Chapter 75 - An Extraordinary Girl
“Girls are more reserved. They prefer to develop feelings over time. If you’re too anxious, you might scare them away.”
Yun Ting smiled knowingly and spoke faintly.
“That’s the opposite, right?” Shi Yi laughed coldly. “Isn’t that Fu Sisi’s attitude towards you? Could it be that you think you’re a lady?”
Fu Sisi was Prime Minister Fu’s daughter and Chu Sihan’s cousin.
She liked Yun Ting ever since she became sensible, and had been chasing after him for years.
Putting everything else aside, this trip to Lin Jiang Mansion took several horse carriages to shake her off.
Yun Ting glanced coldly at Shi Yi and did not speak.
Chu Sihan smiled lightly and said, “Sisi’s feelings towards Brother Yun have always been straightforward. There’s no need to guess.”
His cousin was quite obsessed with Yun Ting.
She was fifteen years old now. She had liked Yun Ting ever since she was ten years old. She had pursued him for five years. Even though she received no response, she did not give up.
Given her background and beauty, they would have long been a couple if it were another man.
Yet, Yun Ting did not know how to appreciate her kindness and had kept her cold for years.
Shi Yi collapsed onto the stone chair and sneered. “Hide as much as you can. When the time comes and she marries someone else, it’ll be too late for you to regret it.”
Yun Ting smiled coldly. “Wouldn’t it be better if she marries someone else? That way, she won’t have to bother me every day.”
Shi Yi snorted and said, “You’re saying one thing and meaning another.”
In his opinion, Yun Ting was the type of person who would not shed a tear until he saw his coffin.
The girl had put down her reservations and pestered him for five years, but he remained indifferent.
If he had not seen his anxious expression when Fu Sisi was sick previously, he would have believed that he did not have feelings for her.
Chu Sihan thought to himself, “Am I too anxious?”
Wasn’t he too rash to ask such a question after knowing the girl for less than a month?
“Why did Miss Lu follow you to Lin Jiang Mansion?”
Yun Ting automatically ignored Shi Yi’s words and turned to ask Chu Sihan.
“Her?” Chu Sihan said in a low voice, “She was entrusted by someone to send over the valuables from the Deng Mansion with me.”
A lot of people in the capital talked about the Deng mansion’s murder case. That was why Shi Yi and Yun Ting knew about it.
“Miss Lu escorting the items with you?”
Shi Yi was surprised. “The journey must not have been smooth sailing, right?”
Lu Sheng was just a weak girl. Wouldn’t she be a burden if she followed them?
Chu Sihan knew what his doubts were and hurriedly explained, “Her martial art skills should be on par with mine.”
“Cough, cough —”
The usually-calm Yun Ting choked on his tea, while Shi Yi was shocked.
Yun Ting was the first to react. He spoke in disbelief, “Isn’t she a girl from a small village? Her martial art skills are actually on par with yours?”
Chu Sihan nodded. “Perhaps, she’s even better than me.”
It was also part of her capabilities that she knew how to do other things.
If he went against her, it would even be difficult for him to win.
“Liu Yue Village is filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons!”
Shi Yi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly exclaimed.
They knew of Chu Sihan’s martial arts, but he claimed that Lu Sheng’s was on par with his or even better than his. How could this not shock them?
“I knew it.”
Yun Ting smiled faintly. “Given Brother Chu’s judgment, you would not be interested in an average girl.”
There were countless ladies in the capital who admired Chu Sihan, and there was no lack of beauties amongst them. However, no one had caught his eye.
Hence, when Yun Ting saw Lu Sheng, he guessed that she was not an ordinary girl.
After all, although Lu Sheng was beautiful and refined, among the women who admired Chu Sihan, there were some who won her in terms of looks.
If Chu Sihan had only cared about looks, he would have taken a liking to someone else long ago.
However, he did not expect her to be more capable than he had imagined.
