Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild Chapter 35 - The First One

Chapter 35 - The First One

Lu Sheng smiled.
She was born with an innately beautiful face. The smile charmed Duan Zhen even more, and the infatuation in his eyes intensified.
"Is that a yes?"
He delightedly asked after a long while.
"Make me a concubine?"
Lu Sheng looked up and stared at him with disdain. "There's a saying that goes 'A good man doesn't backtrack.' Doesn't Scholar Duan know that?"
Duan Zhen's smile immediately turned into a frown.
His heart hardened, and he sneered. "Do you think you can still find a good man after being dumped by two families?"
If not for her looks, why would he have let go of his ego to find her?
"So what?" Lu Sheng ignored his sentence. "And if I correctly remember, my father's the one who broke the engagement."
How dared he twist the facts? What does he want?
She humped and was about to enter her house when she saw a horse carriage slowly moving toward them. Then, it stopped beside her.
The coachman was Chu Yun.
The curtain was swiped open, and a slender figure alighted.
Lu Sheng stared at the handsome face. It was a face she would never be sick of. Seeing him, the edge of her lips curled up.
"Young Master Chu, why—"
"So you have another man. That's why you rejected me."
Duan Zhen interrupted her.
Chu Sihan calmly eyed Duan Zhen.
Lu Sheng threw her hoe to Chu Yun. Then, ignoring others' judgment, she grabbed Chu Sihan's wrist and smiled at Duan Zhen. "Yes, he's my new love."
Chu Sihan was shocked at first, but what followed was a smile that appeared on his thin lips. Then, he stared at her without blinking.
No matter how thick-skinned Lu Sheng was, she was unable to stand his intense gaze.
Duan Zhen was upset, but Chu Sihan's authority stole his guts to stay any further.
He gritted his teeth and forced out the words "Don't regret it" before leaving.
That man is obviously not an ordinary man. Why would such a man marry a country girl as his wife?
Since she's going to be a concubine anyway, why can she not choose me?
Does she not like me?
Duan Zhen was immensely unhappy.
"How long is Lady Lu going to hold my wrist?"
A sarcastic voice rang beside her ears.
Lu Sheng hurriedly let go of his hand, and her face burned.
Even though she was an audacious person, this was the first time she had held a man's wrist in both her lives.
"The weather's quite hot, right?"
She used her hand to fan her face, laughing as she tried to distract them from the topic.
Chu Yun returned the hoe to her and said, "Lady Lu, aren't you going to invite us in?"
This lady has guts. She dared to use Lord as her 'romantic partner.'
After hearing his words, Lu Sheng quickly gestured the two men in. "Hurry in."
"Ah Jiang, bring some stools for the guests," Lu Sheng shouted when she entered.
Lu Jiang, who was weeding the grass by the corner of the wall, obediently brought two stools.
Chu Sihan took a look, then picked the higher stool and sat on it. Chu Yun stood behind him.
Lu Sheng squinted at Chu Sihan and smiled. "Young Master Chu, take some rest first. I'll hurry here after I've cleaned up."
Chu Sihan looked at her and lightly nodded.
Lu Jiang let Lu Xin sit at his side, then poured some cold water for the two men.
"Elder Brothers, drink some water!"
"Good boy!"
Chu Yun received the bowl and patted his head.
Then, he put the water aside and started scanning his surroundings.
The courtyard of the house was rather big, and the house was a typical mud thatched hut. It was a little worn-down.
This made Chu Yun, who was used to living in a brick house, worry for the Lu family as they faced the possibility of the house collapsing.
Lu Sheng was done washing up after thirty minutes.
Her hair was still wet, and some hair strands stuck on her clean fair face.
She had beautiful eyes, which seemed to have lives of their own. When she smiled, her lips curved upward like a crescent moon, as if it were covered with a layer of gentle light. It would draw one in.
Chu Sihan stared at her face. Even though his expression was calm, his heart had long lost its rhythm and was erratically beating.
He was not one to get attracted so easily, and he had seen numerous beauties. However…
She was the first girl who had caught his eye!
