Chapter 194: Chapter 194: What do you want me to ask you, Professor Qiao?
Ever since Old Qiao passed away, he hadn’t seen Qiao Yun and had always been very worried about her mental health.
Now, seeing her rosy complexion, it seemed she was doing fairly well.
After greeting Li Hanzhou and Shen Qi, Old Qi started to inquire about Qiao Yun’s recent affairs.
Through the conversation, Old Qi learned that Li Hanzhou often took care of Qiao Yun and was a good friend whom Qiao Yun recognized, so his attitude towards Li Hanzhou was much friendlier.
An onlooker, Shen Qi, thought: This very moment, he was full of regret, deep regret, for not having made his presence felt every day in front of Professor Qiao!
He had now also snapped out of the shock that the sister from the Lu Family was actually Professor Qiao.
If it weren’t for the inappropriate setting, he would’ve been eager to pull Qiao Yun into a deep dive into the ocean of knowledge.
With her fuzzy little head, Qiao Yun answered whatever Old Qi asked, like a well-behaved baby.
Li Hanzhou stared at her hair whorl and felt moved, raising his hand to touch her head.
Qiao Yun just gave him a puzzled look and then looked away.
Old Qi raised his eyebrows meaningfully.
Was Qiao Yun being too indulgent with the young Li lad?
It seemed she really had made a good friend.
Qiao Yun didn’t stay long, even though Old Qi wanted to keep her.
Qiao Yun declined, as Lu Zhanxing was waiting for her downstairs.
Despite his regret, Old Qi let Qiao Yun leave.
“You should come back to see Grandpa often.”
Old Qi was somewhat reluctant to part; he truly cherished Qiao Yun, having watched her grow up after all.
“Okay,” Qiao Yun promised.
“Concerning your family situation, I’ve heard it all from young Pei. If they dare treat you poorly, we won’t stand for it,” Old Qi said with irritation.
“If you want mom and dad to speak up, there’s no shortage of people who want to be your parents. We’re not lacking in parents.”
Qiao Yun: “…”
“They’re very good to me.”
She paused, then added, “Big brother treats me very well.”
“Forget it, let’s not talk about this. You can’t differentiate these things anyway.”
Old Qi knew that Qiao Yun was slow to grasp emotions; he certainly didn’t believe her when she said everything was fine.
Qiao Yun: “…”
She wasn’t a child anymore; she had learned to discern right from wrong.
Only when waiting for the elevator did Shen Qi find the opportunity to speak. Perhaps due to the identity change, he also didn’t dare to speak too casually anymore.
“Grandmaster… no, Professor Qiao, could I ask you a few questions when you’re free?”
Knowing Qiao Yun’s identity, even his voice became softer, a consequence of the intelligence gap.
Qiao Yun nodded: “Sure.”
Shen Qi was deeply touched internally; Professor Qiao was so genuinely kind and beautiful, not at all minding the bother he caused.
Qiao Yun pursed her lips and couldn’t help but ask Li Hanzhou, “Don’t you have anything to ask me?”
“What do you want me to ask you, Professor Qiao?”
A title he’d heard countless times before, when coming from Li Hanzhou’s mouth, seemed to carry a teasing and playful tone.
Shen Qi couldn’t believe it; true to form for someone who could befriend Professor Qiao, Li Hanzhou actually dared to tease Professor Qiao!
Wait a minute…
Li Hanzhou had said he quite liked Qiao Yun.
Holy shit!
Shameless rogue!
Li Hanzhou said, “There’s nothing to ask. Just because you’re Professor Qiao, does that mean we’re not friends?”
“We are friends!” Qiao Yun assured him firmly.
Those who knew her identity were always cautious around her.
Li Hanzhou was not.
Truly a good friend of hers.
“Shall we have a late-night snack together?” Li Hanzhou asked naturally.
“Big brother is waiting for me,” Qiao Yun declined and softly said, “Next time.”
“Sure, next time.”
As they spoke, the elevator door opened, and they stepped in.
At the same time, the adjacent elevator opened as well, and Lu Zhanxing and Qi Sheng walked out.
As they passed the closed elevator door, Lu Zhanxing’s steps faltered.
Was it a trick of the eye?
He thought he saw his own sister.
It must have been a trick of the eye.
