Lu Zheng wore a smile, pretending not to notice Du Yueyao's unease, and said with a smile to Madam Du, "Thank you for your concern, Madam. I already have a fiancée."
Madam Du's expression remained unchanged, completely at ease, and she nodded with a smile, saying, "I said that a young man like you, full of talents, couldn't possibly be living alone. So it turns out you already have a beautiful betrothed."
Du Yueyao hesitated for a moment, having already suppressed her earlier discomfort, but wanted to speak yet didn't know how to begin.
Madam Du decisively asked on behalf of her daughter, "May I ask which family's young lady is fortunate enough to have won your favor, young master?"
"I am the fortunate one to have caught her interest," Lu Zheng said with a smile. "My fiancée's family lives next door, her surname is Liu, and they have been physicians for generations."
"Ah, so they are childhood sweethearts!" Madam Du suddenly understood.
