  “First Young Lady Chu is indeed considerate and understanding.” The corners of the lips of Fifth Young Master Shen quivered. He was not convinced by Chu Ninger earlier but from the way that things were looking now……

  Fifth Young Master Shen experienced an excruciating neck pain as if someone was trying to cut it open.

  “Really?” It was out of her expectation that Fifth Young Master Shen tried to initiate a conversation with her. Chu Wuyou raised her eyebrows and shifted her attention to He Yufei. “Do you agree?” she questioned with a cynical smile.

  Considerate and understanding? She was flattered, but she wondered if He Yufei thought the same.

  Naturally, Chu Wuyou picked up the probing tone of Fifth Young Master Shen, and she knew that people were examining every interaction between He Yufei and herself. Despite that, she was glad that it prevented other people, who had the intention to strike up a conversation, from approaching her.

  “You bet,” He Yufei replied softly through gritted teeth.

  “Aw, thanks.” Unperturbed, Chu Wuyou accepted the compliment sincerely. Then, she retrieved a few more glasses of beer and placed them in front of He Yufei. “I should live up to the expectation.”


  “Third Elder Brother, aren’t you looking for Elder Chu? First Young Lady Chu, could you please show my Third Elder Brother the way?” Fifth Young Master Shen thought that the situation would only get worse if this continued.

  Therefore, he ought to create an opportunity for Third Elder Brother to spend time alone with Chu Wuyou in order for them to resolve their affairs face-to-face.

  “Sure.” Chu Wuyou tried to avoid engaging with Ye Lanchen because she learned the latter was a dangerous person, but she despised this sort of event even more. She did not want to linger around any longer since the person she hoped would surface proved to be a no-show.

  Chu Ninger was eager to take on the enviable task herself, but Third Young Master Ye had already got up from his seat to leave with Chu Wuyou.

  Everyone looked at the pair of receding figures and thought they were extraordinarily well-matched.

  Even Fifth Young Master Shen agreed, but it all depended on whether Chu Wuyou was indeed the woman that Third Elder Brother was looking for. Otherwise, he thought Third Elder Brother was definitely way out of her league.

  He Yufei looked glum as Chu Wuyou’s figure disappeared in the distance, and a complicated feeling materialized in his heart.

  “Why are you looking for my Grandpa, Third Young Master Ye?” Chu Wuyou was not normally an inquisitive person and she would not meddle into the affairs of an acquaintance. For reasons unknown to herself, however, she posed that question.

  By then, they were approaching Elder Chu’s room.

  “To propose a marriage,” the man replied gently. She threw a sideways glance swiftly and learned that his facial expression had not changed the slightest bit.

  “Propose? Marriage?” Chu Wuyou was utterly stunned. Although she managed to regain her composure, the great surprise had caused her to stutter.

  “To whom, if I may ask? Chu Ninger? That kind-hearted girl is intelligent and beautiful, a great candidate without a doubt.” Chu Wuyou wondered if he had his eyes on Chu Ninger.

  The corners of his lips curled into a puzzling arc. “Weren’t you the one that was supposed to meet a prospective partner during today’s banquet?”


  That one phrase was enough to explain everything.

  “.……”


  Chu Wuyou was at a loss for words as if the cat got her tongue. She gazed at him intently through the thick lenses of her glasses to find out if he was telling the truth.

  However, nothing on his face indicated that he was cracking a joke. One could also deduce that his blank expression did not show any emotions.

  “I suddenly remember that Grandpa might have left.” Chu Wuyou had mastered the art of lying bluntly without blushing.

  “Alright, we should leave then.” Ye Lanchen returned her gaze but the curious smile on his face lingered for a second too long.

  Thinking that he had given up and decided to leave, she silently released a breath she did not realize she had been holding.

  The truth was, Chu Wuyou was not familiar with Third Young Master Ye’s personality. Just when she was thanking her lucky stars, he uttered a few words out of the blue and he managed to frighten Chu Wuyou out of her wits.
