Chapter 305: Adulterer (5)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At the thought of what Shen Miao said just now that customers here were either rich or noble, Jing Chuchu suddenly had a thought.
The young man seemed to have noticed her and looked over. When he saw Jing Chuchu clearly, his eyes lit up.
Jing Chuchu was wearing a jade-like white dress. She had snow-white skin and a beautiful face. Most importantly, she had a gentle and timid expression. When she glanced at the young man, she quickly lowered her head in shock. Most of the women in the capital were straightforward and open, but such a delicate and timid girl from the south was extremely rare. The young manâs eyes were fixed on her, and the more fervent his gaze was, the deeper Jing Chuchu lowered her head.
Time passed slowly. The dishes were all served, but Shen Miao still did not appear. Jing Chuchu was the only one sitting at the table. She didnât want to eat alone, so she kept on sipping on the tea and looked at a loss.
Finally, the rich young man at the neighboring table couldnât resist it anymore. Under everyoneâs gazes, he walked up to Jing Chuchu and sat down. He asked softly, âMiss, are you waiting for someone?â
Jing Chuchu was shocked. She looked up and blushed when she saw him. She lowered her head and whispered, âI-Iâm waiting for my cousin.â
The young man asked with concern, âWhy is your cousin not showing up? How can she leave you alone here?â
Jing Chuchu blushed and shook her head, as if she wanted to say something but didnât dare to. In the eyes of others, she looked like she was being bullied. The young master made up his mind and said, âHow about this? Since I have nothing to do, why donât I wait here with you?â
âNo, no need to trouble yourself.â Jing Chuchu quickly said, âYoung Master, whyâ¦â
âItâs fine.â The man smiled and said, âIf anyone with ill intentions comes over while youâre sitting here alone, Iâm afraid it will be much more troublesome. Itâs better for me to stay here with you.â
His voice and the smile on his face were gentle, making him look quite approachable. Jing Chuchu lowered her head and said, âThank you then, Young Master.â
âMiss, you donât look like you are from here,â he said.
âI-Iâm from Suzhou,â Jing Chuchu said. The two of them chatted like that. The young man was very good at making conversations. With just a few words, he made Jing Chuchu smile. Although she still looked a little shy, her attitude towards that man gradually became less guarded. The young man told her some interesting stories. He seemed to have been to many places and was quite rich. As a result, Jing Chuchu smiled even more joyfully.
In another elegant private room in the Pleasant Restaurant, through the carved window, Jing Chuchuâs table could be seen clearly from afar. Bai Lu said, âIt seems like sheâs opening herself to someone she met for the first time.â Her words were filled with sarcasm.
âHeâs not an ordinary man,â Shen Miao said indifferently with her chin rested on her hand.
âMiss, do you know that young man?â Shuang Jiang asked curiously. The guards guarding the room were also a little surprised. Shen Miao left Jing Chuchu alone and went to another room, as if she deliberately wanted Jing Chuchu to talk to that man. From what Shen Miao said, she seemed to know that man.
Shen Miao smiled but did not say anything.
âI mean,â On the other side, in a room in the Pleasure Restaurant, Ji Yushuâs jaws were about to drop. âDonât tell me she knows Sun Cainan.â
âAlthough Sun Cainan is Sun Tianzhengâs only son, he doesnât enter officialdom. Other than squandering his fatherâs money, heâs just a wastrel who knows nothing. He doesnât even go to Guangwen Hall. How did Shen Miao know him?â Gao Yang glanced at him.
