Chapter 928: Chapter 928: Once Acknowledged, It’s for a Lifetime Chapter 928: Chapter 928: Once Acknowledged, It’s for a Lifetime The place to eat wasn’t too far, but the road wasn’t great. By the time they arrived, Luo Qiao turned to Lu Yichen, “Why don’t you come in with me? It’s mealtime anyway. If you go back to the office from here, the canteen will almost be out of food.”
Lu Yichen glanced at his watch, “Alright then.”
After the two of them entered together, they saw Tiong Qiufeng sitting in a quiet spot inside. Luo Qiao approached, “Sorry for being a bit late. You know I’ve got a family to drag around now, it’s hard for us to get out the door.”
Tiong Qiufeng smiled and looked towards Lu Yichen. After greeting him, she introduced him to Luo Qiao, “Qiaoqiao, this is my boyfriend, Wei Ziwen.”
Luo Qiao extended her hand, “Hello, I’m Luo Qiao, Qiufeng’s close friend. This is my husband, Lu Yichen.”
After the two men shook hands, everyone sat down. Tiong Qiufeng ordered dishes according to Luo Qiao’s preferences: “Qiaoqiao, I ordered the dishes based on what you like. Why don’t you order some that your husband enjoys?”
Luo Qiao picked up the glass that Lu Yichen had poured water into for her, “No need to order anything else. He has the same taste as me. Whatever I like, he likes too.”
Tiong Qiufeng tapped her arm, “Really now, not sparing the dog food.”
Luo Qiao chuckled as she looked at Lu Yichen, “She doesn’t seem to believe what I said?”
Lu Yichen smiled and topped up her water, “Later on, we’ll let facts do the talking. No need to argue with her.”
Tiong Qiufeng laughed it off, “You two really are something.”
After warming up with some hot water, Luo Qiao finally asked, “Mr. Wei, what do you do for a living?”
Wei Ziwen replied with a smile, “Just call me Ziwen. Qiufeng is the one I’ve chosen for myself, and her friends are mine too, so let’s just keep it casual.”
Luo Qiao nodded.
Wei Ziwen continued with a smile, “I work at a bank…”
It turned out Tiong Qiufeng was at the bank conducting some business when she encountered Wei Ziwen, who was inspecting work at a branch. A child, following his parents at the bank, happened to flick a glass marble that inadvertently ended up under Tiong Qiufeng’s high-heeled shoe. Losing her balance, she staggered and ended up in Wei Ziwen’s arms.
After hearing Tiong Qiufeng’s story, Luo Qiao commented, “Then you should thank that child. This is a marble-destined encounter for you two.”
They ordered a mandarin duck hotpot, and it was obvious from Wei Ziwen’s reluctance that he couldn’t handle spicy food. As they ate and chatted, Luo Qiao found Wei Ziwen to be quite agreeable.
Without being overly pretentious, Wei Ziwen spoke honestly, “I believe that there’s a predestined plan for everything. We might all be waiting for that destined person, so please believe me, I will be good to Qiufeng. Once I’ve made my choice, it’s for life.”
Luo Qiao said, “All of this will depend on what Qiufeng wants. I hope she’s happy, of course, and I hope you won’t act impulsively. Only after you’re sure that this is the significant other you’re looking for should you make a commitment—it wouldn’t be too late.”
Wei Ziwen nodded, “Understood, understood. I hope to gain Qiufeng’s approval soon.”
Lu Yichen occasionally chimed in, constantly taking care of Luo Qiao with great attention. Wei Ziwen unconsciously followed his lead, making the meal quite harmonious.
Just as Luo Qiao set down her chopsticks and was about to head to the restroom, a casual glance caused her face to change dramatically.
Lu Yichen immediately sensed something was off and followed her gaze, only to see Zhong Zhaowei and a girl cozily eating together.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Luo Qiao snatched her bag, used it as a shield to take out her camera, adjusted the angle, and captured the evidence. She then got up and walked towards the front desk from another direction. Lu Yichen followed closely behind, leaving their seats.
Tiong Qiufeng had no idea what had happened but noticed Luo Qiao’s expression didn’t look good.
Seeing Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen’s coats still at their seats, she decided not to move and just waited there.
Luo Qiao reached the front desk and asked, “Could I borrow your phone for a moment?”
The staff moved the phone up to the counter for her convenience, “Hello, Grandpa Yuan, is Sister Jianing at home?”
“Qiaoqiao, wait a moment, I’ll have someone call her down.”
Hearing that Old Master Yuan told the housekeeper, “Go upstairs and call Jianing down, tell her Qiaoqiao is looking for her.”
After giving the instructions, he put the phone back to his ear, “Qiaoqiao, when you have some time, bring the kids over to play. Can’t you spare some time to keep this old man company?”
