Han Zhuoli gave Lu Man a meaningful look and said, “That is how Grandma and my mom thought of me back then. The elders in our family always felt that we are harder to sell.”
It was obvious that they become more and more popular every time they were up for grabs. Only heaven knew who gave them the illusion that they were hard to sell.
Lu Man held back her laughter. She straightened her ears and continued listening to Old Mrs. Han and Lin Liye chatting. She felt that their conversation was so interesting.
Han Zhuofeng looked as if he had a toothache.
Han Zhuoli raised his eyebrow. “Are you having a toothache?’
“I’m feeling pain for both of you.” Han Zhuofeng covered the side of his face and grimaced, as if he really had a toothache at the back of his mouth.
Lu Man looked over in confusion and saw Han Zhuofeng pointing to one side as he said, “Did both of you forget about someone?”
Lu Man turned and looked. “…”
Right, they forgot Han Zhuoling was here too.
Old Mrs. Han and Lin Liye were chatting excitedly just now, but Han Zhuoling did not say a word ever since he came and just held on to his iPad there as if he was working. He really did not forget to work wherever he went.
In the end, Lu Man forgot about Han Zhuoling.
Who asked Old Mrs. Han and Lin Liye to talk as if there was no one around?
When they came in the past, Han Zhuoling was always not around. Perhaps Old Mrs. Han and Lin Liye got used to it or something. They were really not afraid of Han Zhuoling hearing them, so they purposely said it for him to hear, not avoiding him at all. It ended up giving Lu Man the wrong impression that Han Zhuoling was not around.
At that moment, even Old Mrs. Han and Lin Liye stopped talking.
It was obvious that both of them were not purposely saying it for Han Zhuoling to hear.
Even though they were elders, they still lost their confidence when they saw Han Zhuoling’s cold and stern face.
Lu Man: “…”
Seems like both of them forgot as well.
Lu Man timidly leaned towards Han Zhuoli, seeking him for protection.
Seeing how timid she looked, Han Zhuoli held back his laughter and wrapped his long arms around her waist, as if to trap her in his arms.
Lu Man instantly felt assured.
Han Zhuoling tsked and said to Lu Man, “I’m old, I have a bad character, I am a workaholic, and it’s a big problem that young ladies will not lay their eyes on me. These aren’t things that you said, why are you getting nervous?”
Lu Man blinked. She turned towards Old Mrs. Han and Lin Liye very unfaithfully.
Old Mrs. Han: “…”
Lin Liye: “…”
Han Zhuoling slowly turned to look at them.
Old Mrs. Han: “…”
Lin Liye: “…”
This damned child.
Old Mrs. Han tapped on her phone for a while before passing it to Han Zhuoling. “Zhuoling, look. I’ve already asked about two young ladies here. They’re not bad. See if they suit your taste, alright?”
Han Zhuoling glanced at the iPad in his hands and then at Old Mrs. Han’s phone, as if he was making a choice between work and women.
Without hesitation, Han Zhuoling said, “It’s not urgent. I just had a divorce. I’m not in the mood to start a new relationship.”
“Yo yo yo, you talk as if you had any feelings from your previous relationship.” Old Mrs. Han spoke without giving him face at all.
Han Zhuoling: “…”
Han Zhuoling glanced briefly at the photo in Old Mrs. Han’s phone and said, “These two are not my type.”
“Then tell me, what type do you like?” Old Mrs. Han quickly asked. “So that I can help you ask around based on the type that you like too.”
Lin Liye said, “You better not appease us or reject the help. You are always busy with work and never come home. Where would you have the time to get to know girls? It’s because of this, that’s why we want to help you find one. When Zhuoli said he would look for one himself and the family agreed, that was because we knew that he was not such a workaholic like you.”
