Chapter 178 A Heartfelt Confession



"I don't think Qian Ying has given up on you yet."

Back in the room, Cheng Ze hugged Lu Siqiao tightly, greedily inhaling her scent.

Lu Siqiao blushed and struggled, her face flushed from the teasing.

The two quietly looked out the window and saw that Cheng Duoguo had just divorced Chen Luoxia and then hurriedly took Ah Xiang and her son back to the villa.

That woman was originally a secretary, only twenty-eight years old. As soon as she entered the door, she acted like the lady of the house, bossing people around.

For Chen Luoxia, taking her son away was exactly what she wanted.

Lu Siqiao thought that Chen Luoxia was also a magnet for scumbags. Luckily, they got divorced, otherwise, she would have kept such a man around all the time.

Lost in thought, Cheng Ze had already kissed her...

She felt the burning heat of his lips and his deep gaze, which seemed to draw her in.

Lu Siqiao panicked and awkwardly responded to him.

Cheng Ze smiled, his eyes sparkling with starlight.

He hugged her even tighter.

Until there was a knock on the door.

They hurriedly separated.

After straightening his clothes, Cheng Ze went to open the door first.

A chubby boy stood at the door, hands on his hips, and asked, "You're the big brother?"

This is Ah Xiang's son, Cheng Mingzhi, who is four years old.

Perhaps because Cheng Duoguo spoiled him so much, he wasn't afraid of Cheng Ze at all, and even said in a harsh voice, "Dad said you have to come downstairs to see my mom."

After saying that, he glared at Lu Siqiao again.

Lu Siqiao smiled and teased, "It seems my mother was right to leave."

Cheng Ze turned around and smiled mysteriously: "I bought an apartment near Beijing University. You can move out later and we can live together."

Lu Siqiao blushed even more and spat out, "Get lost, I'm not going to live with you."

The two walked out of the building hand in hand with light steps.

When Ah Xiang saw them, a gentle smile appeared on her face: "Ah Ze, Qiao Wa, I've made some chocolate cakes, come and have a taste."

Cheng Ze smiled faintly, picked up the cupcake, and handed it to Lu Siqiao's lips.

Lu Siqiao took a small bite, her mouth full of chocolate flavor, sweet with a hint of bitterness.

"Thank you," she said with a smile, though she didn't particularly like sweets.

Cheng Ze ate the rest of her cake.

Seeing how close they were, Ah Xiang knew what was going on and took the initiative to flatter Lu Siqiao, saying, "I think you two are a good match. How about we talk to both sets of parents about getting engaged first, and then getting married after Qiaowa graduates from university?"

She knows how to get along with people.

Cheng Ze smiled and said, "Sure. Qiao Wa's parents have gone abroad and won't be back for a while. If you want to contact both sets of parents, you can contact my uncle."

Lu Siqiao blushed and spat, "I haven't agreed to marry you yet."

However, they also developed a stronger liking for Ah Xiang.

Ah Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. After watching them leave, she instructed her son, "Ah Zhi, this is your older brother. You'll need his help in the future. Don't be unruly, or I'll have to hit you."

Lu Mingzhi cried out a few times, but dared not refute.

Ah Xiang's ability to rise from daughter-in-law to mother-in-law is a testament to her foresight; otherwise, she wouldn't have reached her current position.

Cheng Duoguo's philandering didn't happen overnight.

Besides keeping him calm, she also couldn't annoy Cheng Ze, otherwise, who would stand up for them in the future?

In contrast, Chen Luoxia, with the support of her two daughters, escaped unscathed and even helped her son obtain 10% of the shares in the Cheng Group.

Cheng Ze was unaware of Ah Xiang's thoughts. At that moment, he took Lu Siqiao out for a drive and then drove her back to school.

Summer vacation is over, and it's time for Lu Siqiao to return to university life.

They were a handsome couple, and their good looks quickly attracted the attention of many people.

There were even several men who had wanted to pursue Lu Siqiao back then.

"I knew it! How could such an outstanding girl not have a boyfriend?" someone said to Ke Xiong.

Ke Xiong smiled helplessly.

Lu Siqiao returned to her dormitory and received a call from Mo Yan.

After hearing about her ordeal, Mo Yan wanted to return to China, but Lu Siqiao told them to stay a little longer.

Although Fang Dingding has improved, what if she finds out that Lu Siqiao lied and that Mo Yan, Lu Mingfeng, and the others were just acting to deceive her? What if she gets stuck on that again?

"Qiaowa, could you go find Xiao Jun for me later and see what's going on with him? He hasn't answered my calls lately."

Mo Yan brought up her troubles and complained, "I wonder if he's hooked up with another girl. If he is, remember not to hold back and teach him a lesson!"

Lu Siqiao said with amusement, "You have so many boyfriends, this little puppy is disobedient, just find another one."

"That won't do. He's the most handsome and obedient of all the puppies." Mo Yan seemed to have thought of something and reminded him, "You should also keep a close eye on Qian Ying. I'm most afraid of women who can't have the love they want. They're incredibly dark-hearted and would rather destroy than let other women have the chance."

Lu Siqiao chuckled: "I know, you've become a dating expert."

After hanging up the phone, she also thought about Qian Ying's unusual behavior.

Normally, a woman who has just broken up with her boyfriend would be eager to leave the place where she was heartbroken and heal her wounds. But she was different. She would rather be like brother and sister with Cheng Ze than leave.

Isn't this just blatantly trying to pester me?

Lu Siqiao knew that Cheng Ze had always taken good care of her and her daughter, like an older brother.

But some people are not as innocent and harmless as they seem.

Lu Siqiao took the address sent by Mo Yan and followed it to the Film Academy.

She was young and beautiful, and she mingled among the students to get to the boys' dormitory, thinking of an excuse to get Xiao Jun to come out.

I spotted a familiar figure in the distance.

Besides Mo Yan's boyfriend Xiao Jun, there was also Qian Ying.

How did they meet?

Lu Siqiao felt that the social circle in Beijing was too small.

Qian Ying also saw her, jogged over, and said with a smile, "Qiao Wa, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Jun recognized her, and his gaze turned questioning.

Lu Siqiao ignored Qian Ying and asked Xiao Jun instead, "Mo Yan asked me to ask you why you haven't replied to her messages?"

Xiao Jun blushed and said with a forced smile, "My elderly relative was sick a while ago, so I didn't have time to call Yan'er. I'll call her later."

Lu Siqiao did not let him off the hook, and her gaze swept towards Qian Ying.

Qian Ying smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand, Xiao Jun and I are cousins."

While Xiao Jun was calling Mo Yan, Qian Ying explained to Lu Siqiao, "We haven't been back to China for a long time, and we don't keep in touch with many of our relatives there. My mom said I have a cousin who studies at the film academy, and I never expected to run into you."

She spoke with obvious excitement, as if it were truly an unexpected event.

Lu Siqiao said calmly, "Really? What a coincidence."

Qian Ying is only twenty-three years old. She graduated from university and has not yet found a job.

"I'd like to ask my cousin to help me see if there are any suitable positions at the school," she continued.

“Before, we had Aze taking care of us and didn’t have to worry about anything. But things are different now. He will marry you, and his relationship with us will gradually drift apart.”

"I need to find a job to make a living."
