Chapter 1519: Chapter 886: Triple Combo Chapter_6

"No..." Luo Ye smiled and shook her head. "Just thought of some work stuff. What about you, are you staying and waiting to join the wedding-night fun, or leaving now?"

"Of course I’m staying." Qian Xia grinned, flashing his big white teeth. "Major Luo, thank you for trusting me, for giving me this chance."

"Uh..." Luo Ye glanced at Vice Chairman Qian’s back. "I hope my trust turns out to be right."

"It has to be." Qian Xia said as he ran ahead and whispered a few words to Vice Chairman Qian. Vice Chairman Qian turned back and gave Luo Yewen a warm smile. "Sorry to trouble you, Xiao Luo."

Luo Ye quickly squeezed out a smile. "You’re too polite, Chief."

...

"Luoluo, how was it, did they make things hard for you?"

As soon as Luo Ye appeared at the entrance of the hall, Xing Nong hurried over to meet her, with Ying Nuo and Yaoguang following right behind.

"I’m fine." Luo Ye gave them a reassuring smile. "Hurry back, everyone’s looking this way."

"Okay, just two tables left to finish toasting. We’ll talk later."

Watching them run off, Qian Xia couldn’t help saying, "Your friends are pretty loyal."

"Of course." Luo Ye blinked her eyes. "Birds of a feather flock together, you don’t know that?"

"The way you talk, do you just like taking digs at people all the time?" Qian Xia laughed helplessly, then his eyes suddenly lit up and his smile softened noticeably.

One look at his expression and Luo Ye knew it had to be Luo Lian coming over. She turned her head, and sure enough, Luo Lian was walking toward them. She went up to meet her. "Something up?"

"Yeah." Luo Lian nodded. "Next the bride and groom are going out to shoot some outdoor photos. I promised to see my dad off at the airport, so I have to leave early. Can you take over my job?"

"No problem." Luo Ye checked the time. "I totally spaced—Uncle Qiao finally made it over here and you barely got to spend time with him. If you head back now, you can still sit and chat with him a bit. Go quickly."

"It’s fine, we talk on the phone every day." Luo Lian said, then sighed. "It’s my grandma... maybe she’s getting older, her tears just come easier now. Every time we talk on the phone, she has to cry for a while, worrying that I’m not eating well or dressing warmly enough. No matter what I say, she still can’t relax. Sigh!"

"If she didn’t have a granddaughter far away, she wouldn’t be so worried about you, would she?" Luo Ye gave her a light pat. "You should be content—being spoiled by your family, isn’t that exactly what you want? And here you are pretending to be all tragic with me."

Luo Lian’s face darkened. "When did I ever act tragic? I’m just worried about Grandma’s health, okay? I know perfectly well she worries because she loves me. You damn thing, your mouth is getting more and more ruthless."

"Forget it, I’m not talking to you anymore. I’m rushing back now to see if I can change my ticket. If I can, I want to go back to Beijing with Dad."

"Then do the change now." Luo Ye said as she dialed Qu Yue’s number. "Boss Qu, help me book one ticket to Beijing, departing at four this afternoon... any class is fine, as long as you can get it.

No, I’m not going to Beijing, the ticket’s for Lianlian. Whether it works or not, give her a call... Mm, okay... okay. Come over tonight for the wedding-night fun; I’ll tell Brother Qi."

"How can my brain be this slow." Luo Lian smacked herself, then smiled at Luo Ye. "Heh heh... Ye’er is still the smart one. I’m off, help me explain things to Sister-in-law Qi, bye."

"Wait..." Qian Xia was so anxious he almost reached out to grab her.

"What do you want?" Luo Lian looked at him, puzzled. "Oh right, you look a bit like that Vice Chairman Qian. Don’t tell me you’re some kind of relative of his? I’m warning you, I don’t have any good impression of him."

"I’m his son." Qian Xia laughed awkwardly. "Let me drive you home, okay?"

"No need, I know where my own front door is." Luo Lian snorted unceremoniously. "Don’t tell me you like me. I’m warning you, just because of that father of yours, there’s not even the tiniest possibility between us."

"You... you can’t jump to conclusions that fast." Qian Xia hurried after her. "I just want to drive you home. It’s not like you lose anything. And besides, that way you can get to know me a bit. Why not?"

"I don’t want to get to know you..."

Listening to their arguing voices fade into the distance, Luo Ye smiled and shook her head, then headed to the main table.

"Xiao Xuan’s got something at work and has to go back to the office. He asked me to let you know."

"Did he say what it is?" Luo Ye looked at Mr. Wen in puzzlement. "If it was something minor, he wouldn’t have bothered you."

"One of the section-level cadres from the office went out shopping and got into a fight. In the end, he beat the person to death. Xiao Xuan is the office director, so he has to go back immediately." As he spoke, a flash of anger appeared in Mr. Wen’s eyes. "Some of these cadres nowadays really think they’re above the law."

Luo Ye could only shake her head. Running into something like this, being in Ye Xuan’s position really is a headache.

By the time they finished the outdoor shoot and got back to the nursing home, it was already five in the afternoon. Yue Qin was exhausted, almost falling apart. As soon as she stepped inside, she collapsed onto the bed, while Xia Yingru kept sneaking laughs on the side.

Xing Nong jabbed her. "What are you laughing at, like you’ve just stolen a chicken."

Xia Yingru leaned over and whispered a few words into Xing Nong’s ear, and soon Xing Nong was looking at Yue Qin with a mischievous grin too. Luo Ye and Zhu Hongyu were both sharp; one look at their faces and they knew what they were thinking, so of course they kept quiet.

Honest kid that Ying Nuo was couldn’t hold back her curiosity. She kept asking the two what was so funny. Yue Qin, probably a bit muddled from exhaustion, chimed in too. "If it’s something funny, say it so we can all laugh."

Xia Yingru hurried to say, "Sis-in-law, you were the one who told me to say it."

Yue Qin nodded. "Mm, go ahead."

"Sis-in-law’s this worn out—how are you going to manage tonight with the bridal chamber? And on top of that, they’re going to make trouble in the bridal chamber. Hahaha..."

"You little girl, not shy at all when you talk." Zhu Hongyu poked her forehead with a finger. "Just wait till you get married; we’ll see how we mess with you."

"Me, get married?" Xia Yingru’s face showed dreamy longing. "I’m really hoping for that, but I don’t know when he’ll finally agree to marry me. As long as he agrees to marry me, you can make all the trouble you want, I won’t mind."

Yue Qin’s face had been bright red with embarrassment, but after hearing that confession, her expression slowly returned to normal. She forced herself to sit up and teased Xia Yingru. "When a woman chases a man, it’s like a thin veil in between. Relax, the day you get married will come very soon."

Xia Yingru twisted her body and pouted coquettishly. "Sis-in-law, you’ve gone bad too, joining them to tease me."

"I think you’re just dying for Sis-in-law’s words to come true right away, aren’t you?" Xing Nong grabbed the hands she’d used to cover her face. "What’s with the fake shyness? We don’t buy it.

It’s your cousin who actually has his eye on our Lianlian. Hmph, with a dad like his, doing things so unreliably, we absolutely can’t agree. Xia Yingru, you have to take a stand—whose side are you on?"

"My cousin likes Lianlian?" Xia Yingru looked totally stunned. "Didn’t he like Luoluo? Are you sure you didn’t get it wrong?" (To be continued.
