Chapter 305: Adulterer (5)
Thinking of what Shen Miao had just said, “Everyone who comes here is either rich or noble,” Jing Chuchu suddenly had an idea.
The young man seemed to have noticed her as well, and looked over here. When he saw Jing Chuchu's appearance clearly, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
Jing Chuchu wore a moon-white jacket and a matching emerald skirt, with fair skin and beautiful features. Most importantly, she had a gentle and timid demeanor. She glanced at the young man and quickly lowered her head in fear. Most women in Dingjing behaved gracefully and appropriately, as if living in the imperial capital. Such a delicate, timid, and endearing girl from the south of the Yangtze River was extremely rare. The young man stared at her with a fixed gaze, and the more intense his gaze became, the deeper Jing Chuchu lowered her head.
Time passed slowly, and the dishes were all served, but Shen Miao still hadn't come over. Only Jing Chuchu was sitting at the table. She didn't eat by herself, so she just sipped her tea in small sips, looking quite bewildered and confused.
Finally, the richly dressed young man at the next table couldn't help himself. He walked over to sit across from Jing Chuchu in full view of everyone and asked softly, "Young lady, you've been waiting here for a long time. Are you waiting for someone?"
Jing Chuchu was startled. When she looked up and saw the other person, her face immediately turned red. She lowered her head and whispered, "I, I'm waiting for my cousin."
The young man asked with concern, "Why hasn't your cousin come yet? How can you leave her alone?"
Jing Chuchu blushed and shook her head, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare. If others saw her like this, she would be bullied. The young master was determined and said, "Well, since I have nothing to do, why don't I stay here and wait with you?"
"No, no need to bother." Jing Chuchu said quickly: "Sir, why bother..."
"It's okay," the man said with a smile. "If someone with bad intentions comes over while you're sitting here alone, it'll probably cause a lot of trouble. It's better for me to stay here with you."
His soft words and gentle smile made it easy for people to have a good impression of him. Jing Chuchu lowered her head and said, "Thank you very much, sir."
"The girl doesn't look like she's from Dingjing City." he asked.
"I'm from Suzhou," Jing Chuchu said. The two of them chatted like this, one after another. The young man was very good at talking, and with just a few words, Jing Chuchu's face was filled with smiles. Although she looked a little shy, her attitude towards the man gradually became closer. The young man told some interesting stories about himself, and from his conversation, it seemed that he had traveled a lot and had a wealthy family. This made Jing Chuchu's smile even deeper.
From another private room in Happy House, through the carved window, one could clearly see Jing Chuchu's table from afar. Bai Lu said, "Cousin, you can talk to a stranger for so long." Her words betrayed disdain.
“That’s not an ordinary man.” Shen Miao supported her chin with one hand and said lightly.
"Young lady, do you know that young man?" Shuangjiang asked curiously, and the guards inside were also a little surprised. Shen Miao left Jing Chuchu there alone and sat down elsewhere, seemingly just to allow Jing Chuchu to talk to the man. Now, from what Shen Miao said, she knew that man as well?
Shen Miao smiled slightly but said nothing.
"I say," On the other side, in a room in Happy Building, Ji Yushu's eyes were about to pop out: "She doesn't know Sun Cainan, right?"
“Although Sun Cainan is the only legitimate son of Sun Tianzheng, he has never entered the officialdom. He is a prodigal son raised in the mansion who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. He has never even been to Guangwen Hall. How did Shen Miao know him?” Gao Yang glanced at him.
