Chapter 1272: Like
Master Chu dressed with an air of opulence today, unlike his usual casual demeanor; the golden crown and jade hairpin adorning his head lent him a particularly noble and extraordinary appearance.
Before, Su Yunjin had felt that Master Chu was no ordinary man, likely of nobility. Now, seeing his attire, she was even more convinced that he was of royal or noble blood.
Perhaps not expecting to see Master Chu here, Mrs. Qin showed initial surprise before smiling and greeting him, "I’ve seen Master Chu."
Master Chu had business dealings with Mrs. Qin and recognized her. After Mrs. Qin finished speaking, Master Chu nodded politely.
Then he turned his gaze to Su Yunjin.
"Miss Su, I hear that your Zuixiang Restaurant has reopened?" Master Chu looked at Su Yunjin, a flicker of indiscernible emotion flashing in his eyes. However, that emotion was quickly concealed by him.
Though Master Chu quickly hid it, and it wasn’t very obvious, the sharp Mrs. Qin still caught it.
The way Master Chu looked at Su Yunjin was clearly different from how he looked at her. While his gaze towards her was polite and distant, the way he looked at Su Yunjin was the same as how Prince Qi Han used to look at her—with a liking yet with restraint, a look Mrs. Qin was all too familiar with.
Back then, Prince Qi Han had affection for her, but because she had already married Qin Yan, he had to hold back. And now, the way Master Chu looked at Su Yunjin bore a striking resemblance to how Prince Qi Han had looked at her.
