Lou Ming took the paper bag and found a cashmere scarf inside. He raised his eyebrows in surprise as he didnât understand why his mother asked a stranger to come to his courtyard only to give him a cashmere scarf.
âDo⊠do you like it?â Jiang Siqi couldnât help but ask Lou Ming who was holding the scarf without saying anything.
Lou Ming suddenly returned to his senses, âOf course I like it, but I didnât know my mother could knit a scarf.â
Lou Ming swept a glance at it and found that there were a few missing stitches on the dark-colored cashmere scarf, itâs obvious it was handmade.
âIt wasnât made by Auntie.â Jiang Siqi whispered in a low voice.
Lou Mingâs hand that was holding the scarf stiffened.
âI made it, the craftsmanship isnât very good.â When the girl finished speaking, she lowered her head while her tender hands nervously pulled the edge of the pillow...
Lou Mingâs expression became grave in an instant. The scarf he was holding fell back into the paper bag. A smart person like Lou Ming, how could he not understand what his mother meant?
He looked at JIang Siqiâs bashful and nervous appearance. It was a scene that could only be found in television, Lou Ming never thought there would be a day when something like this happens to him.
Whatâs mother thinking? Did she forget about my special condition?
At this moment, Chen Yu finally found an excuse to sneak out of her house. She ran quickly to the Louâs small courtyard and straight to the living room unimpeded.
âThird Brother, Iâm here!â Chen Yu yelled happily when she saw Lou Ming.
Seeing Chen Yu, Lou Mingâs grave expression eased. Jiang Siqi also looked curiously, when she found a little girl who looked like a high schooler before her, she breathed out in relief.
âOh⊠itâs rare for you to have a guest here.â Chen Yu saw Jiang Siqi. Although Chen Yu wasnât an expert in seeing peopleâs auras, Jiang Siqiâs whole body was surrounded by a noble light violet aura letting her not be affected by the blood-red evil aura in the Louâs small courtyard. When Chen Yu saw this, her face instantly showed astonishment.
âHello, my name is Jiang Siqi.â Seeing that Lou Ming and Chen Yu seemed to be familiar, Jiang Siqi took the initiative to say hello.
âMy name is Chen Yu.â Chen Yu smiled and nodded, as her eyes wandered back and forth between Jiang Siqi and Lou Ming. Her eyes which seemed to see through everything made Jiang Siqi blush inexplicably.
Lou Ming knocked on Chen Yuâs head in a bad mood, âWhat are you looking at? Go upstairs.â
Chen Yu clutched her head and ran to the second floor. When she was halfway through, she suddenly turned her head, stuck her tongue out at Lou Ming and smiled, âIsnât it just a blind date? Even if you don't let me see, people would know youâre on a blind date ah.â
Although Jiang Siqi knew her intention on coming here today, she also fell in love with this clean and elegant Third Young Master the moment she saw him. However, being suddenly provoked Jiang Siqi couldnât help but lower her head bashfully.
The knot on Lou Mingâs brows that had just relaxed immediately twisted again. However, a certain culprit shouted, turned, and ran away so quickly he was unable to get angry. Lou Mingâs head got even bigger when he turned his face and saw the bashful Jiang Siqi. [T/N: headache]
âSorry.â Lou Ming said as he returned the paper bag in his hand, âIâm afraid I canât receive this gift from Miss Jiang.â
âWâŠwhy? You donât like it?â Jiang Siqi was baffled.
âMiss Jiang, I thought this was made by my mother at first⊠do you understand?â Lou Ming hinted, trying not to let his words hurt the other party.
âI⊠understand.â Jiang Siqiâs face turned red for a moment and white the next moment. Finally, beads of tears fell down from her peach-blossom eyes. She gritted her teeth and grabbed the paper bag before she ran out from the living room.
âCheng Peng, send someone to escort Miss Jiang back.â
After Lou Ming gave his order, he turned around and threw the pink pillow on the sofa far away. He really didnât understand what his parents were doing. Giving their son a blind date? And then get him married?
âIf you donât like then you donât like, why are you smashing my pillow ah?â Chen Yu leaned over the second-floor railing and complained about the unfairness her pillow received.
âDonât say nonsense.â Lou Ming said in a bad mood.
âWhat nonsense am I talking about?â Chen Yu thought for a while and said, âThird Brother, donât you want to give it a thought? That young lady is very beautiful, and her aura is really good. If the evil aura in your body doesnât get worse, living with her isnât impossible ah.â
âYour body contains evil spirits and your fate is the bane of otherâs existence. Only people with an extremely noble aura can be near you, but this kind of person is really rare in the world.â Lou Ming suddenly remembered what Master Mao said to him more than 10 years ago.
âIf it doesnât get worse? What if it gets worse then?â Lou Ming asked.
âThat⊠I donât know ah. How about you loosen the jade clasp the next time she comes and Iâll help you to test it out.â Chen Yu said.
Lou Mingâs eyes trembled, he looked at Chen Yu and asked in a deep voice, âYou mean, she will be affected once I loosen the jade clasp?â
âOf course.â Chen Yu said proudly, âDo you think there are many great people like me in this world who don't fear your evil spirits?â
The frown on Lou Mingâs brows deepened at once.
âBut Iâm still a little bit happy that your blind date is unsuccessful.â Chen Yu giggled.
Lou Ming looked over in surprise.
âIf you get married, I wonât be able to come here casually again ah, I have to avoid arousing suspicion.â Chen Yu said in a serious manner.
âYou really understand a lot!â Lou Ming simply felt angry but he also found it laughable.
Authorâs NOTE:

TL NOTE:
Heyo, wow, it has been a very long time eh? (~_^);; Iâll be solo translating BON for a while now because novi is quite busy IRL. Hope she can solve her problems as soon as possible.
Anyway, I decided to split the chapters since itâs quite long T_T
