Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

Li Xueyue was worried about the condition of her heart. It fell when he left, but it jumped again when he turned his head and winked at her before leaving.

She is confused by his unexpected behavior. He is a confusing person with hidden motives. He is different from Wen Jinkai in every way. Yu Zhen is as dazzling as the sun and as round as the moon, a person with too many personalities. He is not cold in the traditional sense, nor is he unnecessarily friendly.

In fact, she knew nothing about him.

Her eyes subconsciously searched for him in the crowd, just as her eyes were only focused on Wen Jinkai. Yu Zhen, that sneaky guy... Since he attracted her attention, he decided to let her work for him.

She jumped when someone brushed past her, then whispered, "See you behind the willow tree."

When Li Xueyue turned around to see who was coming, the person had disappeared.

She glanced briefly in the direction of Wen Jinkai. He didn't move, only his stiff lips curled up slightly. It was barely noticeable from a distance, but she could recognize that lopsided smile from miles away. All the while, he didn't look at her. When he felt her gaze, he raised his eyes, but she had already disappeared.

Li Xueyue ignored the uncomfortable feeling in her stomach. She didn’t care if he was surrounded by women. She didn’t care about his push-pull game. She didn’t care about him and his lies.

Standing under the dense willow trees was none other than Ning Huabing. She led them behind a large hollow in the trees and to the other side, where no one could catch them.

"What are we?" Ning Huabing turned his head and looked at Li Xueyue and asked.

To Li Xueyue's surprise, her gift was put to good use. A pair of bold ruby ​​earrings sat comfortably on Ning Huabing's ears, sparkling with movement.

"You talk as if we are a couple." Li Xueyue folded her arms, leaned against the stubbled tree bark, and snorted.

Ning Huabing raised an eyebrow. "Seriously? This is the first thing you thought of?"

Li Xueyue shrugged and looked around. The willow tree was still healthy, and its drooping branches formed a thick curtain around them, blocking any wandering eyes. Especially, they couldn't be discovered by Bai Tianai and her cronies.

"Why are you looking for daytime love?"

"Why should I tell you?" Li Xueyue had no expression on her face.

"I need to know your motivation for carrying out your plan."

"Who said anything about the plan?" Li Xueyue looked at Ning Huabing who was playing with a branch beside her.

"Why else would you want to be friends with me?"

Li Xueyue nodded slowly. "That makes sense."

"What can I gain from you using me?"

"I won't use you." Li Xueyue frowned and said worriedly. "I just want to be friends with you."

"Oh, please. No one wants to be friends with me just for the sake of being friends with me. Everyone always wants something." Ning Huabing sighed, twisting a branch between his fingers.

"Of course it is. The healthiest relationship is one where both parties benefit," Li Xueyue pointed out.

"So what benefits can I get from this?" Ning Huabing asked curiously. She needed to be sure of everything before she could trust anyone. She needed to know what benefits this would bring her.

Being friends with someone like Bai Tianai was a comfort to Ning Huabing. She felt a sense of familiarity when she became friends with Bai Tianai, because this was the main part of her life - close friendships with other daughters of noble families.

"What do you want?" Li Xueyue asked sincerely.

Ning Huabing didn't say it explicitly, but there was a hint of despair in his eyes. "Believe it or not, I'm 21 years old today."

Li Xueyue's eyes widened. She didn't know that Ning Huabing was three years older than her.

“My mom was worried that I would grow old and lonely because no one was courting me.”

"What?!" Li Xueyue hissed and cast an incredulous look at Ning Huabing. That girl is so beautiful! Why didn't anyone come out?

“I mean… there are a few suitors here and there, but they’re always… just, well, I don’t know.” Ning Huabing shrugged. “They always fade away on me.”

"Did they say why?" Li Xueyue continued to ask, as confused as Ning Huabing. Why did she suspect that all this was manipulated by someone behind the scenes?

"I don't know." Ning Huabing snorted. "They saw my... Oh, never mind." She sighed, not wanting to sound like she was blaming outside influences.

“My point is, I don’t want to be a leftover woman[1].”

"The rest?" Li Xueyue was taken back. Ning Huabing was only twenty-one years old! Her life had just begun!

"Girls who are over the mature marriage age of 18 to 21 are called leftover women..."

Li Xueyue sneered, "How stupid." Sometimes she felt that she was born in the wrong era.

"I know." Ning Huabing hummed, picking a small leaf off the branch he was playing with. "Most of my friends are already in love. I mean, Bai Tianai has Zheng Leiyu, but she has someone else - oh, never mind. I spoke nonsense, sorry."

Li Xueyue narrowed her eyes. Others?

"But you know what I mean, don't you?"

“You want me to find you a suitor?” Li Xueyue was expressionless, blinking in disbelief. She couldn’t understand that Ning Huabing herself was having difficulties. This should be impossible… unless someone interfered with her chances of success.

"Yes, and in return I will help you."

Li Xueyue began to doubt Ning Huabing's alliance. "Prove to me that you can be loyal."

"how?"

Li Xueyue stood up and saw a group of women in the distance, who were Bai Tianai's friends. They looked around, obviously looking for Ning Huabing.

"I'll leave this to you."

“It’s very vague.”

"I know." Li Xueyue said, "I also need to test your intelligence."

"Aren't you afraid that I will report you?"

Li Xueyue smiled, her face filled with a happy smile. She didn't look offended at all. "Believe me, you don't want me to be your enemy."

"why?"

Li Xueyue chuckled, her voice ethereal and gentle. "Because I might become your worst nightmare." After saying that, she left the Willow Tree Realm and left.

Ning Huabing bit her lower lip nervously, thinking of a grand plan to prove her loyalty. She was casually fiddling with her new earrings when someone caught her attention. Immediately, she straightened up and decided to approach him. The man who had colluded with Bai Tianai.
