C96 The Elder Sister Is Here!!

Suddenly, Lau Qingyue came into their view.

Zhang Chen's eyes widened, a surge of excitement rising in his heart.

Fourth Sister was back!

Han Qiqi was taken aback.

At first glance, Lau Qingyue struck her as breathtakingly stunning.

She radiated grace and beauty.

Her looks were city-toppling, her figure statuesque!

Han Qiqi's eyes grew wide, filled with a glow of envy.

Never before had she seen such a beauty!

In that instant, her confidence wavered.

Zhang Chen gave Han Qiqi a playful look and chuckled, "Weren't you eager to measure up against her? Go on, then."

Han Qiqi paused, her eyes clouded with bewilderment.

Lau Qingyue lifted her head and suddenly realized that Zhang Chen was clad in nothing but a towel!

And there was a woman standing next to him!

Lau Qingyue's brows knit together as she asked with urgency, "Little brother, what are you two up to?"

Little brother?

Hearing this, Han Qiqi was utterly astounded!

She looked up, her gaze darting between Lau Qingyue and Zhang Chen in disbelief.

Han Qiqi was speechless, her mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.

The self-assurance she had nurtured over the years crumbled in that moment.

Zhang Chen explained with a hint of resignation, "She wouldn't take no for an answer and has been hounding me all day. Fourth Sister, I need you to intervene; she's become unbearable!"

Somehow, he felt a sense of relief, as if he had found a pillar of support.

Lau Qingyue's frown deepened as she asked icily, "Are you harassing my brother?"

It was only then that Han Qiqi snapped back to reality, her voice tinged with anxiety, "I wasn't harassing him. I just needed his help..."

Her tone betrayed a touch of hurt.

Confronted with Lau Qingyue's exceptional presence, she felt a wave of inferiority and guilt wash over her.

Yet, after speaking, she gathered her wits and feigned defiance.

Lau Qingyue gave her a piercing look and asked coolly, "Are you Han Tianhua's daughter?"

At those words, Han Qiqi was taken aback!

Zhang Chen was equally surprised.

Who was Han Tianhua? Could he possibly be Han Qiqi's father?

Han Qiqi asked in shock, "You know my dad?"

What really stunned her was Lau Qingyue's tone of voice!

It was as though she couldn't care less about Qiqi's background.

After a moment of contemplation, Lau Qingyue murmured, "You can hang around my little brother all you want, just don't get in the way of his business, understand?"

What was she talking about?

Zhang Chen was on the verge of tears, his eyes brimming with helplessness.

Han Qiqi instinctively responded, "Understood."

Her previously defiant demeanor was swiftly subdued by Lau Qingyue.

Lau Qingyue's expression softened as she set down her purse and took a seat next to Zhang Chen.

With a smile, she teased, "Stinky brat, did you miss me?"

Her allure was back in full force.

Zhang Chen was utterly baffled. Was Han Qiqi's issue really resolved just like that?

Who in the world was Han Qiqi?

Eventually, Zhang Chen replied with a grin, "Of course I missed you. Why haven't you been home in days?"

Lau Qingyue's face lit up with satisfaction as she explained, somewhat reluctantly, "I've been swamped with work. It's me who's made time to be here with you. I'm probably going to be even busier in the next few days."

Zhang Chen nodded, his own reluctance evident.

He was dying to know what kept Lau Qingyue so busy, yet he couldn't bring himself to ask.

If she knew his thoughts, it would only add to his burden.

Han Qiqi stood to the side, feeling awkward and suddenly overwhelmed with a sense of nervousness, not knowing what to do.

Lau Qingyue gave her a glance and asked softly, "Are you staying over tonight?"

Han Qiqi replied, feeling embarrassed, "That was the plan. I wanted to give my dad a piece of my mind..."

Lau Qingyue nodded, "Go freshen up. My brother needs to get some rest."

Han Qiqi was taken aback, not expecting Lau Qingyue to be so agreeable.

She nodded and headed straight for the bathroom.

Her confidence had waned, but now she had a new focus.

In the living room, only Lau Qingyue and Zhang Chen remained.

Filled with curiosity, Zhang Chen inquired, "Fourth Sister, who exactly is she? How do you know her?"

He recalled that Lau Qingyue had previously suggested he spend more time with Han Qiqi.

Lau Qingyue gave a flirtatious smile and said, "You'll find out soon enough. She's someone who can accelerate your progress."

Zhang Chen held back further questions, though curiosity was piqued within him.

Lau Qingyue deftly shifted the conversation, playfully teasing Zhang Chen.

As he was about to reach his limit, the bathroom door creaked open.

Han Qiqi emerged, swathed in a bath towel.

Zhang Chen glanced up and was momentarily taken aback.

Despite her youth, Han Qiqi's figure was remarkably well-developed.

She truly resembled an adorable loli.

Her vibrant hair was now neatly coiled atop her head, secured with a towel.

Stripped of her heavy makeup, Han Qiqi's natural beauty had clearly ascended a couple of notches!

Her large eyes sparkled as if they could speak for themselves.

And those two faint dimples on her cheeks were utterly captivating!

Zhang Chen was astounded; he had never imagined Han Qiqi could be so stunning bare-faced!

It's no wonder she carried herself with such confidence!

But before he could dwell on it, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his waist!

Zhang Chen gasped, the pain contorting his features.

Lau Qingyue's voice, laced with discontent, rang out, "Am I not as beautiful as her, or is it my figure that doesn't measure up? Why haven't I ever caught you looking at me with that same gaze?"

Her tone was unmistakably tinged with jealousy.
