After quickly wearing the second male lead who was rejected

The carriage stopped at Yunhe Tower.

Gu Chang jumped off the carriage first. He really couldn't stand the heroine's straightforward and rude gaze.

In the box on the second floor of Yunhe Tower.

"Your Highness, Master Lu is here." The guard bowed his head respectfully.

"Mr. Lu? General Lu's son, when did you become friends with him?" The young man sitting opposite Ouyang Yuanqi held a folding fan in his hand.

Those fox eyes looked at Ouyang Yuanqi with a smile, and the tone was very frivolous.

Ever since the incident at Bodhi Temple, Ouyang Yuanqi had paid more attention to Gu Chang, simply watching from the side. He himself didn't know where his fondness for Gu Chang came from, it was as if they had known each other for a long time.

This feeling is amazing.

Ouyang Yuanqi asked the guard to go first, then tilted his head, his light brown eyes gleaming with coldness, "Are you interested in him?"

"Don't change the subject." The young man closed his folding fan, then put his hands on his chin and asked with interest, "You haven't answered me when you met Lu Zhiyuan."

"Zhao Yueqing." Ouyang Yuanqi said coldly, "You've been too idle."

Zhao Yueqing didn't care about Ouyang Yuanqi's freezing eyes. She stood up and stretched, "Thanks to the blessing of His Royal Highness Prince Yu, I can take a break from my busy life today." After saying that, she stepped out of the box with her long legs.

Ouyang Yuanqi, "......"

Xu Ruowei booked a private room on the second floor.

Since Xu Ruowei is treating, then ordering the food will be left to her.

Xu Ruowei asked in a friendly manner, "Mr. Lu, are there any foods that he cannot eat?"

"No." Gu Chang's answer was very concise.

Xu Ruowei had no choice but to guess Gu Chang's preferences and then ordered the dishes.

Long San and Xu Ruowei's servants just acted as background and were very quiet.

After ordering the dishes, Xu Ruowei smiled and said, "I haven't told Mr. Lu yet. My last name is Qin Xuan. Mr. Lu, just call me Qin Xuan."

Gu Chang said "hmm".

"Come to think of it, Mr. Lu, you are a few years older than me. How about I call you Brother Lu?" Xu Ruowei didn't care about Gu Chang's cold attitude and brought up the topic enthusiastically.

Gu Chang suddenly chuckled, "What is Master Qin doing in the capital?"

Xu Ruowei was a little dazed by the chuckle, but she quickly calmed down and smiled, "Let's do some small business."

knock knock knock.

There were three knocks on the door, and at the same time someone called out, "Sir, the dishes you ordered are here."

"Come in." Xu Ruowei wanted to take advantage of this meal to build a good relationship with Lu Zhiyuan.

Then a young man walked in. He was wearing a green robe, a jade crown and black hair. He had a handsome face, a pair of fox eyes with slightly curved corners, which showed his affection. He had a gentle smile and an upright posture. He held a folding fan in his hand, and silver cloud patterns were embroidered on his cuffs.

Xu Ruowei couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, sir, is there anything I can help you with?" She had no idea that her eyes were shining.

Zhao Yueqing skillfully opened her folding fan, revealing a vivid red plum blossom painting. "My two guests, I'm the manager of Yunhelou. We've recently introduced a new dish, so I'll be giving every guest at Yunhelou a taste and review."

Then Zhao Yueqing asked the people behind him to come in, and several servants came in one after another, holding various dishes in their hands.

After placing them on the table one by one, Zhao Yueqing walked between the two of them. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Zhao Yueqing looked at Gu Chang several times, and he looked at him openly.

Gu Chang raised his eyes and happened to meet Zhao Yueqing's gaze.

"Hey, is this young man's surname Lu?" Zhao Yueqing closed his folding fan, leaned down, and his pair of fox eyes were very charming.

Gu Chang frowned slightly, "Exactly."

Zhao Yueqing seemed to have looked at Gu Chang enough before she stood up and sighed with regret, "I am fortunate to have obtained a portrait of Mr. Lu's mother. Looking at it this way, Mr. Lu and Madam Ye look about eight points alike."

Gu Chang didn't know what the meaning of Zhao Yueqing's words was. The only thing he was sure of was that Zhao Yueqing was a man with bad intentions.

