Chapter 40

Hero save the beauty

Recalling these event Qing Ran didn't try to get the shoe but turned to see if she could see Kan Wang. When An Yan Ran realized that her plan failed she stood up unsteady trying to reach AnQing Ran in order to push her into the water!

On the path, maids led guest one after the other. However, Qing-Ran couldn't see the familiar figure and felt that something wasn't right. She wanted to leave but she paused. She needed a plan!

An Yan Ran’s eyes were burning with hatred. She was about to touch An Qing Ran when suddenly the other girl screamed and moved away.

Yan Ran didn’t expect this reaction and lost her balance, falling into the lake's freezing water…

Everything happened in an instant. The small maid standing at the side didn't understand what was happening until she noticed An Qing Ran sitting on the floor and staring at Yan Ran's cloak floating in the water.

The girl on the floor slowly got on her feet. Turning around she started to shout for help. Qin Ran tried to walk but she felt a terrible pain on her ankle, the world turned black for a moment and she fell back on the floor gasping.

Damned! She was just too nervous! She just wanted to avoid Yan Ran but now she had hurt her foot! A huge mess followed. Qing Ran heard footsteps then a tall figure jumped in the lake. She was so confused.

In her past life, it was also that tall figure that saved her from the freezing water. She could clearly remember the elegant appearance of Kang Wang, Dong Fang Ye. It was love at first sight!

Kang Wang fame also rose because of the incident. He was the hero who saved the beauty. Once the rumours reached Yunqi Emperor's ears he bestowed them a marriage edict.

In this life, the Emperor had no reason to do such a thing! He didn’t have a reason to get the two married anymore!

An Qing Ran gazed at the lake. After a long while, Dong Fang Ye came out holding AnYan Ran. A group of maids were waiting on the side to help them. Yan Ran was coughing be she seemed fine.

An Qing Ran heart calmed down. She had been so afraid that the past would repeat itself because of this incident. She solved it so easily! That man would get some fame but he wouldn’t have the chance to taste the fruit of victory!

While Qing Ran was lost in thoughts someone lifted her off the ground. Looking up, she met a pair of deep phoenix eyes quietly looking at her.

"What are you doing! Let me down!"

She exclaimed when she noticed who the person was.

"It seems that Miss An didn’t realize that she was injured"

Replied Dong Fang Jin in a whisper.

Even if her ankle was in pain An Qing Ran stubbornly struggled. Dong Fang Jin gave up and put her down frowning.

"What are you thinking?"

He asked, his face sullen.

An Qing Ran's eyes remained on the lake. She watched as a dripping Dong Fang Ye walked to the shore his face pale. An Yan Ran eyes were fixed on the man's face. She never even tried to glance in Qing Ran's direction.

A cold smile was on An Qing Ran's lips. She had been attracted by that man appearance, little did she know…

Suddenly a hot and clear voice murmured in her ear

"What is it that you are really hating?"
