Upon hearing the words of the brothel keeper, Lu Chen came back to his senses and, smiling, said to her, "She'll stay, the others can leave."
Seeing that Lu Chen had taken a liking to Zhou Youyou, the brothel keeper immediately addressed the other women in the room, "All of you come out, lest you ruin Master Lu's enjoyment in elegance."
Once her words fell, the women in the room filed out one after another, and afterward, even the brothel keeper turned to leave, closing the door on her way out.
At that moment, only Lu Chen and Zhou Youyou were left in the room.
Zhou Youyou had already reacted by now, but she remained anxious and uneasy, very worried that Lu Chen might discern her mysterious identity. Of course, that was only one aspect; more unsettling was that sense of familiarity.
Seeing Zhou Youyou standing motionless by the door, Lu Chen asked, "What's wrong? You seem very afraid of me, standing by the door all the time."
