Chapter 87: Tan Jiao 12 (2)
Ah Yu.
She called him Ah Yu.
The lady that came over had great posture, a lovable smile, and an air of fragrance around her. In everyones eyes, she was no doubt a beautiful young lady. However, our dull faces met her warm greeting. Wu Yu merely raised his eyes to look at her. There was no excitement in his eyes nor did he say anything. Wu Miao even rolled her eyes and made it very obvious that she was irritated.
I finished my piece of salmon in one go.
To be honest, Chen Ruying definitely fitted the image of a lovable lady. She was beautiful, with her upturned eyes and natural smile that added sweetness to her appearance. She had a good looking body and fair skin. Even a very hard-to-pull-off white dress looked extremely elegant on her. There was no doubt that most men would fall for her for sure.
With that thought, I suddenly took a glance at Wu Yu and saw that he had only given her a nod of acknowledgment before continuing with his food again.
I felt somewhat pleased, but not very pleased. But what else could I do? Might as well not look at her anymore and continue eating.
Unexpectedly, she made the first move to ask about me, Ah Yu, whos this elder sister?
Elder sister?! Im only 24! Im only three years older than you and still two years younger than Wu Yu!
Wu Miao suddenly interjected and said, Oh. Shes my brothers new girlfriend. He brought her on holiday this time. After saying that, Wu Miao even poked me with her elbow, signaling for me to play along.
Girl, whats the use of giving me a hint? The reluctant young master is sitting right there.
I stayed quiet for a moment. Unexpectedly, Wu Yu also remained silent, continuing to eat his food, remaining nonchalant about Wu Miaos comment. To others, silence meant acknowledgment.
Almost immediately, I felt Chen Ruyings innocent but sorrowful gaze linger on Wu Yu before finally coming to me.
I raised my face and calmly met her gaze.
Is that so Ah Yu, why havent I heard you mention this Cheng Ruying said weakly.
I felt somewhat guilty now. I never knew Wu Yu could put up such a cold front in front of other ladies. He definitely was capable of being heartless.
Wheres your mother? Wu Yu asked.
Oh As if she was exiting a daze, Chen Ruying said, My mother she she feels somewhat sea sick and is resting in the room.
Ill go see her after dinner.
Joy briefly appeared in Chen Ruyings eyes. Okay, Ill wait for you then. Lets go back together. Wu Yu responded with only a yes. During the entire conversation, Chen Ruying did not look at me anymore. Even after she got her food, she did not come to sit with us. Instead, she sat at a table that we could see. Sitting there alone, quietly eating her food. Honestly, she had a somewhat elegant appearance like that.
When she finally left, Wu Miao immediately said, Brother. Why are you going to her room? Didnt I just help you get rid of that trouble by using my goddesss name? After she said that, she gave me a you-know-what-Im-talking-about look.
I lowered my face and kept silent.
Professor Chens wife is unwell. I have to pay her a visit at least. Not only that, but I also have some important things to ask her. Then he turned his gaze to me and said, Tan Jiao, youre coming with us.
Wu Miaos eyes immediately sparkled. Wooo
I said casually, Why should I go with you two? Id rather stay with Wu Miao.
Right as I said that, I felt an almost threatening gaze on me. Wu Miao looked at him then at me.
Tan Jiao, now is not the time for tantrums.
Those words, those gentle words, suddenly made me speechless. It was as though an invisible fence had come around me. It wrapped around my heart that had previously felt betrayed by love. I raised my head towards him and saw his calm and stable gaze. At the same time, I saw Wu Miaos silly smile like she was watching some sort of drama...
