Free Web NovelChapter 1651: Chapter 1631:
Bringing Zhang Sheng back home, An Hao went straight to the bathroom to shower. Actually, he preferred when his sister helped - it was faster and more comfortable, but here, his sister wouldn’t assist him, especially with an outsider present.
Luo Shufan came out with two glasses of water and handed them to Luo Qianqian and Zhang Sheng: "You guys chat, I’m going to get some work done." Saying that, he hugged his computer and went to the study. Although there was some distance, any movement could still be seen.
Zhang Sheng was dumbfounded. Was he being treated like some sort of villain? "Your brother... really cares about you, huh?"
When Luo Qianqian heard that, she rolled her eyes directly: "That’s my brother, my own brother. Who else would he care for if not me? Surely not you, right?"
Though Luo Shufan was in the study, he still heard what Luo Qianqian said and couldn’t help but smile. Ah, having a sister is great, much better than having a younger brother. Hearing that, he felt quite at ease.
Zhang Sheng couldn’t see Luo Shufan’s expression, but he noticed the atmosphere in the room seemed lighter and not as awkward as before. Just moments ago, it felt like he was being watched by a venomous snake, the hairs on his back standing on end.
Luo Qianqian noticed Zhang Sheng relaxing a bit and chuckled. Her brother sure did put pressure on people. It obviously had nothing to do with her, so what was the point?
"Alright, just have some water and relax, no need to be so tense. We’re not here to talk business." Luo Qianqian calmly sipped from her water glass, "Don’t worry, no poison in it."
Zhang Sheng was speechless. Why even mention poison? Did he have any worth to be poisoned by Luo Qianqian?
He took a sip of his water, then looked at Luo Qianqian, "So... I’d like to know..."
"Whatever you want to know, let’s leave it for later. First, let’s talk about what I want to know, then depending on my mood, we might discuss what you want to know." Luo Qianqian cut him off, a look full of gossip on her face.
Zhang Sheng was at a loss, but obediently nodded. After all, what he wanted to know could only be answered by Luo Qianqian, and he had no other options.
"So, question one, what do you have to protect her with, that gives you the courage to confess?"
Zhang Sheng couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat after hearing Luo Qianqian’s sharp question. Was this the first question already so direct?
Besides... did she know about it?
His cheeks immediately flushed red, and hearing her words, he couldn’t treat her like that much younger kid anymore. This was completely like He Wenyu’s family protecting their own!
Nervously looking at Luo Qianqian, "Uh... my maternal family is also quite influential, I..."
"Hmm, and how does that compare to me?" Luo Qianqian interrupted Zhang Sheng, looking nonchalant, "I won’t deny that my grandfather’s family was once influential, but now my family is just regular business folks. People see me for who I am, not for what my family does. So do you think your family’s influence matters to me?"
Zhang Sheng: "..." Who dares compare with you? Although he didn’t know why, he clearly felt those people he knew through his maternal family’s connections revered Luo Qianqian almost blindly.
Even those who usually seemed arrogant were forced to smile humbly in front of Luo Qianqian. He didn’t understand it but didn’t probe further. Asking would only expose him.
"So don’t talk to me about family status, okay? Although I do care about compatible social standings, I care more about her happiness. So we can discuss family status later." Luo Qianqian spoke evenly, "Moreover, I think personal achievements are more reassuring than what’s given by family."
Luo Shufan: "..." So, are you not planning on being a freeloader anymore? Planning to be self-sufficient now?
Zhang Sheng looked at Luo Qianqian in confusion. How was he supposed to respond to this? She didn’t care about what he had...
"So, what can you offer me as assurance that you can give her a lifetime of happiness, letting me hand her over to you with peace of mind?" Luo Qianqian looked at her nails, "You should know, the Luo family has many brothers, all of them elites, and all can guarantee faithfulness. That’s the Luo family tradition. So, how do you propose to outshine my brothers and earn my trust?"
Luo Shufan: "???" Although her words weren’t incorrect, why did it sound so strange? Did it mean they became He Wenyu’s backups? Is that what it meant, right?
"Ah... Sister, the bubbles got into my eyes..." Before Zhang Sheng could answer, a voice came from the bathroom, An Hao’s urgent call.
Luo Qianqian immediately jumped up, "You think about it first." And then rushed into the bathroom.
An Hao was covered in bubbles, his head also full of white foam, standing in the bathtub with his eyes closed and streaks of water on his face. The showerhead was still spraying water, but An Hao had retreated to the corner, avoiding the water.
"Come here." Luo Qianqian grabbed a towel and looked at her brother in the bathtub full of grievance, chuckling: "Why didn’t you call your sister if you couldn’t do it yourself? Come here, let your sister wash your hair."
She wiped An Hao’s cheeks with the towel, then stuffed it into An Hao’s hand, "Hold it, be careful of your eyes."
Luo Qianqian, not skilled in hair-washing, figured it out as she went, carefully rinsing away the bubbles, then washing his body thoroughly. She took a towel, wrapped An Hao in it, and carried him out of the bathroom, calmly holding him on her lap and drying his hair and body.
"Xiao An Hao, your little tummy is deflated, are you hungry?" After drying his hair, Luo Qianqian wrapped the towel around him, "Go find your brother to get dressed, then go eat."
"Okay." An Hao, running barefoot, rushed into the study. Luo Shufan, hearing Luo Qianqian, calmly put down his computer, picked up a set of clothes, and seeing An Hao run in, naturally prepared to help him dress.
But An Hao wore a disgusted look, took the clothes himself, and with a serious face, began to dress: "Brother, you really have the leisure to prepare clothes for me."
"..." Luo Shufan felt this little rascal was cuter in front of Luo Qianqian! Facing him was simply the Demon Lord of Mayhem!
He suddenly understood why Fourth Brother signed up for the "Dad class"...
Littles rascals were simply harder to handle than business matters!
After all, in business, as long as the interests were met, issues could be resolved.
But with little rascals... they simply play by their own rules!
"If your sister were to date, could you still be so calm?" An Hao, giving himself clothes, calmly looked at Luo Shufan.
"..." Luo Shufan really didn’t want to say, An Hao, your sister is already in love, you know? However, he was more curious about what An Hao would do when he found out in the future.
With a mischievous smirk, "Remember to brush your teeth after dinner."
