“What is it?” Lil Seven who genuinely had no idea questioned modestly.
“She didn’t care.” Tang Ling twitched his eyebrows as he explained nonchalantly.
This was already a well-known fact among the men. Tang Ling had brought it up again just to provoke Ye Lanchen.
The latter appeared infuriated.
“Third Elder Sister-in-law, why are you drinking tea alone?” Fifth Young Master Shen could not resist greeting the woman who was sitting at a corner all by herself.
His tone did not sound as scornful as before; it was even laced with a hint of enthusiasm.
Chu Wuyou was taken aback upon hearing the way he addressed her. She had met Fifth Young Master twice ever since she got married to Ye Lanchen.
No, as a matter of fact, Fifth Young Master Shen had only seen her once. This was because she had applied make-up to disguise her appearance when she went to the police station to handle the thorny case. She looked completely different during that visit.
Fifth Young Master Shen could not have recognized her then.
The last time they met, Fifth Young Master Shen still addressed her as First Young Lady Chu, evidently not showing any admiration toward her.
Yet, did he just call her Third Elder Sister-in-law?!
Chu Wuyou understood the sudden change of tone must mean something was up.
Besides, the man sounded unusually enthusiastic in a peculiar way…
“Should I bring you a glass of wine?” For reasons unknown to himself, Fifth Young Master Shen became flustered when the woman declined to reply.
She lifted her eyes to meet his gaze before shifting her attention toward Ye Lanchen. Her eyebrows twitched and she tightened her fingers around the teacup.
“Fifth Young Master Shen, this place is pretty good. The interior design is rather unique and the atmosphere created is right on point.” A smile washed over Chu Wuyou’s face as she commented casually while scanning the room.
“Indeed.” This compliment caught Fifth Young Master Shen by surprise. He was completely caught off guard by the woman’s sudden remark on the room’s design. Despite that, his face revealed a hint of satisfaction.
Not many people knew that Fifth Young Master Shen was the owner of Leng Jue. He installed the most advanced security cameras in all of the private rooms except this particular room and the other one that belonged to Young Master Leng. He had successfully retrieved plenty of useful information from the footage throughout these years.
Therefore, Fifth Young Master Shen did not want to discuss too much about it. He also remembered Tang Ling’s previous reminder, thus he tried his best to suppress his emotions in front of Chu Wuyou.
She discovered the truth despite his efforts.
“Fifth Young Master Shen, it’s obvious that you truly adore the design. I’m interested to find out which designer you worked with. Perhaps I could get the same designer when I purchase a house someday.” Her eyes darkened upon detecting the satisfaction lingering on the man’s face. However, she maintained the smile and her voice still sounded casual as normal.
Chu Wuyou was sitting quite far away from the others at this moment. It was loud in the room too thus the men could not hear the conversation from the other side of the room. However, Tang Ling was skilled in lip reading. He could not hide the admiration in his eyes as he read the words that formed on the Chu Wuyou’s lips. This woman was too bright and she was highly vigilant too, not to mention her expertise in controlling a person’s psychological reaction.
She was casually luring Lil Five into giving away more information.
The woman was evidently interested to see if this place belonged to Lil Five. She wished to know how involved he was in this place.
Perhaps, she might have already reached an assumption.
Her meticulous way of thinking was terrifying.
“Lil Five is not her opponent,” Tang Ling reminded Ye Lanchen.
The latter turned to face his wife, rose to his feet, and headed toward her immediately.
