Chapter 198: You Can Ask Me If You Want to Know Anything
Chu Luo wasn’t frightened by his words at all. Instead, she asked, “Are you threatening me?”
As she spoke, her hand reached into her Heaven-and-Earth pouch calmly. She took out a pill and pinched it between her fingers. She planned to deal with this person if he said anything nasty again.
Unexpectedly, Duanmu Tian shrugged at her. “I’m just saying if. My Duanmu family will definitely not talk about this.”
Chu Luo put down the pill, picked up the tea in front of her, and took a small sip. She didn’t reply.
Duanmu Tian also picked up his tea to drink. He wondered, ‘Can a person’s character really change so drastically in just a few months? Also, why is her appearance no longer the same as in the previous pictures?’
If he didn’t know that Li Yan’s woman was Chu Luo from the Chu family, Duanmu Tian would have suspected that he had found the wrong person.
The two of them had just finished drinking a cup of tea when there was a considerable commotion by the door, followed by the sound of a wheelchair rolling.
Soon, Li Yan, who had a cold aura, was pushed in by Qin Ming. The temperature in the entire cafe seemed to drop by several degrees.
Chu Luo happened to be facing him. When she saw him, she happily waved at him and called out sweetly, “Li Yan.” She subconsciously shifted her chair to the side and gave up her seat to have him park his wheelchair there.
Duanmu Tian didn’t turn his head, but the lines on his face were a little tense.
Li Yan was pushed by Qin Ming to stop beside Chu Luo. He looked at Duanmu Tian with his sharp eyes and asked in a low voice, “What did you say to Luoluo?”
Duanmu Tian was vexed that he was so afraid of Li Yan every time he saw him. He put on a calm and composed expression and shrugged. “I said whatever Miss Chu wanted to know… Look, I’m not so bad to your people, right?”
“Hmph!” Li Yan snorted and turned to ask Chu Luo, “Are you going back?”
Chu Luo nodded. “I still have something on. I originally planned to go back.”
“Mm, let’s go.”
Chu Luo stood up and followed Qin Ming as he pushed the wheelchair.
Duanmu Tian sat there and watched the two of them leave without even bidding him farewell. He could no longer restrain his face, and it became almost twisted.
After he heard the sound of the car leaving from outside, he took out his phone and dialed a number. He gritted his teeth and said, “I’ve already finished testing the person you asked me to test.”
The other party: “How was it?”
Duanmu Tian: “As we’ve investigated, her personality has changed drastically, and even her appearance did so as well… Moreover, right now, she’s the most perfect girl I’ve ever seen with her disposition and appearance. How could a person like Li Yan be so lucky as to find such a girl? If…”
The other party: “Put away your flowery thoughts.”
Duanmu Tian replied, “I know, I know. I’m just saying.”
The other party: “What else did you find out?”
Duanmu Tian said, “Chu Luo and Blazing Glory. He chose Chu Luo… I don’t believe in his choice. Do you think he guessed my goal today and purposely put on such a performance?”
The other party was silent for a few seconds before saying, “After she goes to school, arrange for one or two people to stay by her side. Don’t appear in front of her anymore.”
Duanmu Tian said reluctantly, “Got it.”
…
As long as Li Yan was in a wheelchair, he would have many bodyguards with him.
When Chu Luo went out, she got surrounded by all the bodyguards. Coupled with the fact that there weren’t many cars on the street, no one saw her at all.
On the way back, Chu Luo saw that Li Yan was frowning and reached out to grab his hand.
Li Yan grabbed her hand and looked at her.
Chu Luo asked, “Are you worried about something?”
“No,” Li Yan said. “You can ask me directly if there’s anything you want to know.”
Chu Luo didn’t expect him to mind this matter. She smiled and said, “There’s nothing to ask. It’s not like I don’t know about you.”
Li Yan had told her about his relationship with his family last time. Chu Luo didn’t think he was wrong. “Repay kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred. It’s an unchanging law.”
When he heard her say this, Li Yan’s heart suddenly felt warm. He pulled her into his arms and swept his lips across her forehead. His voice was hoarse. “Little thing, I really want to eat you up.”
Chu Luo’s face turned red.
She patted him in dissatisfaction. “Don’t say such things.”
Li Yan looked at the embarrassed her and deepened his gaze. He lifted the barrier between them and lowered his head to kiss her.
Chu Luo quickly covered his mouth with her hand and lectured with a stern face, “How can you do such a thing outside!”
Li Yan deliberately asked, “You mean, we can do it when we’re at home?”
Chu Luo: “…” Could he not say such embarrassing words?!
Li Yan looked at her flushed face and buried his head in her neck.
The laughter was low and bewitching, and at the same time, it was filled with obvious pleasure.
