Chapter 90.1
Editor: Jodi
On the second day of the lunar new year, the old butler had personally intended to return the gifts sent by the Yang family’s Second Young Master and then offer some compensation. Unexpectedly, the Yang family’s Second Young Master showed up in person ahead of schedule.
–First, to retrieve the gifts and second, to meet Li Qingzhou.
However the old butler stopped him at the entrance of the Li family’s Old Mansion, telling him apologetically, “I’m sorry, Second Young Master Yang, our Old Master didn’t communicate properly with the Eldest young master and only just found out that he already has someone he likes.”
“The relationship was just confirmed recently, and they haven’t been dating long.”
“And this gentleman came to our house for the New Year and both families are aware and have given their permission, so, you see, Second Young Master Yang….”
The implication of the old butler’s words was that it was inconvenient for Second Young Master Yang Lan to enter.
Yang Lan, handsome with distinctive, charming peach blossom eyes, had a flirtatious and passionate demeanor when he smiled. In reality, he was indeed passionate, especially fond of delicate and frail-looking men.
He didn’t pay much attention to the old butler’s words, driven more by curiosity, so after listening to him, he said, “Previously, the Li family’s Eldest young master refused the arranged meeting, rejecting it.”
“Then, because of the gift I sent, Old Master Li invited me for a meal and I was all prepared to come over, yet your family’s Old Master Li then said to cancel…”
“I suppose the reason for the cancellation is because of this gentleman who has suddenly visited?”
Who was the Eldest young master of the Li family dating?
With those legs….. if he was with someone, then it could only be with someone who was below him.
However the Eldest young master of the Li family wasn’t simple.
So exactly what kind of person could possibly tame someone so successful in business, decisive in action, and formidable in his means?
Yang Lan was originally very interested in meeting Li Qingzhou, but now, he was even more curious about the person Li Qingzhou was dating.
He wasn’t too concerned about the cancellation of the dinner.
It was just a verbal agreement between Old Master Li and his parents, not a formal matchmaking meeting, but a return of a favor.
Moreover the gifts had been sent at the urging of his family, so it was just a token gesture.
However his insistence on visiting the Li family’s Old Mansion was purely out of curiosity to see both Li Qingzhou and his partner.
The old butler smiled without denying anything, repeating, “The situation is unexpected, my apologies, Second Young Master Yang.” However he still didn’t mention letting him in.
Yang Lan waved it off: “It’s nothing, but I’ve heard that Service One that participated in the AI international robot competition is currently with Old Master Li.”
“To be honest, I’m a fan of robots. I watched every match of the competition and really want to experience Service One’s intelligence level up close…..”
“I wonder if Old Master Li would grant me this wish. I’ll stay just for a while and won’t cause any disturbance.”
Him saying he was a fan of robots was merely just an excuse. He hadn’t even watched much of the competition.
However the Second Young Master of the Yang family had always been thick skinned, and so at this moment said these words effortlessly without his face turning red and with such straightforwardness that the old butler found it hard to refuse.
And so after asking Old Master Li, he led him inside.
Yang Lan was a little disappointed when he didn’t see Li Qingzhou and his lover inside the mansion.
However he perked up while chatting with Service One, increasingly amazed by its level of intelligence.
Old Master Li sat relaxed, sipping tea on the sofa.
The reason why he had agreed to let the Yang family’s Second Young Master in was because Li Qingzhou and Liu Bohuai had taken the two children for a stroll in the small garden.
–The winter plum blossoms were at their peak, a scenery that wasn’t to be missed.
It wasn’t long before Second Young Master Yang took his leave.
However before he left, he heaped compliment upon compliments on Service One then asked when such service robots would be available for purchase as he desperately wanted to buy one.
Old Master Li responded with a smile, telling him that when the service robots became available on the market, he would definitely inform the Yang family and give him one for free at that time.
Then following behind the old butler, Yang Lan made his way out.
Although he was a little disappointed that he didn’t see Li Qingzhou and his lover, his encounter with Service One had been unexpectedly pleasant.
However just as he was turning a corner, he suddenly heard an unfamiliar male voice.
The voice first caught his ear, then lingered in his mind,
And subconsciously, he began to draw a picture of the owner of the voice in his head — a deep low and magnetic voice, he was definitely handsome.
He just didn’t know if it was the Li family’s Eldest young master or….
Then he couldn’t help but pause and look in the direction of the voice, only to see two people.
–The two of them were facing away from him, one moving forward slowly while the other backed up then reached out in a protective gesture to support him, taking care of him carefully.
The voice just now had come from the one who was reaching out to hold the other person.
Liu Bohuai: “Slowly, slowly.”
Li Qingzhou nodded his head.
[No~ I can walk faster, even quicker, watch me stride with vigor!]
–Then the little guy in the bubble, wearing sunglasses and dressed coolly with a silver chain around his neck and hands in his pockets, walked forward, then backwards, then to the left then to the right, then back and back, back and forth, back and forth.
“……”
Liu Bohuai looked at the little guy in the bubble without a trace then looked at Li Qingzhou who looked obedient on the surface and inside, his sighs were no less frequent than his sense of helplessness.
Then his chin tilted, trying to suppress the curve that was trying to form from him laughing out of anger, his hand that was hovering in the air to support him suddenly held Li Qingzhou’s arm, then he applied a little force.
“Huh?”
Li Qingzhou only had time to let out a short sound before he stumbled forward, and then was immediately enveloped tightly in Liu Bohuai’s arms. Then he felt the chest beneath his cheek vibrate and heard a deep voice ring in his ear with a slight smirk in it: “I told you to walk slowly, look, you almost fell.”
“….”
[Stinky Ah Huai! It was you who pulled me! Otherwise I was walking just fine, hmph!]
–The little guy in the bubble snorted as he crossed his arms, pouting as he glared at him.
And lifting his head, he was just about to say something when he heard a dry cough from not far away and turning, he saw the old butler.
And standing behind him, was a young man who was staring at them with unblinking eyes.
[Who is this?]
Li Qingzhou was puzzled.
And as if noticing his Eldest Young Master’s confusion, the Old Butler opened his mouth to introduce briefly: “Eldest Young Master, Mr. Liu, this is the Yang Family’s Second Young Master….”
Then after a pause, he added, “The Second Young Master Yang is quite fond of Service One and so came to have a look.”
It was then Li Qingzhou reacted.
[Oh, it’s him, the one who was almost set up for a blind date with me.]
Liu Bohuai’s hand that was holding him tightened once more, the look in his eyes deep as he looked at Yang Lan.
And Li Qingzhou, with a light expression, simply nodded slightly to Yang Lan after he heard the Old Butler’s introduction, not saying anything.
