Chapter 474: Chapter 454: Chance Encounter with Tu Xingyao

"So this is why you wanted to come watch an animated movie? There were other options available." Qin Nuan cradled her newly purchased popcorn and Coca-Cola: "I think it’s feasible, looking at Cong Rong’s cute little appearance, hehe, it even makes my heart flutter."

"But it’s not about whether my Third Brother can take a liking to Cong Rong, it’s about how Cong Rong feels about my Third Brother. Have you seen the look on my Third Brother’s face? I get a tiny sense that he’s embarrassing himself." Luo Qianqian and Qin Nuan checked their tickets and entered the auditorium, settling down in the best viewing spots in the last row.

"Haha, I actually think it’s not bad, Cong Rong appears calm and collected, but he still can’t resist good-looking guys, just like the movie your Fourth Brother made..." Qin Nuan suddenly stiffened as she spoke, "The tickets you bought for them, they aren’t for ’Secret Battle,’ are they?"

"No, I bought a comedy, who watches action films on a date? Plus, you’ve watched that how many times already, it’s not Fourth Brother..."

"Exactly, in that movie, he also had his head shaved, similar to your Third Brother’s hairstyle, just in case he gets noticed when they come out... all good, all good." Qin Nuan breathed a sigh of relief before continuing: "She’s always liked Yhan Miyuan’s face, hehe, so you know."

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Luo Qianqian covered her mouth and snickered: "So you’re saying... what the heck?!"

"What is it?" Qin Nuan hadn’t yet reacted, when Luo Qianqian lifted the popcorn up to her face, following the direction Luo Qianqian was blocking, Qin Nuan scanned and found a highlight, someone clearly in the same trade as Luo Yanwu, also on a first date, appeared before her eyes, and she even recognized the person next to him???

"What the heck!!" She picked up two cups of Coca-Cola and held them in front of her face, fortunately, the two people busy finding seats didn’t look back, there weren’t many people sitting in the hall, if not for both of them being nervous, they wouldn’t have noticed either.

"What the heck are you doing?" Luo Qianqian asked, watching the two people settle down, before she finally breathed a sigh of relief, puzzled by Qin Nuan’s similar behavior.

"What you’re freaking out about is what I’m freaking out about! How could she be here??? And with that big dumb guy??? Isn’t it possible your brother and his crowd are collectively trying to get dates?" Qin Nuan frowned, putting down her drink.

"...We’re probably not freaking out for the same reason, who did you see?" Luo Qianqian eyed the prominent head in front of them, which seemed to definitely belong to the tallest, most foolish Tu Xingyao.

"Fang Rou, the tranquillizer one!" Qin Nuan pointed at the spot beside the ’big dumb guy’: "Is this a date for them? And with a big dumb guy?"

"...Should I break some bad news to you?"

"What?" Qin Nuan looked at Luo Qianqian, who was visibly awkward.

"That ’big dumb guy’ is my grandfather’s friend’s grandson, and he’s also the main instructor for my military training this time..."

"What’s the big deal about that? It’s not a big deal to run into acquaintances in your family, right?"

"He had come to me asking for advice earlier, and I suggested he go see a movie..." Luo Qianqian continued, her tone becoming somewhat helpless: "I clearly mentioned comedy, romance, horror before, how did he end up picking an animated film? Did he only remember the animated film?"

"...So you knew he was asking Fang Rou out?" Qin Nuan’s face looked somewhat strange.

"To be precise, I knew he was planning a date, but I didn’t know who it was with..." Luo Qianqian looked at the two heads in front of her, wanting to say something else, but the lights went out, and without saying anything, she pulled Qin Nuan out of the door before the movie was even over, running away as if escaping.

"Why are we avoiding them?" Qin Nuan was puzzled, and despite not liking Fang Rou, filled with doubts, she still felt it would have been fine to face them openly, since they were not being followed.

"That big brother, he gets shy." Luo Qianqian really didn’t want Tu Xingyao to know she had seen him, otherwise who knows when he might confront her about it.

