Bab 45: Shadow of Beauty (3)

"Brother Chen, may I be so brazen as to ask, this thing was dug out from a grave, wasn't it?" Feigning indifference, Lu Sheng asked casually.

Chen Jiaorong nodded, "Yea, it’s gotten from some grave. You still haven’t given me a reply. Like my sister asked, how well must both of you know each other to be considered well enough?" He again shifted the topic of conversation back to the matter of his sister’s marriage.

Lu Sheng had evaded it once earlier. Now that he was being asked again, he immediately sighed.

"Such matters can’t be rushed. Brother Chen, you’ll find out in due time. Moreover, I’ve only known Yunxi for such a short period… does your family really trusts me that much?"

"You know, originally, I had my reservations. But because of what you’ve just said, I can really put my mind at ease now." Smiling, he added, "If you agree to this, we can double the dowry!"

Lu Sheng smiled bitterly.
