Chapter 105 Unexpected Visitor
Chu He pushed the door open and walked in. No matter who it was, he would know when they met.
"Is it Master Chu?"
When Chu He walked to the corridor, a soft voice was heard.
"Hmm, the voice is gentle. I guess the person is just like his voice..." Chu He pondered as he walked.
It won't take a while.
He walked to the backyard and looked up.
By the pond, a woman in her twenties, wearing a light blue silk dress, turned her head to look at him. She was tall and had delicate features. Her face exuded an alluring youthfulness, yet gave people a decisive and contradictory feeling.
Her skin, however, was not as fair and rosy as the other young ladies from official families. Instead, it had a dark texture.
In Blue Star's words, this is called a healthy skin color.
Chu He silently gave her a score in his heart. Among the women he knew, her appearance was tied with Du Qingdai for second place.
As for number one?
Naturally, it was left to the Ninth Princess.
If appearance is rated on a scale of 10, he thinks he can give this woman an 8.
Just, such a beauty.
What was the purpose of waiting for him in the backyard of his Chu family?
"I'm Chu He, and you are, girl?"
"Du family, Du Xueer, I wonder if you have heard of Xueer's name?" Du Xueer breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the person she had been waiting for for several days finally showed up.
"Du Xueer?" Chu He frowned when he heard this.
He remembered who it was, the girl from the Du family with whom he was engaged. He had originally thought of finding time in the next two days to go and cancel the engagement.
After all, they are destined to be from different worlds.
But he never expected that the other party would come to him first?
And judging from the situation, it will take more than one day?
Could it be that I, Chu He, will also face the same broken engagement as in the novel?
Chu He couldn't explain the feeling in his heart. The girl was really pretty and was exactly his type.
Unfortunately, if you don’t practice cultivation, after a hundred years, you will end up as a handful of bones.
Rather than being sad a hundred years later, why not start now?
This way, the pain will only last for a few years?!
Chu He secretly hypnotized himself in his heart.
"Chu...Mr. Chu?"
A blush appeared on Du Xueer's dark face.
Although she often traveled for business and came into contact with many men, the man in front of her was different. He was her future husband, the person she would be with day and night.
Being stared at by him motionlessly, she couldn't help but tremble slightly in her heart.
"Uh..." Chu He touched his head awkwardly, "Sorry, Miss Du, why are you here?"
"Come over here and sit and chat..."
After Chu He came to his senses, he realized that this was his home. No matter what the other party's intentions were, at this moment, a beautiful woman was talking to him with a smile. He couldn't say bad things to her, right?
Even if the other party wants to cancel the engagement, that will happen later.
After Chu He invited the other party to the pavilion, he went to the kitchen, boiled a pot of water with his true energy, then went into the study and took out his treasured spiritual tea.
This magical tea was a gift from the Ninth Princess and has the magical effect of calming the mind and refreshing the spirit.
The first few times, when Uncle Zhou came over.
Chu He was reluctant to take it out and drink with him.
If Zhou Baichuan knew about this, he would definitely jump up and scold him, saying that you are a typical ungrateful boy who forgets about his uncle once he has a woman.
In less than a moment, Chu He brewed a pot of spiritual tea, and a rich tea aroma wafted into the air.
Du Xueer was shocked when she heard it, and was slightly surprised. This tea is not simple!
She took just one puff, and all the fatigue she had felt for the day disappeared.
It seems that the man in front of him is not as simple as the servants had found out.
The prison warden of the Demon Refining Prison?
"Miss Du, please!"
Chu He poured Du Xueer a cup of spiritual tea.
He poured himself a cup as well, then leaned back in his chair, slowly savoring the aroma of the magical tea.
Du Xueer glanced at him lightly.
This "rude" posture shows that he is an amateur in tea tasting. Such a wonderful tea is wasted...
