Chapter 192
When A-Qiang heard the voice, he turned around and was quite surprised to see Luo Chunyan.
"Luo Chunyan, what brings you here?"
Luo Chunyan was displeased and deliberately pouted, saying, "What's wrong? We're friends, after all. Can't I come to see you?"
A-Qiang felt a bit confused. Back then, Luo Chunyan had told him to get lost with such disdain. Why was she coming to find him again now?
Could it be that Miss Ji has something to do?
Ah Qiang thought to himself.
"Um, is there something you need from me?" he asked.
"Can't I come see you even if there's nothing wrong?" Luo Chunyan gave him a reproachful look. "What are you so busy with?"
Ah Qiang said blankly, "Oh, it's nothing, just planning to tidy up this dilapidated yard."
Luo Chunyan's eyes also swept over A-Qiang's old courtyard.
This wasn't her first time visiting this place.
Every time she came before, seeing that dirty, messy yard piled with junk, with peeling paint on the walls, she felt there was nowhere to even step, and she found it extremely disgusting.
But now, all she feels is that the yard is spacious.
It occupies an area of over 200 square meters.
Once the old building is demolished and rebuilt into a small building, there can be a bright and spacious hall downstairs, a separate kitchen, a storage room, and a backyard.
Upstairs, at least three or four large bedrooms can be built, along with a large balcony.
It can accommodate a family of five, or even a family of eight.
Luo Chunyan smiled with satisfaction: "I heard you were back. I know your family hasn't cooked for a long time and you must have nowhere to eat. Come on, let me treat you to a meal."
Ah Qiang quickly shook his head: "No need, no need, I'll eat with the masters later."
After saying that, he asked again, "Are you sure everything's alright? Is something wrong, Miss Ji?"
In Ah Qiang's heart, he had long regarded Miss Ji as his sister-in-law.
He respected Brother Lei, and naturally he also respected his sister-in-law.
Luo Chunyan rolled her eyes at him: "I'm treating you to dinner. What does Guan Jiwanmei want? She's at home with her dad. It's just the two of us. Let's go?"
Ah Qiang shook his head: "Oh, then I won't go. I'm in a hurry, thank you."
Luo Chunyan knew he was still angry about how she had rejected him and told him to get lost last time.
Men, just like women, sometimes need to be coaxed.
If she shows a little kindness and says a few sweet words to coax him, it will be easy for a man who likes her to give in.
Luo Chunyan stepped forward and reached out to tug at A-Qiang's sleeve: "Hey, let's go, it's just a meal, it's on me!"
When A-Qiang saw her pulling him, he took two steps back, but Luo Chunyan wouldn't let go of his sleeve. Just as he was about to speak, a petite figure with a braided hairstyle walked over from outside the courtyard gate.
The person who arrived was none other than Zhu Shuangyan.
Zhu Shuangyan was carrying a thermal lunchbox, which she had prepared at home and was bringing over.
Knowing that A-Qiang was home alone with no one to cook for him, he knew he would have nowhere to eat at night.
Zhu Shuangyan quickly prepared a braised pork dish at home, filled it with rice, packed it in a lunchbox, and delivered it to him across half of Pingquan County.
When they arrived, they saw Ah Qiang in his own yard, arguing and getting intimate with a young woman.
Zhu Shuangyan stopped abruptly, stunned at the doorway.
A-Qiang turned around and saw Zhu Shuangyan standing at the door. He quickly pushed away Luo Chunyan, who was pulling him, and ran over happily: "Shuangyan, what brings you here!"
Zhu Shuangyan glanced silently at Luo Chunyan behind him, without looking up at Aqiang, and hung the insulated lunchbox on the door with her head down: "Um... I was on my way, so I brought it for you."
"Hehe." A-Qiang laughed heartily, grinning from ear to ear, "You even brought me food! Thank you, you're so kind, Shuangyan!"
Zhu Shuangyan kept her head down, her voice soft and calm: "Then you go ahead and do your work, I'll head back now."
After Zhu Shuangyan finished speaking, she didn't look at anyone else in the courtyard and turned to leave.
Ah-Qiang hurriedly chased after her, calling out, "Shuang-Yan, Shuang-Yan! Don't go!"
Luo Chunyan was displeased upon seeing this and ran out as well, calling out loudly to A-Qiang, "Chen Duanqiang, where are you going? Who is she?"
Just then, A-Qiang caught up with Zhu Shuangyan and grabbed her sleeve, preventing her from leaving.
Even though he was a bit stubborn, Ah Qiang realized at this point that Zhu Shuangyan must have misunderstood something.
Zhu Shuangyan pursed her lips and didn't turn around.
Luo Chunyan rushed over, her face grim, and sized up Zhu Shuangyan: "Chen Duanqiang, you're something else! You found another woman behind my back so quickly?"
Hearing her say that, A-Qiang was very displeased and frowned, saying, "Luo Chunyan, what are you saying? What do you mean by 'keeping it to yourself'? You're being so rude."
Luo Chunyan was also furious: "You just came to me with a pearl necklace to confess your love and say you liked me, and now you're all over this woman, all tangled up together!"
Ah Qiang was speechless at her words and angrily said, "Luo Chunyan, explain yourself! I have absolutely no relationship with you now. Don't talk nonsense! If Shuangyan heard this, she'd think I was lying to her."
"You're just lying to both sides!" Luo Chunyan pointed at Zhu Shuangyu, who was looking down. It was a bit dark, and she couldn't see the girl's face clearly, only that she was a petite girl. She felt even more uncomfortable.
Zhu Shuangyan's eyes immediately reddened. She forcefully pushed away Aqiang's hand that was holding her, covered her face, and ran away.
"Shuangyan! Shuangyan!" A-Qiang panicked, knowing that Zhu Shuangyan had completely misunderstood his relationship with Luo Chunyan, and he was extremely anxious.
