Ch.272 Can't you be a little romantic? (5)
To make things worse, he was actually caught by his best friend during his trip with Jiang Mucheng to Haigang City. So, was he going to jail for "abducting a fool" now?
Lu Ting quickly tried to resolve the awkward situation. "Come on, let's go out together."
After getting off the plane, Lin Yueqi, Tuantuan, and Jiang Mucheng were walking at the front.
Li Xing and Lu Ting were at the back, holding all the luggage.
Lu Ting asked, "When did it start?"
"Don't misunderstand." Li Xing clearly appeared quite embarrassed. He scratched his head and said in a low voice, "Old Cheng won a pair of tickets to Haigang Amusement park from a drink contest, the type that includes airfare. I was thinking that since I used to be her boss, then I'd be a fool if I didn't take advantage of this opportunity, right?"
"What? Is your company so poor now that Li Xiujie is gone?" Lu Ting shot him a stare.
"..." Li Xing conceded and explained frankly, "I just felt bad for her! It was her birthday last time and she made a wish. Can you guess what it was?"
"What?"
"She wished that people would stop calling her a fool." Li Xing sighed. "You know how it is, I just blurt out my thoughts sometimes. I didn't think it would hurt her so much. It's not like it's her fault she turned into an idiot from shock. That's why I thought I'd compensate her."
"I never knew that Mr. Li had such a kind heart." Lu Ting patted him on the shoulder. "I may not be as good as you when it comes to chasing after a girl, but at least I've got more guts than you do."
Li Xing was a smart man. He quickly caught up to Lu Ting and whispered, "Bro, you know I've never asked you for anything, even until this age, and I know I can't hide it from you either, but...Just pretend you never saw us, alright? You know what that old witch back at my house is like. If she knew that I treat Old Cheng differently from other people, what do you think will happen?"
Lu Ting glanced at him and nodded.
Li Xing's mother was ruthless, and she may not be able to accept ordinary girls. Especially not special girls like Jiang Mucheng.
Li Xing also breathed a sigh of relief and caught up to the others.
...
To Lin Yueqi's surprise, Li Xing and Jiang Mucheng booked the same hotel as them, and on the same floor too.
Once they arrived at their floor, Lin Yueqi's family of three watched as Li Xing brought Jiang Mucheng into the same room as him. They all stood behind the two of them, staring hard as Li Xing unlocked the door.
Li Xing felt chills from their staring. Once he opened the door, he explained, "Don't look at me as if I'm some kind of beast...It's a suite, a two-room suite. Old Lu knows what kind of guy I am. I'm definitely not the kind of beast who would abduct and trick a little girl!"
Even though Jiang Mucheng couldn't understand what Li Xing was saying, she still shook her head and said sincerely, "Xingxing is not a beast."
Li Xing felt chills from being stared at by the three of them. He added, "If you really don't believe me, then here. Tuantuan, Lin Yueqi, you can share a room with Old Cheng. I'll share a room with Old Lu."
"Okay! Tuantuan can sleep with Old Cheng again!" The chubby girl went on her tiptoes and took the card from Li Xing's hand.
Lin Yueqi took her luggage from Lu Ting and said, "That's decided then. Tuantuan, Old Cheng, and I will share a room. You two share the other one."
Lu Ting did not show much expression and just nodded. "Mhm."
Tuantuan flew a kiss at Lu Ting. "Good night Papa. You have to sleep properly okay? Don't keep looking at your computer."
"Aright." His gaze fell on Lin Yueqi's face and he said in a soft voice, "Call me if you need anything."
Lin Yueqi made an "OK" gesture at him.
Once the door to room 2406 was shut, Lu Ting turned around and gave Li Xing a kick on the shin.
Being suddenly kicked by him, Li Xing was dumbfounded. "?? Old Lu, what the hell? You eat gunpowder or something? Why are you so cranky?"
He dragged his luggage into the room with Lu Ting, and only then did he realize why Lu Ting was so pissed off.
It was a specially decorated room.
