Chapter 480 - Are You Planning to Stay Long? (2/2)

He opened the door terrified that his uncle and auntie had heard the news. However, when he opened the door, an unfamiliar woman stood outside. She smiled awkwardly as her eyes kept glancing at the interior of the ward. She seemed to be anxious and worried, and her shyness was filled with a mixture of expectation and excitement.

”Cousin…” Du Jingtang almost called her 'Cousin-in-law'. However, he blinked his eyes to clear his vision. No, it wasn't that person. They looked alike at first glance, but upon closer observation, they were miles apart.

”Hi. May I know if Mr. Chu is staying here?” the woman asked gently. She was trying to see through Du Jingtang in search of the man inside—the one she wanted to see.

Looking for Cousin? Du Jingtang gave the woman in front of him another once-over.

She looked pretty enough.

Nevertheless, his ex-cousin-in-law… oops. It was ex-ex-cousin-in-law who was much more beautiful than this woman. She had a better disposition. This woman was just a lookalike who couldn't even compare to her.

How could two leaves look the same in this world? Obviously, no two people would look alike, too. This woman wasn't his ex-ex… no, it wasn't Xia Ruoxin. When did his cousin find such a character? Was he treating her as a replacement? He must be. His cousin must be regretting his actions. See, he even found a replacement. He would be lying through his teeth if he said he wasn't regretting.

He discarded the original, and now, he found a replacement.

”May I…?” The woman was about to repeat her question. Du Jingtang put on his professional smile. ”You're looking for my cousin? He's right inside.”

”Really?” The woman's eyes lit up. Finally, she had not made a wasted trip. Du Jingtang stopped her just as her foot was about to cross the threshold. What was this woman doing here? He hadn't agreed to let her enter. Was she really that keen to go in? She kept peering into the ward. She must be crazy for this man.

”Ehm, may I come in?” Finally, the woman felt the anxiety welling up inside her. She cleared her thoughts and asked in embarrassment. However, there was clearly a look of impatience flashing in her eyes.

Another pretender. Du Jingtang held back the urge to roll his eyes at her.

She wasn't as skilled as Li Manni with her pretense. Li Manni had been acting right in their faces for four years. Because of her, they were insatiable when it came to acting. They knew how to pick on the faults now. Since this woman wanted to keep up with her pretense, Du Jingtang would leave her be.

”Brother, someone is looking for you.” Du Jingtang shouted towards the ward. ”If you keep quiet, I'm going to let her in.”

”Come in.” Chu Lui didn't know who was here for him. Since that person wished to enter, he would be accommodating.
