Chapter 42 Are You My Sister’s Boyfriend?
Li Qingqing pushed his hand away, feeling extremely embarrassed and angry.
"I have to go see my brother this afternoon."
Speaking of Xie Ze, Lu Yan hadn't seen him yet. He glanced at the time and said, "Wait for me for half an hour, and I'll go with you later."
Li Qingqing quickly waved her hands, "No need, I can go by myself."
Thinking back to the last time she went to the hospital with Mu Xingyi, and how Chen Suyun shamelessly asked a stranger for money, she felt extremely ashamed.
Although Lu Yan was already quite familiar with her family's situation, she still didn't want him to see this extremely embarrassing scene.
Lu Yan saw her concerns and comforted her in a deep voice, "Aren't you just afraid that your mother will ask me for money? Just give her some when the time comes. You'll spend it on your brother anyway."
Li Qingqing shook her head. "I'm afraid Xie Hongde will use it to pay off his gambling debts before it can even be spent on my brother."
Lu Yan had not expected this. "Your stepfather is so shameless," he teased.
Li Qingqing lowered her eyes and didn't want to talk about Xie Hongde anymore.
"Okay, I won't give your mom any money. I'll just go see your brother."
Although Li Qingqing never told him, Lu Yan knew that Li Qingqing could reach where she is today because of Xie Ze, and Xie Ze must be very important in her heart.
Li Qingqing couldn't persuade her, so she had to agree.
While Lu Yan was at work, she sent a message to Xie Ze's caregiver.
[Sister Li, is my mother in the hospital now? ]
After a while, the nurse Sister Li replied to her.
[No, she said your stepfather was beaten by debt collectors and she went back to take care of him.]
Li Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Chen Suyun was not here today, otherwise she would be laughed at again.
Half an hour later, Lu Yan finished the work at hand and drove to Ruian Hospital with Li Qingqing.
Xie Ze's condition is much better than before. The doctor said he will be able to be discharged from the hospital in about a week.
When Xie Ze saw Li Qingqing coming with a handsome older brother, he immediately noticed the unusual aura between the two.
He opened his big round eyes and asked Li Qingqing innocently, "Sister, is this big brother your boyfriend?"
When Li Qingqing heard Xie Ze's words, her face suddenly flushed. She quickly covered Xie Ze's mouth with her hands, but it was too late. The words still reached Lu Yan's ears.
After hearing this, Lu Yan's mouth corners unconsciously rose. In front of the siblings, he neither admitted nor denied it.
Li Qingqing was extremely embarrassed at this moment and didn't know how to introduce Lu Yan to Xie Ze.
Just at this moment, Xie Ze's attending physician came over and said that he wanted to communicate with the patient's family about the patient's basic condition.
Li Qingqing took the opportunity to slip away, leaving only Lu Yan and Xie Ze in the ward.
…
Lu Yan looked at Li Qingqing's running back, and smiled softly. He slowly walked to the head of Xie Ze's bed, stretched out his big hand to rub his little head, and said with satisfaction: "You are quite perceptive~"
Xie Ze became even more excited after being praised. He looked at Lu Yan's noble and handsome face and said to him, "You are more handsome than that brother last time. You are a good match for my sister."
The brother from last time? Lu Yan thought about it and figured out that Xie Ze was talking about Mu Xingyi. He turned his face away, and the corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than Ak's.
I thought to myself: Aze is much more sensible than his stubborn sister.
He took out his phone and said to Xie Ze, "Do you have WeChat? I'll add you on WeChat."
Xie Ze shook his head. "I don't have a cell phone. At our age, our parents and teachers don't allow us to use cell phones. They all use smart watches."
Lu Yan knew that the "they" Xie Ze was referring to were his classmates, so he opened the address book and called Shen Xing.
"Are you done yet?"
Shen Xing: “It’s almost there, Mr. Lu.”
Lu Yan: "Put the thing on your hand aside for now, go buy a phone watch and bring it to Ruian Hospital."
Shen Xing was puzzled, "Phone watch?"
Lu Yan: "Yes, it's the kind of phone watch that elementary and middle school students use."
Shen Xing: “…I understand, Mr. Lu, I’ll do it right away.”
After hanging up the phone, Shen Xing looked at the phone with a puzzled look on his face. What was Mr. Lu from their family doing?
Xie Ze looked at Lu Yan while he was on the phone with admiration on his face, "Brother, are you a domineering CEO?"
Lu Yan burst out laughing after hearing what he said. "Do you usually read novels? You speak so elegantly."
Xie Ze shook his head seriously. "I don't read novels, but you looked very handsome when you were on the phone just now, very much like a domineering CEO. The internet says that those who are handsome and rich are called domineering CEOs, and those who are rich but not handsome are called entrepreneurs."
"Hahaha."
Lu Yan was amused by him again. He didn't expect that Li Qingqing's younger brother was quite interesting.
"Besides a phone watch, what else do you want? Today I'll be like a wishing well, and I'll buy you whatever you want."
Lu Yan was almost overwhelmed by Xie Ze's praise and wanted to fulfill all his wishes on the spot.
But Xie Ze's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he looked at him seriously and said, "But my sister said that I can't accept anything else casually..."
Lu Yan had never expected that Li Qingqing would educate her brother this way. He pinched his little cheek lovingly and said, "Your sister isn't very smart, so don't listen to her. Just listen to me from now on. When you grow up, I'll teach you how to make money."
Xie Ze: “…”
Although this brother seemed to have some complaints about his sister, he seemed to be a very nice person overall.
Xie Ze nodded in confusion. After all, he really wanted that phone watch.
After a moment of silence, Xie Ze suddenly remembered something. Seeing that Li Qingqing had not returned yet, he looked at Lu Yan with a serious face.
Lu Yan was a little confused by his sudden serious expression, "...What's the matter? I just said your sister is not very smart, are you angry?"
Xie Ze shook his head, his pure black eyes continued to stare at him, and then he asked tentatively: "Brother, will you be good to my sister?"
Seeing him suddenly become serious, Lu Yan sat up a little straighter and said to him sincerely, "Of course, I will treat your sister as well as you do."
He reached out and touched his head lovingly again.
After hearing the affirmative answer, Xie Ze lowered his brows, looking as if he had something on his mind.
Lu Yan looked at him steadily and asked softly, "Do you... have anything to say to me?"
Xie Ze looked at him in silence for a few seconds, as if he was thinking about whether he could trust the brother in front of him, but in the end he nodded solemnly at him.
Lu Yan looked at the door of the ward, then looked at Xie Ze, and guessed, "Can't my sister know about this?"
Xie Ze nodded first, then shook his head, "No, it's just..."
Xie Ze didn't know what to say. He was not sure whether his sister agreed to let him tell Lu Yan about this. He just felt that as his sister's boyfriend, Lu Yan should know about this.
Lu Yan saw his embarrassment, so he leaned over to him and said in a low voice, "Then tell me first. If I don't think it's appropriate to tell your sister about this, I will help you keep it a secret."
Xie Ze looked at his sincere eyes, and then his expression seemed to have made up his mind. He quietly leaned over to Lu Yan's ear and whispered the secret hidden in his heart.
