Chapter 1270: Chapter 1270: There Is No Banquet That Doesn’t End
That day, Tian Luoqiao arrived at the school and saw Emma and Steven talking to Yusuf not far from the laboratory building.
Upon seeing Luo Qiao, Emma ran over with a smile: “Qiaoqiao, Yusuf ca to look for you. He wants to take you out for a al.”
Luo Qiao frowned: “Take out for a al, why?”
Emma then laughed: “Yusuf lost to you in the boxing match last ti, but he admires you a lot. He’s a good guy, and not many people get a dinner invitation from him.”
Luo Qiao replied indifferently: “But I don’t want to have dinner with a man I don’t know. I’m a married woman.”
Upon hearing Luo Qiao’s words, Emma couldn’t help but laugh: “What are you thinking? Yusuf’s invitation isn’t what you’re imagining. He simply admires you and wants to be friends.”
Seeing Luo Qiao’s skeptical look, Emma continued: “I’m serious, I promise.”
At this ti, Yusuf and Steven also walked over, with Steven greeting Luo Qiao with a smile: “Hi, Luo, this is Yusuf. You know him.”
Luo Qiao nodded slightly: “Hello, Yusuf.”
Yusuf said with a smile: “Hi, Luo, I went to Italy before the New Year and have only just co back now. I wanted to invite you for a al. You’re aweso, and I really admire you, just want to be friends with you.”
After thinking it over, Luo Qiao figured that direct refusal might seem ungracious, since Yusuf had spoken up for her before. So she said: “Let’s make it a group of four then, since I’m married, I wouldn’t want any misunderstandings.”
Yusuf laughed: “Your husband is really lucky to have found such an outstanding, beautiful, and self-disciplined wife like you.”
Luo Qiao laughed: “Right, I think so too.”
The four of them exchanged smiles, creating a strangely pleasant atmosphere.
That’s just how people are, sotis a mont, a sentence, a gesture can generate a good impression, fostering a lifelong friendship.
Having agreed on the plans, everyone went their separate ways, agreeing to et for lunch at noon.
In the morning, Luo Qiao was busy in the lab. She had long put past honors behind her, pouring her heart and soul into a new project. She wanted to achieve results before returning to China and take them back with her.
It was now early September, and in order to produce results before the Spring Festival, it was necessary to accelerate the project’s progress. This year’s festival was early, so she didn’t have much ti left, which is why she had been working extra hard recently.
If she got too tired, she would attend classes at the business school, where she also needed to start writing her thesis. The business school would hold thesis defenses at the end of December, aning the upcoming months would be busy, busy, busy for her.
At noon, when she finished her experints and ca out, Emma said: “Luo, thinking about you leaving at the end of the year, I really hate to see you go.”
Luo Qiao also expressed her sentints: “There are many beautiful mories here, and it is a bit hard to leave, but all good things must co to an end.”
After thinking for a mont, she continued: “In the future, if you have ti, you can co to study and exchange culture in China, or simply visit for travel. Of course, we’d welco your family’s investnt in China even more. In short, we will welco all good things.”
Emma responded: “Okay, I will co to visit you in China.”
Steven, who was standing nearby and listening, shook his head with a smile: “You’re still months away from parting, isn’t it a bit early to talk about this?”
Emma put her arm around Luo Qiao’s shoulder: “But I really hate the thought of her leaving.”
Then looking at Luo Qiao: “Luo, can’t you stay? With your talent, I’m sure the professor would be very happy.”
Luo Qiao shook her head with a smile: “Sorry, but I love my country, my husband, and my family. I hope to finish my studies and return to serve my country.”
Emma looked sowhat disappointed but nodded: “Sorry, I was being selfish.”
Luo Qiao gave Emma a hug: “We can always call each other, and you can visit China. If I get a chance, I can also co here. True friendship won’t fade because of distance.”
Emma smiled brightly: “Okay, it’s a promise.”
Then the three of them walked out laughing, completely unaware that Yusuf, who was already waiting for them, was standing outside the laboratory building.
He had reserved the restaurant in advance, and when they arrived at the location, Luo Qiao was montarily taken aback.
