C40 Young Master Lu's Passion
A handsome man stood at the table with his hand in his pocket and said to Dan Cheng Hao, "The people upstairs are playing mahjong. They asked me to call you."
Dan Cheng Hao ate with his head lowered and did not say anything. Qiao Lu De sat across from him and after looking at the man who was speaking, he also lowered his head and ate like him.
However, the person who came seemed to not want Qiao Lu De to finish his meal. He bent down slightly and stretched his neck to look at Qiao Lu with a questioning look. He asked Dan Cheng Hao, "Second brother, who is this?"
After he finished asking, he did not wait for Dan Cheng Hao's reply patiently. He thought he knew the answer very well, so he made a long sound and asked Qiao Lu De with a naughty smile, "Are you Second Brother's wife?"
Unsurprisingly, Qiao Lu De spat out the food in his mouth impolitely. Dan Cheng Hao, who was sitting across from him, had also expected this reaction from her. He had already prepared protective measures, so there was not a single rice grain on his body.
Qiao Lu De really sighed about his good fortune. He was always frightened, choked, and was able to live until now. He really had to thank the heavens!
She wiped the corner of her mouth and smiled at the man perfunctorily, saying, "I'm sorry, sir, but my name is Qiao Lu De, not Second Brother's wife!"
The man was slightly surprised, but then he smiled and said, "Aiya, Second Brother's wife, don't be modest. You are already sitting at the same table with our Second Brother. This relationship is not ordinary. You know, I haven't seen him bring any girl to sit down and eat with him."
So what if he was the emperor? What was so strange about eating with him? Qiao Lu's mouth twitched as he muttered in his heart.
Dan Cheng Hao put down his spoon and said to the man, "Alright, Jing Yan, you can go up first. I will go up later."
Lu Jing Yan smiled cunningly. "Then you have to bring your wife with you, don't you?"
Qiao Lu De opened his mouth to explain that he wasn't, but Lu Jingyan grabbed his wrist and pulled him up. Without saying anything, he turned around and left.
Qiao Lu De said a few words and told him to let go. Lu Jingyan did not listen to him and dragged her away. She had no choice but to follow him passively. She turned around and looked at Dan Cheng Hao for help. Seeing the helpless expression on Dan Cheng Hao's face, she could only point to the bag on the table and follow Lu Jingyan.
In a private room, there was a lot of noise. Lu Jingyan pushed open the door and saw seven or eight people surrounding the mahjong table, talking and laughing.
Lu Jingyan shouted at everyone, "Hey, look who I brought here."
His words successfully attracted their attention, but when they turned their heads and saw Qiao Lu De's unfamiliar face, they all looked at Lu Jingyan with doubt.
At this moment, Qiao Lu De shook his hand off and moved his wrist that was hurting from being held. He said to Lu Jing Yan unhappily, "I'm not familiar with you, am I?"
Someone asked, "Young Master Lu, is this your new girl? Not bad!"
"Yes, she's much purer than the one from two days ago. This one looks very pleasing to the eye!"
Lu Jingyan snorted, "Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and apologize to your second sister-in-law!"
"Second sister?" The person asked in surprise, "Are you saying that this beauty is Second Brother Shan's wife?"
"Nonsense!" Lu Jing Yan reprimanded, "When you offend sister-in-law later, let's see how your Second Brother Shan will deal with you!"
When Qiao Lu De heard this exchange, he could not hold it in any longer. Seeing that the man was about to open his mouth and call her sister-in-law, she hurriedly reached out her hand and said, "Hey, take back the two words that you were about to spit out. Don't call anyone sister-in-law indiscriminately. Why are you on the same side as Dan Cheng Lie? Let me tell you, I'm not your sister-in-law. I am just... superior and subordinate relationship with Dan Cheng Hao. You guys have misunderstood!"
These words made the young man opposite her speechless. He opened his mouth wide and stood there in a daze, as if someone had tapped his acupuncture point.
However, Lu Jingyan was a person who did not listen to anything at all. He asked in a gossipy manner:" Hmm? Have you seen our Third Young Master? Have you got along well? Speaking of which, your future uncle is not someone to be trifled with. He didn't cause you any trouble, did he?"
'Can he cause trouble for me?' Qiao Lu De looked at Lu Jing Yan as if he was looking at an alien and asked in confusion, "I say, is your brain circuit different from that of normal people? Are you talking about the Third Young Master? I was clearly explaining that I am not your sister-in-law, wasn't I?"
"Didn't you say you want to play mahjong? Why are you talking about everything here?" At the door, Dan Cheng Hao was holding Qiao Lu De's bag in one hand and the paper bag on the table in the other. From the way he was acting, it seemed as if he was following his wife around for a stroll.
Lu Jingyan smiled apologetically and said, "Aren't I in a hurry to share your good news with everyone? I just wanted to introduce your wife to everyone."
Dan Cheng Hao looked at him and did not say a word. He walked over and took Qiao Lu De's hand to walk towards the mahjong table. He said to her, "Since you're here, let's play a few rounds before leaving."
Hearing his words that could not be refused, Qiao Lu did not want to embarrass him in front of his brothers, so he sat down obediently. Lu Jingyan came over and told everyone to continue, while he sat down in front of Qiao Lu De.
The mahjong tiles clattered under the mahjong table. Dan Cheng Hao leaned close to her ear and asked, "Do you know how to play?"
"Not really." Qiao Lu De asked with uncertainty, "How big do you usually play? I didn't bring much money with me. If my luck is bad and I lose all my money, don't forget to leave me some money to take a taxi home."
Lu Jingyan said, "You don't have to worry about your second brother. Seeing that you are full of energy today, you will definitely make a fortune. You won't lose. Besides, if Second Brother Shan is by your side, it will be difficult for him to lose."
"Young Master Lu, if you don't go to the heavenly bridge to read fortunes, you will be blind," Qiao Lu teased him.
She blushed because Dan Cheng Hao was too close to her! If it was really as he said it was a sign of getting rich, then she would rather give up her old face to hug Dan Cheng Hao's thigh every day!
Dan Cheng Hao laughed at the side and said, "It's fine. You hit it, I'll give you some advice!"
A gentle breath blew on Qiao Lu De's face, as if he could smell the pineapple fragrance. She calmed herself down and deliberately ignored the close distance between the two of them and started to focus on playing mahjong.
Speaking of which, this mahjong was something that Chu Xiao had taught her in the past. When she went to his house for the New Year and the festivities, everyone liked to play a few rounds. She didn't know how to play, nor did she like to watch. Thus, she just sat by the side and watched TV or went to the kitchen to help out when she was bored.
Chu Xiao didn't want to give her the cold shoulder, so he forcefully pulled her hand and made her sit by the side and learn. After a few rounds of learning, he also understood some of the basics and learned some of the basic rules. Now that he was touching these cool cards again, he couldn't help but think of him again.
