Chapter 117: Representative Qin plans to spend the night here?

~8 min read 1,433 words

After the performance ended, many people came out of the theater. If not for paying special attention, Lu Qiao wouldn't have seen Liang Aishu and Shen Yun in the crowd.

These two had long since been thrown to the back of Lu Qiao's mind.

But Qin Hengzhi noticed.

Such a burning gaze was hard to ignore.

But he wouldn't take it to heart either.

And Lu Qiao, sitting in the car, didn't ask about the Cao Lanzhu that Lu Min mentioned before the performance.

It could be seen that Lu Qiao wasn't pretending to be generous; she really didn't take it to heart.

While Qin Hengzhi was in a pleasant mood, he was still a bit conflicted.

But he was in a dating relationship with Qiao, so he had an obligation to tell Lu Qiao about this matter.

After all, Lu Min had even brought it up to Qiao's face.

Qin Hengzhi was a proud person and wouldn't think too much about whether this person was stupid or smart.

What hovered in his mind was Lu Qiao's attitude.

So, he told Lu Qiao about Lu Min and Cao Lanzhu.

One was a blind date he was preparing to reject politely, and the other was a neighbor's little sister from the compound.

She had liked chasing after Qin Hengzhi since she was a child.

Qin Hengzhi finished talking about Lu Min, then went on to talk about Cao Lanzhu, saying indifferently: "Actually, we aren't familiar, and I didn't expect her to have the courage to interfere in my affairs."

He didn't know who gave her the courage.

Lu Qiao wasn't surprised: "It must have been with the tacit approval of her family."

Even Old Master Qin was happy to see it happen.

Qin Hengzhi's hand tapped the steering wheel, his brows furrowing slightly.

Lu Qiao said to him: "If this topic will cause fluctuations in your emotions, I suggest you shut up now."

Qin Hengzhi looked at Lu Qiao; he couldn't tell her joy or anger, but he sensed she was serious.

So, he slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road, turned to look at Lu Qiao, his voice low and gentle: "I'm actually very calm, but I still want to stop the car and look at you."

Tree shadows fell mottled across Qin Hengzhi's side profile through the car window, making those deep eyes look especially focused.

Lu Qiao smiled, glanced at the darkening sky outside the window, and asked with ambiguous meaning: "Does Representative Qin plan to spend the night here?"

Qin Hengzhi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly. He chuckled, and his whole person seemed to relax. He restarted the car.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, those who understood, understood.

Lu Qiao really didn't care; she trusted Qin Hengzhi.

If he had other thoughts, it's hard to say, but he might already be married by now.

What she wanted to ask was another matter: "I heard your military representative office is going to hold a joint drill. Is that true?"

Qin Hengzhi nodded: "Mm, there is such a plan. Now that a new project has started, certain forces are stirring again. Precautions must be taken in advance."

Lu Qiao remembered those blueprints and said regretfully: "Can't Engineer Gu's illness be cured?"

Qin Hengzhi: "We are working hard on it."

Lu Qiao remembered the old turtle and remembered White Water Pearl, which had actually improved her younger brother's health.

Although it was very fantastical, the fact was just so.

"I think he should be brought to the military factory. This is the place where he struggled and lived; who knows, maybe he would recover."

Qin Hengzhi looked at Lu Qiao, was silent for a moment, then said: "I thought the same, and have already submitted the report."

Lu Qiao:...

Is it such a coincidence?

Is it really that great minds think alike, or did Qin Hengzhi discover something?

Lu Qiao couldn't know and couldn't ask, so she pointed ahead: "We're here."

Qin Hengzhi was even stunned for a moment, not expecting it to be so fast.

After sending her home, Qin Hengzhi drove toward the military representative office.

He had seen more than once through the telescope in the guard tower Lu Qiao's tabby cat squatting on the rock by the shore chatting with a large turtle.

He knew that large turtle.

And the two swallows flying back and forth by the lake were also familiar. If he guessed correctly, they should also be the nest of swallows under the eaves of Qiao's house.

It is said they moved from Qi Shuang's house.

Qin Hengzhi curled the corners of his mouth, his clear and handsome brows full of gentleness. This little comrade Qiao has quite a few secrets.

And at this time, Shen Yun and Liang Aishu were riding their bicycles home together.

Two wheels naturally weren't as fast as four wheels.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the shadow of the jeep was gone.

They finally rode to the main gate of the military factory family compound.

Shen Yun turned to look at Liang Aishu and said: "Write an anonymous letter tomorrow to report Representative Qin for using a public vehicle for private business, carrying his partner around during off-duty hours, seriously affecting the image of the military representative office in the military factory, and seriously damaging the reputation of the military representative office and the 516 Military Factory."

Liang Aishu was startled. Although he felt very uncomfortable, he hadn't thought in that direction, but he knew that the jeep from the military representative office was public property, and using a public vehicle for private business was certainly a violation of discipline.

But he didn't want to offend Qin Hengzhi.

He said to Shen Yun: "Forget it, hurry home and rest. We have to work tomorrow. Qin Hengzhi isn't a fool; he is... very self-disciplined, he wouldn't do anything that violates discipline."

Shen Yun sneered: "Isn't it said that heroes have trouble passing the beauty pass? Maybe Qin Hengzhi is just confused."

Liang Aishu's heart shook, and he looked at Shen Yun with a complex expression.

He felt very uncomfortable inside. Beauty, yes, Lu Qiao is becoming more and more beautiful, her whole person shining.

The Lu Qiao of the past was trash he couldn't wait to throw away immediately, but the Lu Qiao of now is the moon in the sky, unreachable for him.

He started to hate again. If the Lu Qiao he was engaged to was the same as now, he wouldn't have broken off the engagement; perhaps they would have been married long ago.

In this engagement, everyone says he is a heartless man, but doesn't Lu Qiao have any responsibility?

He gritted his teeth and said to Shen Yun: "Don't keep Lu Qiao in your heart; just treat her as a stranger, okay? Such a report might implicate your father. Why don't you ask your father before saying anything." He paused and added: "I'll ask my father tomorrow morning too. Let's study it again when we go to work, okay?"

Shen Yun looked at Liang Aishu, and only then did she smile and say sweetly: "Brother Aishu, I'll listen to you. Let's go."

At this time, Lu Qiao didn't have time to think about Qin Hengzhi, because the tabby cat had been waiting for her. Seeing Lu Qiao finish washing and enter the room to prepare for rest, it stood up from the kang. As it stood up, Lu Qiao was stunned.

Under the dim yellow light, two golden bracelets and several gold rings were placed on her bedsheet.

Lu Qiao hurriedly walked forward, picked up these gold ornaments, and saw that the bedsheet had been stained.

So these were salvaged from the bottom of the lake?

【Little Master, I waited for you all night, almost discovered by Xiaosi. Luckily I was smart and lay still.】

Lu Qiao closed the bedroom door; the family members were basically all asleep.

She knew the time for the performance, and the travel time also took effort. Meng Xia knew she wouldn't be back before ten, but still insisted on waiting.

Seeing her daughter smiling, she went to sleep relieved.

So, the Lu house was quiet at this time, and no one would break in.

But Lu Qiao still closed the door.

She looked at them one by one; they were definitely real gold, the style was very ancient, carved with intertwined flowers, and there was mud and sand in the gaps of the petals. ===== CHAPTER 118 =====
