Who? Who are they trying to snatch away?
She then heard a cold snort behind her. Li Xingwan slammed the car door shut and drove away.
As soon as she arrived at Qin Yu’s place, she saw the lights were on upstairs, with faint silhouettes moving around.
Li Xingwan once thought that the apartment she and Qin Yu rented while pretending to be poor was a bit too small.
She went upstairs and pushed open the door. Several pairs of eyes immediately fell on her, including Qin Xi’s.
"Hello, Uncle Qin." Li Xingwan greeted Qin Xi as soon as she saw him.
"Xingwan!!" Seeing her come in, Qin Yu immediately rushed over. "Thank goodness you’re here! Quick! Quick, save me!"
She was scared out of her wits at that moment.
Her dad actually wanted her to get engaged to Lu Ziqian!!
Even bringing up some past flirtations didn’t work.
Qin Xi glanced over. "Miss Li, thank you for taking care of Xiao Yu. I heard that ever since she left home, she’s been staying with you. The two of you even pretended to be poor and rented this place together?"
Li Xingwan cleared her throat. "Yes, yes, yes, and today I’m just realizing how small this apartment is."
It could barely fit everyone here.
"Dad! Don’t try to get chummy with Xingwan!" Qin Yu said loudly. "Anyway, Xingwan is here to help me! There’s no way she would agree to me getting engaged to Lu Ziqian."
Lu Ziqian, standing nearby: "..."
"Miss Qin, could you at least consider my feelings before yelling so loudly?"
"We’re brothers, why worry about these things?"
Lu Ziqian smiled faintly. "I, Lu Ziqian, don’t become brothers with women."
"Xingwan." She shook Li Xingwan’s arm again. "Please help me stop this from happening."
She couldn’t shake the feeling that since Lu Ziqian had arrived, he hadn’t once said he disagreed with the engagement.
He had even been trending on social media!
Li Xingwan handed her an iPad.
Qin Yu: "...What are you doing?"
She looked down to see Lu Ziqian’s financial details on the screen.
Assets too mysterious to count, easily in the billions.
Also, he’s the only son of the Lu Family.
And he’s squeaky clean, meaning there were no scandals involving him.
She didn’t know why Shen Yi and the others were talking about him like that, but the information presented indicated he was clean.
"Why... why are you showing me this?" Qin Yu felt awkward and a little uncomfortable. Especially since Lu Ziqian’s photo, damn it, exuded a magnetic charm. It was quite something.
"Look at how handsome he is."
"Worth billions, only child."
Li Xingwan moved a bit closer. "Can you guarantee that the man you find in the future will definitely be better than him? More handsome? Wealthier?"
Qin Yu: "...Feelings can’t be measured by money! There has to be some love at least."
"Then why do you look shy when you see Lu Ziqian’s photo?" She lowered her voice so no one else could hear.
Which caused Qin Yu to quickly cover her mouth and say, "Don’t say such things."
She had only met Lu Ziqian twice.
Where would the shyness even come from?
"Anyway, I think you should get to know him first," Li Xingwan said. "Who knows, maybe he’s a great person?"
The book said Lu Ziqian was infatuated with Qin Yu. From when, though, was unknown. Maybe it was from the first glance. Maybe it was from their initial interaction.
Moreover, just when she pushed open the door, she caught a glance of Lu Ziqian’s gaze on Qin Yu.
