That jerk! No wonder he hasn't been looking for her lately; he's already found someone else, and a girl even worse than her.
They had worse grades than her, weren't as pretty, and weren't as wealthy.
As soon as school was over, Li Yuehuan ran off to find Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng was caught at the school gate, and he could barely speak, "Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law."
Normally, Li Yuehuan would blush upon hearing this "sister-in-law," but today she wasn't in the mood for anything else and went straight to the point, "Qin Sheng, where has Lu Shen been these past few days?"
Qin Sheng's mind went blank for a moment. Brother Shen didn't want him to report his whereabouts to his sister-in-law. "Sister-in-law, I don't know Brother Shen's whereabouts either."
Li Yuehuan snorted coldly, "You two are inseparable every day, how could you not know his whereabouts? And what's going on between him and Huang Xuelian?"
Qin Sheng tried his best to explain, "Sister-in-law, don't listen to their nonsense. That letter wasn't written by Brother Shen. Someone impersonated Brother Shen. Brother Shen doesn't even know who Huang Xuelian is."
He then nodded earnestly, "Really, sister-in-law, I'm not lying to you."
"Um, I suddenly remembered my mom told me to go home early today, so I'm off, sister-in-law." Before she could react, he took off running.
Li Yuehuan was left standing at the school gate, bewildered in the wind.
However, she felt a little better. She thought to herself, "I knew it. Lu Shen wouldn't even look at Huang Xuelian."
Qin Sheng went straight to his room as soon as he got home.
Ji Min and her husband looked at each other, wondering what their adopted son was up to now.
She yelled, "Xiao Sheng, what are you doing? Come and eat right now!"
Ignoring his mother's calls, Qin Sheng pulled a bag of mountain produce from under the bed and hurriedly ran out again.
"Mom, I have to go out for a bit, so I won't be eating at home."
After saying that, he ran out as fast as the wind could carry him.
Ji Min chased after him, only to see his increasingly blurry figure. "You silly boy, I don't know what kind of pranks you're up to all day long."
Old Qin put down his chopsticks and bowl. "Forget it, as long as we don't cause trouble."
This kid is tough; no matter how much I beat and scold him, he's still the same. So I just completely ignore him.
He also knew that his son and Lu Shen were doing some business outside, so that the family could occasionally buy some meat to treat themselves.
Qin Sheng, carrying a bag of things, arrived at a secluded courtyard, panting. After making sure no one was around, he knocked on the door.
"They're here."
The person inside responded and then opened the door a crack.
"Is Brother Shen back?"
Qin Sheng turned sideways and went inside, peeking out to ask.
"I just got back not long ago."
The speaker was called Feng Laoliu, another partner of theirs. He was a bit older and usually responsible for contacting buyers here.
Did you bring the items?
Lu Shen walked out of the main room, looking at Qin Sheng with a determined gaze, his eyes revealing a clear sense of exhaustion.
Qin Sheng opened the bag and smiled mysteriously, "Brother Shen, these are all top-quality mountain products. When will the buyer come to pick them up?"
Lu Shen glanced at it and said, "No rush, we can trade tomorrow."
After hesitating for a moment, he still asked, "Alright, Brother Shen, haven't you had a proper rest for several days since your trip to Beijing?"
"I'm fine, as long as things go smoothly."
Lu Shen didn't care much. He had already shortened the time by two days as much as possible so that he could come back to see Huanhuan sooner.
"By the way, did Huanhuan ask you about me?"
"What a coincidence, my sister-in-law just caught me at the school gate, but I didn't say anything, I just told her that you'd be back in a couple of days."
Qin Sheng gulped down a large glass of water and smeared his lips arrogantly. "Brother Shen, some people in the class are saying that you and Huang Xuelian are dating. It seems that your wife has misunderstood."
Who is Huang Xuelian?
Lu Shen frowned, his heart clenching at the thought of the girl being wronged.
Qin Sheng nearly choked.
"Brother, you really don't know Huang Xuelian?"
Lu Shen's eyes darkened, a cold glint flashing within them.
Qin Sheng coughed, no longer daring to be nonchalant. "She's the prettiest girl in our class, lots of men like her. She even confessed to you, but you ignored her."
"Asheng, I'm going to find Huanhuan. If you can't make it back tonight, you can go and make the deal with Lao Liu."
After several days of missing her, coupled with the fact that the girl had been wronged, Lu Shen had no interest in making a deal.
"Brother Shen, you can go find your wife without worry. Lao Liu and I will definitely complete the mission."
Feng Laoliu, who was listening from the side, was completely confused. He nudged Qin Sheng's arm and asked, "Hey, is Brother Shen dating someone? How come I didn't know?"
Although he was older than Lu Shen, he admired Lu Shen's way of doing things and believed that he could make a lot of money by following him.
Qin Sheng continued gossiping, "That happened more than a month ago. When you went out with Brother Shen this time, didn't you notice anything different about him?"
Feng Laoliu thought back for a moment and then said in a daze, "Shen Ge seems to have bought a necklace. It was quite small and delicate. I thought it was for his aunt."
"Are you stupid? Shen has gone out so many times, have you ever seen him buy anything for your aunt?"
Qin Sheng rolled his eyes at him and started tidying up the things.
"Enough talk, come and pack up, we have a deal to make later."
Lu Shen lingered at the entrance of the family compound, praying that he could see Huanhuan.
Perhaps God heard his heartfelt words, for Huanhuan was walking towards him dejectedly.
As Li Yuehuan walked, she kicked the stones under her feet, "You stinky Lu Shen, you stinky Lu Shen, if you don't show up soon, I'm not going to talk to you anymore."
Suddenly she bumped into a wall, which bounced her back.
Smelling the familiar scent, she subconsciously looked up, her eyes filled with surprise, "Lu Shen, you're back."
The next second, she quickly wiped the smile off her face and deliberately pouted, "So you do know how to come back, huh?"
"Come with me for a moment."
Lu Shen pulled her into a corner, trapping her between his chest and the wall.
The two looked at each other, but neither spoke.
Lu Shen asked in a low voice, "Have you missed me these past few days?"
"In no mood."
Li Yuehuan turned her face away, her voice cold.
That jerk disappeared without a word; she thought he'd eloped with some random woman.
Rumors about him and Huang Xuelian were still circulating on campus. How was she, his official girlfriend, supposed to handle the situation?
Lu Shen chuckled softly, "Are you angry?"
She said sarcastically, "How could I dare to be angry with you? We're just dating, it's nothing serious."
Realizing that Huanhuan was really angry, Lu Shen touched his nose and said, "I'm sorry, I left in a hurry that day and didn't have time to tell you. I've also been out of town taking care of some things these past few days. It wasn't that I was deliberately hiding from you."
"As for Huang Xuelian's matter..."
Li Yuehuan stopped him, "Wait."
