“Little Qing…” Si Jingsen looked at Lu Qingqiao affectionately and said gently, “May I have a few words with you in private?”

Lu Qingqiao guessed that he was after the iron plate.

She wanted to see if she could get anything out of him.

“Qin Xun, get in the car first.”

“Alright,” he said. Qin Xun glanced at Si Jingsen. His dark eyes hid a trace of probing. When he saw the smugness in Si Jingsen’s expression, Qin Xun turned back and said in a clear and modest voice, “Lu Qingqiao, hurry up and finish. I’m hungry.”

Lu Qingqiao’s eyes softened as she replied. “Alright,” she said.

After getting in the car, Qin Xun took out his phone. He was about to play a game but suddenly exited the application and opened the dialog box with Jiang Tingyun. He sent a message. [Does Lu Qingqiao care about Si Jingsen?]

He had heard a few words about the past between Lu Qingqiao and Si Jingsen, so he couldn’t be sure if Lu Qingqiao cared about Si Jingsen.

Then, Lu Qingqiao had most likely hired him for Si Jingsen if she did.

Why did Lu Qingqiao indulge in him so much if she didn’t care?

Did she love him?

He could tell that Lu Qingqiao liked him at most, not loved.

His recent interactions made him more inclined to the latter.

While Qin Xun was deep in thought, Lu Qingqiao had already finished her conversation with Si Jingsen.

“So fast?”

Qin Xun was a little surprised. It had not even been a minute.

Si Jingsen was tight-lipped. Lu Qingqiao couldn’t find out anything. She didn’t bother to waste her breath on him either. With a few sentences, she set up a trap for him to fall into and waited for him to give her the clues himself.

Lu Qingqiao took a piece of candy from the storage box and gave it to Qin Xun. “Have a candy first.”

Sugar?

Qin Xun looked at the candy in her hand, and his heart trembled.

Seeing his surprise, Lu Qingqiao asked, “You don’t like candy?”

“No, I like it very much.” Qin Xun closed her fingers slightly.

“There’s still quite a lot. Eat if you like.”

“Yes.”

The sugar coating was removed, and the sweet taste filled his mouth. It was the sweetness he had always longed for when he was young. He had forgotten about it later, but now it was back.

Lu Qingqiao looked at the way he clutched the candy, and her heart ached for him. He had suffered since he was young and couldn’t even hide the satisfaction felt when he got candy.

He had to prepare more sugar in the car later.

From then on, every time Qin Xun saw Lu Qingqiao, she always had candy to eat.

After Lu Xueru’s family moved out, the housekeeper, Su Rong, tidied up the Lu residence and prepared a room for Qin Xun according to Lu Qingqiao’s instructions.

Qin Xun’s room had an excellent view of the garden and the vast swimming pool of the Lu family’s manor villa.

Qin Xun never picked a place to sleep. He went to sleep after washing up and taking medicine. He slept until the following day, only to be awakened by the sound of a video invitation on his phone.

He rubbed his messy curly hair and looked at his phone with difficulty. It was a call from Yi Sui.

He got up from the bed with difficulty and slowly pressed the answer button. A big face was printed on the phone screen and rushed at Qin Xun.

“You came so early in the morning just to let me see your face so big that the screen can’t fit it?” Qin Xun, who got up in a lousy mood, started to ridicule him.

Yi Sui’s eyes darted left and right as if he wanted to see something. “Lord, did you lose your virginity last night?”

Qin Xun was speechless.

He felt a crow fly past him.

“If there’s a hole in your brain, go and treat it! What do you think about every day?”

Qin Xun had just gotten up, and his mind wasn’t clear. He was also shocked by Yi Sui, so he moved to the balcony to get some air.

He placed his phone on the table and let Yi Sui look at the brick surface. But he didn’t notice that the phone camera was exposed outside the table, just in time to see the incredible scenery below.
