Chapter 309 Robbery

Louis looked at Lu Qian's profile, and the light in her eyes shone into his vision completely, so firm and so pure.

It seemed as if there was such a close relationship between these two people that not even a trace of air or a drop of water could get in.

He moved his mouth, but swallowed all the words he wanted to say back into his throat.

"...Dean Xia Lite said that he would like to invite you and Dean Jiang over next month. I came here to tell you this."

Lu Qian smiled and nodded in agreement, "Excuse me, could you please pass on the message for me?"

"There's also some experimental data that Dean Sharit entrusted me with," Louis pulled a stack of documents from his bag. "I'll fax the rest to you when I get to Germany."

The two continued to chat about the research progress, as if the unpleasant conversation had not just happened.

After a while, the waiter came over with the coffee Louis ordered, smiled politely at the two of them and said, "You two, we have a couple's event in our store today. You can participate in the buy one get one free promotion for your meals."

Louis took the coffee with a smile and was about to speak.

"Sorry, we are not a couple." Lu Qian refused bluntly.

The waiter smiled and said, "Haha... It doesn't matter if it's not, miss. You don't need to provide any proof. Just..."

"No, thank you."

The waiter blushed in embarrassment, apologized hastily and left.

Louis looked at the waiter's back as he left and sighed, "You really don't give me any chance at all."

Lu Qian gave Louis a cold look and said, "Didn't I tell you? Only say these words to the girl you like, don't tell anyone else."

Louis took a sip of coffee and chatted: “What if I like you?”

“…”

Lu Qian couldn't believe his ears, frowned, and looked at Louis in disbelief.

Louis smiled faintly, still gentlemanly, "A beautiful lady is a good match for a gentleman. Can't I like you?"

Lu Qian retracted the surprised expression and lowered his eyes, "Then I'm sorry, I think I will disappoint you."

Whether Louis was sincere or just teasing out of his "gentlemanly way", she had no way of responding.

Louis still insisted: "Do you like him that much?"

Lu Qian looked at Louis, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her bright eyes narrowed into a smile.

She didn't answer, but the smile on her gentle and lovely face was so sweet and natural.

If you don’t like it, or if you don’t like it enough, how can you smile so happily?

Louis frowned, and the light in his eyes dimmed.

He picked up the coffee cup, but it was just a gesture to cover up his disappointment. "Then he is really lucky."

"What a coincidence," Lu Qian smiled even more deeply, "Someone else has said that too."

"jingle--"

The wind chimes at the entrance of the cafe rang, and the cold winter wind blew in.

For some reason, Lu Qian subconsciously looked back.

When he saw the person standing at the door, Lu Qian's eyes were filled with sparkling joy.

He was wearing a black coat, looking wild and unrestrained. The gray wool scarf around his collar was put on by her in the morning, which added a touch of nobility to his temperament.

That perfect face was so evil and alluring that it made people tremble with fear.

Almost the moment he walked in, everyone in the cafe let out exclamations of varying degrees of surprise.

He walked closer and closer until their breaths intertwined.

Lu Qian felt a force on his waist, and the man who was sitting on the chair the previous second was hugged in a strong embrace the next second.

"I'm back little one."

The sweet smile on her face grew even more intense, and she looked at him sweetly, "You talk like you've been gone for a long time."

It's only been seven or eight hours.

Cheng Yi scratched Lu Qian's nose lovingly, "One day without seeing you feels like three autumns. We've been apart for an autumn."

"Pfft..." Lu Qian couldn't help laughing, "You're so unsophisticated."

Cheng Yi raised his eyebrows, looking displeased: "You don't like it?"

Lu Qian gently put her arm around his waist and said, "Of course I like it."

Lu Qian knew that he was acting like a show-off on purpose, but she didn't come to see Louis behind his back, so there was no reason for him to be jealous.

Lu Qian looked up at him and asked, "Have you finished your work?"

"No."

"Then why did you come to see me?"

Cheng Yi smiled and reached out, tapping Lu Qian's forehead. "Someone is causing me to lose focus and fail to handle the situation."

Lu Qian covered his forehead and stuck out his tongue angrily.

She broke free from Cheng Yi's embrace, picked up the data file on the table, and shook it towards Louis. "Then I'll go back first. I wish you good luck in your studies and career in Germany."

Cheng Yi hugged Lu Qian and left without even glancing at Louis.

"Return to the mansion."

Cheng Yi held Lu Qian in his arms and got into the car, saying indifferently.

Then, he glanced through the half-open window of the sports car at a man in a black suit who was waiting outside the car.

The man immediately understood and nodded respectfully, "Take care, sir."

In the evening, Lu Qian had just finished taking a shower and came out of the bathroom when he heard the sound of his cell phone vibrating.

She picked up her phone and looked at it, but her expression became increasingly confused.

Cheng Yi leaned against the head of the bed and couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Lu Qian's cute little face twisted into a frown.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Qian looked at the phone screen and blinked in surprise. "Louis just sent me a message saying... he was robbed on the way back to the academy...?"

Cheng Yi raised his eyebrows lazily, "Oh?" There was a hint of excitement in his tone besides confusion.

Lu Qian pursed his lips and sighed heavily, "Hmm... He said... his wallet, keys, and even his clothes were taken?! Those guys thought the money was too little and beat him up."

Cheng Yi's lips curled up into a wicked, lazy smile. He clasped his hands behind his head and squinted his eyes comfortably. "The security in Italy has never been very good."

Lu Qian shook his head helplessly and threw his phone onto the table. "He told me that he probably won't be leaving for Germany until next week."

The man leaning on the bed naturally hugged Lu Qian into his arms and said, "Don't mention other men at this time."

He smiled wickedly, his low tone extremely ambiguous.

Lu Qian blushed when she heard this and pushed his chest away forcefully, "When?"

Cheng Yi didn't say much. He picked up Lu Qian's soft body and placed it between his legs.

"Ah...!" Lu Qian exclaimed softly, and his face turned redder in an instant.

Cheng Yi laughed even more wantonly, and his hand on Lu Qian continued to tighten, "Little thing, you obviously want it too."

She raised her head and looked at Cheng Yi's anxious eyes, but she couldn't say anything to refute him.

She felt the force on her body gradually increasing, so she had to bury her face shyly in the man's arms.
