Zhou Xin brandished his hand in a hurry, “There’s no need! The young master doesn’t need…”
“Ah, just take it!” Luo Chen shoved the card into Zhou Xin’s hand, “I know you guys don’t need money, but we don’t know each other well so he shouldn’t spend money on it.”
“I haven’t even talked about how much I’d owe you for accommodation and food. Of course, if I bring it up, you’d call me silly. So, I’ll just treat it like I got lucky thanks to Qingqing here. If you don’t take this money, I’ll go buy clothes myself.”
Zhou Xin didn’t say anything more. Silently, he praised the young man for his values and went away.
Mu Jinghang asked Luo Chen, “How did you find us here?”
Luo Chen responded, “Qingqing told me. We’ve kept in touch. Of course, I know her whereabouts.”
Mu Jinghang continued, “But you haven’t graduated yet right? What about school?”
Luo Chen, “I spoke to the Dean and I’m taking a year off.”
Mu Jinghang was in shock, “Why do you suddenly want to follow us around? Even if it means taking a year off school? You also said you left in a rush?”
Luo Chen thought of something and his face darkened.
Qiao Qing opened her lips, “Let’s eat.”
“Ah, yes! I haven’t eaten today and I’m starving. Is there hot soup? I’ve been so cold during this trip and I want something hot.”
Luo Chen was so thankful that Qiao Qing diverted the conversation that he started to make demands shamelessly.
Zhou Xin smiled, “We have some. I’ll ask the maids to get you some.”
Then, Luo Chen noticed the ball of red fur by Qiao Qing’s foot.
Confused, he asked, “What is that? A pig that grew red fur?”
The firefox, “…”
Who the **** are you?!
You’re the pig with red fur!
Everyone started to laugh at that comment. The firefox jolted up and slapped Luo Chen’s knee with its arm.
Then, it sprawled out its limbs and like a koala, wrapped itself around Qiao Qing’s leg.
Mu Jinghang laughed so hard his teeth disappeared in his mouth, “The fox got so fat it’s no longer a fox! Yet it doesn’t let others make a comment! Bystanders’ eyes are the brightest!”
“Huh? That’s a fox?” Luo Chen was stunned.
Qiao Qing nodded and started to stroke the firefox’s fur to comfort it.
Luo Chen was so intrigued he tried to pat the fox but the fox clenched its teeth and hissed.
“Ack, ack!”
Go away!
Luo Chen rubbed his nose, “How come I think it can understand our language? Why is it not friendly towards me?”
“Yeah,” Mu Jinghang confirmed, “The fox is possessed.”
At first, they also all felt like that fox understood way too much. However, after they spent so much time together, they got used to it.
The fox, “…”
You’re the one who’s possessed!
All of you are possessed!
I am simply intelligent and extraordinary! Have you never heard of the fact that all red foxes are somewhat spiritual?
The group chatted and joked as they dined.
At the same time, in the Capital Country.
Inside Luo Chen’s family manor.
In the dining room, Tao Yi asked the sullen-looking Luo Xingqian, “What’s wrong with you? Where’s Luo Chen?”
Luo Xingqian’s face was tense and he didn’t answer right away. Then, he slammed down a letter onto the dining table.
“Read it yourself. He went to find Qiao Qing and them.”
Tao Yi froze. She took over the letter and started to read it with Luo Huaian.
Once she was done, she covered her mouth in shock, “Luo Chen went somewhere so far away all by himself!”
Hostility swiped across Luo Xingqian’s eyes, “Mom and dad, I’m going to leave the company to you. I’m going to country L to bring Luo Chen back.”
