Ni Chang heard this and felt a tightness in her heart. This was exactly her deep-seated worry. Her expression instantly became complicated, and her eyes couldn't help but show some emotion. Her voice trembled slightly as she asked, "How...how did you know?"
Han Wudao saw her reaction and became even more pleased, continuing, "I'm just worried about Miss. After all, how much do you really know about Ye Ran's background?" His words carried a hint of temptation, trying to shake Ni Chang's trust in Ye Ran.
At that moment, Ye Ran and Mo Xiaobai suddenly leaped out from the shadows. Ye Ran's eyes were cold as he stared straight at Han Wudao: "Han Wudao, your conspiracy has been exposed. Surrender now!"
Han Wudao looked at Ye Ran and Mo Xiaobai in surprise, his heart in turmoil. He quickly took a few steps back, attempting to escape. Ye Ran swiftly caught up to Han Wudao, and a chase began in the courtyard.
Han Wudao saw the situation was not good, so he used his profound lightness skill to leap over the courtyard wall, disappearing into the night.
Ye Ran and Mo Xiaobai hurriedly chased to the wall, only to find a quiet night scene, with Han Wudao already vanished without a trace. Ye Ran furrowed his brow, and Mo Xiaobai looked at Ye Ran and softly said, "This person is cunning. Although he escaped today, he will surely face retribution in the future."
Ni Chang stood in the courtyard, her heart filled with deep conflict and struggle. The words of Han Wudao were like a sharp blade, piercing deep into her soul. Although she trusted Ye Ran completely, deep inside, she was still filled with fear for the future. Her body trembled slightly, her face pale.
Ye Ran returned to Ni Chang's side and, seeing her worried expression, felt a pang in his heart. He gently comforted her, saying, " Ni Chang, don't believe Han Wudao's sweet words. My feelings for you have always been sincere and steadfast."
Ni Chang Lifted her head, tears shimmering in her eyes with complex emotions: "Ran, I know you are sincere, but I... I'm afraid, afraid that one day you will leave me."
After saying that, she turned and walked away, not wanting anyone to see her disheveled appearance.
Ni Chang's footsteps gradually faded in the quiet courtyard, her figure appearing particularly delicate in the moonlight, as if a gust of wind could blow her away. Ye Ran watched her receding figure, feeling a inexplicable sense of melancholy.
In the night, Ni Chang walked alone, crossing the long corridor and returning to her room. She sat quietly by the window, gazing at the moonlight outside, filled with conflicting emotions and struggles. Although she harbored deep feelings for Ye Ran, Han Wudao's words stirred up turmoil in her heart.
Ni Chang's heart is filled with confusion. She is dissatisfied with Ye Ran's hidden identity, but also deeply admires him as a person. Ni Chang unconsciously runs her fingers along the window sill, her eyes revealing a sense of confusion and perplexity, as if searching for answers.
The moonlight outside the window is cold, casting a pale light on Ni Chang's face. Her thoughts drift far away, and the pureness and pride, innocence and stubbornness in her heart intertwine into a complex emotional picture. She murmurs softly to herself, "When will I be able to glimpse your past, your secrets? If you choose to leave, where should I go from here?"
In Ni Chang's heart, her feelings for Ye Ran grew stronger day by day, but Han Wudao's words were like a thorn, constantly reminding her. She struggled in her heart, torn between her deep affection for Ye Ran and the fear of the unknown.
She got up, walked to the bedside, sat down, and gently ran her hands over the cold sheets.
At that moment, Ye Ran lightly knocked on her door. Ni Chang got up at the sound, walked to the door, and gently opened it. Ye Ran stood outside the door, with a worried look in his eyes, but trying to appear relaxed. He asked softly, "Miss, can we talk for a moment?"
Ni Chang nodded, her voice sounding stifled and aggrieved, "...okay."
Two people sat in the room, with moonlight streaming in through the window, adding a sense of tranquility to the atmosphere. Ye Ran's eyes revealed sincerity as he spoke, "Ni Chang, I know you are unhappy about me hiding my identity from you, and that's my fault. But I want you to know that my feelings for you have never changed."
Ni Chang listened quietly, her eyes showing emotion. She responded softly, "Ran, I am indeed a little unhappy. Why didn't you tell me earlier? But I am more afraid that one day, you will leave without a word."
Ye Ran fell silent for a moment, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Because of my complicated identity, I don't want to involve you in the disputes of the martial arts world. But now it seems that I was wrong. I shouldn't have concealed it from you and caused you unnecessary worry. Ni Chang, I promise you that we will never be separated in this lifetime. I will always be by your side, never leaving."
