“Hahaha, Young Master Qian, are you still awake from that two ounces of horse urine from last night? Who is this young master of the Luo family? How dare you make up his lies like this?”
“You are the one who is obsessed with horse piss! I am telling the truth. Anyone who lies to you is a grandson!”
Qian Shenhao rubbed his temple, hooked his arm around the shoulders of his close friends, and walked out of the box area of this private leisure estate.
The man next to him laughed: “Mr. Qian, don’t blame me for not giving you face. If you hadn’t made up such an outrageous story, I would have pretended to believe it. But listen to what you are saying – Young Master Luo told you that a little girl who came from nowhere is his master. How can this be true?”
“He said it himself, right in front of me!”
“Haha, come on. Pick anyone from this land and they will tell you how difficult that young master is to please. Forget about who he’s flirting with. There are so many pretty girls trying to get on his ship, but has that young master ever even looked at any of them? Could it be that he met a fairy after going to your place?”
“…If you don’t believe it, forget it!”
Qian Shenhao was still groggy from a hangover. So, he pushed the person away angrily and walked forward with all his might.
“Don’t be angry, Young Master Qian,” the man walked up to Qian Shenhao with a smile, “Then tell me, what does that little fairy look like, to be able to so captivate young master of the Luo family?”
Qian Shenhao smacked his lips and said, “I really didn’t see what she looked like. But…”
“But what?”
“I heard her voice at that time. That little noise and small voice was really pleasant to the ear. But it was a pity that she only said two words before Luo Zhan hid her in the house like a treasure.”
“Oh? Which two words?”
“Oh, don’t mention it. Those two words almost gave me a nightmare. I still don’t know if I heard it wrongly–“
“Luo Luo!”
Across a layer of bushes, flowers and low trees, a girl’s laughing voice suddenly came from the cobblestone road next door, as if answering someone’s question.
“It’s called Luo Luo, and it’s the smartest AI robot I’ve ever seen.”
“……!”
On this side of the bushes and flowers, Qian Shenhao suddenly shivered and turned his head sharply: “What the hell, what did she say? Is this a ghost?”
The person next to him was at a loss: “Qian Shao, what’s wrong?”
“Shh, don’t talk yet.”
“Oh.”
The man could only shut his mouth. Then he saw Qian Shenhao tiptoe to the grass next to him, crawl through the gaps between the bushes and flowers, and look towards the stone road on the other side.
“Luo Luo?” Lan Jingqian was slightly startled when he heard this and felt that the pronunciation of this name was somewhat inexplicably familiar.
“Well, I named it that.” The little girl in front of him smiled happily, “Does it sound nice?”
Looking at the little girl’s beautiful smiling face, Lan Jingqian was too lazy to think about those feelings. He just lowered his eyes and smiled gently: “Yeah, it sounds good.”
He supported the little girl and walked slowly along the stone path: “You can tell me more about you and your robot. And the boy you like.”
“OK……”
After the voice faded away, Qian Shenhao slowly stood up with an expression of doubt on his face.
He looked at his friend who had come up to him at some point and said, “Look at that man just now. Did he look familiar?”
His friend who had just gotten over his shock said, “It does look familiar. I’ve seen him on the financial pages every day recently. How could it not be familiar?”
Qian Shenhao: “So he is really Lan Jingqian, am I right?”
“I don’t think so, right? I can’t tell with the bushes between us. But if it’s him, then we’ve stumbled upon a big news story. All the paparazzi have been digging up this matter, but they can only find out that this newly returned CEO Lan is as chaste as a monk. I heard that he was aloof from women when he was abroad, but he actually went out with such a young girl… Hey, Qian Shao, where are you going?”
“No, I have to make a phone call first.”
“Ah? Call? Who are you calling?”
“The young master of the Luo family.”
“Why did you call him??”
“Let me ask if he’s being cheated on…”
“???”
Luo Zhan spent the entire morning in the laboratory working on an algorithm optimization problem, and his cell phone had long been muted and thrown in the corner.
It was almost noon when he saw several missed calls from Qian Shenhao.
Luo Zhan was very sleepy, so he lay back on the sofa and called back.
The other party quickly picked up: “Mr. Luo?”
“Did you look for me this morning?” Luo Zhan asked with a tired voice and his eyes closed.
Qian Shenhao: “Ah, yes, I drank a little yesterday, and my mind was not very clear this morning. I might have hallucinations… I’m fine now, I should be fine.”
Luo Zhan’s eyelids twitched, and his tone was cold: “Are you trying to keep me in suspense?”
“No, I don’t dare. I really think my mind was not clear this morning. I must have heard or seen it wrongly.”
“What’s wrong?”
“That’s right…” Qian Shenhao gritted his teeth, “Didn’t you bring a young lady to my place last time? I heard a little girl’s voice this morning, and it really resembled yours.”
