Chapter 4028: Chapter 4028: Sister Qiao Barely Chatted for Ten Minutes
The girl’s footsteps slightly faltered.
But only for a second, as she quickly resumed her normal stride and left.
Lu Zhi watched her departing figure, his jade-like face betraying no emotion, as if suddenly devoid of any waves of feelings.
Jian Jin, noticing this, expressed some concern: "Boss, QIAO is just still mad about what happened before. She’ll be fine in a while."
Lu Zhi’s expression remained calm: "Let’s go back."
Jian Jin feared he might do something foolish again, so she circled around to block his path: "Boss, you’re not thinking of going after Ye Wangchuan again, are you?"
Lu Zhi lowered his eyelashes, concealing the turbulent emotions in his eyes, and said lightly: "Since she said we are strangers now, as a stranger, pursuing her again won’t feel strange, right?"
Jian Jin couldn’t keep up with his thought process and looked confused.
Lu Zhi raised his eyes to look at her: "She didn’t notice my feelings before because she always saw me as a friend. Now that we’re not friends, if I pursue her, she’ll understand my intentions."
Jian Jin understood.
"So, Boss, you think QIAO didn’t react before because she didn’t get your meaning?"
Suddenly, she recalled the corny love quotes Lu Zhi had posted in his friend circle, and those ugly gifts he sent to QIAO. She couldn’t help but twitch her mouth. She wanted to say that few women would realize someone is courting them when presented with a small Beretta or bizarrely ugly diamond bracelet.
Given Boss Lu’s previous approach, Jian Jin seriously doubted that QIAO simply wants to be strangers with him now. If he bothers QIAO a few more times, QIAO might actually want him gone.
However, he was at least not focusing on Ye Wangchuan, so Jian Jin breathed a sigh of relief: "She’ll understand!"
Lu Zhi relaxed his furrowed brows and maneuvered his wheelchair forward: "That’s good."
Jian Jin jogged up to push his wheelchair from behind, mentioning the beautifully packaged gift in their car trunk.
"What about the gift for Uncle..."
"Donate it to the Qing University research team in the name of Tian Chen," Lu Zhi said, squinting his cool eyes.
Jian Jin was pleased with his rare show of high emotional intelligence and smiled: "Alright, I’ll have someone take care of it. I’ll make sure Uncle knows it was from you."
Lu Zhi said nothing more.
He recalled again the image of Ye Wangchuan and Qiao Nian standing together.
That damned sense of harmony.
The mere thought of it sent stabbing pain through his heart.
He twitched the corner of his mouth, suppressing the urge to eliminate that person, and began to mentally outline the steps to pursuing someone.
**
Qiao Nian was unaware that after her words, Lu Zhi would consider the idea of ’strangers can get to know each other again and pursue.’
She returned within ten minutes, finding Ye Lan, Guan Yan, and the others.
Qin Si was surprised at her quick return: "Sister Qiao, are you done talking already?"
Qiao Nian nodded at him and walked over.
"Aunt Ye, when does the flight take off?"
Ye Lan looked at the time on her wrist: "In half an hour. Shall we head over now?"
"Mm." Qiao Nian agreed with this plan.
The group boarded the plane in grand fashion.
"Nian Nian, sit next to Wangchuan, we’ll go to the front." Ye Lan tugged Qin Si to the front, giving Qiao Nian and Ye Wangchuan space to be alone, and even brought Ye Qichen along: "Chen Chen, come with me."
Qiao Nian didn’t think much of it and went over to sit next to Ye Wangchuan, with a paper cup from the airport beverage shop by her hand.
She raised an eyebrow and looked over.
Ye Wangchuan, as if reading her mind, said, "I bought you some lemon water."
