Chapter 1255: 159 Lonely Decade

Cheng Haoxuan was there to challenge Lin Yuan on behalf of his master.

"Okay, Boss Lin really does have some backbone!" Cheng Haoxuan sat askew in the chair, smiling cunningly, "It seems you still remember what this young master said back at the Fuman Building."

Lin Yuan blinked and exchanged a glance with Xia Zheng.

Xia Zheng casually peeled an orange for Lin Yuan and handed it over, saying indifferently, "This kid was a chatterbox that day, who remembers what he said."

Lin Yuan took the orange, squeezed a segment into her mouth, and nodded in agreement.

Cheng Haoxuan’s mouth twitched as he looked at the two, singing in tune and completely ignoring him, wishing he could go over and use tweezers to pry their eyelids open.

"I told you to come to the Capital city to challenge my master! Have you forgotten? You didn’t really forget, did you? Oh, then what are you doing in the Capital city, if not to find me?"

Xia Zheng pursed his lips, his gaze almost murderous, "Wishful thinking! Yuanyuan came to the Capital city with me!"

It was indeed because Xia Zheng had come.

Cheng Haoxuan raised an eyebrow, his inner gossip suddenly acting up, hurriedly moving to Lin Yuan’s side trying to squeeze into her chair, but unfortunately, someone’s glance was too fierce, so he resignedly crouched on the ground.

"Look, I’m telling you, this Second Young Master Xia is the dream lover of every secluded girl in the Capital city, following him, you won’t reap any benefits! Instead, it’s better to follow me. I promise you, you won’t be at a loss. Ah, I accept only one wife, oh no, that’s too few, two wives, I only take in two concubines, how about it?"

Waving his fingers in front of Lin Yuan’s legs, Cheng Haoxuan continued, "And hey, I won’t ask for any dowry from you, just teach me all your peerless culinary skills, and I promise, I’ll offer a generous dowry, lots of money, stores, estates, lands, whatever you want! How about that?"

How about that? Not good at all!

Xia Zheng’s orange was already squeezed to remnants in his hand, his eyes glaring fiercely at the sneering kid in front, almost wanting to tear his grin that stretched to his ears in half!

Before he could react, Lin Yuan’s warm hand pressed his.

Lin Yuan, from above, showed Cheng Haoxuan the gentlest and most radiant smile of her life, her voice unusually soft, "Oh? How about you give me your mother’s Red Smoke Pavilion then?"

Perhaps enchanted by Lin Yuan’s voice, Cheng Haoxuan almost nodded in agreement, but a chilly glance from Xia Zheng, who was smiling unsmilingly, finally brought him back to his senses.

"No way, no way! We can’t let my mother know about our deal, or else I’ll surely be kicked out of the house!"

"Oh!" Lin Yuan dragged out her tone, feigning sudden realization, "So your mother won’t allow you to marry me! Since that’s the case, why are we even talking about dowries, huh, liar!"

"Yes, a liar!" Xia Zheng agreed wholeheartedly, hastily nodding, Lin Yuan wouldn’t easily show such a gentle smile except towards him. Whenever she smiled like that to others, it meant that they were in trouble.

Sure enough, her words alone had exposed the true nature of Cheng Haoxuan.

Lin Yuan casually flipped through the Challenge Letter Cheng Haoxuan placed in front of her, then threw it back at his feet, scoffing, "This Challenge Letter is also written by you, isn’t it? Has your master not really sent you to challenge me? Perhaps, does your master even know of my existence, Lin Yuan?"

Xia Zheng chipped in very cooperatively, "Whether there’s even a master, who knows, this little liar hasn’t said a single truth!"

Embarrassed and ashamed, Cheng Haoxuan indeed had not been sent with a Challenge Letter, and as Lin Yuan said, his master didn’t even know of her existence.

"I do have a master! Who says I don’t!"

Seeing this, Xia Zheng deliberately looked up and bellowed, turning to Lin Yuan, "It turns out this kid wasn’t lying, he does have a master."

"Hmm." Lin Yuan nodded, "He’s in such a hurry, it seems this is the one thing he wasn’t lying about, the rest, well, haha."

The rest, definitely were lies.

Cheng Haoxuan awkwardly touched his nose, his handsome face flushing with a suspicious red.

"Alright, since it’s not a Challenge Letter from your master, I have no reason to deal with you. Young Master Cheng, take care, no need to see you out!"
