Chapter 798: The Disabled Young Master 10

After finishing the meal, Tang Wan rubbed her stomach with a thoroughly satisfied expression.

"I finally feel full." Tang Wan narrowed her eyes, looking like a contented little kitten.

Seeing this, He Jiantong couldn't help but have a trace of amusement in his eyes. "Are you satisfied? Is there anything else you'd like to eat? The ship will be setting sail soon. If there's anything you want, I'll have someone buy it now."

Tang Wan immediately said, "There's nothing in particular I want to eat. After all, what you eat isn't important. What's important is who you eat with. If I could eat with you every day, Jiantong, I'd probably think even bran and vegetables tasted delicious."

He Jiantong's eyes immediately narrowed.

His fiancée… was she really this uninhibited?

But he had to admit, he liked her straightforwardness.

For a moment, the corners of He Jiantong's lips curved upward slightly.

……

At this time, Tang Wan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for each of them.

Just as her hand reached in front of him, He Jiantong keenly noticed that although her fingers were fairly fair and smooth, there was a thin layer of calluses on them.

He had seen the conditions of the Chu family himself. Master Chu would never mistreat his own daughter. If so, why did she have calluses on her fingers?

His eyes narrowed slightly. A moment later, He Jiantong calmly accepted the tea and took a sip.

He then said to Tang Wan, "You've been traveling for several days and must be tired. Get some rest early. If you need anything, just have Ping'er inform me directly."

"All right." Tang Wan immediately nodded.

Then she watched He Jiantong leave with a reluctant expression.

……

It wasn't that He Jiantong hadn't noticed the look in her eyes.

But despite feeling pleased, he was even more puzzled.

The moment he stepped outside the room, his expression immediately darkened. He then called over his trusted subordinate.

"Have someone continue watching the Chu family! Something isn't right about this Chu Pan'er."

Hearing this, his subordinate's expression changed. "Young Master, you mean…?"

"Chu Pan'er may have been switched with someone else," He Jiantong said coldly.

No wonder Master Chu's expression had been so forced when he first saw him, only to suddenly become warm and enthusiastic toward him afterward.

So that was where the problem lay.

……

Hearing He Jiantong's words, his trusted subordinate's expression darkened. "What a Chu family! Young Master, they actually dared to deceive you. Why don't we turn around right now and take this fake Chu Pan'er back to confront them?"

"No need." He Jiantong immediately rejected the idea.

"Why?" His subordinate asked in confusion.

He Jiantong's lips curved slightly. The next moment, he said in a deep voice, "Whether she's Chu Pan'er or not doesn't matter, because my fiancée can only be her."

"Young Master?"

His subordinate was completely dumbfounded.

What exactly did the Young Master mean by that?

……

Seeing the bewildered look on his subordinate's face, He Jiantong simply waved his hand. "Although the Chu family has acted dishonorably, by a twist of fate, they've done one thing right. Immediately send someone to keep an eye on the Chu family. I want to know what's going on with the real Chu Pan'er."

If she didn't want to marry him, then so be it. But why go so far as to arrange a substitute bride?

This showed that Chu Pan'er definitely didn't sincerely want to marry him.

On the contrary, although this fake Chu Pan'er wasn't the real Miss Chu, in his eyes, she was ten or a hundred times better than the real Chu Pan'er.

He simply didn't know why she had agreed to become a substitute bride for the Chu family.

What if she had been forced into it?

Thinking of this, He Jiantong's expression grew even darker.

……

His trusted subordinate finally understood as well.

So his Young Master had taken a liking to the fake Chu Pan'er?

The Chu family had actually… managed to stumble into the right outcome by accident?
