Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Lu Zhanxing Successfully KO’ed

After they entered the private room.

Shen Qi took the lead, grasping Lu Zhanxing’s hand with great enthusiasm as he said, “Hello, I’m Shen Qi from the Shen Family in Shangjing, we have met once before.”

“Yes, I remember, Shen Shao, long time no see.” Lu Zhanxing was almost scared by Shen Qi’s enthusiasm.

Many people in the Shen Family are national research talents, and such a family that serves the country always commands respect.

Moreover, the Shen Family’s strength was even slightly greater than that of the Lu Family.

Shen Qi waved his hand and said, “What Shen Shao, just call me by my name. You’re Professor Qiao’s brother, so you’re my brother too. If there’s anything you need, feel free to reach out to me.”

Lu Zhanxing raised an eyebrow and smiled knowingly, “You’re too kind.”

So he knew his sister’s identity.

“Don’t be a stranger, we should keep in touch more often.”

As Professor Qiao’s brother, establishing a good relationship now would be helpful in the future. Shen Qi wanted to ramble on,

but as soon as he saw Li Hanzhou’s smile that was not quite a smile, he immediately fell silent and obediently sat down.

Lu Zhanxing picked up his teacup and took a sip, concealing his scrutinizing glance towards Li Hanzhou.

Li Hanzhou seemed not to notice his gaze, and with a face of calm composure, he lifted the corner of his mouth, “Second Brother, hello.”

Lu Zhanxing: “Pfft…”

Shen Qi: “Pfft…”

“Cough cough cough…”

A heart-rending cough sounded out simultaneously.

Shen Qi had a shocked expression on his face.

Qiao Yun stepped forward, gently patting Lu Zhanxing’s back, asking with some concern, “Are you alright?”

“No, I’m fine…” Lu Zhanxing pulled out a tissue and wiped his mouth, “Li Ye, that joke went too far.”

Li Hanzhou, cradling his chin lazily, turned to Qiao Yun, “The little girl and I have a not-so-shallow relationship. Her brother is my brother.”

A not-so-shallow relationship… That choice of words was intriguing!

Lu Zhanxing wondered, was this a challenge or intentional?

Either way, he was successfully frightened.

“That’s not right, Second Brother is younger than you. By age, Second Brother is the younger brother.” Qiao Yun hadn’t thought too much about it; she was merely stating the facts.

“Alright, then he’s the younger brother.” Li Hanzhou agreed, his lips curving up happily.

Lu Zhanxing: “…”

Sister, why are you bending your elbow outwards? Suddenly I’ve become the younger brother.

Lu Zhanxing felt like he had been KO’d.

But what worried him more was that Li Hanzhou seemed to really have some ulterior motives.

He retracted his testing foot and started ordering the food.

The restaurant offered both hotpot and barbecue, so he ordered both.

Qiao Yun prepared a dipping sauce for everyone and then grabbed the tongs, ready to grill the meat.

Shen Qi’s eyes were wide open, his gaze fixed on Qiao Yun’s fair and plump fingers.

How could such hands that do research cook!!

It was simply a waste of talent!

It didn’t seem like Professor Qiao knew how to cook; was she trying it out just for fun?

Shen Qi secretly thought, even if the meat were overcooked, he would have to swallow it. What Professor Qiao grilled wasn’t just meat, it was a highly valuable experimental process!

Lu Zhanxing watched Qiao Yun earnestly, asking her, “Sister, are you going to grill for your brother to eat?”

“Sure.” Qiao Yun did not refuse.

Li Hanzhou, sensing an opportunity, casually picked up a plate of pork belly, “I want to eat this.”

“Oh.” Qiao Yun naturally grabbed the pork belly and placed it on the grill.

Brushing it with oil, sprinkling on some seasonings, the fragrance immediately wafted up.

Lu Zhanxing watched the scene, somewhat surprised. His sister’s aloofness seemed to fade quite a bit in front of Li Hanzhou.

Just then, his phone rang; it was a video call from Lu Jingzhi.

Lu Zhanxing had intended to answer, but thinking of Li Hanzhou also being there, he hung up.

The elder brother had reservations about his sister making friends with Li Hanzhou; if he knew he was eating with Li Hanzhou, he would definitely reprimand him.@@novelbin@@
