The meeting was a mess, and there was no movement from Shen Jie for several days. Du Yaoyao thought that maybe he should give up.

He didn't come to Wuxing just for her. Ye Ying had just opened a school recently, and he might have come to congratulate his little lover.

Who knows if that shabby manor called Ye Ying over to mess around with him?

Not a serious person.

–

That morning, the sky was dim and the sun had not yet risen, and someone knocked on the courtyard door loudly.

Dashan always sleeps lightly. He puts on his clothes and goes to open the door.

A pretty little servant boy at the door asked politely, "Is Madam Du here?"

"What do you want?" Dashan asked.

A tall, handsome, and noble young man walked over from the side and said calmly, "My last name is Shen, and I'm looking for Du Yaoyao."

The man walked calmly and had a steady temperament. He was as handsome as a pine tree in the mountains and as elegant as a crane in the clouds, which made people feel ashamed of himself.

Judging from his attire, demeanor and words, Dashan guessed that he might be Du Yaoyao's previous husband who was young and powerful.

——The talented, handsome, wealthy and powerful Prime Minister of Chu.

Dashan didn't invite them in, but closed the door and said, "Please wait a moment."

Du Yaoyao was woken up from her deep sleep. When she heard Chen Jie coming to the door, she was so frightened that all her sleepiness disappeared.

After cleaning my teeth and washing my face, I wrapped a pillow around my stomach and put on a casual dress to meet the guests.

"What are you doing here?"

Xiao Cui opened the door, Du Yaoyao stood in the middle, and Dashan followed behind. She questioned with a frown.

Chen Jie glanced at Dashan and said confidently, "Can't I come?" as if his husband came to catch him cheating.

Du Yaoyao was speechless, and turned around to send Dashan away, "Brother Dashan, pack up first and go to the shop. I have something to take care of."

"Hey." Dashan responded tactfully.

Chen Jie looked towards Xiao Cui. The cold and sharp gaze was so familiar, Xiao Cui hurriedly said: "Madam, I will go to prepare breakfast."

Du Yaoyao did not invite Shen Jie to enter the courtyard. She leaned against the door and raised her pointed chin. "What's your purpose? Tell me."

Chen Jie winked at Liu'er, and Liu'er trotted to the carriage and brought back a package. He held it in his hand and took a step forward, "Lend it."

The tone and expression were extremely serious.

Are you okay? Du Yaoyao screamed in her heart.

You are dressed so flashily and yet you come here to rent the house?

Actually, I can’t say I’m a show-off. Chen Jie usually didn't pay much attention to his clothes and appearance, but today he obviously put some thought into it. The green fabric was smooth and delicate, and at first glance it looked like it was worth a fortune. Paired with the same jade hairpin, he looked like a handsome young man.

Men dress up to please themselves, and Du Yaoyao was inexplicably pleased.

Dashan and Shen Jie's appearances are not on the same level.

He doesn't look like he's here to catch an adulterer, but rather like he's here to challenge the man.

Du Yaoyao cleared her throat and said seriously, "My small temple cannot accommodate a big Buddha like you. Lord Shen, please move your feet."

Chen Jie ignored her sarcasm and shook the bag in his hand, "Not to mention that I am your nominal husband now, just the fact that your household registration shows that you are single, I am qualified to pursue you with others."

Does he really intend to move in and compete with Dashan and Song Xingkai?
