Chapter 509: Chapter 509 Somewhat ashamed of her own impulse

In the end, it was Bai Shengli who said, "Yichen, you were a bit impulsive today. Deputy Director Cai is someone who fears his wife, and Cai Yajing has been pampered all her life. It’s likely she’ll whisper in his ear, so you should be careful during this period."

Lu Yichen had been both tired and missing the little girl these past few days. Now, he hardly had the mood to deal with her. It would be best if she and her father didn’t do anything excessive, or he wouldn’t mind sending them from heaven to hell.

He opened the drawer and took out a report to summarize, wondering when that girl would finally come back. Previously, she had called to say she wouldn’t be able to return when school started, and he truly wanted to go fetch her himself.

Luo Qiao had lunch with her grandfather, grandmother, and Second Brother at the school cafeteria, experiencing a taste of college life from the 80s. After wandering around the campus for a bit, she prepared to go home.

Second Brother Luo Xuyuan was going to reside on campus, only returning home for the weekends. Just now, they had helped set up his bed, and only two roommates had arrived in the dormitory so far, but they seemed to get along well.

Instead of heading straight home, Luo Qiao took her grandparents off the bus midway to the park where she changed the film in her camera and took many photos with her grandparents in the park.

She also took her grandparents to a department store not far from the bus stop and bought them two pairs of well-fitting leather shoes. The shoes on her grandparents’ feet had been worn for many years; the heels had been repaired several times, and the leather was peeling in some places.

Luo Qiao had wanted to buy them new shoes before, but unlike clothes, shoes that are too big or too small won’t fit. Now that the department store was right beside the bus stop, Luo Qiao took them to the shoe counter despite their objections.

After trying on shoes they both liked and finding them a bit too expensive, Luo Qiao insisted on purchasing them, saying, "When your sons make a name for themselves, it’s inevitable that you’ll need to attend certain functions, so it’s essential to dress well."

After heeding their granddaughter’s words, the elderly couple felt she made sense—as their children succeed, it could indeed happen—so they didn’t refuse any further.

In the evening, Uncle Sun came over to call Luo Qiao to the phone. Wondering who could be calling, she had just reached Uncle Sun’s doorway when the phone rang, "Hello, this is Luo Qiao, may I ask who’s speaking?"

"Qiaoqiao, it’s me, Lu Yichen."

"Brother Lu, why are you calling at this time? Is there something wrong?"

"Qiaoqiao, I miss you. When will you come back?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qiao sensed something was off; this man must have been drinking.

"Brother Lu, have you been drinking?"

"You can tell, huh? Yes, I had a little."

"Did something happen?"

"No, it’s just that I never see you, and I miss you a lot."

A pang of heartache hit Luo Qiao as she said, "I’ll come back tomorrow, but I can only stay for a few days before I have to go back to the Capital for some matters."

"Really, you’re coming back tomorrow?"

"Mhmm, I’ll come back tomorrow."

"I promised Teacher Ge I would send my Second Brother to school and then return to campus."

"Then I’ll pick you up at the station tomorrow. Which train are you taking?"

"The one at eleven o’clock; it’s perfect since you won’t need to take time off."

"Okay, I’ll pick you up tomorrow; I’ve been nearly going mad missing you."

"How much have you drunk? Alright, hang up now and head home."

"Okay, I’ll go home. Qiaoqiao, can you promise me one thing?"

"What is it? Tell me first."

"When you come back, can you swing by our office and let them know I have a partner? They really annoy me, and I’m almost not wanting to stay here anymore. You’re not here every day, but what would happen to the vegetables and chickens in the backyard if I left?"

He finished with a hiccup from the alcohol, which Luo Qiao heard crystal clear over the phone.

Now, Luo Qiao didn’t know whether to find this man adorable or sly. His words made her both amused and annoyed, convincing her that he must be doing this on purpose.

"Lu Yichen, how much have you really drunk? If you really drank too much and someone took advantage of you, I definitely wouldn’t want you anymore. Did you hear me clearly?"

Lu Yichen shuddered, sobering up halfway, with his thoughts clearing up a bit more than before, as if remembering what he had just said and feeling embarrassed about his own impulsiveness.
