Chapter 67: Sister, Sit Here
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the general’s residence, Wu Muyu had dressed up meticulously. She wore a light yellow dress and her elegant makeup gave off a refreshing feeling.
“How is it? Does it look good?”
“Of course, Miss looks good in anything!”
Wu Muyu revealed a satisfied smile before walking out of the room.
Right at this moment, a carriage arrived outside the Wu Residence. Zhao Jin was driving the carriage while Su Wen was seated inside.
The carriage had just stopped when Wu Lie returned on horseback.
There were even corpses of the wild beasts still hanging on the horses. Clearly, he had gone out of the city to hunt.
Seeing the carriage, Wu Lie frowned. This carriage looked really familiar to him….
Right at this moment, Su Wen alighted from the carriage and spoke to Zhao Jin with a smile, “Go tell the door that we’re here to pick up Miss Wu!”
“Hold up!”
Wu Lie shouted and walked towards Su Wen. “What did you say just now? You’re here to pick up my sister?”
Su Wen raised his head and looked at him with a smile. “That’s right, what’s the problem? Didn’t Muyu tell you? We’re going to attend Xie Dajia’s performance today!”
Wu Lie said angrily, “No, my sister will not go with you. Leave quickly!”
Su Wen touched his chin and smiled. “I’m afraid what you said doesn’t count. If you ask Muyu to come out and tell me personally, I’ll leave.”
“You! You wait!”
Wu Lie rushed in.
Coincidentally, he bumped into Wu Muyu, who was about to leave. He went forward and angrily exclaimed, “Why are you going out with Su Wen? Do you know who he is?!”
Wu Muyu looked at her brother and smiled. “Who is he? The son of the prime minister? The deputy commander of East City? Or Yan Luoying’s fiancé?”
At the mention of Yan Luoying, Wu Lie became even angrier. “You knew that I like Yan Luoying, yet you are still going out with him? What are you trying to do?”
Wu Muyu smiled and said, “Brother, whether you like Yan Luoying or not, what does that have to do with me going out with Su Wen? Brother Su Wen doesn’t like Yan Luoying, and besides, can’t you tell that he has something for your sister?”
“Eh?” Wu Lie felt that something was amiss, but he could not put his finger on it.
Wu Muyu continued, “Look, you like Yan Luoying, and I like Su Wen, right? If I get together with Su Wen, then won’t his engagement with Yan Luoying be cancelled? Brother, I’m doing this for you!”
Wu Lie frowned. “Is that so?”
After thinking for a moment, he got convinced. The anger on his face disappeared and he smiled. “Little sister, be careful and come back early.”
“Got it, brother!”
Wu Muyu ran out of the Wu residence as she shouted back.
Wu Lie stroked his chin and chuckled.
“Yan Luoying, you can’t escape. Once Su Wen’s engagement with you is annulled, my father will propose to His Majesty. When that time comes, you will still be mine!”
“But no matter how you look at that Su Wen, he’s not pleasing to the eye! Being his brother-in-law is also annoying!”
While he was letting his imagination run wild, Wu Muyu got into Su Wen’s carriage.
Her hand held onto a food container, which she pushed out in front of herself.
“Brother Su, this is the Jiangnan pastry that I specially learned from the chef. Try it and see if it suits your taste!”
Wu Muyu said as she opened the food box.
The pastries inside were exquisite and exuded a faint fragrance.
Su Wen picked up a piece and tasted it. The flavor was indeed delicious.
The two of them chatted as they ate. Soon, they arrived at the Eternal Music Pavilion, which was also the place Xie Dajia was holding her performance.
This was the capital city’s exclusive performing area.
However, those who could come here were usually famous actors. To put it bluntly, they had to have a certain status before they could play in the pavilion.
The Second Prince was already waiting at the entrance. Beside him was a woman with an aloof expression. It was the Fifth Princess, Zhao Xuanxuan.
She was also the most well-known among the princesses.
Seeing Su Wen and Wu Muyu, the few of them greeted one another. The Second Prince smiled as he whispered, “Sister Muyu, Brother Su has put in a lot of effort in order for you to come and listen to Xie Dajia’s performance. That cousin of mine, Zhao Rui, insisted on coming. He only gave up this opportunity because of Brother Su.”
Wu Muyu stole a glance at Su Wen and smiled. “I owe Brother Su and His Highness a favor this time. I’ll treat you guys to a meal at my house another day.”
“Good!” The second prince immediately agreed.
As they talked, they moved into the pavilion.
Su Wen looked around and realized that the tables were laid out in a way which allowed four people to sit. On every table was a fruit platter along with tea prepared.
As more people arrived and sat down, the entire hall was soon filled with the chatting of people.
After all, the performance had not started yet, but everyone was already looking forward to it.
At this moment, Su Wen suddenly saw a familiar figure two tables away!
Yan Luoying!?
Why was she here?
Su Wen muttered to himself. At this moment, Wu Muyu, who had been paying attention to Su Wen, also noticed Yan Luoying.
Yan Luoying was originally already known for her beauty. Coupled with that unique heroic spirit, Wu Muyu immediately guessed her identity despite not having seen her before.
At this moment, Yan Luoying also saw Su Wen. She tilted her head as she saw the two extremely beautiful ladies beside Su Wen.
A weird sense of discomfort surfaced in the heart.
Thus, she immediately stood up and walked towards Su Wen’s table.
“I didn’t expect to see you here.” This time, Yan Luoying did not call address him as Lord Su Wen.
Su Wen smiled. “Yes, what a coincidence!”
The second prince knew Yan Luoying, thus he smiled in greeting as well, “Since we know each other, why don’t we sit together?”
“Sure!” To Su Wen’s surprise, Yan Luoying agreed.
She went to the side and grabbed a chair to join their table.
However, just as she moved over, Wu Muyu obediently shifted over to Su Wen’s side and pointed to her other side with a smile, “Sister, sit here. The view over here is much better!”
What a masterful plan. In one move, she took the spot beside Su Wen, and even ‘forced’ Yan Luoying to sit beside her instead of Su Wen.
Yan Luoying stared at Wu Muyu for a while, before she smiled. “Thank you, sister.”
After saying that, she sat down. At this moment, Wu Muyu placed a handful of melon seeds in front of Su Wen and said with a smile, “Brother Su, I’ve just peeled some melon seeds for you.”
“Eh?”
The Second Prince and the Fifth Princess immediately trained their gazes at Yan Luoying at the same time.
Yan Luoying narrowed her eyes as she exuded a faint murderous aura.
“May I know who you are?”
Wu Muyu revealed a sweet smile. “Hello, Sister. My name is Wu Muyu. My brother is Wu Lie, and our father is Wu Kunhu. My brother likes you very much, Sister Yan! I like you very much too.”
Su Wen picked up the melon seeds in front of him and stuffed them into his mouth like popcorn as he looked at Wu Muyu’s performance with a smile.
Hearing Wu Lie’s name being mentioned, Yan Luoying’s face turned even darker.
When Wu Muyu mentioned that Wu Lie liked her, she was a little angry, but she didn’t know how to flare up.
At that moment, Wu Muyu asked with concern, “Sister Yan, you don’t look well.. Are you tired? Why don’t you go back and rest first? Your health is the most important. Brother Su, don’t you think so?”
