Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 343 - 343 327 Why Not Cry Again_1

343: Chapter 327: Why Not Cry Again_1 343: Chapter 327: Why Not Cry Again_1 Zhong Ling’er looked suspicious and asked, “Are you a fortune-teller?”

Qin Lan replied with a smile, “Something like that.”

Zhong Ling’er then said, “Why don’t you predict what my loved one’s name is.”

The corners of Qin Lan’s mouth curled up as she replied, “Lu Chuan.”

Zhong Ling’er’s eyes widened in surprise and said, “I didn’t expect you to actually have some skill, now tell me what my loved one is doing at this moment.”

Qin Lan turned her head to glance around, then pulled Zhong Ling’er to a corner of the wall and said, “I’ll let you see for yourself.”

Zhong Ling’er looked dubious, thinking this person was acting all sneaky and didn’t seem like a good person.

Qin Lan used a spell to conjure up an image of Han Qingci’s room.

What appeared before them were the backs of a man and woman, naked in a bathing tub.

Qin Lan’s face showed a look of anticipation, thinking that once Zhong Ling’er saw what Lu Chuan and Han Qingci were like at this moment, she would surely explode with rage.

Then Qin Lan could take advantage of Zhong Ling’er to cause some trouble for Lu Chuan.

After the incident with Han Qingci, she felt that impersonating someone close wasn’t a good approach and that she should instead strike at the target’s heart.

If she could stir up the jealousy in Zhong Ling’er’s heart, and then provide a little guidance, she was certain to provoke her into some extreme actions, which in turn would create trouble for Lu Chuan.

Yet, to Qin Lan’s surprise, Zhong Ling’er just glanced at the image briefly, then quickly retreated, saying disdainfully, “I was wondering why you were so sneaky.

It turns out you’re peddling this kind of stuff.

Your equipment is quite fancy, able to project holograms, but unfortunately, I don’t fancy watching this sort of thing.

You should find someone else to sell it to.”

Having said that, she hurried away, not wanting to spend another minute with someone who sold unsavory videos.

She didn’t even recognize that the two people in the scene were Lu Chuan and Han Qingci.

Qin Lan was dumbfounded and quickly called after Zhong Ling’er, “Hey, didn’t you look carefully?

This isn’t some film!”

Zhong Ling’er didn’t pay any attention and quickly vanished at the end of the road.

Qin Lan cursed inwardly, never dreaming she would be mistaken for someone selling videos.

“Damn girl, Han Qingci is smart and can’t be fooled, but I don’t believe I can’t trick someone as straightforward as you!” she huffed.

After a cold snort, she too turned and left the place.

…

The Han family.

After a long treatment, Lu Chuan finally managed to expel the sinister force from Han Qingci’s body.

However, since her injuries were still present, Han Qingci continued to be unconscious.

Lu Chuan lifted Han Qingci out of the bath and, after drying her off, dressed her in her clothes.

Once everything was in order, he went out of the room and called Zhou Yun over.

“Qingci’s condition has stabilized.

Now, all she needs is treatment for her injuries.

I’ll come over every day to give Qingci acupuncture and prepare her medicine.

I promise to return a lively Qingci to you.”

Zhou Yun snorted coldly, “I hope you can do as you say!”

Lu Chuan didn’t say anything more and went to the market to buy medicinal herbs for treating Han Qingci’s injuries.

Returning to the Han family with the medicinal herbs, he prepared the medicine and helped Han Qingci drink it.

Afterward, he gave her acupuncture.

When the treatment was over, he told Zhou Yun that Han Qingci would need about a week to recover, and once she felt a bit better, she would wake up on her own.

He then returned to the Martial Arts Association.

For the next three days, Lu Chuan visited the Han family daily to help treat Han Qingci.

That afternoon, after Lu Chuan helped Han Qingci take her medicine and finish her acupuncture, she slowly opened her eyes.

Seeing Lu Chuan, she immediately called out, “Brother Lu Chuan…”

Upon seeing this, Lu Chuan quickly sat by the bedside and asked with concern, “Qingci, you’re awake.

How do you feel now?”

Han Qingci was about to speak, evidently recalling what had happened before she became unconscious, and her expression turned icy.

Turning her head away, she said, “I’m fine.

Leave me alone; I don’t need your concern.”

Zhou Yun, seeing that Han Qingci had come to, felt a weight lift from her heart.

She walked over, touched Han Qingci’s cheek, and said, “My girl, you finally woke up.

I’ve been so worried these past few days.”

Han Qingci replied, “Mom, I don’t want to see that annoying person next to me, make him go away.”

Zhou Yun rolled her eyes and said, “He is indeed annoying, but I have something to take care of and need to step out.

You still need someone to look after you, so please bear with him for now.”

After speaking, she turned to Lu Chuan, her face expressionless, “I’ll be out for a while; take good care of Qingci.

If you upset her again, don’t blame me for not being polite to you!”

With that, she left the room and closed the door behind her, leaving the two alone.

Han Qingci, without looking at Lu Chuan, said, “Hurry up and leave; I don’t want to see you.”

Lu Chuan, feeling helpless, replied, “Qingci, you’ve misunderstood me.

Mingzhu has told me everything.

That night, Ling’er came to find me on her own.

She kissed me when I wasn’t looking and then insisted on staying in my room.

