“You guys go first. I’ll be there later.”
Lu Ran brushed Mu Yan’s hand away and strode towards the bridge.
Lin Jiang stared thoughtfully at Lu Ran’s back view. After some thought, he looked at Yu Yang and Mu Yan and said, “Brother Lu left in such a hurry. I’m afraid something urgent happened. Why don’t we follow him to take a look?”
“Okay!” Mu Yan nodded.
Yu Yang smiled and nodded.
“Let’s go.”
Lin Jiang took the lead and strode towards the bridge.
After crossing the bridge and walking for a while, Lu Sheng happened to see the words ‘Thousand Leaf Inn’.
She smiled and was about to enter when Lu Ran’s voice sounded from behind.
“Ah Sheng.”
Lu Sheng turned her head and saw Lu Ran walking over. He looked at her suspiciously and asked, “What are you doing here?”
“Brother, I heard that this inn is the best inn in Huang Yang Town. I came to town to settle some matters today and thought to come over to take a look.”
She spoke calmly and did not seem guilty at all.
When Lu Ran heard that, he was 80% convinced.
Lu Sheng had only come to town more frequently recently. She had not been here before, so it was not surprising that she was curious.
“Why is Brother here?”
Lu Sheng asked him.
“I’m going to the lake with a few friends. I happened to see you, so I came over to take a look.”
“You two know each other?”
Lin Jiang looked at the duo in surprise.
Lu Sheng looked up. When she saw him, she frowned.
Mu Yan glanced at Lu Sheng and his eyes lit up.
He nudged Lu Ran lightly and winked at him. “Brother Lu, you tricked us into believing you had something to attend to. In the end, you secretly came to meet the beauty.”
“What nonsense are you saying?”
Lu Ran rolled his eyes at him and introduced her to Yu Yang and Lin Jiang. “This is my sister, Lu Sheng.”
“Ah!” Mu Yan suddenly understood. “So, this is the beautiful sister!”
“Hello, Miss Lu!” Yu Yang greeted her warmly.
Lu Sheng nodded at him and automatically ignored Lin Jiang.
Lin Jiang was about to speak when a person suddenly walked out of the door.
His slightly opened mouth suddenly closed and he stared at the person in surprise.
Lu Sheng seemed to have noticed something. She turned back and saw Lu Zhou walking out of the inn.
Lu Sheng blinked at him and signaled him not to come over.
However, Lin Jiang had already walked forward and said respectfully to Lu Zhou, “Lin Jiang greets the Third Prince!”
When Lin Jiang spoke, the expressions of Lu Ran, Yu Yang and Mu Yan changed drastically.
The trio walked forward nervously and bowed, not daring to speak.
Lu Sheng heaved a sigh of relief. However, after Lu Zhou nodded at them, he asked her, “Why didn’t you go in since you are here?”
Lu Ran and the rest changed their expressions when they heard his words.
Lu Sheng pretended not to hear and retreated to the side. She lowered her head and did not speak.
Lu Zhou frowned and continued staring at her. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Lu Sheng was speechless.
Didn’t her master see the look she gave him?
How could she, a farm girl, get to know the Third Prince?
Was her master trying to anger her to death or scare her brother to death?
“Third Prince knows Miss Lu?”
Lin Jiang gathered his courage and asked.
“No!”
Without waiting for Lu Zhou to speak, Lu Sheng spoke first.
However, her reaction made her look guilty.
“Yes, I don’t know her.”
Only then did Lu Zhou realize that the girl had winked at him not to ask him to come over, but to ask him to leave.
Hence, he lied through his teeth. “This lady looks like an old friend of mine, so I was mistaken.”
