Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 277: Chapter 277 I Only Want Her

Qiao Yun didn’t know what Lu Jingzhi was thinking and told him the truth, “There aren’t any left.”

Zhouzhou was one of a kind, and even if she wanted to give one to Lu Jingzhi, she couldn’t.

She could make another one, but Qiao Yun didn’t want to.

She gave gifts based on what the other person needed, so she gave Zhouzhou to Lu Shiran because he was interested.

And Qiao Yun felt that Lu Jingzhi wasn’t sincerely interested.

Failing to get the gift he asked for, Lu Jingzhi’s face showed embarrassment. It was just a toy; how hard could it be to make another? Yet Qiao Yun wouldn’t give him one.

...

It must be because she had some issues with him.

The first step in trying to close the distance between them was successfully stifled by Qiao Yun.

Lu Jingzhi tactfully didn’t bring up the topic again, but his mood turned inevitably bitter.

Qiao Yun had no issues with Lu Jingzhi. She had a lot to remember and wouldn’t waste her time because of Lu Jingzhi.

Upon returning home, the servants had already prepared dinner.

Su Mian was still out at a social gathering with her friends, and Lu Rui had gone to the office. Now, only Lu Jingzhi and Lu Ting were left at home.

Lu Ting was still struggling with midterm exams, so only Lu Jingzhi and Qiao Yun were at the dining table.

Because of what had happened earlier, Lu Jingzhi hastily finished his dinner and went back to the office.

Qiao Yun didn’t pick up on Lu Jingzhi’s fluctuating emotions and, after finishing dinner, sent a message to Pei Ya.

She informed him about the kidnapping case she discussed with Li Hanzhou today, asking him to pay attention to the Lu Family’s main branch as well.

[Okay, no problem. With me on the job, I can even know how many times she goes to the bathroom in a day.]

Qiao Yun replied, [Still, some privacy should be given.]

Pei Ya: No, you know I was just exaggerating, right? Do you think I’m a peeping Tom?

[Also, copy the safety rules a thousand times.]

Just as Qiao Yun sent this message, Pei Ya’s phone call came chasing after.

“My dear boss, what have I done? Why should I copy it a thousand times?”

Qiao Yun’s face was expressionless, “I was thrown into the sea.”

Pei Ya: “?”

“What!!!? When were you thrown into the sea?”

“Make it two thousand times.”

Professor Qiao’s first failure came with “The Overbearing CEO Falls in Love with Me,” and she refused to tell Pei Ya the truth.

Pei Ya negotiated in a low voice, “Didn’t we agree before that in the future, you’d only penalize me to copy five hundred times?”

Qiao Yun opened her mouth to speak but hadn’t said anything yet.

Sensing what was to come, Pei Ya immediately said, “Okay, a thousand times it is. I got it.”

After disciplining Pei Ya, Qiao Yun felt a wave of relief.

At the Li Family.

The couple from the Li Family believed that their children were grown up and should have their freedom, so they didn’t live there.

They had another place to stay, but they would still come back to spend time with their children on weekends.

Seeing Li Hanzhou returning home, Mrs. Li smiled and said, “Zhouzhou, you’re back.”

Li Hanzhou’s eyelid twitched, “Don’t call me Zhouzhou.”

“Ah, I just blurted it out,” Mrs. Li said she wouldn’t say it again, but in reality, she was likely to slip up next time.

What’s wrong with calling you Zhouzhou? Isn’t it more intimate?

“Your mom is getting on in years; can’t you just humor her a bit?” Mr. Li sided unconditionally with his wife.

Watching his parents so affectionate with each other, Li Hanzhou felt something stir within him and suddenly said, “Don’t set me up with anyone in the future.”

Mrs. Li’s heart skipped a beat, and she looked innocent, “What?”

Li Hanzhou mercilessly exposed her, “Wasn’t it your arrangement that I accidentally got wine spilled on me, stumbled upon someone on the street, and encountered a bad guy harassing a woman?”

Mr. Li was shocked, “Wife, haven’t you been watching too many idol dramas?”

Mrs. Li: Shut up!

Mrs. Li explained, “You’re twenty-four now; my friends are already holding their grandkids, and I’m just anxious.”

“I have someone I like,” Li Hanzhou put away his nonchalant facade, seriously telling them, “I only want her.”
