Chapter 781: Chapter 781: There’s a Surprise Chapter 781: Chapter 781: There’s a Surprise Qiao Yun opened the door to leave, and Li Hanzhou was already waiting outside. Seeing Qiao Yun descend, he naturally stepped forward and took her hand.
Qiao Yun didn’t struggle, obediently allowing him to lead her, she looked up at Li Hanzhou.
The weather had gotten hot.
He was wearing only a simple black shirt, broad shoulders tapering to a narrow waist, his legs straight and long.
Perhaps it was due to his cold deanor, but Qiao Yun, standing beside him, didn’t feel the heat; instead, she felt a refreshing chill, very comfortable.
Li Hanzhou led Qiao Yun into the car and also helped her fasten the seat belt.
Qiao Yun obediently let him do so.
Li Hanzhou’s deep eyes looked at her and he drawled, “Being so good, aren’t you afraid I will sell you?”
“Not afraid, you can’t beat .” Qiao Yun’s eyes were downcast as she looked at him, raven-like eyelashes resting on her eyelids, her gaze clear and bright.
Li Hanzhou’s gaze swept over Qiao Yun’s slender arms and legs, with a hint of skepticism.
Qiao Yun modestly said, “Small but mighty.”
Li Hanzhou was amused by her, clearly not believing Qiao Yun’s words.
Qiao Yun didn’t explain further; if her combat power wasn’t enough, she still had weapons.
Aside from her clothes, everything she carried was a miniature weapon developed by the Tianqi Research Institute.
Her self-defense capabilities were top-notch.
After the car started, Qiao Yun then asked, “Where are we going?”
Li Hanzhou replied, “To buy you an evening gown.”
Qiao Yun spoke in a faint voice, “I have many, and Pei Yao will prepare them for .”
“You are my girlfriend.” Li Hanzhou turned his head to look at her, his thin lips raised slightly, his tone casual, “What business is it for Pei Yao to buy for you.”
“Oh.” Qiao Yun understood, raised her eyes, and bluntly said, “You are jealous again.”
Li Hanzhou laughed helplessly, “Is it not very normal for to be jealous of my girlfriend?”
“Okay then.” Qiao Yun indulged him, “Let’s have you buy them.”
Feeling spoiled, Li Hanzhou: “…”
Soon, Li Hanzhou took Qiao Yun to an upscale custom boutique.
As the two of them walked in, a handso man and beautiful woman, they attracted much attention.
The manager greeted them beamingly.
Li Hanzhou’s hand rested on Qiao Yun’s shoulder, his lips curved in a charming smile, “My girlfriend, I’ll leave her in your hands.”
Upon hearing they were a couple, the manager lavished them with praise, which elated Li Hanzhou.
Qiao Yun glanced at him, “You seem very much like…”
“Hmm?”
Qiao Yun thought for a mont, “Like soone who got a cool toy and wants to show it off to everyone.”
Li Hanzhou’s look darkened slightly, he murmured, “You’re not a toy, you’re a treasure.”
Li Hanzhou could sense that there were still secrets about Qiao Yun, but since he didn’t know them at the mont, and of course, Qiao Yun didn’t tell, he wouldn’t ask.
Qiao Yun was taken by the manager to change into evening gowns.
When the first one was tried on, Li Hanzhou was silent for a long ti before he picked out a conservative yet stunning dress, saying, “This one.”
Such a pretty kid, he couldn’t bear to let others see her.
Qiao Yun: “…”
So willful.
But who made him her own person; indulging his occasional wilfulness was still acceptable.
After buying the gown, Li Hanzhou then took Qiao Yun to a Western restaurant that had been booked in advance. To avoid disturbance, he reserved the entire place.
This Western restaurant was difficult to book, the sort one couldn’t get into with money alone. However, since it was part of the Li Family’s assets, Li Hanzhou had no trouble reserving the entire space.
