I am born a beauty, and I am supreme - Chapter 118
When Chu Ge met his gaze, she felt uneasy and said, "Ah, I'm very busy, I'm extremely busy all day long."
"Oh yeah?" Chu Gexing snorted. "Do you think I don't know who you're always hanging out with?"
Chu Ge Xun was startled: "Brother, you didn't know, did you?"
Chu Gexing frowned: "What do I know?"
Chu Gexun breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah, it's nothing, I was just saying it casually."
Chu Gexing stared at him intently: "Come on, tell me honestly, why have you been going to Leyan's place so much these past two days?"
Chu Ge Xun's eyes flickered: "No..."
Chu Gexing hummed in agreement.
Chu Ge Xun immediately surrendered: "I knew I couldn't hide it for long, but I don't intend to lie to my elder brother. Um, I've been going there quite often these past two days, hehe."
"Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious; I don't think there's anything you could steal from Leyan. Could it be that you..."
"Brother is wise," Chu Ge Xun replied shamelessly, bowing his head obsequiously.
Chu Gexing looked at him with a mixture of amusement and exasperation: "So you're saying there's something going on between you? Aren't you ashamed at all?"
Chu Ge Xun said leisurely, "It's nothing to be ashamed of."
Seeing the unprecedented certainty and relaxation on his face, Chu Gexing's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but frown: "You don't mean to say, you've taken a fancy to Le Yan..."
"I don't like that sissy at all!" Chu Gexun jumped up. "Brother, please don't think of me as a pervert, okay?"
Chu Gexing raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Ha, ha... so you've taken a fancy to it..."
My heart skipped a beat again: "Which one have you taken a fancy to?"
Chu Ge Xun gave a thumbs up: "Brother has sharp eyes."
"If you're really that sharp, then I don't need to ask you."
"you guess."
"Stop rambling."
"Of course, it's the cuter one." Chu Ge Xun's smile was incredibly lewd.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, that saying is absolutely true," Chu Gexing said bitterly.
"It's really cuter," Chu Gexun exclaimed, frowning, as if indignant on behalf of her lover.
"Is it called... what's the painting called?" Chu Gexing asked slowly, carefully observing Chu Gexun's expression.
Chu Ge Xun was taken aback for a moment, then said with a grin, "No, it's the one with the big eyes, my lovely Shu Shu."
Chu Gexing then slowly turned his head and said, "Oh, okay."
Chu Gexun scratched his head: "That's it?"
"What else do you want?"
"Brother, you've met Shushu too, what do you think of her?" Chu Gexun scratched his head and looked at Chu Gexing.
"Since you like it so much, what else do I need to say? Do my thoughts matter?" Chu Gexing sighed.
"Of course it's important!" Chu Ge exclaimed. "My brother is the most important person to me. I like him, so of course my brother shouldn't dislike him either."
Chu Gexing glanced at him, and after a long while, smiled faintly: "Yes, I've met him. He's not bad."
Chu Ge's face flushed red: "Thank you, brother."
"When did you two get together? Does Leyan know?" Chu Gexing suddenly remembered this.
“Actually…” Chu Ge Xun Di’s expression suddenly became somewhat embarrassed.
"What?" Chu Gexing suddenly had a bad feeling.
“Actually…” Chu Ge Xun stretched out his fingers and pointed them together.
"You wouldn't..." Chu Gexing's eyes flickered as he asked, "You haven't... told her you have feelings for her yet, have you?"
“Yes…” Chu Ge Xun replied.
Chu Gexing looked up and rolled his eyes.
Chu Ge Xun hurriedly said, "But I feel like she can sense it." His expression was more serious than ever before.

Chu Gexing glanced at the idiot beside him and felt quite a headache coming on.
However, it's not appropriate for him, as the older brother, to teach such matters between men and women step by step.
So he reached out and patted Chu Gexun's shoulder, offering perfunctory encouragement: "Okay, then you can continue to wait until she can feel it before telling you."
Chu Ge couldn't help but back away, asking as she went, "Brother, didn't you tell me anything to be careful about?"
Chu Gexing said, "I think you have great potential. Go and try to achieve it bravely."
He half-dragged Chu Gexun to the door and gently pushed him out.
Chu Gexun jumped out of the door, then suddenly realized something, turned around abruptly and said with a smile, "I forgot, brother, you have no experience at all, why would I come to ask you?"
Chu Gexing froze, standing still without moving.
