Chapter 851: Chapter 851 I Don’t Want You to Take Risks Chapter 851: Chapter 851 I Don’t Want You to Take Risks Luo Qiao saw that Lu Yichen remained unmoved, so she upped the ante, “In the future, we’re going to have babies, and I don’t want to live in constant fear every day. We must take this opportunity to deal with all these hidden dangers. Besides, your people are always protecting me in secret, there won’t be any problems.”
Lu Yichen still firmly said, “I’ve already got some leads on my side. I don’t want you to take any risks. Be good and listen, since they’re in such a hurry, this matter will soon be resolved.”
Luo Qiao, seeing that Lu Yichen wouldn’t agree, changed the subject, “Have your people look into Di Manning’s parents’ situation for me.”
Lu Yichen looked at Luo Qiao, “Has she come to you with any problems?”
Luo Qiao recounted the morning’s events, and with a profound look in his eyes, Lu Yichen said, “Alright, I’ll get back to you with news as soon as possible.”
Luo Qiao gazed out the car window, “There’s no rush with this matter, I just think it’s better to be safe than sorry.”
The two of them first went back to their family home to pick up the things they had brought from Shanghai, then headed to the Gu family, where, having called in advance, they arrived just in time for dinner.
Luo Qiao also shared the news about her guaranteed postgraduate spot and the hospital treatment with everyone. Old Master Gu laughed, “Yichen will have to drink a toast with me, this is really great news.”
Lu Yichen looked at Luo Qiao, who nodded, “You drink with grandpa, I’ll drive later.”
Stone laughed, “Sister is amazing. It seems I need to work even harder.”
Gu Qianru teased him with a smile, “Just maintain your current learning status and grades, that’s quite good, you’re already doing great. Why wear out your childhood like that?”
Luo Qiao also said, “Aunt is right. I’ve already learned it from the master, and now I’m just revising it, taking a shortcut. You shouldn’t wear yourself out. I want you to do things appropriate for your age and grow up happy.”
Stone nodded with a chuckle, “Got it, Sister.”
Luo Qiao turned to Bo Taifeng, “Taifeng, are you still adapting to school?”
Bo Taifeng said, “Uncle has helped me catch up with previous lessons, and now I can keep up with the class’s progress.”
“That’s good, one cannot rush to eat hot tofu, let’s take it slowly. I bought you some clothes, try them on after dinner.”
They both said in unison, “Thank you.”
Speaking of which, there was a little incident with the use of addresses. Originally, Taifeng called Stone ‘Big Brother’, but this would mean that Taifeng would have to call Lu Yichen ‘Brother’ as well, which Lu Yichen wouldn’t agree to.
So, Stone was promoted to ‘Uncle’ by Taifeng, which left Taifeng feeling conflicted for several days, haha.
After distributing the gifts brought back from Shanghai to everyone, Gu Qianru caressed the cheongsam Luo Qiao had given her, “This is truly beautiful, definitely the work of a skilled artisan.”
Luo Qiao smiled, “As long as Aunt likes it.”
Old Master Gu received a Hailiu Cigarette Mouthpiece and kept saying with delight, “Good, good, good, Qiaoqiao is so thoughtful.”
Both youngsters got two outfits each, perfect for the changing season just around the corner.
Stone changed out of his new clothes and approached Lu Yichen, “Brother, what gift did Sister bring for you?”
Although the address was a bit awkward, Stone didn’t want to change it and kept calling him that.
Lu Yichen stretched out his foot, and upon seeing the square-toed, thick-soled, hand-made, leather strapped shoes, Gu Qianru commented, “Top layer leather, Qiaoqiao is really generous.”
Lu Yichen didn’t speak, just smiled down at the leather shoes on his feet.
Luo Qiao then took out the things she brought back, “Aunt, these are silk foundations in five colors. Let my sister-in-law choose when she comes back. And these are gifts for sister-in-law and the two kids. The packet of food is for Big Brother.”
After saying this, she started laughing, and then everyone laughed, except for Lu Yixuan who was left out without a gift.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Yichen then said, “Grandpa, Aunt, Stone, Taifeng, we’re leaving now.”
Master Gu waved his hand, “Be safe on the road.”
After seeing off the young couple, Gu Qianru returned to the living room and said, “Stone, Taifeng, I’ll take you to buy a pair of shoes later to match these clothes.”
Old Master Gu, still playing with the Hailiu Cigarette Mouthpiece, commented, “Yichen is a lucky fellow.”
