Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 1011: Unforgivable! Someone was allowed to track first!
"The informant reported back. They’ve come out, and it’s just the two of them."
The man who said this stared at his phone with a sinister glint in his eyes, then gave instructions to the people behind him.
"Wait until they’ve come out, then quietly follow them. Look for the right opportunity to snatch them."
A small, shifty-eyed lackey asked, "Boss, what about the other person?"
"Take them both."
The leading man spat a curse. "Damn it, it’s just an engagement, but they’re acting like it’s a presidential motorcade. Brothers, once we pull this off, we’ll all be rolling in cash."
Professor Qiao is hot property right now. Just thinking about all that bounty money is enough to make you laugh in your sleep.
What they didn’t know, though, was that they weren’t the only ones with their eyes on Professor Qiao.
...
Meanwhile, Li Hanzhou and Qiao Yun had barely slipped away when Su Mian realized they were gone.
"Where’s the main attraction of tonight’s event?"
Her gaze swept across the venue, but there wasn’t even a trace of a sleeve to be seen.
Lu Rui said with a laugh, "Maybe they’re hiding somewhere whispering sweet nothings."
Lu Zhanxing looked at him, speechless. "Li Hanzhou took my sister and bolted ages ago. And here you two, as parents, didn’t even notice."
He had been keeping an eye on his sister. The moment she left, he had noticed but decided to act like he hadn’t.
Su Mian scolded gently, "Those two! The party isn’t over yet, and they’ve already left."
Though she said this, there wasn’t a hint of reproach in her eyes.
Once Su Mian pointed it out, everyone noticed that the main couple of the evening had made an early departure. But no one minded—they all understood. After all, it was the first flush of love.
Well, except for Pei Ya, who didn’t understand at all. He lamented with a frown, "The boss left without even telling me. So this is what it feels like to have a stepmom and a stepdad?"
He turned to Han Wang for agreement, only to see Han Wang downing his glass of red wine in one gulp.
Pei Ya froze for a moment and hurriedly said, "Little Wangwang, you drink?"
Well, he had never seen Han Wang drink before, let alone so boldly.
"I don’t." Han Wang said as he picked up another glass and downed it. He didn’t look the least bit like someone who didn’t drink.
"You don’t drink, but you’re drinking? Careful, you’ll get drunk."
Pei Ya’s fingers twitched as if he was about to snatch the glass from Han Wang.
Han Wang gave him a light, cold glance.
His gaze, icy and filled with a hint of menace.
Pei Ya: "..."
Fine, drink. Drink as much as you want. If I so much as make a peep, I’m not human.
Only then did Han Wang look away, letting out a cold chuckle. "I don’t get drunk."
Pei Ya clicked his tongue and shook his head in disbelief.
Han Wang felt conflicted and really didn’t want to bother with Pei Ya.
Pei Ya said, "Go ahead, drink all you want. If you get drunk, I’ll take care of you."
As it turned out, it wasn’t Han Wang who got drunk—it was Pei Ya who drank himself under the table first.
Now completely drunk, Pei Ya, in a haze of confusion, clung to Lu Zhanxing, who vaguely resembled Qiao Yun. Crying rivers, he wailed, "Mom, don’t abandon me! I’ll be good, I promise..."
Lu Zhanxing: "..."
Someone, please save me.
Nephew, look closely. I’m your uncle, not your mother.
In the end, it was Han Wang who yanked Pei Ya up by the back of his collar. With an expressionless face, he told Lu Zhanxing, "I’ll handle this."
The tone of his voice made it sound like he was out for revenge.
Lu Zhanxing escaped Pei Ya’s clutches, heaving a deep sigh of relief. Seeing the dazed look in Han Wang’s eyes, he asked with concern, "Professor Han, are you alright?"
Han Wang smiled faintly. "I’m fine."
Lu Zhanxing immediately fell silent.
His sister rarely smiled, but when she did, she was sweet and adorable.
But when this cold-as-ice Professor Han smiled, it made you feel like the end of your life was near.
Han Wang didn’t notice Lu Zhanxing’s expression. He grabbed Pei Ya by the collar and began dragging him away.
