Chapter 250: Senior Sister Xiaoxuan Star Moves, Peach Blossom Luck Strikes

Chapter 250: Senior Sister Xiaoxuan Star Moves, Peach Blossom Luck Strikes Ling Xiaoxuan didn't like to hear this. She held onto Qin Ruan's arm and exaggeratedly said, "How can you say that so lightly? You are my savior. I even want to offer myself to you!" She was truly grateful to Qin Ruan. This junior sister appeared cold and indifferent, but she was actually very loyal. Most importantly, she had known Qin Ruan for so long, but this girl had always kept her skills hidden. Before experiencing the Shanyao incident, Ling Xiaoxuan never knew that Qin Ruan could actually control ghost. Her abilities were even higher than those of the Celestial Masters that the Ling family had sought out. "Offering myself to you is a joke, I am a married woman." Qin Ruan pulled Ling Xiaoxuan's arm down, turned around, and casually put the card in her hand into the backpack on the table. "Married?!" Ling Xiaoxuan was stunned. Qin Ruan was younger than her, yet she said she was married. "Are you kidding me? Did your stepmother finally make a move on you in public?" Ling Xiaoxuan never asked about Qin Ruan's family background before, and she had a very good grasp of their relationship. But now, she couldn't care less. If Qin Ruan was really harmed by her stepmother, she would not sit idly by and watch her being bullied. "It's not that." Qin Ruan put the card away and smiled. "I found it myself." This statement was not false at all. Whether it was their initial meeting at the Royal palace Hotel or Qin Ruan going to Hou Yunjiao with her pregnancy test in this life, it seemed like she took the initiative in everything. After all, Hou Yunjiao was the family she had found for herself. But Ling Xiaoxuan didn't believe it. "Qin Ruan, don't joke around. You're still so young." "I'm just the right age to get married and have children." Qin Ruan replied with a smile. Qin Ruan held his hands and lifted his chin towards Ling Xiaoxuan. "You're not going to talk about me. How about you? Why didn't you rest at home for a while and ran to the school to avoid trouble?" Ling Xiaoxuan was stunned once again. She opened her mouth slightly, staring at Qin Ruan in amazement. "You can not only catch ghost, but also calculate fortunes, right?" she asked. "I have some knowledge of it," Qin Ruan nodded lightly. Ling Xiaoxuan looked hopeless and melancholic. "This world is too crazy!" she exclaimed. Qin Ruan chuckled. "What happened?" "Do you remember the Du family?" Ling Xiaoxuan asked. "Your ex-fiance's family?" "Yes," Ling Xiaoxuan nodded vigorously. "Du Changheng died, and the Du family actually wants me to continue with the wedding ceremony. Isn't that insane? I'm as beautiful as a flower. Who wants to marry a ghost? Du Changheng was never content, and if the Ling family had not let them go, they would have tried to take advantage of us even more!" "ghost marriage?" Qin Ruan's eyebrows furrowed. Generally, ghost marriages are held due to customs. In other words, they are intended to find a spouse for a deceased person. Some people believe that if an unmarried person dies, and a partner is not found for them after death, their ghost will haunt the living and bring misfortune to the family. Therefore, in many places, after an unmarried member of a family dies, a ghost wedding ceremony will be held. The partner found will be buried with the deceased person, becoming their spouse and being buried together. This also avoids the appearance of lonely graves. People in ancient times were superstitious about the feng shui of burial sites and believed that the appearance of a lone grave would affect the prosperity of future generations of the family. Many nobles or wealthy households often held such activities. Of course, looking at it from a modern perspective, some ghost marriages are also a sentimental attachment of family members, considering the unmarried child who died. But the Du family... Qin Ruan's eyebrows furrowed, and hee face looked strange. From her impression of Mr. and Mrs. Du in Qishan, she didn't think they were the kind of people who would risk offending the Ling family for the sake of their son. She stared at Ling Xiaoxuan calmly, and a faint golden light flashed in her eyes. After a moment, Qin Ruan finally sensed that something was off. "Senior, has anything strange happened to you recently?" "Strange?," Ling Xiaoxuan's hair stood on end at Qin Ruan's opening remarks. You see, every time Qin Ruan starts like this, it's never a good thing. Ling Xiaoxuan rubbed her arm. "Qin Ruan, don't scare me. I've been eating well, sleeping well, and everything's been normal except for the troubles caused by the Du family coming to our door." "Is that so?" Qin Ruan couldn't help but smile at the fear that washed over her face. "Yes!" Ling Xiaoxuan nodded vigorously, afraid that Qin Ruan wouldn't believe her. "I can see from your facial features that the Red Luan star is moving, and your love life is coming. Have you met anyone recently?"  Ling Xiaoxuan's pale face quickly turned red. She dodged Qin Ruan's gaze and didn't dare to look her in the eye. "Who? I just got divorced," Ling Xiaoxuan said stubbornly. "Since you haven't, why do you look so guilty?" Qin Ruan walked up to Ling Xiaoxuan with a book in her arms. She reached out her fingertips and gently touched Ling Xiaoxuan's forehead. After a moment, she sighed. "It's a pity. The path of love is full of twists and turns, and it's not easy for you, Senior." To avoid feeling guilty, Ling Xiaoxuan looked Qin Ruan straight in the eye. Hearing Qin Ruan's words, she didn't pay much attention to her expression. She touched her wine-red curly hair in front of her and spoke and acted naturally and gracefully. "If it's not easy, it's not easy. Anyway, I don't want any other men in my life." This is what it means to have someone you like. Qin Ruan smiled and remained silent, thinking to herself that Ling Xiaoxuan was hiding her feelings deep inside. She saw through but didn't reveal it. "Xiaoxuan, keep going!" Qin Ruan stretched out her arms and gave Ling Xiaoxuan a comforting hug. "Disrespectful, call me 'sister'." Her relentless questioning put Ling Xiaoxuan at ease. Some things cannot be said. Once people find out, they won't receive blessings, but rather an attitude of incomprehension and dissent. Qin Ruan released her and a smile appeared on her face, sweet and charming. "Sister, I'm leaving now. Call me if you need anything." Ling Xiaoxuan replied nonchalantly, "I know. I'll just stay in the dormitory. Nothing will happen." Qin Ruan said, "Don't worry too much. I have a feeling that the Du family is up to no good." "What can they do if they are up to no good? They're dreaming if they want me to marry Du Changheng!" Ling Xiaoxuan flipped her coquettish curly hair, her eyes full of pride as a member of a noble family. The Du family and the Ling family have different social status. Even if they want to do something, they have to consider whether they can bear the wrath of the Ling family afterwards. "Sister, I'm serious. The Du family wouldn't dare to offend the Ling family. They know the consequences of doing so. If they still insist on going against the Ling family, it's because there must be greater benefits behind it or they have no choice." Qin Ruan had some guesses about the situation in the Du family. It was just a guess, as she hadn't confirmed it with her own eyes. Ling Xiaoxuan's expression changed slightly. "That does seem strange." The Du family's attitude had indeed changed, which was why her uncle advised her not to have contact with the Du family and even sent her to school to seek protection from Qin Ruan. Ling Xiaoxuan didn't know what she was thinking and her coquettish face showed a hint of fear. "Um, Qin Ruan, I've decided to go to the library with you after all!" She even changed her previous decision. (End of this chapter)
