Looking at the speechless Ye Lingsu, Lu Yuan took another sip of tea and asked plainly, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
"Since Hallmaster Lu has said so, what else can I say?" Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Ye Lingsu smiled bitterly.
"Ha!" Looking at Ye Lingsu's bitter smile, Lu Yuan chuckled softly.
"Hallmaster Lu, putting aside the marriage, what do you think of my daughter?" Ye Lingsu asked softly after a moment of silence.
Hearing this, Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I've said it before. Miss Ye is beautiful, has a cold temperament, and is dignified and generous. She's a very good girl."
"That's good." Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Ye Lingsu smiled faintly.
"Does Sect Leader Ye still have thoughts of marriage? If that's the case, then please give up on this idea. I won't accept any political marriage. "
Lu Yuan's tone was calm, but it was firm and resolute.
"Since Hallmaster Lu has said so, even if I had such thoughts, I wouldn't dare to mention it in front of Hallmaster Lu. It's just that I, Lingling, as a widow and orphan, have to be bullied again."
Ye Lingsu sighed with a pitiful look on her face. Her watery eyes sized up Lu Yuan with a hint of pity in them. She looked so weak and helpless.
One had to admit that although Ye Lingsu was old, she was still charming. She didn't look like someone in her forties at all. Instead, she looked like she was in her late twenties.
In addition to her delicate face and voluptuous figure, she exuded a mature and intellectual temperament. Compared to a young girl, she had an indescribable charm.
At this moment, her pitiful eyes could really melt a man's heart.
Unfortunately, she was facing Lu Yuan, who was used to seeing beautiful women. It wasn't that the honey trap didn't work on Lu Yuan, but it depended on the level of the beauty. As for Ye Lingsu, she was obviously still lacking.
Looking at Ye Lingsu's pitiful look, Lu Yuan's face remained calm.
His eyes were carefully looking at Ye Lingsu, but his mind was in turmoil.
Ye Lingsu was not a simple woman. She had a lot of tricks up her sleeves. Was she trying to gain his sympathy by putting on such a pitiful look because he was young and inexperienced?
Or was she using the hot-bloodedness and impatience of a young man to seduce him with her beauty?
If it was a young man who saw such a beautiful woman showing such a sad and pitiful expression, perhaps his heart would really soften. But you met me, Lu Xuan, so you are destined to return empty-handed.
Using a honey trap on me, do you think you're old …? At best, you're about the same level as Liu Erlong, or even worse. Liu Erlong is still chaste.
Lu Yuan said in his heart.
Ye Lingsu's face was filled with a pitiful expression. While showing her pitiful eyes, she was also looking at Lu Yuan's expression. But what disappointed her was that this young man was not affected at all. Looking at her, any man would feel pity for her, but this guy had no reaction at all.
Could it be that her charm had decreased recently?
Ye Lingsu couldn't help but doubt her own charm. She couldn't even win over a young man.
Pretending not to know anything, Lu Yuan purposely asked, with a hint of surprise in his voice, "Sect Master Ye, you mentioned a widow and an orphan. Has your husband passed away?"
"Yes, my husband has passed away for a few years. All these years, I've been taking care of Lingling all by myself. Sigh, a widow and an orphan. Without a pillar of support in the family, I don't know how much suffering they've gone through. It's fine if I'm old, but Lingling is still young and has no one to rely on."
Ye Lingsu said softly and sighed slightly. The pitiful expression on her face became even more pronounced.
So, you're still thinking of betrothing Ye Lingling to me? Since the marriage failed, you're trying to act pitiful to gain my sympathy? Woman, woman, you sure have a lot of ideas, Lu Yuan thought in his heart.
As Ye Lingsu spoke, she was paying attention to Lu Yuan's expression. Just as Lu Yuan thought, she still hadn't given up on the idea of marrying Ye Lingling to Lu Yuan. She had thought it through. Even if she was only the fifth child, it would still be a great advantage for Ye Lingling. Was there anyone better and more outstanding than this young man in front of her in this world?
If she missed out on him, would Ye Lingling be able to find a better husband?
Absolutely impossible. So, even if her own daughter was the youngest child, she didn't want to give up on Lu Yuan, this peerless rich husband. It was just that Lu Yuan's determination about the marriage shocked her. She had no choice but to resort to this method, which was to act pitiful.
Needless to say, her words were really sincere. After all, it wasn't easy for her all these years. When she said these words, it was really easy to move people's hearts.
Looking at Ye Lingsu's wonderful performance, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little amused. This Ye Lingsu had been playing tricks on him. Did she really think that he didn't have a temper?
As he thought about it, Lu Yuan had a wicked idea.
"I heard Sect Master Ye say that there's no longer a pillar of support in your family. Then, have you considered looking for someone to rely on?" Lu Yuan smiled faintly.
"Of course. I can see that Hallmaster Lu is very talented. My daughter also …" After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Ye Lingsu was delighted. She thought that her seduction and acting pitiful had finally worked. She hurriedly spoke. However, she was interrupted by Lu Yuan halfway through her sentence.
"Since Sect Master Ye is thinking of looking for someone to rely on, what do you think of Elder Dugu from the Dragon King Hall? Elder Dugu is also a Titled Douluo now.
"Sect Leader Ye is still as beautiful as ever. If you can get together with Elder Dugu, I'm sure it'll be a beautiful marriage. Furthermore, you have a Titled Douluo to protect you. You and your son will have someone to rely on."
"How is it? What do you think of my suggestion, Sect Master Ye?" Lu Yuan smiled as he asked.
"This … this …" After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Ye Lingsu was stunned. She had thought that her seduction and acting pitiful had moved Lu Yuan, and he had finally agreed to marry her daughter. She didn't expect him to be a matchmaker for her. Furthermore, the matchmaker was Dugu Bo.
When she thought of Dugu Bo's old face, Ye Lingsu shuddered and shook her head violently.
"Why? Is Sect Master Ye not satisfied with Elder Dugu? Do you despise Elder Dugu for being poisonous and having a granddaughter? Are you afraid that Miss Ye will be bullied? "
After seeing Ye Lingsu shake her head, Lu Yuan stroked his chin with his right hand and said, "Since that's the case, what do you think of the Frenzy Rhino Douluo? The Frenzy Rhino Douluo is still single. He doesn't have any family or children. Furthermore, he's very clean. It's not a bad choice for you to marry him."
