Chapter 439: Chapter 419: Four People Walking

"Yo, Qianqian, is this a chance encounter?" The speaker was Qin Nuan, who completely ignored Qin Wen, who was staring at her, and started chatting with Luo Qianqian, "How come you’re with my Second Brother Qin? Are you also going to the auction?"

Luo Qianqian nodded, her face the picture of calm, because her Fourth Brother, Mr. Luo Yanran, was behind his fully-equipped sunglasses, giving her dagger looks. If it weren’t for the other people around, he might have dragged her off for a beating right there and then.

Even through sunglasses, Luo Qianqian shivered a bit, feeling Luo Yanran’s aura was anything but friendly. She hurriedly said to Qin Nuan, "Isn’t school starting soon? I just thought I’d go out and have some fun, and I happened to run into Second Brother Qin and I grabbed him. After all, my own brothers don’t take me out to play." While saying this, she shot a glance at Luo Yanran, implying that the whole situation was because of everyone going out on dates, leaving her to randomly grab someone to play with.

Luo Yanran was somewhat amused but also frustrated. In a calm voice, he said, "Alright, hurry up, you guys."

Relieved by Luo Yanran’s eased tone, Luo Qianqian stuck out her tongue at the Qin siblings and obediently sat down to get her styling done.

Qin Nuan then pulled aside her Second Brother, asking in a mysterious whisper, "Qianqian is just grabbing people on the street to go out and play with her?" There was a hint of pity in her voice, as if she regretted something.

Qin Wen shook his head, laughing at his sister’s thought process: "Would she do that? She just happened to run into me while drinking a cold beverage on the roadside."

Only then did Qin Nuan relax. If Luo Qianqian had really been that pitiable, she would have taken her along next time, even if it meant facing Luo Yanran’s dissatisfaction.

The auction wasn’t the kind of antique sale Luo Qianqian had imagined. Instead, it was an ordinary underground auction, with items of value and questionable provenance. The auction’s one benefit was the issuing of auction certificates, which meant any future problems with an item’s origin could always be taken up with the auction house, which would assume full responsibility. It was for this reason that the underground auction enjoyed such a good reputation.

Luo Qianqian’s shoulder-length hair had been curled into a playful style, framing her face. A small, diamond hair clip held back any stray wisps, and the dress Qin Wen had chosen made her look like a lady from a noble family. Qin Wen and Luo Yanran had refused to let the stylist apply makeup to her, so Qin Nuan had simply applied a layer of lip gloss to Luo Qianqian, completing her look.

Compared to Qin Nuan’s half-hour makeup session – ’eye enlargement technique’, ’nose straightening magic’, ’face sculpting art’ – Luo Qianqian could only watch in amazement. Makeup was indeed a miraculous craft. Qin Nuan, originally a fresh and youthful girl, transformed into a noble lady of a great family in the blink of an eye, and even seemed to have a touch of international bloodline in her appearance.

Qin Wen and Luo Yanran had it much easier, merely getting their hair styled. Even when he had his hair done, Luo Yanran took off his glasses but not his mask, after all, there were many women around, and causing a commotion here could ruin the plans for the day for all four of them.

"My brother doesn’t have heat rash?" Luo Qianqian teased, looking at the fully armed Luo Yanran. She then pulled Qin Nuan, now dressed in a backless gown, aside, "Aren’t you afraid you’ll make my brother jealous with that outfit?"

"Heat rash? It should not be on his face, and he’s been wearing short sleeves, so probably not," Qin Nuan shook her head, then looked at Luo Yanran, her eyes filled with amused affection, "Nowadays, dates have to be approached with great preparation, you never know when you might be exposed. Just a few days ago, I bought a batch of film negatives." Qin Nuan’s resignation seemed genuine.

Luo Qianqian was puzzled, "Why don’t you want to go public with him? Normally, isn’t it the woman who pressures for going public? My brother looks like this because you don’t want to, right?"

