Seeing the haughty expression on Ren Ning’s face, Xue An couldn’t help but chuckle.

"You really want to know that much?"

"Of course! After all, I’ve already told you my beautiful name, but you won’t even reveal your real name. How is that fair to me?"

Just as she was rambling on, Xue An suddenly leaned forward, coming right up to her.

This sudden proximity startled Ren Ning, and she instinctively wanted to retreat, but she forgot that since boarding the carriage, she had been sitting in the farthest corner from Xue An.

So her retreat ended with her back against the wall, leaving her with nowhere to go.

"You... what do you want to do?" Ren Ning stammered, her voice shaking.

Xue An’s lips curved into a smile, and then he slowly lowered his head.

In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Ren Ning’s mind.

What should I do?

This guy obviously sees how beautiful I am and is losing control, but should I resist?

If I don’t resist, I’ll be at a disadvantage. If I do resist... well, he’s quite handsome...

In that moment, countless thoughts and images tangled in Ren Ning’s mind, and then, resigning herself to fate, she closed her eyes.

Never mind.

If I have to give in, at least it’s better than giving it to that spoiled rich kid.

At least he’s good-looking!

Just when she had resolved to put a touch of green on the head of the Great General’s son, Xue An leaned down to her ear.

"If you want to know my name, you can, but you have to take off your veil first."

Ren Ning’s eyes flew open, a hint of anger flashing in them.

She was ready to make a sacrifice, and this is all she got?

At this moment, she saw the mischievous gleam in Xue An’s eyes and realized she was being fooled, causing her anger to surge.

This bastard!

He dared to toy with me!

She huffed, "Why should I?"

Xue An bared two white teeth, smiling smugly, "Because I want to see what lies beneath that veil! If it’s just some plain powder and rouge, then you’re unworthy of knowing my name."

Ren Ning was almost bursting with anger.

This guy was still making snide remarks at a time like this.

So she sneered, "As if I care. Forget it!"

"Oh? So by saying that, you’re admitting you lack confidence in your looks?" Xue An smiled.

"I am not!"

"Then why don’t you dare to take off the veil?"

"I...I don’t want to. What’s it to you?"

Though she said this, Ren Ning clearly lacked confidence.

Xue An stayed silent, just watching her quietly.

Ren Ning started to feel flustered under Xue An’s gaze and couldn’t help but lower her head.

The carriage became very quiet.

So quiet that Ren Ning could hear her own heartbeat.

Even without looking up, Ren Ning could feel Xue An’s gaze, and her mind was again filled with all sorts of thoughts.

Why is he still in front of me, not going back?

Such an irritating guy!

But he does smell nice, like fresh grass!

Just as this wealthy young lady’s imagination was running wild again, Xue An suddenly spoke in a deep voice.

"Are there any others following besides this convoy?"

Huh?

Ren Ning didn’t quite catch on, and looked up at Xue An, wanting to ask what he meant.

Right then, the carriage, which had been very stable, suddenly shook violently.

Thrown off balance, Ren Ning let out a cry and tumbled towards Xue An.

Seeing that she was about to fall into Xue An’s arms, a thought crossed her mind.

I’m done for!

Looks like I’m really falling into the tiger’s mouth, I just hope he’ll be gentle with me, considering I am...

These chaotic thoughts made her face flush red as she fell.

But just then, a large hand suddenly appeared, grabbing her head and stopping her fall, placing her safely to the side.

Throughout the entire process, Ren Ning was in a state of bewilderment. It wasn’t until she stopped moving that she realized what happened, feeling a surge of indescribable humiliation.

Did I just try to throw myself into his arms and get ruthlessly rejected?

What’s worse, the manner of rejection was so insulting, using his hand to grab my face!

@#￥￥%%....

Ren Ning’s mind was filled with thousands of words of complaints.

But Xue An didn’t care what she thought. He kept a cold look on his face, gazing out the window.

Outside the window was another equally luxurious carriage.

The earlier violent jolt was obviously caused by this suddenly appearing carriage.

At this moment, Ren Ning also saw the carriage outside and was momentarily stunned.

"It’s Ren Xing!"

As soon as she finished speaking, an arrogant female voice came into the carriage.

"Oh, it turns out it’s my dear sister! I’m so sorry, I wasn’t paying attention while driving just now and bumped into you. Are you okay, sister?"

Ren Ning’s expression grew strange, a mix of anger, dissatisfaction, and mostly a hint of fear.

"Who was that speaking?" Xue An asked calmly.

"That’s my sister Ren Xing. I never expected to run into her here, such a killjoy!" Ren Ning muttered softly, not even daring to respond loudly.

At this moment, Ren Xing’s voice came in again.

"Huh? Dear sister, why aren’t you saying anything? Are you mad at me? Shall I come over and apologize in person?"

"N-no need! I’m fine." Ren Ning replied weakly.

At this moment, inside the opposite carriage, a girl no older than fifteen or sixteen with equally stunning looks but with an arrogant expression sneered at her friends.

"See that? My useless sister is such a pushover, she doesn’t even dare to speak loudly except to daydream all day!"

The few girls of a similar age couldn’t help bursting into laughter.

"I heard the Great General’s son is a real spoiled brat. With your sister’s temper, wouldn’t she be bullied to no end if she marries him?"

Ren Xing scoffed, "She brought it on herself. What’s to stop her from being so weak!"

Just then, Ren Ning’s carriage suddenly turned and charged straight towards Ren Xing’s.

Ren Xing never dreamed her doormat sister would dare do such a thing and froze.

Meanwhile, the carriage was already upon them, heavily crashing into Ren Xing’s carriage.

Ren Xing let out a scream.

Ren Ning screamed too.

She watched in horror as Xue An, who had snatched the reins from the driver’s seat, steered, "You... what are you doing?"

"Doing what? Of course, I’m giving your sister a lesson for you!" Xue An replied casually.
