Chapter 42 Acquaintances
When they arrived at Hou Zhiqiang's house, Ji Yin opened the door for Ye Ran with a smile, but immediately saw the conspicuous Lu Yi and was instantly stunned.
Lu Yi smiled generously at Ji Yin, "Sister Ji, hello, my name is Lu Yi, I apologize for bothering you today."
Ji Yin was completely stunned by his devilish smile, and she stammered, "Uh... hello, hello..."
Ji Yin only realized what was happening after the two entered the room, and she grabbed Ye Ran.
"Ranran, is this...is this your friend or your boyfriend?"
Ye Ran's face showed a hint of shyness, "Mmm..."
Looking at her, Ji Yin understood everything. "Hmph... So it's your boyfriend! Tell me, when did this happen?"
Even though Ji Yin recognized him at a glance, Ye Ran wasn't too flustered. After all, she had some mental preparation for bringing him along.
She didn't want strangers to know about her relationship with him, and she was also embarrassed to tell her parents, but she didn't have as many worries about Ji Yin and the others.
Most importantly, Ye Ran felt that Lu Yi would have many good suggestions regarding her business with Hou Zhiqiang, and she really wanted to hear them.
So she stopped being coy and said, "Yes, it happened in the last few days."
"Oh, oh, oh! It seems our Ranran is quite something! These past few days she's been busy with work and dating, aren't you tired?" Ji Yin said with a wink.
"Sister!" Ye Ran said, a little embarrassed.
"Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you! But you've found a great boyfriend, he's handsome and seems very capable."
"I guess so..." Ye Ran said sincerely, these were genuine adjectives used to describe Lu Yi.
Seeing that Ye Ran openly and frankly admitted his identity, Lu Yi was overjoyed. Ran Ran was willing to introduce him to her friends, which proved that she truly trusted him. Lu Yi unconsciously smiled with satisfaction.
Hou Zhiqiang, who came out of the house, was also startled. "Xiao Lu? What are you doing here?"
“Brother Hou! I came with Ranran,” Lu Yi said frankly.
"With Ranran? Oh! Are you two a couple?"
"Yes, thank you so much, Brother Hou, for taking care of my Ranran!" Lu Yi readily admitted without any hesitation.
Watching them go back and forth, Ye Ran was a little confused, "What... do you know each other?"
Lu Yi glanced at her with a warm smile but didn't say anything.
Hou Zhiqiang was a little surprised. "What? Xiao Lu came with you. Didn't he tell you?"
Xiao Lu is the biggest herbal medicine dealer in this county's black market! He can get his hands on a lot of herbs, and in large quantities. Sometimes even the provincial capital sends people to buy them!
"Really? That's incredible! I had no idea!" Ye Ran smiled and glanced at Lu Yi.
Looking at Ye Ran's bright and sunny smile, Lu Yi felt a chill run down his spine for some reason...
He quickly explained, "Ranran, I just haven't found a chance to say it yet."
Ye Ran didn't speak, but she had actually anticipated it to some extent, after all... in her dream last time, she saw Lu Yi and his grandfather cultivating a large medicinal herb field on the back mountain...
Who would choose to cultivate medicinal herbs in such a dangerous place as the back mountain for no reason?
So she only asked one question, "Then why did you go to the hospital to buy medicine last time?"
