Chapter 157: 157. Already Engaged (First Update)

Duanmu Chen smiled at the corner of his lips and returned to his seat.

Outsiders could only see that he was talking to Su Liang, but they didn't know what was said. Subconsciously, they would think Duanmu Chen was interested in Su Liang and was showing his goodwill in public.

In this way, it caused some people who suspected that Su Liang and Duanmu Chen had known each other in Bei'an County to speculate.

If this were the case, given Duanmu Chen's personality, he should have avoided any suspicion.

Lian Shun whispered to Duanmu Che, "You see? If Su Liang were Duanmu Chen's spy, why would he need to be so eager to please her and not get her married to the crown prince's mansion or enter the imperial harem to be able to help her?"

Duanmu Che hadn't mentioned the word "spy" since today's encounter between Su Liang and Mu Ya.

Hearing Lian Shun's words, Duanmu Che's thin lips tightened, his gaze sweeping over Su Liang, who was eating fruit, and quickly withdrew.