It was Qiao Yun’s first ti in such an exclusive setting with Li Hanzhou, but she adapted quite well.
After the food arrived, Qiao Yun lowered her head and started eating.
Li Hanzhou watched her and suddenly asked, “Professor Qiao, what do you fancy about ?”
He had always been curious about how Qiao Yun had co around and why she had agreed to be with him.
He was prepared for a lifeti of battle, yet the situation took an unexpected turn.
Without lifting her eyelids, Qiao Yun leisurely ate her food and said indifferently, “Because you’re handso.”
Li Hanzhou: “…”
Qiao Yun raised her head and emphasized again, “You are handso.”
The first ti she saw Li Hanzhou, she thought he was handso.
Although Professor Qiao might not understand the full spectrum of emotions, she could appreciate beauty.
Li Hanzhou suddenly felt extrely grateful for the handso face his parents had given him, otherwise, he wouldn’t even be able to touch a hair on Qiao Yun’s head, let alone date her.
After finishing their al, Li Hanzhou took Qiao Yun back ho.
When she got ho and unbuckled her seatbelt, sothing suddenly flashed through Qiao Yun’s mind, and she looked up, “Are we on a date?”
Li Hanzhou laughed and said, “Professor Qiao, you just realized that we’re on a date today? Wasn’t it agreed that I’d take you out on a date as a reward for doing well on your exams?”
Qiao Yun humd, rembered the information she had seen, and asked directly, “Now that the date’s over, should we kiss?”
Li Hanzhou was montarily stunned, then smiled, “Sure.”
…
Qiao Yun opened the door and went ho, where Su Mian, who had been keeping an eye on the ti waiting for her, narrowed his eyes and sized up his daughter from top to bottom. Not noticing anything unusual, he finally relaxed.
Qiao Yun pursed her lips: “I’m going upstairs.”
“Okay,” said Su Mian, advising Qiao Yun to rest early since there would be many guests at tomorrow’s academic promotion banquet, and it would be busy.
Back in her room, Qiao Yun raised her hand to touch her face, which felt a bit hot.
The second intimate contact wasn’t unpleasant.
At that mont, her phone rang. Qiao Yun looked down and saw a ssage from Pei Yao.
[Boss, Xu Long asked to relay a ssage to you.]
[What is it?]
[He said: “Professor Qiao, rest assured, I’m definitely not the kind of person who betrays his master.”]
After sending that, Pei Yao imdiately asked: [Boss, what have you done to him? You see, you’ve scared him like that.]
Qiao Yun: […Don’t worry about it.]
She had a rough idea it was related to taking on an apprentice.
[Alright, also the dress for tomorrow’s academic promotion banquet, I’ve arranged for soone to deliver it.]
Qiao Yun, feeling sowhat uneasy, still replied: [No need, Zhouzhou bought one for .]
Pei Yao, holding his phone, stared at the ssage with his eyes wide, anger rising within him.
Damn man! It was one thing to steal Professor Qiao away, but trying to usurp his place as the caretaker was unforgivable!
Pei Yao was very angry, but he was helpless because Li Hanzhou was now the official partner, while he could only be Professor Qiao’s most loyal servant.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Pei Yao let it go.
Then, he typed furiously: [There will be a surprise at tomorrow’s academic promotion banquet, Boss, you can look forward to it.]
Qiao Yun glanced at it, didn’t take it to heart, put down her phone, and went to wash up.
…
The next day.
The Lu Family took Qiao Yun’s academic promotion banquet very seriously as this was the first major banquet they were hosting for her since she returned to the Lu Family, to show everyone how much they valued her.
They chose Shangjing City’s most famous hotel as the venue for the banquet. Initially, it was difficult to book due to the short notice, but sohow they managed to secure a reservation unexpectedly.
The Lu Family clan thought it was just good luck, completely oblivious to the fact that the hotel was part of Qiao Yun’s assets, where getting what she wanted was just a matter of speaking up.
