Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 786 - Chapter 786 Chapter 786 Destroying Ones Worldview

Chapter 786: Chapter 786: Destroying One’s Worldview Chapter 786: Chapter 786: Destroying One’s Worldview Qiao Yun had such thoughts, so she directly told them, “I trust you.”

Shen Qi was firstly stunned and then felt as if he was floating. What did he just hear?

Professor Qiao actually said she trusted him!

He was trusted by Professor Qiao!

What kind of divine treatment was this?

Shen Qi couldn’t control his face and let out a silly smile, making Xu Fang unable to resist covering his eyes, “Tone down the smile on your face, you look like an idiot. If people see this, the reputation of the young master of the Shen Family will be gone.”

“If it’s gone, then so be it,” Shen Qi said nonchalantly, then turned to Qiao Yun with a serious face, “Professor Qiao, don’t worry, I will definitely keep this matter to myself and won’t tell anyone, Xu Fang, you know this as well.”

“Of course I know.” Xu Fang was much steadier than Shen Qi and naturally understood that if the success of the AI driving system research at Tianqi Research Institute were to be exposed, it would cause great trouble for Professor Qiao.

The Huo Family would be hit first.

On the surface, the Huo Family was a legitimate business, but those in the know were aware that the Huo Family was not as proper as they appeared.

More than a decade ago, a civil strife within the Huo Family resulted in many deaths; the current head of the Huo Family rose to power through that internal conflict, and it took some wiles to grow the Huo Family to such an extent.

Now, K port can be said to be monopolised by the Huo Family.

However, due to the distance, there were no conflicts of interest, allowing them to coexist peacefully.

Seeing their serious demeanor, Qiao Yun said lightly, “It’s just an AI driving system; no need to be nervous.”

If an AI driving system already shocked them this much, telling them about the hovercars parked on the foundation of Tianqi Research would probably destroy their worldview, so she decided generously not to tell them this secret.

“Being cautious is also not wrong.” Li Hanzhou raised his finger, brushed the stray hair from Qiao Yun’s forehead to her ear, and looked deep into her eyes, “There are some things, even I should not mention.”

Qiao Yun responded slowly, “This isn’t good, we are lovers and should have no secrets.”

Professor Qiao was indeed a person who adhered strictly to the rules of romance.

Li Hanzhou’s deep eyes were filled with amusement, and his voice was low and slightly hoarse, “You must be obedient.”

Shen Qi was getting goosebumps all over from Li Hanzhou’s tenderness.

Truthfully, having known Li Hanzhou for so long, it was the first time he had seen him care so much about a person.

But Professor Qiao would listen to him.

Hmph.

Shen Qi believed that even Li Hanzhou couldn’t make the independent-minded Professor Qiao break her rules.

So, he looked at Qiao Yun with the eyes of someone watching a drama, eager to hear how she would teach Li Hanzhou not to overstep.

Qiao Yun, however, had no particular reaction; she simply nodded slowly, “Oh.”

“…”

Shen Qi was dumbfounded again: That’s it? Just an “oh”?

He thought expressionlessly, please put this single dog out of his misery for entertainment’s sake.

“Qiaoqiao.” At that moment, Li Miao came over, grabbed Qiao Yun’s arm, and whined, “Why did you come here, making me look for you for a while.”

Then he noticed Li Hanzhou as if seeing him for the first time and reluctantly said, “Bro, you’re here.”

Li Hanzhou raised an eyebrow, “What, shouldn’t I be here?”

“I didn’t say that,” Li Miao pouted, and said cheerfully to Qiao Yun, “Qiaoqiao, let’s go over there and play, hanging out with them is no fun.”

“I’ll play with Miaomiao for a while.” Qiao Yun lifted her head, her beautiful eyes shimmering with light, exceptionally attractive.

Li Hanzhou’s eyes deepened, “I’ll wait here for you.”

“Okay.”

As soon as Qiao Yun finished speaking, Li Miao couldn’t wait to pull her away from the Great Demon King.

Lately, Li Hanzhou had been monopolizing Qiaoqiao, and she barely had any chance to play with Qiaoqiao. Li Miao felt extremely unbalanced in her heart.

Shen Qi looked at Qiao Yun’s retreating figure and sighed, “Brother Li, Professor Qiao really spoils you a lot.”

Li Hanzhou took that as a compliment, his lips slightly curving up in pleasure. However, remembering the question Shen Qi had just asked Qiao Yun, he lazily said, “You’re not getting any younger. It’s time to get married.”

“Huh?” Shen Qi was shocked.

Li Hanzhou laughed, “I’ll have a good talk with your parents.”

Shen Qi, who had been constantly running away recently due to his family urging him to marry, was speechless.

Li Ye was clearly pushing him into a pit of fire!

What had he done that was so outrageous?

“What did I do?” Shen Qi asked Xu Fang, bewildered.

“Sigh…” Xu Fang patted his shoulder sympathetically, half-jokingly said, “Maybe it’s because you want to steal his wife.”

Shen Qi felt utterly wronged. When had he ever thought about stealing Professor Qiao? He clearly wanted to compete for Professor Qiao’s teacher.

Meanwhile, Li Miao decided to take the initiative and reserve Qiaoqiao for herself, so she asked, “Qiaoqiao, do you have any plans for the summer vacation?”

Qiao Yun made a sound, her voice lazy, “I do.”

“Ah?” Li Miao was greatly disappointed, and pouting, she asked, “What plans?”

Qiao Yun told Li Miao, “I want to go visit Yuncheng.”

Li Miao naturally knew Yuncheng was the place where Qiao Yun had lived before being found by the Lu Family. The thought alone deeply saddened her; her little friend could have had a happy, carefree life, not worrying about food and shelter, yet because she was lost, she lived so miserably in a village.

They say necessity makes an early manager; no wonder Qiaoqiao had been so gentle and sensible from the start.

Seeing Li Miao’s expression alternating between worry and distress, having no idea that Li Miao was imagining her as a pitiful little cabbage from the countryside, Qiao Yun thought Li Miao might be feeling unwell and asked, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” Li Miao held Qiao Yun’s hand, “Qiaoqiao, you’ve had it tough.”

Qiao Yun: ???

Qiao Yun didn’t understand, “What happened?”

Li Miao comforted her, “It’s nothing, I understand. Let’s not talk about the sad things from the past. After all, you’re back now, and life will only get better, not as hard as before.”

Qiao Yun really didn’t understand why Li Miao was giving her that sympathetic look.

Had her previous life been that hard?

Qiao Yun thought about it; she actually quite enjoyed doing research and didn’t find it hard at all.

Li Miao, however, was very curious about the place where Qiao Yun had previously lived, and asked, “Can I go with you?”

“Sure.” Qiao Yun agreed to Li Miao’s request. They were good friends, and she was quite willing to take Li Miao back to the research base for a visit.

Li Miao silently prepared herself mentally; no matter how poor or dilapidated Qiaoqiao’s former village was, she must not show any disdain that might upset Qiaoqiao.

The two of them picked up some food and found a place to eat and chat.

Lu Shiran searched for a while before finding them in a corner, “Sister, why are you hiding here?”

As the second-place winner in science this time, Lu Shiran had attracted quite a bit of attention at the banquet, with many parents eagerly trying to match their daughters with him.

Frightened, Lu Shiran found an excuse and slipped away.
