Marry Me Quick

Chapter 802 Every Time You Change the Lock, I'll Open It by Picking It

Lu Qingyou was very close to the Bai brothers. They all had one thing in common-they were protective of their loved ones.

Although initially, she didn't think she was as close to Bai Yeqi as the other two, she actually was.

Although Lu Qingyou had grown up with privileges, this did not imply that she was ignorant of the world.

She knew how capable they were, but she didn't want to make a big deal out of it. She tugged at Bai Yeqi's sleeve and said, "Just scare him a little."

Bai Yeqi raised an eyebrow in response, clearly unsatisfied with Lu Qingyou's proposed solution.

The middle-aged man had a vague impression that Bai Yeqi looked familiar. He didn't appear to be an ordinary person based on his appearance and aura. He cast a wary eye over the two of them and asked, "Do you know her? Who are you to her?"

He had been staring at the new intern in the company for a long time.

Lu Qingyou usually wore expensive clothes and carried designer bags.

At first, he was a little worried because, in Jingcheng City, even a billboard falling down could potentially hit a celebrity.

But after a while, he realized that Lu Qingyou was serious about her work and didn't drive an expensive car, so he let go of his worries.

He thought Lu Qingyou was one of those materialistic girls who liked luxury clothes and bags, so he took the opportunity to make a move on her, but he didn't expect Bai Yeqi to intervene.

"You're not worthy enough to know who I am. You've just messed with someone you shouldn't mess with. Just wait and see," Bai Yeqi said arrogantly.

He couldn't really do anything to Lu Qingyou's boss; at best, he could subjugate the company where Lu Qingyou was interning. For Bai Yunan, however, things were different.

Everyone knew that Bai Yunan treated Lu Qingyou like his own daughter.

The situation at hand was confusing enough for the middle-aged man.

However, neither Bai Yeqi nor Lu Qingyou offered him any explanations. They had already gotten into the car and left.

The middle-aged man stood there for a moment, then slapped his own head, suddenly remembering where he had seen Bai Yeqi before. His face instantly turned pale.

The car ride was extremely quiet.

Playing with her fingers, Lu Qingyou looked pitiful as she looked at Bai Yeqi. "Yeqi, don't tell Yunan."

Bai Yeqi snorted coldly and remained silent.

Lu Qingyou knew Bai Yunan's temper. Moreover, when she first interned at that company, Bai Yunan didn't have high expectations for her. Now that this happened, Bai Yunan would definitely scold her again. Seeing Bai Yeqi's silence, Lu Qingyou reached out and grabbed his arm. "Yeqi—"

"Tsk!"

She happened to grab Bai Yeqi's injured arm, causing him to hiss coldly as his expression changed.

Lu Qingyou quickly let go of his hand and looked at him worriedly. "What happened?"

"It's nothing. It's just a minor injury," Bai Yeqi shook his head and said in a calm voice.

"Did you see a doctor?" Lu Qingyou asked while nodding.

Bai Yeqi lowered his gaze. Lu Qingyou's eyes were clear and pure. When she was a little girl, she was the most popular girl in the neighborhood. She was a little tough, but she always had a smile for everyone As for himself, he was an outcast in the neighborhood, and everyone kept their distance from him.

Lu Qingyou, however, was different. She would call him "Yeqi" affectionately every time she saw him.

She had always been intelligent since she was a child. When he was seventeen or eighteen years old and rebellious, he got into fights outside, and Lu Qingyou saw it and helped him to cover it up by lying. Putting aside his thoughts, his tone softened a bit. "Yes, I've been to the doctor. Everything's fine."

"Oh."

Lu Qingyou lowered her head and continued to fiddle with her fingers.

She was really afraid of being scolded by Bai Yunan. He wouldn't hurt her physically, but he was still very intimidating.

Another reason was that she felt she was becoming increasingly emotional. If Bai Yunan scolded her, she might cry, which would be embarrassing.

Silently, the two of them made their way back to the Bai Residence.

Bai Yeqi halted in his tracks as they approached the courtyard of the Bai Residence and turned to face Lu Qingyou. "Everyone used to keep their distance from me in the past. What made you want to befriend me?"

Lu Qingyou was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him. "That's because you are my friend. Those people ostracized you because they were jealous that you were born into the Bai family; and besides, you're really nice."

I'm really nice?

Bai Yeqi chuckled and said, "Alright, I won't tell Yunan about today's incident."

Lu Qingyou's eyes widened in shock. "Really? Thank you, Yeqi! You'll always be my sweet Yeqi."

"You're welcome." Bai Yeqi smiled deeply.

Did she think Bai Yunan wouldn't learn the truth if he kept quiet?

Bai Yunan always had someone report Lu Qingyou's situation to him, but Lu Qingyou was unaware of this at the time.

So, even if he didn't say anything, Bai Yunan would be aware of her predicament.

Mrs. Lu questioned Lu Qingyou about her sudden return when she arrived home. She made up a reason and brushed it off. However, she was still a little worried that Mrs. Lu would ask too much. She inadvertently said she had eaten dinner and left.

Just like that, she lost her first job, and when she thought back on it, she felt a little disappointed.

She spent the afternoon eating until she was stuffed at the food court before going back to her own place.

And Cheng Qiulu had texted her earlier, saying she would be home late because there was a company get-together.

In comparison, she seemed incredibly pitiful, having almost been forced into doing something by her boss.

She let herself go, packing two pounds of crawfish and buying a few bottles of beer before slowly walking back.

To find solace, she turned to overeating.

As soon as she entered the door, she felt a presence in the room, but it wasn't dangerous.

She used her chin to push the light switch and turned on the light. Then she kicked the door with her foot and cautiously walked in.

"Qiulu, is that you?"

On second thought, she doubted it would be Cheng Qiulu. Lu Qingyou had told Cheng Qiulu before that if she came back early, she should call Lu Qingyou as they had plans to eat out. But Cheng Qiulu hadn't called her, so she had to come back alone with takeout.

She placed the crawfish and beer on the table and was about to go pour a glass of water when she heard the sound of the door opening behind her.

She turned around to see a tall figure leaning against the door frame of her bedroom, arms crossed, staring at her.

His hair was still wet, and he was dressed in dark grey home clothes as if he had just gotten out of the shower.

Lu Qingyou's mouth hung open, and she was slow to respond. "You-What are you doing here?"

How did he get in? I remember locking the door!

"This lock? Every time you change the lock, I'll open it by picking it." Bai Yunan walked toward her as he spoke.

He walked to the table, opened a can of beer for himself, and then started eating the crawfish with gloves on as if he were in his own home.

Lu Qingyou frowned and glared at him, clearly annoyed.

He forced open her door while continuing to act so arrogantly. It was vexing no matter how she looked at it.

When Bai Yunan noticed that she remained still, he asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Lu Qingyou only bought them because they seemed delicious even though she was already full.

She cocked her head to the side and remarked, "You can eat them."

The two of them hadn't seen each other in several days since Bai Yunan showed up at her house drunk the last time.
