Chapter 82

Lu Chengwen's old face turned red, and he mumbled softly, "Stop joking around."

Although Leng Qingqiu's cheeks were also slightly red, she was smiling brightly. Seeing Lu Chengwen's innocent and shy demeanor, she felt a sudden urge to tease him and called out again, "Dad?"

Lu Chengwen blushed even more: "Y-You, you, you... Stop joking around. If someone hears us, they'll think we're perverts."

"Doesn't Dad feel very concerned about his daughter? Would you like me to be your secretary?"

Lu Chengwen stood up: "If you keep joking around, I won't talk to you anymore."

Leng Qingqiu also stood up, very certain: "You like me."

"There's no such thing." Lu Chengwen looked away, not knowing where to put his hands.

Leng Qingqiu laughed even harder: "It's settled then. Starting tomorrow, I'll be your secretary."

Then she leaned close to Lu Chengwen's ear: "If you install a big bathtub in your office suite, I'll take a bath with you."

Lu Chengwen's face turned red and his neck swelled.

He used to be a food delivery guy, poor and unattractive, standing at 1.69 meters tall, with low education, a rural household registration, zero savings, no house, no money to buy cigarettes, and unable to drink...

Although he had a few experiences as a villain, he never really enjoyed them before being killed off by the protagonist.

Xu Xue was delicate, and Chen Mengyun was gentle, but he found that the one he couldn't resist the most was Leng Qingqiu.

Leng Qingqiu, who was usually very serious, suddenly became gentle, playful, and even a bit mischievous, which made Lu Chengwen completely unable to resist.

His heart raced uncontrollably, his face flushed as if he had a fever, his hands and feet were at a loss, his mind was muddled, and even his tongue wouldn't listen to him.

Leng Qingqiu found Lu Chengwen to be incredibly amusing.

"Hey, didn't you always go out to chase girls in college? Weren't you the one who could charm seven girls in and out of the game? And you weren't this shy in the past three years, right?"

Lu Chengwen, blushing, said: "I was..."

"Is it because I'm different from them?"

Lu Chengwen immediately nodded, then quickly shook his head: "Stop joking around."

Leng Qingqiu was extremely happy inside.

In her mind, Lu Chengwen wasn't an ordinary boy. He had seen and experienced a lot, and there were never a lack of beautiful women around him.

The highest praise she could get from him was probably "different from other girls."

Leng Qingqiu felt that although she had lost Qianfeng, which was inevitable, she could only accept reality.

But today, winning Lu Chengwen's heart made her feel incredibly joyful and hopeful about the future.

"Alright, you look scared. I won't tease you anymore."

The two of them strolled along the shaded path in the park.

Zhao Gang and Jiang Shihan followed them from a distance.

Lu Chengwen was in a state of inner conflict.

【How did this turn into a date?】

【Leng Qingqiu is really beautiful. Standing in the park, she looks like a painting. Her appearance and figure... She's the kind of goddess in movies that can drive men crazy, making them willing to do anything to get her.】

【Let's walk down this street.】

Lu Chengwen thought:

【I'll enjoy the romance of this little path.】

Leng Qingqiu, who clearly heard his thoughts, still asked Lu Chengwen: "What are you thinking about? Why aren't you talking?"

"Ah? Nothing." Lu Chengwen, caught off guard, didn't know what to say and scratched his head awkwardly.

"Just... I've been busy lately and haven't had time to take a walk like this."

"Once I'm not so busy, you can often invite me out."

Lu Chengwen, like a shy college student, was a bit embarrassed.

【Bro, what are you nervous about! You always have a ton of theories about chasing girls. Why are you so timid when there's actually a girl?】

【Relax! Think about how to respond to her.】

【Girls like guys with a sense of humor. Yes! I'll show her my sense of humor.】

"Cough, cough." Lu Chengwen coughed twice, turned around, looked at Leng Qingqiu, and opened his mouth, but then froze.

Leng Qingqiu looked at him, trying not to laugh, waiting to hear how he would show his sense of humor.

But he was like someone who had been paralyzed, unable to move.

After a few seconds, Lu Chengwen quickly turned around: "Let's go this way. This way... is better."

Leng Qingqiu burst out laughing.

She caught up: "Hey, I didn't know you could be shy too?"

Lu Chengwen's face was red all the way to his ears, pretending to be nonchalant: "No, I'm not shy. I have the thickest skin."

Leng Qingqiu giggled uncontrollably.

They reached the end of the path, and the park's exit was in sight.

Lu Chengwen turned to look at Zhao Gang, who understood and immediately ran out to prepare the car.

【It's time. Sigh.】

Lu Chengwen turned to Leng Qingqiu: "Qingqiu."

"Hmm?"

"I used to like you."

"Used to?"

"Yes." Lu Chengwen smiled: "In the past three years, everyone said I was a love slave, but... I don't regret it. I felt quite happy."

"Oh."

"Now, our lives have changed dramatically. I hope we can still be friends."

"Friends?"

"Yes. No matter what difficulties you face in the future, if you need help, I'll always be there."

"Just friends?"

"Just friends, only friends."

"What kind of friends?"

Lu Chengwen looked at Leng Qingqiu, no longer shy or evasive, and calmly met her eyes.

This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading!

"The kind of friends who don't often contact each other, don't have meals together, don't call, don't go to the movies... but will do anything for each other in critical moments."

Leng Qingqiu's enthusiasm faded, and a huge sense of loss washed over her.

"Why?"

Lu Chengwen smiled: "No reason. My situation is complicated now, and I can't explain it to you. In short... trust me, this is the best choice for you, for me, and for everyone."

