Lu Yan looked at her and continued somewhat maliciously, “I wonder what relation does the lady have with Su Hexiao? Are you friends? Or are you his disciple, or maybe…you are actually Su Hexiao!”
He said these words not so much as to question Qi Qingyao as it was for it to be heard by others.
Given these words were heavily weighted, no one in the surrounding circle dared respond after he said them, no one even dared take a breath in that atmosphere. If this girl admitted to it, then they would all have befriended the ethereal miraculous physician Su Hexiao today.
Qi Qingyao did not comment on it, of course. She neither denied it nor confirmed it. She just calmly put her cheek into her hand and asked a question airily.
“Based on Master Lu’s words, could it be that you are also suffering from some kind of illness and require my help for treatment?”
Lu Yan, “??”
Lu Yan did not respond so Qi Qingyao waved her hand.. “First, don’t say anything more and let me take a guess.”
Lu Yan’s heart shuddered. What nonsense is this woman going to spout?
The others also seemed to be sitting back in anticipation of the woman as they watched her calmly during this pressing situation.
Qi Qingyao rubbed her chin calmly like an old man who was over half a hundred years old. After putting on the unfathomable pretense for a while, she said slowly, “Looking at Master Lu, your complexion is ruddy, even your hair looks shimmery. I can tell that your regular diet and nutrition are properly maintained. However, I heard that Master Lu is a strange person and never touches women, and that he also has a serious fixation with cleanliness.” She only made these estimations based on what she had heard from Heir Pei.
Lu Yan’s expression when she said this was extremely ugly.
Everyone was behaving as if they were watching a show.
Heir Pei blinked, looking a little as if he wanted to laugh but did not dare to.
After Qi Qingyao was sure that the change in Lu Yan’s expression was because of what she said, she knew that her first wave of attacks had worked. She then continued and said something coldly, “Could it be that Master Lu is still a virgin?”
“…”
Lu Yan’s expression instantly sank.
‘No way, was I actually right? But isn’t that impossible? This is the richest man in Northern Liang we are talking about.’ Qi Qingyao excitement was unconcealed. “If that’s the case, does it mean that Master Lu may be suffering in that department! Are you sick but too embarrassed to go see a doctor? Oh dear, how embarrassing is that!”
“You!” Lu Yan felt as if this was the first time in his life that he had been driven to outrage by someone else.
The spectators around them were getting more and more numerous.
All of them held back their laughter as they glanced at Master Lu and then at the little lady.
They knew a bit about Lu Yan’s personal situation. Indeed, he stayed away from women, but there were certain things no one dared point out to provoke him purposefully even if they had been in contact with the master of the Lu family.
To provoke the young master of the Sunluo Chambers of Commerce for no reason, was that not insane?
Right now, someone had plucked some courage and said these things about Lu Yan in front of so many people.
It was over—something big was sure to transpire shortly.
Pei Fengtang also felt as if something big was about to happen. However, he had no intention of stopping it at all. He even wanted to continue to watch the excitement unfold…
“If you weren’t a virgin and have been with a woman before, perhaps you ended up being unable to do it anymore and had come to hate women. That means that…something has happened to you, in that aspect. Is that it?” Qi Qingyao said in a faux cute voice, not showing the slightest bit of seriousness as she cradled both her cheeks in her hands.
“Ahem, cough cough!” Pei Fengtang wanted to maintain his seriousness, but he did not manage to hold himself back as he was about to laugh. He choked the laugh down and turned to the side anxiously, covering his face with his sleeves as he pretended to cough. Then, he resumed his serious expression.
“There’s no point in thinking on the same wavelength as a woman like you.” Lu Yan did not expect her to dare say things like this, disrespecting and compromising his dignity in public.
