A pampered young lady from a prestigious family, pampered by her childhood sweetheart, a CEO.
Chapter 13 Running Away Was Fun, But Chasing After His Wife Was a Death Trip
The resort is an hour's drive from their home.
Since Xu Qiluo couldn't get through, Xu Xiong planned to have the driver take her across. Before the driver could even drive the car out of the garage, the front gate opened, and Xu Xiong squinted as he watched the car with the license plate "888" from Beijing and Shanghai drive in.
The young master of the Luo family drives a Maybach, which is worth over 30 million yuan. It's his personal car.
The driver got out of the car first, opened the door for him, and then bent down to open the trunk. There were too many things, so he asked the Xu family's butler to help him take them in.
Luo Yunqi saw Xu Xiong standing at the door the moment the car drove in. A sense of nervousness immediately welled up in his heart. This was the first time he had visited Xu Xiong since returning to China, and he felt that he had failed in his duty.
"Uncle Xu, I've come to pick up Yao Yao..."
These words sounded really guilty. Luo Yunqi changed into a more casual outfit, a gray and white sweatshirt, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He swept all his hair back, revealing his flawless face.
Xu Xiong and the butler stood side by side at the door. Xu Xiong chuckled, "The young master of the Luo family has come to visit in person. This is truly an honor for our Xu family."
Luo Yunqi nearly had a heart attack. He humbly said, "Uncle Xu, you're being too kind. I'm a junior, and I should be grateful that you still allowed me to come in."
“That’s not it…” Xu Xiong was still angry. “I didn’t see you clearly before letting you in. You can leave now. My Xu family isn’t so poor that we don’t even have a car. I will have someone personally deliver Yao Yao to the manor. There’s no need to trouble Young Master Luo.”
After saying that, Xu Xiong asked the butler to see the guests out. He glanced at the gifts lightly and said that they were all rare and valuable items that were hard to find on the market. "Old Mu, return the gifts to Young Master Luo, so that people won't say that our Xu family is so poor that we have to keep even the smallest things."
"Yes, sir."
Luo Yunqi was anxious but didn't know what to do. The other party was Yao Yao's father, his elder, and his future father-in-law...
"Uncle Xu..."
"dad."
Xu Shuli is indeed beautiful, a role model that everyone in Beijing's socialite circle strives to emulate, from her clothes and makeup to her every word and action, and even her eloquence and talent.
Besides her face, what's most beautiful about her is her hair. Her long, chestnut-colored, wavy hair, like seaweed, is casually draped behind her. Her fair skin looks even more like porcelain under the sunlight. Her delicate features are aloof and refined. She has also changed into comfortable clothes, and her fishtail braid makes her look even more exquisite, like a porcelain doll.
“Yaoyao…”
A look of amazement flashed in Luo Yunqi's eyes, followed by boundless tenderness, his gaze so gentle it could melt water.
"Are you ready? Have fun these next couple of days. When Dad has some free time, I'll take you two siblings abroad for a trip."
Xu Xiong's eyes were also full of tenderness. His two children looked exactly like his deceased wife, especially Shuli, who was practically identical to him.
"Dad, I'm fine. You go ahead with your work. I... I'll just ride in his car. It won't be so troublesome for me to go back and forth."
Xu Shuli didn't look at Luo Yunqi's bright eyes. Even though he would be the president of the Luo Group in a few days, he was still someone who wanted to ask his childhood sweetheart for forgiveness.
"Uncle Xu, I swear on my life that I will bring Yao Yao back safely."
Luo Yunqi immediately assured him. Seeing that it was almost time, Xu Xiong knew the two young people had something on their minds. Having known each other for nearly twenty years, and having practically watched Luo Yunqi grow up, he didn't doubt Luo Yunqi's feelings for Xu Shuli, but…
"Go ahead, be careful."
Luo Yunqi personally opened the car door, placed his hand on the roof, and his intense gaze could melt anyone. Xu Shuli pursed her lips and got in. Luo Yunqi waved to them and then consciously sat in the passenger seat.
"Sir, this gift..."
The housekeeper looked at the money scattered all over the floor; any one of it could buy a building. He was at a loss for what to do.
"Let's keep them for now. These medicinal herbs and jewels are hard to find. Put the herbs in the medicine storeroom, take the jewels to Miss's dressing room, and put the rest in the collection area."
"Yes, sir."
As soon as Xu Shuli got into the car, she lowered her head and played on her phone, not intending to pay any attention to Luo Yunqi. He kept turning around, wanting to speak but afraid of making her angry, acting as cautiously as a newlywed bride.
Thankfully, the driver was one of their own; otherwise, his appearance would have been absolutely hilarious.
"Yaoyao... I had them prepare a hot spring medicinal pool for you, filled with herbs that are good for your health. Soak in it for a while."
"Ah."
"I also had some cherries and grapes that you like prepared, they should have been delivered by now."
"it is good."
During a rare break from filming, Wen Qing would send her a video. The actor was a rising star, a former child star, and very handsome. He was currently filming an action scene and was being praised to the skies.
Xu Shuli couldn't help but laugh, and without paying much attention to what Luo Yunqi said, she sent Wen Qing several emojis and reminded her to stay chaste for Chen Li and not to be blinded by the temptations of the outside world.
The curve of her smile was so sweet, but it wasn't for him. A bitter feeling welled up in Luo Yunqi's heart. He didn't know if the person opposite him was a boy or a girl, and he didn't even dare to ask her. His face was bitter. He sat up straight and stopped bothering her.
The driver didn't dare to breathe loudly, glancing out of the corner of his eye at his young master's heartbroken expression, and silently lit a white candle for him.
He had a great time running away, but now he's chasing after his wife like a maniac.
The car fell silent. Xu Shuli finished replying to her messages, but the other party had probably gone back to the game and didn't reply to her messages. Her pale face was reflected in her phone screen, which was off. She raised her head slightly and her eyes met those of Luo Yunqi, who had turned around to look at her.
Their eyes met, but surprisingly, Luo Yunqi looked away first. His eyes flickered, and when he looked at her again, the corners of his mouth curved up, and his eyes were filled with a faint watery color, as if there was a hint of sadness that could not be detected. "Yaoyao, I just wanted to say that you used to get carsick, so could you use your phone less? I prepared some dried fruit, chocolate, coffee and milk tea for you."
He had transformed the interior of his car, which was worth the equivalent of a villa, into a small mobile tea room. He reached out and pressed a button inside the car, and a small partition popped out from the back seat, containing everything he had mentioned.
Even the dried fruit is from her favorite brand; it's all her favorite.
Xu Shuli blinked, her eyes slightly moist, making them blurry and uncomfortable. She didn't move at all. Luo Yunqi thought she didn't like it, so he could only force a smile and say, "You don't like it? If you don't like it, I'll put them away so you don't get bumped into them."
Seeing that she didn't react, Luo Yunqi reached out to touch the button. Just as he was about to press it, he saw in the mirror that Xu Shuli had already picked up a piece of candied fruit and put it in her mouth.
Sweet and sour, just like her current mood.
Luo Yunqi dared not move an inch. Overjoyed, he turned around and sat down obediently, only able to observe his beloved through the rearview mirror.
I saw it all and kept it in my heart.
