Chapter 327 A Sour Feeling

"By the way, what brings Your Highnesses here to go shopping today?"

Seeing the awkward atmosphere between the two, Gu Shuyan quickly tried to smooth things over and changed the subject.

Speaking of this, the two exchanged a glance and quickly said with a smile, "We just happened to be free, so we decided to come over for a cup of tea together."

Gu Shuyan didn't care whether their words were true or false. She was the one who asked Yun Yichen to lure them out today, and whatever the lure was, as long as the two of them came, that was fine.

"Really? What a coincidence." Gu Shuyan smiled and then turned to look at the two sisters who were still watching the variety show.

"It's better to meet by chance than by plan. Your younger sister is accompanied by others, so why don't you come with us, Miss Gu?"

Lu Yuanbin, who was used to being arrogant in front of Lu Youming, didn't care at all what Lu Youming would think and directly extended an invitation to Gu Shuyan.

To be honest, although he felt that Gu Shuyan was not as boring as other young ladies, he could not say that he liked her. If he had to express his feelings, he could only say that he had a good impression of her.

However, when Lu Yuanbin learned that Lu Youming had begun to pursue Gu Shuyan, he felt extremely uncomfortable. Even though he did not intend to marry Gu Shuyan directly, he still couldn't help but come here.

"Your Highness's kindness is appreciated, and I will certainly do my best to comply."

Gu Shuyan hadn't considered refusing for a long time, so she immediately agreed to Lu Yuanbin's suggestion.

Lu Youming had originally intended to invite him, but Lu Yuanbin's interruption forced him to swallow his words.

He thought Gu Shuyan would reject him just like she had rejected him before, but to his surprise, Gu Shuyan agreed so easily and so readily today.

Thinking back to how he had bought so many gifts for Gu Shuyan but hadn't received a kind look from her, Lu Youming felt extremely uncomfortable for some reason, and even looking at Lu Yuanbin made him feel sour.

The three of them arrived at the teahouse one after the other. Gu Shuyan asked Xu Feng to keep watch over Gu Yuxin and the other girl downstairs in case they came looking for them, while she herself only took Mingyu with her and went upstairs.

"Oh, it's Your Highness the Fifth Prince! What would you like to drink today?"

Upon seeing the three, the waiter rushed to greet Lu Yuanbin, showing a slight neglect towards the other two.

Lu Youming was not a high-profile person to begin with, and he often accompanied the Crown Prince as an accompaniment, so it was normal that the waiter recognized Lu Yuanbin but not him.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanbin glanced at Lu Youming with interest. "What would you like to drink, Third Brother?"

"Bring me a pot of Longjing tea!" Lu Youming's expression remained unchanged, but his hands began to tap rhythmically on the table.

Gu Shuyan had lived with Lu Youming for many years in her previous life and believed she knew his habits quite well. When he was doing this, it meant he was suppressing his emotions. And the faster he knocked, the more agitated he was.

Looking at her rhythmic fingers, Gu Shuyan maintained a perfectly measured smile. If you didn't look closely, no one would notice the slight disdain in her eyes.

At the same time, a pair of familiar people walked into the lobby downstairs. One was Luo Hao, whom the young masters of the capital now avoided like the plague, and the other was Yan Meier, whom Gu Shuyan had not seen for only two or three days.

Yan Meier didn't seem to be with Luo Hao, but after they reached the second floor, she subtly entered Luo Hao's private room.

Inside the hall on the first floor, the storyteller, carrying the script he had prepared overnight, slowly walked up to the high platform. As soon as he entered the hall, a crowd quickly gathered around him.
