Lu Yichen laughed softly, "Rest assured, I wouldn't sell you off."
Luo Qiao 'hmped' and said, "That's more like it."
The smile on his face made Lu Yichen's heart feel somewhat sweet. Looking at Luo Qiao's expression, he knew he needed to work even harder; this carefree girl was truly headache-inducing.
That evening, the three of them had a lovely dinner before going their separate ways.
The next day, Luo Qiao got up early to cook. She had told Lu Yichen the day before that she would take time off to go to the city today. At breakfast, she said to Stone, "I won't be back for lunch, Stone. Later, take some steamed buns over there and warm them up for a simple meal."
Lu Yichen added, "I'll also prepare some pickled cucumbers that Sister Luo Qiao made for you. There's water in the thermos, drink lots, and don't let yourself get too hot."
