Chapter 63: Can She Beat Him Up?

“To the Chu Residence,” Ye Lanchen announced as he threw a sideways glance at Chu Wuyou before turning to leave.
Chu Wuyou widened her eyes in shock. To the Chu Residence? Did he mean to head over to the Chu Residence right now to ask Grandpa for her hand in marriage?!
The reason she had agreed to this banquet was because she was confident nothing would go wrong under her supervision. Up until now, everything was going well within her control.
It was out of her expectation that a man like him would appear out of the blue like that.
She was extremely confident about persuading her Grandpa to reject any other man that came forward with a marriage proposal, but this man?
Ye family’s existence in Jin City was almost legendary because their properties and industries reached every corner of the country, not to mention overseas.
The most crucial point was that Third Young Master Ye himself was a first-grade rare gem.
Every girl in Jin City dreamed of being married to Third Young Master Ye!
She was not certain if she could convince her Grandpa otherwise if he truly was to request for her hand.
Perhaps her Grandpa would not even grant her a chance to decline the proposal.
Chu Wuyou found herself struggling to come up with convincing ways that could change his mind. Eventually, she decided that being open and sincere was the only chance she had left to persuade him to come round. “I’m truly sorry, Mr. Ye. I don’t have plans to get married in the near future.”
In her opinion, an arrogant man like him should understand better and admit defeat if she made her intentions crystal-clear.
“OK.” Ye Lanchen stopped midway and turned to her while nodding comprehensively. It seemed that this matter could come to an end through civilized discussion.
Chu Wuyou was astonished by how reasonable he was. Very well.
“What matters is that I do.” Upon seeing her expression relaxed, Ye Lanchen smiled mischievously and confessed.
“…”
Chu Wuyou’s lips trembled in rage. Did he not learn to f*cking speak coherently? Even a person with asthma was able to take lesser breaths in between a full sentence.
She was deeply suspicious that he did this on purpose.
“There are plenty of fishes in the sea, Mr. Ye. I’m certain there are numerous beautiful women in the Jin City that wish to marry you.” A smile was plastered on her face as she tried hard to maintain the air of a great person.
He could set his eyes on any other woman as long as it was not her.
“I don’t like women who are too pretty,” Ye Lanchen replied straightforwardly without hesitation. As if troubled by a profound thought, his gaze lingered on her face intentionally as he spoke.
“There are also plenty of them who are wise, elegant, and prescient.” Chu Wuyou persuaded herself to calm down. There was no need for her to get infuriated with an insignificant person.
She was certain she could convince him with some smooth talk.
“I don’t like women who are overly smart either.” His eyes remained on hers as the words rolled off his tongue naturally.
Slightly startled, Chu Wuyou managed to regain her composure and kept that grin glued on her face, although it was starting to look a little awkward and freaky.
To hell with him. Was he beating around the bush to indicate she was hideous and slow-witted? She could brush off the fact that he had called her names, but did he have to appear so smug as if he was certain his desire would come true?
Had she accidentally dug out his ancestral tomb or something?
Was he begging to be beaten up?
Could she give him a drubbing and then abandon him at the hill?
She decided that she could and she definitely should!
