Chapter 309: Xu From the Capital
Chapter 309: Xu From the Capital
"This Of course!" Chu Munan immediately signaled one of the attendants to approach him and give some instructions. "So, that painting. I heard that the one who created that only makes one or two paintings a year. Every one of them cost more than two million! But no one actually knew the face of this person. Even the Xu Family doesn't give this person's name. I have never really met an artist that is this private." He said while pouring some tea for Lyca.
"Suspicious," Lyca mumbled.
"I'm sorry, what did you say?"
"I said, I'm hungry," she answered.
"Oh then how about I go to the kitchen and personally get the food for you?"
"That" For a few seconds, Lyca hesitated. "I hope it's alright with you. I am really hungry." While her words sounded sincere, Chu Munan still felt a little aggrieved. After all, he was expecting her to say no. However, he still smiled before leaving and going to the kitchen.
Chu Munan wouldn't really say that he liked Lyca. However, he cannot deny the fact that she is very smart and direct. She was the exact opposite of the woman that he met before. Moreover, she was very capable and isn't some damsel that needed saving all the time. In fact, Chu Munan chose to change his attitude base on Lyca's behavior. He had always been cunning and smarter than most people. However, he didn't want to show that attitude in front of her.
Lyca's personality was clearly very dominant. Therefore, he chose to act like a sheep in front of her. After a few minutes, Chu Munan came back with the servants. All of them were bringing a different type of food. Almost instantly, a smile appeared on Lyca's face. She immediately started eating, without even asking Chu Munan if he wanted to eat too.
"Oh, I almost forgot" Lyca said. She lifted her face and saw a smile on Chu Munan's face. "The Cabin I want it to be as remote as possible. I don't want other people disturbing my honeymoon." She said. Even though the old patriarch and Chu Munan already told her that the one who created the painting was also in the extreme north, Lyca still wanted to go to the most remote place in the mountains.
This was because her priority was the herbs.
"If you can arrange a remote place near a remote village, then that would be good."
"You You really wanted to spend your honeymoon in that place? I mean It's cold and there might be "
"Brother Munan!" His words were interrupted when a woman followed by two servants wearing blue uniforms walk towards them. "Brother Munan, I just came back from the Capital. I bought you your favorite cakes." The woman was wearing a white dress with a red cape. She stared at Chu Munan with her almond eyes. "Brother, how are you feeling these days? It's so cold? Why are you staying here now? Let me accompany you inside and "
"Rong'er I have a guest."
"Oh? This is "
"This is Miss Huang from Kong City. My grandfather invited her."
"Old Man Chu? Why did he invite her? Kong City is pretty far from here. I didn't even know that you " The woman widened her eyes. "Didn't you go to the Kong City a few days ago? Did you "
"Rong'er why don't you go and talk to grandfather first? Miss Huang is eating, and it's not very polite to talk about these things now."
"Brother Munan "Rong'er pouted. "You didn't even introduce me to her."
"Oh, right? How could I forget? Miss Huang this is my childhood friend. Xu Rong'er."
"Xu?" Lyca lifted an eyebrow. "From the Capital?" It seems that the world is getting smaller and smaller.
"Ah, I grew up here, but my Uncle is indeed President Xu."
"Hmmm I see." Lyca said before she started eating again.
"Brother Munan, this woman is so "
"Rong'er, I am currently talking about business. So please visit grandfather first. I will talk to you later."
"You promise?"
"Of course."
"Alright then. I will see you later." Xu Rong'er gave him a sweet smile before leaving with her servants.
"Rong'er had a heart disease." Chu Munan uttered while watching the woman's back. "Her parents sent her in the province to protect her from the clutches of the people in the capital."
Lyca nodded as she wondered why this man was explaining things to her. Of course, she focused her attention on the food. "If you want to talk to her. You can just leave me alone." She wanted to tell him that she can finish everything without him, but forced herself to stop those words from leaving her mouth. After all, the man was sick. What if he collapses from anger?
"No. That's not what I meant. I was just telling you that she is a weak girl."
"Eh? Are you afraid I will hurt her?"
"No. I am sure you won't hurt someone innocent." In fact, he is scared that Xu Rong'er would blindly offend Lyca. After all, that woman grew up spoiled. She is very willful and arrogant. How could Xu Rong'er stand Lyca's nonchalant ways? "If one day, she would do something to offend you. Just forgive her. She is just "
"Does she have a problem with her brain?"
"Ah? No. No. She had heart problems."
"Then how old is she?"
"She should be twenty-one. Why?"
"She is old enough, and she doesn't have some problems in her head. If she offends me why should I forgive her?" She asked. That request totally doesn't make any sense at all.
"" He wanted to rebut but Lyca's words actually make sense. In the end, he sighed before shaking his head. He could only hope that Xu Rong'er will not offend Lyca while she was still here. "Miss Lyca, Rong'er grew up weak. If she get's angry, she would faint and would have fever for days. That is the only reason why I asked you to forgive her. Please be lenient. Also, she is not my lover. I am really concerned about her father's relationship with my own Chu Family. Please don't misunderstand my intention." he blurted out. Chu Munan was afraid that Lyca would misunderstand his concern for Xu Rong'er.
