Chapter 350: Chapter 332: What kind of blind date has no male lead?

Luo Qianqian raised an eyebrow: "Xu Xiaoxiao really has patience, waiting until the holiday to make a move."

Xu Tianyi snorted and, after replying to the text, tucked away his phone, lifting the corners of his mouth: "What would you like to eat?"

"I kinda want some meat." Luo Qianqian blinked: "You don’t think Xu Xiaoxiao is suggesting something like arranging a blind date for you, do you?"

Although startled by Luo Qianqian’s idea, Xu Tianyi quickly suppressed his shocked expression, because Qin Nuan also called Luo Qianqian.

"Hello, Nuannuan? What’s going on?"

"What else could it be, do you know what your little boyfriend’s family is up to?" Qin Nuan’s voice, frustrated and outraged, came through the receiver.

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes at Xu Tianyi behind her, then with a tone full of innocence: "I don’t know. He went home after school ended today."

"Let me tell you, I’m at the Xu Family right now." Qin Nuan’s disdain dripped through her voice: "Xu Su, the second of the Xu family, is introducing his little friends to the third generation of the Xu family, and the praises he’s singing, I’m too embarrassed to listen to them. Thankfully he... wait, he’s not with you?" Her volume spiked so suddenly that Luo Qianqian jerked the phone away from her ear and even dug in her ear.

"Keep going, keep going, what else did he say? Where he is doesn’t matter." Luo Qianqian was not the least bit defensive, calmly speaking.

Xu Tianyi listened clearly to the lies being told by the person in front of him and could only helplessly push her towards Hei Yu, thinking it wasn’t too late to deal with it after she finished her phone call.

"Basically, they want to secure a fiancée early on, so they can get married after college graduation and so on, and the Xu Family will provide some help in various aspects," Qin Nuan curled her lip, her voice oozing disdain and disgust undisguised: "If it weren’t for the sake of my brother’s feelings, I would have left long ago. Don’t worry, once I get home, I’ll surely push my brother to cut off all ties with the Xu Family."

Luo Qianqian blinked: "It won’t affect you guys, will it?"

"How could it... With the resources they have, my brother can handle everything himself. Plus, my second brother is a certified lawyer, okay? He operates above board." Qin Nuan’s tone was laden with disdain: "I’ll tell you more when I get home, I’m so disgusted right now."

"Okay." Luo Qianqian hung up the phone only to realize that Xu Tianyi was already standing in front of her, looking puzzled: "What’s up?"

"Where did I go after school?" Xu Tianyi raised an eyebrow.

Luo Qianqian paused, then quickly slapped on a smile: "Didn’t I come home with you for a meal? Let’s eat, I’m still hungry..." Luo Qianqian successfully changed the subject, clutching her stomach with a look of hunger: "I want to eat meat."

"Nope." Xu Tianyi lifted his head in amusement, then noticing the camera that was initially facing another direction had now caught his eye shifted nervously to the side: "Looks like your teacher already knows we’re back."

"Isn’t that obvious? Not to mention the surveillance cameras all over the base, we also have location tracking on our phones, okay?" Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, and after a moment’s hesitation, she felt a bit troubled: "But, I didn’t bring anything back for the teacher today..."

"Order takeout or shall I cook?" Xu Tianyi sighed softly, quietly inquiring.

"You cook." Luo Qianqian replied immediately, then realizing she had responded too quickly, her face blushed slightly as she made an excuse: "The food outside is unhygienic, it could upset the stomach."

Xu Tianyi didn’t say anything, just nodded, pushing her towards the desk: "Finish the papers for today, and it should be about time to eat. Be good."

Luo Qianqian nodded, picked up a pen, but when she saw Xu Tianyi exit, she calmly picked up her phone and texted her little uncle, asking him to bring over some extra food and also to find out what was going on with the Xu Family.

Luo Xiying saw the message and his mouth twitched. Which part was a casual add-on anyway?

But he was extremely curious, so he decisively contacted his friend to see if they knew anything about it. Coincidentally, the friend he asked was Wen Nan from the Wen Family, Wen Zheng’s cousin.

"This matter, I know about it. They’ve invited only second and third-tier families, and they’re talking about marrying into the family to bring in resources and stuff. My cousin probably knows already, she ran out this afternoon," Wen Nan shared without holding anything back, "My family didn’t get invited, speaking of which, it’s because my uncle’s family isn’t doing so well."

"The fundamental reason your family wasn’t invited is probably because you’re a guy," Luo Xiying said without any sugarcoating.

"That’s not necessarily the case, I’m telling you, I’ve never seen matchmaking like this. The main party isn’t showing up, and then they don’t pick the good ones, they take whoever is the least suitable, as if they’re holding a grudge."

"Holding a grudge is certain," Luo Xiying scoffed, "That kid might end up becoming a part of our Luo Family, how could the Xu Family let him just do as he pleases?"

"The Luo Family? Your little niece?" Wen Nan lifted an eyebrow in surprise, "When did you get involved? Why didn’t you think to introduce her to me?"

"Have some shame, will you? There’s a fourteen-year age gap between you two. If you had gotten married earlier, you’d already have a six-year-old by now. You really feel okay being the old cow eating tender grass? Gotta go, I’ll treat you to a meal another day," Luo Xiying teased and cursed.

From the other end of the phone, Wen Nan hastily spoke up, "Hey, hey, hey, there’s no need for another day, I’m free tomorrow."

Luo Xiying facepalmed, "Fine, tomorrow, we’ll talk over the phone tomorrow."

"Done." Wen Nan hung up the phone cheerfully.

Carrying a large bag full of single-use meal boxes, Luo Xiying arrived at the base, handed over the items to Hei Yu, who was monitoring things on the screen, then made his way over to Luo Qianqian with practiced ease, "Have you guys recently offended Xu Xiaoxiao?"

Luo Qianqian spread her hands and sighed, "I knew it was something like that."

"What happened?" Luo Xiying wasn’t interested in his little niece’s private matters, but if it could lead to something bigger, he had to be concerned, after all, she was the only niece he had.

"It’s just her picking a fight, saying she was unhappy because Tianyi wouldn’t be with some girl or another, and she had the audacity to cry harassment," Luo Qianqian recounted the day’s events to Luo Xiying, finishing with a face of helplessness, "There’s just no dealing with people like that."

Luo Xiying raised an eyebrow, "No worries, leave it to me."

"Just don’t hurt Tianyi, after all, he’s innocent," Luo Qianqian hesitated a moment, then quickly added, "In the future, no, he’s the one I’ll protect, yeah, that’s what I mean."

Luo Xiying was resigned, and Xu Tianyi, who stood at the door holding a bowl of porridge, was speechless. Was he not a man? Did he really need such excessive worry?

"Fourth Master..." The words had barely left his mouth when a sharp gaze cut across him, so he touched his nose and corrected himself, "Fourth Uncle, I’ll handle this matter myself, no need to trouble you. It’s not good for the Xu Family to always rely on others."

After Xu Tianyi corrected himself, Luo Xiying swept a teasing glance between the two and then nodded, "I got it. Call me if there’s trouble, and come back for dinner tomorrow."

Both of them nodded in unison, and Luo Xiying took his leave.

Xu Tianyi set the bowl of porridge on the table and gently ruffled Luo Qianqian’s hair, "Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you." But his words lacked confidence with the incident involving Shufan, as no one knew if such troubles would continue.
