Chapter 231 Pretending to be stupid

Chapter 231 Feigning Ignorance

Liu Sirong didn't listen at all, staring at Dugu Juechen's exquisite face, clearly a lovesick fool.

Liu Ruxuan gently rubbed her forehead. Why are these two sisters like this?

"Liu Sirong!" Liu Ruxuan shouted, finally snapping out of her daze. "Liu Ruxuan, you actually called me by my name?!"

"Hmm, what? Is it not allowed?" Liu Ruxuan's sharp gaze swept over Liu Sirong.

Liu Sirong frowned, thinking of Liu Ruxuan's current status, and since he needed her help, he held back for a moment and said with a forced smile, "Of course, you are now the head of the Pharmacist Association, so what's wrong with that?"

Liu Ruxuan smiled: "Now you should tell me why you came, right?"

Liu Sirong's gaze swept over Dugu Juechen. Seeing him eating noodles by himself, seemingly indifferent to everything, Liu Sirong felt a slight displeasure, but she couldn't show it, and she became somewhat annoyed.

Liu Sirong's gaze returned to Liu Ruxuan: "Third sister, I have something to tell you. Can we talk in private for a moment?"

Liu Ruxuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay. Master Gong, Si Rong and I will go aside and say a few words."

Dugu Juechen paused for a moment, nodded, and continued to drink his soup.

"This way, please," Liu Ruxuan said, and led the way.

Upon entering the kitchen, Liu Sirong glanced outside to make sure no one had followed, then whispered to Liu Ruxuan, "Third Sister, I know you and Little Sister have always been at odds, but she's been kidnapped because of you, and I hope you can save her."

As she spoke, Liu Sirong handed the note to Liu Ruxuan.

"I don't know who that person is, but he specifically asked you to go to the Demon River Forbidden Land alone tomorrow. My life is in your hands." Liu Sirong hoped that Liu Ruxuan could help rescue him.

Liu Ruxuan glanced at the note, but couldn't imagine who would kidnap Liu Yiting as a hostage to blackmail her.

Seeing Liu Ruxuan in a daze, Liu Sirong's heart also tightened: "Third sister, for the sake of us being family, you..."

"I'll go," Liu Ruxuan interrupted her, speaking up promptly.

"Really? You're willing to help?" Liu Sirong asked repeatedly, afraid that she was hallucinating.

Liu Ruxuan nodded: "It's true, I'll go at midnight tomorrow night."

After Liu Ruxuan finished speaking, she glanced outside and, not seeing Dugu Juechen coming over, whispered to Liu Sirong, "Don't let Master Gong know about this."

Liu Sirong paused for a moment: "Third Sister, you and Master Gong... you're not together, are you?"

Liu Sirong wanted to say something but was too embarrassed to say it.

“That’s right, just as you think.” After saying that, Liu Ruxuan burned the note and walked out of the kitchen.

Dugu Juechen remained obediently seated, drinking his soup.

Having achieved her goal, Liu Sirong left without lingering.

Dugu Juechen had finished eating and drinking, and his gaze was fixed on Liu Ruxuan, making Liu Ruxuan shudder: "Dugu Juechen, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Are you sure you don't want to tell me?" Dugu Juechen said calmly.

"What are you saying?" Liu Ruxuan pretended to be stupid.

"I won't let you go alone." Dugu Juechen made up his mind to stay here tonight.

"You...you knew all along?" Liu Ruxuan thought it was impossible; Dugu Juechen hadn't gotten close at all during their conversation.

"Of course." Dugu Juechen said, standing up and putting his arm around Liu Ruxuan's waist. "Little Xuan, I don't want you to hide anything from me. This is the only time. If you do it again, I will definitely not be lenient." (He meant to devour her whole.)

Of course, Dugu Juechen didn't say the last sentence.

The two were standing very close together, and Liu Ruxuan blushed and her heart pounded: "I won't do it again..."

Liu Ruxuan never imagined that Dugu Juechen could hear it from so far away; she was speechless!

Seeing that Liu Ruxuan had given in, Dugu Juechen softened his attitude considerably.

"Dugu Juechen, what is your strength?" Liu Ruxuan suddenly realized that after knowing him for so long, she had never known him!
