Chapter 124: Zhou Xian Gave Her Roses

Boss Lu, here.

The butler ahead brought Lu Jingqing into the Zhou family's residence.

Lu Jingqing was visiting the Zhou family for the first time, and the butler said, "Please wait a moment, Boss Lu, I'll have someone bring Miss Su over."

Lu Jingqing nodded and said nothing.

The butler quickly had someone go look for Su Yun Jiao.

But the servants searched everywhere and couldn't find Su Yun Jiao anywhere.

Finally the butler said, "Miss Su might be strolling in the courtyard at this time; I'll go get her myself."

"No need, I'll go myself."

Lu Jingqing rose from the sofa; Su Yun Jiao is not one who loves to play.

He had Su Yun Jiao come to the Zhou family to study this time, but he didn't intend for her to wander around someone else's house at will.

Just as he reached the courtyard, Lu Jingqing heard Su Yun Jiao's voice.

"What is this rose called?"

"This rose is called the Bulgarian rose. Do you like it?"

"It's very pretty."

"I'll pick one and give it to you."

"Thank you."

Su Yun Jiao and Zhou Xian were chatting in the greenhouse.

Seeing this, the butler couldn't help but cough.

No matter how you say it, Lu Jingqing is also Su Yun Jiao's fiancé; the Zhou family's young master is simply too rude.

"Su Yun Jiao."

Lu Jingqing's voice suddenly rang out.

Su Yun Jiao in the greenhouse thought she had misheard, but after coming to her senses she realized the speaker was really Lu Jingqing.

Zhou Xian opened the greenhouse door, and upon seeing Lu Jingqing at the entrance, Su Yun Jiao quickly ran over to him: "Brother Jingqing, how did you come over?"

Su Yun Jiao still thought Lu Jingqing should be handling official duties at home at this time, with no time to come see her.

"I came to see if you've forgotten what time to go home."

Lu Jingqing's simple sentence left Su Yun Jiao speechless.

Lu Jingqing has always strictly required her to be home by a certain time.

Generally, she must not be later than ten o'clock.

In Lu Jingqing's view, it's dangerous for a girl to return home after ten at night.

Especially a girl like Su Yun Jiao.

"It's just that the tutoring ran late; we failed to greet Boss Lu in advance, sorry."

Although Zhou Xian is young, his manners are impeccable.

Lu Jingqing merely nodded, then told Su Yun Jiao, "Gather your belongings and go home."

"Okay."

Su Yun Jiao was already carrying her backpack; she had merely been looking at roses with Zhou Xian.

The butler saw Su Yun Jiao and Lu Jingqing out of the Zhou family's gate.

Secretary Li got out of the car and opened the door for Su Yun Jiao.

Su Yun Jiao felt that Lu Jingqing didn't seem particularly happy today.

She couldn't help asking, "Is something at the company not going well?"

Lu Jingqing ignored Su Yun Jiao.

Secretary Li then said ahead, "Boss Lu is worried that Miss Su might be in danger, so he specially set aside work to come find you."

"Is that so."

Su Yun Jiao was slightly surprised; she hadn't expected Lu Jingqing to care so much about her safety.

Su Yun Jiao said, "But I already told you before leaving that I was going to tutoring; studying for four or five hours is quite normal, isn't it?"

I don't know what Lu Jingqing is worried about; with the Zhou family's security like this, could anything still happen?

Lu Jingqing said lightly, "It's not that I'm worried about you; I'm afraid you'll lose face. You're now my fiancée no matter what you say, and going to someone else's house to sit in on lessons for so long is inappropriate."

Su Yun Jiao was left speechless by Lu Jingqing's words.

Lu Jingqing asked, "Did the tutoring go smoothly today?"

"Very smoothly; I didn't know before that the Zhou family's tutoring is one-on-one, and it's especially efficient—one lesson taught me a lot, more useful than seven days of school."

Seeing that Su Yun Jiao seemed to like this one-on-one tutoring,

Lu Jingqing said, "If that's the case, starting tomorrow I'll find you a new tutor, and you'll have one-on-one tutoring in Jingyuan until the winter break ends."

Hearing this, Su Yun Jiao froze: "Brother Jingqing… you're getting me a tutor?"

"Any objections?"

"No need, I guess…"

Su Yun Jiao laughed embarrassedly and said, "Studying together with Zhou Tingting and the class monitor three of us is fine; there's no need to hire a separate tutor."

Su Yun Jiao didn't know what had gotten into Lu Jingqing, that he would suddenly think of finding her a tutor.

If the tutor were found in Jingyuan, wouldn't she have to be supervised by Lu Jingqing during class?

Just thinking about that feeling makes Su Yun Jiao feel she couldn't stand it.

She would rather study happily with Zhou Tingting and Zhou Xian than be stared down by Lu Jingqing like that.

During class, even a glance from Lu Jingqing could frighten her to the point of her thoughts going haywire.

Then I'll personally teach you.

Hearing Lu Jingqing say he would personally teach Su Yun Jiao, Secretary Li braked suddenly and almost hit his head.

Boss Lu, stop joking, you've probably forgotten all your high school knowledge, Miss Su is about to take the College Entrance Exam, don't mislead her here.

Before he could finish his sentence, Secretary Li saw in the rearview mirror Lu Jingqing's gaze sweeping toward him.

After seeing Lu Jingqing's gaze, Secretary Li immediately shut his mouth, pretending he hadn't said anything.

Lu Jingqing said lightly: "It's just that bit of high school knowledge; it's not difficult for me."

"Really?"

Su Yun Jiao looked at Lu Jingqing before her with a doubtful expression.

Not difficult?

Impossible, right?

After being reborn once, Su Yun Jiao had already forgotten all her high school knowledge completely.

She didn't believe Lu Jingqing's mind was that sharp, able to remember all the high school exam points so clearly.

Su Yun Jiao directly took out a practice sheet from her bag, placed it in front of Lu Jingqing, and asked: "Brother Jingqing, can you do all of these?"

This practice sheet was compiled by the tutoring teacher just now based on her weaknesses.

Su Yun Jiao specifically took out the math.

She hadn't taken out the English yet.

In the car, Lu Jingqing merely opened the practice sheet, glanced at it with his peripheral vision, then immediately closed it: "The lighting is too dark; let's do it tomorrow."

Su Yun Jiao reasonably doubted that Lu Jingqing couldn't do it at all.

Su Yun Jiao couldn't help but say: "Brother Jingqing, if you can't do it, just say you can't; there's no shame in that."

The Secretary Li driving up front couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After receiving Lu Jingqing's gaze warning, Secretary Li immediately shut his mouth, pretending he hadn't done anything.

Lu Jingqing glanced at the rose in Su Yun Jiao's hand; because Zhou Xian was afraid the rose's thorns would hurt Su Yun Jiao's hand, he had specially wrapped that rose in colored paper.

Lu Jingqing asked: "Do you like it that much? You've been holding it in your hand all along?"

"This flower is so precious and beautiful; I plan to take it home and nurture it."
