Chapter 448: Chapter 448: Are You Madly in Love with Brother?

"Where are you? I’ll give you 30 minutes to meet at the usual spot!"

"Even if it’s Saturday, it’s not right to drag you out, but you know this is a chance not to be missed!"

"Xiao Xie, come over and serve tea to your sister-in-law, hurry!"

After having coffee and a meal, since leaving Seattle, Lue Xizhou started calling people.

The Ferrari roared towards Bar Street. Ten minutes later, Lue Xizhou got out of the car with Qin Chu.

"Lue Xizhou!"

Qin Chu grabbed the excited Lue Xizhou, hesitated, "When we got here, I saw a Si City Building over there, it’s a mall, right? Should we... go take a look?"

Lue Xizhou was taken aback, realizing what she meant.

Qin Chu had decided to come to Si City on a whim.

She was wearing a black backless jumpsuit, cool and beautiful but not very formal.

Even the light makeup on her face was applied effortlessly in the airport restroom.

It’s such a light makeup it was almost bare-faced.

She thought it was just the two of them.

Having coffee in a Western restaurant would be nice.

Or holding hands and taking a walk by the sea.

Her outfit would have been no problem.

But he called so many friends, and maybe they’d bring their girlfriends.

The thought of entering the private room and seeing all kinds of beautifully made-up women.

And she, looking so plain among them, seemed more like the little match girl.

Qin Chu hesitated.

A proud smile spread in Lue Xizhou’s eyes.

From the first time he saw her beside Ye Li, to every time after.

She was cold and sharp, holding onto the identity of a Qin family’s illegitimate daughter, but still proud like a black swan.

But his black swan showed insecurity and worry in her eyes and brows, afraid of embarrassing him just because her outfit and makeup weren’t elaborate enough.

Lue Xizhou’s heart, already soft, was like being tickled by a feather floating down.

Instantly scattered into a pile of goose down.

"Qin Chu..."

Turning around and embracing her, Lue Xizhou lowered his head to brush her nose with a chuckle in his voice, "Honestly, are you madly in love with me?"

"Yes!"

He had meant to tease her, but when Qin Chu nodded to admit it, Lue Xizhou’s smile gradually faded.

Looking at the sincere eyes gazing at her, Qin Chu nodded and said, "Lue Xizhou, I’ve always been serious about this!"

"Even when you gave me your moonlight and sincerity, I refused. But when you said you really wanted to be with me, really kept me in your heart, I started seriously loving you!"

"It’s because of love that I ran from Imperial City to Si City."

"It’s because of love that, somehow, I have so many insecurities... I don’t want to cause you any criticism because of me."

She only became friends with Lizi, and at every banquet, people wondered why Ye Family’s young lady would want to associate with an illegitimate daughter.

Because of her, Lizi got talked about a lot.

But Lizi didn’t care.

Lizi said her heart was small, couldn’t hold that many people.

As long as those she cared about cared for her, it was enough. Others could think or say whatever they wanted.

And at this moment, even though nothing had happened yet, Qin Chu inexplicably felt a sense of déjà vu.

"Why are you so silly?"

With a long sigh, Lue Xizhou held her in his arms, "Whether they laugh at you or me, it only means one thing."

"...Your man made the wrong friends!"

"And that’s got nothing to do with you! It’s my problem to solve, you understand?"

Kissed her on the face.

Ruffled her hair.

Lue Xizhou held Qin Chu as they entered the bar.

The loud, thumping bass echoed in her ears, making Qin Chu subconsciously hide behind Lue Xizhou.

Led skillfully to the private room at the end of the second floor by Lue Xizhou.

The presidential suite-like private room was full of banter between men and women.

Sharp ears caught the words "Mr. Lue", and Lue Xizhou paused, leaning with Qin Chu against the wall.

The voice was a woman’s.

"Right, right? If I didn’t catch him in the act, would you believe the guy in the photo is Mr. Lue? I’ve lived for 25 years and when wasn’t he surrounded by women? Have you ever seen him so humble, trying to please a lady? When you see it later, join me in laughing at him to death!"

"Come on? My brother finally gets to experience the joy of love, what if you laugh and scare the girl away? When that jerk gets mad, don’t blame me for not warning you!"

"Though I haven’t seen her face, her figure and aura are definitely that cold first love kind, oh, I love it, love it..."

"Come on, how long has it been? You don’t have to hold on to the pure love act this long, right? Hurry, someone go call them over so we can be the lightbulb!"

A lively group, just listening to them sounds fun!

As he turned back with a confident look at Qin Chu, Lue Xizhou tugged on her to walk forward, "Here we come, here we come..."

Stepping out into the corridor, the room brightened up.

Seeing the scene ahead, Qin Chu couldn’t help but blink.

In the luxurious 200-square-meter living room, alcohol and fruit platters were neatly arranged.

1234567, four men and three women, blowing balloons and hanging banners, each busy in their own way.

The not-yet-hung banners, with rows of colorful, varied welcome words, were especially noticeable!

[Thank you, sister-in-law, for taming this monster!]

[Welcome, sister-in-law, to experience the hardships of human life!]

Biting her lip to keep from laughing out loud, Qin Chu looked at Lue Xizhou, about to say "Aren’t you going to introduce me?" when the men and women approached together.

"Sister-in-law, I’m Chi Jingchuan, and this is my girlfriend Wen Ruan."

"Hello Mr. Chi and Ruan Ruan!"

"Hello Qin Chuchu, I..."

"Chen Guangyu, cut the crap, are you calling her Qin Chuchu? ...Baby, this is Chen Guangyu, and his girl Xiao Wei, you can call her Xiao Qiang Wei!"

"Hello Mr. Chen and Qiang Wei!"

"Sister-in-law, I’m Xiao Xie, the perpetually single dog Xiao Xie... These two are my dear sisters, the kind that are your real sisters, so don’t get the wrong idea!"

"Hello Xiao Xie! Hello beautiful sisters! ...Hello everyone, I’m Qin Chu!"

Just one greeting lowered the heart she’d been holding before entering.

In just a few words, Qin Chu seemed to understand the temperament and personality of each person in front of her.

Finally realizing where Lue Xizhou’s confident "if anyone laughs at you, it means your man made the wrong friends" came from.

What to do, she seems to like Si City even more!

The men chatted over drinks.

The women gathered to gossip about Qin Chu and Lue Xizhou’s sudden romantic history, occasionally teasing Xiao Qiang Wei and Chen Guangyu.

With two beautiful sisters of Xiao Xie jokingly self-deprecating about their unreliable brother.

The time passed leisurely and freely, all previous anxiety completely vanished.

Fruit juice couldn’t soothe her happy mood.

Reaching for a bottle of champagne, Qin Chu just touched it as Lue Xizhou’s lazy gaze swept over, "Baby, no drinking! I’ll take you to a good place later!"

???

"Brother, we’re adults now, is there anything we can’t know about?"

"Exactly, considering our relationship, you can just tell us!"

The playful banter made Qin Chu’s face turn red.

In contrast, Lue Xizhou had an air of "you mere mortals aren’t worthy of knowing".

The group only ended the revelry at midnight, having already arranged who would host Qin Chu’s welcome party tomorrow and who would see her off the day after.

With arms around each other, they left the bar, luxury cars roaring away in different directions.

In front was the dreamy nightscape of Si City.

In her ear was the roaring sound of the Ferrari’s engine.

Qin Chu’s heart raced, "Where... where are we going?"
