Chapter 265 - Did Li Yan Fall for You at First Sight?
Chapter 265: Did Li Yan Fall for You at First Sight?
Eldest Master Qin quietly gestured to Second Master Qin and Fourth Master Qin. After the two of them stopped the others, he looked at Chu Luo, who was standing beside Li Yan, and said:
“This must be CEO Li’s girlfriend. I see that you’re quite young. Why don’t you go play with the youngsters? There are many youngsters here tonight. There are also a few girls in our family. They must have something in common with you.”
Li Yan didn’t agree immediately. Instead, he tilted his head to look at Chu Luo. “Luoluo, do you want to play with them?”
Chu Luo nodded at him.
Li Yan gestured to Qin Ming. “Send two bodyguards to follow.”
“Yes.”
Qin Ming used his communicator to call two bodyguards in.
This shocked everyone.
Wasn’t there a rumor some time ago that Chu Luo had gotten intimate with his shadow and that he was furious?
Why was he so “gentle” towards Chu Luo today?
Could it be that Master Li was doing this on purpose to test everyone using Chu Luo?
While everyone was gossiping, the people from the Duanmu family passed the two masters of the Qin family and walked over.
The person who came today was the Third Master of the Duanmu family, Duanmu Hui.
Duanmu Hui also brought a woman in her twenties. This woman was also very beautiful. She was delicate and elegant, giving people a good impression.
As soon as Duanmu Hui walked over, he laughed and raised his glass at Li Yan.
“Li Yan, if you’re worried about Little Chu, coincidentally, my niece, Lan Lan, came with me today. Lan Lan is also a student at Imperial University. She’s in her third year this year. Why don’t you let Lan Lan accompany Little Chu to play? Both of them are students at Imperial University. There must be something for them to talk about.”
As soon as Duanmu Hui finished speaking, Lan Lan walked up to Chu Luo and greeted her as if she wanted to be friends with her. “Chu Luo, your performance in the Cybersecurity Competition finals a few days ago was amazing. Can you tell me how you managed to build such a difficult defense network alone?”
Chu Luo glanced at Lan Lan, who was obviously not interested in computers but was still acting very interested. She didn’t say anything.
Since the Duanmu family had already done so, the Qin family definitely wouldn’t fall behind.
Eldest Master Qin said to a gentle and dignified young woman standing beside him, “Little Ya, take Little Chu and play with your sister and the other girls.”
Qin Ya was 28 years old this year and was already married. She was quite proficient in dealing with interpersonal relationships. She nodded at Eldest Master Qin and walked over with a smile. “Sister Chu, let’s go over there and play. There are a few girls from your school today. You gals will definitely have a lot to talk about.”
After Qin Ya finished speaking, she deliberately looked up at Lan Lan and said with a smile, “Miss Lan, let’s go together.”
Lan Lan: “Sure.”
Chu Luo quietly glanced at the glint that flashed across their eyes at the same time. The corners of her lips curled up and she nodded.
The three of them walked towards the girls.
“Xiangxiang, aren’t you going over with Third Sister and the others?”
As soon as the three of them left, Qin Zhao came behind Qin Xiang to prod her.
Qin Xiang glanced at the three people who had already walked over. She originally wanted to say no, but just as she was about to speak, she saw Qin Xin (the tenth sister) and Qin Meng (the eleventh sister) walking over. After thinking for a while, Qin Xiang nodded and walked over.
The moment Chu Luo was brought into the circle and was surrounded by this group of youngsters, everyone quietly sized her up.
Qin Ya smiled and said to everyone, “This is Chu Luo’s first time joining our circle. Don’t bully her.”
Lan Lan immediately chimed in, “Chu Luo is also my junior. If anyone bullies her, I’ll be the first to object.”
The other women, who had had a “wait-and-see” attitude, laughed and said:
“How can we possibly bully Chu Luo?”
“Chu Luo, you’re too amazing. I’m also studying at Imperial University and learning French. I heard that you also chose French. When the time comes, we’ll be sisters in the same specialization.”
“Chu Luo’s gown tonight is really beautiful. Judging from the material, it’s a custom-made dress under Blazing Glory’s brand?”
“Chu Luo, your skin looks good. I heard that you participated in the Cybersecurity Competition for three days and two nights a few days ago. You stayed up so late, but your skin actually don’t look dull at all. What cosmetics are you using?”
“That’s right, that’s right. Chu Luo, what cosmetics do you use exactly?”
Everyone was interested in the cosmetics she used.
Only Qin Xiang, who had just walked over, sneered.
Chu Luo glanced at everyone and a glint flashed across her eyes. She curled her lips and said, “I used the cosmetics that I recently advertised in ‘Battle of Lightyears.’”
“Really? I heard that the Phoenix Corporation’s cosmetics products are especially good. So this is true?”
“Me too. Initially, I was a little worried about these newly launched cosmetics. I’ll buy a set too.”
