<h4>Chapter 76: Separation (1)</h4>
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Although Chu Sihan appeared to be the magistrate of Lin Jiang Mansion, he actually had another identity.
Ordinarydies from prestigious families were indeed not suitable for him. After all, his life was filled with the glint and sh of cold steel.
To him, a wife who only knew how to recite and paint was his weakness.
On the other hand, Lu Sheng was the ideal wife who could help him and prevent him from worrying about anything.
Furthermore, Shi Yi and Yun Ting could tell that Chu Sihan treated Lu Sheng differently.
Lu Sheng ran into her room and held her chest, heaving heavily.
For the first time in years, she could not control her heart rate.
She poured herself a cup of cold tea and finished it in one go. Then, she copsed onto the chair.
“Have I fallen in love with Chu Sihan?”
She frowned and mumbled. Then, she shook her head and patted her face. “I must be overthinking!”
Moreover, Chu Sihan might not necessarily like her. Perhaps, he was just joking earlier.
Wouldn’t others feel that she was guilty if she escaped?
She was too careless. She should have been more thick-skinned.
Knock, knock.
She had been sitting on the chair for about fifteen minutes when a sudden knocking sound came from the door.
She immediately sat up straight and asked warily, “Who’s that?”
“Miss Lu, the Lord wants me to send you some food.”
It was Nanny Yao. She had been taking care of her for the past two days.
Lu Sheng heaved a sigh of relief. “Come in.”
The door opened with a creak and Nanny Yao walked in, carrying a takeout box.
“Lord said that you like sweet and sour fish, so I asked the kitchen to prepare this dish. Lord also instructed me to get the kitchen to cook this lotus root chicken soup. If you think it’s not enough, feel free to tell me.”
Sweet and sour fish and lotus root chicken soup were the dishes that she had eaten the most when she and Chu Sihan were at Tian Xiang Restaurant.
She did not expect him to be so thoughtful as to remember them.
It shouldn’t be that he was really interested in her, right?
Lu Sheng immediately rejected this idea.
They had only known each other for less than a month, and did not know each other well enough. How could their hearts be moved so easily?
Perhaps, it was because his memory was like hers, better than others.
“It’s enough. Thank the Lord for me!”
Nanny Yao smiled kindly. “Go ahead and eat. I’ll clean upter.”
The news of Lu Sheng’s and Chu Sihan’s rtionship had already spread to the entire magistrate court yesterday.
Hence, even though everyone addressed her as Miss Lu on the surface, they respectfully referred to her as Madam in private.
Of course, Lu Sheng was unaware of this.
After dinner, she walked around the courtyard.
After that, she took a shower and went back to her room to lie down.
That night, Chu Sihan did not look for her again. Lu Sheng heaved a sigh of relief, but she also felt a strange feeling in her heart.
She could not quite describe her feelings, but she felt a mix of disappointment and relief.
The next day.
Lu Sheng woke up early.
She had just finished her breakfast when Chu Yun asked the coachman to drive the horse carriage into the courtyard. He even thoughtfully helped Lu Sheng move everything onto the carriage.
When she arrived, Lu Sheng only brought a bag. When she returned, the carriage was full.
Chu Yun looked at her and said, “The Lord is already waiting at the entrance. Miss Lu, see if there’s anything else you missed.”
“No!”
When she heard that Chu Sihan was already waiting for her at the entrance, Lu Sheng suddenly felt guilty.
It did not seem right for her to escape yesterday.
Seeing how she dawdled for quite a while before entering the carriage, Chu Yun became a bit suspicious.
Last night, when the Lord and the two young masters returned from drinking, they seemed to be in a bad mood. He did not know if it was because of Miss Lu.
However, his Lord had always been moody. He could neither read his emotions nor dare to.
