Chapter 17: Blind Dates, Are Your Family In a Hurry?
As Lu Yunzheng approached, he saw her slightly pale and haggard face, his eyes instantly darkened, “Are you feeling unwell?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Qianyun subconsciously touched her face, “Is it that obvious?”
“Yeah, you look a bit haggard.” Lu Yunzheng said calmly.
Seeing him say that, Luo Qianyun couldn’t help but frown slightly, “Then wouldn’t I look ugly?”
Ugly?
Lu Yunzheng felt that Luo Qianyun must have some misunderstanding about her own appearance.
Even if she was pale and haggard, it would only add a touch of fragile beauty, making her even more likely to evoke pity.
“Not ugly.” Lu Yunzheng looked at her intently.
It was Luo Qianyun, on the other hand, who felt a little embarrassed, turning her eyes away in a flustered manner, “You… when did you get here?”
As soon as she asked, she felt that with her relationship with him, it was a bit strange to ask that, so she added, “I just found it quite coincidental, running into you like this.”
“Is your leg healed?” Lu Yunzheng was a little curious. After all, he had seen Luo Qianyun’s leg injury before, and it shouldn’t be completely healed in such a short time.
But there was no wheelchair, not even a crutch, by her side.
Hearing him mention her leg, Luo Qianyun belatedly felt the pain, quickly sitting back down on the bench, “Why don’t we just sit down and talk? My leg hurts standing.”
With a hum, Lu Yunzheng sat down beside Luo Qianyun, his gaze sweeping over her bandaged arm without a trace.
“How come you get injured more often than me.” Lu Yunzheng said in a low voice.
This was a question Luo Qianyun really couldn’t answer…
She didn’t want to, but who could blame her for being unlucky?
“It’s probably my retribution.” Luo Qianyun said self-deprecatingly.
In her previous life, she must have been a wicked person, otherwise, she wouldn’t be so unlucky in this life.
It must be said that Lu Yunzheng really spoke little. If it wasn’t for his rather strong presence, Luo Qianyun would have suspected that she was sitting alone.
“Do you have a mission here?” Luo Qianyun asked curiously.
“A bit of private business.” Lu Yunzheng.
Just when Luo Qianyun was thinking about finding some more topics to avoid awkwardness between them, a dark-skinned man ran over, “Captain, I thought you were gone, why are you sitting alone… not alone?”
Seeing Luo Qianyun, who was completely hidden by Lu Yunzheng’s physique, Lao Chen was also surprised.
When he saw Luo Qianyun’s face, he seemed to have a realization, “That… are you surnamed Luo?”
“You know me?” Luo Qianyun was also surprised.
Seeing that he hadn’t mistaken the person, Lao Chen was so excited, “I know you, I don’t know you, my name is Lao Chen, I was on a mission with Captain Lu before. But our car was behind you, so I didn’t see you. Originally, I was going to go to the hospital to visit you, but they…”
“Lao Chen.” Lu Yunzheng interrupted the rambling Lao Chen, “Do you have something else to do?”
Such an obvious way of chasing someone away, Luo Qianyun understood, Lao Chen understood even more.
“Ah, yes, yes, yes… I have to, what, I made an appointment with a friend for dinner. Then, sister-in-law, I’ll go first, we’ll chat next time…” As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Chen slipped away faster than a rabbit.
Luo Qianyun was a bit dumbfounded, sister-in-law…
Meeting Luo Qianyun’s gaze, Lu Yunzheng said solemnly, “Lao Chen never speaks properly, don’t mind him.”
Then, he looked at Luo Qianyun, “Have you eaten?”
At this time, people usually have already eaten, but Luo Qianyun was in an unusual situation.
So, she shook her head.
Lu Yunzheng just didn’t know what to say, he casually asked ‘have you eaten’, who knew that Luo Qianyun hadn’t even had lunch, and it was already past three in the afternoon.
Forget about lunch, many people have even had afternoon tea.
He knew that something must have happened to Luo Qianyun, but because they had only met twice, there were many things he couldn’t ask.
Immediately, he decided to take her to eat first.
Soon, the two of them took a taxi to the door of a private kitchen, “The food here is pretty good.”
“It’s really good, I’ve tried it before, but… did you make a reservation?” Luo Qianyun couldn’t help but say, she was worried that Lu Yunzheng didn’t know that this private kitchen required a reservation.
After all, she remembered that Lu Yunzheng was not from A City, he was from Shangjing…
Seeing Luo Qianyun’s concern, Lu Yunzheng explained, “This is a chain store, the owner is my friend, so I don’t need to make a reservation.”
However, when he was going up the steps, seeing Luo Qianyun frown, Lu Yunzheng couldn’t help but say, “Your leg can’t walk like that…”
In the end, he still couldn’t let it go, with a “Excuse me”, he directly carried Luo Qianyun horizontally.
He carried her easily, but scared Luo Qianyun.
Lu Yunzheng looked down to see her slightly flushed face and slightly wandering eyes.
“Captain Lu, can I ask you a question?” Luo Qianyun said softly.
Knowing that she wanted to divert some attention, Lu Yunzheng cooperated, “You can ask, but I may not answer.”
This answer was indeed a bit unexpected, but Luo Qianyun also thought of what the girl on the blind date said, “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t ask about your mission, those are all confidential, I understand.”
Hearing this, Lu Yunzheng hummed softly, “Then ask.”
“How old are you this year? Your family… are they in a hurry?” Luo Qianyun asked curiously.
Lu Yunzheng carried Luo Qianyun steadily up the steps, and when they reached the door, the manager, upon seeing Lu Yunzheng’s face, had already walked over quickly.
However, just as he was about to speak, Lu Yunzheng gave him a look, and he shut up… obediently leading them to the private room.
“I’m 27 this year.” But for Luo Qianyun’s second question, Lu Yunzheng didn’t understand, “What are my family in a hurry for?”
Luo Qianyun said tactfully, “It’s just blind dates…”
She didn’t mention that she had just seen him fail his blind date, what if he felt embarrassed?
Blind dates?
Lu Yunzheng recalled his mother’s phone call before, and she did mention blind dates in the call.
Immediately, he nodded affirmatively, “They are indeed a bit anxious, but I’m not interested in these.”
“I understand.” Luo Qianyun felt that she couldn’t expose him anymore, it seemed that Lu Yunzheng was a person with a strong sense of self-esteem.
Seeing that Luo Qianyun didn’t speak, Lu Yunzheng became even more confused, “So why are you asking this… what?”
“Actually, I was also forced to go on blind dates before.” Luo Qianyun said.
However, Lu Yunzheng frowned at her words, “You’re only 23, you’ve been dating your boyfriend for 3 years. So when did you go on blind dates?”
Luo Qianyun didn’t expect that Lu Yunzheng knew her situation so well, “My situation is a bit complicated, actually, my dad has been planning to introduce me to blind dates since I came of age. As for my ex-boyfriend, in the first year of our relationship, my dad still planned to introduce me to someone more suitable for me.”
Coming of age and going on blind dates, Lu Yunzheng was truly surprised.
“So you were dating him, did you use him as a shield?” Lu Yunzheng.
Being exposed for her little secret, Luo Qianyun was not surprised, after all, Lu Yunzheng didn’t look like someone who was easy to fool.
Unlike Lu Yan, who believed everything.
