From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 390: Kidnap Qiaoqiao and Take Her Home

Li Yehan kept a close watch on Nan Qiao’s every move, noticing her staring at the person speaking ahead.

"Do you know them?" Li Yehan asked.

"We’ve met before. Lu Wang, Lu Zhengyang’s older half-brother. He also has another half-brother named Lu Chen. Lu Chen and Lu Wang are full brothers. Lu Wang is the eldest, Lu Zhengyang is second, and Lu Chen is the third. I’ve heard Lu Zhengyang is older than Lu Chen. Back in the day, Mrs. Lu was so furious she almost killed Ren Yongshi and that scum Lu Minghui."

"Qiaoqiao, you seem to know quite a bit."

Nan Qiao looked up and smiled at Li Yehan. "Because of Lu Zhengyang—he tried to deceive Deng Bingying emotionally and was two-timing her. So I had someone investigate his background. Ren Yongshi has questionable morals, and she raised Lu Zhengyang into a scumbag. How could I sit back and watch Deng Bingying be deceived?"

As Li Yehan and Nan Qiao were chatting, Lu Wang and his younger brother Lu Chen walked over to greet them.

Both brothers were strikingly handsome, with refined features and towering heights of 1.88 meters. Their tall silhouettes clearly proclaimed their kinship.

However, Lu Wang’s eyes were deep and penetrating, while Lu Chen radiated a friendly aura. Their personalities were starkly different.

Lu Wang spoke first, his tone gentle and courteous: "Lu Chen, this is Miss Nan Qiao, and this is Mr. Li."

Lu Chen extended his hand. "Mr. Li, Miss Nan Qiao, hello."

When Nan Qiao extended her hand, Li Yehan quickly shook Lu Chen’s hand instead. Nan Qiao understood Li Yehan’s intentions and withdrew hers.

This man, his possessiveness was still as strong as ever.

"Mr. Li, Miss Nan Qiao, we won’t disturb your date any longer. Goodbye."

Li Yehan nodded slightly as Lu Wang led Lu Chen back to meet their friends.

Lu Chen asked quietly, "Brother, is that woman the one who keeps humiliating Lu Zhengyang?"

"Yes, it’s her."

"Big Brother, she’s not how I imagined her."

Lu Wang chuckled. "Brother, some people are not just about appearances."

Lu Chen murmured in agreement, and the two continued walking ahead.

...

Li Yehan took Nan Qiao to dine by the window. Sitting there, they could see the sun setting and even spot little squirrels darting past the window.

The dishes were light but flavorful.

Li Yehan ordered a bottle of red wine, and the two toasted each other.

"Li Yehan, the ambiance here is truly lovely."

"As long as you like it."

The two clinked glasses, and Nan Qiao took a sip of her red wine.

"Qiaoqiao, Lu Wang and Lu Chen came up to greet us on purpose—it’s probably to thank you for schooling Lu Zhengyang, right?"

"I didn’t reprimand Lu Zhengyang for their sake. Lu Wang and Lu Chen don’t seem like people lacking shrewdness. When siblings unite, they’re unstoppable. I don’t think Lu Zhengyang and Ren Yongshi will have smooth days ahead."

Li Yehan held his wine glass, his gaze never straying from Nan Qiao—his mind and heart filled with her.

Feeling his intense stare, Nan Qiao set her chopsticks down. "Why are you staring at me like that? Do I have a painting on my face?"

"You’re prettier than any painting. I was just thinking, with someone as clever as Qiaoqiao, how am I supposed to trick you into marrying me in the future?"

"Let’s talk about marriage later. Li Yehan, can you stop bringing up marriage all the time? Aren’t you afraid I’ll develop a phobia and decide never to marry you?"

Li Yehan’s expression froze slightly, and he set down his wine glass.

"Qiaoqiao, I’ll say it less often. I won’t bring it up anymore, but you can’t develop a fear of marriage."

