Chapter 1633: Lin Xian'er had found the correct way to seduce

The reason Lin Shiyin could never forget the scene of her and Gu Hanyuan chatting in the courtyard was that it had stirred up her most beautiful memories.

Once, she had been just like that, talking of love in the courtyard with her beloved cousin.

At that time, Lin Shiyin had no worries, no sorrow.

Her heart was set only on when she could marry Li Xunhuan.

However, times had changed; ever since the day the Mo Sect met with disaster, her life had taken great strides toward suffering.

Her father died, and her beloved cousin changed.

Originally, she had wanted to use Long Xiaoyun to provoke Li Xunhuan, hoping he would have a change of heart, but what she received instead was his heartless blessing.

Furthermore, he had given Li Yuan to Long Xiaoyun as part of her dowry.

And Li Xunhuan had traveled far away for over a decade.

Being husband and wife with someone she did not love was an incomparably painful thing.

Yet, even so, there was Long Xiaoyun.

As she remained unable to forget Li Xunhuan, the affection between husband and wife gradually soured.

She did not know how many years it had been since she last shared a room with Long Xiaoyun.

Happiness drifted further and further away from Lin Shiyin, and she grew increasingly nostalgic for those beautiful memories of the past.

That was why there were those few moments of trance where she had nearly mistaken Gu Hanyuan for the Li Xunhuan of the past.

If not for Long Xiaoyun in Gu Hanyuan's arms constantly reminding her that he and Li Xunhuan were not the same person, she feared she would have lost her composure long ago.

Even so, she was forced to reduce the number of times she interacted with Gu Hanyuan.

She was incomparably grateful for Lin Xian'er's uninvited arrival.

It could conceal the wavering in her heart.

Now, facing Gu Hanyuan's taking advantage of her vulnerability,

she found it difficult to summon even a trace of hatred; her heart held only weakness, sorrow, and guilt, with at most a woman's instinctive shame and annoyance.

A ghostly light flashed in Gu Hanyuan's eyes.

A Lin Shiyin like this could not satisfy him.

Without love or hate, what use was even the most beautiful shell?

However, he had never intended to reach his goal in one step; having found a breakthrough point in Lin Shiyin was already enough.

Having taken his fill of liberties, Gu Hanyuan spoke indifferently:

"Since the Lady has made up her mind, I shall help Li Xunhuan once."

As the words fell, Lin Shiyin's delicate body trembled, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.

Fortunately, Lin Xian'er, who was at her side, supported her in time and asked with concern:

"Sister Shiyin, are you alright?"

Yet, in her eyes, a dark and obscure light was flickering.

She felt she already knew the reason why Gu Hanyuan had been indifferent to her.

It was not that she was not beautiful enough or not seductive enough.

It was that she had used the wrong method.

Putting on so many airs was meaningless; she should have made use of her own perfect, delicate body.

Otherwise, no matter how much she postured, she would not attract Gu Hanyuan's attention.

After all, Gu Hanyuan had countless confidantes and was well-traveled and experienced; he was not comparable to those rough men of the Jianghu.

Of course, Lin Xian'er thought with inevitable disdain in her heart:

"Hmph, men are all the same."

Lin Shiyin, at this moment, did not dare to look at Lin Xian'er's face at all.

She only felt that she had lost all face in front of her.

Lowering her head and eyes, she subconsciously glanced at Gu Hanyuan.

As a result, she happened to see him lightly rubbing the fingers he had just withdrawn, seemingly savoring the freshness and juiciness of the peach.

Lin Shiyin's pretty face instantly turned crimson as blood, and she was overcome with shame.

That cold, strange sensation made her wish she could cover her face and flee.

A hint of playfulness flashed in Gu Hanyuan's eyes.

He set down Long Xiaoyun, who was worried about whether Lin Shiyin was feeling unwell,

and strolled leisurely toward the center of the field.

Everyone's attention had previously been on how to take down Li Xunhuan.

Long Xiaoyun, in particular, was full of anxiety, seemingly persuading while actually fanning the flames.

He was also anxious about why they still couldn't take down Li Xunhuan.

He had no idea that just a moment ago, the green hat on his head had become a few shades brighter.

Of course, it was not that absolutely no one had noticed what happened between Gu Hanyuan and Lin Shiyin.

Sun Xiaohong, far behind the crowd, had seen everything from beginning to end.

Originally, she had been worried about Li Xunhuan's safety, yet she could never think of a way to break the deadlock.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck: wasn't the person who could break the deadlock Gu Hanyuan?

Therefore, she hurriedly looked toward him.

However, she saw the scene of Lin Shiyin being toyed with by Gu Hanyuan.

Sun Xiaohong could not hear the conversation between the two sides and did not know the ins and outs of the situation.

She simply assumed that Gu Hanyuan and Lin Shiyin had already hooked up.

This made Sun Xiaohong feel indignant for Li Xunhuan, while her heart was filled with disappointment.

Even knowing that Gu Hanyuan was romantic and sentimental, she could convince herself that it was because his charm was too great.

However, getting involved with Lin Shiyin, the woman Li Xunhuan loves and who is also the wife of Long Xiaoyun, made her feel uncomfortable.

She felt her idol filter shattering and even felt some regret for coming to Xingyunzhuang.

As for the previous thought of wanting to apologize to Gu Hanyuan, it had vanished like smoke.

If not for the fact that she was still concerned about Li Xunhuan's safety, she probably would have turned and left...

As soon as Gu Hanyuan entered the field, he instantly became the focus of attention.

Everyone stopped their hands in unison.

Bai Xiaosheng felt a slight sense of unease and asked suspiciously:

"Young Master Gu, what is this?"

Gu Hanyuan said indifferently:

"Lady Long has begged Gu Mou to protect Li Xunhuan."

The crowd was in an uproar upon hearing this.

And Li Xunhuan subconsciously looked in the direction of Lin Shiyin.

But he only saw Lin Shiyin with her head lowered, supported by Lin Xian'er.

Li Xunhuan gave a bitter smile at the sight.

He simply assumed that Lin Shiyin did not want to see him, and that begging Gu Hanyuan was probably also for the sake of their past affection.

Long Xiaoyun's face turned completely black.

He had calculated everything, but he hadn't calculated that Lin Shiyin would actually beg Gu Hanyuan to protect Li Xunhuan.

Different people have completely different understandings of the same event in their eyes.

Long Xiaoyun, at this moment, believed this was a precursor to the rekindling of old flames between Lin Shiyin and Li Xunhuan.

This was completely different from helping Li Xunhuan after discovering his conspiracy in the original plot. ===== CHAPTER 1635 =====
