"Wen Xuan, there's something, I think it's time for you to know. In addition, since this matter is destined to be made public, I hope that you will convey it to your mother and my mother on your behalf, and through them may make it known to all who should know about it as soon as possible......"

"What's the matter?" The next moment when he had just had time to think about asking such a rhetorical question, Fu Wenxuan thought of a possibility, so he asked noncommittally and with a little hesitation: "Could it be ......?"

"Hmm. That's what you're guessing right now. That's right, the reason why I hope that you can convey my true words to the heads of the Gao and Fu families without misunderstanding is that through them, all the people in the Gao and Fu families who have real power or influence on a par with them can know about it! And I must let them know as soon as possible!

"And only then do you have to take me back. And I can be left aside by them for the time being......

"Wen Xuan, we Mingren don't say secret words, do you think I wouldn't have thought that since you can come here to find me alone, then in addition to your understanding of me, what helped you come is not the information that the Gao and Fu families can provide you, but the information that Gao Liwen gave you! The Gao and Fu families can't find his whereabouts, but you know! Otherwise, you wouldn't and wouldn't have been able to find me so quickly, and you would not have appeared so inopportunely with the intention of taking me away.

"Do you think I can't imagine who would be in the best interest if you let me take me? But don't forget, since your ultimate goal is to protect both the Fu family and your father, then you can't blindly follow your father's arrangement without any consideration!

"And the reason why I'm willing to tell you that secret that even your father can't find out, and willing to help you come up with a compromise, is because I still believe that you still want to stick to the agreement we made at the beginning. - Me too.

"So as a friend, I would like to remind you again: don't forget what you really want, and don't forget what I will never compromise?—— so that we will not end up losing respect for each other even if we are enemies in the future. I don't think our friendship will be so cheap, right?"

Listening to Gao Ran's foreshadowing of all the words on this, Fu Wenxuan also had a premonition that the secret she was going to tell him would definitely make the Gao and Fu families taboo her, otherwise how could they easily "let go" of her as she wished? But would they really let her go?

"Xiao Ran, could it be that what you want to say will make you an outcast?" - in addition, Fu Wenxuan couldn't think of any other reason that could make the two families give up Gao Ran.

"Hmm...... It's hard to say whether he will become an outcast...... After all, I still have the blood of the Gao family in my veins...... But it should make the two families have to choose another person to renew my engagement with you because of the facts I have said......"

"What? Renew the marriage contract to replace you? Xiao Ran, what do you mean by this?"

"Wen Xuan, you just need to tell the two families in person when you go back, although my congenital deficiency has been carefully treated by my master and junior uncle, and now my body has basically recovered, but I have completely lost the ability to have children because of this. In other words, when I become an adult, I can't have offspring like a normal woman, I can't have children.

"Therefore, if you marry me, then the continuation of your Fu family's bloodline will only be your eldest brother and my eldest sister. But presumably your mother should not be able to reassure my eldest sister. Not to mention that I would be willing to let you two brothers marry together.

"Besides, not to mention that my mother has always been very partial to my eldest sister...... If I let her know that I have no ability to have children, then I will definitely lose my qualification to compete with my eldest sister for the next head of the family. At that time, not only will my mother give up on me completely, but even the Gao family will not agree to let a woman like me inherit the position of head of the family who cannot continue the bloodline for the Gao family.

"And in this way, compared to the previous strategy of always swaying between the Gao and Fu families in order to seek more benefits for herself, when she is convinced that she has no more legitimate competitors to threaten her, wouldn't it be more in the interests of my eldest sister to simply favor the Gao family, which will sooner or later be controlled by her?

"And in that case, a person like me, who only has the last bit of value of the lineage blood to the Gao family, sends me to your Fu family as a hostage—is this more beneficial to the Gao family? Or is it more beneficial to your Fu family? This should not be difficult to judge, right? What do you think your mother will think when she arrives? What will your Fu family think?"

"Xiao Ran, you...... Is the kind of 'freedom' you have depicted really worth it, and you would ruin yourself in order to get it?!"

"Destroy myself, Heh, Wen Xuan, I can understand your idea that people must have an aftermath in life, but understanding is understanding, which is not the same thing as me insisting on my own ideas.

"Maybe in your opinion, I am ruining my own life, destroying the value and meaning of my life, but in my opinion, in terms of the situation that I was born to choose, I am truly responsible for my own life by doing this!

"But no matter how much you say, you won't understand. In short, it seems to me that we just have different ways of living, and therefore we all have to pay different prices for the path we have chosen. But in reality, 'getting' and 'giving' will always be the same - whether you admit it or not, whether you can see it or not, it's all there, nothing increases......

"So, it's not as serious as you think. Trust me, I know what I'm doing and what I'm paying for. I don't regret it. So, you don't have to worry about me.

"And what you really need to do now is to see me as a person you don't care about, and then think calmly: Since your 'fiancée' can't have children, how should you, as yourself, as the Fu family, as Gao Liwen's son, for yourself, for your Fu family, and for Gao Liwen, how should you deal with this matter?

