"Sure!"
Shen Nian didn't refuse. She was also curious to see what Chu Lingxiu was up to.
Besides, this was the Chu Family's home. Even in the worst-case scenario, if Chu Lingxiu wanted to harm her, she probably wouldn't choose to do it here.
"I'll go with you."
Lu Cheng spoke up as soon as he saw Shen Nian nod. Shen Nian had sensed Chu Lingxiu's hostility, and there was no way Lu Cheng could have missed it either.
He could refrain from confronting Chu Lingxiu in front of the Chu Family, but he couldn't just stand by and watch her bully Shen Nian.
"Lu Cheng, Sister Xiao Nian and I might have some private things to talk about. It would be a little inappropriate for you to come along. Besides, it's not like I'm going to do anything to her. Do you really have to be so protective?"
Chu Lingxiu had only ever intended for the two of them to go alone, so she naturally didn't want Lu Cheng tagging along. If he came, 'what could she possibly do?'
