Chapter 784: Chapter 784: Want to Find Out the Person Behind Chapter 784: Chapter 784: Want to Find Out the Person Behind Luo Qiao said indifferently, “That’s just me. If it were someone else, they might have held a grudge against her.”
With Cui Yueyue’s mischief out of the way, the atmosphere was actually quite good. Lu Yichen didn’t care what others thought and took care of Luo Qiao meticulously during the meal.
After dinner, without sitting for too long, Luo Qiao proposed to leave. Wang Xiaoxin warmly invited Luo Qiao to visit her home when she had the time. Noticing Wang Xiaoxin’s genuine sincerity, Luo Qiao agreed.
Lu Yichen took Luo Qiao out of the Lu Family’s residence, and instead of sending her home, he said they had planned to go to a movie together.
Starting the car, Lu Yichen reached over and took Luo Qiao’s hand, “I’m sorry you were put in that situation. If my dad had kept Cui Yueyue today, I would’ve pulled you out without hesitation. It’s your first time at the courtyard here, and I was afraid of any negative gossip, so I didn’t want to make a big scene. Sorry.”
Luo Qiao laughed, “It’s okay. Cui Yueyue was asking for trouble, and she’s been taught a lesson. I heard your dad making a phone call; it probably won’t be easy for her to come into the courtyard in the future. Besides, I didn’t lose out, so there’s really no need to be angry over her.”
“But about that remark she made for Luo Jinwen, I do want to ask. Is it possible that Luo Jinwen still harbors feelings for you? Otherwise, Cui Yueyue, despite being foolish, wouldn’t have made such a comment out of context,” Luo Qiao added.
Lu Yichen pulled the car over to the side of the road and clasped Luo Qiao’s left hand with both of his, “I’m not sure how she feels, but in my heart, you are my only one. You are the first person I ever liked and the last one too. I will only have you in my heart. What do others have to do with me?”
Luo Qiao muttered, “Where did you learn such sweet nothings?”
Lu Yichen brought Luo Qiao’s hand to his lips and kissed it, “These words come straight from the heart.”
He then placed Luo Qiao’s hand on his chest, “Feel for yourself.”
Regarding the Luo Family’s matters, Lu Yichen thought it was best to give Luo Qiao a heads-up. He was afraid someone might target her; although she was highly skilled, one cannot be too careful.
The day was cold, and there weren’t many people on the road at this time. Luo Qiao leaned her head against Lu Yichen, “I guess Luo Jinwen still has feelings for you. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have let Cui Yueyue, this little pawn, come out to cause trouble.”
Lu Yichen pondered for a moment before revisiting the history between the Luo Family and his, and he also analyzed the current situation for Luo Qiao. After listening, Luo Qiao said, “So, you mean your last attack was premeditated by Luo Fangyuan.”
Lu Yichen looked outside the car, “Whether it was premeditated or a spur-of-the-moment decision, the result was the same.”
Luo Qiao asked, “Then why hasn’t your dad broken ties with the Luo Family after knowing about their actions? Why continue to interact with them as if nothing’s wrong?”
Lu Yichen glanced at Luo Qiao, “They have someone behind them. My dad wants to draw out the person behind them; otherwise, we will never have peace.”
Luo Qiao said, “So, you guys don’t know what exactly they’re looking for?”
Lu Yichen nodded, “We’re not clear on the specifics, but we suspect it has to do with my grandmother’s family. We’ve recently found some sporadic clues but still can’t piece them together. You also need to be a little more cautious lately; I’m worried the person behind this might target our family members.”
Luo Qiao teased Lu Yichen, “I feel like I’ve been duped. I haven’t even married you yet, and I’m already caught up in such big trouble. I’m considering whether to ditch you and find a more stable person to spend my days with.”
Lu Yichen pinched Luo Qiao’s cheek with a smile, “It’s too late.”
After joking for a while, Luo Qiao settled down, “Don’t worry. If they dare to come after me, they won’t get off easily.”
Lu Yichen smoothed back Luo Qiao’s stray hair with his hand, “Still, be careful. The person behind this is probably not simple.”
Having finished their conversation, they started the car again and headed for the movie theater. Lu Yichen told Luo Qiao to wait for a moment, then he took two cowhide bags out of the trunk.
When Luo Qiao stepped in, she laughed, “When did you prepare this?”
Lu Yichen casually grabbed the thermal cup from the car, locked the door, and with Luo Qiao, headed to the ticket booth. Seeing that the next showing was ‘Ripe Melon Falls from the Vine,’ they bought tickets and walked inside.
