Chapter 476: How Did She Fall For Him?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Not long after, Anya and Qin Ming arrived at the small courtyard where Old Gao and the others stayed.

Chu Luo looked at Anya in the wheelchair with a mocking gaze. She thought about how this woman was acting and how Qin Ming actually cooperated with her and didn’t expose her. It seemed like someone was about to succeed.

Those who were eating hotpot tonight were Old Gao and his wife, Chu Luo, Li Yan, the butler, Qin Ming, and Anya.

The seven of them sat together and the atmosphere instantly became lively.

While the men were boiling the food, Chu Luo tilted her head and asked Anya in a low voice, “Why are you in a wheelchair?”

“Blockhead found it for me.” Anya giggled. “Blockhead usually looks so wooden. Why is he so lovable sometimes?”

Chu Luo glanced at her. “Are you sure Qin Ming prepared a wheelchair for you so that he won’t expose you?”

Anya thought for a moment and was conflicted again. “Blockhead didn’t come back last night. Could he have done it on purpose?”

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. Anya glared at Qin Ming with dissatisfaction.

At this moment, Old Gao happened to say, “There are so many of us eating hotpot. How can we not have wine? Why don’t we get someone to get some wine?”

When Chu Luo heard this, she said straightforwardly, “Teacher Gao, are you sure you won’t feel giddy in the helicopter after drinking?”

Old Gao: “…”

He wasn’t sure.

Mrs. Gao gloated and said, “Little Chu is right. If you drink, I won’t care if you vomit on the helicopter later.”

After saying that, she picked up a piece of cooked meat with her chopsticks. “You should eat more food.”

Old Gao was even more depressed.

Seeing that Old Gao was so depressed, Chu Luo said, “Teacher Gao, I’ll give you a few jars of the fruit wine brewed here later. You can drink as much as you want when you go back.”

When Old Gao heard this, his brows instantly relaxed. “Okay.”

After that, everyone chatted and laughed as they finished their hotpot meal.

This was the first time Chu Luo and Anya had eaten hotpot, and they were a little stuffed.

Chu Luo stood up to digest her food.

Anya wanted to stand up too.

However, just as she had this thought, Qin Ming’s gaze shot over.

Anya froze. She suddenly remembered that she was in a wheelchair and said to Chu Luo gloomily, “Chu, push me out for a stroll.”

Chu Luo wanted to say a few words to Old Gao, so she said, “Let Qin Ming push you out.”

Anya: “…”

She just wanted to go out and take two steps to digest her food when no one was around. How was she going to stand up after Blockhead pushed her out?

However, Qin Ming didn’t give her a chance to object. He walked over and pushed her out of the door.

“Hey, Blockhead, I don’t want to go out again.”

Qin Ming pretended not to hear and quickly pushed her out.

Anya turned to look at the expressionless Qin Ming and said in dissatisfaction, “Blockhead, don’t you understand what I’m saying?”

Qin Ming looked at her with his dark eyes.

Anya suddenly couldn’t bring herself to reprimand him.

Soon, Qin Ming pushed her out of the courtyard.

There was no one around.

Anya thought about Blockhead’s reaction. It was obvious that he wanted her to confess by herself, but she simply refused to get up.

At the thought of this, she instructed Qin Ming, “Go over there. I remember that there’s a pavilion over there where one can look at pigeons. I want to see the pigeons.”

Qin Ming pushed her to the left.

The place Anya mentioned was a very large lawn with a pavilion in the middle. Some food would be sprinkled on the lawn every morning. At this time, there were many pigeons looking for food.

As soon as Anya saw the pigeons, she wanted to run over.

However, when she thought of the blockhead behind her, she quickly said to him seriously, “Blockhead, go get me a glass of juice. I’m thirsty.”

Qin Ming glanced at her and turned to walk to the side.

After Qin Ming walked out of sight, Anya immediately stood up from her wheelchair and ran towards the pigeon. Her speed was even faster than a rabbit.

Qin Ming and a subordinate stood behind a stone mountain. The subordinate asked in confusion, “Boss, are you really going to let Princess Anya pretend that she can’t walk and cling to you?”

Qin Ming tilted his head and looked at him expressionlessly.

The subordinate was frightened by his gaze. “Boss, did I say something wrong?”

In the past, if any woman dared to blatantly lie to his boss like this, his boss wouldn’t have bothered with her.

Qin Ming turned his gaze to Anya and said to his subordinate, “Go get some juice.”

“Yes.”

The subordinate quickly went to get the fruit juice.

Qin Ming hugged his arms and leaned against the rock wall as he watched.

He wanted to see how long that woman would pretend for.

Worried that Qin Ming would return soon, Anya chased after the pigeons for a while and returned to her wheelchair.

To her relief, Qin Ming returned with the fruit juice not long after she returned to her wheelchair.

Anya deliberately said to him in dissatisfaction, “Why did it take you so long to get a glass of juice?”

Qin Ming pretended not to hear her. He stuffed the fruit juice into her hand and stood at the side.

Anya frowned at him and thought that a blockhead was indeed a blockhead. How did she fall for him?

