He took the car keys. “Oh my, what a coincidence. I knew it. Other than me, who else has such good taste to take a fancy to that car? So it’s you!”

Lu Haiqiao snorted lazily and pointed at himself. “Rascal, thank you for the gift.”

Lu Yunge was speechless.

After returning to the recliner and sitting down, Lu Yunge leaned back and rested his head on one hand. Disdain flashed in his narrowed eyes. “Speaking of which, it’s a good thing that Aunt didn’t take away that Su woman when she divorced. Otherwise, I would have to acknowledge an idiot as my cousin now.”

Back then, in order to be with Su Jinchang, Lu Wanxin fell out with her parents. Even after she got married and later divorced, she never mentioned her family.

Even Su Jinchang thought that Lu Wanxin was just a poor and ordinary woman, let alone Su Qingya. No one expected her to be the daughter of the famous traditional art master, Lu Ye, and the sister of the richest man in Country F, Lu Jianyuan.

“But Haiqiao, aren’t you a little…” Lu Yunge stared at Lu Haiqiao, who was holding a water bottle in one hand and playing with the USB drive with the other. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. Fortunately, we’re not enemies. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t be able to win against you.”

Lu Haiqiao drank all the water in the bottle. The transparent liquid hung at the corner of her lips, sparkling and translucent.

“It’s a game. It has to be simple and crude, like this!”

With that, she took a few steps forward and threw the empty water bottle into the trash can in the corner.

Just as she was about to pack her bow and arrows and leave, Lu Haiqiao felt the phone in her pocket vibrate.

She unlocked her phone and saw that it was a message from Xie Xuan. Mystery said, “Let’s have dinner the day after tomorrow.”

Before Lu Haiqiao could reply, a message popped up in the dialog box.

Mystery said, “Okay?”

After staring at the words “night after tomorrow” for a while, Lu Haiqiao thought for a while. She then started typing. “I have something to do the night after tomorrow. Can we do it the day after that?”

About 30 seconds after the message was sent, Xie Xuan replied, “I’ll wait for you.”

After a while, another message popped up. “Remember to eat even if you have something to do. It’s not healthy to just drink black coffee.”

His message successfully made Lu Haiqiao soften her tense and cold expression. A faint smile crept up the corners of her eyes.

Was she a little hot from exercising just now…

With this thought in mind, Lu Haiqiao used one hand as a fan and fanned her pale pink cheeks a few times.

Lu Yunge stared strangely at her for a few seconds before his gaze fell on the phone in her hand.

“You’re smiling so sweetly. Who are you texting?” There was an obvious sense of dissatisfaction in his tone.

As Lu Haiqiao typed, she said absent-mindedly, “A friend.”

As she spoke, she typed “Yes, you too” and pressed send.

If she could be so happy just by sending a message, it was definitely not an ordinary friend.

Lu Yunge frowned and guessed, “Is this friend Xie?”

At this moment, Lu Haiqiao’s phone vibrated.

Xie Xuan instantly replied, “Okay.”

Lu Haiqiao picked the emoji of a little rabbit nodding its head and sent it over.

After sending the message, she put away her phone.

Recalling the question just now, Lu Haiqiao pursed his lips and said vaguely,

“What’s the matter?”
