Chapter 4769: Qin and Huo’s Additional Story (99)

“She’s fine like this.” Qin Chu had always been protective.

“Okay, okay, okay… You have a weird taste. I guess I shouldn’t say anything. It’s fine so long as you two like each other.”

Seeing that she was not winning with reason, Zhu Lingling was too lazy to say anything.

“You still have the cheek to talk about her… Look at you… what are you wearing in the winter… You are even exposing your shoulders… Aren’t you cold?”

Gao Ran started criticizing Zhu Lingling.

“I like that. It’s hard to buy happiness with money. What do you care?”

“I don’t care about you… Even if I have nothing better to do, I would eat melon seeds rather than care about you.”

As a result, their bickering began again…

Qin Chu and Huo Mian were used to it. Qin Chu cut the steak and handed it to Huo Mian with a fork.

Their public display of affection made Zhu Lingling and Gao Ran sour again.

“Oh, right, Mian… how was your tutoring this afternoon? Did it go well?” Zhu Lingling asked casually.

Huo Mian felt a little guilty.

After all, she knew that Qin Chu didn’t want her to have any contact with Huo Siqian.

So she nodded and said perfunctorily, “It wasn’t bad. It was the same as in the morning.”

Gao Ran took a sip of his drink and deliberately teased Huo Mian, “Genius, how much have you earned lately?”

“About a thousand…” Huo Mian said.

“Shouldn’t you treat us to a feast or something?”

“Okay.” Huo Mian nodded.

“No,” Qin Chu refused.

“Hey, Chu… I asked Huo Mian to treat you, why are you so anxious?”

“It’s hard for her to earn money… I’ll treat you to whatever you want… It’s the same whether she or I treat you,” Qin Chu said.

“Oh my…”

“Oh my my my…”

Zhu Lingling and Gao Ran both cheered.

Huo Mian blushed.

“Can you not be so obvious…”

“Eat your food…” Qin Chu covered Gao Ran’s mouth.

Qin Chu actually felt bad that Huo Mian had to go out to work during the winter break. The weather was -20 degrees celsius, and Huo Mian was freezing like a walking carrot on the bus.

It was indeed not easy to travel around and tutor others.

But he could not help her.

The last time—after coming back from Yunding Mountain, she had returned the money that he had secretly placed in her wallet.

Because of this, Huo Mian warned him angrily that if he did this again, she would start ignoring him.

Qin Chu was so scared that he didn’t dare to give her money directly.

He could only pretend to meet her by chance and drive her a few times or buy her some hot milk tea.

After dinner, Qin Chu drove Huo Mian home.

Gao Ran took a cab to send Zhu Lingling off.

It was rare for Gao Ran to send Zhu Lingling home.

It was rare that everyone was in a good mood that day.

Unexpectedly, while waiting for a taxi, they met someone familiar.

A black Mercedes Benz 600 stopped in front of them.

The car window rolled down slowly, revealing a delicate face.

“Gao Ran, why are you standing here?”

“l… was having dinner with my friends and I’m sending one of them home.” Gao Ran smiled.

“This… It’s freezing. Why are you waiting here? It’s not easy to get a taxi here. Come, get in the car. I’ll send you guys.”

“I don’t think that’s a good idea.” Gao Ran hesitated.

“Come on up,” the girl insisted, so Gao Ran had no choice but to enter.

He even brought Zhu Lingling along.

Zhu Lingling wanted to refuse, but Gao Ran had already opened the door for her, so she couldn’t.

After getting into the car, she realized that the atmosphere was very awkward.

Zhu Lingling was sandwiched between Gao Ran and the girl.

However, she didn’t know this girl at all, and Gao Ran had never mentioned her before.

“Hello, I’m Yu Wenwen.” The girl smiled.

“Zhu Lingling.”

“Gao Ran, is this your classmate?” the girl asked.
