Lu Haiqiao’s eyes were teary, and her voice was soft and gentle.
Xie Xuan’s gaze softened instantly.
He shrugged, half joking. “Same as you.”
“Did you commit a crime too?” A trace of doubt appeared on Lu Haiqiao’s exquisite eyes.
Xie Da was speechless.
Xie Er didn’t know what to say.
In the entire world, only Miss Lu would dare to say that their boss had committed a crime.
Xie Xuan smiled. Instead of answering, he asked, “Can we go now?” Lu Haiqiao nodded.
Just as she was about to leave, Qin Liyan stopped her. “Hey, Qiaoqiao…”
Lu Haiqiao thought about it and walked up to him. She whispered, “Uncle Qin, can you not tell my mother about what happened today?”
Qin Liyan hesitated. “Your mother cares about you the most. Of course, I can’t let her worry, but…”
As he hesitated, he sized up Xie Xuan, who was talking to Xie Er. Seeing Xie Er’s respectful and polite attitude, Qin Liyan knew that the young man was probably the “Young Master Xuan” that Secretary Liu mentioned.
Xie… Xuan..
Qin Liyan frowned and thought for a few seconds. Suddenly, an idea flashed
through his mind.
By the way, wasn’t Old Master Xie’s precious grandson called Xie Xuan?
Could it be…
Qin Liyan was suspicious, but he wasn’t sure.
After all, Old Master Xie had protected his grandson since he was young. Very few people had seen him.
“Qiaoqiao, tell me the truth. You and this young man…
Before Qin Liyan could finish his question, Lu Haiqiao interrupted him anxiously. “Please keep this a secret for me. I’ll think of a way to ask my mother out for a meal next Saturday.”
Obviously, she didn’t hear the first half of his sentence.
But that wasn’t important anymore. Qin Liyan couldn’t think straight anymore.
“Really?” There was obvious joy in his voice.
“Of course.” Lu Haiqiao blinked her sparkling eyes, looking extremely sincere.
“I’ll do what I say.”
As soon as she said that, she looked at Xie Xuan and met his smiling eyes. She hurriedly said, “Then it’s settled.” She left after that.
“Are you very close to Qin Liyan?” Xie Xuan couldn’t wait to ask the question in his heart the moment he walked out of the police station.
When he saw her whispering to the middle-aged man just now, even though he could deduce from her expression that they were only family friends, the unusual intimacy was still an eyesore to him.
So much so that there was an imperceptible coldness in his tone.
“It’s alright.” Lu Haiqiao looked around, then covered her lips with her left hand and whispered, “He was my mother’s high school classmate. He started wooing my mother when he was in school. My mother has been divorced for twenty years, but he hasn’t succeeded.”
Lu Haiqiao wrinkled her nose as she spoke, and her tone was filled with slight disdain.
Xie Xuan didn’t know what to say.
The love and hatred of middle-aged people were really complicated.
The moment he put down his hand, the heavy feeling that she had yet to get used to made Lu Haiqiao pause.
“Xie Xuan.”
“Yes?”
She took off the Dragon Eye Bodhi that had been wrapped around her wrist several times and handed it over. “Someone told me that this can bless you with peace and fortune, turning misfortune into good luck, so I’m giving it to you.”
On her fair fingertips, the brownish-yellow prayer beads swayed gently.
Xie Xuan’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Do you believe in this?”
Lu Haiqiao looked into his eyes. “If you’re sincere, it’ll work..”
