After sending off the An Family members, Lu Yichen pulled her back into the house: "How can you be so daring?"
Then he added: "Did you drink some ginger sugar water to ward off the cold the day you returned? Such a big thing and you didn’t even tell me."
Luo Qiao smiled and wrapped her arm around his neck: "It’s been a while since that happened. Look, I’m perfectly fine now. Besides, it was still warm then, don’t worry."
Lu Yichen gently pinched her nose: "You, I really can’t do anything with you."
Looking at the mischievous face of the little woman, in the end, he didn’t say anything and just planted a kiss on her forehead.
He couldn’t bring himself to say she shouldn’t do such things again, or not to save people in the future. Instead, he hugged her close: "Just like you said before, whatever you do, ensure your own safety first."
Luo Qiao understood what he meant.
She softly replied, "Brother Chen, if you don’t leave now, you’ll be late."
Lu Yichen let go of her, reached out and tapped her on the forehead: "Then I’m off. Remember to e over after ten."
Luo Qiao laughed: "This is something you remember well."
Lu Yichen chuckled: "When it’s about happiness for my people, I have to pay attention. Besides, Luo Chen and Luo Xin can’t be left uncared for. We must settle this quickly."
Luo Qiao pushed him from behind, urging him outside: "You think this is simple, just saying to speed things up."
Lu Yichen cooperated with her movements, walking forward: "Isn’t that because I trust my wife’s ability?"
Luo Qiao retorted: "You’re wrong there. If Shen Juan doesn’t like it, there’s nothing I can do about it. Besides, these things can’t be forced."
Lu Yichen laughed: "Then my wife should say a few nice words about Luo Feng to Shen Juan."
After sending Lu Yichen off, Luo Qiao didn’t rest. She continued working, cleaned the beef, and started stewing it. She planned to send some to each household. The braised beef, with the added Spatial Well Water, would taste absolutely amazing.
By around ten, she quickly took a shower to wash off the smell of cooking, then changed clothes to go find Lu Yichen.
When she arrived at Lu Yichen’s office, Luo Feng was already there, and they were discussing business.
Seeing Luo Qiao arrive, Lu Yichen stood up with a smile: "Qiaoqiao, this is Luo Feng."
Luo Qiao looked at the man in front of her. He looked pretty good, but pared to Lu Yichen, he was slightly lacking, haha.
Being adults, there was no need to beat around the bush. Luo Qiao got straight to the point about why she was there.
Luo Feng felt a bit embarrassed at first, but after hearing Luo Qiao finish explaining Shen Juan’s basic situation, he said: "Sister-in-law, when would be convenient for us to meet?"
Luo Qiao didn’t rush to answer Luo Feng’s question and instead asked: "Was your relationship with your late wife a love match or introduced by someone?"
Luo Feng didn’t expect her to ask that: "It was introduced by someone. We dated for over half a year before getting married."
Luo Qiao nodded. She had already asked quite a few questions and felt that Luo Feng had a good character, was tall enough, and looked decent. He passed in her book.
She said: "I haven’t mentioned this to my friend yet. She had an unfortunate marriage before, so I need to be cautious. I hope you understand.
I’ll call her in a bit to ask her to e over. You two can meet first. If you can get along, then see how it goes. If not, that’s fine too."
She initially wanted to explain about Shen Juan, but thought it would be best if that happened naturally in case things didn’t work out. If they clicked, it would be better for Shen Juan to explain herself.
So as she walked out, she dialed Shen Juan’s number: "Hello, can you get Dr. Shen Juan on the phone for me?"
"Who’s calling?"
"I’m her classmate."
"Hold on."
She heard the person answering yell out: "Nurse Qiao, please call Dr. Shen over, she has a call."
After a while, someone came running over: "Hello, this is Shen Juan."
"Shen Juan, it’s Luo Qiao."
"Qiaoqiao, why did you call?"
"I missed you, so I called. Is that okay?"
"Sure, of course. Who would dare say it’s not? What’s up?"
