BXBX NOVEL Chapter 48 - A Good News And A Bad News
"Let\'s ask them about their opinions first", Zhan Chen replied. Shen Ruyan nodded her head.
"Su\'er, Ling\'er, come here", Shen Ruyan shouted. Su\'er and Ling\'er entered immediately after hearing the voice of Shen Ruyan. Both of them threw a glance at Zhan Chen and then their gaze landed on Shen Ruyan.
"Young miss", both of them called out and remained silent after entering.
"Come here", Shen Ruyan spoke. Su\'er and Ling\'er understood something and their little hearts started to drum loudly. They felt extremely anxious. Despite their feelings of insecurity, both of them went forward and stood nearby Shen Ruyan.
"Young miss, do you need something?", Su\'er was the most outspoken girl among them. So, she decided to probe and asked nervously.
"You still have to gut to ask me. Don\'t you know what you have done?", Shen Ruyan asked in a cold voice. A shiver ran down in the spine of Su\'er and Ling\'er. They felt so nervous that sweat started to appear on their pretty faces. With nervousness, they were also feeling guilty. Su\'er took a look at Zhan Chen but Zhan Chen didn\'t say anything. He only calmly looked at her eyes. Her heart shattered at this moment. She started to ridicule her choice. Both of them trusted Zhan Chen and gave him their bodies but here Zhan Chen was not saying anything at their most desperate moments.
Tear drops started to come out from the pretty eyes of Ling\'er. Su\'er clenched her teeth and tried to suppress the emotion coming from her heart.
"Young miss, we are guilty. Punish us however you like", Su\'er spoke. She was extremely clever. So, she had already guessed the relationship between Shen Ruyan and Zhan Chen. Despite this, she surrendered her body to Zhan Chen because she was attracted to him. Moreover, that was the moment her mind was clouded with lust.
She knelt down after finishing her words but didn\'t shed tear. Ling\'er also knelt down as her pretty face was already covered with tear.
"Ruyan, enough, how long you think you can play around?", Zhan Chen felt angry for a moment.
"He..he..", Shen Ruyan smiled as she saw the angry look if Zhan Chen. Thus was the second time she saw the young man losing her cool. The first time was when he heard the Zhan family was attacked.
Ling\'er and Su\'er\'s eyes widened as they saw Zhan Chen yelling at their young miss.
"What is going on?", Su\'er felt confused and looked at both Shen Ruyan and Zhan Chen. Ling\'er also stopped crying and looked at Zhan Chen and Shen Ruyan.
"You girls, how much longer are you going to kneel down? If you do not stand up immediately, then I will never talk to you girls in future", Shen Ruyan threw an angry glare at Su\'er and Ling\'er.
Su\'er and Ling\'er became dumbfounded after hearing the words of Shen Ruyan. The sudden changes caught them off-guard. "Hurry up", Shen Ruyan commanded.
"Young miss, you are not angry with us", Ling\'er asked.
Shen Ruyan shook her head and rolled her eyes at Zhan Chen. "It is all his fault. Why should I blame you little girls for this?", Shen Ruyan said with an accusing tone. But her accusing manner looked very charming in Zhan Chen\'s eyes.
Zhan Chen stood up and pulled two chairs to his side. "Sit down here", he looked at Ling\'er and Su\'er.
"Don\'t blame her. She is just playing around", Zhan Chen spoke softly.
"We will never blame young miss", Su\'er spoke in a serious tone.
"Ok, sit down now", Zhan Chen spoke. Su\'er looked at Shen Ruyan and after seeing her nodding her head, she breathed in relief. Both Su\'er and Ling\'er looked at each other and then stood up and sat nearby Zhan Chen.
"Now the main topic. Why I have called you is discuss a matter related to you. It is very important for you. So, carefully take your decision", Shen Ruyan spoke and looked at both Su\'er and Ling\'er.
Both of them nodded their heads and looked at Shen Ruyan to speak.
"Now that you girls have given yourself to Zhan Chen, noone can treat you like the maids of Firecloud treasure pavilion. Although I have never treated you little girls like maids from the beginning but your identity is still the same in others eyes.
So, what I want to ask is what do you like to do in future? If you want I can improve your position in Firecloud treasure pavilion or do you want Zhan Chen to take responsibility and take care of you in future", Shen Ruyan asked.
Zhan Chen looked at both of them as he waited for their answers calmly. No matter what both of the girls chose, he would do his best to fulfill their wish.
Su\'er and Ling\'er became absent for a moment. Their childhood was not pleasant as both of them struggled for food in the city. Since they could remember, they never had any parents. Then one day, a beautiful angel came to him when they were being chased by some evil men.
"You little girls, how many days has it been since since you have ate anything? Come with me. Atleast you don\'t have to worry about being hungry", the beautiful angel spoke.
A memory flashed in Su\'er\'s mind. She looked at Shen Ruyan who was looking at her. "Young miss, can we follow you from now on?", Su\'er asked. Ling\'er never had other opinion. So, she directly asked for both of them.
"You little girls!", Shen Ruyan didn\'t know what to say. As clever as she was how couldn\'t she understand their feelings. These few years when she couldn\'t return to this branch made both of the girls and insecure. Their insecurity was another reason why they weren\'t talking with her more frequently and lastly gave their bodies to Zhan Chen. Of course, Zhan Chen\'s charm was undeniable as it was also a major factor.
"Ok, you can follow me from now on. Now return to your room and take rest. I will come and talk with you later", Shen Ruyan spoke. Su\'er and Ling\'er nodded their heads and threw a glance at Zhan Chen before leaving.
"They were in a very bad condition when I found them. So, they have a strong attachment with me", Shen Ruyan spoke.
"I can understand that much. Take good care of them as they will follow you from now on", Zhan Chen spoke.
"Now the most important thing. Have you managed to find anything about the movement of Gu family and Ming family?", Zhan Chen asked.
"There is a good news and a bad news. Which of it you want to hear first?", Shen Ruyan asked.
"Let\'s hear the bad news first", Zhan Chen replied.
"There would be an attack on your Zhan family. Moreover, the numbers are going to be greater than yesterday", Shen Ruyan replied and looked at Zhan Chen.
Zhan Chen\'s facial expression didn\'t change. "And the good news is?", Zhan Chen asked.
"There will be no Core Condensation realm experts from either side. The fight will be monitored by the dragon guards of the imperial family", Shen Ruyan spoke. There was an odd expression on her face when she said the last line.
