Chapter 98 (1/2)

Ling Tian smiled and said, ”Mother, if you continue staring at them like that, you will scare these two beautiful ladies.”

Chu Ting’er then grunted as she thought to herself in frustration, ”This child, having such a glib tongue in front of the two ladies. What if the both of them end up misunderstanding him?” She could not help but glare at Ling Tian.

Thinking about how the two ladies were here to find her son, it didn’t seem right for her to still be present. Thus, Chu Ting’er stood up and said, ”Tian’er, since the two ladies came here specially to look for you, they must have something to discuss with you. Your mother is a little tired and I will be going back to my room first. XuanXuan, tell your mother that I will definitely pay her a visit at a later date.”

Both the ladies stood up and sent her off with a bow, ”Thank you auntie, let us send you off.” They also heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

As Chu Ting’er saw how both the ladies were relieved of a burden as though they could not help but wish she was gone, she laughed in her heart. When she walked to the door, she sent an eye signal to Ling Tian, signalling him to find her. She then whispered to him, ”This XuanXuan isn’t too bad, mother likes her a lot. Tian’er you must grasp this opportunity well, if…” As she said that, her face turned red as she nudged Ling Tian to walk out a little further with her.

Ling Tian was extremely clear that his mother wanted to teach him a trick or two and could not help but laugh bitterly. While Chu Ting’er was ignorant, Ling Tian knew that it was impossible for these two ladies to be alone — the two experts would have definitely followed them here. If his mother gives him some rotten idea in desperation for a daughter-in-law, it would definitely be heard by the both of them. While he would not mind, it would not be good for his mother’s reputation.

Chu Ting’er, who wanted to teach some last minute tips of how to woo a lady to her son, realized that her son completely did not understood what she meant. His eyes were only fixed on the two ladies as his body did not budge an inch.

”Fool! Idiot!” Chu Ting’er was both angered and anxious in her heart. But, since she had already said that she was going to take her leave, she could only leave with a stomach full of resentment, cursing Ling Tian along the way.

Seeing Chu Ting’er leave, the three of them let out a heave of relief in unison. They then could not help but stare at each other as they burst out into laughter. As they laughed, the distance between the three of them narrowed all of a sudden.

Ling Tian then opened his mouth first, ”I wonder what both of you ladies are looking for me for?” Although he was extremely clear why they looked for him, he feigned ignorance on the surface.

Both the ladies focused their gaze on Ling Tian as Yu BingYan said with a smile, ”Mister ‘Teary Dreams of Worldly Affairs’, we meet again. Haha, Young n.o.ble Ling Tian really hid yourself well. Your schemes really makes this little sister admire you.” However, she did not answer Ling Tian’s question but made a joke. Her meaning was obvious, ”Since we already saw through your disguise, there is no need for you to act like a silkpants in front of us.”

Ling Tian gave a wide smile as he said, ”I’m guilty, after seeing that both of you ladies were unfamiliar and that you were painting, I could not help but have a go at it, disgracing myself. I thought that we would be strangers in pa.s.sing and not meet each other again, But, I never expected the both of you to be so resourceful, finding where I stay. Rest a.s.sured, if I, Ling Tian, still acts like a silkpants, that would be too disrespectful.”

Ling Tian’s words explained why he revealed his talents as he subtly indicated that it was a casual gesture of his with no intentions of getting to know the both of them. Thus, it made it seem as though he had no ulterior motives behind his actions and he was a gentleman.

Both the ladies smiled as each other and Yu BingYan asked again, ”I wonder why young n.o.ble concealed yourself as such? Why go to such lengths?”
