Chapter 278: Li Yan Who Doesn’t Like Sweet Food
When Chu Luo and Qin Ming went out, it was still Zhao He who sent them off.
As soon as he reached the door, Zhao He stopped.
After walking out of the Qin residence, Chu Luo immediately saw the familiar car parked outside the gate.
The car door opened at the same time, revealing Li Yan’s handsome and cold face.
“Luoluo, get in the car.”
Chu Luo walked over and got into the car. She looked at him in his suit and asked, “Why are you here?”
“I was worried about you.”
After Li Yan finished speaking, he lifted his hand to unbutton his shirt, unable to block his murderous aura.
“I was held back by the trouble created by the Qin family this afternoon.”
Otherwise, he would have come personally. He wanted to see what Old Master Qin wanted to do to his woman.
Chu Luo raised her hand and grabbed his large hand. She pulled it over and held it with both hands. “Don’t worry. The Qin family can’t hurt me.”
After saying that, she told him about her conversation with Old Master Qin.
When Li Yan heard this, he grabbed her hand and kissed it. “That’s good too. Once the Qin family finds out about your ability, they definitely won’t dare to act rashly against you.”
“Mm.” Chu Luo nodded. She suddenly thought of something and edged closer to Li Yan. She propped herself up and whispered into his ear, “Do you think the Qin family will find an expert to collect my soul?”
When Li Yan heard this, a sharp glint flashed across his eyes. He raised the barrier between them and wrapped his arm around her waist. His voice was murderous. “How dare they!”
Chu Luo quickly patted his chest. “Don’t be angry. The so-called experts in this world don’t have much ability at all. Moreover, I’m not an ordinary person who returned from the dead.”
Li Yan tilted his head to look at her.
Chu Luo told him, “This body has high compatibility with my soul. When I entered it, the original Chu Luo’s soul didn’t exist at all anymore. So this body is mine in this world.”
After saying that, she pointed at her face smugly. “Didn’t you notice? I don’t look like Chu Luo at all.”
Li Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at her beautiful face. “Do you look like yourself now?”
“Yes.”
Chu Luo had just nodded when Li Yan tilted his head and kissed her on the lips.
Chu Luo suddenly blushed and pushed him in dissatisfaction.
Li Yan looked at her shy expression and swallowed. He wanted to kiss her again.
At this moment, there was a rumbling sound.
Chu Luo covered her stomach and looked at him pitifully. “I’m hungry.”
Li Yan then put away his thoughts and handed her a thermos flask.
“Have some snacks first. Let’s go back and eat.”
“Have you eaten?” Just as Chu Luo finished asking, she said affirmatively, “You must have not eaten either.”
She then opened the thermos box and saw that there was an osmanthus cake and a lotus seed cake inside. She picked up a piece of lotus seed cake with her chopsticks and handed it to Li Yan.
“Yan, open your mouth.”
“No,” Li Yan replied bluntly.
Chu Luo looked at his pursed lips and took a bite of the pastry. Her eyes darted around. When she was halfway through with the pastry, she raised her chopsticks to his mouth and said seriously, “It’s not sweet. I’ve tried it.”
Li Yan looked at the bite mark and lowered his head to eat the pastry.
After eating, he looked at her and said with a straight face, “Sweet.”
The corners of Chu Luo’s lips curled up. She said with a smile, “Why do you dislike sweet food so much? Sweet food is very delicious.”
After saying that, she picked up another piece and bit into it before continuing, “Eating sweet food can make people happy.”
Li Yan looked at her lips and didn’t answer.
Chu Luo ate two pieces in a row and fed him a piece of pastry.
This time, Li Yan opened his mouth but frowned after eating.
Chu Luo was amused by his expression. She raised her finger and tapped his thin lips.
In the next second, a large hand covered the back of her head and his lips pressed closer…
By the time the car drove back to Imperial Sky Park, Chu Luo’s lips were a little red and swollen.
She was a little embarrassed and put on a mask. Then, before Li Yan’s spurious smile, she walked into the villa first.
Seeing the two of them return, the butler quickly came up to them and said, “Master, Miss Chu, dinner is ready.”
The two of them had just walked in and sat at the dining table when Chu Luo received a call from Professor Wu.
Chu Luo quickly picked up the phone. Indeed, Professor Wu asked, “Little Chu, are you home?”
Chu Luo replied, “I’m already home.”
Professor Wu heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s good that you’re home.”
Then, the two of them spoke for a while before hanging up.
After dinner, Li Yan picked up a call and said to her, “The herbs you wanted will arrive tomorrow.”
Chu Luo nodded happily and went to the laboratory at the back.
She went over and told Elder Hu about this.
Elder Hu was a little surprised. “Little Chu, why did you ask CEO Li to buy so many nourishing herbs?”
