Chapter 48: You Can Try

Due to the distance and lighting, the freckles on Chu Wuyou’s face seemed lighter and less noticeable.
For a moment, everybody in the hall quietened down. Most of the men were floored by her appearance.
It was true that men were visual creatures.
“What the f*ck?! I never knew First Young Lady Chu had such a great figure! How did I miss that?” Fifth Young Master Shen, who was looking on from the third floor, was so surprised by what he saw that he almost blew a whistle.
On the contrary, Ye Lanchen narrowed his eyes. The coldness in his gaze emanated danger and threat.
Who is this woman trying to seduce by dressing like that?
“Who would have thought? First Young Lady Chu has amazing assets! Are they real, though? Look at those boobs…”
“I’m certain they’re all real.” A playboy affirmed on Chu Wuyou’s behalf.
“Forget whether her boobs are real or not. Just look at her skin! It’s as white and pristine as snow. Touching it must feel good.”
“With that gown accentuating First Young Lady Chu’s assets, her body is giving me dirty thoughts…”
Although these people spoke softly, they happened to be below the area where Ye Lanchen was standing. Thus, their comments could be heard by Ye Lanchen.
At that moment, Ye Lanchen’s expression grew even darker.
“What’s wrong, Third Elder Brother? Why do I feel a murderous aura from you?” Fifth Young Master Shen realized something was amiss. He sucked in a deep breath nervously when he made eye contact with Ye Lanchen. “Third Elder Brother, do you still suspect First Young Lady Chu to be the same woman from five years ago?”
In fact, Fifth Young Master Shen knew that Third Elder Brother would not be present here if he did not suspect anything.
“Looks like First Young Lady Chu has indeed recovered. Her choice of dress is excellent! It totally shows off her assets. Look at the men’s gaze, they can’t wait to get in her pants. Honestly, her great body can cover up for her ugly face, especially from a man’s point of view. Furthermore, Elder Chu has announced that he wants to hand over the Chu namesake to Chu Wuyou. Therefore, tonight’s matchmaking banquet will definitely be exciting. Apparently, choosing the perfect husband will be a piece of cake for First Young Lady Chu.”
Fifth Young Master Shen said so on purpose. The event was not a big deal for him. He was just here for the show. He also probed by saying, “Right, I just remembered. I was also invited. Maybe I should go downstairs and join in the fun?”
“Do you think you’ll succeed?” Ye Lanchen looked at Chu Wuyou. His lips twitched slightly. There was a hidden meaning in his remark.
Fifth Young Master Shen was also aware that Third Elder Brother was merely suspicious of Chu Wuyou, but nothing was certain yet. Before finding out the truth, Ye Lanchen would never allow other men to lust after her.
In other words, this matchmaking banquet would not have a successful outcome. Yet, Fifth Young Master Shen sensed a hidden meaning in Third Elder Brother’s words.
“I feel that I can give it a shot,” Fifth Young Master Shen nevertheless added daringly. He was curious about Third Elder Brother’s feelings towards Chu Wuyou.
“Mm, you can try,” Ye Lanchen glanced at him lazily as he replied nonchalantly. However, Fifth Young Master Shen shuddered.
Judging by Third Elder Brother’s reaction, Fifth Young Master Shen was worried that the former would do something appalling at today’s matchmaking banquet!
