When Lu Ran heard this, he agreed with Lu Sheng.
For someone like Madam Liu, death was too merciful.
Chu Sihan did not immediately react.
He stared at her face, which was full of anticipation, and said after a while, “I can promise you that. But, I have a condition.”
“A condition?” Lu Sheng nodded. “Sure. But I must be able to fulfill it.”
She could not fall into his trap.
“Don’t worry.” His thin lips curved into a smile. “You can definitely fulfill this condition.”
Although this little girl looks gullible, she’s smart.
Despite only interacting with her for barely half a day, Chu Sihan could understand how she was.
Every time he said something important, she could always evade the topic.
Chu Yun looked in amazement from the side.
Did I just see Lord smile?
Chu Yun had followed Chu Sihan for seven-eight years, and he had not witnessed him smile even once.
After becoming the magistrate, Chu Sihan had become even stricter.
The only times he occasionally smiled was when he was with Shi Yi and Yun Ting.
For Lord to smile at Lu Sheng, could it be that he has taken a liking to her?
Chu Yun frowned.
Although Lu Sheng is beautiful, are her talents and intellect on par with Lord’s?
What is the use of just being pretty without having anything substantial?
He knew his lord was not one of those vulgar people who would be tempted by lust!
“Deal!”
Lu Sheng raised her hand and high-fived Chu Sihan.
With a stunned look, Chu Sihan glanced at his palm, then back at the smiling girl. His cold eyes became thoughtful.
This was the first time in twenty years that he had touched a girl.
Although the back of her palm was white and tender, it had a lot of calluses.
“Are you hungry?” he asked.
Thinking that Chu Sihan was talking to him, Chu Yun quickly answered, “Lord, I’ve already eaten at a noodles restaurant—”
Chu Sihan interrupted him. “I’m not asking you.”
“Oh!” Chu Yun pouted.
He thought that his lord had been asking him.
“Are you asking me?” Lu Sheng’s eyes brightened. “I’m actually a bit hungry.”
She did not have a lot of coins left in her pocket. A free meal was always welcome.
“We’ve already eaten.”
Lu Ran warily looked at Chu Sihan.
He did not know who this man was and why he wanted to talk to Lu Sheng for no reason. Now, he even cared whether she was hungry or not.
“Brother, but I have not eaten!”
Lu Sheng secretly tugged Lu Ran’s sleeve.
A helpless expression appeared on Lu Ran’s face as he gloomily said, “But we’re not full yet.”
“Not full?” Chu Yun was shocked. “You ate two big bowls of noodles!”
Is his stomach made of metal?
Lu Sheng said with a smile, “Well... my brother has a huge appetite.”
Lu Ran thought, Can I even rebuke it?
Chu Sihan smirked. “Let’s go.”
They walked into a restaurant, asked for a room, and sat down.
Inside the restaurant, Lu Jiang and Lu Xin kept munching on the pastries, while Lu Ran remained silent.
Chu Yun had said that he was too full and had not followed them in.
“Are you from Huang Yang Town?” Lu Sheng asked.
“Yes,” Chu Sihan softly replied as he helped her place her chopsticks on her bowl.
“Your surname is also Chu?” Lu Ran looked at Chu Sihan in surprise. “Then what’s your relationship with Lord Chu?”
Due to Chu Sihan’s fame, Lu Ran had heard of him before. However, he had not seen him.
“Him?”
Chu Sihan’s hands paused. Looking at Lu Sheng with a half-smile, he said, “He’s my uncle.”
“Uncle?”
Lu Ran was shocked. “I didn’t expect that Lord Chu would have a nephew at such a young age!”
Young age?
Lu Sheng suspiciously glanced at Lu Ran.
