Chapter 444 She sleeps with the corrupt systemRan Ran was a little surprised. "So you knew at that time that Miss Leonor had someone she liked?" Armand nodded. "Although I have never loved someone as passionately as she has, I know what it means to love someone." The more Ran Ran listened, the more curious she became. "What happened next?" "Later, thanks to that [knowledgeable and sharp scholar], the relationship between Leonor and I actually got better day by day." "As soon as we started to be alone, she would share details about the time that the two of them had together." Ran Ran looked at Armand in shock, "You actually like listening to it too?" "Of course, I'm really curious." Armand analyzed rationally: "Leonor probably didn't feel rejected by me, so she was willing to share with me all the time." "There were even several times when she said things that clearly exceeded the limits of an admirer or a confidant, but she was just slightly stunned, observing my reaction, and then continued talking to me." Ran Ran became curious, "What is your attitude?"
Armand raised an eyebrow, "Just like you, with your curious attitude." Ran Ran wrinkled her nose, "It's definitely not that simple. At least it's a curious but rational attitude." "Curiosity makes Miss Leonor want to share, and rationality makes Miss Leonor trust you. She knows you won't leak it." Armand smiled and nodded, "Elisabeth is a smart child." "Then my relationship with Leonor developed further and she even took me to meet the girl." Ran Ran opened her eyes wide, "So Miss Leonor took the initiative to tell you the identity of her lover?" "Yes, there is no scholar with profound knowledge and sharp opinions, only a small town girl who loves reading newspapers and has lofty ideals." Ranran seemed to be able to see the lively tabloid girl in Armand's eyes as he said this. "Is this what you mean by your acquaintance with that girl?" "Yes." Armand looked at Ranran with a smile, "Elisabeth, you seem surprised by this." Ran Ran said directly: "I am surprised that Miss Leonor took you directly to see the tabloid girl." "I think this is a pretty risky thing to do no matter how much she trusts your character." Armand seemed to have a gratified tone that made Ran Ran puzzled, "Elisabeth is a vigilant child, which is good." "Because Leonor can present everything to me, my position in her heart must be higher than I thought." Ran Ran thought, "From what I heard, I think you are Miss Leonor's confidant, at least that's what I think." She repeated, "She considers you a confidant." "She and that tabloid girl can't be close friends. People can only empathize with each other if they are in the same situation. You and she have similar growth trajectories and share the same doubts." "The only difference is that she met that person and you didn't, otherwise..." "Maybe you will become the second Miss Leonor."
Ran Ran concluded, "You are her only confidant in this constrained and planned life." Armand's eyes were a little dazed when he heard this. "That's probably it." "So she was so disappointed when I stood aside and watched what happened between her and that girl..." "She placed her trust in the wrong person." "From the beginning I didn't approach her to become her confidant, I was just curious." "I was taught the meaning of couples and marriage since I was a child, but no one told me what love is and what love should be. I am very confused." "Leonor, who has changed so much, seems to be the only answer to this question." "I was just acting according to my own ideas and following my heart. In the end, it seemed like I did nothing wrong, but it also seemed like I made a big mistake." Armand said calmly: "I have accepted all of Leonor's trust, so I should also accept all of her hatred." Ran Ran was shocked. Armand mentioned the mistake. His actions certainly cannot be said to be wrong, and even if they are not blameless, there is no need for him to feel guilty about them. But his words still made Ran Ran feel too cold, just like what she would say... Ranran was surprised by her own thoughts. She pressed her chest in confusion. Was it because she had come into Elizabeth's body... that her emotions were far richer than her original self? She could actually sense that Armand's words were cold and indifferent. In the past, she would have only agreed with Armand's words. In the end, Ranran just sighed, as if to put an end to the story between Leonor and the girl. "I understand why Miss Leonor treated you like this, but what about you, Count?" According to Armand, if he wanted to accept all of Leonor's hatred, he shouldn't have treated her like this. "Elizabeth, try to guess it." Armand said sincerely, "You can regard this as a question I give you." "I hope you get it right." Ran Ran didn't spend too much time and said directly: "I am angry at their lack of resistance and I feel sorry for their misfortune." These eight short words made Armand smile with satisfaction. He looked at Ranran as if he was looking at the most precious gem in the world. This was a completely Chinese way of expressing himself, but Armand understood its meaning accurately, otherwise he would not have shown such a surprised expression. Like music, language can sometimes be a magical thing. But Ran Ran still explained: "No matter what, Miss Leonor has disappointed you." "Just like she considers you as a confidant, this is a very private feeling. I don't know if I understand it correctly." Armand looked at Ranran deeply, as if he wanted to see her into his heart, "You can completely understand this, my Elizabeth." Even though she knew that the current situation was what she needed, Ran Ran couldn't help but get goose bumps because of this title. Chinese expressions have always been implicit. In the past, Ran Ran would even feel embarrassed by a few words of compliment, let alone such a straightforward gesture of goodwill. Even if she is really not a human, she is indeed a thorough Chinese.
Ran Ran gritted her teeth and continued to collect Armand's favor, "Can I understand Miss Leonor as your ideal self?" "At least until that gloomy, drizzling day, because that's when your disappointment with Miss Leonor began." Surprise flashed in Armand's cold grey eyes, "Have you guessed what happened next?" Ran Ran lowered her eyes, "The result is obvious." "Even if my eyes have only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg, the fact that Miss Leonor is here at the castle right now is proof of that." "She did not change according to her lover's words. She turned back into a lady and followed her family's arrangement to be close to you." “She sleeps with the rotten system.” Ran Ran finished speaking, and the broadcasting voice sounded in his mind.
