Yu Lingling's desire to conquer was aroused. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Zhu Yuan with great interest.
Zhu Yuan took a step back, his brows furrowed deeply; the smell emanating from this man made him want to vomit.
Yu Lingling was unaware that the man in front of her had already rejected her.
Upon closer inspection, she realized that the man in front of her was even more handsome than she had imagined.
Her cheeks flushed, her heart pounded, and her voice softened.
"Young master, may I ask your name?"
If the man didn't have any special background or status, she would definitely take him into her 'backyard' and make him her new pet.
Zhu Yuan's eyes were full of impatience, but with Kui Kui in sight, he had no choice but to maintain his persona.
"I am the son-in-law of the Zhen family! Who are you to dare block my way?"
Zhu Yuan looked disdainful; he had really succeeded in putting on a show of borrowing someone else's power.
Upon hearing this, everyone began to discuss it, as another prominent family surnamed Zhen had arrived in Mingzhou Prefecture.
Didn't you see how green the eldest daughter of the Yu family looked?
It seems that the Zhen family's status is truly extraordinary, as they are able to keep the lawless and domineering Miss Yu in check.
Looking at Zhu Yuan's confident and disdainful expression, and listening to the surrounding discussions, Yu Lingling couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
What is the background of this Zhen family?
Could it be that low-profile aristocratic family?
Thinking of the teachings her parents and elder brother had given her at home, Yu Lingling did not have anyone bring her back to the mansion as usual.
Moreover, she is a person of principle, even though the 'pet' in front of her is very much to her liking.
But she didn't forget that Zhu Yuan said he was the son-in-law of the Zhen family.
She doesn't want a scumbag who's already married.
Thinking of this, Yu Lingling's initial interest vanished instantly.
She waved her hand dismissively: "Go away! You dare to show off in those shabby clothes."
As she spoke, Yu Lingling glanced disdainfully at Zhu Yuan's attire, her contempt undisguised.
It's really not her fault. Her family has been the richest family in the country since the founding of the Hua Dynasty.
Although it is not as glorious as it used to be, it still has its foundation.
The outfit she's wearing is equivalent to the expenses of an average family for three years.
This is calculated based on households with high consumption levels.
Having lost interest, Yu Lingling was too lazy to waste any more time there.
She tightened her grip on the leash and continued 'walking the dog': "Little dog, come on! I heard a new department store recently opened in the city. They have lots of new and interesting things. Let's go take a look and I'll buy you a few things you like!"
Upon hearing this, the handsome young man who was tied up with a rope beamed with joy.
Unlike Yu Lingling's other pets, he was starving and desperate because of poverty, and happened to meet Yu Lingling, a generous "sucker".
He was the one who found a way to attract her attention, which led him to enter the manor.
Because the other pets disdained to compete for favor, he was Yu Lingling's favorite pet in the mansion.
Yu Lingling usually treated him well, giving him whatever he wanted.
As long as he is obedient, willing to set aside his pride and satisfy some of her hobbies, he lives a life of blissful happiness.
The Yu family provided them with everything they needed for food, drink, accommodation, and transportation, and his treatment was the best among them.
Life is so much better than when I was at home.
Now that he is favored by the emperor, his parents, brothers and sisters are living a better life.
This time, he went to the department store with Yu Lingling. If he looked at it a few more times, she would definitely buy it and give it to him.
He had heard that the things inside the department store were very novel, and he had been curious about them for a long time.
Now that he has the opportunity to go and see for himself, how could he possibly miss it?
So when Lingling mentioned this, he nodded obediently, like a well-behaved puppy.
Yu Lingling was pleased to see her 'pet' so obedient.
The two walked around Zhuyuan. As the man passed Zhuyuan, he bumped into his shoulder and gave him a provocative smile.
Zhu Yuan frowned, disgusted by the scene.
However, it's a good thing that this person isn't causing trouble.
Thinking about the guards, and calculating the time, Zhen Wanwan should be arriving soon.
He had to go and meet his wife.
Zhu Yuan walked straight toward the city gate, but suddenly stopped and looked at his own clothes, finding them extremely offensive.
He turned around, preparing to change his clothes.
Unexpectedly, a familiar voice came from behind him, a voice deeply etched in his heart.
Zhen Wanwan hurried along, managing to take a shortcut and arrive at her destination ahead of schedule.
She was filled with confusion. The exploration device clearly showed that Zhu Yuan was here, but why couldn't she see him?
A-Yue searched around but couldn't find Zhu Yuan anywhere.
As for the secret guards, they had already hidden themselves again when they approached the city.
Only Zhen Wanwan and A Yue have entered the city so far.
"Ah Yue, can you take a look and see if this thing is broken?"
She strongly suspected that the thing had been left unused for too long and had gone bad.
A-Yue obediently checked it over, but still couldn't understand the problem.
"My lady, I don't understand," A-Yue replied honestly.
The two women, mistress and servant, talked as if no one else was around, completely ignoring Zhu Yuan, who was standing not far from them with his back to them.
Zhu Yuan's face darkened. How could Madam not see such a grown man like him?
Suddenly, an untimely person appeared.
"Hey, isn't this Boss Zhen? Do you have time to come to the market for a game today?"