“It’s a pity that the main cosmetics company of the Phoenix Corporation is in the US and it hasn’t opened a branch in the empire. I heard from a friend of mine in there that this cosmetics product can only be bought by their upper-class society. If anyone else wants to buy a set, they can only book it in advance.”
“Then I’ll get my friends in the US to buy one set for me to try.”
…
There was no end to this cosmetics topic.
Qin Xiang felt a little impatient and interrupted everyone’s conversation to change the topic. “Recently, the chrysanthemums in our backyard have bloomed especially beautifully. Why don’t we go to our backyard to play?”
Women didn’t have much resistance to flowers to begin with. When Qin Xiang said that, everyone agreed.
Everyone walked towards the back garden.
Nights in the middle of August were slightly cold.
The moment this group of young women walked into the Qin family’s backyard, they were stunned by the various famous items under the street lamp.
Everyone walked towards the middle of the garden.
Qin Xiang, who was deliberately walking at the back, stopped the two bodyguards behind Chu Luo. “We’ll be having some girl talk later. You two men, don’t follow us.”
“It’s our duty to follow Miss Chu.”
“We’re just walking around in this garden. You can just stand here. Do you think anyone will dare to do anything to Chu Luo under your noses?”
The two bodyguards glanced at Chu Luo, who was a few meters away. They happened to see her gesture, so they stopped without saying anything.
Satisfied, Qin Xiang followed.
Everyone talked about how beautiful the chrysanthemums here were as they walked. Qin Xin and Qin Meng, who did not participate in the conversation, walked to Chu Luo’s side.
Qin Xin grinned and asked Chu Luo, “Chu Luo, can I ask you a question?”
Chu Luo glanced at the naive and romantic Qin Xin and nodded. “Sure.”
“How did you and Li Yan meet?”
The others stared at Chu Luo.
Chu Luo said casually, “At a banquet?”
Qin Meng immediately replied, “Could it be that Li Yan fell in love with you at first sight?”
Chu Luo: “It’s possible…”
The other two women standing at the side replied:
“No wonder Master Li is so good to Chu Luo.”
“That’s right. I’ve always thought that Master Li was cold to everyone. When I heard Master Li send two bodyguards to protect you just now, I guessed that you must be different in Li Yan’s heart.”
Chu Luo smiled and didn’t reply.
Qin Xin and Qin Meng looked at each other.
Qin Xin continued to ask curiously with an innocent and romantic expression, “But Li Yan looks too cold. Chu Luo, aren’t you afraid of him when you interact with him usually?”
Chu Luo glanced into her eyes and nodded. “Yes.”
This man sometimes made her almost unable to get up the next day. He was too scary!
Qin Meng’s eyes flickered and she asked, “Chu Luo, tell us what Li Yan is like in private. We’ve always been curious.”
“Yes, yes. Is he as cold as he usually is?”
“And he… It’s a little inconvenient for him to move. Are you having a hard time?”
As Chu Luo listened to Qin Xin and Qin Meng deliberately lead the conversation, she sneered in her heart and pursed her lips tightly with an expression that said, “I can’t say much.”
Qin Xiang had seen Chu Luo’s other side last night and knew that she was pretending. She sneered in her heart and thought of her goal. She walked to Qin Ya’s side and whispered to her:
“Third Sister, don’t forget our goal tonight. Think of a way to lure the others away. Tenth Sister and I will deal with her.”
Qin Ya nodded at her and clapped her hands. When everyone looked at her, she smiled and said, “Sisters, let’s go admire the chrysanthemums. If anyone likes them, you can get the servants to bring back scissors and a flower basket to make tea.”
Qin Ya’s words were very tempting. Many people agreed to cut the flowers.
Soon, most of the people gathered around dispersed.
Other than Chu Luo and the women from the Qin family, Lan Lan was also left behind.
Qin Ya smiled and asked, “Why didn’t Lan Lan go play with them?”
Lan Lan smiled and said, “Chu Luo and I hit it off well at first sight. I want to invite Chu Luo to come with me.”
“Pfft…” Qin Meng was the first to fail to hold herself back.
Qin Meng’s expression changed immediately. She said in a mocking tone, “There are only us here now. Why are you still pretending? Lan Lan, it’s not like we don’t know why you’re here today.”
Lan Lan had an innocent expression. “What are you talking about? Why don’t I understand?”
Qin Xin: “Hehe, Sister Lan Lan, why don’t you go play with my third sister? We have something to whisper to Chu Luo.”
Lan Lan smiled and shook her head. “That won’t do. I promised my uncle to take care of Chu Luo.”
Qin Xin and Qin Meng became a little impatient.
Qin Ya smiled and said, “How about this? Lan Lan will accompany me to get a flower basket. You and Chu Luo can go and cut the flowers later.”
Lan Lan’s goal tonight was to observe Chu Luo carefully and think of a way to foil the Qin women’s plan to seduce Master Li. How could she agree to leave with Qin Ya?
