Chapter 106 Take Care of Your Qingqing

At the poker table, Li Qingqing continued to win big, but Shen Lu lost badly.

This is clearly my first time playing Texas Hold'em, so why don't I have any so-called beginner's luck? My luck is terrible.

So Shen Lu, who was not convinced, shouted towards the living room without thinking:

"Mr. Lu, please take care of your Qingqing! She's been possessed by the God of Gamblers!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole room became quiet in an instant, and everyone's eyes turned to Shen Lu, and even the air was silent at this time.

The chips in Li Qingqing's hand fell onto the table with a dull "bang".

Lu Yu was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. He carefully poked Shen Lu's arm and reminded him in an inaudible voice, almost ventriloquism: "Qingqing is my girlfriend now, you are wrong!"

Li Qingqing appeared here today as Lu Yu's girlfriend, but Shen Lu's words just now were obviously shouted at Lu Yan in the sofa area. For a moment, everyone in the room looked as if they had smelled some shocking gossip and stared at the person involved.

At this time, Lu Yan was sitting lazily on the sofa, as if what happened at the card table had nothing to do with him. He was even secretly happy that Shen Lu subconsciously still regarded Li Qingqing as his woman.

Shen Lujing came back to her senses instantly after being reminded by Lu Yu, and she laughed awkwardly twice.

"Hahaha, the Mr. Lu I'm talking about is Lu Yu, don't misunderstand..."

As she spoke, she nudged Lu Yu with her shoulder and continued to make amends: "Lu Yu, aren't you interning at your family's company now? Have you forgotten that I often call you Mr. Lu in private?"

Lu Yu also laughed twice, and suddenly realized: "Ahahaha, yes, yes, Sister Lu just called me. I'm a little hard of hearing recently, so she called a little louder."

Everyone was about to believe it, but Cheng Yang, who was sitting opposite Shen Lu, added in a very tactless way: "But I just saw that Shen Lu was clearly shouting at that Mr. Lu."

He tilted his chin towards Lu Yan, and deliberately emphasized the word "that".

After he reminded them, the people around him also started to make a fuss.

"Yes, yes, Shen Lu, what you just said was obviously not directed at Lu Yu. Do you know any gossip? Tell it out so that we can all be happy together."

Shen Lu was almost pinching the cards in her hand. She glared at Cheng Yang calmly, her brain frantically thinking about how to explain her behavior.

Before coming to the villa in the western suburbs, Lu Yu had specifically told her that in order for Li Qingqing to feel comfortable getting along with Lu Yan, Lu Yu volunteered to pretend to be Li Qingqing's boyfriend and asked her not to let it slip.

But she forgot about this matter in her excitement, and even forgot that Li Qingqing and Lu Yan had broken up.

Just when Shen Lu and Lu Yu began to sweat on their foreheads, Qin Yichuang stood up.

"Don't you know that Lu Yan and Jiang Xueyao are already engaged? What are you all suspicious about?"

He scanned the people at the card table and warned coldly, "Don't spread rumors about other people's relationship with Lu Yan. Don't you know what kind of person Jiang Xueyao is? Don't let that little girl get hurt."

After these words were spoken, no one dared to make a commotion anymore.

The affairs of Qin Yichuang's sister were no secret in the upper circles of Haicheng, and everyone had occasionally heard of Jiang Xueyao's methods. However, it was inevitable that there were conflicts of interest between the various families, and as long as they did not involve fundamental interests, they would generally maintain superficial harmony.

But Jiang Xueyao has an unwritten rule that everyone has to be a little wary of, which is: no one can covet Lu Yan in the slightest, otherwise she will let them see her methods.

This is also the reason why Lu Yan has had so few girls pursuing him over the years, because they were all secretly eliminated by Jiang Xueyao.

After Qin Yichuang stood up, this little incident passed, but his words left a deep thorn in Li Qingqing's heart.

She had never heard of Qin Yiqing's affairs, but the warning in Qin Yichuang's words just now was already very clear. Jiang Xueyao was not someone to be trifled with.

The last time I was almost sold in Country F was because of Jiang Xueyao. Her evil behavior was really close to murder.

Li Qingqing felt secretly distressed when she thought about Lu Yan marrying such a person in the future.

She looked across the crowd at the man drinking alone on the sofa, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart.

How much he hoped that Lu Yan could be happy, even if it wasn't with him...

The game was still going on. Li Qingqing deliberately lost the game and left the table alone.

The villa was very big, and she found Qin Yichuang in the bathroom on the second floor.

When Qin Yichuang saw Li Qingqing standing quietly at the bathroom door waiting for him, he was startled and his voice became a little hoarse.

"You...you're looking for me?"

He unconsciously placed his hand on his chest.

The only limited interaction Qin Yichuang and Li Qingqing had was when he gave her to Lu Yan as a welcoming gift.

So now she has transformed herself into Lu Yan's white moonlight, which really makes him, the middleman, a little embarrassed.

Li Qingqing stood in a rather stiff position with her feet turned inwards, and it was obvious that she was in the same mood as him.

But after all, she did it voluntarily, so she can't blame anyone else.

Moreover, Qin Yichuang's words just now clearly meant to rescue her and protect her, so even if there had been unpleasantness between the two of them, it would not affect their normal relationship.

Li Qingqing stared at the floor with her eyelashes lowered, rubbing her hands together.

"Um...can I ask you something?"

Qin Yichuang was a little surprised, but then he thought it was reasonable for Li Qingqing to come to him. She probably wanted to ask some questions about Lu Yan.

Qin Yichuan took her to the study on the second floor. "It's more private here. You probably don't want others to hear the questions you want to ask."

Li Qingqing nodded gratefully, "Thank you."

After they sat down, Qin Yichuan asked her directly: "What do you want to ask about Lu Yan?"

Li Qingqing nodded seriously, "Yes."

"What do you want to ask?"

Qin Yichuang was now speaking to her very politely. He didn't have the image of a dandy boy that she had seen when they first met. Instead, he looked like a considerate older brother, which made Li Qingqing feel much more relaxed.

She thought about it carefully, not knowing how to ask the question properly. She hesitated for a long time before she spoke very unconfidently.

"...Does Lu Yan have to marry into the Jiang family?"

This sounded like she was jealous, so after a moment's thought she added:

"What I mean is... Jiang Xueyao is not worthy of him at all. Although I have no right to interfere in his marriage, but... Lu Yan deserves a better girl."

After saying that, she lowered her head. It would be even better if that girl was her...

Qin Yichuang stared at her with interest.

"The better girl you're talking about is you yourself?"
