26: Am I Good-Looking?

Am I Good-Looking?

0

When Chu Sihan referred to himself, he used an informal term. This stunned the county magistrate, but he realized it after a while.

Chu Sihan did not want Lu Sheng to learn his identity.

Chu Yun was also very quick-witted, and he said to Lu Ran, "Our Young Master wants to talk to Miss Lu. Mister Lu, please follow me first."

Hearing that, Lu Ran worriedly looked at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng passed Lu Jiang to him and said with a smile, "Brother, don't worry. I'll be fine."

Before leaving, Lu Ran looked back at her with a complicated gaze.

He kept feeling that ever since his younger sister had returned after disappearing, she had changed a lot in terms of personality and other aspects.

"Miss Lu, please follow me."

The county magistrate wanted to follow them, but Chu Sihan suddenly shot him a cold glance, and he unconsciously stopped his footsteps.

The satisfied Chu Sihan withdrew his gaze and walked out first.

Lu Sheng bowed to the county magistrate with a smile and hurried after Chu Sihan.

When the jailer saw this, even though he felt a bit reluctant to give her up, he no longer dared to have any other ideas.

Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng left the jail and went to a restaurant.

The waiter respectfully led them to a room on the second floor and served some snacks and tea to them before leaving.

Both of them sat opposite each other, and neither of them spoke for a long time.

"Am I pretty?" Lu Sheng was the one to break the ice. She asked as she raised her eyebrow and smiled.

The question left Chu Sihan speechless.

It was the first time in the twenty years of his life that he saw such an unreserved woman.

Hence, he merely replied, "Chu Sihan."

"Huh?" Lu Sheng did not react in time.

He patiently replied, "My name."

"Oh." She smiled and stuck her hand out. "Lu Sheng."

Chu Sihan stared at her hand with a weird expression.

Only then did Lu Sheng remember that people in this era did not shake hands. She smiled and calmly withdrew her hand.

In the process, she grabbed some pastries and stuffed them into her mouth.

Chu Sihan was still waiting for a reaction from her. However, she just kept snacking and drinking her tea without any expressions.

He frowned.

"Don't… you have anything to ask?"

"What?"

Her clear eyes were filled with confusion.

Chu Sihan said, "I'm from the Chu Family."

"So?"

She did not know what he was trying to say.

Chu Sihan looked at her for a while before secretly sighing.

"Never mind." He fell silent for a moment before continuing, "Did you go to the mountain at the back last night?"

"The mountain at the back?" Lu Sheng blinked. "Where's that?"

Although she appeared innocent on the surface, she was complaining in her heart, "This man is indeed not simple. He suspected that it's me after a single look!"

"It's alright if you don't admit it."

His memory had always been good, and he had noted down the height and the figure of the person from the day before.

Before entering the room, he had walked behind her on purpose and discovered that her figure looked identical to what he had noted down.

Even the length of her hair was identical.

"So, what do you want to say by inviting me here?"

She sounded impatient.

Noticing that she was trying to evade the question, Chu Sihan suddenly got the impulse to tease her.

"Do you know who you're going to marry?" he asked.

When Lu Sheng heard him, she carelessly replied, "I heard that he's the magistrate of the Lin Jiang Mansion."

As she spoke, she drank a sip of tea and complained, "Just from his title, I can tell that he's quite old. To yearn after young and pretty girls at that age, that old man must not be a good guy. Perhaps, he's even a corrupt official."

When Chu Sihan heard her complain about the 'corrupt official Chu Sihan,' he did not know what to say.