Then, she gently picked up the teacup, put it close to her nose, and smelled the faint tea fragrance. She felt as if she was in a spiritual field, and her whole body was indescribably comfortable.
She was sure that this was spiritual tea.
Du Xueer took a sip, and a rich tea aroma lingered between her lips, mellow and sweet.
Good tea, really good tea.
Even such a simple way of brewing tea does not affect its inner charm at all.
Du Xueer sighed softly, put down the teacup, looked at Chu He with her beautiful eyes, and said softly: "Mr. Chu, do you know why I am here?"
"What's your purpose?" Chu He put down his teacup and said casually, "Aren't you here to break off the engagement?"
"I agree with this..."
Before he finished speaking, Du Xueer interrupted:
"No!"
She shook her head gently and said, "Mr. Chu, you misunderstood. I came here to ask you to marry me."
"Tomorrow is the day!"
puff-
Chu He spat out the tea that he had just swallowed.
It happened to spray on Du Xueer's face.
"Forehead--"
He really didn't mean it...
"Here, wipe it with this."
Chu He exerted his best physical skills. Du Xueer only felt something flash past her eyes, and then she saw Chu He handing her a white silk scarf.
"Martial arts cultivation?" Du Xueer muttered to herself, took the silk scarf and wiped the water droplets off her face.
Fortunately, she only sprayed a little tea on her face, and she usually goes out without makeup, so her makeup wouldn't be ruined, so she was fine.
"Hehe..." After a moment of silence, Chu He looked at Du Xueer and said seriously, "Ms. Du, do you think we are suitable for each other? We just met today?!"
Chu He paused, looking at Du Xueer rather embarrassedly, and continued: "I don't even know what you like or what kind of person you are. On the contrary, you treat me the same way. This engagement..."
"Mr. Chu..." Du Xue'er looked at the man opposite her seriously. His handsome face was the image of her ideal husband. "You may not know me very well, but I am very familiar with you. You were timid and weak when you were young, but now you are strong and healthy and often go back to Zuifanglou..."
The more Chu He listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Could it be that this woman had been paying attention to him?
"Also, do you want to break our engagement?"
Du Xueer's tone was a little helpless, and she couldn't explain what she felt in her heart.
Her father asked her to take care of the family since she was young and to be trained to be a good wife and mother. He also told her that she had a fiancé and that they would get married when they were twenty years old.
pity…
Good times are not long.
Three years ago, her father had a stroke.
The person was rescued, but could only lie in bed. The family business lost her father's support, and her brothers did not have the courage or ability.
In the end, she was the only one who could step forward and take over.
However, she was a little late after all. Even though she was ruthless in reforming and eliminating some of the corrupt officials, the family's cloth shop business became worse and worse.
Now, they are being harassed by an unknown opponent, causing them to lose cloth worth 100,000 gold.
Just when they were desperate and anxious, the other party came to force her to marry him? And he only gave her a week.
The question is, how can she agree?
She, Du Xueer, has a fiancé.
If she had not held on to her inner beliefs, she, a young girl, would not have come directly to her fiancé's house to propose marriage.
In the end, the other party actually wanted to cancel the engagement???
This was undoubtedly another stab in her heart.
Chu He looked at Du Xueer.
She didn't look fake. Surprise flashed in her bright eyes. Her eye sockets were slightly moist and her body was shaking slightly.
The result was not what he expected.
He originally thought that the other party was here to cancel the engagement, but he didn't expect that the other party would bomb right away and actually ask him to marry him?
Could it be that the Du family or she herself is in trouble?
Do you need to get married to avoid it?
Chu He secretly guessed that he had seen too many such dramas in novels in his previous life.
"Miss Xue'er, can you tell me? There's no rush to get married. Give us some time." Chu He sighed softly as he looked at the woman in front of him who was pretending to be tough but was actually holding on.
He couldn't stand the weakness of women in front of him.
As for getting married?
Just like he said, let's talk about it after the problem is resolved.
