Chapter 978: Master Sheng Fights Off Potential Lovers By Himself (2)
Before Lucy got the opportunity to say anything else, Zhai Yunsheng had already closed all possible options for her.
When Mr. Hall heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
Ahhh, Young Master Zhai's fiancee was a little slow when it came to romance. As a result, Zhai Yunsheng had to fight off potential lovers by himself.
He did this to protect his fiancee.
Did his fiancee recognize his efforts?
Lucy: "Young Master Zhai, you're mistaken. I was just afraid that Miss Jian Yiling was bored. That's why I wanted to have a chat with her."
"Why would my fiancee be bored when she's sitting beside me? Are you trying to imply some strange message?"
"No, I didn't mean that."
Lucy knew that Zhai Yunsheng had a bad temper. However, she had never seen him defend someone like this.
She hadn't even said anything harmful to Jian Yiling. In fact, she didn't even ask any unreasonable questions. She was merely trying to have a chat with Jian Yiling in a friendly manner.
"It's best if you didn't mean that," Zhai Yunsheng replied. "My fiancee is not going to feel bored when she's sitting beside me."
"Yep," Jian Yiling agreed.
Even though she received such a reply, Lucy merely smiled. Then, she said: "Once upon a time when I was solving mathematical problems with Young Master Zhai, you seemed quite chill about everything. I never expected you to act like this when it came to Miss Jian Yiling. Do you remember that summer four years ago? In order to solve that problem, we stayed up together for three entire nights. I still remember you telling me that I was your…"
"I don't remember," Zhai Yunsheng interrupted.
"But you've always had a good memory."
"Just because I have a good memory, it doesn't mean that I have to remember everything. I remember the important things and forget the unimportant things. That's how you make full use of your brain."
Naturally, Zhai Yunsheng remembered this. However, back then, he assumed the other person was a man. Furthermore, they were merely ordinary friends.
However, he knew that Lucy was trying to make up stories. Therefore, he was not interested in what Lucy was saying.
Then, Zhai Yunsheng turned around to speak to Jian Yiling: "I still remember the first time you cooked for me. It was braised pork, steamed fish, and bean sprouts."
However, back then, Jian Yiling was cooking for Jian Yunnao. Zhai Yunsheng merely got lucky.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Hall couldn't help but laugh. His friend was very good at turning the situation around.
Similarly, Lucy could only use a smile to conceal her embarrassment. After all, there was nothing else that she could do.

Halfway through the ball, Qin Chuan appeared.
Qin Chuan's appearance took everyone by surprise.
After all, Qin Hongzhi had died not long ago. Therefore, they assumed that Qin Chuan would not be attending any social events for the time being.
Hence, no one expected him to come to the ball tonight.
It seemed inappropriate for him to act this way. However, no one dared to say this to his face.
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but wonder what was going to happen next.
After all, Zhai Yunsheng and Qin Chuan had appeared together!
In addition, Jian Yiling was also present! She was said to be the cause of conflict.
Although everyone continued to dance and chat away, their attention was focused on Qin Chuan and Zhai Yunsheng.
After Qin Chuan entered the venue, he took a look around. Then, he walked in Zhai Yunsheng's direction.
Everyone became nervous when they saw this.