Pei Ya spun around and clung to Han Wang, wailing, "Mom, you’re back again? You just couldn’t bear to leave me, could you?"
Han Wang, cold-faced, clamped his hand around Pei Ya’s neck, keeping him at a distance.
He blinked.
What do you do when someone’s drunk?
Right, when you’re drunk, you should sleep.
After sleeping, you’ll sober up.
He let go of Pei Ya’s neck and instead grabbed the front of his shirt. Without leaving any room for argument, he said, "Come on, time for bed."
Pei Ya mumbled an "oh" and groggily followed him.
...
Qiao Yun got into the car and glanced sideways at Li Hanzhou in the driver’s seat.
The man turned to look at her at the same time and said in a meaningful tone, "Professor Qiao, from today on, you’re my fiancée."
Qiao Yun hadn’t felt shy earlier, but NOW, for some reason, her face was starting to burn.
Li Hanzhou’s smile grew wider. "Embarrassed?"
Qiao Yun shot him a glance, then, thinking of something, she said seriously, "Why didn’t you kiss me?"
"..."
Li Hanzhou almost choked on his own saliva.
Professor Qiao, always so direct and fierce.
Qiao Yun explained, "After the engagement ceremony, there’s always a kiss. That’s what the research says."
Li Hanzhou wasn’t about to let anyone else witness Qiao Yun’s adorable side. Without a word, he pinched her chin.
"Qiaoqiao..."
Qiao Yun made a soft sound in reply, but before she could say anything else, the man’s fervent kiss drowned out the rest of her words.
This time was different.
The kiss was urgent and passionate.
In the small confines of the car, Qiao Yun felt enveloped by Li Hanzhou’s presence, a sensation that left her feeling slightly peculiar.
The kiss lasted for a long while.
Finally, Li Hanzhou bit down lightly on Qiao Yun’s lip and asked, "Satisfied now?"
Qiao Yun steadied her breathing before responding seriously, "It’s okay, I guess."
"Just okay?" Li Hanzhou raised an eyebrow. "Then let’s go again."
Qiao Yun, not one to be led so easily, turned her head and asked, "Where are we going?"
Li Hanzhou assumed she was just being shy and replied with a lazy tone, "Taking you home."
Qiao Yun gave a soft "oh" but said nothing, merely signalling him to drive.
Li Hanzhou chuckled. Clearly, Professor Qiao hadn’t grasped what he meant by "home."
He didn’t explain, planning instead to give her a surprise.
...
From the shadows, several heads peeked out of the corner, watching Li Hanzhou drive away with Qiao Yun.
"Should we follow them?" Han Four squinted as he muttered.
Han Three adjusted his glasses and said, "Big Sis is really going to kill someone, isn’t she?"
The brothers exchanged nervous glances.
"Uh... maybe?"
"Probably?"
Han Two pointed something out: "What are you all even talking about? Didn’t you notice Big Sis is already gone?"
It was only after this reminder that they realized.
Oh, right. Neither Big Sis nor Pei Ya was anywhere to be seen. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"Where’s Big Sis?"
"I think I saw her leave with Pei Ya."
Han Four shivered. "Even though she’s not here, I still feel like Big Sis is glaring at me."
"Should we just go back?"
"That’s no fun. Nobody’s keeping an eye on us for once."
"Yeah, but you don’t want a moment of fun to turn into a trip to the crematorium later, do you?"
While they hesitated about whether to follow or not, Han Three suddenly spotted something.
A car was sneaking after Qiao Yun and Li Hanzhou. His eyes went sharp. "Not good. Someone’s tailing Professor Qiao!"
The brothers quickly turned to look.
Well, well. It was worse than they imagined.
So many cars tailing them today—what was this, a festival?
And judging by the situation, these people weren’t all on the same side.
The Han brothers were dumbfounded at first, then furious: "Unforgivable! How dare they get ahead of us!"
"Outrageous! Only we’re allowed to follow Professor Qiao!"
"Can you hear yourself? We’re not following—we’re protecting."
"Right, protecting. Professor Qiao is in danger. Let’s drag them out!"
"Destroy them!"
...
Ahem, by the way, has anyone noticed? Little Wang and Pei Ya seem to have entered the "sleep first, love later" phase...
