Madam Yan's Matchmaking Pavilion for Men

44 Three Points to Note, A New Task

As soon as Madam Yan was sure that they were out of earshot, she started to grumble. "General Yu! Just what do you think you're doing? Do you want to give everything away to your mother? Didn't I say that this was a problem we would have trouble to deal with? I did say that I had a plan on how to take care of this but that is under the assumption that you don't make things even more difficult for me."

Yu Huang Rong gave her a confused look. "I don't know what you're talking about. Didn't I just accompany my mother and then followed you shortly to give you my thanks for arranging everything so well? You can hardly call that making trouble."

Madam Yan put a hand to her forehead but didn't continue to speak. Alright, people in love sometimes were like that. They wouldn't just lose their heart to the other person, no, they would also lose their brains somewhere and wouldn't be able to consider things from all perspectives afterward. She'd forgive him this once.

Anyway, if she wanted to scold him, she had to wait until they were behind closed doors. It wouldn't do for people to hear rumors that she was yelling at her customers. Then what would happen to her splendid reputation?

She shook her head and then motioned at the door to her study. "Get in there."

Yu Huang Rong happily obliged and went over to her table, sitting down with a smile. "I came to tell you that I already finished my part. I confessed my feelings to Zhang Shi Lan and he reciprocated so we're a couple now. So what's the next step?"

Madam Yan who had just wanted to scold him went over to the table as well and sat down, giving him a deep look.

"What?"

"I was just thinking that you're quite fast. I didn't expect that. Well, it's still good. That way, we have enough time to prepare everything else."

Yu Huang Rong almost heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, they would get to the point! "Then can you tell me what we're going to prepare? You have no idea how hard it was to wait the last few days."

Madam Yan raised her brows and crossed her legs, leaning back on her chair. "Now? While your mother is waiting in one of the rooms of my matchmaking pavilion? Have you completely lost your mind?"

Yu Huang Rong furrowed his brows. "What are you even saying? I just want to know what the next step is. Nothing more than that." Honestly, how long could it take to tell him?

"It is one that will take more than ten words to explain so it is not something that we can do while your mother is waiting here. You should go home now and then come back later when your mother has left."

"I don't think that's a good idea at all. I had a hard enough time coming up with an excuse to follow her today so I could come and share the news. Do you really think I'm able to come here without anybody noticing? If someone sees me coming to the matchmaking pavilion twice a day and my mother somehow finds out about that, then she will definitely know that something is up."

Madam Yan rubbed her forehead and sighed. "Couldn't you have thought about that earlier? You could've just come at a time when she isn't here."

Yu Huang Rong shook his head. "You're making it sound too easy. Anyway, I've already come with her. So ... Why don't you give me a quick rundown? Or at least try to come up with some way to contact me and tell me more. I mean there will be other times when I need to tell you what is happening, won't there? We should have some way to get in touch."

Madam Yan sighed again. Even though she still felt that he had made more trouble than he had helped with the way he had gone about this, General Yu was also right that he was already here and that it would be difficult to come to the matchmaking pavilion again if she didn't at least give him an excuse. Unfortunately, coming up with one this fast also wasn't easy. In that case, she could really only tell him her plan as concise as possible.