The movie Luo Yanwu and Cong Rong were watching had just ended as well, and seeing the two smiling happily, they decided to go out for a meal.

However, very unfortunately, it’s normal to run into classmates during a shopping festival at the mall on weekends, but Qin Nuan was sure this person was waiting for them.

"Yo, Luo Qianqian, Qin Nuan, Cong Rong? You guys are also here to play? And this is..." Cao Yingying, holding a shopping bag, looked surprised, and upon seeing Luo Yanwu, her expression turned to admiration, her eyes sparkling.

"Oh, yeah, what a coincidence." Seeing that neither of the two was intending to acknowledge her, Luo Qianqian had no choice but to reluctantly speak up, feeling as though she had stirred up a hornet’s nest.

"Are you also out to eat?" Cao Yingying directly approached and took Luo Qianqian’s arm, causing Luo Qianqian to shudder.

Seeing his sister’s discomfort, Luo Yanwu was about to intervene when Qin Nuan grasped his hand and shook her head slightly at him.

"Yes."

"Then let’s go together. I am also by myself." Although she was speaking to Luo Qianqian, her eyes were fixed on Luo Yanwu, coyly batting her eyelashes and posing.

Luo Qianqian suppressed her disgust and curled up the corners of her lips, "But you probably can’t get into the Shangqi Club, can you?"

Her hand clutching the backpack turned slightly white; anyhow, she and Qin Nuan were not short of money, even if it was expensive, they could scrape enough together.

"Hehe, the four of you..."

"We’ll fit right in. Don’t believe me? You can follow us." Luo Qianqian spoke calmly, then shrugged off her arm, took Qin Nuan by the arm, "Let’s go; I’m starving."

Qin Nuan nodded, knowing this was not the right time to ask anything.

Cao Yingying indeed followed. She wanted to witness them entering to confirm that Luo Qianqian was indeed someone worth her effort to manipulate Qin Nuan and Cong Rong into allying with her.

Luo Qianqian waved for a taxi, had Luo Yanwu and Cong Rong get in, and instructed the driver, "To the Shangqi Club!"

Then, she closed the car door, watching the car speed away. Cao Yingying stamped her foot in secret frustration; she would willingly follow that man even if he were penniless, yet Luo Qianqian had just ruined this perfect opportunity for her to get close to him.

She flagged down another taxi, let Qin Nuan into the back seat, then got in after her, and seeing Cao Yingying trying to join them, she spoke coldly, "It’s too crowded, sit in the front."

Cao Yingying, taken aback, still closed the back door and got into the passenger seat, "To the Shangqi Club."

Since she had spoken up, Luo Qianqian was content to relax; soon it would be the driver asking her to pay.

Upon arriving at the Shangqi Club, seeing the two waiting at the grand entrance, Luo Qianqian grinned, took Cong Rong by the hand, and headed straight for the door.

Cong Rong was about to stop her, recalling that Luo Yanwu had just been refused a card earlier.

"Good evening, esteemed guest, please show your membership card."

As the three of them watched in astonishment, Luo Qianqian pulled a card from her bag. The greeter initially looked puzzled but a second later, as if facing an impending disaster, respectfully saluted, "Please come in."

Luo Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief; she had truly feared the card was fake.

"All four of us can go in, right?" Luo Qianqian said, smirking at the lonely standing Cao Yingying.

The observant waiter immediately nodded, "All four of you, please come in."

Before entering, Qin Nuan turned and rolled her eyes at Cao Yingying. Cao Yingying couldn’t enter and had to take the same taxi back. Luo Qianqian and Qin Nuan had rushed out of the taxi earlier without paying the fare, so this trip was entirely on Cao Yingying’s dime. Yet, having seen Luo Qianqian and the others truly enter, she still breathed a sigh of relief and quietly made a decision.

Unnoticed by anyone, the door greeter, after watching Luo Qianqian and her group enter, picked up the walkie-talkie, "All departments be advised, a Number One Purple Gold Card guest has arrived!"
