Chapter 442 The Earth is Half My Home
“Who said no!”
Su Qian hurriedly dodged backwards, and her back hit the edge of the table piled with gift boxes, making the gilded wrapping paper rustle.
Her face flushed and her neck stiffened. "You've been eating and drinking for free here for so long, just think of it as paying for rent and food."
The corners of Lu Yao's lips curled up in a triumphant arc.
The two of them put the scattered gift boxes in order one by one, and Su Qian carefully put the letters and bank cards into the space.
Lu Yao patted the non-existent dust off his hands.
He pulled out a bunch of car keys from his pocket and shook them. A mini Q-version Su Qian-shaped pendant hung on the metal buckle. "Come on, I'll take you out for dinner and a drive."
"etc--"
Su Qian stared at the keys in his hand, "When did you buy the car?"
Lu Yao raised his eyebrows, a smile hidden in his eyes: "I just got my driver's license this morning, and I mentioned it by the way."
He shook the ID in his pocket.
"Now I am a licensed driver with a formal identity on Earth."
"I even have a driver's license."
The corners of Su Qian's mouth twitched slightly.
I have to say that Lu Yao is indeed becoming more and more like an Earthling.
"So that I can take you for a ride openly." Lu Yao put his arm around her shoulders and led her to the door.
"and……"
He lowered his voice, his breath brushing against her ears, "From now on, I'm going to travel between the immortal world and Earth. Earth is half my homeland, so of course I have to do as the Romans do."
Half of my mother’s family?
Su Qian felt a throbbing in his temples.
Noticing Su Qian's similar expression, Lu Yao slowed down and changed the words, "Then... half of the in-laws' family?"
This is getting more and more outrageous.
Su Qian looked at him speechlessly and did not refute.
"Xiaoliu, follow me."
Lu Yao called out to Xiao Liu who was not far away, "Brother Lu Yao will take you to eat something delicious."
Xiaoliu half-peeked out from behind the curtains and pointed at himself. Thinking he had misheard, he asked uncertainly, "Can I come too?"
He thought that Brother Lu Yao and Sister were going to have some private time together.
So I stayed behind the curtains tactfully and didn't dare to move.
"If you don't want to eat, Qianqian and I won't take you with us." Lu Yao raised his eyebrows and pretended to pull Su Qian out the door.
Xiaoliu screamed and jumped out from behind the curtain.
He was still holding the sleepy Bai Ze in his arms.
"I want to eat! I want sweet and sour pork ribs, spicy chicken, and crab soup dumplings!"
Su Qian was amused by his exaggerated appearance and reached out to ruffle his messy hair: "Let's go."
Lu Yao skillfully helped Su Qian open the car door.
In the past, Su Qian always drove and Lu Yao sat in the passenger seat. At this moment, his agile movements made Su Qian stunned.
Lu Yao raised an eyebrow at her, "Why, are you worried about me, your new driver?"
Without waiting for her answer.
Then he gently fastened his seat belt.
"You know what, I'm a little worried."
Su Qian spoke frankly, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice, "After all, someone was so stumped by the first part of the exam a while ago that he kept pestering me to teach him how to recognize traffic signs. So, he dared to go on the road today?"
"Qianqian."
Lu Yao sighed helplessly.
We agreed not to mention his dark history.
"Don't mention it again."
He reached out and gently pinched her cheek. The action seemed like punishment, but it was actually so gentle that it could squeeze out water.
After all, he is an ancient dragon and a top figure in the world of immortal cultivation. All the major sects will run away when they see him.
I was almost stumped by this small subject.
If this gets back to the world of immortal cultivation, will he still have the authority?
Xiaoliu hugged Bai Ze and sat in the back seat, his shoulders shaking from trying to hold back his laughter.
The vehicle started steadily.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it."
Su Qian was amused by his reaction. "I didn't tell anyone, I only mentioned it to Mengmeng."
Lu Yao: “!!!”
My little disciple knows everything?
Lu Yao almost slammed on the brakes, startling Xiaoliu in the back seat so much that he fell forward.
Bai Ze in his arms let out a "woof" and his fur stood on end.
"Sister! Brother Lu Yao wants to murder the passengers!"
Xiaoliu hugged Bai Ze in protest, his furry tail still wagging in panic.
"What did the little disciple say?"
Lu Yao gripped the steering wheel nervously, "Doesn't she think Master is no longer powerful?"
Although he was a mighty ancient dragon, his voice at this moment contained a subtle uneasiness.
"I'm just kidding."
Su Qian's cheeks burned from trying to hold back her laughter. "Don't worry, I haven't told anyone. I'll keep your dignity safe."
Lu Yao's face was full of helplessness.
I was fooled by this little girl again.
The vehicle continued to drive as steadily as an experienced driver, and finally stopped at a restaurant near the river.
The entire building stands facing the river.
The top terrace is softly outlined by warm yellow light strips.
"You're quite good at choosing. I've been to this restaurant before and it's pretty good."
Before Su Qian finished speaking, Lu Yao had already taken her hand, and the warmth of his palm came through his fingertips.
The elevator goes directly to the top floor.
Pah pah——
The moment the carved glass door slowly opened, the cannon exploded and golden ribbons poured down like meteors.
"Happy birthday!"
Amidst cheers.
Su Qian was startled by the sudden noise and took a step back.
Zhou Ran came over with a glass of champagne in hand, confetti still on the ends of his hair. "Happy birthday, Sister Qian!"
"Zhou Ran?"
Su Qian calmed down and finally figured out the situation.
Not only Zhou Ran, but also Yun Lang, Xu Ziling, Yuan Qiu and others.
Su Qian didn’t have many friends in Linjiang, but they all gathered together at this time.
"Brother Lu Yao finally brought the real boss here! We've been waiting here until the opportunity has gone cold!" Yun Lang chuckled while leaning against the railing.
"you……"
She turned to look at Lu Yao beside her.
But he saw his ears flushed, and he looked a little embarrassed: "I originally just wanted to take you out for dinner, but Zhou Ran said that the birthday should be lively..."
"Come on!"
Zhou Ran squeezed over and said, "Brother Lu Yao obviously wanted to give you a surprise, but he insisted on calling all of us, a bunch of light bulbs, here!"
"That's right, Brother Lu Yao has been preparing for several days, booking the venue and decorating it, and even struggling with the color of the ribbons for three days!"
Xu Ziling pushed up his glasses and shook the tablet in his hand. The screen was densely packed with planning proposals. "Look, there are five alternative versions of the birthday song list alone."
"So you've been so secretive lately, just to prepare for this?"
Su Qian raised her brows, but couldn't hide her emotion.
"No."
Lu Yao said stubbornly, "I'm not the kind of person who would get so entangled."
The others laughed but did not expose him.
After they sat down, others also gave gifts and blessings.
The delicious food was served and the aroma filled the entire terrace.
"I was thinking of booking you a reservation at the recently popular Xintai Restaurant or Weijie Food Time."
Zhou Ran sipped his champagne dejectedly, shaking his head as he said, "These two restaurants are completely unavailable for reservations. They're ridiculously overcrowded. Those diners are like possessed, and it's impossible to get a table!"
Xu Ziling felt the same way. "It's been hyped up online, saying it's so delicious it can send people into a state of celestial ecstasy. I want to see if it's really that exaggerated."
