C19 Eavesdropping

Xu Chencan's fingers, which were pinching his phone, turned white from anger.

Yes, you're right. Without the Xu Family in exchange, I would never have gotten Chu Lingyu to agree to make a deal with me. Therefore, dear Father, I will not break off all ties with you.

In the afternoon, Chu Lingyu returned home.

When he entered, he first looked around the living room, only to see Aunt Ling coming towards him.

"What about her?" Chu Lingyu asked casually.

Aunt Ling pursed her lips into a smile and said, "Madam has discovered the hot spring in the back garden. She's been soaking there for some time. I think she'll be back soon."

"Yes." Chu Lingyu did not say anything, but did not enter the living room. She turned around and walked towards the back garden.

Auntie Ling didn't call him, but smiled and closed the door. She returned to the kitchen and told the nanny who was cooking not to rush to serve the dishes.

Chu Lingyu walked into the back garden, passing through layers upon layers of plants and flowers, and arrived at the hot spring.

In the distance, he saw a delicate little head poking out of the hot spring water. Her long hair was tied up, and steam was rising from the surface of the water, enveloping her figure. The atmosphere was very enchanting.

Chu Lingyu took light steps and slowly walked over.

As he got closer, he heard her humming a song.

The voice was very pleasant to hear, but … His singing was a little off tune.

No wonder she never sang when she was at school.

He really didn't know that such a beautiful person could sing off-key.

Chu Lingyu listened for a while, but still could not help laughing softly.

Xu Chencan was startled by this laughter. He hurriedly lowered his body underwater, trying to cover his naked body with the rocks on the shore. "Who's there?" she asked nervously.

Chu Lingyu did not say anything, but waited to see how she would deal with it.

"Aunt Ling, is that you?" Xu Chencan asked uneasily.

Still no answer, but a low cough came from behind a tree on the shore. It was a man's voice.

Xu Chencan became even more nervous. She wanted to reach for the towel by the shore, but she was afraid that she would be seen naked.

"You … "No matter who you are, get out of here quickly!" Xu Chencan mustered up the courage to scold him angrily, "I'm Chu Lingyu's fiancee. If he finds out that you're spying on me, he'll definitely not let you off!"

Behind the tree, Chu Lingyu silently curled her lips.

He cleared his throat and walked out. Under Xu Chencan's astonished gaze, he calmly said, "I'm here to call you for food. Hurry up and come out to the dining hall."

With that, he turned and walked away.

When he was about to open the door, he added, "In the Wang family, you can rest assured that no one will dare to disrespect you."

Then he left and closed the door.

Xu Chencan was dumbfounded.

So, the coughing sound that came from behind the tree just now was also made by Chu Lingyu?

He even purposely used a rough voice so that she couldn't recognize him?

He was clearly teasing her!

Chu Lingyu … How could it be like this?

He usually had a cold expression, but he was actually so childish as to play such tricks.

I just scared her to death! He was truly hateful …

I wonder if he saw her naked or not …

Xu Chencan's face was flushed red as she slowly got up and wrapped a towel around herself. She quickly took a shower, changed her clothes, and headed back to the main house.

Upon entering, he saw Chu Lingyu sitting on the sofa, reading a book.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he looked over at her, his eyes calm and unperturbed. However, Xu Chencan still had the feeling that he had seen through everything.

She blushed, not daring to look him in the eye as she silently walked towards the dining room.

She didn't notice the smile in Chu Lingyu's eyes as she watched her back.

He had originally thought that he would be able to finish the meal quietly.

Halfway through eating, Chu Lingyu opened her mouth, "Have you brought the food?"

Xu Chencan stared blankly for a moment before realizing what he was asking, "Yes, Mo Lan brought them all over for me."

"You brought your account book over as well?" Chu Lingyu continued to ask.

"Right." Although he was somewhat puzzled, Xu Chencan still answered truthfully.

"Alright." Chu Lingyu did not look up at her, "Tomorrow, come with me to get your marriage certificate."

"Wh …" "What?" Xu Chencan was shocked.

"What? You want to go back on your word?" Chu Lingyu finally raised her head and glanced at her.

"No …" His peach blossom eyes were too beautiful. Xu Chencan avoided his gaze, "But …" Isn't this too fast? "

"You went to work yesterday, so you should have seen your grandfather's new ward." Chu Lingyu reminded her, "I've already fulfilled my promise, now, it's your turn."

He was indeed a shrewd merchant. He would never suffer a loss even if he had to pay for it.

How could Aunt Ling say he liked her for someone like that?

Just you wait, she said, Chu Lingyu's favorite things are money and power!

As he silently cursed in his heart, Xu Chencan smiled faintly, "Alright, then we'll go and get the certificate tomorrow."

Chu Lingyu nodded in satisfaction, and no longer spoke.

However, Xu Chencan fell into a gloomy mood.

The next morning, when Xu Chencan went downstairs, he found that Chu Lingyu was already sitting neatly in the living room, reading a newspaper and drinking coffee.

His face was ruddy, and his eyes were full of spirit. It was obvious that he was having a good rest, and seemed to be in a good mood.

By marrying her, he would be closer to the goal of devouring half of the Xu family's assets. Of course, he would be in a good mood.

Xu Chencan silently cursed.

After dinner, she took the household book, put on her coat and prepared to leave with Chu Lingyu.

Chu Lingyu stood at the side and watched her for a while, then suddenly said, "Wait."

"What's wrong?" Xu Chencan was stunned.

"Aunt Ling." Chu Lingyu turned to Aunt Ling, "Help her clean up." He pointed at Xu Chencan with his chin.

Aunt Ling saw that Xu Chencan was wearing only a ponytail and a plain face, so she smiled and said, "Alright, ChenCan, come with me."

Xu Chencan obediently followed Aunt Ling into the cloakroom.

In the Wang family's cloakroom, Xu Chencan's aunt Ling had taken her to walk around the place the day she first arrived.

The cloakroom was about the size of an ordinary family's living room. It had a glass cabinet for hanging clothes, a lamp in the cabinet, a shelf for shoes, a shelf for bags, a shelf for hats, and many cabinets where Chu's tie and watch were kept.

When Xu Chencan had arrived that day, he had been shocked by the scene before him.

Only, although Chu Lingyu's cloakroom was large, there weren't many clothing items inside.

As a result, most of the space in the large cloakroom had been wasted.

But now, when Xu Chencan followed Aunt Ling into the cloakroom, she was greatly shocked.

When did it become filled with so many ladies' things?

Ying Ji's clothes were a closet with one wall, and... There was also an exquisite dressing table in the room.

There were a lot of cosmetics on the dresser, all new and unopened.

"Come, Chencan, come over here and take a seat." Aunt Ling patted the circular sofa in the middle of the cloakroom and beckoned her over.

Xu Chencan walked over in a daze and sat down. "Aunt Ling, what's going on?"

Aunt Ling opened the wardrobe and picked out some clothes for her. She said gently, "Sir ordered us to prepare these for you."

"Prepared for me?" Xu Chencan was still confused.

She's only been here a few days … This... She didn't even know when the clothes had been moved in.

"Yes, sir is very concerned about you." Aunt Ling pulled out a nude dress. "Here, try it on. The locker room is over there."
