Chapter 443 A Story Between Two People
As for who Zhong Ning is playing, Ran Ran has no idea yet. Perhaps his presence is too weak and he has not caught Ran Ran's attention no matter what Zhong Ning's identity is, it does not prevent Ranran from pointing the finger at Leonor.
She didn't know her true identity, but she was already sure that Leonor was from the opposing team.
Unfortunately, Armand seemed to have misunderstood what she meant.
"After such a big change, it's normal for temperament to change."
"In short, a rift was created between Leonor and me. She hated me more than anyone else."
"Hate you?" Ran Ran didn't quite understand. "Does she hate your identity as her fiancé?"
Armand shook his head. "She hated me for knowing everything and choosing to do nothing."
Ran Ran was completely confused. "But Miss Leonor doesn't seem to have any right to ask you to help her, right?"
She carefully chose her words, trying to make them sound caring. "She fell in love with someone else, which is equivalent to betraying your marriage with her. How can a betrayer use this to kidnap the innocent party?"
Armand looked at Ran Ran seriously, "Do you really think so, Elizabeth?"
Ranran was stunned for a moment. Armand's eyes gave her an illusion that the person he was asking at the moment was not Elizabeth, but the real her.
She didn't understand why she suddenly had such a feeling. Was it the fragility hidden in Armand's eyes?
The water flow under the ice was so fragile that it seemed that if she nodded and said yes, he would be shattered.
Ran Ran sighed in her heart and said honestly: “No, I don’t think so.”
Armand immediately became visibly happy. "I know you are afraid, Elizabeth, but as I said before..."
"Just say whatever comes to your mind. I will forgive you no matter what you say. I want to hear your true thoughts."
Even so, Ranran's vigilance did not subside.
In her silence, she was thinking about what Armand's attitude was and why he had such an attitude.
From his narration, he didn't seem to be angry at all about what Leonor did. Even when he was narrating from a bystander's perspective, Ranran could hear the sigh in his words.
As he himself said, he envied Leonor for meeting that girl.
Even when Leonor hated him later, he was not angry. He probably felt that she deserved it.
As for why all this happened... Armand also wanted to be like Lenoir? !
Ran Ran pondered over it, with this conclusion the only one in his mind.
Because of yearning, we are tolerant; because of envy, we sigh.
But now she has seen how Armand and Leonor get along, and it is clear that they are disgusted with each other.
There is a player in Leonor's body, so Ranran cannot judge whether her current enthusiasm for this arranged marriage is due to the mission or whether the real Leonor is like this.
But no matter which one it is, she needs to rethink how she should treat Miss Leonor.
Ran Ran said sincerely: "Actually, I can understand Miss Leonor. She may regard you as a life-saving straw."
"After all, the relationship between her and her lover is not accepted by the public. You are at least an insider."
Armand gave a half-smile, as if mocking himself, "I am more than an insider."
"I know Leonor. We have been taught all kinds of details about each other since we were young. At the same time, I know that girl."
"Elisabeth..." Armand sighed and lifted Ranran's hair, "In their relationship, I played more than just a bystander."
"Leonor has no one to share her joy in love with, and the only person she can confide in is me."
Ran Ran suddenly opened her eyes wide.
Armand was amused by her cute appearance and chuckled for a long time before continuing, "At that time, at every banquet, the family would deliberately leave time for us to be alone together."
"Why?" Ranran was puzzled. Armand's smile grew even brighter. He covered Ranran's ears and spoke a few words before letting go.
Ran Ran was stunned, "I didn't hear it."
"Of course I know you didn't hear it." Armand said gently, "Because this is something that children shouldn't listen to."
"I'll tell you when you grow up."
Ranran sighed in her heart, it seemed that she would never know.
"In short, at this time, Leonor and I had nothing to say and nothing to do at first."
"We would each pick up a book and start reading, and we would not be relieved until the servant knocked on the door and asked, 'Is it over?'"
"What's the end?" Ran Ran was confused. "The reading is over?"
The smile in Armand's cold gray eyes almost overflowed, "You can think so."
"That started to change after Leonor met that girl."
"If I write a book about what happened between me and Leonor, the story would definitely start on that sunny afternoon."
"Before this, the connection between her and me was like a puppet in the palm of the family's hand, two similar and parallel lines."
"I didn't know the real her at that time, so everything that happened between her and me couldn't be counted as a story until that moment..."
"Warm light shone into the room, and Leonor was smiling happily while holding a book. I have never seen her smile so happily."
"I reached out from the shadows at the other end of the table and knocked on it, signaling her to be quiet."
“She glared at me in disapproval.”
Armand laughed when he recalled this and said, "She didn't know how shocked I was because her behavior at that time was completely different from the one I knew before."
"Now that I think about it, it was that girl who made the real her gradually emerge."
"Have you ever heard of this Elizabeth? True love makes you a better person."
Ran Ran shook her head. She didn’t know if Elizabeth had heard it before, but she really hadn’t heard it before.
She hasn't even learned to love herself.
"Okay." Armand's face showed a little regret. "Back to Leonor, she stopped smiling when I reminded her, but she laughed again not long after. When it happened for the third time, I pretended to be unbearable and asked her what she was laughing at."
Ran Ran was surprised. "You pretended to be unbearable? What did you really feel at that time?"
Armand did not hesitate to reveal his true young self.
"curious."
"I was very curious about what made her burst into laughter, and I was curious about what made a lady completely abandon etiquette and decency."
Ran Ran was a little surprised. It turned out that Armand's cold personality when he was young was just an act... I just don't know if it's still the same now...
"Of course Leonor didn't want to tell me, but she couldn't stand my continued questioning."
"Finally she lost her patience and told me in a fierce voice that she had made a new friend."
Armand's tone was full of admiration, "She had no idea how obvious the joy and delight in her eyes were when she mentioned that new friend."
"I frowned and asked her who this new friend was. She pretended to be calm and said that he was a scholar with profound knowledge and sharp opinions."
"She worships her, appreciates her, and wants to treat her as a confidant."
Armand laughed softly, "And I just stared at her slightly red face and ears without saying anything."
