Chapter 713

Lin Lin Shiyin looked at Li Li Xunhuan, who was already injured and seemed to be on the verge of being captured at any moment.

Turning back, she stared at Gu Gu Hanyuan before her with sorrowful eyes, finding it difficult to reconcile him with the gentle, smiling figure from before.

Yet, at the moment she helplessly closed her eyes, scenes of Gu Gu Hanyuan chatting with her about poetry, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting flashed through her mind.

A clear tear slid from the corner of her eye.

Lin Lin Shiyin said with a trembling voice:

"I beg you to save Cousin."

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

She used to talk about love with her beloved cousin in the courtyard just like this.

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

She only thought about when she could marry Li Li Xunhuan.

However, times had changed, and ever since the day of the disaster at the Demon Sect, her life had taken a big step toward pain.

Her father died, and her beloved cousin changed.

Originally Yu Wanting to use Long Long Xiaoyun to stimulate Li Li Xunhuan so he could change his mind, what she got was his heartless blessing.

And he gave Li Garden as her dowry to Long Long Xiaoyun.

And Li Li Xunhuan went far away for more than ten years.

Being a husband and wife with someone you don't love is an incredibly painful thing.

However, even so, there was Long Long Xiaoyun.

In her constant thinking of Li Li Xunhuan, the relationship between husband and wife gradually became disharmonious.

She didn't know how many years it had been since she slept in the same room as Long Long Xiaoyun.

Happiness was getting further and further away from Lin Lin Shiyin, and she missed the beautiful memories of the past more and more.

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

If it weren't for Long Long Xiaoyun in Gu Gu Hanyuan’s arms constantly reminding her that he and Li Li Xunhuan were not the same person, she probably would have lost her composure at some point.

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

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

It could cover up the wavering in her heart.

Now, facing Gu Gu Hanyuan’s taking advantage of her predicament,

she couldn't even muster a trace of hatred; there was only weakness, sorrow, and guilt in her heart, at most accompanied by a woman’s instinctive shame and anger.

A flash of dark light flickered in Gu Gu Hanyuan’s eyes.

Such a Lin Lin Shiyin could not satisfy him.

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

However, he never intended to achieve everything in one step; now that he had found a breakthrough in Lin Lin Shiyin, it was enough.

Gu Gu Hanyuan, having taken enough advantage, said indifferently:

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

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

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

"Sister Lin Shiyin, are you okay?"

However, her eyes were flashing with dark light.

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

It wasn't that she wasn't beautiful enough or tempting enough.

It was that she had used the wrong method.

Doing so many superficial things was meaningless; she should have used her perfect delicate body.

Otherwise, no matter how much she postured, she wouldn't attract Gu Gu Hanyuan’s attention.

After all, Gu Gu Hanyuan had countless confidantes and was well-informed; he was not comparable to those rough men in the Wu Lin.

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

"Hmph, men are all the same."

Lin Lin Shiyin didn't dare to look at Lin Xian'er’s face at all.

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

Subconsciously, she glanced at Gu Gu Hanyuan before lowering her head and eyes.

As a result, she happened to see him gently twisting his retracted fingers, as if he were savoring the freshness and juiciness of the peach.

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

That cold strangeness made her want to cover her face and flee.

A flash of playfulness flickered in Gu Gu Hanyuan’s eyes.

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

He stepped leisurely toward the field.

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

Long Long Xiaoyun was even more anxious, seemingly persuading but actually fanning the flames.

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

He had no idea that just a moment ago, the green robe on him had become a few shades brighter.

Of course, it wasn't that no one noticed what happened between Gu Gu Hanyuan and Lin Lin Shiyin.

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

Originally, she was worried about Li Li Xunhuan’s safety, but she couldn't think of a way to break the situation.

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

Therefore, she hurriedly looked at him.

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

Sun Xiaohong couldn't hear the conversation between the two and didn't know the cause of the situation.

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

This made Sun Xiaohong feel indignant for Li Li Xunhuan while also feeling full of disappointment.

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

But hooking up with Lin Lin Shiyin, the woman Li Li Xunhuan loved and who was also Long Long Xiaoyun’s wife, made her feel uncomfortable.

She felt that her idol filter was shattered, and she even regretted coming to Wu Xingyun Manor.

As for the thought of apologizing to Gu Gu Hanyuan before, it vanished into thin air.

If she weren't still concerned about Li Li Xunhuan’s safety, she probably would have turned around and left...

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

Everyone stopped their hands in unison.

Bai Bai Xiaosheng felt a bit ominous and asked suspiciously:

"Young Master Gu, what is this?"

Gu Gu Hanyuan said indifferently:

"Lady Long asked me to protect Li Li Xunhuan."

Everyone was in an uproar upon hearing this.

And Li Li Xunhuan subconsciously looked in Lin Lin Shiyin’s direction.

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

Li Li Xunhuan smiled bitterly upon seeing this.

He just assumed that Lin Lin Shiyin didn't want to see him, and that asking Gu Gu Hanyuan for help was probably for the sake of their past affection.

Long Long Xiaoyun’s face turned completely black.

He had calculated everything but didn't expect Lin Lin Shiyin to ask Gu Gu Hanyuan to protect Li Li Xunhuan.

Different people have completely different understandings of the same event.

Long Long Xiaoyun now believed this was a sign of Lin Lin Shiyin and Li Li Xunhuan rekindling their old flame.

This was completely different from helping Li Li Xunhuan after discovering his conspiracy in the original story.
