Yu Han woke up at eight in the morning upon hearing a soft knock on the door. He hurriedly threw aside his duvet and went to open the door, not wanting to disturb Feng Xi's sleep.
Last night, they came back home late after dinner. Yu Han could tell Feng Xi was feeling much better and relieved. He opened the door softly and found Lady Yao in front of the door.
Yu Han gestured to her not to make a noise, as Feng Xi was still asleep, and asked her to follow him and go talk outside.
"Young Master, some Mr. Yang had been calling since the morning, and now he even arrived here." Lady Yao informed Yu Han, to which Yu Han frowned his brows and told Lady Yao to let Mr. Yang wait for a while.
"Let him wait, and bring him after I'm done freshening up and having breakfast." Yu Han informed Lady Yao, and walked away lazily, "Oh, and don't disturb me till then."
Mr. Yang had been waiting for half an hour already, and when he saw Lady Yao walking down from the stairs, his eyes lit up in anticipation.
"Master Yang, I am sorry, but you might have to wait a little longer." Lady Yao told him and served some pleasantries, unsure of how to tell him that Young Master Han was too lazy to see him.
"Oh, it's alright. I can wait." Mr. Yang replied enthusiastically.
Shen Yu Han went back to his bedroom, watched Lu Feng Xi sleep, and walked to her, "I hope you are having a good dream." He whispered in Feng Xi's ear and went to the washroom.
Yu Han took his time in the washroom; after showering, he went to the walking closet and chose the best he could.
By the time he went for breakfast, it was already nine.
Lady Yao watched Yu Han walk toward the dining area, approached him, and said, "Young Master, Master Yang, he had been waiting for too long now."
"Let him wait. Serve me something good if you don't want him to wait longer." Yu Han said coldly, and Lady Yao did as she was told to.
'What's wrong with the young master?' Lady Yao thought when she noticed that Yu Han was eating really slowly.
"It was a good meal." Yu Han complemented the kitchen staff as he elegantly wiped his lips and stood up, "Let Feng Xi rest for a while. Don't disturb her." He instructed everyone and then turned to Lady Yao and told her to bring the guest to the outer study.
"Yes, young master," Lady Yao replied, complied with his orders, and sent a maid to inform Mr. Yang and to bring him to the outer study.
Mr. Yang was delighted to know that he would finally be able to meet Young Master Shen.
When Mr. Yang entered the study, Shen Yu Han was already there. "Young master Shen," Mr. Yang greeted Shen Yu Han politely.
Yu Han asked Mr. Yang to take a seat and instructed the maid to bring some tea for them.
"So, Mr. Yang, how are you here?" Yu Han asked nonchalantly.
"Young master Shen," Mr. Yang said, "I heard my daughter make you angry."
"Is that so?" Yu Han asked, and picked up a file to read it.
"Young master Han, I really apologize in her stead, but can you please reconsider our deal?" Mr. Yang requested.
"Deal? Sure, what are you offering?" Yu Han kept the file in his hands aside and looked up at Mr. Yang.
"I knew it." Mr. Yang delightedly said, and took out a file from his bag that he carried with him and handed it to Shen Yu Han.
Shen Yu Han read the file for a while and said, "The content is really good and luricative. It's no wonder you were selected for this project."
"See, I knew that young master Shen could tell right from wrong." Mr. Yang stated and smiled.
"Right from wrong?" Yu Han asked and raised one of his brows up.
"Yes, well, you see, my daughter was not completely wrong. The Lu family was the one who wronged young master Shen. I can tell how bad upbringing they had for their daughters." Mr. Yang said to which Yu Han put his elbows on the table, rested his chin on his hands, and told Mr. Yang to continue.
"You see, the older one was good. I don't know why she did that. But the younger one," Mr. Yang shook his head and said, "She is nothing but a bumpkin. I don't know why she is even in the Lu family. If she were my daughter. I would have dragged her out of my house and thrown her in the servant's quarter."
"Oh? But why?" Yu Han asked and smiled.
"Young Master Shen, you see, the young lady of the Lu group is good for nothing. She knows nothing and always causes trouble. It is said that the Lu family kicked her out because of her delinquent nature." Mr. Yang sighed and shook his head as if he were really disappointed.
"This kind of person is not suited for Mr. Shen and his family; you should better stay away. Otherwise, the Lu family will play tricks on you since I heard that the younger one is good at seducing men." Mr. Yang said whatever came to his mind.
All Mr. Yang wanted to gain some pointers from Shen Yu Han, but what he didn't know was that he had angered the devil.
Shen Yu Han said nothing; he heard everything Mr. Yang had to say with a smile. When Mr. Yang was done, he opened a drawer and took out an invitation card.
"Here," Yu Han said and put the card in front of Mr. Yang, "This is an invitation to our private family party. I hope you will come."
"Private party?" Mr. Yang couldn't help but feel proud of himself that he was finally able to earn the recognition of Shen Yu Han.
