Chapter 314 Zhongyi
Gu Shuyan ate her meal without paying any attention to the ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them, as if only the delicious food in front of her could attract her attention.
The meal ended quickly. Gu Shuyan put down her chopsticks, picked up a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and then looked at the two people in front of her.
"Aren't you all hungry?" Gu Shuyan looked at the almost untouched bowls and chopsticks, and waved her hand: "Never mind, I've already finished eating. You guys take your time. I'm going back now."
Seeing the two chatting casually, Gu Shuyan stood up from her seat.
"Miss Gu is leaving already?"
Lu Youming then realized that with Yan Meier's presence, he hadn't spoken to Gu Shuyan at all during the meal.
"I'm stuffed."
Gu Shuyan looked at Lu Youming, confused, as if to say, "I'm full, so I'm leaving now!"
"Then how about I give it to you?"
Although Lu Youming had a pleasant chat with Yan Meier, he did not forget that his biggest target was Gu Shuyan.
I heard that Lu Yuanbin and the Sun family have already started to win over the Gu family, but it seems that they haven't decided yet who will be the Fifth Prince's consort.
If he doesn't make a move now while the other side is still undecided, his chances of winning will be greatly reduced once the Gu family and the other side get married.
"I have my own guards, so Your Highness need not trouble yourself."
After saying that, Gu Shuyan seemed to have thought of something and looked at Yan Meier, saying, "Sister Yan, you probably didn't bring many people with you today. Why don't you wait until you finish eating and have the Third Prince escort you back?"
Gu Shuyan spoke politely on the surface, but in reality, she was anything but. Wasn't she just manipulating a prince like this?
However, to Lu Youming's surprise, these words made him feel that Gu Shuyan was not treating him like an outsider and that she considered him one of her own.
"In that case, why don't you have your men escort you back? That way I'll feel more at ease."
Lu Youming's tone suddenly took on a hint of affection, making Gu Shuyan feel nauseous and almost vomit.
Don't worry about me, do you think I'm going to put your mind at ease?
"Your Highness's intentions are clear to me, but Your Highness is of noble status, so it would be better for these people to stay by Your Highness's side to protect you."
While silently complaining, Gu Shuyan's tone softened considerably, and she seemed genuinely concerned about Lu Youming.
Since the beauty was thinking of him, Lu Youming naturally didn't say anything more. "Alright then! Drive carefully."
Nodding, Gu Shuyan led her maids out of the restaurant.
"Does Your Highness take a liking to Sister Shuyan?"
Yan Meier wasn't used to calling Gu Shuyan that, but in order to make Lu Youming think highly of her, she could only use this method to get closer to him.
"Why would Miss Yan ask such a question?"
A gentle gaze fell upon Yan Meier, whose cheeks flushed red. Whether out of shyness or disappointment, she lowered her head.
"Mei'er noticed that His Highness treats Sister Shuyan differently, so she wondered if His Highness had taken a liking to Sister Shuyan."
"Mei'er is indeed intelligent, and the Gu family is of high social standing, making Miss Gu a suitable match. However, in my eyes, Mei'er is the one I truly desire!"
With no one else around, Lu Youming didn't hold back his praise for her, and even his hands started to get a little restless.
Yan Meier was overjoyed upon hearing this, but on the surface she still pretended to be timid. "Your Highness is probably just trying to make Meier happy. Meier's family background and status are no match for Sister Shuyan. How could Your Highness like Meier?"
