PDA

Lu Han also didn't expect that in the middle of their conversation, he would suddenly become the vice president of the Su Group.

Feeling amused, he suddenly felt a pinch on his side. Without looking, he knew it was Su Qingli.

Turning to glance at her, she pretended not to notice, making it clear that she was trying to hide something obvious.

However, this action actually changed Lu Han's mind. Originally, he intended to directly refuse Su Qiuchao's offer, but now, his words turned into: "Uncle Su, I'll follow Qingli's decision."

This response was clever; he neither accepted nor refused outright.

In short, let you two discuss it!

But in Su Qiuchao's ears, Lu Han had agreed and showed respect for his precious daughter.

Quite diplomatic.

Su Qiuchao looked at his daughter and saw her blushing, thinking she was shy.

Little did he know, Su Qingli was actually angry.

You dog-man, you're staying out of this, intentionally letting me argue with Dad over this, aren't you?

The annoyed Su family's eldest daughter took advantage when her parents weren't paying attention and reached out her hand again.

But this time, she didn't succeed. Lu Han anticipated her move, seemingly crossing his arms, but his left hand was already waiting at his side, catching Su Qingli's hand.

Su Qingli tried to pull her hand back nonchalantly, but the dog-man held it tightly, no matter how hard she struggled.

At this moment, Su Qiuchao and Xie Qingwan noticed their small actions but thought they were showing affection.

Lu Han said he'd listen to his daughter.

The daughter, touched and happy, took the initiative to hold the man's hand.

It made perfect sense!

But isn't it inappropriate to do this in front of your parents?

Xie Qingwan stood up and smiled gently, "I'll go check on the food preparation in the kitchen."

She then gave her husband a look.

Su Qiuchao immediately understood and said, "I'll come with you."

As they walked towards the kitchen, Su Qiuchao glanced back and sighed softly, "I didn't expect Qingli and Lu Han to have such good chemistry despite knowing each other for such a short time."

Xie Qingwan also smiled, "Initially, I thought we were wronging Qingli by arranging this marriage, but now it seems I was overthinking."

Su Qiuchao sighed, "But no matter what, I still feel guilty towards our daughter."

"Honey, don't say that," Xie Qingwan comforted him. "Our daughter has grown up and understands your difficulties. Besides, Old Lu said he wouldn't let our daughter suffer in the Lu family."

Su Qiuchao replied with a complex expression, "Let's hope so..."

In the living room, Lu Han released her hand. Su Qingli angrily said, "What are you doing in front of my parents?"

Lu Han put on an innocent face, "Why did you pinch me?"

Su Qingli shook her slightly red hand and retorted, "Your skin is thick. What's wrong with me pinching you?"

Lu Han grinned mischievously, "Then let me pinch you too."

He reached out his hand, but instead of her waist, he aimed for her chest.

Scared like a startled bird, Su Qingli quickly dodged and angrily asked, "What are you doing?"

"You have thicker skin there."

Lu Han said seriously, "I want to see if it hurts."

"Pervert," Su Qingli spat lightly. "Who are you insulting?"

The flesh there might be a bit thicker, but it's definitely not rough, right?

It's soft and smooth!

Unfortunately, you can't touch it!

Thinking this, Su Qingli felt a bit smug.

But she wouldn't dare say this in front of Lu Han.

Through their interactions, Su Qingli realized that this dog-man was the type who would do whatever you told him not to do.

Provoking Lu Han could lead to unpredictable consequences.

Lu Han didn't know Su Qingli was using mental victory tactics to comfort herself. Seeing her suddenly silent, he didn't bother guessing her thoughts.

Lighting a cigarette, he had just taken a couple of puffs when Su Qingli asked, "Hey, how do you know so much?"

She referred to Lu Han's earlier conversation with her father, which was surprisingly professional despite his apparent lack of knowledge.

"I happened to come across a blogger while scrolling through short videos. I learned and applied it on the spot," Lu Han casually replied.

Su Qingli looked unconvinced, knowing he was making it up, but she didn't press further.

Soon, Su Qiuchao and Xie Qingwan returned.

After chatting for a while, it was time for lunch.

Overall, the meal was pleasant.

But for Su Qingli, it would have been better if Lu Han hadn't occasionally touched her leg under the table.

This feeling... was quite uncomfortable.

She had to pretend everything was normal while being anxious, fearing her parents would notice.

By the time they finished eating, her legs were a bit weak. Su Qiuchao didn't notice his daughter's discomfort and suddenly said, "Lu Han, since you're satisfied with Qingli, ask Old Lu if he's free tomorrow. Let Qingli visit your family."

Lu Han was slightly surprised. This meant that after the man had visited the woman's family, it was now the woman's turn to visit the man's family.

Next would be both sets of parents meeting to discuss engagement and wedding plans.

Su Qingli understood what was happening and felt a bit bitter inside.

What must come will come.

Xie Qingwan noticed her daughter's melancholy and instinctively held her hand.

Realizing she worried her mother, Su Qingli quickly composed herself and gave her mother a reassuring smile.

Lu Han smiled and said, "No need to ask, let's set it for tomorrow."

For such a small matter, he could make the decision himself.

Would Old Lu be busy?

Would he dare?

Seeing it was about time, Lu Han bid farewell and left.

On the way back, he called Uncle Sen.

"Master, what's up?"

"Uncle Sen, have you found anything about Ling Mo?"

Lu Han usually didn't care about others, but once provoked, he always retaliated.

"I've gathered enough information."

Uncle Sen replied, "Ling Mo's family runs a building materials business, but due to the downturn in real estate, many payments haven't come in."

"Their company is on the brink of bankruptcy, patching things up as best they can."

"But I estimate they won't last long."

"Master, I'll give you the detailed report when you return."

True to form, Uncle Sen was highly efficient.

"Good."

Lu Han hung up.

Then, an idea popped into his head.

Should he tell Chu Ruoyan?
