The Crippled Bigshot's Little Ancestor Is Too Cool

Chapter 74: Jealousy

Rong City, Lu family’s courtyard.

Lu Qingzhuo came out of the training room. His entire body was refreshed, and his heroic eyes were also tinged with some light.

Five years, a whole five years.

It had been a long time since he could run, jump, and exercise like this. He could even box!

The overly intense exercise did not make him feel tired. Instead, he was unprecedentedly energetic.

This was all thanks to He Youran.

When he thought of He Youran, Lu Qingzhuo’s eyes could not help but soften a little. Before he realized it, there was a hint of affection in them.

As he wiped his sweat, he was about to take a shower when Pang Zhong came over to greet him.

Lu Qingzhuo stopped in his tracks and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“What’s the matter?”

“Young master, I called the person in charge of protecting Miss He and he said that something happened to her…”

“What? !”Lu Qingzhuo asked nervously, “What happened to her?”

“Miss He is fine, but she met someone…” Pang Zhong was a little embarrassed to say it.

It was the first time Lu Qingzhuo realized that Pang Zhong was so indecisive. He urged impatiently, “Who did she meet?”

“He Yaobai.”

“…”

Lu Qingzhuo was silent.

Although the He family and the Lu family of imperial capital were connected by marriage, this relationship was only a precarious surface relationship. The two families each had their own thoughts, so how could they be on the same page?

Lu Qingzhuo and He Yaobai were even more underhanded competitors in business. The two of them had never gotten along. Apart from that ridiculous marriage contract, which allowed him to interact with He Yaoxing occasionally, he and He Yaobai rarely met each other.

Now that He Youran had actually met He Yaobai at this juncture, it was inevitable that he would overthink it.

Lu Qingzhuo was a little anxious.

But, their surnames were He, could it be..

No, he had already had his subordinates check He Youran’s identity many times. Other than the four years she had been abroad, she had never had any contact with the He family in the imperial capital.

Then, what was going on?

How could He Youran…

Lu Qingzhuo furrowed his brows and asked, “Did you hear what they said?”

Pang Zhong shook his head.

“No, He Yaobai is very careful. He has bodyguards on the surface and guards in the dark. Our men have no way to get close to him. We can only confirm that Miss He met him. We can’t find out anything else.”

“I know.” Lu Qing Zhuo waved his hand, let Pang Zhong down.

In the evening, He Youran as usual to the Lu family, first looked at the Old Lady Lu, and then to Lu Qingzhuo legs.

When the housekeeper said that Lu Qingzhuo was in the study, she carried the medicine box and went to the study. Just as she pushed the door open, Lu Qingzhuo, who was sitting at his desk reading a document, immediately looked up. When he saw that it was her, his expression instantly changed.

He had a lot of things he wanted to say and a lot of questions he wanted to ask.

But when he saw He Youran, the words that he wanted to say were all swallowed back into his stomach.

In what position was he going to question her?

No, this would expose the fact that he had sent people to follow He Youran.

He endured it again and again, trying his best to suppress his surging emotions so that he could have a normal conversation with her.

“You’re here.”

“Yeah.”

He Youran nodded and walked over to check on him.

Looking at her lowered head and the soft hair on her head, Lu Qing couldn’t help but pinch her fingers. He coughed lightly and said,

“I went to look for you last night, but you weren’t there.”

“Ah? Really?” He Youran was surprised. “Why didn’t you call me in advance when you went to look for me?”

“I thought you would be home at that time,” Lu Qingzhuo said.

“Uh…”

It couldn’t be that coincidental. Was it when she was stopped by He Yaobai?

For some reason, He Youran felt a little guilty even though she hadn’t done anything wrong.

After all, He Yaobai was Lu Qingzhuo’s sworn enemy.

“Where… Where did you go?” Lu Qingzhuo asked anyway.

“Where else? The hospital. Something happened yesterday and I got stuck.”

She was telling the truth.

Lu Qingzhuo stared at her. He really wanted to ask her who or what she was stuck on.

But, He Youran was obviously trying to hide the truth, so he couldn’t say anything.
