Qiao Qing heard this and when she lifted her head to see who it was, she was surprised.
The man smiled, “What is it? Am I handsome? How do I look compared to third young master Jun?”
Luo Chen puked out the cabbage soup he just drank.
The man dodged it and didn’t end up a victim of the projectile vomit.
Luo Chen picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, “Where did this psycho come from? Why’s he trying to flirt with our Qingqing?! Aren’t you afraid that third young master Jun will chop you up?!”
The man grinned, “Who is she to you? How can you be so close to her and not be harmed by third young master Jun?”
Luo Chen, “…”
After a long while, he finally answered, “I’m her friend! Her male bestie! Why?!”
The man raised his eyebrow, “There are no pure friendships between a man and a woman. Are you sure you’ve never liked her in that way? Or is it because the opponent is too strong so you were forced to suppress your desire? As a result, as time went on, you slowly and silently turned into her guardian.. Male.. best… friend…?”
Luo Chen’s face instantly turned puffy red. He opened his lips but couldn’t find the voice to object.
Qiao Qing squinted and tried to leave with her tray.
The man grabbed onto her arm, “Girl, don’t be mad. I’m just kidding. Sit and eat.”
Qiao Qing coldly sneered, “Let go!”
The man let go and played with his own earlobe, “I’m your fan. Can I get your autograph?”
Qiao Qing ignored him and left to sit at another table.
Luo Chen scratched his head, glared at the man, and went to join Qiao Qing.
“Qingqing, “Luo Chen hasty explained himself, “Don’t listen to that man’s nonsense. I’ve never had those thoughts towards you. It’s true that I did like you a little bit in the beginning.”
When he said that, he saw Qiao Qing’s hand froze a bit. So he slapped himself in the face.
“Listen to me! I don’t feel that way anymore! Really! You’re my idol. After I discovered all your identities, I only feel admiration towards you. I don’t dare to wish for more. Can you not distant yourself because of that?”
Qiao Qing was quiet for a while and then nodded.
Luo Chen instantly laughed and then lifted his middle finger at that strange man.
After the two ate, they left the dining hall but soon discovered that the man followed them.
Luo Chen pointed at the man, “Stop following us! Or else I will sue you for assault!”
The man grinned and then took out his gold-plated lighter. He lit up a cigarette and smoked it while he leaned against a giant tree. He watched as the duo walked away.
Before long, a middle-aged man rushed over, “Young master, the madam is looking for you and is furious.”
The man continued to smoke as he squinted his pretty eyes, “She’s old now so it’s healthy for her to get mad sometimes. I’m not a mama’s boy. I can’t spend all my time with her.”
The middle-aged man’s lips twitched, “Then, young master, why did you come to this country?”
The man watched Qiao Qing’s back that was now far away and didn’t answer. Instead, he said, “Tell my mom to stop worrying about me. Maybe I can go home this time with a daughter-in-law for her.”
The middle-aged man’s lips twitched and he followed his gaze, “You’re talking about that girl?”
The man said, “What about it? Not allowed?”
The middle-aged man hesitated but still decided to remind him, “Young master, that person is with someone. She’s with third young master Jun from this country.”
The man simply answered, “As long as she’s not married, I have a chance.”
The middle-aged man, “…”
Just then, the two of them saw light flicker not far away from them.
The middle-aged man’s expression intensified, “Who’s there!?”
