Chapter 333: Who Was That?
Lu Sheng barbecued for the whole afternoon.
Shangguan Dian’s stomach was like a bottomless pit. He was not satisfied no matter how much he ate.
In the end, if Lu Zhou hadn’t stopped him, even roasting an elephant wouldn’t have been enough for him.
As the King of Hades still had something on, he left in the afternoon.
After Lu Jiang and Lu Xin returned, they returned to the room to accompany Lu Ran after the meal.
Outside the courtyard, Lu Sheng lit a few lanterns and hung them on a tree branch.
The courtyard was as bright as day.
The Demon King was discussing the past with Lu Zhou. Chu Sihan sat at the side and listened.
Lu Sheng hung up the lanterns and was about to sit down when there was a knock on the door.
She thought it was the Liang family, so she opened the door without thinking.
When she saw the person outside, she could not help but frown.
“Sheng Sheng, this is a pastry from a friend of mine. I’ve left two boxes for you.”
Duan Zhen carried two boxes of pastries and looked at her lovingly.
When he returned home for the new year, he heard from his sister-in-law that the Lu family had struck gold.
Not only did they earn a lot of money by opening a restaurant in town, but they also knew the new county magistrate.
After some thought, he felt that it was not a bad idea to marry Lu Sheng.
In the past, Lu Sheng liked him so much. She must still like him now.
She must have gotten someone to anger him because he broke off the engagement.
“Why are you here?”
Lu Sheng did not reach out to take the two boxes of pastries. Instead, she looked at him indifferently and asked.
“I came here today to tell you that I’m willing to marry you.”
He thought that Lu Sheng would be elated to hear this. After all, she used to like him so much.
Unexpectedly, Lu Sheng did not feel happy when she heard that. Instead, she frowned.
“It’s the new year. Can you not disgust me?”
Seriously, why did Duan Zhen choose such a festive occasion to disgust her?
Was he sincere?
“Sheng Sheng, who’s that?”
Chu Sihan walked over and stood behind Lu Sheng. He glanced at Duan Zhen calmly.
The Lu family’s courtyard was very bright. Hence, Duan Zhen could tell at a glance that this person was the ‘new lover’ whom Lu Sheng had introduced to him previously.
“It’s you!”
Duan Zhen looked at Lu Sheng, then at Chu Sihan. Anger immediately appeared on his face.
“Lu Sheng, as a girl, why didn’t you love yourself? It’s the new year, yet you brought an unfamiliar man home. You… You’re too disappointing!”
Lu Sheng was so angry that she laughed. “Scholar Duan, have you forgotten that I already have a fiancé?”
She said lightly, “If there’s nothing else, please leave.”
Duan Zhen was stunned by her words.
He suddenly remembered his mother’s words and his expression changed.
Previously, his mother told him that Lu Sheng and that Lord Chu were together.
However, he did not take these words to heart.
Who was Chu Sihan? Why would he like Lu Sheng?
However, even though this person in front of him did not say anything, just by standing there alone, his aura already suppressed his.
He looked at Lu Sheng, whom he had ignored in the past, again. She had unknowingly become someone he could not reach.
Lu Sheng was not weaker than this n.o.ble man even when she stood beside him.
He seemed to have missed out on this woman.
“I’ll leave now!”
He nodded at the duo with a pale face and left.
He had been blinded by benefits today and forgot about Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan.
Chu Sihan watched Duan Zhen leave expressionlessly. He turned his head and asked Lu Sheng, “Who’s that?”