"What if I don't agree?"

Lu Chengwen turned around: "Let's go."

Leng Qingqiu caught up and grabbed Lu Chengwen: "I'm asking you, what if I don't agree?"

"I don't understand either. You clearly hated me before, why do you suddenly like me?"

"I don't understand even more. You clearly liked me, why do you suddenly hate me?"

"I don't hate you."

"Then why don't you like me?"

Lu Chengwen didn't know how to explain: "Call me if you need anything."

"Stop."

Leng Qingqiu clung to Lu Chengwen: "Explain clearly, why don't you like me anymore? Is it because I treated you badly before? I can apologize."

"No, no, no." Lu Chengwen said: "You didn't do anything wrong, you don't need to apologize. I was a real pain in the past, and I even hated myself. So it's completely normal that you ignored me before."

"What do you mean?"

At that moment, a voice came: "Brother Chengwen!"

The two of them looked over, and a beautiful girl in a floral dress with a sun umbrella walked over.

The girl was truly a beauty, a national treasure.

Her long, slender legs, even covered by the dress, revealed a smooth calf that made one feel the charm of her legs just from the curve of the dress and the calf.

Her smooth, white arms and long, slender fingers gently held the umbrella handle, and her high heels made her feet look very sexy and alluring.

She walked up to Lu Chengwen, put away the umbrella: "What? Don't recognize me?"

Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Chengwen, who looked at the newcomer and thought:

【Oh no, why is it her!】

Luo Shiyin couldn't swallow this!

Men usually flocked to her without her even using any tricks.

She even used some techniques on Lu Chengwen, and this guy wasn't interested in her!?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

He's either not a man or not a complete man!

Otherwise, he couldn't be uninterested in her!

But the information didn't say that. This guy was quite the player in college, with enough experience to write a book.

Later, he pursued Leng Qingqiu for the family business and became a love slave.

He had the qualities of a love slave, and she was his devoted follower!

I, Luo Shiyin!

After ten years of learning secret techniques, my greatest asset is making men go crazy.

If I can't handle a love slave, how can I face the young master? How can I face my master?

Long Aotian has already connected with Huo Wenden, and the young master's grand plans are about to unfold.

And I must handle Lu Chengwen!

Leng Qingqiu's face immediately turned cold, and she looked at Lu Chengwen: "Do you know her?"

Lu Chengwen thought:

【I wish I didn't know her, but I almost lost my mind to her, and I can't forget her.】

This inner monologue made Leng Qingqiu very sad.

"Almost lost my mind" and "can't forget her" made Leng Qingqiu feel like she was facing a formidable enemy.

Especially since the woman in front of her was no less attractive than herself and seemed to exude a seductive aura.

Men are most afraid of this type.

How did that saying go? In the face of sexiness, cuteness is nothing!

And this woman, not to mention Lu Chengwen, even she found her sexy.

Not the kind of overt, revealing sexiness, but a kind of innate charm that stimulates men, making them want to conquer, control, and possess.

Luo Shiyin smiled: "Oh, this pretty lady, who is she?"

Lu Chengwen said: "You don't know her. What's up?"

Luo Shiyin said with a pout: "You didn't help me yesterday, and I almost fell into Huo Wenden's hands."

Lu Chengwen said: "We have things to do, let's go."

"Brother Chengwen, can you help me with something?"

"I'm in a hurry."

Lu Chengwen grabbed Leng Qingqiu's hand and hurried to leave.

Leng Qingqiu was surprised and suddenly felt happy again.

Indeed, he still likes me.

Me too! Why did I suddenly lose confidence?

Brother Chengwen has seen it all, what kind of beauty hasn't he seen? Women need to have inner qualities.

This woman... humph, she exudes a seductive aura, Brother Chengwen won't like her.

Luo Shiyin blocked Lu Chengwen, looking pitiful: "Brother Chengwen, can you help me just a little?"

Leng Qingqiu frowned: "Hey, hey, hey, be a bit more appropriate. This is a park, not a hotel."

Luo Shiyin covered her mouth: "Sister, you're so mean. I'm not like that, I really need your help."

Lu Chengwen was about to lose his mind.

"Fine, fine, fine, just say it quickly. What help do you need? I'm in a hurry."

"Oh."

Luo Shiyin said: "I have a jade pendant. I need money urgently, so I want to sell it. I heard that Dashing Group has an auction house. Can you help me?"

Luo Shiyin took out the jade pendant and handed it to Lu Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen didn't reach out to take it.

He just said: "I'll give you a number. Contact this person, and he'll help you."

"Oh, this jade pendant was left to me by my grandmother, and she's no longer with us..."

Leng Qingqiu narrowed her eyes, thinking this woman was ruthless.

She clearly wanted to establish a long-term connection with Lu Chengwen, using the loss of a loved one to add a tragic touch. There was no way Lu Chengwen wouldn't be moved. Despite his usual jerkiness, he was very soft-hearted at critical moments.

To their surprise, Lu Chengwen was completely unmoved.

"The jade pendant's origin doesn't matter. Contact this person and negotiate the price with him. Qingqiu, let's go."

"Hey, Brother Chengwen..."

Lu Chengwen said irritably: "Hey! I've helped you. Don't keep bothering me!"

"Why?" Luo Shiyin was almost in tears: "Why are you so mean to me?"

Leng Qingqiu rolled her eyes and took the jade pendant: "I'll help you sell it. Give me your number."

Lu Chengwen was shocked: "Don't take her things!"

But it was too late.