“Hehe,” Chu Luo said seriously. “CEO Li said that he rewards his employees.”
When Elder Hu heard this, he sighed and said, “As expected of the CEO of the largest corporation in the world. The benefits given to employees are indeed different.”
Chu Luo nodded repeatedly.
Then, she told Elder Hu where to plant the herbs. After saying that, she even emphasized, “Grandpa Hu, you must make sure to plant them at the places I mentioned. Those places are good and can speed up the growth of our herbs.”
Old Hu scolded jokingly, “How can a child be so superstitious? Medicinal herbs only complement and counter each other. How can there be ideal positions to plant them?”
“Grandpa Hu, believe me. You won’t go wrong with that.”
Elder Hu liked the serious and studious Chu Luo more and more. He treated her as his granddaughter and said with a smile, “Okay, okay, okay. We’ll do as you say.”
Chu Luo was satisfied.
The next Saturday, Chu Luo went to the military hospital with Professor Tang after breakfast.
Chu Luo had followed Professor Tang to see Old Master Sun’s condition last night. This time, the tubes on the old man had been removed, and he looked much better.
The people from the Sun family were probably all soldiers. Their family was very energetic.
Everyone from the Sun family was here today.
First Madam had seen Chu Luo before. When she saw Chu Luo come in, she smiled and said, “Little Chu, you’re here. My old master has asked for you a few times this week. He’s been waiting for you.”
Chu Luo pursed her lips and smiled. At this moment, she heard Old Master Sun calling her name.
Chu Luo walked over.
“Old Master Sun.”
Old Master Sun held her hand and wanted to say something, but he couldn’t say anything at the moment. He looked a little anxious.
Chu Luo said to him, “Don’t be agitated. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to your recovery.”
Old Master Sun nodded and said a few more words before falling silent.
Second Madam Sun, who was standing at the side, couldn’t help but say:
“Why is Father so excited to see Chu Luo every time?”
Third Madam Sun guessed, “It’s possible that Chu Luo looks a lot like Daddy’s old friend.”
These words made everyone look at Chu Luo.
Chu Luo shook her head. “I don’t know anything.”
After saying that, she looked at Old Master Sun. Actually, she agreed with Third Madam Sun a little, but she didn’t mind.
In this world, she didn’t care about anything related to the original Chu Luo.
After Old Master Sun was discharged, the hospital director and a few higher-ups came.
During this period, the masters of the Sun family and the young people even received many calls. It was obvious that some people wanted to visit Old Master Sun, but they were all rejected.
Professor Tang chatted with the dean and the others for a while before coming over to Chu Luo. “Little Chu, we discussed it just now. I’ll go to Old Master Sun’s house with you later. We’ll do the regular checkup for Old Master Sun.”
Chu Luo nodded. “Okay.”
After settling the discharge procedures for Old Master Sun, Chu Luo and Professor Tang followed him to the Sun residence.
The Sun residence was also big, but it wasn’t as magnificent as the Qin residence and the Duanmu residence. The buildings were plain.
The small building that Old Master Sun lived in was a small building that had been left behind from the last century.
After settling Old Master Sun down, Chu Luo, Professor Tang, and the Sun family discussed what to do to best facilitate Old Master Sun’s recovery.
After the discussion, it was lunchtime.
The Sun family enthusiastically invited Chu Luo and Professor Tang to eat with them.
However, just as they started to eat, Eldest and Second Madam, who had gone to serve Old Master Sun’s meal, walked out with helpless expressions and said, “Father doesn’t want to eat. He seems to be looking for Chu Luo.”
Everyone looked at Chu Luo with pleading eyes.
Chu Luo nodded and stood up. “I’ll go take a look.”
“Thank you, Little Chu.”
First Madam brought Chu Luo to where Old Master Sun was. “Father, Little Chu is here.”
Old Master Sun looked at her.
Chu Luo picked up the bowl of porridge and walked over to sit in front of him. She fed him a spoonful and said sternly, “Old Master Sun, you need to ingest nutrients to recover quickly. You can’t not eat just because you’re stubborn.”
Old Master Sun laughed.
Chu Luo thought for a while and said, “How about this? I’ll prescribe you some Chinese medicine in a few days so that you can recover your speech earlier.”
“Ahhh…” Old Master Sun nodded quickly.
“But you have to stay calm while recuperating.”
“Mm, mm.”
Chu Luo fed him as she instructed him.
Old Master Sun was especially cooperative.
First Madam watched for a while before quietly retreating. She thought to herself, ‘This young lady is really a formidable child. To think she made my grumpy old master so obedient.’
“Auntie.”
First Madam was shocked. “Ouch… you brat, why are you standing by the door? Are you trying to scare me to death?”
Sun Tianhao gave First Madam a fawning smile. “Auntie, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
