Chapter 151: Lining Up for a Face-to-Face Meeting

As soon as they stepped out, Lu Rang noticed them.

He walked over and took the suitcase from Lu Jingchen’s hand.

“Master, Miss Qin.” He bowed slightly in greeting, following beside Lu Jingchen, speaking cautiously.

“Are you returning to the other side this time, or staying at the villa?”

He arrived in F Country three days earlier, went back to their base, and then checked out Lu Jingchen’s villa here, arranging some things, keeping busy for two days.

Lu Jingchen turned his head and glanced at the person beside him.

“Stay at the hotel or go to my place?”

Qin Ruyan’s hand, which was typing a message, paused. She lifted her eyes and glanced at Lu Jingchen.

“Let’s go to the hotel, Yaoyao and the others are waiting for me at the hotel.”

She wasn’t surprised that Lu Jingchen had property here. She had found out earlier that Lu Jingchen had influence in both F Country and H Country.

He even knew her adoptive father.

Thinking of the promise she made to Yi Tianxing, Qin Ruyan pursed her lips.

“I’ll take you to a place tomorrow.”

Beside her, Lu Jingchen was just about to open the car door when he heard her words. His movements froze for a moment, he turned his head, his eyes deep, filled with confusion, looking at her in surprise.

“You have friends here?”

Seeing his slightly stiff expression, Qin Ruyan put away her phone and took two steps forward, getting into the car.

“Not really, it’s an elder. He’s been curious about you for a while.”

She was telling the truth. Yi Tianxing had been wanting to see the scene where Lu Jingchen found out he was her adoptive father.

Lu Jingchen followed and sat next to her, reaching out to take the scarf from her hand and put it aside.

“Alright, I’m here to accompany you anyway, wherever you say, we’ll go.”

In front.

The driver, Lu Rang, was expressionless, but his heart was wailing.

He finally went back to the base once, and now he’s ignoring them again, spending all his time with Miss Qin. Does it mean they, this group of people, don’t need love?

Money is hard to earn, and shit is hard to eat.

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart, glanced in the rearview mirror, just in time to meet Lu Jingchen’s gaze.

He hurriedly withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, adjusted his emotions, and started the car.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the hotel entrance.

As soon as they got out of the car, Lu Jingchen sent Lu Rang away. “I won’t be going there this time. You go back and handle everything, when I’m done here and ready to return to the capital, contact you again.”

Lu Rang responded, then he watched his master push the suitcase with one hand, while lowering his head and talking to Miss Qin.

Why is he here?

Inside the hotel.

After checking in, they went back to their room.

Qin Ruyan entered the room and took off her coat, leaving only a thin fleece sweater on, her slender waistline visible as she moved. Lu Jingchen narrowed his eyes slightly, before he could reach out to embrace her, there was a knock on the door.

He frowned in displeasure, turned around and opened the door.

Zhang Qiyao and Zhou Ying had been here for a few days. They weren’t very familiar with the place, especially since Qin Ruyan had specifically told them to try not to leave the vicinity of the hotel, so they hadn’t gone out much.

Just now, the two of them were in the room, playing a couple of games and feeling bored, when they received a WeChat message from Qin Ruyan.

She exchanged glances with Zhou Ying, immediately put away their phones, and came out of the room.

Qin Ruyan had sent them the room number.

Lu Jingchen opened the door and saw the two standing in front of him. He thought that even if he couldn’t eat meat today, he could at least have some soup.

Zhang Qiyao didn’t expect her brother to be the one who opened the door. She paused, her smile fading.

“Brother, where’s my sister-in-law?”

Zhou Ying had met Lu Jingchen once before, this was their second encounter, and she felt inexplicably intimidated by him.

When she stood with her Smoke Sister, she exuded a gentle aura, but when she stood with anyone else, she felt like a cold refrigerator.

She unconsciously took a step back, instinctively wanting to protect herself.

Qin Ruyan heard the commotion at the door and came out. She glanced at the people standing at the entrance and nudged Lu Jingchen’s back.

“Move aside, I’ll go chat with them in their room.”

Lu Jingchen was very particular about his personal space.

Their room, apart from the cleaning lady who came at fixed times, no one else was allowed to enter. Let alone staying in a hotel, he wouldn’t let these two in for anything.

Lu Jingchen turned his head and looked at her. He didn’t say anything, but Qin Ruyan felt inexplicably nervous.

“I’ll be back soon.”

As soon as the words left her lips, the man’s expression softened. He moved aside, making way for her.

Zhang Qiyao swallowed hard. She finally understood why her brother had been so kind to Smoke when she first returned to China, giving her extra allowance and even buying her a car. He had been eyeing her best friend all along!

The most infuriating thing was that after he got her, he took back the car he had given her. He was so cunning and deceitful! She had to tell Smoke bad things about him!

Lu Jingchen watched the figures leaving the room, a silent smile playing on his lips.

Inside the room, Zhang Qiyao pulled Qin Ruyan to sit on the bed.

“Smoke, is my brother good to you?”

Her brother was so fierce, how could any girl stand him?

Qin Ruyan found it amusing. Why did Lu Jingchen seem to be disliked by his family?

“He’s pretty good.”

She didn’t say much, just a casual response.

“Have you two been comfortable here these past few days? The event is in two days.”

Zhou Ying nodded, a little excited.

“Smoke, do you think I’ll have a chance to see my idol tomorrow? I heard that Jennifer, although she declined the judge position, will be a guest presenter!”

Qin Ruyan was taken aback. She hadn’t heard about this. She hadn’t asked, because she wasn’t sure if she would win the award, and she didn’t want to invite her teacher to see her if she didn’t.

“I’m not sure, but you should be able to see her.”

After thinking for a moment, she added, “If you don’t see her at the event, I’ll make an appointment with my teacher after it’s over and take you to meet her.”

Zhou Ying had been in charge of the studio’s affairs from the beginning, and she always felt a little guilty. Zhou Ying had done all the things that should have been her responsibility.

It wasn’t difficult for her to arrange a meeting with her teacher. Thinking about it, she felt a headache coming on.

She had come back for a visit, and so many people needed to be seen. Her teacher, her adoptive father, her master, oh, and there was also BL waiting in line.

She couldn’t possibly meet everyone, so she could only schedule BL for another time.

Zhou Ying happily nodded, her eyes sparkling with joy.

“I have something to do tomorrow and won’t be able to take you out. If you want to go out, I’ll find someone to drive you? It’s a bit chaotic here, and I’m not comfortable with you going out alone.”

Anyway, Lu Rang was Lu Jingchen’s man, and in F country, no one dared to mess with him.

Her adoptive father was also a man who had seen his fair share of blood and violence. Qin Ruyan was afraid that his bloody aura would scare these two.

Worried that they would be bored staying in the hotel all the time, she asked for their opinions.
