When Li Xiaoran woke up the next day, everything that had happened last night appeared in her mind.

Realizing something, Li Xiaoran turned to look at the bed at the side.

To Li Xiaoran’s surprise, the bed beside her was cold.

The man who should have been lying beside her had disappeared! The man who should have been lying beside her had disappeared!

Could it be that she had a dream last night?

Just as Li Xiaoran was letting her imagination run wild, a bouquet of flowers appeared in front of her.

She looked up and met Luo Cheng’s handsome face.

“Husband, you’re really back?” Li Xiaoran jumped up and threw herself at Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng hugged Li Xiaoran as he said in her ear with a smile, “Why? Do you think everything last night was a dream?

Li Xiaoran nodded and leaned her head against Luo Cheng.

It was fine as long as he was by her side!

There was no need for constant companionship. It was fine as long as they could spend some time together every day!

There was no need to speak or cling together. It was fine as long as he was around!

“Xiaoran, it’s not good to be so enthusiastic so early in the morning! You have to know that it’s very difficult for me not to be tempted by you in your current state!” Luo Cheng said in Li Xiaoran’s ear.

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately thought of something. After she looked down and saw that she was actually naked, she immediately blushed and immediately let go of Luo Cheng to hide under the blanket.

Seeing this, Luo Cheng smiled, put the flowers aside, and crawled in…

After breakfast in the morning, Li Xiaoran sat in the courtyard and basked in the sun. Her mind was filled with the scenes from last night and this morning.

The more she thought about it, the redder Li Xiaoran’s face became. Then, she simply covered her face with her hands to cool down.

“What are you thinking about? Why do you look so smug?” Shu Ruyue walked over and asked when she saw Li Xiaoran’s distracted look.

When Li Xiaoran heard Shu Ruyue’s voice, she immediately came back to her senses.

“No, nothing!”

After Shu Ruyue sized up Li Xiaoran without saying anything, she sat beside her.

“I know. The reason why you’re so happy is that Mr. Luo is back!” When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately laughed.

“Why did you ask if you knew?!”

“I’m really envious of your relationship with Mr. Luo!” Shu Ruyue said enviously.

“Are you envious? You can have it too!” Li Xiaoran teased.

Shu Ruyue sighed and said, “Forget it, I shouldn’t count on that blockhead Wu

Qinghe!”

“What’s wrong? Did you two have a conflict?” Li Xiaoran asked when she saw Shu Ruyue’s unhappy expression.

“No, it’s not him. It’s a family matter! Do you know? A so-called fiance suddenly appeared!” Shu Ruyue said.

“What? You have a fiance? Why didn’t I know about this?” Li Xiaoran was shocked.

“I just found out, so how can you know?” Shu Ruyue pulled the grass, then threw it away in frustration.

“This is like a TV drama. How can there be such a coincidence? There wasn’t a fiance before, but now you have one?” Li Xiaoran felt that this matter was too fishy.

“You think so too? The key is that that letter was personally written by my father! If I weren’t familiar with my father’s writing method, I would have suspected that that letter was fake! What’s even more suspicious is that my parents actually want me to go back and fulfill the marriage now! Isn’t this ridiculous?!” Shu Ruyue complained.

“What?” Li Xiaoran immediately stood up when she heard this.

To be honest, this matter really shocked her!

She had just found out that Shu Ruyue was engaged and was leaving to get married. Who could tell her what was going on?

“Then are you here to bid farewell to me?” Li Xiaoran asked.

Shu Ruyue shook her head.

“I don’t know. I’m still wondering if I should go back!”

“What will happen if you don’t go back?” Li Xiaoran asked.

“I don’t know! I don’t want to go back! I, Shu Ruyue, don’t like to be restrained by others. I like to follow you because I feel that it’s very comfortable when interacting with you. Moreover, I can always experience novel things by your side. I like Wu Qinghe because I feel that he gives me enough freedom. Can the other party give me such freedom?” Shu Ruyue asked. After Li Xiaoran thought for a moment, she shook her head.

“I’m afraid it’ll be very difficult!”

“So, I don’t plan to go back! I want to see what they’ll do if I don’t go back!” Shu Ruyue said firmly.

“You don’t have to go back, but you still have to send a letter back! You have to explain your thoughts to your parents! Otherwise, if your parents really decide on your marriage, you’ll be doomed!” Li Xiaoran reminded.

“That’s right. You reminded me! I’ll write a letter now!” With that, Shu Ruyue left quickly.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside.

When Li Xiaoran heard the commotion, she walked out to take a look.

As soon as she went out, she saw the people from the government office walking in under Luo Ziyang’s lead.

“What’s going on?” Li Xiaoran asked.

“Madam, it’s about Ling He! Ling He and the others died in their house last night. The people from the government office heard that we sent them back previously, so they came to ask!” Luo Ziyang explained briefly. When Li Xiaoran heard this, her face was filled with surprise.

“Ling He is dead? Wasn’t he fine yesterday?”

When Constable Zheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he asked, “I heard that the consort had a conflict with the Third Prince yesterday!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately understood and sneered.

“What? Are you saying that I secretly sent someone to kill Ling He? Not to mention that I didn’t do it, what good will it do me? So you guys can come and falsely accuse me for no reason?”

When Constable Zheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he smiled awkwardly.

“That’s not what we meant, consort. We’re just asking in order to eliminate all possibilities!”

When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately laughed.

“In that case, I also think you’re quite suspicious! Perhaps you’ve long been displeased with Mr. Luo and took the opportunity to kill the Third Prince and frame me!”

“Consort, how can you falsely accuse us?” Constable Zheng quickly retorted.

Li Xiaoran glanced at him and said coldly, “Why not? Aren’t you suspecting us?

Why can’t we do the same? I think you have a big motive!”