After Mingzhu informed me, I sent Ling’er away.

It’s not what you think.”

Han Qingci heard this and a hint of emotion appeared in her eyes; she turned to glance at Lu Chuan and asked, “Really?”

Lu Chuan immediately swore, “I swear, if I’m telling even half a lie, may the heavens strike me with lightning and let me die without a place to bury!”

Han Qingci felt an urge to throw herself into Lu Chuan’s arms, but she ultimately resisted.

Even if what this guy said was true, he had been intimate with Ling’er.

She had offered herself, and he wouldn’t touch her, so why continue to demean herself.

She turned her head away again and said, “Then I don’t want to see you either.

I don’t like you anymore, go away.”

Lu Chuan thought for a moment and said, “Really?

Well, if you don’t like me anymore, I can only go find Ling’er then.”

Upon hearing this, Han Qingci instantly turned her gaze to Lu Chuan, her eyes filled with hurt.

If it weren’t for her physical weakness, she probably would have pounced on him right there.

Lu Chuan looked at her with a teasing smile, gently stroked her cheek, and laughed, “Just kidding with you.

Seeing your reaction, it seems like you still really like me, huh?”

Han Qingci snorted and said, “As if I like you!”

Lu Chuan pinched Han Qingci’s cheek and said, “Qingci, do you remember what the person who injured you looked like?

This person harbors ill intentions, and I must find him, otherwise there might be other unexpected events.”

Han Qingci said, “That person took on Mingzhu’s appearance, I don’t know what her real face looks like.”

Lu Chuan pondered for a moment but still couldn’t figure out who was behind the mischief.

He decided to put it aside for now.

He looked at Han Qingci and said, “Qingci, were you really upset that night, cried a lot?”

Han Qingci thought Lu Chuan was showing concern and told herself she had to stand her ground.

She couldn’t just forgive him easily because she was deeply in love with him—no matter what sweet talk he used, she had to stay firm and not forgive him right away.

“Why do you ask?” She turned her body away, showing her back to Lu Chuan, waiting for him to coax her.

But she heard Lu Chuan say, “Since you cried so badly that day, why not cry a bit more now, I need your tears to resolve some trouble.”

Han Qingci stared at him in disbelief, turning around to face Lu Chuan, feeling even more aggrieved.

He’s not comforting me and now he wants me to cry again?

If she hadn’t been drinking less water due to fainting these past few days and her eyes weren’t so dry, she probably would have cried then and there.

Angry, she said, “You’re too much!

I hate you, just get out, and don’t come to see me again!”

Lu Chuan quickly said, “Qingci, don’t misunderstand, I didn’t mean to upset you to make you cry.

I just encountered some trouble, and only your tears can solve it.

I didn’t mean anything else!”

Han Qingci said indignantly, “I vowed that very night that I would never shed a tear for you again in my lifetime.

Don’t even think I’ll cry for you again!”

Lu Chuan’s eyes widened.

If that was the case, how would he resolve the mark Grand Elder Huang Quan had left on his soul?

At this moment, the Tower Spirit’s voice chimed in, “I told you—this isn’t as simple as you thought.”

Lu Chuan inwardly asked, “Did you know Qingci came that night?

Why didn’t you tell me!”

The Tower Spirit said, “You didn’t ask me.”

Lu Chuan was speechless and chose to ignore the Tower Spirit.

He looked at Han Qingci and said, “Qingci, you’ve just woken up, don’t get too agitated.

Since you’re unwilling to help me, let’s forget it.

Calm down, I won’t make you angry anymore.”

Han Qingci snorted and, to get back at Lu Chuan, said petulantly, “I need to pee.”

At her words, Lu Chuan quickly said, “I’ll call Mingzhu over right away.”

Han Qingci said, “Don’t call her, you help me.

Otherwise, I won’t be able to do it.”

Lu Chuan saw that this girl was trying to trouble him and had no choice but to say resignedly, “Alright then, I’ve seen everything there was to see while treating you anyway, so there’s nothing to be shy about.”

Han Qingci immediately blushed and called out, “Pervert!”

Meanwhile.

Zhou Yun arrived at the Martial Arts Association.

She summoned Zou Baicheng and stated her intention, “Your President Lu Chuan is very good at alchemy, right?”

Zou Baicheng nodded and said, “Indeed, President Lu’s medical skills are unmatched in this world.

Among the people I know, none can compare to him.”

Zhou Yun nodded and said, “Then help me ask him to concoct a sort of aphrodisiac.

One that will result in death if not sated after consumption—I want it to be highly effective.”

Zou Baicheng’s eyes widened and he quickly asked, “What do you want this for?”

Zhou Yun said, “It’s none of your business what for, just tell him to make it for me.”

Zou Baicheng thought for a moment and said, “I can’t help you if you don’t tell me what it’s for.”

Zhou Yun glared at him and said, “If you don’t help me, I’ll tell your wife and kids about the crush you had on me back in the day.

Weigh your options.”

Zou Baicheng’s expression changed and he hurriedly said, “What are you talking about?

All you need is for President Lu to prepare some playful potion, of course, I’ll help you with that little favor.”

Zhou Yun snorted and said, “When you speak to him, don’t say I need this.

Just tell him you want it for yourself, you got that?”

Zou Baicheng sighed and said, “Understood.”