Nan Qiao couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time—Li Yehan was just too overly worried about her.

Nan Qiao didn’t respond and kept eating.

Li Yehan changed the topic, carefully avoiding the subject of marriage.

After their meal, Li Yehan held Nan Qiao’s hand as they strolled near the restaurant, following the riverbank.

As twilight settled, the streetlights lining their way illuminated brightly, spreading warmth around them.

"Qiaoqiao, why don’t you stay at my place tonight?"

Nan Qiao stopped in her tracks, raising her head to look at the earnest Li Yehan.

Li Yehan held her gaze and repeated seriously, "Come home with me."

"Li Yehan, you’re trying to fool me into going home with you. I won’t agree to that."

"Qiaoqiao, I promise I won’t try anything inappropriate."

Nan Qiao kept walking, and Li Yehan quickly caught up, grabbing her hand.

"Qiaoqiao, today is my mother’s death anniversary. I want to bring you back home because if her soul returns, I want to tell her that I’ve found the girl I’d like to spend my life with."

Nan Qiao was taken aback. She had not anticipated this reason from Li Yehan.

Nan Qiao knew Li Yehan’s childhood had been bleak—neglected by Li Tianhong, losing his mother early, with Jiang Linyu trying to trample on him at every opportunity.

And yet, the more they underestimated, vilified, and opposed Li Yehan, the more he proved himself to be the pride of the Li Family.

Thinking of her own past struggles, Nan Qiao clasped Li Yehan’s hand anew. "Alright, I’ll go with you."

Li Yehan’s eyes gleamed with delight as he pulled Nan Qiao into his embrace.

"Qiaoqiao, thank you."

Nan Qiao reached out, returning the hug.

The scene of their embrace was spotted from afar by Lu Chen and Lu Wang.

Lu Chen remarked smugly, "Brother, is Li Yehan serious this time? He actually likes Nan Qiao? If he mistreats her, you should steal her to be my sister-in-law."

"Lu Chen, reel in your thoughts. Don’t you see what Nan Qiao means to Li Yehan? In all these years he’s spent in business, have you ever seen him show this kind of enthusiasm for a woman? Have you seen him with anyone close enough to call a confidante?"

"No," Lu Chen admitted honestly.

"So can you finally grasp Nan Qiao’s importance in Li Yehan’s heart?"

Lu Wang’s rhetorical question brought clarity to Lu Chen’s mind.

"Brother, I get it now. Li Yehan’s feelings for Nan Qiao are genuine love!"

"Now that you understand, stop talking nonsense in the future, got it?"

"I understand, Brother. Rest assured, I promise I won’t say anything stupid about wanting Nan Qiao to be my sister-in-law again."

Lu Wang: "..."

Lu Wang added, "Let’s head back. Mom’s waiting for us at home. Did you pack the dishes I asked for?"

"I packed them all, Brother. Let’s go home."

Lu Wang cast one last glance in the direction of Nan Qiao and Li Yehan before walking away.

...

Li Yehan took Nan Qiao out to buy plenty of midnight snacks, then they returned to his home, which he hadn’t recently visited.

The butler had already instructed the servants to go to bed early, ensuring they wouldn’t disturb the master and madam’s date.

Anyone who dared come out would pack their bags to leave.

When Nan Qiao and Li Yehan arrived, the house was quiet and devoid of people.

Li Yehan explained, "Qiaoqiao, I had them rest early, so no one is around. If you need anything, I’ll call them."

"No need. Too many people make me uncomfortable anyway."

Li Yehan put their items down, turned on the TV.

"Qiaoqiao, shall we watch a movie?"

Nan Qiao nodded, sipping her milk tea as she leaned against the sofa, waiting pleasantly for the movie.

Li Yehan made his selection. The TV’s screen flickered to life, and a smile lingered on Nan Qiao’s face.

Suddenly, her smile vanished, and she let out a loud yell.

"Li Yehan, what are you doing!"
