“What are you getting at?” He Yufei frowned and looked at Chu Wuyou in confusion although he did stop moving.
Chu Wuyou’s lips curled and widened into a pleasant and innocent grin. “Oh, I forgot to remind you, Young Master He. I accidentally left some superglue on the barstool earlier, and it was a little too much. There were two boxes, very unfortunate. And you happened to sit on this barstool, so, you know…”
Accidentally? And two boxes? Nobody would ever believe it.
He Yufei’s expression shifted immediately. He tried to move but to no avail.
His pants were completely stuck to the barstool. It felt as if his skin was glued to the barstool too.
“Chu… Wu… You…” He Yufei’s face darkened and he glared at Chu Wuyou furiously.
“Shh…” Chu Wuyou hushed. “I suggest you keep your voice down, Young Master He. I’m afraid if people notice you…”
Chu Wuyou stopped speaking. It was obvious as to what she was hinting at.
It would be embarrassing if people saw him like that.
“Third Elder Brother, what’s going on? Does First Young Lady Chu still like He Yufei? They seem to be enjoying their conversation.” Fifth Young Master Shen was puzzled as he looked on from above.
From where he and Ye Lanchen were standing, they could neither see He Yufei’s face nor overhear his and Chu Wuyou’s conversation. They merely saw Chu Wuyou’s grin when she turned her head. Her smile was too obvious and too cheerful. Nobody could miss it.
A grim expression was fixed on Ye Lanchen’s face. It was not hard to detect the dangerous aura under his scowl if one observed closely.
Fifth Young Master Shen exhaled silently and kept quiet.
Things did not look good!
He Yufei gritted his teeth in anger, but he was stunned by Chu Wuyou’s grin. “Chu Wuyou, you did this on purpose.”
“Mm, I did.” Chu Wuyou came clean. She always admitted her actions and did so in an open and carefree manner.
“You??” He was not prepared for her direct answer. He felt like he was going to be sick when he saw how laid back she was. He suddenly thought of a question. “How did you know I’ll come here and sit on this barstool?”
Chu Wuyou glanced at him slightly. “Aren’t you sitting on it now?”
He Yufei was speechless and stared at her in dismay. She apparently did so on purpose to lure him here…
No, no, she actually wanted to lure Chu Ninger here. However, He Yufei ended up as the scapegoat.
He suddenly recalled how Chu Wuyou wanted to let him drink the glass of spiked Coke. She was probably testing if he knew anything.
He thought that if he was not aware of anything, she would have alerted him and prevented him from sitting down on the barstool. However, he knew everything.
It was his fault and he deserved it.
He was aware of her recovery, but little did he expect that she would become so smart. She had undoubtedly seen through all of Chu Ninger’s plans.
“Big Brother He, you’re here. Jia Hao has arrived. Do you want to meet him?” Chu Ninger’s voice was heard and interrupted He Yufei’s train of thoughts.
Chu Ninger came over to eavesdrop on Chu Wuyou and He Yufei. Of course, she did not want him to be too close to her sister.
“No, I’ll stay here for a while.” He Yufei could neither move nor explain his situation. He was anxious, yet he could not do anything.
“Big Brother He?” Chu Ninger was taken aback. She did not expect He Yufei to decline. He never rejected any of her requests for the past five years.
Moreover, he shared a special relationship with Jia Hao.
Why did he reject her? Why did he choose to stay here?
Chu Wuyou looked at Chu Ninger before turning to He Yufei and said, “Young Master He, you don’t have to stay here on purpose to accompany me.”
She emphasized those two words, “on purpose”.
Upstairs, someone narrowed his eyes as the coldness in his gaze intensified.
Chu Wuyou predicted her sister’s arrival. However, she did not imagine that the latter would be so impatient as to come over so quickly.
Since Chu Ninger had arrived, it was time for the show to begin.