…

In the small courtyard.

At seven, Chu Luo and the others sent Old Gao and Mrs. Gao to the parking apron of the Li residence.

Watching the helicopter fly away, Chu Luo said to Li Yan, “Teacher Gao has suffered so much this time. It’s a pity that I didn’t catch the person who planted the Gu poison myself. Otherwise, I would have let him have a taste of the power of brain-eating worms.”

Li Yan wrapped his arm around her waist and the two of them walked towards their courtyard. As they walked, he said, “Even if we don’t catch the person who planted the Gu poison, we can just pin the blame on the Qin family.”

Chu Luo tilted her head and looked at him. “If you deal with the Qin family now, the Duanmu family will be the only one left.”

“Other than the Duanmu family, there are also a few other aristocratic families with considerable strength.”

“Whose family do you plan to help?”

“I won’t help anyone for now.”

Li Yan was only a businessman. Once a businessman was involved in the political circle, things would become complicated. He didn’t want to help anyone, at least not openly.

Chu Luo nodded in understanding.

The two of them didn’t continue talking about this matter but talked about something else.

Just as she returned to her courtyard, Chu Luo received a call from Sun Tianhao.

The first thing Sun Tianhao said was that he wasn’t the one who wanted to call her. “Chu Luo, my grandfather said that it’s time for you to do a checkup for him.”

Chu Luo thought for a while. Indeed, she hadn’t checked on Old Master Sun for a long time. She said, “I’ll discuss with Professor Tang tomorrow and will come over sometime.”

She then asked, “Is there anything else?”

She planned to take a closer look at the books and videos in the microbiology field.

Sun Tianhao cleared his throat and continued, “I heard that you took the level eight exam in five foreign languages today and even scored full marks for all of them. Congratulations.”

Chu Luo replied, “Thank you.”

When Sun Tianhao heard Chu Luo thanking him, he actually raised his voice and said loudly, “Your school is going to have a safety drill in two days. I’m going over as an instructor. If you have time…”

Chu Luo replied, “No time.”

…

Deep breathing came from the other end, followed by Sun Tianhao’s voice through gritted teeth. “I’m not done. How do you know you don’t have time!”

Chu Luo said, “I don’t have time for the next period of time. No matter what you want me to do, I won’t agree.”

Sun Tianhao was so angry that he continued to speak through gritted teeth. “I heard that you’re running for president of the Imperial University Student Union. When the time comes, all the members of the Student Union, especially the president, must cooperate with us.”

Chu Luo stopped talking.

Sun Tianhao was smug. “When the time comes…”

Chu Luo: “No time. I’m hanging up.”

Chu Luo hung up after saying that.

Then, she took her tablet and started reading up on microbiology.

At ten o’clock, Li Yan removed her tablet and said to her, “Didn’t you want to drink?”

Chu Luo’s eyes lit up.

Li Yan pulled her up and led her to the wine cabinet. As they walked, he asked, “What type of alcohol do you want to drink?”

“Everything.”

When Li Yan heard this, he let go of her hand and looked at her. “It’s easy to get drunk when you mix different types of alcohol.”

“I won’t get drunk.” Chu Luo blinked her big eyes confidently.

Li Yan thought for a moment and walked into the bar to retrieve five bottles of wine. He placed them on the counter and poured red wine into the decanter. Then, he opened another bottle and poured it into two glasses.

Chu Luo waited for the wine to be poured before raising it to take a sip. After drinking, she asked, “What alcohol is this?”

“Vodka.”

“It tastes good.”

“Mm.”

Li Yan also picked up the glass of wine in front of him and took a sip.

Chu Luo drank the rest and poured herself a glass of wine.

Li Yan laughed. “You need to savor such alcohol. Don’t drink too quickly.”

“I’ve already tasted it.”

Chu Luo said to him seriously, “I taste wine much faster than others.”

After saying that, she poured another glass and drank it before saying, “But I still think the wine brewed by myself is delicious, especially the Hundred Flowers Wine.”

At the mention of the Hundred Flower Brew, Chu Luo thought of the Hundred Flower Garden.

The moment she thought of the Flower Garden, she thought of the king.

At this moment, someone bit her lips.

“Ah…”

Chu Luo exclaimed in surprise and pushed him in dissatisfaction. “Why did you bite me?”

“Don’t think about him,” Li Yan said domineeringly and sealed her mouth.

Chu Luo said while panting, “That’s also you.”

“Not even me. You can only think of the current me.”

After saying that, Li Yan made a move to seal her lips.

Chu Luo quickly leaned backwards.

Li Yan’s lips landed on her fair neck.

Chu Luo pushed his face and said, “Don’t kiss me. I want to drink.”

She was worried that she wouldn’t be able to drink this alcohol later.

Only then did Li Yan let go of her.

The two of them sat there and continued drinking.

The two of them finished all five bottles of alcohol.

Chu Luo didn’t get drunk and Li Yan got a little tipsy.

However, someone pretended to be drunk and did this and that to Chu Luo for a long time before it ended.
