Chapter 253 Go Play
At the same time, in Qu Le's laboratory.
"You said Lu Qian quarreled with Cheng Yi in front of you?"
Bai Yao paused while lighting a cigarette and looked at Qu Le in surprise.
"Yeah, because of Vanessa," Qu Le sat on the table, swinging his feet leisurely. "My brother is such a jerk. How could he treat Lu Qian like this?"
Bai Yao took down the cigarette and pinched it in his hand, "Vanessa, your housekeeper?"
Qu Le nodded.
"But actually, I'm not very familiar with her. At best, we're just ordinary friends."
After all, after Qu Le came to Tavia, he either stayed in the laboratory or went out to play every day, turning a deaf ear to what was happening outside. He would only go to Vanessa when he needed help.
Bai Yao continued to ask: "How is Cheng Yi's relationship with her?"
"That's good. They've known each other for seven or eight years, right? She's the woman who's stayed with Cheng Yi the longest."
"Where is she from?"
"She's a native Italian. I heard she's a down-and-out aristocrat, and Cheng Yi won it from the casino."
Bai Yao heard this, and a suspicious light flashed in his eyes, "Casino? Which casino?"
"Then I don't know. There are so many casinos in Italy, and this happened so many years ago. It's not something I experienced personally."
Bai Yao half-closed his eyes, put the cigarette back into his mouth, and lit it slowly.
"Okay, there's nothing for you to do now, go and have fun."
In the blink of an eye it was dinner time.
A group of people were sitting around the main table in the restaurant, but no one dared to speak.
Cheng Yi sat at the head of the table with a murderous look on his face. Lu Qian did not sit next to him as usual, but dragged a chair and sat on the other side of the table away from Cheng Yi.
Everyone at the table was on pins and needles, like children at the dinner table waiting to be scolded by their parents.
At this time, Bai Yao appeared at the door of the restaurant with Qu Le in his arms.
Qu Le was still puzzled. Didn't Bai Yao always refuse to see Cheng Yi? Why did he take the initiative to come to the restaurant for dinner?
Bai Yao walked into the restaurant, blinked his phoenix eyes, and quickly scanned the people in front of him.
"Go ahead," he smiled and raised his hand to push Qu Le's waist, "find a place to sit."
Then, he walked straight to Lu Qian, leaned forward, and leaned elegantly on the backrest of the European-style court chair.
He bent down and started chatting with Lu Qian in a familiar manner: "Why do I feel that Chef Tavia's cooking skills are just so-so? He only makes some flashy things."
Lu Qian looked up at Bai Yao and said, "I can only say that you have seen too many good things. This kind of thing is not pleasing to you. You will be obedient after eating a few bran meals."
"But my appetite hasn't been very good lately. I want to eat something refreshing." Bai Yao pushed his glasses and chuckled. "I wonder if I can still have the midnight snack you made tonight?"
"Why not?" Lu Qian tilted his head and asked, "But if you don't have a good appetite, don't have any midnight snacks for now. I'll make you whatever you want tomorrow."
Bai Yao stood up and bowed slightly towards Lu Qian, "Thank you in advance."
Cheng Yi's face, which was already ashen, now turned darker.
During the ten days he was gone, had Bai Yao and Lu Qian's relationship become too close? Hadn't the atmosphere between them become completely like that of friends?
And why did that bitch have such a poor appetite and asked Lu Qian to cook for him? The worst thing was that Lu Qian agreed so readily.
Bai Yao frowned, buried his eyes in the hair, and glanced in Cheng Yi's direction inconspicuously through the reflection of his glasses.
He curled his lips, chuckled, and sat down next to Qu Le with a swagger.
The servants standing beside Cheng Yi felt the air pressure getting lower and lower, the air becoming thinner, and it became difficult to breathe.
The head maid forced herself to support her shaking legs and moved closer to Cheng Yi, "Master... yes, okay, let's have dinner..."
Cheng Yi said nothing and glanced at the head maid coldly.
The head maid's scalp tingled instantly, but she also understood what Cheng Yi meant, and quickly called out to the person behind her: "Quick! Quick! Serve the food!"
The servants set off quickly and placed the food on the table, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
This eerie dinner lasted most of the way through, and everyone felt a lump in their throat.
Bai Yao was very calm. After searching the dining table, he silently locked his eyes on Vanessa who was sitting next to him.
"Oh, by the way, Miss Vanessa, could you please prepare a room for me?"
"A room?"
When Qu Le heard Bai Yao's words, he first turned his head and looked at him in confusion.
"Of course I'm happy to help," Vanessa agreed casually. "May I ask what you need the room for, Mr. Bai? I can have someone arrange a suitable one."
Bai Yao smiled gently and looked at Qu Le, who looked puzzled. "Didn't you say you had something to discuss with Lu Qian? If you two live together, won't I have to find another place to live?"
"What... um..."
Qu Le was about to ask why she didn't remember saying this to Bai Yao, but Bai Yao directly forked a piece of steak and stuffed it into Qu Le's mouth, interrupting her.
"Yeah, I know you're very touched, no need to say it."
"Crack—"
Suddenly, an untimely noise came from the main seat of the restaurant.
Everyone looked over.
The arrogant and unruly man sitting in the main seat was clenching his fists with a look of forbearance on his face. Even though he was trying hard to suppress his anger, it was still clearly visible.
Those golden brown eyes had dimmed to the point of losing their color.
The crystal wine glass he was holding tightly in his hand had cracked and made a clicking sound as the veins on the back of his hand and arm bulged.
Bai Yao glanced at Cheng Yi with interest, then continued to stuff a piece of fruit into Qu Le's mouth as if nothing had happened.
"Miss Vanessa, please prepare a room for me to stay in for a long time. I'm afraid that days like this will happen often in the future."
“…”
After hearing what Bai Yao said, Cheng Yi almost fainted.
What’s even worse is that he can neither refute nor refuse and can only suffer in silence.
He had no choice but to look at Lu Qian across the table with an ambiguous look, hoping that she would not go.
Lu Qian calmly picked up the water cup and took a sip without even looking at him, "Okay, then I'll stay with Lele tonight."
Cheng Yi: “…”
Bai Yao's lips curled up into a smile, he lowered his head, and reached out to wipe Qu Le's mouth, "Are you full?"
Qu Le nodded.
"Then go and help me pack my things."
Having said that, Bai Yao stood up and was about to leave with Qu Le.
When passing by Vanessa, Bai Yao glanced at her plate and asked casually, "Miss Vanessa, do you believe in any religion?"
"Um?"
Vanessa obviously didn't react. She turned to look at Bai Yao and let out a confused sound.
"Why did Master Bai suddenly ask this?"
"Nothing," Bai Yao said, pushing up his glasses with a smile. "I've just been reading the New Testament lately, and I thought Miss Vanessa might be a Catholic, so I wanted to discuss it with you."
Vanessa smiled and said, "Then I might disappoint Mr. Bai's expectations."
"No, it was me who was abrupt."
Bai Yao apologized briefly, then turned around and took Qu Le's hand, "Let's go."
