Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 564 - Chapter 564 Chapter 564 Li Hanzhou I Like You

Chapter 564: Chapter 564: Li Hanzhou: I Like You Chapter 564: Chapter 564: Li Hanzhou: I Like You After Li Hanzhou left, Qiao Yun called Qiao Se to express her needs directly.

“I need Grandpa’s help.”

“What do you need Grandpa to help with? Just say it.”

“Have a physical examination for Li Hanzhou tomorrow.”

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and the voice asked gravely, “Is there a problem?”

“I don’t know.” Qiao Yun indeed wasn’t sure about Li Hanzhou’s current physical condition, which is why she kept thinking about giving him a brain scan.

However, in Shangjing City, the conditions are limited, and it’s not possible to do a brain scan, but it is still possible to do a checkup to investigate the situation.

Wanting a brain scan would still require going back to the Tianqi Research Institute, but she couldn’t find an excuse.

“Then Grandpa will do the examination for him personally tomorrow,” Qiao Se agreed, as he was the only one capable of doing it.

Just then, Qiao Xun came back.

“Dad, haven’t you rested yet?”

“Soon. What have you been busy with recently? It feels like it’s been a long time since I last saw you.”

Qiao Se looked at the dark circles under his son’s eyes with a bit of distress.

Qiao Xun paused for a moment, and then smiled, “I am researching a new drug and have encountered some bottlenecks.”

“I see. Take care of your health.”

Qiao Se would not interfere too much with Qiao Xun’s affairs. Now that he was getting on in years, he had handed over all the affairs of the research institute to Qiao Xun.

He was very satisfied with his son’s abilities.

“By the way, I’ll go to the research institute with you tomorrow,” Qiao Se said, and upon seeing the puzzled look on Qiao Xun’s face, he explained, “Xiaoqiao asked for my help with a health check-up.”

“Qiaoqiao is feeling unwell?” Qiao Xun furrowed his brow, the concern in his eyes was genuine.

“Not her, it’s for Li Hanzhou’s check-up.” Qiao Se didn’t keep this matter from him; even if he didn’t say it, Qiao Xun would find out when the person arrived tomorrow.

Qiao Xun was even more puzzled, “For Li Hanzhou? What’s wrong with him?”

“It seems he is feeling a bit unwell,” said Qiao Se, half truthfully and half falsely.

“Just for a physical examination. I can do that; there’s no need to trouble you, Dad.”

“It’s fine, I’m just idle anyway.”

Qiao Xun looked at his father’s expression, paused for a moment, and then nodded slightly, “Alright then, if you need any help, just call me, Dad.”

“I am old, but it doesn’t mean my professional skills are inadequate. Alright, go rest.”

Qiao Se shooed Qiao Xun to sleep, “All you do is research; aren’t you afraid of going bald? Staying up late can cause baldness, don’t end up unable to find a girlfriend.”

“I’m going to my room.”

Qiao Xun pretended not to hear his father’s complaints, stepping onto the stairwell. As he turned around, a thoughtful glint flashed through his gentle eyes.

…

The next day.

Qiao Yun told her family that she was going to Qiaose Research Institute.

Su Mian disagreed, “Qiaoqiao, you had a fever just yesterday. You should rest well today, and we can talk about anything else after you’ve fully recovered.”

Qiao Yun obediently told them, “I’m already better.”

Then she received the skeptical looks from the entire family.

Qiao Yun: “…”

“It’s just a checkup.”

Upon hearing this, Su Mian immediately agreed, “So it’s just for a physical checkup. Then, should Mom accompany you?”

But then she thought about the fact that the Qiaose Research Institute was the Qiao Family’s enterprise, and it might not be appropriate for her to go there abruptly.

Speaking of which, they hadn’t formally met with the Qiao family yet.

“No need.”

If Su Mian came along, it wouldn’t be easy for Qiao Yun to handle things.

“Then I’ll go,” Lu Zhanxing proposed.

Qiao Yun refused again, “No need, you have work to do.”

Lu Zhanxing seemed to have more to say, but seeing Qiao Yun’s firm stance, and to reassure them, he added, “Li Hanzhou will go with me.”

“You should have said so earlier, now mom feels relieved,” Su Mian gave her approval for him to go.

The corner of Lu Zhanxing’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch, thinking, Mom, could you be any quicker in changing your attitude! Why do you feel reassured when Li Hanzhou is going? His going is the most worrying of all.

Lu Zhanxing felt like he was going to vomit blood.

As Lu Zhanxing saw Qiao Yun off, he repeatedly cautioned her, “Come back right after you’ve had your check-up, don’t run off with someone else.”

“I wouldn’t run off,” Qiao Yun responded, swaddled tightly again, her voice muffled.

Lu Zhanxing found her adorable and couldn’t resist patting her head. As he lifted his gaze, he saw Li Hanzhou’s car approaching from afar.

Li Hanzhou didn’t get out of the car but simply lowered the window and said in a laid-back tone, “Kid, get in.”

“Yeah.” Qiao Yun got into the car.

Lu Zhanxing said to Li Hanzhou with a beaming smile, “Boss Li, I’m leaving my sister in your care, make sure to go there and come back early.”

Li Hanzhou naturally picked up on the undertone in Lu Zhanxing’s words. His eyebrows raised slightly as he said, “If the kid doesn’t want to come back early, there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Watching the car drive away, Lu Zhanxing chuckled…

In the car, Li Hanzhou rested his chin in his hand, his deep eyes unabashedly staring at Qiao Yun for a while before he said in a deep voice, “You seem happy?”

At his words, Qiao Yun’s expression froze for a moment, then, as if puzzled, she slightly tilted her head, “Do I?”

“Yes.” Li Hanzhou, looking into her clear eyes, told her, “When you’re happy, your eyes shine a little brighter and look a bit larger than usual.”

Qiao Yun touched her eyes, not having noticed that before. She complimented him, “You have a good eye.”

Li Hanzhou watched her with a smirk that was not quite a smile, “Only for you.”

Qiao Yun, caught off guard by his gaze, felt as though those eyes were brimming with intense emotion, and she instinctively averted her glance, uttering a small “Oh.”

As if he hadn’t seen Qiao Yun’s gesture, Li Hanzhou casually asked, “Why are you happy?”

“I don’t know if I would call it happy,” Qiao Yun chose her words carefully, “I’m ill, and they care about me. I’ve never had anyone care about me like that before; grandpa did, but it was different.”

Grandpa wouldn’t be as inseparable as them, his heart and eyes full of her.

Li Hanzhou felt a twinge of pity upon hearing this. The stronger the person, the lonelier they are, and this was vividly demonstrated in the kid.

He could finally understand why the kid’s grandpa had let her return to the Lu Family.

Because he didn’t want Qiao Yun to continue being lonely.

Li Hanzhou’s voice was soft and slightly hoarse as he said, “I will care about you too, Miaomiao will as well, and in the future, more and more people will care about you.”

Qiao Yun blinked, her mood suddenly brightening further, “You’re really nice.”

Li Hanzhou’s lips curved in a slight smirk, his voice tender and gentle as he said, “Because I like you, I’m nice to you.”

Qiao Yun: “Ah?”

She looked at Li Hanzhou, who’d spoken with such an indifferent attitude, and for once, she was somewhat stunned. But clearly, her mind wasn’t ready to comprehend the significance of the word ‘like’.

So, she hesitated before saying, “I quite like you too.”

“My liking for you is different from yours.”

Li Hanzhou felt a pang of impulse, regretting that he had confessed his liking at a time when Qiao Yun was already feeling joyful about being cared for by her family due to her illness.

“What is it then?”
