Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 1018: I Am Your Fiancé

The old Mr. Li used to worry that his grandson might live a lonely life, but now he was completely reassured. He said to Li Hanzhou, "There’s nothing for me to do here anymore. I’ll go back with your grandma tomorrow."

Li Hanzhou tried to persuade him to stay: "Can’t you stay a few more days?"

The old man waved his hand dismissively: "No, staying here ruins the time I have alone with your grandma. With so many third wheels around, we’d better leave quickly."

Li Hanzhou couldn’t help but chuckle. Thinking of himself and Qiao Yun, he immediately understood.

With the brothers of the Lu Family around, he barely had any time alone with Qiao Yun.

...

The old Mr. Li invited Qiao Yun out for tea the very day he returned.

Qiao Yun didn’t decline.

In the teahouse, the old man skillfully brewed and poured tea, then pushed a teacup in front of Qiao Yun with a smile. "Qiaoqiao, I’ll leave this rascal in your hands from now on."

Qiao Yun nodded earnestly. "Grandpa Li, I will."

"We’re family now. Just call me Grandpa."

"Okay."

After pausing for a moment, Qiao Yun opened her mouth and said, "Grandpa."

The old man broke into a wide grin, his eyes crinkling with delight. "This rascal, when he was a kid, he was like a little troublemaker monkey. If you didn’t keep an eye on him, he’d climb trees to steal bird eggs. The mama bird chased him for days. He was so clueless back then, I was worried he’d never find a wife. But I didn’t expect..."

Qiao Yun’s eyes lit up as she looked at Li Hanzhou. She really couldn’t imagine him being such a, um... innocent and adorable child.

Li Hanzhou’s mouth twitched, and he said helplessly, "Grandpa, could you kindly forget things that happened 20 years ago?"

"Not a chance. I even have photos." The old man laughed mercilessly.

Qiao Yun asked sneakily, "Could you send them to me?"

"Of course I can. Once I get back, I’ll look for them and send them to you."

Li Hanzhou chuckled and said, "Hey, if you want pictures of me, I can give them to you anytime."

Qiao Yun shook her head. "I want childhood ones."

Li Hanzhou: "..."

Fine.

The old Mr. Li was apparently in a good mood and shared several embarrassing stories from Li Hanzhou’s childhood.

Qiao Yun listened with great interest. Through the old man’s stories, she glimpsed a different side of Li Hanzhou.

The old man was thoroughly enjoying himself, but as time drew near, he reluctantly stopped talking.

"I have to go now. Qiaoqiao, if you want to hear more, I’ll tell you next time when there’s time."

Qiao Yun obediently said, "Okay."

Li Hanzhou thought to himself, well, as long as his fiancée was happy.

After leaving the tea house, Qiao Yun accompanied Li Hanzhou to send the elderly Li couple to the airport. They didn’t return until they saw the couple board the plane.

On their way back, Qiao Yun received a call from Pei Ya.

"Boss, I’ll be going to K-Port for a few days. I’m already at the airport. If anything comes up during these few days, you can hand it over to Zhou You."

Pei Ya had previously made a deal with Huo Lin. If Huo Lin captured all the people involved in his parents’ car accident, he wouldn’t go after the Huo Group.

Huo Lin was indeed capable. In just over a month, he had rounded them all up—old geezers from Mr. Huo’s era.

This matter could have been left to Huo Lin to handle directly, but Pei Ya still wanted to go in person.

Qiao Yun told him, "Be careful out there."

"I know."

Qiao Yun added, "I’ll be going to O-Continent with Zhouzhou in a few days."

Pei Ya: "???"

The news came so abruptly that he wasn’t prepared for it at all.

"Alright, that’s all. Bye."

And she hung up.

It wasn’t until after hanging up that Qiao Yun remembered: Pei Ya probably didn’t know yet that Han Wang was also heading to O-Continent to resolve her engagement.

The flight seemed to be today; she was probably already there.

Qiao Yun blinked a few times but decided not to meddle in their affairs.

After all, when it came to feelings, she didn’t quite understand them herself.

...

After notifying Qiao Yun, Pei Ya also informed Han Wang.

[Little Wangwang, I’m heading to K-Port. I’ll keep proposing to you when I get back, okay?]

Pei Ya looked at the text message he sent, chuckling mischievously. He figured Little Wangwang would be mad again over this message.

How did he not realize before how deviously he enjoyed teasing Little Wangwang into getting angry?

After sending the message, the boarding announcement was made, so Pei Ya turned off his phone.

Meanwhile, Han Wang just exited the airport when her phone vibrated in her pocket.

She took it out and checked.

Seeing the message from Pei Ya, her expression instantly turned cold.

After a long time, she sighed.

She thought Pei Ya had calmed down and come to his senses, but it turned out he was still clinging on.

She really couldn’t understand why Pei Ya was so persistent. Did he really value purity that much?

"Hello, are you Xiya?"

Han Wang lifted her gaze from the phone and saw a handsome, sharp-featured young man with deep brown hair walking toward her.

The young man extended his hand to her and said meaningfully, "I’m your fiancé, Nolan Andrew. It’s a pleasure to meet you, my fiancée."

He placed special emphasis on the last word.

It was hard to tell if he was genuinely pleased or being more sarcastic.

Han Wang didn’t shake hands with him. Her expression darkened visibly as she asked unceremoniously, "Did they send you to meet me?"

She was irritated that they dared to throw this so-called fiancé in her face without her consent.

They must be courting death!

Nolan studied Han Wang intently and nodded. "Your father informed me that you’d be arriving today. Since you’re my future fiancée, he thought it would be good for us to meet first."

His tone was layered with underlying meaning as he added, "Your appearance meets my aesthetic standards. This marriage isn’t too bad."

Han Wang pulled her lips into a half-smile. "And if I didn’t meet your standards?"

Nolan replied nonchalantly, "For the sake of my family, I’d still marry you. But you’d have to tolerate me finding other women outside."

He said it self-righteously, "If I were unattractive, you wouldn’t be able to tolerate it either, would you?"

Han Wang’s mouth flattened into a hard line.

Excellent. She disliked him upon first sight. No need to show mercy.
