Chapter 125: Almost Becoming Husband and Wife
The term ‘uncle’ immediately dispelled Chu Sihan’s animosity towards He Lai.
Lu Sheng explained, “Idol refers to the person you worship. Haven’t you always wanted to see Lord Chu? Isn’t he the person in front of you?”
“Chu... Chu... Lord Chu?!”
He Lai’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Yes.”
Chu Sihan nodded good-naturedly.
The girl’s uncle was also his future uncle.
Naturally, they had to be more polite to their elders.
He Lai took a few deep breaths and only calmed down after a while.
Standing in front of Chu Sihan, he restrained himself and said happily, “Lord Chu, I’m He Lai, Lu Sheng’s uncle. I’ve heard of your deeds and I admire you very much!”
Chu Sihan did not know how to react and could only look at Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng chuckled and stood up. “Uncle, you scared the Lord.”
“Huh?” When He Lai heard that, he hurriedly apologized. “Sorry, Lord Chu. I didn’t mean to scare you. I was just agitated!”
Chu Sihan coughed lightly and shook his head. “It’s alright.”
He Lai smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, not knowing how to react.
“Since I’m going out, shall we go to Tian Xiang Restaurant for a drink?”
Chu Sihan looked at the duo and suggested.
“No need for that!” He Lai said, “I have to return to the academy later. The both of you go ahead.”
He was afraid that he would continue to embarrass himself in front of Chu Sihan.
“Uncle, you haven’t eaten lunch yet. Let’s eat together. The Lord is treating.”
After speaking, Lu Sheng looked at Chu Sihan. He naturally replied, “Yes.”
Matriarch Chu initially wanted to visit her ‘future granddaughter-in-law’. However, when she saw the scene in the room, she started to cower.
Ever since she made Chu Hongzhong marry Mdm Jiang, Chu Sihan became more distant from her.
All these years, even in front of Fu Ting, she had never seen such a gentle expression on her grandson’s face.
“Matriarch, aren’t you going in?” the servant reminded her softly.
Matriarch Chu smiled bitterly and shook her head. “No, let’s go back.”
Not long after Matriarch Chu left, the four people in the study room came out.
He Lai pulled Lu Sheng behind Chu Sihan deliberately and asked softly, “Lu Sheng, I didn’t expect you to know Lord Chu!”
“Yes!”
Lu Sheng lifted her chin and nodded proudly. “You didn’t believe me when I said that. Do you believe me now?”
“Then... How did you know Lord Chu?” He Lai was very curious.
Lu Sheng pursed her lips and said, “Uncle might not believe me if I say this, but Lord Chu and I almost became husband and wife.”
“Husband... and wife?”
He Lai seemed to have thought of something and his eyes widened immediately. “So the Chu family that sister-in-law mentioned is Lord Chu’s family?”
At that time, he was listening to Mdm Lian, his mother, and his aunt say that the Chu family wanted Lu Sheng to marry over. However, because Lu Sheng suddenly went missing, they missed out on this engagement.
As he was in a hurry to return to the academy, he did not listen carefully. Now that Lu Sheng said this, he remembered.
Lu Sheng nodded. “Yes, the person who wanted to marry me previously was Lord Chu.”
Chu Sihan listened to their conversation and his thin lips curved upwards.
Chu Yun looked at Lu Sheng and He Lai behind him, then at Chu Sihan. He could not help but sigh secretly.
In the past, he strongly disapproved of the saying that even a hero could not escape the charms of a beauty.
He felt that his lord had overcome all obstacles and was invincible. All love and affection were fleeting clouds in his lord’s eyes.
However, it seemed like the ancients did not lie to him. This was true!
