Shen Wan glanced at him calmly, her eyebrows slightly raised. “Tell Quan
Banting?”
“Hmph! Now you’re scared?”
But the woman’s face didn’t show the panic and nervousness he had hoped to see. “Tell him what? About my revealing attire or my presence in the night scene?”
“Tch—You do have some self-awareness. My Sixth Brother hates it when people touch his things, and that includes women. If he finds out that you came to Night Paris dressed like this in the middle of the night, think about the consequences. Don’t blame me for not warning you.”
“Well, 1 really don’t know what the consequences would be.”
“You!” Lushen gritted his teeth. “You really don’t understand the consequences until you experience it.”
Shen Wan stared at him as if he were a fool.
“You arrogant brat, if it weren’t for my Sixth Brother’s reputation, you’d still be an estranged illegitimate daughter from Ning City’s prominent families. Now that you’re associated with my Sixth Brother, please conduct yourself appropriately and avoid causing any problems for him.” Lushen was not joking; his tone was serious.
It was both a reminder and a warning.
Not long ago, he sent his people to investigate Shen Wan, so he knew exactly what had happened at the Mingda Anniversary Gala. Even now, Lushen found it hard to believe. His Sixth Brother, who stayed away from women, had willingly invited someone to dance?
Unfortunately, that person happened to be the recently recognized illegitimate daughter of the Shen family.
But what had happened couldn’t be changed. Shen Wan was already been labeled as someone belonging to the Sixth Lord and recently, Shen Zongming, that shameless old fox, hinted, intentionally or unintentionally, that Shen Wan had caught Quan Banting’s eye. He bragged that Huiteng and Mingda were about to have a close relationship through marriage.
That old man was speaking without reservation. Lushen felt embarrassed on behalf of that old man, but he couldn’t stop him. Not only did he boast extravagantly, but he did it with great finesse.
In any case, Shen Wan’s every move affected Quan Banting’s reputation, and Lushen couldn’t allow her to… ahem… cheat on his Sixth Brother.
“Seventh Lord, I’m afraid you’re mistaken. 1 don’t have the qualifications or the ability to bring trouble to Sixth Lord.”
With that, she stepped around him in her high heels and walked away briskly.
Lushen shouted loudly from behind, “Fine, you’re confident, you’re arrogant. I’m telling Sixth Brother right now. Let’s see how this ends!”
The woman continued walking, tossing out two words lightly —
“Whatever.”
Lushen was infuriated.
The night was calm, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.
Dongli Manor was nestled amidst lush greenery, and as the summer breeze rustled through, the leaves whispered, accompanied by the chorus of cicadas, adding a touch of restlessness to the otherwise tranquil night.
Chu Yujiang asked, “Seventh Lord, you’re back?”
“Yeah, where’s my Sixth Brother?”
“At the shooting range.”
“I need to find him…” He began to move towards the exit but was stopped in his tracks by the sudden appearance of Ling Yun, blocking his way.
“Sixth Lord ordered that no one should disturb him.”
Lushen, whose complexion was already far from pleasant, roared in a low voice, “I really do have an urgent matter!”
Ling Yun, with his mushroom-shaped head, pondered for a moment. “You can tell me, and I’ll relay the message, or you can wait for the lord to come up and tell him in person.”
Lushen immediately shook his head. “I can’t tell you.” It was a joke; if his subordinates found out about Shen Wan’s involvement with another man, it would be a blow to his Sixth Brother’s dignity.
Ling Yun escorted him back to the living room.
Lushen sat on the sofa, waiting and pondering whether to speak up or not.
Should he say it? He had no evidence to prove that Shen Wan was involved with another man, so his Sixth Brother might not believe him. But if he didn’t say anything, what if that woman really cheated on his Sixth Brother?
Just when he was wavering, Quan Banting returned.
His black sports tank top was soaked in sweat, revealing his strong and powerful arms. Sweat trickled down from his forehead to his temples, then gathered at his chin before dripping down. His cheeks were flushed from exercise, making his complexion even paler, yet he exuded a strong and masculine aura from head to toe..