However, Chu Luo was a little embarrassed by his chuckle. She struggled out of his arms and quickly moved to the side with her back facing him. After snorting in a tsundere way, she ignored him and took out her phone to look.
Unexpectedly, just as she took out her phone, Wang Mingtao called.
Chu Luo then remembered that Wang Mingtao had said that he would call her in an hour. She picked up the call and, indeed, she heard Wang Mingtao ask worriedly, “Sister Chu, are you alright?”
Chu Luo replied, “I’m fine. I’m already on the way back.”
Wang Mingtao heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s good that you’re fine. I was just afraid that those people would make things difficult for you.” As he spoke, he couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Sister Chu, who were those people? They really don’t look like good people.”
Chu Luo smiled. “I’ll beat them up until they turn over a new leaf. Don’t worry… I’m hanging up.”
She moved to hang up.
Wang Mingtao quickly stopped her. “Sister Chu, wait! Dave called me again just now. He asked me if the houses near Imperial University are easy to buy. Why do you think he asked that? He’s a foreigner. How can he possibly buy a house in the capital?”
Chu Luo didn’t know either. She said, “Just answer truthfully.”
The two of them hung up and Chu Luo opened the browser to look.
Suddenly, she saw a piece of news. It said that last night, the boss of Chen’s Medicinal Store, who was at the herb market, had been beaten up and his herbs shop had been smashed. The boss of Chen’s Medicinal Store said that a group of hooligans had entered to rob him. He even mentioned the characteristics of those hooligans.
When she saw this, Chu Luo’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
Chen Han had had a good idea. On the surface, he didn’t dare to offend the debt collectors, but he wanted to use the pretext of gangsters to get the police to find and arrest them.
Why didn’t it occur to him that since those people dared to blatantly come to him for revenge, they must not be afraid of being caught?
After reading this news, Chu Luo realized that the man beside her was very quiet. She subconsciously turned around.
She saw Li Yan working on a laptop with his earpiece attached.
The moment she turned around, Li Yan took off his earpiece and closed his laptop. He looked at her and said with a serious expression, “You’re willing to talk to me now.”
Chu Luo couldn’t help but laugh.
She put her phone away and said, “As long as you don’t kiss me outside.”
Li Yan carried her over.
“Big baddie! I told you not to kiss me outside.”
“I’m not kissing you, I’m just hugging you.”
As Li Yan spoke, he pulled her into his arms.
Chu Luo leaned her head on his shoulder and asked, “Is the old master of the Duanmu family the one who saved you?”
“Mm.”
Chu Luo thought for a while and said, “Is it that by treating Old Master’s illness and making him live for a few more years, you will have repaid his kindness?”
Li Yan didn’t speak.
Chu Luo continued, “In that case, I’ll help you find those three medicinal herbs when the time comes.”
Li Yan hugged her waist tightly. “I’ll send someone to search regarding this matter. You don’t have to interfere.”
At this moment, the car suddenly stopped.
Li Yan pressed the button on the side and asked, “What happened?”
Qin Ming’s voice came over. “Master, a few cars are blocking our car.”
“Go down and take a look.”
“Yes.”
Chu Luo moved to the window and looked out. She said to Li Yan, “The people who stopped us are a group of foreign bodyguards.”
She then retracted her gaze. “Could they be Anya’s bodyguards?”
Just as she finished speaking, Qin Ming walked over with someone.
Qin Ming knocked on the window and it rolled down a little.
Qin Ming said to the two of them, “Master, Miss Chu, the person stopping the car is Princess Anya’s guard.”
After saying that, he moved to the side. A brown-haired, green-eyed man walked over and respectfully said to the two of them, “CEO Li, Miss Chu, I’m the captain of Princess Anya’s guards, Philip. The Princess invites you over for a chat.”
Chu Luo sneered. “I think your princess isn’t inviting us. She’s asking you to capture us, right?”
Philip’s expression remained respectful. “I think Miss Chu misunderstood. The Princess just wants to invite the two of you over for a chat. She doesn’t mean anything else.”
Chu Luo wanted to continue, but Li Yan said coldly, “Tell Anya we’re not free.”
With that, the car window was lowered.
Philip was anxious and wanted to slap the car window. Qin Ming stopped him and said expressionlessly, “My master said that he won’t go. You better not stop him.”
Philip frowned and looked troubled. “The Princess said that I have to invite Mr. Li and Miss Chu over today. If the mission isn’t completed, I don’t have to go back.”
After saying that, he waved Qin Ming’s arm away.
Qin Ming’s arm was like steel and couldn’t be waved away.
At this moment, the car started. Qin Ming said, “You better get your men to drive the car away. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee what will happen later.”