Listening to Gao Ran's completely casual words to him, which were enough to shock and surprise him, even if Fu Wenxuan still couldn't understand why she could so comfortably believe that her choice was not wrong?—— even if her choice was placed in this world—except for the "other world" where people in the world of Medicine Valley still couldn't understand her true appearance, all other places would be intolerable to ethics!

But even though it was so intolerable to secular ethics, Fu Wenxuan finally decided to respect her choice. - Who made them friends?

But even so, when Fu Wenxuan decided to follow Gao Ran's suggestion and try to consider her proposal calmly, the thing she had just said reminded him to consider it suddenly echoed in his ears like a late echo...... Then, he looked at Gao Ran's eyes and felt a little more vigilant.

And with such an obvious and undisguised vigilance, Gao Ran was naturally aware of it immediately. She deliberately joked to him, "What? Now you think I'm dangerous? You dare to come to me alone, I thought that if you didn't really believe me, then you were so bold that you had blinded your mind." Tsk, you say, what kind of fact should I believe? Or is it a combination ......of both? Are you just a little hindsightful until now? Could it be that your sanity is 'playful' and you don't know how to come back until now?

However, after being teased by Gao Ran, who seemed to be joking, but seemed to be reminded by hints, Fu Wenxuan's face suddenly became much paler. He suddenly realized that he had never seriously thought about what Gao Ran had just reminded him!

And Gao Ran, however, reached out and patted him on the shoulder at this time, which really startled him. He couldn't help but tremble a little, but then he restrained him in time.

But Gao Ran did not let go of the hand on his shoulder, but deliberately leaned into his ear and said to him in a low voice: "Don't worry, I know that you know me, so you won't be stupid enough to threaten me with someone I care about." I don't know about it, but you should be able to think that my temperament is obviously to prefer to pay tribute to the innocent souls of the dead directly to the other party rather than being threatened...... Anyway, people will die eventually......"

Fu Wenxuan's eyes widened unconsciously, and a little cold sweat couldn't help but break out on the corners of his forehead. Although before this, he did know that he could not use the usual means - trying to threaten Gao Ran with You Song and Qiao'er, who were still in Yunxiang, but he did not expect her coldness to be so cold - her "care" was at most: if something happened to them, then she would avenge them afterwards and double the "compensation" for their undead, but she would not compromise with the persecutors in order to save their lives.

With such a Gao Ran, no one can threaten her at all. - Although Fu Wenxuan knew about this as early as when he became a close friend with her, it was only now that he was convinced of his instincts!

Because of this, I never had the idea of using anyone to threaten Gao Ran's submission, and since then, I have not dared to have —— compared to being an enemy of such a Gao Ran, it is the best policy to be friends with her. - Just as her lethality is rarely resisted, if she can help, the help that can be obtained is definitely rare for anyone to get.

At the same time, Fu Wenxuan also knew very well in his heart that the reason why Gao Ran was able to threaten and warn him so comfortably was not only because she was indifferent by nature, but also because she was actually very aware of the strength of the power in her hands - it was precisely because of her accurate estimation of the strength gap between herself and her opponent that she dared to threaten the other party so confidently, so that the other party did not dare to attack the person she cared about easily-unless the other party had the consciousness of wanting to die with her.

But since he would think of threatening her in this way, it is impossible for him to really want to die with her, but he is no match for her in terms of strength...... Therefore, as long as she is resolute enough, most of the time she is the only one who threatens the other party, and the other party not only does not dare to easily hurt the people she cares about, but also carefully protects them for her. As long as the disparity in strength between the two sides does not change for a day, as long as Gao Ran is always in an absolute position that can easily crush the other party, the weak side will never want to have the capital and guts to threaten Gao Ran, otherwise, the consequences will only be twice as miserable.

"Don't worry, I will keep the agreement I made with you and Yu'er to the end. I know what you mean, it's not just for the sake of righteousness, but the only sure option that will allow us to minimize the damage we may suffer even if we have to turn against each other in the future. I understand.

"So, I'm not going to be your enemy easily. Even if I have to be your enemy, I will follow our original agreement: let you know first, and then each will do what he can......

"Besides, you can rest assured, as long as I am in one day, I will not let the Fu family and my father hurt your father and Qiao'er in the slightest. - I understand what you mean. Don't worry, you can trust me!"

"Hmm. Since you can understand what I mean so accurately, then I am naturally relieved that you will do things. Well, the Fu family and your father's side will be dealt with by you. I'm not embarrassed that you have to tell me the exact whereabouts of Gao Liwen.

"Don't worry, as long as he doesn't harm me, I won't harm him. You know, what I'm doing now, although it hinders your father's plans, doesn't really hurt him, I'm just trying to protect myself.

"Wenxuan, I am still willing to support your plan. - But what is the premise, you should know.

"And I know that, if given a choice, you would prefer to be a friend rather than an enemy, just like me—both emotionally and for practical reasons. Hopefully, our goodbye this time will give us all what we need. ”
