Chapter 46 I Have No Hands
Lin Yicheng felt a headache coming on whenever she saw her cousin. "What are you doing here?"
Lin Yiyi looked aggrieved. "I don't know anyone at that table. I can't find anyone to talk to."
Lin Yicheng knew exactly what kind of person her cousin was, so she didn't bother with her.
As soon as Lu Fengqing put down her empty cup, Lin Yiyi eagerly refilled it for her.
Qin Xuan, who had just picked up the juice bottle only to have it snatched away, looked at her empty hands and was speechless.
Lu Fengqing raised an eyebrow. "Thank you."
Gu Suixing handed the grilled vegetables to the left, and Lu Fengqing took them without hesitation.
One handed it over naturally, and the other received it naturally; they didn't even need to make eye contact.
Seeing this, Lin Yiyi said, "Miss Lu, why don't you do it yourself? Outdoor barbecues are more fun when you grill them yourself. If you want to eat pre-grilled food, you might as well go to a barbecue stall outside."
Most of the wealthy socialites present, unwilling to do anything themselves, were speechless.
The surroundings became quiet for a moment.
Lin Yicheng pretended not to hear and focused on grilling the food in her hands.
Lin Yiyi stared at Lu Fengqing expectantly, as if waiting for her to give an answer.
Lu Fengqing replied perfunctorily, "I don't have hands."
Lin Yiyi: "..."
Gu Suixing lowered her eyes, a smile flickering in them.
After the others came to their senses, they lowered their heads and suppressed their laughter.
Zhang Qin glanced at Lin Yiyi's feignedly innocent face and scoffed. She never expected that Lin Yicheng, such a cheerful and sunny boy, would have such a bitchy and scheming sister.
Huo Huai'an suppressed a laugh and placed the freshly roasted chicken wings into the small bowl in front of Qin Xuan. "Come, Miss Qin, try my cooking."
Qin Xuan paused for a moment, then smiled and thanked her without refusing.
Lin Yiyi seemed to finally realize that the atmosphere was not right, so she didn't say anything more and sat down awkwardly.
After watching the show, Xie Qingtang raised the glass of juice in her hand to Lu Fengqing and smiled meaningfully, "Speaking of which, I was able to win the prize from Sui Xing this morning thanks to Miss Lu."
The score was already tied, but they won thanks to Lu Fengqing's shot.
Of course, it was Gu Suixing who took the initiative to call a halt in the end, which was naturally partly due to his deliberate admission of defeat.
Xie Qingtang's mother and Gu Suixing's father were siblings, and the two cousins looked somewhat alike, especially when they smiled. Perhaps because of this, Lu Fengqing had a fairly good first impression of Xie Qingtang and responded half-jokingly, "You're welcome. It's my honor to be your mascot, Young Master."
Huo Huai'an feigned displeasure, "Why are you siding with outsiders?"
Lu Fengqing was annoyed when she saw him. "It's all because you insisted on dragging me onto the field."
Huo Huai'an couldn't refute that.
The others couldn't help but laugh when they saw this, "So the undercover agent is Young Master Huo!"
Lin Yiyi murmured with some disappointment, "What a pity, Mr. Gu almost won."
But no one paid any attention to her; everyone tacitly pretended not to hear.
Those who weren't participating asked Xie Qingtang curiously, "What's the prize?"
Xie Qingtang smiled faintly and remained silent.
Zhang Qin finally looked away from Xie Qingtang and turned to Lu Fengqing and Gu Suixing, frowning slightly.
Judging from her ability to "detect adultery with naked eyes," Lu Fengqing and the Crown Prince are definitely having an affair.
When did they start dating?
Does Lu Fengqing know that the Crown Prince is actually "impotent"?
-
The older folks left around 8 p.m., while the remaining young people ate, drank, and played until 10 p.m. before gradually dispersing.
Once everyone else was around, Lu Fengqing finally asked the question she had been holding back for so long: "What's the prize?"
Gu Suixing did not answer.
Lu Fengqing then looked at Huo Huai'an.
“...Yacht.” Huo Huai’an couldn’t help but glance at Sui Xing.
Men all have a competitive spirit, and no one wants to lose, but we have to give face to the Xie family, so we'll treat the yacht as an opening gift for the estate.
Besides, losing to the young lady isn't so bad; this ancestor might even be willing to accept it.
Yachts cost millions, and some even start at tens of millions. Lu Fengqing never expected that playing ball would be so expensive.
...And what I never expected was that I would end up with a yacht.
Lu Fengqing noticed out of the corner of her eye that Qin Xuan's face was a little pale, and paused in her steps, "Miss Qin, are you feeling unwell?"
Qin Xuan lightly rubbed her lower abdomen, "My stomach feels a little uncomfortable."
Gu Suixing glanced at her, said nothing, and then looked at Huo Huai'an.
"..." Huo Huai'an touched his nose. "There's a doctor in the manor. Shall I take you there to see him?"
Qin Xuan nodded slightly. "Thank you."
"I'll go with you."
Although Lu Fengqing still didn't like this "Qin Xinhuan" very much, she wasn't so heartless as to ignore him when he was sick.
Although she may not be able to play any significant role, at least she is a woman, and can offer some assistance in special circumstances.
Gu Suixing didn't follow; he had some things to take care of and went back first.
To prevent accidents, a medical station is set up on the estate, staffed by several doctors and nurses.
The doctor examined Qin Xuan, prescribed some medicine, and told her to go home and rest early, and to eat light meals for the next few days.
On the way back, Lu Fengqing questioned Huo Huai'an: "Did you not cook the food properly?"
Huo Huai'an: "...You can question my cooking skills, but you can't question my grilling skills."
"I'm questioning your intelligence now."
"Go back and look through your old papers, and make sure you understand them before you say this to your brother."
Qin Xuan watched them playfully bickering quietly and realized that the young lady and Huo Huai'an had a better relationship than she had imagined.
This friendship wasn't established by anyone; it has a long history.
Qin Xuan suddenly felt a little envious.
...
Just as she returned to her residence, Lu Fengqing suddenly received a message from Gu Suixing.
It's a photograph.
The photo shows a contract.
Lu Fengqing immediately understood what this was, and her eyes lit up.
She'd been working on this contract for almost half a month.
After going upstairs, Lu Fengqing didn't go back to her room with Qin Xuan. Instead, she excitedly followed Huo Huai'an to the next room.