Qin Nuan sat next to Luo Qianqian, her straight jade back making Luo Qianqian drool, so elegant it was almost a feast for the eyes, "What if we break up? That would affect both of our reputations, wouldn’t it? Besides, neither of our families is minor; I don’t want us to be forced to stay together later just because we had gone public."

Luo Qianqian thought about those celebrity couples who had already split but still showed affection on various shows, and sighed, "You’re right. Is your matter dealt with yet?"

Qin Nuan knew exactly what Luo Qianqian was referring to, but aside from her, Qin Wen didn’t fully understand.

Qin Nuan shook her head, "You’ll know once you start school. I’m almost going crazy now, it’s like dealing with a sticking plaster."

In her past life, Qin Nuan had no intention of continuing the cursed relationship, but she hadn’t expected that the man, as if he had changed souls, would still cling to her doggedly. The Qin Family wasn’t among the Four Great Families and was untouchable compared to that man’s family. Without the Qin Family’s support, he would struggle for a long time to reach his ambitions. Why accumulate slowly when you could soar in one step? So even though he knew Qin Nuan had a lover, he still pursued her relentlessly.

Luo Qianqian nodded, recognizing that their attendance at the same school, though intentional, was also a testament to both their abilities.

"Let’s go." After they finished packing up, Luo Yanran calmly put on her sunglasses and took off her mask, revealing a layer of fine sweat beads below her nose. Qin Nuan smiled, opened her small bag, and pulled out a tissue to wipe away Luo Yanran’s sweat. The natural and cozy scene of the two together caused Luo Qianqian to be somewhat distracted.

Qin Wen watched his sister with an affectionate air, his eyes flickering with amusement. If the big brother of his family’s little overlord saw this, it would be quite amusing.

The four did not split up. Luo Yanran directly called someone to drive away the car she brought and got into Qin Wen’s car. Luo Yanran was quite surprised, "I didn’t expect Second Brother Qin, who usually seems so gentle, would like such a vehicle."

Qin Wen’s vehicle was a Land Rover, which seemed somewhat at odds with his gentle demeanor.

Qin Nuan and Luo Qianqian sat in the back seat, and Qin Nuan chuckled softly, "You should see my big brother’s car—now that’s truly unexpected."

But no matter how Luo Qianqian pressed for details, Qin Nuan refused to divulge them. Seeing the Qin siblings laughing joyfully, Luo Qianqian’s curiosity grew even more.

At this time, in the Qin family’s garage, a flashy red sports car trembled, and a cat emerged from beneath it.

Qin Liang sneezed in his office, rubbed his nose, poured a cup of hot water, and continued writing his training plan.

"Hey, what a coincidence." Luo Qianqian and her group were parking when they saw two people who had just parked their car walking by theirs. Luo Qianqian snorted coldly.

Luo Yanran frowned, "Xu Xiaoxiao? You ran into her again?"

Luo Yanran was of course aware of the youngster who had hit his sister before and had been looking for an opportunity to give her a lesson, but the chance had yet to arise.

Qin Wen recounted the day’s events while Qin Nuan looked at Luo Qianqian humorously, who hadn’t been drawn into Xu Xiaoxiao’s business at all, and whispered into Luo Qianqian’s ear, "Does my Second Brother have a good figure?"

Luo Qianqian looked incredulously at her best friend. After hearing about the incident, was her Second Brother’s physique the real highlight?

Seeing Luo Qianqian’s expression, Qin Nuan touched her nose. With two men around, she figured Xu Xiaoxiao wouldn’t dare to make a move. After all, just her Second Brother alone was a master-level karate practitioner, so there was no need for her to worry.

Luo Qianqian squeezed a few words through clenched teeth, "Good, extremely good."

This wasn’t flattery—compared to Luo Yanran’s physique, Qin Wen’s was superior, especially his abdominals and the inverted triangle shape of his body, the epitome of the golden ratio.

"What’s good?" Luo Yanran overheard his sister’s voice, filled with gritted teeth, and turned to look at the two girls. He then saw one laughing so hard that her eyes vanished and the other with a face so stern as if he owed her two hundred million.

"The weather," Luo Qianqian said through clenched teeth, and then fell silent.
