"What do you want from me? Just say it!"
With only her and Xue Huan present, Yu Suihuan was too lazy to beat around the bush and got straight to the point.
Seeing Yu Suihuan's attitude, Xue Lan initially wanted to lash out but held back, wanting to gather more information.
"Weren't you asking about Yang Qinghe last time? Has he returned?"
"Not at all. He's on a mission and it's hard to get in touch with him. We only exchanged a few words over the phone."
Yu Suihuan remained silent, looking at Xue Lan, waiting for her to continue.
She could guess that Xue Lan likely had feelings for Yang Qinghe; otherwise, why would she have reacted so strongly when Yu Suihuan merely asked for directions last time?
"He mentioned that he had a girlfriend with the surname Yu when he was out in the countryside, but unfortunately, that girl has passed away. He asked me to inquire about your relationship with her. Are you facing any difficulties in Jing City? You know, since they were once involved, we could offer help if you're in trouble."
Xue Lan's words sounded casual, yet each sentence was laced with probing undertones that Yu Suihuan could easily detect.
"I am Yu Songyu's cousin. I haven't encountered any difficulties since coming to Jing City, so I don't need your help. Thank you!"
Yu Suihuan emphasized "you" when she said it.
"Then why did you seek him out last time?"
Xue Lan was relentless; she couldn't rest easy without getting an answer. Moreover, she didn't want to have too much interaction with Yu Suihuan, so it was best to clarify everything in one go.
"I just heard my cousin mention him before. Now that my cousin is gone and I happen to be studying in Jing City, I wanted to meet him." She hesitated before adding, "Just as a..."
Yu Suihuan intended to say "to reminisce," but suddenly realized that Yang Qinghe wasn't just an object of memory; using that term felt inaccurate.
"Just as what?"
Seeing Yu Suihuan stop mid-sentence, Xue Lan grew anxious, her previous friendliness fading away.
"To reminisce about old times!"
Yu Suihuan smirked; she was nearly certain that this girl liked Yang Qinghe, given how nervous she appeared.
"Oh!"
Upon hearing Yu Suihuan's response, Xue Lan finally let out a sigh of relief.
"But..."
Yu Suihuan deliberately left her sentence unfinished, causing Xue Lan's heart to leap back into her throat just as she had begun to relax.
But what?
I also want to see how my cousin's former lover is doing. This way, when I go back to pay my respects, I can at least have something to share with her!
You’re only allowed to pry for information, but I can’t? Yu Suihuan scoffed inwardly.
He’s doing very well!
Seeing that the questions she wanted answered had already been addressed, Xue Lan couldn’t be bothered to pretend anymore. After all, she was a child raised in the imperial capital, inherently exuding a sense of superiority, and looked down on girls like Yu Suihuan from small towns.
Her attitude was cold, her tone dismissive as she continued, “He’s quite impressive now. He’s already become Ying Zhang, the King of Soldiers in the army, and his future looks bright!” More importantly,
Xue Lan deliberately dragged out her words as if to retaliate against Yu Suihuan for not finishing her earlier statement.
What is it?
Yu Suihuan had long seen through her earlier enthusiasm as an act, so she wasn’t surprised by the sudden shift in Xue Lan’s demeanor and didn’t mind it either.
More importantly, he’s engaged now. His fiancée is the daughter of the Military District Commander; they are a perfect match in both talent and background, envied by many. Moreover, their relationship is strong, and they are set to marry soon!
As Xue Lan said this, she emphasized nearly every word. It was as if each word was a dagger aimed at Yu Suihuan.
Well, that’s great! I’ll tell my cousin all about this; she will surely be happy for him. However, my cousin was always a curious person in life. If she knew about this, she would definitely be unable to resist coming to see Yang Qinghe's fiancée! And...