Ni Chang slowly released some of the emotional entanglement in her heart, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Ran, I can feel your sincerity. Perhaps I should trust you more."
Ye Ran looked at Ni Chang with a content expression and said, "Ni Chang, your understanding means a lot to me. I will prove through my actions that my love for you is not just empty words."
As the night grew late, Ni Chang gently got up to see Ye Ran off. Ye Ran's figure gradually receded in the moonlight, until it disappeared from Ni Chang's sight. Ni Chang stood quietly by the window, gazing at the night.
Her eyes were deep, clear as autumn water, reflecting the moonlight outside. Despite the promise from Ye Ran, her heart still couldn't help but fluctuate. Her feelings for Ye Ran were as deep and complex as the night.
The next morning, Ni Chang sat in the courtyard, holding an ancient book, but her gaze drifted towards the distance. Her thoughts seemed to still linger on the conversation from last night. Ye Ran noticed Ni Chang's mood and decided to find a way to make her happy.
Ye Ran walked lightly to Ni Chang's side, wearing a mischievous smile. "Miss, you seem so lost in thought. Are you thinking about me?" He deliberately spoke in a flirtatious manner, trying to cheer her up.
Ni Chang smiled slightly, but with a hint of helplessness in her expression. "You always speak so frivolously," she said in a gentle voice, with a touch of coquetry.
Ye Ran saw Ni Chang smile and felt a sense of joy in his heart. He then said, "I am actually quite serious, but I can't help but want to make you laugh when I'm with you." With that, he intentionally made a funny expression.
Ni Chang shook her head gently, but the smile in her eyes grew even stronger. Ye Ran looked at her, feeling tenderness in his heart. He sat down beside Ni Chang and said, "Miss, I know you have many worries in your heart, but I hope you can believe that, no matter what the future holds, I will be with you."
Ni Chang turned her head to look at Ye Ran, her eyes revealing deep trust: "Ran, I trust you." Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's whisper, but each word was filled with determination.
Seeing this, Ye Ran reached out and gently held Ni Chang's hand, saying, "I will prove my commitment to you through my actions. From now on, no matter the wind and rain, I will protect you." As he spoke, his eyes were filled with determination.
Ni Chang's heart was deeply touched by these words. Ye Ran's words were like a warm spring breeze, dispersing the doubts in her heart. Her mood gradually relaxed, and she smiled at Ye Ran like a flower. At this moment, all worries and doubts seemed to dissipate.
In the courtyard, the flowers bloomed quietly as Ni Chang and Ye Ran sat together, their hearts drawing closer to each other.
On this day, Ye Ran specially prepared a small surprise for Ni Chang. He took Ni Chang to a quiet little lake in the mansion. The lake water was a beautiful emerald green, and the willow trees by the lake swayed gracefully, everything appeared exceptionally beautiful.
Ye Ran personally brewed tea for Ni Chang, and the faint tea fragrance blended with the lakeside scenery. Ni Chang smiled and slowly savored the tea fragrance, a long-lost sense of relaxation and joy appeared on her face.
Ye Ran looked at Ni Chang and secretly decided that no matter what, he would make Ni Chang feel more happiness. A mischievous smile played at the corner of his mouth, as if he were planning some kind of prank.
Suddenly, Ye Ran pretended to be surprised and pointed to the lake, saying, "Look, there's something in the lake!"
Ni Chang turned her head immediately at the sound, only to see a few floating willow leaves in the lake. When she turned back, she found Ye Ran secretly placing a delicate little flower in her hair.
"This flower suits you so well, even more charming than the scenery in the lake," Ye Ran said with a smile, his eyes full of affection.
Ni Chang was teased into giggles, and the worried look on her face instantly disappeared, replaced by a girlish shyness. She reproached in a delicate voice, "You, you're really good at teasing people."
Ye Ran at the words, innocently shrugged, "I'm very serious, you see, the scenery by the lake is so beautiful, how could I let you miss it?"
Ni Chang listened to Ye Ran's words and couldn't help but laugh even more happily. She felt the joy that Ye Ran brought to her, and her worries and anxieties gradually dissipated. As she looked at Ye Ran, the smile in her eyes became even gentler.
The two of them sat by the lake, enjoying this peaceful and beautiful moment. The lake water gently lapped at the shore, and the willow trees swayed gently in the wind, everything seemed so harmonious.
As time passed and the sun set in the west, the lake surface was dyed golden. Ye Ran and Ni Chang sat by the lake, quietly watching the sunset, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility. At this moment, Ni Chang's heart was filled with happiness. She leaned on Ye Ran's shoulder and softly said, "Ran, thank you for everything you've done for me."
Ye Ran smiled slightly and replied tenderly, "For you, it's worth it."
