Chapter 55 – Love at First Sight

The most crucial thing was that this beauty not only looked good, but her appearance, figure—everything seemed to align with his aesthetic preferences.

At this moment, Xu Xiangdong felt as if the surrounding sounds had disappeared. The silence was so profound that he could distinctly hear the accelerating beats of his own heart, thumping loudly, one after another, resonating.

Each thump was on the verge of bursting out of his throat.

In this moment, Xu Xiangdong understood what it meant to fall in love at first sight.

In fact, considering what was mentioned earlier, he could say that he had experienced love at first sight with Educated Youth Sun before.

However, as Xu Xiangdong recalled now, he couldn’t remember how he could have fallen in love at first sight with Educated Youth Sun.

It was as if it wasn’t his own love at first sight, as if someone forcibly implanted it into his mind. Because now, as he thought about it, Educated Youth Sun did indeed look good, but her appearance wasn’t something he would typically be drawn to.

So, how could he have fallen in love at first sight with Educated Youth Sun?

It seemed like what he was experiencing now was genuine love at first sight.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Xu Xiangdong felt the blood in his body boiling.

Wen Yulan naturally noticed that Xu Xiangdong had been staring at her continuously, and she even met his gaze.

This was within her expectations; she knew her own face.

Moreover, although Xu Xiangdong was staring at her, his gaze didn’t make her uncomfortable. Xu Xiangdong’s eyes clearly conveyed admiration and joy, unlike some men whose gazes were lasciv*ous and made others uneasy.

Besides, revealing her true appearance was precisely Wen Yulan’s intention, hoping to make Xu Xiangdong fall for her.

So…

Was Xu Xiangdong satisfied with her face?

Wen Yulan felt both happy and a bit embarrassed.

Meanwhile, Aunt Sun on the side was the first to react.

She even double-checked, confirming whether this was Wen Yulan’s home, fearing she might have made a mistake.

After confirming that this was Wen Yulan’s home, Aunt Sun asked, “Excuse me, is Wen Yulan here?”

Aunt Sun silently complained in her heart, thinking that this Yulan girl was quite something. Knowing that Xu Xiangdong was coming to visit today, why leave such a beautiful girl at home, especially when they happened to run into each other?

Looking at Xu Xiangdong’s appearance, it seemed like this young man had probably taken a liking to this girl.

Well, who wouldn’t with such looks?

But what about Xu Xiangdong’s visit to see Wen Yulan?

Could it be that he wouldn’t meet Wen Yulan but instead end up meeting this girl?

No, that couldn’t be.

However, the girl’s answer in the next second left Aunt Sun completely stunned.

“Aunt Sun, I am Wen Yulan.”

“What? You’re Yulan girl? This, this can’t be.”

The beautiful girl in front of her was Wen Yulan. Then, who was the person she saw yesterday?

“Aunt Sun, yesterday you told me to clean up well and dress up nicely today,” Wen Yulan said with a hint of embarrassment.

Indeed, Aunt Sun had said something like that to Wen Yulan yesterday.

Because the Wen Yulan she saw yesterday was really…

Her face was dark, and most of her features were hidden by the disheveled hair falling over her face. It was difficult to see her facial features clearly.

Aunt Sun, relying on the rumors from outside, had initially thought that Wen Yulan was covering half of her face because she was ugly.

But unexpectedly…

“Aunt Sun, I am an orphan. For an orphan, having an attractive appearance is not always a good thing,” Wen Yulan explained.

With this explanation, everyone present understood.

Aunt Sun also suddenly realized, it turns out… it turns out…

Originally, Wen Yulan had astonishing beauty, but she usually deliberately disguised herself as ugly. However, what she said made sense. With Yulan’s parents absent and no family to rely on, she was indeed an orphan.

An orphan, possessing such astonishing beauty at any time, especially catching the eyes of men, would undoubtedly attract attention and lead to trouble.

Yulan did the right thing; she was clever!

Zhang Ailian also felt the same way, and admiration was evident in her and Aunt Sun’s eyes.

As for Xu Xiangdong, thinking about Wen Yulan’s words, he couldn’t help but feel sorry for her situation.

He recalled the few times he had seen Wen Yulan before; her face was indeed dark and covered.

And now…

Wen Yulan’s situation was indeed difficult. A few years ago, when he encountered her in the small grove, she almost starved and froze to death.

In that situation, if her beauty had been discovered, her plight would have been even more challenging.

So, even if she deliberately made herself ugly, even if the outside world spoke of her appearance as hideous, she didn’t care.

Because for her, being alone, this was the only way to protect herself.

Xu Xiangdong truly felt sorry for her.

He thought that when Wen Yulan married him, she wouldn’t need to intentionally appear ugly anymore. Whether she wanted to wear beautiful clothes or apply fragrant snowflake cream, he would fulfill her wishes and protect her.

Yes, at this moment, Xu Xiangdong, upon learning that the girl in front of him was Wen Yulan, had long discarded that indifferent mentality of whether he would end up with Wen Yulan or not. It was no longer just a casual observation; he was genuinely interested in her.

Since he was interested, he wanted to take it seriously. It would be best to settle things today, become a couple, get engaged, and ideally get married, completing everything this year.

[She is Wen Yulan, she is truly beautiful.]

[Her fate is truly tragic, Big Brother. If you don’t marry Wen Yulan, her time is likely running out soon.]

Xu Xiangdong, upon hearing his younger sister’s thoughts, instantly became alert.

His younger sister had previously mentioned that Wen Yulan’s life was in danger, and that was the initial reason why Xu Xiangdong wanted to form a connection with Wen Yulan, hoping to help her avoid a tragic fate.

Now that Xu Xiangdong had developed feelings for Wen Yulan, it became even more crucial for him to protect her from any impending danger.

[Her second uncle, second aunt, and that Wen Huihui are really ruthless. They plan to marry Wen Yulan off to a family surnamed Cui in the mountains, making her a sh*red wife among the three Cui brothers!]

As these thoughts spilled out from Xu Jinning’s heart, not only did Xu Xiangdong hear them, but Wen Yulan did too.

Wen Yulan hadn’t yet grasped why the young girl in front of her wasn’t speaking, but she reacted with shock upon hearing her words. She heard about her second uncle’s plan to marry her off as a sh*red wife to the Cui family in the mountains.

While Xu Jinning continued sharing her thoughts:

[They’ll dr*g Sister Yulan, send her to the Cui family, and the Cui family won’t care whether Sister Yulan consents or not; as long as she’s a woman, it’s acceptable.]

[By the time Sister Yulan wakes up, everything will be irreversible.]

[Especially when the Cui brothers see Sister Yulan’s beauty, they will be even less willing to let her go.]

[Even when Sister Yulan wants to escape, they will beat her and lock her up.]

[Finally, unable to endure the humiliation, Sister Yulan will jump off a cliff.]

[As for her Second Uncle Wen’s family, with the 300 yuan dowry, they’ll secure a job as a sanitation worker for their son in the county.]

[Their son may have climbed up the social ladder, but it’s at the cost of Sister Yulan’s life.]
