Chapter 170 It’s too late



"Young Master..." The housekeeper who came to pick up Qian Cheng was stunned when he saw the unknown creature holding Qian Cheng. Then he asked hesitantly, "Young Master, what is this?"

He was very surprised because when facing this mysterious creature he had never seen before, he did not feel any fear at all. Instead, he felt a sense of comfort as if he was bathed in spring breeze.

Ai Yu turned her head, her eyes fell on Qian Cheng, and she shook her head gently.

Qian Cheng immediately understood what she meant and quickly comforted the housekeeper, saying, "Don't worry, it's just a friend of mine. Just pretend you didn't see anything."

"Okay, Master, I understand." The butler nodded, showing his understanding. Working in a wealthy family meant keeping both your eyes and mouth under control.

Qian Cheng took Ai Yu straight to the kitchen to prepare food, while Ai Yu was rummaging around in the kitchen looking for something. Qian Cheng couldn't help but look at her a few more times before finally asking, "What are you looking for?"

"Juice. The kind I drank in the car when I first came to your house." Ai Yu answered while continuing to search, but when she opened the refrigerator, she could only sigh in disappointment, "Alas, I didn't find it."

"You want to drink that?" Qian Cheng thought for a moment and took out his phone. "I asked someone to bring some over. You haven't had it in a while, so I thought you didn't like it, so I didn't ask them to prepare it."

Ai Yu stopped Qian Cheng from dialing the number. "It's okay. If you don't have it, then don't have it. Can you make me some noodles first? Can you make longevity noodles?" She smiled, her eyes curved. "What I want most now is the food you cook."

"Longevity noodles... You may have to wait a while, I need to knead the dough." Qian Cheng did what he said and went to look for flour.

"Okay." Ai Yu leaned against the cupboard and used the frequency to replicate a glass of juice again. He took a sip and said, "I always feel that it's not as delicious as the first time."

Qian Cheng kneaded the dough while replying, "Of course, Ai Yu. It's like listening to a song. The same song feels different every time you listen to it. It's not that the song itself has changed, but your subjective feelings have changed."

"The phrase is, 'Things have changed, people have changed,' right?" Ai Yu finished the juice in the cup, shook it, blinked, and drank another cup. "You humans are really cute."

Qian Cheng paused for a moment, his voice still unchanged, with no indication of anything unusual: "How long will you be staying here? What else do you like to eat? I'll prepare it for you in advance."

"I don't know. You just said, Angel's chairman and secretary? The chairman is Akahilia, and the secretary is?" How could she not know that Akahilia had a personal secretary?

"Wei Xiaoran, weren't you in Angel before? Don't you know? I thought you at least knew who your colleagues were."

The goblet in Ai Yu's hand suddenly vanished without a trace, and she straightened up. "Wei Xiaoran? He actually got into Angel?" She raised her head, looking upwards, and asked to herself, "How long have they been talking? Isn't there anyone else with Dad?"

"What do we need to discuss business..." Qian Cheng also keenly realized that something was wrong. "Ai Yu, you mean..." He quickly wiped his hands, then rushed upstairs, shouting: "Dad!"

Ai Yu gently stroked the flower on her chest and teleported closely behind.

When Qian Cheng hurriedly ran outside the study, he saw Wei Xiaoran standing quietly waiting outside. He felt a little relieved, but on the surface, he asked calmly, "Wei Xiaoran, are you thirsty? Do you need me to ask Auntie to prepare some tea for you?"

Wei Xiaoran simply glanced at Qian Cheng and replied, "Not thirsty, thank you."

Qian Cheng smiled and said, "Well, how long will they talk? How about you come sit with me for a while?"

"Need not."

ha……

Qian Cheng's smile froze a little: "Okay, then if you need anything, just call me anytime. Just treat this place as your own home. Don't be restrained."

Wei Xiaoran wasn't like this before. Although he was cold before, he wasn't so impatient. Have everyone changed so much in a year?

Ai Yu appeared silently behind Qian Cheng like a ghost. Her palm was gently placed on Qian Cheng's lower back. A well-behaved smile was on her face, but her eyes were fixed on Wei Xiaoran. She said, "Brother, what interesting things are you guys talking about?"

Wei Xiaoran's attention was instantly attracted and his gaze fixed, but only for a moment, then he leaned against the door frame again and closed his eyes, as if he was resting.

Qian Cheng was at a loss at this moment, thinking about how to explain the situation to Wei Xiaoran. However, when he turned around, he was surprised to find that Ai Yu had returned to human form.

"Didn't you say you wanted to eat longevity noodles? Do you still want to eat it? If you want, I'll make it for you." Qian Cheng asked doubtfully.

"I'm not hungry now and don't want to eat." Ai Yu shook her head gently, then stood on tiptoe, leaned close to Qian Cheng's ear, and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Qian Cheng smiled and then turned and left.

Ai Yu slowly walked towards Wei Xiaoran until they were only about a foot apart. Wei Xiaoran could no longer pretend to be blind. He opened his eyes and met Ai Yu's gaze. "What's going on?"

Wei Xiaoran bent his legs slightly, leaning against the wall. This movement freed Ai Yu from having to stand on tiptoe. She straightened her neck, placed her lips close to Wei Xiaoran's ear, and whispered in a very low voice, "Are you going to continue pretending? When will you reveal your true face?"

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Wei Xiaoran answered in a serious tone and closed his eyes again.

"Really?" Ai Yu's nose twitched, "But I smell the scent of Lufu on you."

At this moment, the door of the study was opened. Qian Tai, who had escorted Akaxilia out, happened to see the two of them being intimate. His face darkened and he said in a deep voice, "Ai Yu, stay away from this man."

Ai Yu shrugged slightly, took a few steps back, and went to the other direction of the corridor.

Akashilia smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, it seems I've caused you trouble."

"You're very kind."

The two exchanged pleasantries again, but Ai Yu, who had just left, turned back again. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the three of them, his eyes narrowed into slits: "You're late."

In her eyes, the blood of the three people in front of her, except Wei Xiaoran, had already been completely corroded by Lu Fu. Judging from the time, Lu Fu had been lurking in there for a long time, and it was not the result of overnight.

Qian Tai came over and patted Ai Yu's shoulder: "My dear daughter, why don't you go play somewhere else first?"
