Chapter 853: Chapter 853 Don’t Flirt with Me Today Chapter 853: Chapter 853 Don’t Flirt with Me Today Luo Qiao laughed when she heard Lu Yichen’s words, “Thank you, Brother Chen.”
Actually, there was really no need to take any money from Lu Yichen; the dividends from the partnerships she had in the past few years were quite substantial, not to mention the income from Yipin Fruits and Vegetables, Yipin Livestock and Poultry, and Yipin Flowers.
However, she was still very pleased that Lu Yichen would offer. After all, a hundred thousand yuan was a considerable sum in those days, especially since he had just invested in registering a construction company.
Lu Yichen pulled her into his arms and asked with a low chuckle, “How would you like to thank me?”
Luo Qiao leaned her head back, reached up to pull his head down, and planted a firm kiss on his face, “Is that enough?”
Lu Yichen didn’t answer but instead showed her with his actions.
It was a while before they parted, with hearts pounding and breathless, Luo Qiao coquettishly said, “Go get some hot water; I want to soak my feet.”
Lu Yichen kissed her face once more and then obediently said, “As you command.”
He settled Luo Qiao on the bed and picked up the basin from the rack, “I’ll be right back.”
Luo Qiao noticed that her interactions with Lu Yichen had changed over time; Lu Yichen was smiling more, and she felt the constant urge to be coddled.
Lu Yichen brought up a basin of hot water, “Qiaoqiao, come here, I’ll be at your service today.”
Luo Qiao laughed, “Don’t do it; I’ll take care of it myself. I’m ticklish.”
After setting down the water, he reached for Luo Qiao’s feet which she tried to pull away, but Lu Yichen laughed, “Don’t alarm your uncles, and besides, not everyone gets this treatment.”
He took off her socks and dipped her feet in the water, “Is it too hot?”
Smiling at him, Luo Qiao said, “It’s fine. Why do you insist on washing my feet? Tell me the truth.”
Lu Yichen wrapped his hands around her soft, white feet in the water, “I’ll wash them for you from now on, for a lifetime.”
“Oh, now your words are becoming cheesier, but I like it.”
After drying her feet once they were washed, Lu Yichen poured out the water and tidied the floor, then quickly locked the door and climbed into bed.
Lu Yichen embraced her, “I’ve finally made it onto your bed.”
Luo Qiao burst out laughing, “My bed isn’t so easily accessed.”
Lu Yichen looked at the giggling woman in his arms and whispered in Luo Qiao’s ear, “Don’t tease me today; I’ll satisfy you properly when we get home tomorrow.”
They laughed and frolicked together.
Early the next day, Luo Daoren received a phone call from his niece Luo Wenxiu, “Uncle, I have something to tell you.”
“Go ahead, I’m listening.”
“I’m getting engaged, can you attend?”
“You’re getting engaged? With whom? Have you understood everything clear?”
“Uncle, you’ve met him before, it’s Comrade Qin Haifeng, the police officer who helped us last time.”
“Oh, it’s him. He seems decent enough. Do you know everything about his family?”
“Mhmm, he told me everything, and Wensheng even went to his neighborhood to ask around. He has a good reputation, with one older brother, one older sister, and a younger brother. His parents are ordinary workers.”
“So, after you two are married, will you live at your mother-in-law’s or does his work provide housing?”
“He said that the police department has a dormitory where we can live after getting married. I haven’t visited his house, but from what he says, it seems the living conditions at home aren’t too spacious.”
“Alright, when’s the engagement? I’ll make the trip.”
“Next Sunday, which is a good thing since Wensheng is off work that day.”
At breakfast, Luo Daoren mentioned the matter, and Zhou Guifang said, “We’ll see who’s available next Sunday to accompany you. This is a big deal for Wenxiu. It would be best if the eldest, second, and third brothers could all come to give their support.”
Then she looked at the younger members at the table, “If you are free next Sunday, come along as well. We usually can’t make it because we live far away, but we must be there this time.”
Luo Xuyan said, “We can take the train on Saturday night; it won’t cause any trouble for Sunday morning, and we can buy sleeper tickets back in the evening, so it won’t interfere with Monday classes.”
Luo Daoren nodded, and the plan was set.
Lu Yichen looked up and asked, “Grandpa, that Qin Haifeng you’re talking about, he isn’t by chance my comrade-in-arms, is he?”
