Chapter 88 A Friend
After the game, Wei Qingming originally planned to take Li Qingqing to visit the scenic spots in Country F to relax, but Li Qingqing didn't want to stay in Country F for even a second. She was afraid that she would be captured by Mu Xingyi again.
So on the afternoon of the day the competition ended, the two changed their tickets and flew back home.
On the plane back, Li Qingqing saw that Wei Qingming seemed to be in a daze, but she had wanted to ask him questions for a long time.
Not sure if it was the right time to ask, she couldn't help but ask, "...Are those mercenaries your people?"
Wei Qingming pulled himself out of his thoughts and was silent for a moment. "It belongs to my friend. He owed me a favor before, and this time I just happened to use it."
Li Qingqing lowered her head and scratched her fingers, looking apologetic. "Then it's my turn to owe you a favor this time."
In fact, if you count carefully, this is the second time she owes Wei Qingming a favor.
Wei Qingming did not continue the topic, but instead asked her a very abrupt question.
"Have you ever met your biological father?"
Li Qingqing was stunned for a moment, obviously stumped by his out-of-the-box question.
Biological father? She seldom thought about her biological father because she had never seen him.
As far as she could remember, Chen Suyun was the only one who took care of her.
Later, Chen Suyun married Xie Hongde and gave birth to Xie Ze, forming her current family.
Although she didn't know why Wei Qingming suddenly asked about his biological father, she shook her head and answered him honestly.
"I've never met him, and my mother never mentioned him."
After saying this, Li Qingqing felt strange. Yes, why had Chen Suyun never mentioned this person to him?
Even a name? A photo?
But it never happened, as if this person never existed.
Seeing that she was lost in thought, Wei Qingming did not continue to ask questions because he knew that he would not get any results from her.
Moreover, this was just his own guess. He had investigated Li Qingqing before and did not find anything special.
"Are you confident in your own abilities now?"
Wei Qingming raised his eyebrows sarcastically as he looked at the silver medal certificate of the competition that she was holding tightly in her arms.
Li Qingqing looked down and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. "Well, I didn't expect to win a prize in my first competition. But I feel like I earned this certificate with my life."
Looking at her bright smile, Wei Qingming showed a barely perceptible smile at the corner of his mouth.
…
After returning home, Wei Qingming gave her a day off.
Li Qingqing was not idle either. She pulled Shen Lu to look at houses with her. Shen Lu said that she was about to move to a new house and asked her if she wanted to share the rent with her.
Of course Li Qingqing agreed immediately. The two of them came to the two-bedroom, one-living room apartment that Shen Lu had chosen in advance. When she opened the door, Li Qingqing was stunned.
"Lulu, are you sure I can afford to rent this place?"
Shen Lu was vague and laughed: "Oh, what a coincidence, this is a house of my friend. He went abroad this year, and the house is empty anyway. He doesn't want to rent it to strangers, so he asked me to help him live in it. I just need to pay some property fees and water and electricity bills. If this house is unoccupied for a long time, it will easily attract dirt. I am also helping him. It can be regarded as a mutual benefit."
Li Qingqing was shaken by what she said, but she still felt something was wrong: "But your friend doesn't know me, so I'm a stranger to him too. Are you sure he won't blame you for bringing me here to live without your permission?"
"Oh, no, he's not such a stingy person, you can just stay here without worry."
Li Qingqing had picked up a great bargain for free, and she just regarded it as compensation from God for surviving a disaster.
In the afternoon, the two of them came with their luggage and checked in. This place is slightly smaller than Wanhua, but the decoration is also very luxurious.
The two bedrooms are large and sunny, and the master bedroom with a bathroom is naturally given to Shen Lu.
In order to prevent his lie from being discovered, Shen Lu did not refuse. When the two of them had almost finished cleaning up, Li Qingqing suggested cooking something delicious to thank Shen Lu.
Of course Shen Lu wanted it very much. She had been loved by her parents and brother since she was a child, and she had never known how to cook.
Now that someone cooks for me, it’s much better than ordering takeout every day.
While Li Qingqing was busy in the kitchen, Shen Lu took out his cell phone and went back to his bedroom to secretly make a call.
"Hey, Mr. Lu, everything has been arranged, don't worry."
…
While eating, Li Qingqing remembered that when she was in Country F, there was a man named Wei Qingming, and she thought that Wei Qingming was a friend of Shen Lu's brother, so she asked Shen Lu:
"Do you know Boss Wei's family background?"
Shen Lu gnawed on the braised pork ribs while glancing at her, "Wei Qingming?"
Li Qingqing nodded.
After Shen Lu finished eating a sparerib, he said casually, "I really don't know about this. I only know that he and my brother were college classmates and started a business together."
"Oh. By the way, he's from Xicheng. I heard his hometown was also in Haicheng. I don't know why his whole family moved to Xicheng to develop."
Li Qingqing nodded thoughtfully and lowered her head to eat.
Shen Lu looked at her for a long time before he tentatively asked her: "...Did you see what happened to Mr. Lu?"
Li Qingqing knew she was talking about his engagement with Jiang Xueyao. She nodded with no expression on her face, "I know."
After that, the dinner table fell into silence. Shen Lu still followed the same principle: if she didn't say it, then she wouldn't ask.
Resting at night, Li Qingqing inevitably thought of Lu Yan while lying in bed.
He is engaged.
There is no deadline this time.
What I worried about has become a reality.
He belongs to someone else after all.
Even though she knew they liked each other.
But so what?
Love cannot overcome all difficulties, only compatibility can.
…
With a tear in the corner of her eye, Li Qingqing fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Li Qingqing got up early and prepared breakfast for the two of them.
Xiaolongbao, casserole seafood porridge, refreshing cold dishes, tea eggs, steamed corn...
Shen Lu hugged her and looked up to the sky and cried out: “I wish you were my wife.”
It feels so good to be taken care of, especially since Li Qingqing’s cooking skills are so good.
Li Qingqing didn't like being a nanny, but she liked cooking. Besides, Shen Lu had helped her many times, and she had nothing to repay her, so it was okay to make some delicious food to reward her.
It’s the same if you eat alone, so if two people eat together, they just need one more pair of chopsticks.
After dinner, Shen Lu consciously took on the responsibility of washing the dishes.
Li Qingqing and Shen Lu had similar working hours, so they went downstairs to work together and went to the subway station together.
On the side of the road in the community, a black Cullinan had been waiting there for half an hour. After Li Qingqing went out, she subconsciously glanced in that direction and found that it was not a Bentley. She turned around and walked towards the subway station with Shen Lu.
"Mr. Lu, do you want to go down and take a look?"
Shen Xing turned around and asked.
"No, just look at her, don't disturb her."
