Chapter 73: More Than Enough For Him
Lu Sheng’s face heated up at his compliments. She thought for a while and replied with a dry smile, “Young Master, you have a sweet mouth.”
“Come and sit here.”
Chu Sihan waved at her and shot a disdainful glance at Shi Yi. He said lightly, “Ignore him. He has epilepsy, which’ll happen once in a while.”
Lu Sheng knew that epilepsy was similar to the term ‘mental illness’ now.
She looked at Shi Yi sympathetically and sat beside Chu Sihan.
Shi Yi was speechless.
“Miss, don’t listen to Brother Chu’s nonsense. I’m fine.”
Were they friends? They were obviously bad friends.
His years of sincerity were in vain.
Shi Yi specially chose a chair opposite Lu Sheng and sat down. He smiled and said, “I’m Shi Yi. May I know your name?”
“Lu Sheng.”
Lu Sheng was about to speak when Chu Sihan interrupted her.
She looked at him in surprise, then smiled.
“I’m not asking you.”
Shi Yi snorted coldly.
“Yun Ting.”
Yun Ting looked at Lu Sheng and introduced himself faintly.
“Lu Sheng. The Lu’s spelled with a ear at the side. The Sheng’s spelled with the meaning of singing.”
She smiled faintly and introduced herself.
“Wait. Surnamed Lu?”
Shi Yi blinked. “So, you’re not Miss Shangguan?”
“Miss Shangguan?”
Lu Sheng glanced at him suspiciously first, then at Chu Sihan.
Chu Sihan explained in a low voice, “Don’t listen to his nonsense. She’s not an important person.”
“Oh.”
Lu Sheng softly replied.
“I heard from Young Master Fu that the State Minister wants you to marry a lady from Liu Yue Village. Could it be…”
As Yun Ting spoke, his gaze landed on Lu Sheng.
Chu Sihan did not speak. Lu Sheng pursed her lips and did not speak either.
“Could this Miss Lu really be Miss Lu?”
Shi Yi was also shocked.
If Yun Ting had not mentioned it, he would have forgotten about this matter.
Lu Sheng glanced at Chu Sihan’s well-defined profile and smiled awkwardly. “If there’s no mistake, it should be me.”
Shi Yi sucked in a cold breath and scanned the two of them in disbelief.
“Does that mean the marriage was a success?” Yun Ting asked with his eyebrow raised.
Lu Sheng did not look like a countryside girl who had not seen the world. Most ladies would cower in fear when they saw Chu Sihan. However, Lu Sheng was different. She seemed to be quite carefree in front of Chu Sihan.
Either she was braver than others or Chu Sihan allowed her to do so.
In his opinion, it should be the latter.
He had known Chu Sihan for almost ten years, and had never seen him treat a woman so nicely.
Lu Sheng was definitely the first.
“No!”
Lu Sheng shook her head. “Something happened at that time, so… it wasn’t a success.”
“I see!”
Yun Ting’s eyebrow raised and he glanced at Chu Sihan mockingly.
Shi Yi heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Thankfully, it didn’t work out. Otherwise, we would have died with regrets.”
“Why?” Lu Sheng did not understand.
Shi Yi explained, “We have known Brother Chu for almost ten years. How would we not regret it if we didn’t get to attend his wedding banquet?”
Lu Sheng nodded.
“What are you afraid of?” Chu Sihan glanced at him and said indifferently, “Even if it was successful, I’ll make it up to you again.”
How could his woman get married with just a sedan chair alone?
He could not bear to see her in such a pathetic state!
Her mother did that only because she felt that Lu Sheng was not good enough for him and she had no choice but to agree to this marriage in consideration of what the State Minister said.
Thankfully, they did not succeed in the end.
This girl was more than enough for him!
“That’s right!” Shi Yi smiled and said, “After all, you have promised that if you meet someone you like, you will make sure that it’s a lively affair. You won’t keep such a low profile.”
