Chapter 192 - Miss Chu, I’m Allergic to Peach
Chapter 192: Miss Chu, I’m Allergic to Peach
Chu Luo looked up from his embrace and smiled. “It’s just a small matter. Why should you get involved?”
Li Yan kissed her on the lips and pulled a long face. His expression told her that he was angry.
Chu Luo slapped him in dissatisfaction. “Don’t move your mouth or I’ll seal it.”
“With your mouth?”
“Dream on!”
The cold aura emanating from Li Yan’s body dissipated at these words.
However, Chu Luo said unhappily, “When did I become your kept mistress?”
“No. The one who is kept is me.” Li Yan’s voice carried a hint of a smile. “Do you want me to make a statement immediately?”
“How dare you!” Chu Luo broke free from his arms and disdainfully looked at him with a straight face.
Seeing her expression, Li Yan felt stifled and grabbed her.
This time, peach juice stained both of them.
Li Yan said, “I’ll get someone to bring you a few sets of clothes.”
Chu Luo looked at the time and suddenly didn’t want to stay here anymore. She said, “I’ll go back and change.”
With that, she walked out.
Li Yan grabbed her hand. “You’re not eating lunch? Today, the chef has prepared several dishes that you like.”
Li Yan then named a few dishes.
Chu Luo liked the dishes in the internal restaurants of the Blazing Glory Corporation. When she heard the dishes he had reported, she was a little conflicted.
Li Yan looked at her and guided her patiently. “The chef should be sending the food up soon. Do you really not want to eat anymore before leaving?”
Chu Luo pursed her lips and said reluctantly, “Alright, I’ll eat first.”
With that, she sat down.
Sure enough, in less than a minute, there was a knock on the office door.
Li Yan pressed on his Bluetooth earpiece and saw Secretary Tan push open the office door and push the food cart in.
As soon as lunch was served on the coffee table, Chu Luo couldn’t take her eyes off it.
After Secretary Tan brought out all the dishes from the dining car, she picked up her chopsticks and ate a piece of food, chewing it slowly.
Then, she narrowed his eyes and said, “Delicious.”
Li Yan scooped a bowl of soup for her and watched her eat. He found it a very enjoyable thing to watch.
Chu Luo tilted her head to look at Li Yan, who was watching her, and said, “Don’t look at me.”
Li Yan responded with an “Mm” and shifted his gaze to the food she was holding with her chopsticks. “I want to eat that piece you picked up.”
Chu Luo paused. She suddenly remembered the disdainful look on his face when they first ate together. She said in a disdainful tone, “No, you will stain my chopsticks with your saliva.”
Li Yan: “…”
After the meal, Chu Luo was satisfied while Li Yan’s face remained dark.
Chu Luo didn’t look at him. She hugged the box of peaches and said to him, “Give me your car keys. I’m going back.”
She even stretched out her hand.
Li Yan looked at the fair and tender hand before him and stood up.
“What are you doing?”
“The key is with Qin Ming. I’ll bring you to him.”
After saying that, he took the box in her hands and carried it with one arm as he walked towards the office door.
Chu Luo immediately followed.
When they walked out of the office, there was no one in the corridor. Everyone must have gone to eat by now.
Li Yan moved the Bluetooth earpiece on his ear and said, “Bring me the key to Luoluo’s car.”
It was unknown what Qin Ming said, but Li Yan put down his hand and said to Chu Luo, “Qin Ming is in the underground parking lot. I’ll send you down.”
The two of them walked to the elevator. Chu Luo ran in front of him and stopped him with a hand. “Don’t send me down. This is an exclusive elevator. Why do you still need to send me down?”
Then, she muttered, “If you have the time, you might as well go and rest so that you can work better in the afternoon. The money you earn is mine.”
Li Yan was delighted by her words. He quickly leaned forward and kissed her on the lips. Before she could react, he stood up and said, “Honey, I definitely won’t disappoint you and will work hard to earn money.”
Chu Luo’s lips moved. She snorted in a tsundere manner and opened the elevator door to enter.
When the elevator reached the underground parking lot, Chu Luo didn’t see Qin Ming and prepared to wait by the car.
However, she had just taken a few steps with the box when a few people walked over.
The group consisted of both men and women. The men were dressed in suits while the women were dressed meticulously. There was no Blazing Glory’s nameplate on their clothes. They were obviously from other companies.
When they walked over, they looked at Chu Luo at the same time.
Astonishment flashed across the men’s eyes.
As a woman walked past Chu Luo, she sized her up with a jealous and disdainful gaze.
After she passed Chu Luo, she whispered to her companion beside her, “I can tell at a glance that she’s here to promote peaches. She looks dirty, and she’s even thinking of walking to the underground parking lot to quietly go up. Maybe she was chased out by the security guards.”
