The moment the words were spoken, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
The atmosphere in the inn was frozen solid!
All three parties were stunned.
What did Zhou Cheng see from his perspective?
He saw rows of young women standing in front of him, each one beautiful and slender, with a faint smile on their face as they bowed their heads. A dozen or so of them stood in two rows, kneeling and bowing to him.
"........" What, what??
Did he go to the wrong room?
That's right!
He's booked the entire inn! How could he be wrong?
But who could tell him what was going on with these dozen or so graceful women who suddenly appeared? He hadn't set an appointment!
"Whoosh—"
A handkerchief fell to the ground.
What was reflected in the child's pupils was a row of beautiful women, all dressed identically, suggesting they were of low status, either maids or servants.
But, but where can you find a maid so beautiful? She's even more beautiful than Wangcheng's number one beauty! Whose person is she anyway? Is she just picky about looks when choosing a maid?
After scanning over a dozen women, Lin'er's gaze was immediately drawn to a splash of red in the very center.
Cheng Xianyi sat there with a cold expression.
Feeling Lin'er's scrutinizing gaze, Cheng Xianyi slightly raised her eyes and glanced at her. Her eyes shone brightly, causing Lin'er's face to turn deathly pale in an instant.
Her skin was so delicate it seemed to break at a touch, her bones as smooth as ice and jade, and her features were flawless, as if bestowed by the gods. At this moment, eight words suddenly popped into Lin'er's mind involuntarily: peerless.
who is she? !
"Immortal intent, what's going on?"
"They are all...?"
Cheng Xianyi withdrew her oppressive gaze from Lin'er and immediately threw herself into Zhou Cheng's arms, smiling at him: "Cheng, they are all my former best friends, and they came here especially to see you."
Best friend?
Zhou Cheng glanced at the outfits of the dozen or so people with a complicated expression. This... did these friends even agree on what to wear?
They were dressed exactly the same.
Zhou Cheng reached out and patted Cheng Xianyi's head, then looked at Qingyan and the others with a sigh and said, "Is that so? I almost thought I had gone to the wrong inn."
"Young Master Zhou, please don't take offense. We didn't want to come here rashly, but Sister Cheng has been praising you to us, and we sisters were very curious, so we came to see for ourselves."
"Now that we've seen him, he's even more upright than we imagined."
"We are all so happy for Sister Cheng that she has a fiancé like you. We are so envious."
"Yeah yeah........"
"Who is this lady? Why is she coming back with Young Master Zhou? Is she your new maid? Well, Sister Cheng is delicate and frail, so she needs a maid to serve her."
Lin'er overheard these words.
She was suddenly jolted awake from Cheng Xianyi's radiant beauty, a strange sense of inferiority rising within her. Her eyes darted away, and the usually confident woman could only lower her head at this moment.
Hearing Qingyan and the others' questions, Lin'er felt even more humiliated and embarrassed.
She could only bite her lip, her eyes reddening, and say, "I'm not a maid. You're really bullying me. I'm the daughter of the Prefect of Wangcheng! How could I possibly be someone's maid?"
"If you're not a maid, then what are you doing here?"
"I, I, I..."
The words about agreeing to marry Zhou Cheng were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back down.