In the plot, Zhao Yueqing is the owner of Yunhelou. Because Xu Ruowei has some relationship with Prince Yu, he gives her some advice. However, Xu Ruowei later starts to pursue Zhao Yueqing. Zhao Yueqing does not say yes or no, but keeps her in suspense. When the suspense is almost enough, he agrees to Xu Ruowei. Then he takes control of more than half of Xu Ruowei's shops. Xu Ruowei also trusts Zhao Yueqing very much and leaves all these matters to Zhao Yueqing.

But every time there is a misunderstanding between the heroine and the heroes, Zhao Yueqing’s shadow is there.

Xu Ruowei interrupted, "Why is Mr. Zhao always chatting with Brother Lu?" Yes, Xu Ruowei began to mind that Zhao Yueqing ignored her affairs and completely forgot that her current identity was just a small businesswoman.

Compared to Gu Chang's identity, she is obviously not qualified.

Zhao Yueqing glanced at Xu Ruowei, who was dressed as a man, and walked up to her. The tip of the folding fan touched her smooth chin, her eyes flashing slightly, and her tone was very ambiguous, "Sir, you can't wait? It's Zhao's fault."

The warm breath passed by Xu Ruowei's cheek, and she felt that Zhao Yueqing's tone of voice was very seductive.

Xu Ruowei's face began to turn red, and the resentment in her heart disappeared a lot.

Gu Chang noticed that Zhao Yueqing's gaze swept towards Xu Ruowei's neck.

The dress Xu Ruowei was wearing covered even her neck very tightly. Just now, Zhao Yueqing lifted her chin, leaving just a little space.

So, this means that they discovered that Xu Ruowei is a woman?

Zhao Yueqing put away his folding fan as if nothing had happened, took a few steps back, and began to introduce the new dishes. Just listening to his voice, one could tell that he was very happy.

Gu Chang, not knowing why Zhao Yueqing was so happy, took a few bites of the dish in front of him with an expressionless face.

However, Xu Ruowei looked a little conflicted.

She had suffered so much humiliation in her past life that her heart rate wouldn't speed up or her face flush when a man approached her. She was also quite adept at judging people, not to mention the look Zhao Yueqing had just given her. In this life, Xu Ruowei planned to make money first and live an honest life with Prince Yu.

But just now, she looked in Zhao Yueqing's direction for some unknown reason, and saw him flirting with her. Only then did she realize that there was something else she hadn't thought of.

This manager is not ordinary.

Xu Ruowei stared at the big fish and meat in front of her with a conflicted look on her face, as if this dish had a grudge against her.

He actually likes men?

Xu Ruowei's face turned a bit grim after she came to this conclusion. Her disguise was so perfect that it shouldn't have been discovered, but considering Zhao Yueqing's behavior, she found it possible. This manager either liked men, or he had discovered that she was a woman.

I have to say that the heroine's brain is very useful in certain situations.

Neither of them had any intention of supporting Zhao Yueqing, and Zhao Yueqing knew that it was boring, so he just left with his group.

Zhao Yueqing walked a few steps and turned to the box where Ouyang Yuanqi was. As soon as she entered, she teased him, "So Mr. Lu has someone he likes."

Ouyang Yuanqi paused while drinking tea and looked up at him.

But his eyes were quite cold.

Zhao Yueqing curled her lips and opened her folding fan. "Mr. Lu brought a lady dressed as a man out to dinner, doesn't that mean he has a crush on her?"

"Given Mr. Lu's status, not many families in the capital are willing to marry their daughters to him. Could it be that Mr. Lu plans to take the initiative and then arrange the marriage?" Zhao Yueqing was immersed in his own thoughts and couldn't extricate himself. The more he thought about it, the more it made sense.

Ouyang Yuanqi's eyes were dim.

With a snap, the teacup in his hand broke.

Zhao Yueqing was startled by the sound. She saw Ouyang Yuanqi emitting cold air all over his body. There was a teacup on the ground that he had crushed. "Why are you reacting so strongly?"

Zhao Yueqing, who was quick-witted, knew that what she had just said had upset Ouyang Yuanqi, and she quickly explained, "Oh, I was just saying that. I know Mr. Lu is not that kind of person. I'm afraid that woman wants to do something to Mr. Lu."

Ouyang Yuanqi said coldly: "Go check."

These two simple words made Zhao Yueqing feel that Mr. Lu held an extraordinary position in Ouyang Yuanqi's heart.

