Chapter 805 You Think You Can Control Me Forever?!
Lu Qingyou sat down next to Bai Yunan with a tray in her hands.
Bai Yunan frowned at her. "Why are you only here now?"
"I just woke up and saw your message," Lu Qingyou replied as she picked up her bowl and took a big sip of soup.
She didn't feel hungry before, but now that she saw the food, she suddenly felt famished.
Even though the food had cooled down a bit, she didn't mind it since Bai Yunan and the others could still eat it.
Bai Yunan took a deep breath and was about to scold her. However, he stopped the words on the tip of his tongue when he remembered that he was about to go on a mission and would be away for a long time.
He didn't say anything and reached out to touch her bowl of soup. When he couldn't feel any warmth, he furrowed his eyebrows. "It's gotten cold. I'll ask them to heat it up for you."
Lu Qingyou quickly stopped him. "No need. It's my fault for being late. I don't want to trouble anyone. Besides, you guys can eat it, so what does it matter to me?"
After saying that, she quickly took a few bites of rice and smiled at Bai Yunan with narrowed eyes, looking a bit silly.
Bai Yunan looked away and let out a barely audible sigh.
When he turned back, he saw a grain of rice on the corner of Lu Qingyou's mouth. He swiftly reached out to wipe it off for her.
Lu Qingyou ate quickly because she knew that Bai Yunan was busy.
After they finished their meal and left the cafeteria, Lu Qingyou followed behind Bai Yunan like an obedient wife.
When they arrived at the office, Bai Yunan didn't rush to deal with the documents. He just sat behind his desk without any emotion on his face as he looked at Lu Qingyou.
Lu Qingyou suddenly remembered that she hadn't explained the previous incident to Bai Yunan. She started to feel a bit guilty under his gaze.
"Why are you standing there? Come sit down."
Bai Yunan pointed to the chair opposite him, indicating for Lu Qingyou to sit.
Lu Qingyou had never seen him look so serious before.
She hesitated for a moment before sitting down in front of him and cautiously glancing at him. "Do you...not have anything else to attend to?" Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Bai Yunan crossed his arms and peered at her. "Why didn't you go to work at the company today?"
Upon hearing that, Lu Qingyou lowered her head and nervously twirled her fingers. Her voice was quiet when she hesitantly answered, "There's a problem with the boss."
Bai Yunan didn't say anything and only stared at her.
Lan Qingyou felt a bit guilty. Although she hadn't seen Bai Yunan for a long time, he still cared about her. She had found an internship job on her own, and Bai Yunan had inquired about her situation.
At that time, he advised her to switch to another company, but she didn't want to change as she felt that she had found the job based on her own abilities.
Seeing Bai Yunan remaining silent, Lan Qingyou turned her head away and awkwardly added, "I know I shouldn't have lied to you. Do you think I wanted to be harassed by my boss? Of course, I didn't want you to know. I have my pride too, you know!"
She wanted to keep her dignity intact in front of the person she had romantic feelings for.
But to Bai Yunan, Lan Qingyou had always been like a little sister.
From childhood to adulthood, Bai Yunan would interfere no matter what she did or decided.
She knew he was doing it for her own good, and she trusted him.
But over time, she started to become rebellious.
Bai Yunan's face suddenly darkened, and he demanded in a deep voice, "Does pride matter in this? Do you still think of yourself as a child? Can't you tell what is important and what is not?"
Does she know what would have happened if I hadn't sent someone to secretly protect her or if Yeqi hadn't happened to pass by?
Thinking about this, Bai Yunan took a deep breath and massaged his forehead. He then picked up a glass of water and drank it, annoyed.
To him, she was still too young. Even though he worried about everything, he couldn't stay by her side all the time.
Lu Qingyou tightly pursed her lips as her eyes grew teary. Her stubbornness was written all over her face when she protested, "You've been controlling me since I was little. Aren't you sick of it? Have I
ever asked you to control me? Don't always treat me like a child. I've had enough! I'm not a child anymore. I've grown up! It's my business if I make mistakes or wrong decisions. You think you can control me forever?"
Bam!
Bai Yunan slammed his hand on the desk in anger and yelled, "Lu Qingyou!"
For a moment, Lu Qingyou really wanted to hear him say that he would control her forever.
But apart from rage, there was no other emotion on his face.
"You should go about your business. I'm leaving," Lan Qingyou confidently huffed. looked at his furious expression, feeling both sad and relieved. She had gained some courage from her anger. She then left with an air of determination.
After leaving the office, her legs went weak and she almost sat down on the ground. Fortunately, she managed to hold onto the wall in time.
She felt like she was floating all the way. When she reached the entrance, she called Lu Qinghan.
"Qinghan, can you come pick me up from the military area?"
"It's too far; I'm not going. Go back with Dad or let Yunan send you. I'm sleeping—"
"If you don't come to pick me up, I'll stay at your bar every day. I'm unemployed now anyway."
"You..."
"Hurry up."
Lu Qingyou easily convinced Lu Qinghan.
The Lu family was different from other families. They valued their daughters more than their sons. While Lu Qinghan was just a weed in the family, Lu Qingyou was the family's treasure.
The elders didn't think a bar was a good place, so they opposed Lu Qinghan opening a bar. If Lu Qingyou went to wait for him there, he would be the one to take the blame.
Lu Qinghan eventually got up from the bed lazily. Am I even my parents' biological son? he quietly complained.
…
Lu Qingyou waited at the door for a long time before Lu Qinghan arrived.
During this time, Bai Yunan didn't come to find her.
Once Lu Qingyou got in the car, she leaned against the window listlessly and didn't speak to Lu Qinghan.
Lu Qinghan glanced at her. "What's the matter with you?"
Lu Qingyou glanced at him and sighed. "I had a fight with Yunan."
"A fight?" Lu Qinghan looked at her as if he had heard a particularly funny joke. He didn't believe that Lu Qingyou would dare to argue with Bai Yunan.
"You don't have to believe me if you don't want to."
Lu Qingyou rolled her eyes. Her actually having a fight with Bai Yunan? Even she didn't believe herself!
After thinking about it for a moment, she took out her phone and hesitantly scrolled through the screen for a while before tapping on Bai Yunan's number. She then tapped out of the page just to click back
in...
She became more and more annoyed as she went back and forth with it. At last, she threw her phone to the side.
Lu Qinghan didn't take Lu Qingyou's words seriously. Considering how close she was to Bai Yunan, Lu Qinghan didn't believe that she really had a fight with him.
He turned to look at her. "Where do you want to go?"
"What time does your bar open? Let's go there."
"What?" Lu Qinghan looked at her in shock. "Why do you want to go there?"
"For fun. Don't be so scared. Are you even a man?" Lu Qingyou put on a mischievous smile.
Lu Qinghan retorted, "Are you sure we are siblings?"
"Tell Dad that if you dare."
"You brat."
