only did she not leave, but her eyes even became evasive, and a blush rose on her beautiful face.

What the hell are you blushing for!
