He found Qiao Yun quieter than he had expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wondered if it was due to the environment in which she had grown up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun faintly lifted her eyelids and replied to him, “Not tired.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then are you hungry?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhanxing took out a cake that had been prepared early from the small fridge. He was not sure what Qiao Yun liked, but he thought it couldn’t be wrong to buy sweets for a young girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s still a two-hour drive, you should eat something first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His attitude was natural, lacking any unfamiliarity of a first meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun’s cool gaze fell on the small cake. After thinking, she still accepted it and said softly, “Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She discovered that Lu Zhanxing was very adept at managing the distance between people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not overly enthusiastic, nor making you feel alienated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way of interaction was most comfortable for Qiao Yun.

You can go ahead, I can be on my own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She truly was an understanding little sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No worries, I have the whole day for you today,” he replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhanxing slightly furrowed his brows and without even glancing, he hung up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun realized he wasn’t telling the truth, but it was something that didn’t concern her, so she didn’t ask further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun’s sudden silence made Lu Zhanxing touch his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much for upholding a strong and respectable brother image; his true nature had shown through so quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He definitely didn’t want to scare his sister away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Qiao Yun watched as Lu Zhanxing suddenly sat up straight, put on a serious face as though he was angry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was really baffling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed her elder brother was somewhat capricious?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two hours later, they finally arrived at the place where they were staying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The apartment was rented by Lu Zhanxing in Hai City, right in the city center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Ying did not hurry to leave as he still had business to discuss with Lu Zhanxing, so he went up with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they entered the room, before Lu Zhanxing had a chance to introduce the layout to Qiao Yun, he was interrupted by a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression suddenly turned extremely ugly. He took a deep breath and, forcing a smile, said to Qiao Yun, “Sister, have a look around by yourself for a bit, I need to make a call.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun gave him a thoughtful glance before nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>",713,"2026-06-09T06:21:36.109Z",1,"novelbin.me","f4d60d101b21bc5e2d644fb53593f061c93b0a2fd1890ef2d57f82e2f9f2a275","hidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-chapter-225","hidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-chapter-224",1090,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-cover.jpg"]
