Today, Chu Zimu spent a fortune on a birthday gift for You Mingyue. By the looks of it, he’s ready to spoil her to the skies.
You Mingyue blushed slightly, and with a shy deanor, she glanced at Chu Zimu and bashfully said, "It’s still early; we’ve only just confird our relationship, no rush to get married."
"That’s true. We can all see Mr. Chu’s affection for you."
On the other side, Chu Zimu was chatting with You Jiaoyang.
"Jiaoyang, I heard that the City Lord Mansion is going to hold a recruitnt exam soon. The best perforr will have the chance to work in the City Lord Mansion’s secretariat and beco a close aide to the Lord City Lord."
Chu Zimu patted You Jiaoyang’s arm with a smile and said, "Ming Yue told you signed up as well. I hope your exam goes well, and you can beco the Lord City Lord’s right-hand man!"
You Jiaoyang smiled slightly and modestly said, "At the City Lord Mansion’s secretariat, there are already seven or eight secretaries. Even if I do get the chance to join the City Lord Mansion and help the Lord City Lord, it will still require a lot of practice to beco his right-hand man."
Chu Zimu had a lot of confidence in You Jiaoyang and said, "Regardless, if you can work at the City Lord Mansion, it’s sothing to be proud of."
Those who get to work for the Alliance Governnt are generally of clear background and exceptional talent.
Getting to work at the City Lord Mansion is even more so a mark of pride.
The Chu family, being in business, had a tainted legacy from their forefathers.
Though a few family mbers succeeded in joining the Alliance Governnt, their background kept them from gaining important positions.
If You Jiaoyang could indeed make a na for himself at the City Lord Mansion, he could support the Chu family in the future.
This is also why Mrs. Chu reluctantly acknowledged You Mingyue.
Simply put, Mrs. Chu doesn’t really think much of You Mingyue; what she really values is You Jiaoyang’s potential.
"Well, I’ll take your word for it." You Jiaoyang noticed his sister continuously making eyes at Chu Zimu from afar. He smiled helplessly and mused, "Girls grow up and can’t be kept around. My sister truly is devoted to you."
"I am genuinely committed to her as well." Chu Zimu apologized with a smile to You Jiaoyang, "I’ll go to Ming Yue now. Let’s et again when we have ti."
"Okay."
Chu Zimu accompanied You Mingyue in singing the birthday song and cutting the cake. You Mingyue, concerned about her weight, only had a few bites before putting down the cake.
She leaned close to Chu Zimu’s ear and said, "Brother Chu, wait for a mont while I go upstairs to change, then we can head out."
Chu Zimu’s heart fluttered, "Okay."
You Mingyue returned to her room, opened her wardrobe, and carefully selected a set of seductive lingerie. After thinking it over, she went into the bathroom for a quick shower, shaved her legs, and applied so foundation cream.
Gazing at the mirror, pleased with her radiant complexion, You Mingyue finally smiled with satisfaction.
She put on the sexy lingerie, then chose an elegant long-sleeved dress to wear over it.
Knock, knock—
Hearing the knock on the door, You Mingyue assud it was You Jingqiu and sat down at her vanity, casually responding, "Mom, co in."
"It’s ."
Hearing her brother’s voice, You Mingyue was montarily taken aback.
Since moving into the Xu family ho over two years ago, this was the first ti You Jiaoyang had co to her room.
You Mingyue turned to look at the door, "Co in."
You Jiaoyang opened the door and walked in.
Noticing that You Mingyue had showered, with a cherry blossom fragrance in the air, he said, "You took a shower?"
Seeing You Mingyue holding a powder puff, seemingly about to redo her makeup, You Jiaoyang’s expression shifted slightly, and he frowned, "Are you going out for the night?"
Even though You Jiaoyang was her own brother, being asked like this made You Mingyue feel a bit awkward.
Applying foundation, she softly explained, "Brother Chu asked out. I probably won’t be back tonight."
"You Mingyue, do you know what it ans when a man asks you to spend the night?" They were all adults now; he didn’t believe You Mingyue was unaware.
You Mingyue was silent for a mont, then suddenly put down the puff and, with a displeased expression, stared at You Jiaoyang, demanding, "Are you going to lecture ? You Jiaoyang, you’ve been dating girls non-stop since high school. Do you dare say you’re very innocent?"
"None of us are pure kids here, so no need to lecture ."
You Jiaoyang wanted to give his sister so advice, but seeing her so confrontational, he realized that nothing he said would change You Mingyue’s decision.
"Do you really love him?"
