Chapter 227: Methods of Asking for Advice

Qiao Yu thought about it and nodded, "Indeed. Right now, we still have to focus on the Branmai project."

Even if they had the bargaining chip that the 331st Legion was drugged, it would not be as powerful and shocking as the Bran Wheat project.

"Okay, that's settled then." Qiao Yu touched his chin. "The store will be open soon. Once Li Pingwei falls, you'll find a way to connect us with Commander Xie."

Yu Qingchuan ate his meal without saying a word, but nodded to show that he understood.

After Qiao Yu finished giving his instructions, he propped up his chin and looked at Yu Qingchuan with a playful look, then called out softly, "Achuan..."

Yu Qingchuan paused chewing and looked at Qiao Yu in horror, "What...what are you doing?"

Every time Qiao Yu called him "Achuan", something bad was going to happen.

Qiao Yu looked at him with a smile, "Since you are so dedicated to your work, I will tell you a piece of news."

"What news?"

"Huayue is going out to look for a house."

Yu Qingchuan's expression froze. "Did she tell you that today?"

"Yeah." Qiao Yu nodded.

"Oh." Yu Qingchuan also nodded.

"Is that the end?" Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow. "You're not going to try to keep me?"

Yu Qingchuan swallowed the food in his mouth, pursed his lips, and said hesitantly: "Boss, tell me the truth, do you want to keep Huayue?"

Yu Qingchuan has always been very clear about his own positioning.

Although he has successfully joined the team, he is a latecomer after all.

Everyone in this team is better than him. Even if he has the identity of a researcher, it is just icing on the cake for Qiao Yu and others.

He believes in Qiao Yu, Cheng Sinian, and Hua Yue, but this does not mean that Qiao Yu and Cheng Sinian will definitely believe in Hua Yue.

He is now alone and without a father or mother. His only concern is Qiao Yu and his brothers and sisters who have been through thick and thin with him.

To him, Qiao Yu and the others were the family members who filled the void left by Dr. Yu and Mrs. Yu. It was an inseparable family bond.

Although he still has feelings for Huayue, it is not to the point where he cannot let go.

If he had to choose between the two, he would choose Qiao Yu and the others without hesitation.

So if Qiao Yu and Cheng Sinian really can't accept Hua Yue, then he would rather end this fruitless and ignorant love as soon as possible.

When Qiao Yu saw Yu Qingchuan's determined and serious expression, she understood that he really cared about her answer to this question.

So Qiao Yu also stopped smiling, sat up straight, and said seriously: "To be honest, I don't know much about Hua Yue. But as of now, I don't hate her."

"But if I'm talking about letting her join the team, I might need to observe for a while."

When Yu Qingchuan heard Qiao Yu say this, his eyes suddenly lit up, "So what you mean is... if Huayue is willing to stay, you can also allow her to stay with us for a while longer, right?"

"Yeah." Qiao Yu propped up his chin with his hand again, a playful smile on his face again, "After all, I still care about the lifelong events of my team members."

"I can't help it. I'm a kind-hearted and humane boss!"

Yu Qingchuan's ears flushed upon hearing this, but he still smiled gratefully, "Thank you, Boss! Who says not? Our Boss is the most beautiful, kind-hearted, and humane."

Qiao Yu smacked her lips. "Why do I always feel like you're not saying good things when you praise me like that?"

"And..." Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Are you admitting that you are interested in Hua Yue?"

Yu Qingchuan's ears turned even redder after hearing what Qiao Yu said. He lowered his eyelids and whispered, "I just admire her very much..."

"Oh my!" Cheng Sinian moved his chair to sit next to Yu Qingchuan and put his arm around his shoulders. "Our Ah Chuan is finally getting his wish!"

"What do you mean by appreciation or not? Isn't this just another way of saying like?" Cheng Sinian patted Yu Qingchuan's shoulder. "Why are you shy? Let me tell you, when it comes to getting married, being shy is useless."

Yu Qingchuan glanced at him sideways, and said with a forced smile, "In terms of shamelessness, I am indeed ashamed of myself."

"Tsk." Cheng Sinian frowned and smacked his lips. "How can you talk like that, kid? What do you mean by shameless? This is called taking the initiative, do you know?"

"Don't think I'm kidding! With Huayue's face, there must be a lot of men chasing her. If you don't take the initiative, you won't even have a place to cry when your wife runs away!"

Yu Qingchuan couldn't help but blush when he thought of Hua Yue's charming face.

After a long silence, Yu Qingchuan pursed his lips and suddenly asked in a low voice: "Then...how do I take the initiative?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Sinian opened his eyes wide in surprise.

He had indeed intended to tease Yu Qingchuan just now, but he didn't expect that this kid would actually come to him to learn from him.

Cheng Sinian was in a good mood and was about to open his mouth to talk to him when he saw Yu Qingchuan waving his hands at him and muttering, "Forget it, forget it. I won't ask you. You are just using some shameless tricks."

After saying that, Yu Qingchuan turned his head and looked at Jiang Zhan, "Jiang Zhan, let me ask you, how did you pursue Qiao Yu? Or what preparations did you make?"

Jiang Zhan, who was wiping Qiao Yu's mouth, paused when he heard this. He tilted his head and thought carefully, "Preparation? I built a cage for A Yu."

"? Cage?" Yu Qingchuan's expression froze. Did he hear it wrong? Or did he misunderstand it?

Cheng Sinian looked at Yu Qingchuan's dull eyes, snorted softly, and said in a mocking tone: "Don't worry, you didn't hear it wrong, and you didn't understand it wrongly. You actually dared to learn from Jiang Zhan's experience. Don't you know that they are both sick?"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yu grabbed the chopsticks from the table and threw them at him, "Who are you calling sick?"

Cheng Sinian reacted very quickly and dodged the chopsticks. He curled his lips in anger but dared not say anything.

He is not wrong!

Humph, how violent!

Jiang Zhan was not very angry, after all, he was indeed sick.

"I don't know what happened in my previous life. But in this life, Ayu came to me on her own." Jiang Zhan continued to recall, "If there was any other preparation, it was that on Ayu's seventeenth birthday, I gave her a wooden sculpture that I carved myself."

"But Ayu didn't like it. When I gave it to her, she smashed the box to pieces."

Jiang Zhan seemed to be lost in memories, his eyes slightly confused.

Qiao Yu and Cheng Sinian both looked as if they had suddenly understood something. However, they understood different things.

What Qiao Yu was thinking was: It turns out that on her seventeenth birthday, Jiang Zhan took her into the car just to give her a wooden sculpture.

But what Cheng Sinian understood was that the wood sculpture was prepared for Qiao Yu’s seventeenth birthday.
