Chapter 35: Treating Him as a Son

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lu Qingqiao had been busy in the study room after breakfast. During lunch, while in a video conference, she heard Aunty Su ask her to have lunch first.

Qin Xun was playing games on the sofa after lunch when Lu Qingqiao came downstairs for lunch. It was almost three o’clock.

After lunch, she told him that she wanted to take him to a place that night and asked him to stay for another night. She also said that if he felt bored and wanted to go out, he could tell Aunty Su and ask the driver to stroll him out.

Qin Xun responded, then obediently sat on the sofa and continued to play games. From time to time, he would eat the fruits that Aunty Su sent him.

Aunty Su heard Qin Xun politely say to her, “Thank you.”

After that, he stayed there quietly, and her motherly love grew even firmer.

She would surely pamper him a lot if she had such a well-behaved and polite child.

When it was dinner time, Qin Xun was not too hungry, so he decided to wait for Lu Qingqiao to eat together.

Lu Qingqiao only appeared when the sky gradually darkened. She had dinner with Qin Xun and drove Qin Xun out.

The roads in Beijing were busy at night. Qin Xun was eating candy Lu Qingqiao gave him as he looked at the scenery outside the window. The lights flashed past the side of his face through the window. This made it difficult to notice the smile on his lips.

Lu Qingqiao controlled the window on his side to roll down because he liked to look out of the window and said, “I can see it more clearly this way.”

Qin Xun looked at the car window that rolled down. In fact, he wasn’t only looking at the scenery but his reflection in the window from time to time.

He didn’t ask her where they were going while looking at the distant buildings. He liked this kind of uncertainty.

When he noticed a road sign, he realized that Lu Qingqiao was heading to a famous amusement park in the capital.

“Oh?”

“An amusement park?”

Lu Qingqiao was bringing him to the amusement park… For fun?

She wouldn’t seriously raise him like a son, would she?

Qin Xun’s mood took a turn. His expression was very complicated when he saw the brightly lit amusement park that was unusually lively at night.

“Qin Xun, get off the car.” Lu Qingqiao reminded him.

The car door was opened by the amusement park’s manager, who had come to welcome her. When Qin Xun got out of the car, he heard the manager respectfully say to Lu Qingqiao, “CEO Lu, the best viewing location is at the top of the tower in the park. Please, take the tour bus.”

They got on the tour bus of the amusement park and soon arrived at the tower that the manager had mentioned. The elevator reached the top of the tower.

One could easily see the whole view of the amusement park from a large terrace at the top of the tower. The lights in the amusement park were dreamy, and people were moving around. A small square full of people to rest was very lively.

Tea, snacks and comfortable seats were already prepared on the balcony. Lu Qingqiao thanked the manager for his hard work. Only Qin Xun and Lu Qingqiao remained on the balcony when the manager left.

Just as Qin Xun was about to speak, Lu Qingqiao turned to the side and said, “I’ll smoke a cigarette.”

She avoided Qin Xun and returned to smoke a cigarette. Qin Xun was still sitting on the sofa and playing games.

Lu Qingqiao looked at the time and asked, “Are you almost done?”

“Yes, soon.” Qin Xun was playing the most popular MOBA tower pushing game. He was playing an assassin champion. Lu Qingqiao watched as he played to the point where the opponent’s mid-laner kept sending text messages.

She didn’t know much about the game’s mechanics, but she read what the other party’s words said. [Qin Xun, you’re not human. I didn’t have any game experience today. You’ve been dying ever since I queued up. I died 18 times this time, 18 times! You came to catch me as soon as I went online to farm. My mentality has collapsed. We’re no longer friends!]

It was obviously someone Qin Xun knew.

Qin Xun didn’t show any mercy. He led the other four players to push the enemy’s crystal and the victory sign popped up. As soon as he logged out of the game, Yi Sui sent many messages.

He was the opponent mid-laner who had been killed 18 times.

He and Qin Xun were both high-ranked players. Today, they had collided many times in the game. Qin Xun played more as a jungle man. The two were on the same team. Qin Xun let him go and didn’t visit him once. So, they were on the opposite team now.

Qin Xun sent him a middle finger emoji and put away his phone. He looked up and saw Lu Qingqiao was already leaning against the wall waiting for him.
