Xing Chen broke out in a cold sweat when he saw Lin Yanâs expression. Big Sister, please donât!
âMiss Lin, please donât be angry. Hereâs what happened...â Xing Chen hastily explained.
âAngry?â Lin Yan glanced at Xing Chen. âWho said that I was angry? How could you tell that I was angry?â
Xing Chen: â...â
The words âIâm very unhappyâ were written on her forehead.
âLetâs go and meet the guests,â Pei Yucheng said gently.
Lin Yan shook her head. âIâm not going. I donât want to disturb your conversation and ruin your mood.â
âMiss Lin, you have misunderstood. Although Miss Rong likes Brother Yu, she...â
Before Xing Chen could finish his sentence, Pei Yucheng glared at him coldly.
Lin Yanâs face fell when she heard Xing Chen.
âOh, how would you quantify that liking?â Lin Yan grinned.
Xing Chen: â...â
He was there to deliver the news, not to enter the execution grounds. If it really didnât work out, he felt that it would be better to suffer a quick death.
âYou havenât told me how you would quantify that liking.â Lin Yan pressed on when Xing Chen remained silent.
Xing Chen looked awkward as he glanced at Pei Yucheng.
âMiss Lin is asking you a question. Why are you looking at me?â Pei Yucheng asked softly.
âWhat should I say?â Xing Chen turned to Pei Yucheng cautiously.
âTell the truth,â replied Pei Yucheng.
Xing Chen: â...â
If he had known that this would happen, he would have asked Qin Huan to report this. Why did he have to report this?
Since Pei Yucheng wanted him to tell the truth, Xing Chen had no choice but to say helplessly, âMiss Rong is rather infatuated with Brother Yu.â
Lin Yan grinned at Pei Yucheng as a thought struck her.
Was she infatuated with Pei Yucheng?
Could that âpervertâ be Miss Rong?
âLetâs have dinner together. Letâs see how infatuated that lady is with me.â Pei Yucheng grinned as he held Lin Yanâs hand.
Lin Yan was speechless... She tried to leave before he had even finished his sentence. He wanted to bring her to see how infatuated Miss Rong was with him? How shameless!
âIf you find her an eyesore, tell her to leave,â Pei Yucheng instructed Xing Chen.
âHuh? Brother Yu, she is the eldest daughter of the Tang Family...â Xing Chen was startled.
Was he going to kick Tang Rong out just like that?
Upon seeing that Pei Yucheng wasnât joking, Xing Chen could only nod and follow his instructions.
âWait.â
Suddenly, Lin Yan said, âSince sheâs a guest, you should show some respect. It wouldnât be nice to kick her out. I was just joking. You can go and eat dinner.â
âIf this is your decision, sure,â replied Pei Yucheng. âHowever, you have to treat the guests with respect too.â
âWhy?â Lin Yan was puzzled.
âBecause you are the mistress of this house.â Pei Yucheng grinned at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan was speechless...
She deliberated for a moment before she raised her head. âI can come, but I will not be doing it out of respect. I wonât come to watch you, but because Iâm hungry.â
âThe mistress is hungry,â replied Pei Yucheng.
Xing Chen stared at Pei Yucheng in astonishment. Was this the Brother Yu he knew?
As expected, a good night was always too short, and good times between couples didnât last. He had finally experienced it.
Lin Yan whispered to Pei Yucheng, âGo ahead. I have something to ask Xing Chen. Iâll be there soon.â
