Chapter 328 Asking girls such questions
With a resounding thud of the gavel, the storyteller slowly began to recite the script he had prepared.
“It is said that the Laba Festival is a good day to appreciate plum blossoms, and to meet with teachers and friends. However, sometimes, unexpected things happen.”
As soon as the storyteller uttered his first words, a smile appeared on Gu Shuyan's lips: The show is about to begin.
"Miss Gu will be sixteen after the New Year, right? I wonder what the Marquis's family plans for Miss Gu's marriage?"
Lu Youming picked up the freshly served Longjing tea, smelled it, and waited for the refreshing aroma to spread throughout his body before taking a small sip.
"Your Highness has a good memory. It is indeed sixteen after the New Year. However, this marriage is something that my elders will take care of. I have no interest in it."
Gu Shuyan wasn't embarrassed at all by being asked about her age and marriage. It was her birthday in the first month of the lunar calendar, so there was nothing to hide. As for her marriage, she already knew what was going on, so why should she tell others?
Gu Shuyan remained expressionless, but Lu Yuanbin put down his teacup and gave Lu Youming a deep look. Although he had previously received news that Lu Youming seemed to be eyeing Gu Shuyan, hearing it from others was far less shocking than seeing it with his own eyes.
"Is it inappropriate for Third Brother to ask other girls such questions?"
Gu Yuanbin squinted. He used to think that Lu Youming was a good-for-nothing. Even though he was the emperor's son and had his maternal family as a backer, he never fought for anything and just followed the crown prince's lead.
But ever since the Crown Prince was confined to his quarters, Lu Youming has changed completely. Not only has he started to show off in front of his father, but he has also started to seek support for himself.
Sure enough, those born into royalty are bound to be competitive. If he hadn't received advance warning, he probably would have been caught off guard recently.
"Fifth brother is right. It was indeed impolite of me to ask such a question, but I think Miss Gu probably won't mind."
As Lu Youming spoke, his affectionate eyes turned unabashedly to Gu Shuyan.
Upon seeing this, Gu Shuyan blushed and lowered her head completely.
Seeing this, the two men assumed that Gu Shuyan was shy, but Gu Shuyan herself knew that she was actually angry.
I never knew what she was thinking before. Lu Youming's attitude just now clearly showed her no respect whatsoever. If someone truly cared about her, they would never have said those things for her sake.
But Lu Youming was only thinking about being associated with himself, so he didn't care at all about how this action would damage his reputation if it got out and people found out.
I must have been blind in my past life to ruin my own and my family's lives for such a despicable person who would stop at nothing.
"Third Brother, you'd better watch your words. Miss Gu is a young lady and has a sensitive face. How will she face people after saying such things?"
What Lu Yuanbin said offhand made Gu Shuyan unconsciously change her opinion of him.
In his previous life, Lu Yuanbin was ruthless and showed no mercy to Lu Youming's faction, even to his own people.
Compared to Lu Youming, who is dark on the inside but kind on the outside, Lu Yuanbin seems much better now. At least he knows how to respect a woman.
"Third Brother was reckless."
As Lu Youming spoke, he didn't show any sign of having done anything wrong. In his eyes, Gu Shuyan's shyness was an affirmation of his words, and he didn't care about anything else.
