Chapter 379: Very Funny?
Knock, knock.
“Xiao Sheng, are you asleep?”
He Qin’s anxious voice came from outside.
The duo on the couch froze.
Chu Sihan frowned. “Why is Uncle here?”
“How would I know?”
Lu Sheng shrugged and pushed Chu Sihan away. She stood up and tidied her clothes.
After taking two steps out of the door, she retreated and whispered to Chu Sihan, “Why don’t… you go back first?”
Chu Sihan smiled lightly. “I don’t think it’s necessary.”
He was already here. How could he leave so easily?
“Then, you’ll hide?”
After all, this was her room. Although she was engaged to Chu Sihan, it was still inappropriate.
“Don’t worry, they can’t see me.”
Chu Sihan stood up and sat down at the coffee table.
Lu Sheng nodded and hurried over to open the door for He Lai and the rest.
When she saw the three people outside, Lu Sheng raised her eyebrow.
“Brother, Uncles, why are you here?”
Could something have happened that she was unaware of?
He Lai stuck his head in and observed the room. When he saw that no one was around, he lowered his voice and said, “I think a thief entered the mansion.”
“A thief?”
Lu Sheng did not react immediately and asked hurriedly, “Where’s the thief?”
“I don’t know!”
Lu Ran spoke in a deep voice, “We saw him coming towards your courtyard, so we chased after him to ask around.”
“In the direction of my courtyard?”
Lu Sheng blinked and suddenly pursed her lips to suppress her laughter.
She roughly knew who that ‘thief’ was.
“Yes!”
He Lai said, “We saw it with our own eyes. That thief came in this direction.”
Lu Sheng coughed lightly and covered her mouth. “But I didn’t see him. Maybe he was just passing by?”
“That’s true.”
He Qin said, “There are rich families nearby. Even if that thief wanted to steal, he wouldn’t have chosen us.”
The Lu Mansion was decorated very simply. The most valuable items were probably the few beds in the room.
“It’s already late, and the weather is so cold. Brother, Uncles, go back and rest first.”
That ‘thief’ was still waiting in the room.
Lu Ran nodded. “Okay, rest early. Remember to lock the door and windows.”
After the three of them left, Lu Sheng burst into laughter.
“Very funny?”
Chu Sihan had unknowingly stood behind her and was looking at her with a faint smile.
Lu Sheng smiled and nodded. “It’s alright.”
For the rest of the time, Chu Sihan followed the rules. He only sat and talked to her without doing anything else.
As the two of them spoke, a chilly wind suddenly blew outside the door.
The locked door was blown open and black mist floated in.
Chu Sihan subconsciously stood in front of Lu Sheng. When the black mist transformed into a human, the duo’s expressions were a bit surprised.
“Uncle, why are you here?”
The person was Official Lu. After transforming into his human form, he bowed slightly to Chu Sihan before saying to Lu Sheng, “Uncle has some questions for you.”
He came here to find Lu Sheng, but did not expect Chu Sihan to be here too.
“I wonder why Official Lu is looking for Sheng Sheng?”
Chu Sihan poured a cup of tea and placed it opposite him, hinting for Official Lu to take his seat.
After Official Lu sat down, his brows furrowed.
He looked at Lu Sheng and said, “A few days ago, Uncle passed by the Demon Realm and realized that there was some turbulence below. I heard from the King of Hades that your master was with the Demon King, so I wanted to come over and ask. However, Uncle couldn’t find your master’s aura in the human world, so I came here to find you.”
Lu Sheng explained, “My master had indeed stayed with me and Uncle Demon King here. However, they went to the Demon Realm half a month ago.”
