Chapter 417: Chapter 398: Crazy Decision

Qin Nuan gave Luo Qianqian a glare, took Baozi away from her arms, and clasped Luo Qianqian’s hand, laughing. She hadn’t even warmed up yet, and a dog had beaten her to it?

Luo Qianqian giggled as she held onto Qin Nuan, her eyes gleaming with amusement as she looked over Qin Nuan and Luo Yanran. However, Qin Nuan blushed, and slapped Luo Qianqian’s hand, "I came to see you, I’ll go home if you keep this up."

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Nuannuan is the best." Luo Qianqian smiled as she watched her friend’s shy expression, saying nothing more, just as Qin Nuan had stated—she wouldn’t interfere further, whether it was arguing or whatever, she wouldn’t get involved.

"By the way, Grandpa, I want to go to the place where you got me the peace charm last time and get one for my mom and my unborn brother or sister," Luo Qianqian said cheerfully.

Old Master Luo looked serious, "Who’s going with you?"

Luo Qianqian awkwardly touched her nose, was he really cutting to the chase: "A friend."

Luo Yanran was posturing triumphantly on the side, and Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Let your brother and Nuannuan go with you, I can’t be at ease with you two kids alone," Old Master Luo spoke, heart aching a bit, as if everyone didn’t know who that stinky boy was—as if becoming official before, but now sneaking around, had he matured or gotten timid?

"Okay." Luo Yanran readily agreed, and Qin Nuan nodded as well.

"..." You agreed without asking if I wanted to go? Qin Nuan held back her words, not speaking.

"Alright, go cook, Qianqian come with me to the study," Old Master Luo told his wife and daughter-in-law before standing up and signaling with his eyes to Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian obediently followed, not forgetting to mention, "Granny, don’t forget the tomato and eggs."

Hearing Luo Qianqian’s words, for some reason, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

In the study.

Old Master Luo sat behind his desk, his face serious and earnest as he looked at his granddaughter.

Luo Qianqian, feeling somewhat guilty under his gaze, subconsciously touched her neck.

Old Master Luo glared, "What are you touching? Afraid your granny wouldn’t notice, right?" His eyes conveyed sympathy, but his tone was anything but gentle.

Luo Qianqian guiltily lowered her head, "Well, she didn’t notice, did she?" Sure enough, Old Master Luo had noticed, and Luo Qianqian silently mourned for her neck.

"Has it really healed?" After a moment’s silence, Old Master Luo, still with a tone of concern, asked.

Luo Qianqian somehow felt relieved, nodding, "Now I sleep through the night, feeling more robust and everything tastes great."

"That’s good. You know that guy is leaving, right?" Old Master Luo hesitated in his tone, seemingly worried about something.

Luo Qianqian looked up into Old Master Luo’s concerned eyes and smiled, "Otherwise, why does Grandpa think I suddenly came back?"

"Ah, you kids’ matters, an old man like me really can’t manage," his tone switching from wistful to coy.

Luo Qianqian chuckled, circled around the desk, and started massaging his shoulders, softly saying, "Grandpa, don’t worry, no matter how much I like him, I won’t lose my sense of propriety. If Grandpa disagrees, I will let go."

Old Master Luo’s eyes widened, "Am I such an unreasonable Grandpa?"

Luo Qianqian, hearing the expected exasperation in Old Master Luo’s voice, smiled tenderly, "Grandpa isn’t, I’m just showing that I’m a filial child."

Old Master Luo was speechless.

Luo Qianqian suddenly remembered something, "Ah right, I also brought back a can of tea leaves for Grandpa."

Old Master Luo turned to look at his granddaughter, "You were so rushed and still had the mood to shop for things to bring back?"

Luo Qianqian shrugged, "No matter how hurried I am, I couldn’t possibly fly the plane myself, could I?"

Old Master Luo laughingly scolded, "Then go get it for me now!"

Luo Qianqian immediately complied, went downstairs, opened her suitcase, and apart from several pieces of clothing, it was packed with various gifts.

"Grandpa’s tea leaves, Granny’s cheongsam, the two aunts’ dresses, Great-uncle’s belt, Second Uncle’s tie, the three brothers’ shoes, Baozi’s floral dog food, Nuannuan’s scarf, oh dear, I forgot to get something for Fourth Brother..." Everyone had already noticed Luo Qianqian rifling through her suitcase downstairs. Watching that pile of boxes and cans, they didn’t know what to say.

At that moment, Luo Yanran couldn’t stand it anymore; he burst out, "Luo Qianqian, how could you remember the dog and yet forget me?! Am I not your brother? Is it Baozi who’s actually your brother?"

Luo Qianqian blinked her innocent big eyes and handed the dog food to Luo Yanran, "How about this for you then?"

Baozi, having its own thoughts, bit Luo Yanran’s trouser leg.

