Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 631 - Chapter 631 Chapter 631 Watch Your Mouth

Chapter 631: Chapter 631: Watch Your Mouth! Chapter 631: Chapter 631: Watch Your Mouth! If this had happened before, according to Qiao Yun’s personality, she wouldn’t have exchanged another word with Qin Xuan.

His unilateral announcement indicated Qiao Yun was angry.

The happier Li Hanzhou thought about it, the less he could wait for Qiao Yun’s response, and he started explaining on his own, “The arranged marriage is fake, it was my grandfather taking matters into his own hands to arrange the blind date, I didn’t know about it.”

Qiao Yun was silent for a moment, then uttered an “Oh,” her gaze slowly drifting elsewhere, deliberately avoiding Li Hanzhou’s smug face.

For some reason, his happiness seemed to irk her a little.

But she had to admit, she liked hearing what he just said.

Seeing her reaction, the smile on Li Hanzhou’s lips grew deeper, “I won’t enter into an arranged marriage with her, I’ve already told you who I like.”

Qiao Yun could feel Li Hanzhou’s burning gaze, she didn’t look at him, but her ears turned a bit red.

Li Hanzhou’s eyes fell on Qiao Yun’s slightly reddened earlobe and suddenly asked, “It was you who dragged me out of the sea back then, wasn’t it?”

Finally, a crack appeared in Qiao Yun’s indifferent facade, and she asked with a bit of surprise, “You remembered?”

“Very vaguely.”

“There’s nothing wrong with your memory?” Ever since Pei Ya took it upon himself to reveal everything to Li Hanzhou, Qiao Yun had stopped hiding things from him.

Knowing he had begun to remember, she couldn’t help but feel anxious about the moment when all of Li Hanzhou’s memories flooded back, he might forget her.

She was very clear, she didn’t want Li Hanzhou to forget her.

“Don’t worry, I won’t forget you.”

Four months had passed since the explosion, and it seemed that due to its effects, the memories he had lost were slowly coming back to him.

But it was like there was a veil over these memories; some things he could see very clearly, others he couldn’t see no matter how hard he tried.

The one relief was that his current memory wasn’t affected.

Having her thoughts exposed, Qiao Yun felt a bit embarrassed and could only respond with a faint “Oh.”

Li Hanzhou saw her reaction and inexplicably felt his mouth go dry. He tilted his head and took a sip of wine, seemingly trying to muster courage, then asked emphatically, “Qiaoqiao, when will you finally consider dating me?”

Qiao Yun was caught off guard for a moment, staring blankly at Li Hanzhou.

Then, under his watchful gaze.

She ran away…

Li Hanzhou was startled for a second, watching Qiao Yun’s retreating figure, was there a hint of escaping in haste?

He looked down, barely managing to suppress the laughter that was threatening to bubble up from his throat.

Qiao Yun was thin-skinned, and if she realized he was laughing, she might end up ignoring him.

…

Qiao Yun’s gaze wandered until she saw her parents and walked towards them.

Suddenly, her back was bumped.

Qiao Yun staggered, steadied herself, and instinctively turned around.

“I’m sorry, are you alright?” The woman who bumped into her apologized with a panicked expression.

“It’s okay, I’m fine.” Qiao Yun nodded to the woman, gave her a deep look, then turned and continued towards the Lu Family.

Liu Yuxi felt her palms sweating with nerves, it was her first time doing something like this, and her heart was pounding erratically.

She hadn’t been noticed, had she?

After reaching the Lu Family, the thought of Li Hanzhou brought a wave of irritation to Qiao Yun.

She touched her face, which felt rather hot.

She hadn’t deliberately avoided answering his question, but after seeing Qin Xuan today, she finally understood why she had been annoyed with Li Hanzhou over the past few days.

She didn’t want Li Hanzhou to enter into an arranged marriage with Qin Xuan, she didn’t want Li Hanzhou to marry her.

Is this what liking someone feels like?

Qiao Yun couldn’t make sense of these emotions, so she hadn’t responded to him. It would have been irresponsible to answer so hastily.

And there were memory issues.

If Li Hanzhou was destined to forget these things… how should she deal with him by then?

Qiao Yun pursed her lips, her mind in disarray.

Grandfather was right, one shouldn’t date before the age of 25.

“Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Why is your face a bit red?” Su Mian saw Qiao Yun’s flushed cheeks and thought she might have caught a cold.

Lu Rui, who was initially chatting with a business partner, hurried over when he heard his beloved daughter was ill, “Why did you get sick all of a sudden, Qiaoqiao, how do you feel now?”

Lu Jingzhi just happened to come back, glanced at Qiao Yun’s face, and frowned, “Otherwise, I’ll take my sister back first to see a doctor?”

“That’s fine.” Su Mian instructed Lu Jingzhi, “You go ahead and take Qiaoqiao to the doctor, we’ll come later.”

At this kind of event, it wasn’t appropriate for them to leave directly, as it would be disrespectful to the hosts.

Lu Jingzhi nodded, “Okay.”

Qiao Yun whispered in explanation, “It’s nothing, I don’t need to see a doctor.”

“Really, no problem?” Su Mian was still worried.

“Are you tired? Let’s go back first, it’ll be fine with mom and dad here.” Lu Jingzhi felt that Qiao Yun probably didn’t like these types of occasions.

In the past, he wouldn’t have left so directly.

Now, nothing in the world was more important than his sister.

Qiao Yun indeed had no interest in such occasions, so she did not reject the proposal, “Okay.”

To prevent a certain someone from taking further liberties, she decided to leave first.

Lu Jingzhi escorted Qiao Yun towards the main entrance.

Before they could exit, a stunning figure suddenly blocked their way, “Don’t go, you think you can just leave after stealing my stuff?”

The woman’s voice was sharp, attracting the attention of the surrounding wealthy and distinguished guests instantly.

Liu Yuxi hurried over, adding unceremoniously, “You stole my stuff, don’t think you can get away.”

Qiao Yun frowned.

Lu Jingzhi was baffled, what was this woman talking about? Accusing his sister of stealing?

The bystanders were also astonished.

The Lu Family’s young lady stealing?

Lu Jingzhi, struggling to keep his temper in check, said, “You’re mistaken, my sister would never steal your things.”

“How is it impossible.” Liu Yuxi retorted, “Didn’t she grow up in the countryside for over a decade? People like her who haven’t seen much of the world are bound to be unscrupulous.”

Upon hearing this, the crowd looked at Qiao Yun with a hint of scrutiny.

Could it really be that she could not control herself?

Furious, Lu Jingzhi warned in a stern voice, “Watch your mouth! What proof do you have that my sister stole from you?”

Liu Yuxi was taken aback, fear creeping into her heart, but bolstered by Qin Xuan’s words, she summoned her courage, “My ring was always on my finger, and after she bumped into me, it disappeared; so it must be on her.”

She stepped forward and reached out to grab the small handbag Qiao Yun was holding.

Unexpectedly, she was blocked by a hand.

Liu Yuxi looked up to see a man with a cold demeanor, who gave her a cursory glance.

For a moment, she was frozen in place, not daring to make a sound.

Li Hanzhou’s voice carried a hint of danger, “Stealing from you?”

Liu Yuxi stiffened.

Qin Xuan, who had been anticipating a drama unfold, was consumed with jealousy when he saw Li Hanzhou defending Qiao Yun, and to avoid any slip-ups, he had to step in himself.

Feigning ignorance, he asked, “What happened, what’s the issue here?”
