Chapter 2603: Truly an Exquisite Youth

The young man was dressed in a blue chang pao with wide sleeves and donned both a white jade pendant around his waist and an ornamental hairpin atop his head.

His bearing was dignified while his appearance was strikingly handsome – truly an exquisite youth.

It was evident that he hailed from a prestigious background.

After placing her own silver into the charity box, Ning Shu silently walked away.

Haha, what terrible fate. This man was none other than the little marquis who had married the original host, Li Yu.

As expected of a h.o.m.o, he was neither quite masculine nor quite feminine in appearance.

Ning Shu held no prejudice against h.o.m.os.e.xuals; after all, it was an innate characteristic.

However, she felt disgusted by the fact that he had deceived someone into marriage.

The original host’s wish was to not marry Li Yu so Ning Shu wanted nothing to do with him.

Leaving the main hall behind, Ning Shu sought out Mistress Yun. She spotted Mistress Yun engaged in conversation with a n.o.blewoman of evident high status.

Mistress Yun displayed utmost humility as if attempting to curry favor.

At home, she often acted like she ruled over all; however, outside its confines, she remained nothing more than a concubine.

How could a n.o.ble madam lower herself to converse with a concubine?

Just observing their interaction made Ning Shu feel embarra.s.sed.

So why bother approaching them?

It was basically asking to be embarra.s.sed.

She stood in the corner and observed these ladies, young and old, chatting together in groups of two or three.

They made a beautiful scene reminiscent of birds perched on swaying branches. Each woman possessed her unique charm.

Such beauty ah.

“Ahem…” A slight cough resonated beside Ning Shu as she turned around to find Li Yu walking towards her.

As soon as he drew near, Ning Shu caught whiffs of his pleasant but not overpowering fragrance. It was quite nice actually.

“Young lady,” Li Yu began speaking with flowing ease. “Are you alone here?”

What young lady? He was the young lady, alright?

And was she alone here? Could he see any other people here? Or was he blind?

Ning Shu’s lips twitched. She lowered her head and didn’t say anything.

“Why did you walk away when you saw me?” Li Yu inquired, his eyes fixed intently on Ning Shu’s, reflecting tiny specks of light.

Ning Shu: →_→

What was he attempting to achieve with this flirtatious behavior? Was he trying to initiate a lesbian relations.h.i.+p?

“I have poor eyesight and didn’t notice your presence, sir,” Ning Shu replied.

In this lifetime, she would never marry Li Yu. If he still clung to the idea of using her as a s.h.i.+eld, she wouldn’t hesitate to give him a piece of her mind.

Li Yu touched his nose and let out a light chuckle.

Ning Shu could sense that Li Yu was irritated. However, he persisted in trying to charm her with his charisma.

Did Li Yu deliberately target the original host because he saw that she had a timid personality? Being a non-legitimate daughter meant that even if his secret was exposed later on, Li Yu knew that the original host would likely endure it all without uttering a word.

“Sir, I’m taking my leave now. Please excuse me,” Ning Shu stated.

“Wa… wait.” Before Li Yu could say anything further, Ning Shu swiftly turned around and left.

Watching Ning Shu leave made Li Yu furrow his brows in frustration.

This woman’s personality…

Ning Shu walked over to Mistress Yun. She’d like to see if Li Yu dared to come over here to try to flirt with her.

Mistress Yun made repeated efforts to introduce her daughter Lu Mingxuan to anyone she encountered.

Lu Mingxuan was very beautiful and charming, so she was very likable.

However, Mistress Yun couldn’t get anyone to acknowledge her. The truth was that Mistress Yun’s ident.i.ty was too off-putting.

By the end of it all, Lu Mingxuan’s expression soured. She noticed Lu Junning engaged in lively conversations with others within the crowd, they were all chatting and laughing together happily.
