Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 329 Stubborn Su Ran

Su Ran seemed to be driven by a stubborn force, with an unquestionable determination in his eyes. No matter how Shen Li tried to persuade him with reason and emotion, he seemed to be nailed to the spot and refused to move even a step. He was so stubborn that it seemed that as long as Shen Li did not nod in agreement, he would follow her closely like a shadow and pester her endlessly.

Shen Li looked at Su Ran, who looked as if he was facing a great enemy and was so nervous that he almost lost his composure. She felt helpless about his stubbornness, but also touched by his concern for her.

She knew Su Ran was genuinely worried about what might happen to her on her trip to the Xiqi Palace. After weighing the pros and cons and struggling for a long time, she finally sighed helplessly and said softly to Su Ran, "Forget it, forget it. I can't persuade you. Then come with me tomorrow."

When Su Ran heard the long-awaited answer, his expression, which had been as tense as a drawn bowstring, instantly relaxed, as if the heavy burden that had been pressing on him for a long time and making it almost impossible for him to breathe was suddenly removed. He let out a long sigh of relief and relaxed completely.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that his hands were still tightly holding Shen Li's wrist like a pair of pliers, and he quickly let go of his hands as if he had been electrocuted.

Shen Li's wrist, which was originally as white as mutton-fat jade, was now covered with a conspicuous red mark from his grip.

Su Ran looked at Shen Li's slightly red wrist, a trace of guilt flashed quickly in his eyes, and his lips moved, as if he had a thousand words to say and wanted to explain something, but his throat seemed to be blocked, and he didn't know where to start.

In the end, he just said softly: "Then... Lier, you should rest early, I'll go back to my room first." After that, he turned around hurriedly and walked towards his room in a hurry. His back showed a bit of embarrassment and panic.

Shen Li stood there quietly, slowly lowering her head, her gaze falling on her wrist, which had been gripped red. A wave of emotion surged in her heart, and she pondered to herself, "For so many years, I have been trapped in the chaos of coma, and the Shen family has experienced countless ups and downs, but Su Ran and his 'Cang Yue Pavilion' have always been the ones who silently protect everything of the Shen family. Could it be that he still feels guilty about what happened? That's why he is so dedicated and tirelessly protecting me and the Shen family."

Shen Li stood there, her thoughts still churning, and she thought secretly: "The assassination of me that year was an unforeseen accident. How can I blame him? That kind of chaotic and critical situation was not something he could have anticipated in advance." She shook her head gently, trying to drive out those tangled thoughts from her mind.

However, she had no idea that behind the seemingly unexpected and sudden assassination, there were actually many intricate and shocking calculations and plans.

At that time, Bai Yu had ulterior motives and wanted to "save the beauty" in order to win Shen Li's favor, so he deliberately ordered "Cangyue Pavilion" to set up such a dangerous situation.

As for Su Ran, as the leader of "Cangyue Pavilion", he took advantage of Bai Yu's plan and cunningly played along, thinking of using this rare opportunity to gain the great favor of saving Shen Li, so as to use this as an opportunity to narrow the distance between himself and Shen Li.

But who could have imagined that things are unpredictable and plans can never keep up with changes. In the chaotic assassination process, an accident still happened.

At the critical moment, in order to save Su Ran, Shen Li did not hesitate to deflect the fatal arrow for him. However, another arrow shot straight into Shen Li's heart like lightning. In an instant, the situation became extremely critical.

It was because of this fatal arrow that Shen Li fell into a long and deep coma, and this sleep lasted for more than four years.

However, Shen Li is still kept in the dark about the twists and turns hidden behind this, and knows nothing about the complex entanglements. It is as if she is in a fog and cannot see the truth clearly.
