Chapter 301 - Chu Luo Protects Her Husband

After that, Chu Luo and He Zhiqian talked about painting for nearly two hours. He Zhiqian became more and more excited as he spoke, looking like he was prepared to talk to Chu Luo for the entire night.

At half-past nine, Li Yan, who had been sitting there silently, suddenly glanced at his wristwatch.

When Secretary Tan saw his gesture, he knew that he was feeling a little impatient. He quickly clenched his fist and placed it by his lips before letting out a cough. He said to He Zhiqian, “Uncle, Chu Luo still has class tomorrow. She can’t go back late.”

He Zhiqian glanced at him, and when he retracted his gaze, he saw Li Yan’s cold face. His expression darkened as he said, “CEO Li doesn’t seem to be willing to stay at my house.”

He Zhiqian knew Li Yan and was aware that his nephew worked for his company. However, he had heard too much about Li Yan’s ruthless methods and about the rumors that he was cold-blooded and ruthless, so he didn’t have a good impression of him.

As an accomplished painter, he had a lot of integrity and backbone. Once he had determined someone to be bad, he wouldn’t bother to conceal his dislike for him.

Thus, his gaze on Li Yan became even more unpleasant. “CEO Li, if you don’t want to stay at my house, you can leave immediately.”

Seeing that Li Yan was exuding a strong cold aura, Secretary Tan was about to speak when Chu Luo suddenly stood up with a tense expression.

She pulled Li Yan’s hand and waited for him to stand up before saying in a low voice, “Since Mr. He doesn’t welcome my Yan, we’ll leave immediately and won’t disturb you again.”

After saying that, she pulled him towards the door.

Li Yan didn’t speak. As he walked over, he glanced at He Zhiqian coldly.

He Zhiqian had always felt that he had never been afraid of anyone, but Li Yan’s gaze made his heart tighten.

And after seeing such a reaction from Chu Luo, whom he admired, he immediately stood up and said in disbelief, “Chu Luo, you actually…”

Secretary Tan stood up and said helplessly, “Uncle, they’re husband and wife.”

He Zhiqian looked at the two of them holding hands in surprise.

“You… how can that be?”

When Chu Luo heard this, anger suddenly rose in her heart.

She stopped and turned to look at He Zhiqian. She let go of Li Yan’s hand and walked up to him. “If not for the fact that I want to become the president of the Student Union, I wouldn’t have approached you. In my eyes, the standards of your Painting Association can’t even compare to a piece of calligraphy written by Yan.”

“You…” He Zhiqian turned red with anger at being belittled.

“Also, your painting could have been saved just now, but you wanted to tear it apart. This only proves that you’re not skilled enough.”

“You…”

How did it feel to be lectured by a child thirty-plus years younger than oneself? He Zhiqian only wanted to spit fire at Chu Luo.

Chu Luo was really angry too. She didn’t intend to give him face at all. “What? Do you think I was wrong?”

“…”

He Zhiqian took a deep breath. If the little girl in front of him was really wrong, he would have something to say. The prerequisite was that she wasn’t wrong and even helped him finish that painting.

Looking at his uncle, who was fuming with anger, Secretary Tan had mixed feelings. At the same time, he realized how aggressive Chu Luo was in protecting his master. He opened his mouth and shut it.

Only Li Yan, who was standing by the door, had retracted his cold aura. If one looked carefully, they would even see the corners of his lips curling up.

After He Zhiqian panted heavily for a while, he said loudly, “Little girl, don’t you know how to respect the old?”

“I know how to, but I don’t respect the old who are not respectable and who look at people with prejudice.”

“Huff… Huff…”

“Uncle, don’t be angry. Chu Luo didn’t say anything wrong.”

“Get lost!”

He Zhiqian was so angry that he laughed. He didn’t expect to fall at the hands of a little girl. He was indignant and felt that it would be difficult to quell that anger without teaching the little girl a lesson. He suppressed his prejudice and said, “I apologize for my actions just now.”

“You should apologize to Yan.”

At this point, Chu Luo walked to Li Yan’s side and continued to say to He Zhiqian, “If you have the ability, you can point out my mistakes, but you’re not allowed to treat Yan with prejudice in front of me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude.”

After saying that, she pulled him out of the door.

Secretary Tan didn’t follow them out immediately. Instead, he looked at He Zhiqian, who had turned pale, with a complicated mood and reminded him, “Uncle, you better not think of making things difficult for Chu Luo. Otherwise…”

He Zhiqian glared at him and snorted heavily.

“…” Secretary Tan looked at him deeply and said, “Uncle, I’ll leave first. You and Aunt should rest early.”

With that, he left.

“Hey… you traitor brat…”

Madam He walked in and interrupted him. “Old He, stop talking. Why do you keep saying things that make people want to punch you in the face?”

