Chapter 2487

"But… I still have five younger sisters. My opinion doesn't represent theirs. Whether they're willing or not, I have no idea.

"Especially Sister Gu Qing — her voice carries the most weight. You'll have to go ask them yourself.

"And most importantly, Zhao Chi — whether he's willing to accept you depends on his own wishes.

"Let's leave it at that."

Shangguan Ting nodded repeatedly and said: "I know! I know Su Qin, and the two little sisters called Tang Ruan and Qi Yue — I've met them all! But I haven't met Sister Gu Qing. And who's the other one?"

Li Ruanyu said: "It's Zhuang Ya, but Gu Qing and Zhuang Ya, those two… you'll have to wait a few more days before you can meet them."

"No problem, I can wait. I'll talk to them properly! So what should I call you? Sister Ruanyu?"

Li Ruanyu's brow furrowed even deeper.

She said with a look of distaste: "Forget it, forget it. When you call me that, my whole body feels uncomfortable. Let's just call each other by name. We're the same age anyway, but in terms of status you should show me a bit more respect… And when we're outside, don't show anything for now. Don't affect Zhao Chi."

Shangguan Ting laughed: "I don't mind. If you won't let me call you that, then I won't. But don't worry — not many people out there like me, so it won't affect Zhao Chi."

"No!" Li Ruanyu shook her head firmly: "You… may not have much charm, but as a woman your conditions are still pretty good. A lot of people have designs on you, they just don't dare show it in front of you… You'll still have an effect on Zhao Chi. Don't be too intimate with Zhao Chi outside."

"Huh?" Shangguan Ting said in surprise: "Who?"

Li Ruanyu was still frowning: "I don't want to talk to you anymore. Let me calm down."

Shangguan Ting laughed: "Alright, alright, I won't bother you anymore. Zhao Chi, did you hear that? Put the crown away quickly."

Zhao Chi was genuinely bewildered the entire time.

How did Li Ruanyu agree?

Weren't the two of them in huge conflict?

Before, they were absolutely like fire and water — now both are willing?

Li Ruanyu clearly didn't seem willing, but for Zhao Chi's sake, she agreed anyway?

She really is a self-sacrificing kind of woman.

Willing to endure for Zhao Chi's sake.

But this Shangguan Ting… has no principles at all, does she?

Half a minute ago she was at daggers drawn with Li Ruanyu, but now her attitude has completely flipped — she's actually willing to address Li Ruanyu as older sister?

And willing to come after her?

Is she serious?

Seeing Zhao Chi's endless suspicion, Li Ruanyu sighed softly:

"Take it. If I had a crown I'd definitely give it to you, but unfortunately I don't have one.

"Fortunately Shangguan Ting has one. You should have seen the attributes, right? Then take it."

"I'll go talk to Gu Qing for you. But from what I know of Gu Qing, as long as it's in your interest, she'll support you with everything she has. If you're unwilling, she'll even come persuade you.

"Zhuang Ya may have her pride, but she'll definitely acknowledge Shangguan Ting's strength too, so there's no problem there.

"You… can wait for Gu Qing.

"If you can't wait, then taking Shangguan Ting today is fine too.

"It can be in my room."

Shangguan Ting looked at Li Ruanyu gratefully, then turned an excited gaze toward Zhao Chi.

Her breathing quickened considerably.

Zhao Chi shook his head: "Let's wait a bit longer…"

Li Ruanyu was silently speechless.

Shangguan Ting said, a little anxiously: "What? You really don't want me? Is it because of what happened before? Didn't we already make up long ago?"

Zhao Chi said: "Of course that's not the reason."

"Then what is it? Do you think my figure isn't good? My bust really isn't big, but my face should be decent, right? I should be prettier than most women. Is it that you don't like my type?"

Zhao Chi said: "Shangguan Ting, you're overthinking it. I just haven't adjusted in the moment. Setting everything aside and looking at you purely as a woman — you really are beautiful. I have no reason to refuse. But the problem is it's too sudden. At the very least, let me get used to it…"

Shangguan Ting stared at Zhao Chi: "I don't care about any of that. Just tell me — do you want me or not?"

Zhao Chi: "…"

Shangguan Ting said urgently: "Say something! I'm not saying it has to be today. If you want to get used to it, then get used to it. I just want a straight answer from you! Do you want me or not!"

Zhao Chi: "…Yes!"

With that one word out, Shangguan Ting was instantly overjoyed.

Her smile was brighter than the morning sunlight.

"Haha, wasn't that easy? As long as I have that word from you, I can rest easy. A real man keeps his word — no taking it back!"

Zhao Chi nodded.

Then he looked at Li Ruanyu.

Li Ruanyu watched them in silence.

Watching Zhao Chi, who still hadn't adjusted, and Shangguan Ting, who was overjoyed.

With another faint sigh, she said to Zhao Chi: "Zhao Chi, I need to talk to Shangguan Ting alone. You go ahead."

"Oh…" Zhao Chi could only nod.

"Shangguan Ting, come with me."

Li Ruanyu glanced expressionlessly at Shangguan Ting, then walked toward Phoenix Chant Tower.

"Mm, okay."

Shangguan Ting laughed, reached out and lightly pinched Zhao Chi's shoulder: "I knew you'd want me! Hehe~"

Then she hurried to catch up with Li Ruanyu's footsteps.

Soon, the two women entered Phoenix Chant Tower.

Although I don't know the specific content of their conversation, they probably went to resolve the conflict between those two, right?
