Chapter 48: Sickly Person
Zhong Nianyao was not surprised by the answer, but nodded slightly, "I'm sorry, I just barged in unintentionally. I'll leave first and won't disturb you anymore."
After saying that, Zhong Nian Yao turned around and left.
In fact, when she was with Lu Yichen just now, her soul could feel an unprecedented sense of peace. She knew that this was because of the purple aura that Lu Yichen was carrying.
Those who are surrounded by purple aura have an imperial destiny, enjoying great fortune and the protection of Heaven. Even those around them can be protected. Of course, this also requires the willingness of those with the imperial destiny to protect them in order for Heaven to recognize them.
Just by staying by Lu Yichen's side, she could already feel the immense benefits. If she could stay by Lu Yichen's side all the time, it would definitely have a huge impact on the peace of her soul.
However, although the temptation was great, she was not deceived.
Although he possessed the destiny of an emperor, he lacked any compassion. In fact, there was a malevolent aura entwined with the purple aura. Clearly, Lu Yichen was a very dangerous person.
Following such a person, she was worried that her soul was not stable yet and her life might be lost one day.
It was not easy to get this chance to start over, so she cherished her life very much.
Seeing Zhong Nianyao leave without hesitation, Lu Yichen did not make any move. He took a deep look at the direction Zhong Nianyao left, then turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
Perhaps because her encounter with Lu Yichen wasn't particularly pleasant, Zhong Nianyao didn't continue wandering around the garden, lest she run into any more trouble. She followed the direction she had come from the corridor and returned to the hall.
The atmosphere in the hall was still lively. Even though the Lu family had not shown up yet, it did not stop others from socializing.
She looked through the crowd and saw Zhong Mengfan and Zhong Mengxuan like two butterflies, constantly shuttling back and forth in the hall, smiling as brightly as flowers, and chatting happily with those people.
Zhong Nianyao shrugged her shoulders. She was not interested in such occasions. So, she picked up a glass of juice and found a corner where no one would notice her.
About half an hour later, the old man and the old lady of the Lu family finally came down from the stairs.
Behind them followed the four masters of the Lu family: the eldest master Lu Yihong, the second master Lu Yiming, the third master Lu Yichen, and the fourth master Lu Yile.
Among them, Lu Yihong and Lu Yiming are already married, while Lu Yichen and Lu Yilei are still single.
However, the eyes of the unmarried young ladies present were almost all focused on Lu Yile.
Everyone knew that of the four sons of the Lu family, the other three had already established themselves in politics, the military, and the business world. However, the third son, Lu Yichen, had always been frail and sickly, having been hospitalized countless times since childhood. If it weren't for the Lu family's wealth and power, he might have died long ago.
So, even though he was almost thirty, he still hadn't married, and hadn't even arranged any marriage. After all, a sickly man who had accomplished nothing might die at any moment. Who would dare to marry their daughter to such a man? Did he really want his daughter to become a widow?
Zhong Nianyao looked at the four sons of the Zhong family, and finally her gaze fell on Lu Yichen, with a hint of deep thought in her eyes.
The current Lu Yichen seemed like a completely different person from the one she had just met in the garden.
At this moment, Lu Yichen's face was pale and his body was thin, looking as if he would fall ill at any moment. However, even so, it could not conceal his exquisite face and outstanding temperament.
At this time, Zhong Nianyao had returned to Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong.
Looking at Lu Yichen, who was completely different from just now, there was no trace of strangeness on her face.
She was certain that Lu Yichen was not as weak as he appeared. However, this had nothing to do with her. She did not want to get involved with a wealthy family like the Lu family.
After retracting her gaze, Zhong Nianyao continued to follow Mr. Zhong and Mrs. Zhong boredly, accompanying them to social events.
Although he said he was socializing, he was actually just following the two of them obediently.
As soon as the Lu family showed up, many people gathered around them. After all, everyone's purpose for coming here today was just to get close to the Lu family. Now that the host finally showed up, how could they miss such a good opportunity?
The Zhong family's status was not high, so being able to attend this birthday banquet today was already a pleasant surprise. Therefore, they had no chance to chat with the Lu family at all.
On the Lu family side——
Lu Yichen looked at the people who kept coming towards him. He just stood aside, like an outsider, looking somewhat indifferent.
"Third Master!"
At this moment, Ma Shishi, wearing a pink evening gown, came up. Her cheeks were flushed, and she looked at Lu Yichen shyly. She spoke cautiously, "Why don't we go out for a walk?"
While everyone else's target was Lu Yilei, she liked Lu Yichen. You could even say she fell in love with Lu Yichen at first sight, and she had been secretly in love with him for many years.
However, on weekdays, due to poor health, Lu Yichen rarely came out to meet people, so she had not been able to find an opportunity. Today, she finally got to meet him, and naturally, she didn't care about the girl's modesty and directly came up to invite him.
Although Liu Haojing on the side had a smile on her face, there was contempt in her eyes.
However, she quickly withdrew her gaze and focused all her attention on Lu Yilei. Even if she couldn't squeeze in, she still wanted to try.
After all, the current Fourth Master Lu hadn't yet decided on a marriage. If she was lucky enough to be noticed by Fourth Master Lu Yilei, she would truly be transformed into a phoenix. Even her father would have to act according to her wishes.
At the same time, she secretly laughed at and despised Ma Shishi's choice. Ma Shishi came from such a good family, but she chose a sickly person. It was really a waste of the advantages brought by her status.
Ma Shishi had no idea what her best friend was thinking at the moment. All her attention was on Lu Yichen, waiting for his answer.
Lu Yichen acted as if he didn't hear what Ma Shishi said. He coughed a few times, then stood up and walked towards Mr. and Mrs. Lu.
After saying goodbye, he went straight upstairs.
Throughout the whole process, he didn't even look at Ma Shishi, completely treating her as transparent.