Chu Ge glanced at him and said, "I'm afraid that if my brother comes back with a wife first, he'll be jealous."
Chu Gexing laughed dismissively and said calmly, "Are you crazy, kid? Do you believe that my women could line up from the Nine Gates Governor's Mansion all the way to the city gate?"
Chu Ge Xun sneered, "Yes, of course I believe you, but unfortunately, none of them can become my sister-in-law."
Chu Gexing's expression changed, and he raised his voice, saying, "You brat, you've grown wings and dare to spout nonsense here! Get out of here! Do you believe I'll beat you up?"
Chu Gexun knew he was just a paper tiger whose sore spot had been touched, but he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't actually attack him. So he quickly ran down the steps, shouting as he ran, "Getting angry out of embarrassment, always like this. Hehe, I knew it."
He moved quickly and soon ran out of the yard.
After he left, in the center of the room, Chu Gexing turned around and looked at the pitch-black twilight, feeling only a profound loneliness and indescribable desolation. A cool breeze blew in from the open doorway, and although he was only slightly ill, he still felt a chill. He walked to the screen and pulled over an outer robe. In his movement, he accidentally bumped into something, and with a thud, the object fell to the ground.
Chu Gexing turned around and saw the umbrella lying silently on the ground, which was the same umbrella he had been looking at earlier.
Tang Leyan tiptoed to the door and looked inside.
Chu Zhen lowered his head, seemingly writing something on the table.
She leaned against the door, watching with a smile.
But after writing for a while, he stood up again. He turned around, as if looking for something on the desk behind him.
Tang Leyan smiled, bent over, and tiptoed in through the door like a cat, moving towards him.
Just as she was about to cover his eyes with her hands, she heard him say, "Don't be silly."
Tang Leyan was startled, straightened up, and lowered her hands. She glared hatefully at a corner of the room: "This time it's Gale? Hmph... how dare he ruin my plans."
Chu Zhen then turned around: "Le Yan!"
She blinked at him and asked, "What?" with a smile still on her face.
"I instructed Gale and the others to notify me immediately as soon as you arrive."
"That's really not fun at all." Tang Leyan sighed, frowned slightly, and crossed her arms behind her head.
Chu Zhen looked at her utterly disappointed and listless expression and said, "You're with me all day long, so there's nothing you can do about it. If someone else sees you like this, it won't be good."
Le Yan was taken aback, lowered her hands, and asked, "What's wrong? Did someone say something to you?"
Seeing the slight displeasure on her face, Chu Zhen could only comfort her, saying, "No, it's just that I'm having some concerns."
"Why would you think that?" she asked.
Chu Zhen was taken aback: Yes, why would you think that?
"You..." Tang Leyan looked at him. Suddenly she asked, "Do you hate me?"
"How could that be!" Chu Zhen frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Then why do you say that?"
"Leyan, I'm only thinking of you."
"Thinking of me? Think of what?" She raised an eyebrow and leaned closer to ask.
"You're a girl after all, I think... it's not really suitable for me..." he stammered, sweat beading on his nose. Why was he so nervous? Shouldn't he be the one with the right to be assertive?
"Hmm?" As expected, she didn't move, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she asked directly, "What are you thinking about?"
Shouldn't she call him Uncle Zhen?
Chu Zhen actually took a step back.
Then, realizing his own lack of confidence, he stopped.
Just then, Tang Leyan stepped forward again: "Speak."
She pressed her body directly against his.
Chu Zhen swayed slightly, but it was because she reached out and hooked her arm around his waist.
"Leyan." Chu Zhen whispered, then tried to back away again.
She held on tightly and wouldn't let go.
Chu Zhen felt like he was being beaten with a drum. He didn't know what was going on. He only felt that her eyes were extremely piercing, as if they could shatter him into pieces, like a stone that had been weathered for thousands of years.
"Release the master." A low voice echoed inside the room.
The white-clad ninja silently slipped out from the corner of the room.
Chu Zhen felt a slight tightness in her chest.
Tang Leyan raised the corner of her mouth as if she were smiling, but said, "Uncle Zhen, do you hate me, or are you afraid of me?"
His grip loosened. Chu Zhen stumbled back two steps.
The ninja flashed forward and blocked her way.
This obvious act of hostility made Le Yan feel a sudden, slight pang in her heart.
She clenched her fist and looked at the person standing behind the ninja: "Fine, you don't need to answer. In that case, I'll leave."
She lowered her eyelids, turned around, and walked towards the door.
