Chapter 205: Small-minded

When Lu Qian heard Cheng Yi's words, he raised his eyebrows helplessly, "How did you know?"

Cheng Yi narrowed his eyes and smiled, his smile was gentle and doting, "I guessed it."

"Noodles are coming~"

Before we had been chatting for long, the old lady came out from the kitchen carrying two bowls of steaming hot noodles.

Lu Qian looked at the shiny noodles in front of him. His hungry stomach couldn't hold back any more and he started eating impatiently.

"Grandma, how late are you open?"

Halfway through the meal, Lu Qian felt a little full and started chatting with the old lady about family matters.

The old lady sat on the bench nearby, smiling kindly, "It's getting colder now, so I'll open a little later so the kids can have a bite of hot food after their evening self-study classes, and then I'll close it."

Lu Qian felt a little embarrassed when she heard this: "Are we disturbing Grandma's rest?"

"Of course not," Grandma smiled and waved her hand, "I would have to clean up even if you didn't come, just the same."

"Was the menu on the wall written by students from the school?"

Grandma smiled and nodded, “The children in school are all very nice. Since I can’t read, they help me write the menu.

I don't have any children, but those children just surround me and call me grandma. Many of them even come back to see me many years after graduation.

Many, like you two, came back with their boyfriends or girlfriends, saying they wanted to show me their love."

When grandma said this, her face was filled with happiness and pride, as if that was her own child.

Lu Qian looked at Cheng Yi with a smile, the tenderness in her eyes was warmer than the light.

After paying the bill, while his grandmother was taking the bowls to the kitchen, Lu Qian stretched out his hand towards Cheng Yi, motioning him to hand over his wallet.

Cheng Yi handed it over with a confused look on his face.

Lu Qian pulled out a stack of money, made a "hush" gesture to Cheng Yi, then ran to the counter like a thief and secretly stuffed the thick stack of money into the cash drawer.

Then, while grandma was still there, he pulled Cheng Yi out and ran, shouting, "Grandma, we're leaving!"

"Hey! Walk slowly!"

Grandma shouted from the back kitchen to the front, but didn't see Lu Qian's little movement.

The two men ran all the way back to the car like thieves afraid of being caught.

Cheng Yi looked at Lu Qian with interest, "Why did you think of leaving money for that grandma?"

Lu Qian calmed down her breath from running and explained to Cheng Yi with gestures, "I saw a black and white photo frame on the bar. The person on it should be grandma's husband. The frame is old but very clean, and the small flowers in front of the frame are still so fresh. Grandma must love her husband very much.

The fact that the children in this school are still willing to come back to see her after so many years proves that grandma is a very good person.

You don't need money anyway, so you can leave that money to grandma to help her improve her life, or just to make her happy."

The smile on Cheng Yi's lips deepened unconsciously. He raised his hand and rubbed Lu Qian's soft long hair, showing his endless doting.

"But you emptied my wallet like this. What should I do if I have no money?"

Lu Qian pouted, "Wow, you told me you have no money, do you think I believe you?"

And even if Cheng Yi has no money, he can still get around with his fame, right?

"No matter what," Cheng Yi came forward shamelessly, smiling even more ostentatiously, "You have to return it."

“…”

Lu Qian took a deep breath, his cheeks puffed up with anger.

Looking at Cheng Yi's smile, the "yet" he said was definitely not that simple.

"Why is it still..."

Cheng Yi pulled the seatbelt over and buckled it for Lu Qian, then pecked her on the lips. "That depends on whether you want to admit it yourself or let me say it."

“…”

Lu Qian rolled her eyes in her heart. She thought that the atmosphere was warm enough and Cheng Yi wouldn't have those thoughts in his mind. She was naive.

Cheng Yi looked at Lu Qian's distressed expression and laughed heartily. His deep laughter echoed in the car, making Lu Qian's ears itchy and numb, and his heart burning.

Cheng Yi put away his smile and said playfully, "Tell me the truth, what did you two want to do by running out here?"

Lu Qian thought he had explained everything clearly enough, but he didn't expect that this tyrant would still not give in.

She sighed and began to tell in detail all the plans and implementation processes of her and Qu Le.

…

"That's the thing...that's the thing."

Lu Qian sat in the passenger seat, poking his fingers nervously.

"I just wanted to bring Lele here to experience it..."

Moreover, Lu Qian also missed campus life to some extent. After all, her university life had just begun.

Cheng Yi's brows did not relax, and he still looked like someone owed him a million or eighty thousand.

Lu Qian's face twitched twice, and she raised her hand and made a swearing gesture, "...I swear, I didn't do anything with other men."

Hearing this, Cheng Yi had some reaction, but it was obviously not a good one.

He raised his eyebrows coldly, "What else do you want?"

Just now, I met that guy who tried to chat up Cheng Yi in the bar. If Lu Qian hadn't stopped Cheng Yi, in that rage, Cheng Yi would have really pulled out a gun and shot him.

Lu Qian refused bluntly: "No! No! What can I think? I didn't think about anything!"

What else can she think about beside this man...

Cheng Yi's expression softened a little when he heard Lu Qian's righteous refusal.

Lu Qian turned sideways, smiling flatteringly, "Don't be angry..."

Cheng Yi snorted and chuckled, glanced at Lu Qian casually, and said nothing.

Lu Qian saw that Cheng Yi's expression was no longer so ugly, and blinked obediently.

"You're not angry anymore?"

Cheng Yi asked calmly, "Am I petty?"

"No, no, no, not at all! You are a very magnanimous person! You are a very generous person!"

...What else could Lu Qian say? She couldn't just say, "Am I still petty?" If you're not petty, who else would be?

There was a faint smile on Cheng Yi's face, and he seemed very satisfied with Lu Qian's efforts to please him.

"Do you want to go back to school?"

Then, Cheng Yi spoke and asked this question.

Lu Qian raised her hand to her lips and nodded thoughtfully, "I do want to go to school, but I probably can't go back, right?"

After all, Sui Tang had erased her personal information, and given her current relationship with Cheng Yi, it wouldn't be easy for her to stay in the mainland to study, right?

"Forget about going back," Cheng Yi responded firmly, "but if you want to go to school, I can find a school for you."

When Lu Qian heard Cheng Yi's words, his eyes lit up in an instant, "Really?"

Cheng Yi nodded lazily.

"Great!" But Lu Qian thought carefully, "Then where do I go to school?"

"We'll discuss this when we get back. We have to stay in mainland China for a while," Cheng Yi slammed on the brakes and stopped the car. "We can't go back for now."

"Can't go back?" Lu Qian looked puzzled. "Why?"

Cheng Yi raised his hands to support the steering wheel, looked helplessly in Lu Qian's direction, and his tone was also helpless.

"Sui Tang was captured by the Sui family."