Chu Luo looked down at the peach juice staining her body and frowned as she thought, ‘I don’t look like someone who promotes peaches. Besides… who would dare to buy these peaches?’
Just as she finished thinking this, the group of people stopped. Then, a man walked over and asked, “Hey, are you selling your peaches? I’ll buy two. How much are they?”
Chu Luo looked up at the person walking over and said unhappily, “Not selling.”
With that, she prepared to walk towards the car.
At this moment, the woman walked over. “Hey, you’re just a peach seller. We’re buying your peaches out of kindness, but you…”
“Which eye of yours saw that I was going to sell peaches?” Chu Luo interrupted her.
“Aren’t you? You’re wearing…”
The woman walked up to her rudely. She looked at her clothes and was about to speak, but halfway through, she suddenly stopped.
“Wearing what? My clothes aren’t bad either. They’re only stained with peach juice. Don’t tell me my clothes look like that of a peach seller?”
After two seconds, the woman suddenly raised her voice in disbelief. “You’re actually wearing a high-end custom-made brand under Blazing Glory!”
Chu Luo raised the corners of her lips and leaned towards her. “Wrong. I bought these clothes for hundreds of yuan on an online shopping platform.” ‘And I bought a lot of them.’
With that, she turned and left.
A woman’s disbelieving voice came from behind her. “That’s impossible. There’s no way I could be mistaken. You’re wearing Blazing Glory’s high-end custom-made brand. No one would dare to replicate their brand.”
Chu Luo only wanted to say, “Lunatic.”
She quickly walked out of the crowd’s line of sight. Just as she found the car that she was driving, Qin Ming strode over from the other side.
Qin Ming gave the key to Chu Luo.
Chu Luo took it and thought for a while before taking out a peach from the box and passing it to him. “It’s for you.”
Qin Ming thought: ‘If I eat the peach that you and Master brought back, I will freeze to death from Master’s cold aura.’
With a straight face, he said in refusal, “Miss Chu, I’m allergic to peaches.”
With that, he left.
Chu Luo: “…”
When Chu Luo drove the car to the city center, she realized that there was still a lot of traffic.
While being stuck somewhere, she took her phone and turned it on. Several missed calls immediately popped up.
They were all from Chu Zhengyang.
Chu Luo pursed her lips and pretended not to see them.
She knew very well what Chu Zhengyang was thinking.
A relative who would never think of her when something happened and who wanted to pull her back onto the right path when she was planning to be a little rebellious was really laughable.
Just as she was about to put down her phone, Boss Chen from the herbs shop called her.
Boss Chen informed her that the two herbs she wanted had arrived. He asked her if she wanted to retrieve them herself or have them sent to her.
Chu Luo glanced at the blocked traffic. If she was going back to the old city district, she would have to cross the entire city area to get to the north of the city. At the next intersection, she would be able to turn.
She said, “I’ll get them myself.”
When she arrived at the medicinal herb market, it was already more than an hour later.
After Chu Luo walked into the herb market wearing a mask, she realized that the owner of that rogue shop had changed.
She didn’t mind and went straight to Boss Chen’s shop.
However, when she reached the shop door, she saw many people surrounding it. Then, a few people who were cursing and looking fierce walked out.
Chu Luo thought that these people were here to cause trouble.
The crowd started discussing.
“Boss Chen is really unlucky to have such an older brother who likes to gamble. If this continues, his entire shop will be ruined.”
“What a pity. No matter how good Boss Chen is at earning money, he can’t compensate for the debt his brother owes from gambling.”
“Definitely. They come every few months. No matter how profitable the herbs are, they still need cash flow. I doubt if their shop has any more liquid funds.”
“What do you think his older brother is thinking? Boss Chen treated him so well, but he just had to be like that. Wouldn’t it be better if the brothers worked together to operate the herbs shop?”
…
The surrounding crowd dispersed after booing for a while.
Only then did Chu Luo walk into the shop.
It was obvious that the Chen family’s shop had been smashed by someone. The hall was filled with scattered herbs. At this moment, the shop assistant was clearing up the mess.
Chen Xuan sat at the counter, staring at something in a daze. At this moment, his expression was very calm, as if he didn’t care that the shop had been smashed.
When Chu Luo walked up to Chen Xuan, he snapped back to reality and looked at her.
“Miss Chu, you’re here. The herbs you wanted are ready. I’ll go get them for you.” After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the back.
Chen Xuan handed the two packets of herbs to Chu Luo and said in embarrassment, “It’s not convenient for me to attend to Miss Chu today, so I won’t be entertaining you. If you think the herbs here are to your liking, you can call me directly in the future.”
Chu Luo nodded and didn’t ask anything. She picked up the herbs and was about to leave.
However, just as she turned around, a man who resembled Chen Xuan but was much tougher than him strode in.
The man walked in and shouted rudely, “Chen Xuan, give me 50 million yuan immediately.”
