Lord Chu’s Wife is Wild - Chapter 124

Chapter 124: This Is Your Idol

“Miss Shangguan, please!”

Nanny Kong spoke politely to Shangguan Linger.

“Auntie, don’t you like Ling Er the most? Help me!”

Shangguan Linger chased after Mdm Chu reluctantly. She tugged her sleeve and begged with teary eyes.

She had liked Chu Sihan since she was young and had decided to marry him.

She could tell that Mdm Chu really liked her.

For years, she had been waiting. She waited for Chu Sihan to come back after his success and marry her.

However, she waited for the State Minister’s words in the end.

Despite that, Mdm Chu still liked her a lot. She would invite her over from time to time and even say ambiguous words.

She even said that she wanted her to learn how to read the accounts properly so that she could help her in the future.

Wasn’t that telling her that she would become Chu Sihan’s wife?

“Ling Er!”

Mdm Chu stopped in her tracks and said helplessly, “I watched you grow up. I did want you to marry Han Er but…”

She paused and sighed faintly before continuing, “Han Er has no feelings towards you.”

Shangguan Linger’s expression froze for a moment, as if her sore spot had been poked at.

Chu Sihan did not like to talk to her since he was young. It had always been her wishful thinking to pester him and call him brother.

When she grew up, Chu Sihan either avoided her or ignored her. She even thought that as long as she curried favor with Mdm Chu, Chu Sihan would definitely marry her.

However, it seemed like everything was different from what she had imagined.

She slowly let go of Mdm Chu’s hand. She lowered her head and stood at the same spot for a while before silently turning to leave.

However, no one saw the flash of indignation in her eyes.

How many marriages had she rejected in order to wait for Chu Sihan?

It was impossible for her to give up just like that!

Staring at her back, Mdm Chu shook her head and sighed softly. “How can one’s wishful thinking win against the mutual love between the two?”

She had lost to Mdm Jiang that year. If Mdm Jiang had nothing back then, Chu Hongzhong’s heart might never have returned to her.

In the study room.

“Lord, I’ve brought her here.”

So fast?

Upon hearing Chu Yun’s words, Chu Sihan raised his eyebrow in surprise.

He put down the bamboo scroll and tidied his clothes before saying lightly, “Come in.”

The door opened with a creak and Chu Yun walked in.

Behind him followed the smiling Lu Sheng and the confused He Lai.

“You’re here.”

Chu Sihan subconsciously looked at Lu Sheng, and his voice became much gentler.

Lu Sheng took two steps forward and sat on the desk. She crossed her arms over her chest and looked up at Chu Sihan with a smile. “Lord, long time no see. Did you miss me?”

Chu Sihan stared at her for a while before averting his gaze. He said expressionlessly, “I called you here today to ask you for a favor.”

Seeing his reddened ears, Lu Sheng pursed her lips and chuckled.

“Did you want me to check on the fire at the inn?”

“Yes.”

He answered faintly and realized that a strong-looking man was standing beside Lu Sheng.

“This is…”

He Lai could not help but shiver when he felt a chill run down his spine.

“Lu Sheng, this is?”

The handsome god-like man in front of him did not seem to be looking at him kindly.

“Oh, I forgot to introduce you!” Lu Sheng smiled at He Lai and said, “Uncle, this is your idol.”

“Idol?” He Lai frowned. “What’s that?”
