Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Dating
Ten minutes later.
Qiao Yun waited for Li Hanzhou to arrive.
The man was dressed in a grey shirt and casual pants, his gaze weary and languid but his demeanor exquisitely handsome.
Qiao Yun glanced over Li Hanzhou’s complexion and slowly began to speak, her tone certain, “You’re not happy.”
Li Hanzhou paused briefly, then laughed softly, “Kid, you care that much about what I feel?”
“If you’re worried about something, tell me, and I’ll give you some advice,” Qiao Yun looked forward to it.
Friends should listen to each other’s troubles, it’s just a pity that Li Hanzhou had never confided in her about his.
Before Li Hanzhou could speak, Shen Qi, who had come with him, said, “Brother Li is being pressured to marry, that’s all.”
Qiao Yun: “Ah?”
“The family wants to hold their grandson.”
Li Hanzhou’s tone was inexplicable, and when he said this, his gaze was fixed on Qiao Yun.
Qiao Yun’s face showed confusion, but no sign of struggle.
Li Hanzhou saw no change in Qiao Yun’s expression and felt an inexplicable irritation.
He chuckled scornfully.
Shen Qi: “…”
Suddenly, the air felt cold.
Qiao Yun asked Li Hanzhou, “You don’t want to get married?”
“It depends on who the partner is.”
Li Hanzhou’s gaze didn’t leave Qiao Yun. “Of course, I’d be willing to marry the person I like.”
“So, everyone is supposed to get married?”
Qiao Yun couldn’t imagine what Li Hanzhou would look like married.
Li Hanzhou hummed with interest.
Shen Qi, very perceptive at the side, chimed in, “Professor Qiao, in one’s lifetime, everyone should experience love, marriage, and having children—that’s a perfect life, and having your own family is a very happy thing.”
Qiao Yun thought, life is indeed complicated, one has to date, then get married, and that means you’d have to have children too…
Qiao Yun was dumbfounded.
So, she thought, to be human… one also has to have children!!!
“Kid, do you want to get married?” Li Hanzhou asked with an enigmatic tone.
Without overthinking it, Qiao Yun shook her head and said, “You have to date first before you can get married.”
Professor Qiao valued the proper order of life.
Li Hanzhou looked at Qiao Yun, the corners of his peach blossom eyes crinkling with a light smile, and deliberately said to Qiao Yun, “Alright, then let’s start with dating.”
Qiao Yun agreed wholeheartedly, “Mm-hmm.”
Although the two were not on the same wavelength, Li Hanzhou was very satisfied with Qiao Yun’s answer.
A little rabbit, it’s better to fatten it up before eating, it’ll be tastier that way.
Shen Qi: “…”
Pah! Beast!
He was quite impressed with Lord Li; even Professor Qiao dared to be flirted with—if he really managed to win her over, not just their circle but the entire academic community would be in an uproar.
Thinking of those overprotective academicians, Shen Qi secretly prayed for Li Hanzhou in his heart.
After Qiao Yun got in the car, as if something came to her, she exclaimed, “However, I can’t date until after I’m 25.”
“Why after twenty-five?” Shen Qi was baffled, goodness, Lord Li would be so frustrated.
“I promised my grandfather, I can’t break my word,” Qiao Yun said seriously.
Shen Qi looked at Li Hanzhou with a pitiful gaze, knowing Professor Qiao was famous for keeping her word… Tragic! It was awfully tragic!
There wasn’t a trace of mirth on Li Hanzhou’s face.
He thought, that’s fine, the number he hated the most in his life was 25.
On the way, Lu Zhanxing called Qiao Yun, telling her he had arrived first.
About ten minutes later, Qiao Yun arrived as well.
After getting out of the car, they approached the restaurant.
Just before entering the restaurant, Qiao Yun seemed to sense something, her steps hesitated, and she turned her head to look towards a spot not far away, squinting her eyes.