There was silence for a while.
Luo Zhan sneered: “Just the voice is similar, that’s all?”
Qian Shenhao hesitated for a few seconds: “One more thing.”
Luo Zhan laughed angrily: “Go ahead.”
Qian Shenhao stammered, “The key point is that there was a man standing next to the girl, and he looked exactly like…like…”
“Like what?”
“Like Lan Jingqian, the founder of Auto Technology, who just returned to China not long ago.”
“——”
On the sofa, the person who was leaning listlessly with his eyes closed slowly opened his eyes.
Luo Zhan frowned slightly: “Are you sure?”
Qian Shenhao replied guiltily: “I’m not sure, but his profile looked like him.”
Luo Zhan: “…”
Luo Zhan was so angry that he laughed and scolded: “Go away. If you call me like this again, I will blacklist you.”
“Yes, yes, I won’t dare to do it next time.”
“…”
After hanging up the phone, Luo Zhan leaned back on the sofa.
Just a few tens of seconds later, he suddenly opened his eyes again. Taking the phone that he had thrown aside, Luo Zhan dialed Lan Jingqian’s number.
After waiting for 20 to 30 seconds, the other party finally picked up the phone and sounded to be in a good mood: “It’s noon now, why did you think of calling me, young master?”
Luo Zhan was silent for two seconds, then his expression becoming lazy, he asked: “I just suddenly remembered that you left in such a hurry before, have you dealt with that matter?”
“…I guess so.”
Lan Jingqian turned around and glanced at the little girl sitting behind him on an open-air dining table in the distance.
His eyes then softened.
“It seems that there is nothing I can help with?” Luo Zhan asked.
Lan Jingqian was about to nod, but then he thought of something and narrowed his eyes slightly: “Maybe not. There might be a rascal who needs to be dealt with in a few days, and I might need your help for that.”
Luo Zhan smiled lazily: “He can offend someone with your temper. It seems that this person is really bad.”
“…”
The two chatted for a few more sentences. Before hanging up the phone, Luo Zhan asked casually, “Have you met any ambiguous partners recently?”
Lan Jingqian laughed at himself: “I’m going to be a father now, why would I still be ambiguous with other people?”
“?”
“Next week,” Lan Jingqian walked back, “I’ll find a time next week to talk to you in detail.”
Luo Zhan suppressed his surprise and nodded: “Okay.”
“See you next week then.”
“Um.”
Lan Jingqian walked back to the dining table and sat down opposite the little girl.
He smiled and asked, “Is it delicious?”
The little girl, who had eaten the appetizer and had some orange-red shrimp juice on the corner of her mouth, nodded with a smile on her face: “Did uncle go to answer the phone?”
“Well,” Lan Jingqian said casually, “He’s a friend of your uncle, a very good person. I’ll introduce him to you if there’s a chance in the future.”
Tang Ran: “Okay.”
Lan Jingqian laughed: “You are so decisive, aren’t you afraid that he is a bad guy?”
The little girl smiled with her eyes curved: “Since he is my uncle’s friend, he must be a very gentle uncle.”
Lan Jingqian thought about it and laughed: “He is definitely not born having anything to do with the word gentleness – at least I can’t imagine it.”
Tang Ran was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly lowered her voice: “Is that uncle very fierce?”
Lan Jingqian deliberately teased the little girl: “Do you regret agreeing to get to know each other?”
“I won’t……”
Lan Jingqian comforted her: “Don’t worry, your uncle is here. When we meet again in the future, I will ask him to speak less harshly to you.”
The little girl’s eyes curved again: “Okay.”
It was almost evening when Lan Jingqian sent Tang Ran back to the side house.
The little girl seemed to be still unsatisfied, but she immediately expressed her happiness and gratitude to Lan Jingqian politely.
Lan Jingqian had mixed feelings, but he had to suppress them in front of the girl. He could only smile softly, “If you are happy today, then uncle will take you out more often in the future, okay?”
Tang Ran was about to agree without even thinking but paused before nodding.
After a few seconds of pause, the little girl said hesitantly and seriously: “The people in the main house will be unhappy. This is not good for you, uncle.”
“No.” Lan Jingqian tried to hold back but couldn’t help raising his hand and gently stroking the girl’s head. His voice was as soft as possible, and his eyes were slightly moist as he said: “I won’t do that again in the future.”
“Ah?” The little girl looked up blankly, “Uncle, I didn’t hear what you said last time.”
“……Nothing.”
Lan Jingqian restrained himself and withdrew his hand, standing up straight: “What plans does our Xiao Ran have for tomorrow?”
When talking about this, the little girl’s face turned red.
After holding it in for a few seconds, she blushed and whispered, “Uncle, I’m going to ask that boy out on a date tomorrow.”
Lan Jingqian paused: “……?”
The smile froze on the man’s face.
