At the thought of what Shen Miao said just now that customers here were either rich or noble, Jing Chuchu suddenly had a thought.
The young man seemed to have noticed her and looked over. When he saw Jing Chuchu clearly, his eyes lit up.
Jing Chuchu was wearing a jade-like white dress. She had snow-white skin and a beautiful face. Most importantly, she had a gentle and timid expression. When she glanced at the young man, she quickly lowered her head in shock. Most of the women in the capital were straightforward and open, but such a delicate and timid girl from the south was extremely rare. The young man’s eyes were fixed on her, and the more fervent his gaze was, the deeper Jing Chuchu lowered her head.
Time passed slowly. The dishes were all served, but Shen Miao still did not appear. Jing Chuchu was the only one sitting at the table. She didn’t want to eat alone, so she kept on sipping on the tea and looked at a loss.
Finally, the rich young man at the neighboring table couldn’t resist it anymore. Under everyone’s gazes, he walked up to Jing Chuchu and sat down. He asked softly, “Miss, are you waiting for someone?”
Jing Chuchu was shocked. She looked up and blushed when she saw him. She lowered her head and whispered, “I-I’m waiting for my cousin.”
The young man asked with concern, “Why is your cousin not showing up? How can she leave you alone here?”
Jing Chuchu blushed and shook her head, as if she wanted to say something but didn’t dare to. In the eyes of others, she looked like she was being bullied. The young master made up his mind and said, “How about this? Since I have nothing to do, why don’t I wait here with you?”
“No, no need to trouble yourself.” Jing Chuchu quickly said, “Young Master, why…”
“It’s fine.” The man smiled and said, “If anyone with ill intentions comes over while you’re sitting here alone, I’m afraid it will be much more troublesome. It’s better for me to stay here with you.”
His voice and the smile on his face were gentle, making him look quite approachable. Jing Chuchu lowered her head and said, “Thank you then, Young Master.”
“Miss, you don’t look like you are from here,” he said.
“I-I’m from Suzhou,” Jing Chuchu said. The two of them chatted like that. The young man was very good at making conversations. With just a few words, he made Jing Chuchu smile. Although she still looked a little shy, her attitude towards that man gradually became less guarded. The young man told her some interesting stories. He seemed to have been to many places and was quite rich. As a result, Jing Chuchu smiled even more joyfully.
In another elegant private room in the Pleasant Restaurant, through the carved window, Jing Chuchu’s table could be seen clearly from afar. Bai Lu said, “It seems like she’s opening herself to someone she met for the first time.” Her words were filled with sarcasm.
“He’s not an ordinary man,” Shen Miao said indifferently with her chin rested on her hand.
“Miss, do you know that young man?” Shuang Jiang asked curiously. The guards guarding the room were also a little surprised. Shen Miao left Jing Chuchu alone and went to another room, as if she deliberately wanted Jing Chuchu to talk to that man. From what Shen Miao said, she seemed to know that man.
Shen Miao smiled but did not say anything.
“I mean,” On the other side, in a room in the Pleasure Restaurant, Ji Yushu’s jaws were about to drop. “Don’t tell me she knows Sun Cainan.”
“Although Sun Cainan is Sun Tianzheng’s only son, he doesn’t enter officialdom. Other than squandering his father’s money, he’s just a wastrel who knows nothing. He doesn’t even go to Guangwen Hall. How did Shen Miao know him?” Gao Yang glanced at him.