After the meal, Xu Ruowei made an excuse to leave, "I will come to visit you another day. Brother Lu, I have something else to do, so I'll leave you first." Then she left with the servant, and she had already paid the bill before leaving.

Long San saw Gu Chang standing by the window with his eyelids slightly closed, wondering what he was thinking.

"Long San, what do you think of this person?" Gu Chang suddenly asked him.

Long San answered truthfully, "It's not credible." Not to mention that Mr. Qin's behavior lacked masculinity, the key point was that this man stared at Gu Chang all the way, and his mind was probably full of such dirty things.

"Let's go back." Gu Chang said in a calm voice.

After returning to the Lu Mansion, Gu Chang summoned Long Yi to the study.

"How's the investigation going?" Gu Chang asked the man in black in front of him.

Long Yi's slightly hoarse voice rang out, "I only know that this person is from the Chuzhou Chamber of Commerce. That day, he was discussing business with someone in the back mountain of Bodhi Temple."

Gu Chang frowned slightly.

Chuzhou Chamber of Commerce, if he remembered correctly, the boss of this chamber of commerce was also one of the main concubines of the heroine.

"System, can you check the owner of this Chuzhou Chamber of Commerce?" Gu Chang lowered his eyes.

The system moved its little finger, searched the plot feedback from the world, and then sent the information to Gu Chang.

"Long Yi, come with me to see that person." Gu Chang's cold voice passed by Long Yi's ears.

Long Yi looked at Gu Chang who had already walked out with deep eyes, and a complicated look flashed across his face.

What on earth does he want to do...

That person has been living in the guest room of Lu Mansion so far.

As soon as Gu Chang arrived, he saw a tall man with his back to him. The blue and white uniform he was wearing seemed to be a size too small for him.

"How is your injury?" Gu Chang was three steps away from him.

The man turned around and saw Gu Chang, his eyes flickered, "You shouldn't have saved me."

Gu Chang raised his eyebrows, "I didn't save you for nothing."

"Tell me who you are first." Gu Chang walked to the stone bench and sat down. Seeing this, the man had no choice but to sit on the stone bench on the other side.

This man has a gentle and elegant appearance, and is well-read, but his eyes have the shrewdness that only a businessman can have.

"I'm Chu Hui, the boss of the Chuzhou Chamber of Commerce." Chu Hui got straight to the point. "What are your conditions?"

Gu Chang placed his right hand on the stone tabletop, tapping the cold surface with his index finger. "The terms haven't been decided yet, so you can just owe me the money. However, I'll charge extra for your food and clothing while you're here."

Chu Hui nodded, he knew this.

The Lu Mansion is not what it used to be. Although there are several large shops, they don’t play much of a role in essence.

What's more, the Ye family is now in decline.

"Then I won't disturb you from recuperating. You can tell Uncle Wu if you need anything, and he will arrange it for you." Gu Chang said as he stood up.

Chu Hui suddenly said, "You should be careful these days."

"Who should I be careful of?" Gu Chang narrowed his eyes slightly.

Chu Hui avoided the question and said, "Given your current condition, I will contact the Chamber of Commerce to send a few people to guard the Lu Mansion."

Gu Chang curled his lips, "Thank you."

In fact, with Chu Hui's identity, there is no need to choose Lu Mansion as a hiding place. Gu Chang didn't know what he was going to do, which was not in the plot.

Originally, he came to Chu Hui to hand over the shop under the Lu Mansion's name to him. Chu Hui was a good partner, but after talking to him, Gu Chang no longer trusted this person.

Gu Chang's lips curled up, and he decided to go find Ouyang Yuanqi tomorrow.

He just thought that he didn't know how to manage the five shops under the Lu family's name, so he handed them over to Ouyang Yuanqi.

But, I need to find a better excuse...

The next day, Gu Chang stayed in the hall of Prince Yu's Mansion, waiting for Ouyang Yuanqi.

A guard came running over, "Mr. Lu, my prince invites you to the study."

"Please follow me."

Behind Gu Chang was Long San. The two followed the guards through the pavilion and the shady path, turned a corner, and arrived at Ouyang Yuanqi's study.

Long San stayed outside diligently, and Gu Chang pushed the door open and walked in.

Ouyang Yuanqi was only wearing a white silk inner garment, with his black hair casually draped and the ends of his hair slightly wet.

Gu Chang was slightly confused. Is this... just after taking a shower?
