Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack
Chapter 1362 - 1342: Farewell to Jimo Cheng
At dawn the next day, Luo Qianqian handed An Hao and He Wenyu over to Yan, and then chose to go alone to the small building from yesterday.
The morning was indeed very hectic, especially in this building, bustling up and down, extremely busy. The people passing by her all gave her glances.
Luo Qianqian stood calmly by the roadside looking towards the entrance, ignoring the gazes around her.
"You really came back to find me." A voice sounded. Luo Qianqian looked up, slightly opening her mouth, full of disbelief.
The eyes in front of her were very familiar, but the face had darkened significantly, looked much more tired and very thin, barely resembling the once gentle and jade-like nobleman.
His attire was not as it used to be, now wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans, the most ordinary crew cut, with no sign of intentional dressing up, yet he still carried a noble aura, his presence not affected by his surroundings or attire.
If He Wenyu were here, he might not recognize that this person was Jimo Cheng.
"How did you return from this side?" Luo Qianqian took a deep breath, slightly curved her lips and looked into Jimo Cheng’s eyes.
"I took some leave, I guessed you would come back." Jimo Cheng tugged at his lips, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes.
Luo Qianqian was taken aback, but continued to smile: "Then, will Brother Cheng accompany me for breakfast?"
"I’d be delighted." Jimo Cheng nodded, led Luo Qianqian twisting and turning through the alley to a breakfast stand. There weren’t many people, but it looked quite clean.
The breakfast they bought was sandwiches and hot dogs, not the soy milk and fried dough sticks Luo Qianqian had imagined.
After buying breakfast, they went to sit in the park. Luo Qianqian didn’t feel anything special, quietly eating breakfast, and after finishing, wiped her mouth: "The taste is not bad."
"Yeah, for this price, it’s the best taste." Jimo Cheng nodded, put the last bite in his mouth, then looked at Luo Qianqian: "Why did you come here?"
"...Um, I came here for other matters, happened to meet Old Master Tang on the road, so we came together." Luo Qianqian didn’t hide anything, after all, she didn’t deliberately investigate the affairs of their grandfather and grandson.
Jimo Cheng nodded knowingly, "Grandpa didn’t tell me you came over."
"I thought so too." Luo Qianqian smiled calmly: "Otherwise, why would Elder Tang urge us to leave the Sun Sea, not wanting others to see us?"
"Aren’t you curious?" Jimo Cheng wasn’t surprised by Luo Qianqian’s insight, instead, he laughed.
"Curious, but I won’t ask; if you want to tell, you will naturally tell me." Luo Qianqian sat naturally to the side, watching the sun fully rise: "Did Grandpa Kong say the bank card was lost?"
Jimo Cheng paused, then nodded: "Yes, otherwise he wouldn’t have been buying a house to enjoy his old age, right?"
"Then why not find me?" Luo Qianqian looked at him puzzled, then teased: "Is my contact information lost too?"
"...Yes, it’s lost." Unexpectedly, Jimo Cheng followed along with what Luo Qianqian said.
"If I can help with anything, let me know." Luo Qianqian frowned tightly, not understanding Jimo Cheng’s current attitude.
If the other party wasn’t single and was deliberately maintaining a distance from her, the photos in the room couldn’t explain it?
If the other party was single, then why would he not accept her help?
Don’t tell her it’s about a man’s self-esteem or dignity.
Their relationship was not simple enough to be summed up in one sentence, like family or friends, or maybe even close to being family.
"If I tell you, can you handle it?" Who knows, Jimo Cheng looked very calmly at Luo Qianqian and said, with a flash of mockery in his eyes that left Luo Qianqian perplexed.
He turned his head to look at the sunlight, slightly squinting his eyes: "You’ve grown up."
Luo Qianqian looked at him surprised, then nodded: "Yes."
Jimo Cheng smiled, turned to look at Luo Qianqian, his face showing a bit of the arrogance and dominance from the past: "Then what capacity do you want to intervene in my affairs? Or rather...what qualification do you have to meddle in my life?"
Luo Qianqian opened her mouth but didn’t answer his question for a long time.
"You should grow up, you’re not a superhero, you can’t manage everyone’s life." Jimo Cheng reached out, ruffled Luo Qianqian’s hair, stood up, back to Luo Qianqian. There was now a bit more desolation and solitude in his back: "Go, don’t come back. I hope you live well, this kind of place isn’t suitable for you, stay in the Capital City, don’t run around, I’m going to work."
After speaking, he didn’t stay any longer, turned around and walked away, leaving without a glance.
Luo Qianqian sat on the bench dazed for a long time before standing up.
Bitterly smiling: "Am I being disliked? I’m not a superhero... Heh, not suitable for me?" She shook her head amusingly.
What kind of environment is suitable for her? Is it the university life? She’s already graduated, right?
Besides, she’s experienced harsher lives than here.
Whether it was going to Big Black and Xiao Hei’s territory for Body Refinement and Cultivation or going to Southern Li to witness the ruthlessness of the Imperial Clan, she’s been through it all, so why say she’s not suitable for this kind of environment?
Perhaps only Jimo Cheng still considers her a child? Even though she’s an adult, he would still remind her not to run around, even forbidding her to go abroad...
She sighed softly, watched the scene in the park for a while, then Luo Qianqian calmly turned and returned to the hotel.
"Did you meet the person?" Surprisingly, at the hotel downstairs, she saw Mo.
After a slight pause, she nodded.
Mo casually ruffled the top of Luo Qianqian’s head, with a peculiar look in his eyes, which disappeared in an instant, he smiled: "Can’t communicate, don’t know where to find food."
Luo Qianqian hurriedly took him to have breakfast, and while doing so, packed some to take back to the room. When she returned to the room and saw An Hao’s unhappy face, she was immediately helpless and quickly sought someone to deal with this clingy nuisance!
The others didn’t ask Luo Qianqian anything, only after sending Elder Tang to the airport did they continue investigating the Blood Clan and the church affair. Who knew, after just two days, they received news that the Sanctuary Alliance had sent people to station in Alliance Country, suddenly frowning slightly, she instinctively took people to the embassy.
After revealing their identity, they inquired about the country’s news.
Hearing Luo Qianqian’s name, the local embassy staff breathed a sigh of relief and accommodated them.
A few hours later, they saw their compatriots appear at their door.
"Miss Luo, I am Huang Ren, I am from the State Security Department."