He Zhiqian: “…”

…

Chu Luo pulled Li Yan out of the He residence and into the car. Li Yan pulled her into his arms and hugged her. After kissing her ear a few times, he said in a hoarse voice, “Baby, I’m very happy.”

Chu Luo didn’t tell him off this time. Instead, she hugged his back and said angrily, “Mr. He is really outrageous. Just you wait. After I figure out how to enter the Painting Association, I’ll take his position as the president and ruthlessly defeat him in painting!”

When Li Yan heard this, his heart burned. He couldn’t help but kiss her ear a few more times before saying hoarsely, “Okay.”

After saying that, he let go of her and started driving. He couldn’t wait to bully her properly.

“Luoluo, can you stay here tonight?”

“Yes.”

Chu Luo was still angry and didn’t notice Li Yan’s thoughts.

After the car drove back to their house, Chu Luo alighted and was led inside by Li Yan.

The butler was still at Imperial University. The servants were surprised to see the two of them suddenly return.

However, the two of them walked too quickly, and the servants didn’t have time to greet them.

After Li Yan pulled Chu Luo into the bedroom, he couldn’t wait to press her against the back of the door.

Chu Luo looked up at him and blinked her big eyes.

Li Yan looked down into her eyes and said, “I’ve never cared what others said about me.”

Usually, those who had badmouthed him and were heard by him would spend the rest of their lives in regret.

“But I’m glad you were so protective of me tonight…”

At this point, he lowered his head and approached her lips.

Their breaths intertwined.

He continued, “I have nothing to repay you with for protecting me like this. I can only use my body to…”

“Ooh…”

Li Yan made Chu Luo feel his sincerity.

After it ended, Chu Luo was so tired that she couldn’t open her eyes.

Li Yan muttered in her ear, “Luoluo, are you asleep?”

“Mm…”

Li Yan chuckled softly and asked in her ear, “Did you feel my sincerity?”

Chu Luo was so tired that she had fallen asleep.

Li Yan then got out of bed and walked into the study.

At this moment, his face was no longer gentle like before. There was only his usual coldness.

His phone rang at the same time.

“Speak.”

“Master, Wei Xueying gave your photo to Qin Chu from the Qin family.”

Li Yan’s cold gaze stared at the dark night outside the window and he said in a low voice, “Suppress it until Monday.”

“Yes.”

After hanging up, Li Yan dialed another number and gave several orders.

…

The next day, Chu Luo woke up late again. She glared at Li Yan, who had brought her clothes. “Why didn’t you wake me?”

Li Yan touched her red face and smiled. “I’ll wake you up early next time.”

“Hmph!”

“Honey, don’t be angry. I’ll help you get dressed.”

“I don’t need you to help.”

Chu Luo put on her clothes by herself and had just washed up when her phone rang.

Li Yan handed her her phone.

It was a call from Wang Mingtao.

Wang Mingtao said over the phone, “Sister Chu, where are you? We’re preparing to leave now. Come over directly later.”

Chu Luo asked, “Why are you also going?”

“Uh… um, I heard that artists are a little aloof. I’ll cheer you on.”

“I need you to cheer me on? Go to class.”

Before Wang Mingtao could say anything, Mr. Wang’s mocking voice could be heard. “I told you not to follow me and you wouldn’t listen. Let’s see if anyone can subdue you!”

Wang Mingtao retorted in dissatisfaction, “Are you my biological father?”

Mr. Wang: “If I had a daughter like Chu Luo, I would definitely throw you away.”

Wang Mingtao was speechless.

Chu Luo laughed when she heard their bickering. After laughing, she asked, “Uncle Wang, why are you guys so early?”

Mr. Wang took Wang Mingtao’s phone and said with a smile, “I’m going over there to deliver a batch of flowers. I’ll get Mingtao to give you a call first. However, don’t be in a hurry to rush over. Eat your breakfast first and take your time. I can deliver the flowers before bringing you over.”

Chu Luo replied, “Okay, I’ll come over after breakfast.”

“Okay, call me when you come. I’ll rush Mingtao back to school for class.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Chu Luo received a message from Wang Mingtao, who was complaining.

Chu Luo pretended not to see it.

After the two of them had eaten, Li Yan asked Chu Luo, “Baby, do you want me to send you there?”

Chu Luo shook her head.

Li Yan didn’t insist and only said, “I have something to attend to in the capital today. You’re not allowed to sleep too late tonight.”

Chu Luo pouted in dissatisfaction.

Li Yan tilted his head and kissed her cheek. “If our matter explodes in the next few days, what do you want me to do?”

Chu Luo looked at him and blinked. “Are you planning to deal with the Qin family?”

“Mm. It’s about time.”

“In that case, deal with it as you should.”

Li Yan smiled when he heard this.