Luo Yanran, looking at yet another pair of trousers dampened by dog saliva, unsure what face to make, and seeing Qin Nuan’s amused gaze, helplessly squatted down and patted its head, "It’s yours, it’s yours, I don’t want it, okay?" Baozi happily let go upon hearing this.

Luo Qianqian smiled, "Baozi is really smart."

Then, she went around distributing the gifts and, when she reached Qin Nuan, realized there were two for her. Looking up, she saw Luo Qianqian winking at her.

Then she took the tea leaves upstairs.

As soon as Luo Qianqian went upstairs, the three people who were busy in the kitchen immediately came out to look at the gift placed on the sofa, thoughtfully labeled. Jia Ning opened the wrapping instantly, a puzzled look on her face: "Wasn’t Qianqian just at... Isn’t this silk?"

"Speaking of which, the tea leaves just now also seemed to be Longjing."

Indeed, the items were definitely from that place, but being so close by, who said there wasn’t a specialty store?

"Mom, Qianqian doesn’t like me anymore. Even Baozi got a gift, but not me," Luo Yanran was furious, even though there were other things still inside the box that just weren’t given to him. Then a hand reached over from behind him, presenting a box in front of him.

Luo Yanran turned around, puzzled, only to find Qin Nuan, who also had another box and a bag containing a silk scarf in her arms.

"Qianqian gave them, I just knew you’d speak ill of her," Qin Nuan said unhappily.

Jia Ning smiled and walked into the kitchen to continue gossiping about her niece with Granny and her sister-in-law.

Old Master Luo accepted the gifts and then sent Luo Qianqian back to her room to rest. As soon as Luo Qianqian returned to her room, she immediately took out her phone, and sure enough, there were already three messages.

I’m home now.

I’ve finished eating.

Did you ask about going out tomorrow?

The sender was naturally Xu Tianyi, and Luo Qianqian called him with a giggly smile.

"Just now got time to respond to me?" The call was immediately answered, and his lazy voice betrayed his good mood.

Luo Qianqian, chuckling stealthily, said, "I was just grilled with questions. Were you waiting for me?" She realized from his relaxed tone that he must not be at the Xu Family’s place.

"Hmm." Xu Tianyi bent his lips into a smile: "I’m at your Fourth Brother’s apartment."

Luo Qianqian raised her eyebrows in surprise, not a hint of curiosity about her thoughts from Xu Tianyi, but curious about his location: "My Fourth Brother actually let you into his apartment? Wasn’t Luo Yanran the one most opposed to you seeing me initially?"

"Thanks to Qin Nuan," Xu Tianyi chuckled, understanding Luo Qianqian’s thoughts.

Luo Qianqian raised her eyebrows, the two of them were moving that fast?

"By the way, we can go out tomorrow," Luo Qianqian hurriedly announced the good news.

"Does it also have to include your Fourth Brother and Qin Nuan?" Xu Tianyi continued.

Luo Qianqian pursed her lips, finding no satisfaction in talking to him: "Yes."

Sensing Luo Qianqian’s slight displeasure, Xu Tianyi chuckled. It was something he had anticipated. Considering the challenges set by Old Master Luo, he himself wasn’t completely confident in fulfilling them, but hearing Luo Qianqian’s voice made him feel it was imperative to do so.

He didn’t know why he was so infatuated, both of them still pretty much teenagers and full of doubts about the future, yet Luo Qianqian was utterly certain about him. He thought of the small child from back then and couldn’t help but laugh.

Luo Qianqian asked in puzzlement: "What are you laughing at?"

Xu Tianyi said, "I was thinking, when I come back, will you come to meet me holding a white cat?"

Luo Qianqian curved her lips: "If you need that, I’ll definitely satisfy you," then she pulled open the desk drawer, which was already half-filled with gifts.

"By the way," Luo Qianqian suddenly said, "Is there anything you want or would like to do before you leave?"

"Yes," Xu Tianyi replied, sitting on the floor against the bed, resting his head on it and staring at the ceiling: "I want to go see the sea with you."

Luo Qianqian was silent for a moment: "Is it the third or fourth day after three days?"

"The fourth day."

"Okay," Luo Qianqian paused for a long while before saying, "I want to do something crazy, do you dare?"

Xu Tianyi sensed something, his body suddenly sitting upright, he asked seriously, "What is it?" then paused a bit: "What’s there to fear if I’m with you?"

Luo Qianqian hooked her lips: "Good, you’re daring. Tomorrow will be a packed schedule, so you should rest early and wake up early. We’ll meet at Lu Simiao’s place. I need to sort things out for him these days."

Xu Tianyi agreed, his eyes glittering.

After hanging up, Luo Qianqian hesitated for a moment but still made a call to book two plane tickets.

"If I don’t go wild now, I’ll be old," Luo Qianqian hung up the phone, mumbling to herself: "If I don’t go wild, he will leave."
