Chapter 93: Gungun, Are You Lost?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Qiao often got lost in her thoughts whenever Lu Xiaogun mentioned anything about protecting her... Even though she felt touched, it was still a rather strange experience for her.

And what was that umbrella he mentioned before?! Why did he even bring it up? Again, she found herself recalling and thinking about what Lu Xiaogun had said.

!!!

“Lu Xiaogun! How do you know about the function of an umbrella?!”

Wow! That kid was an expert, huh!?

“There is nothing that I don’t know.” Lu Xiaogun replied arrogantly.

“Oh, wait! Does that mean that if I get pregnant, the kid will be you, Xiaogun?! You’ll still be my son, right?” That was the main point! Ye Qiao got so excited to the point where her body trembled. The thought of Xiaogun becoming her son in the future was truly exciting!

“Xiaogun?” Apparently, the kid ignored her again!

“Qiao Qiao! We should board now!” Zhou Peng called her from somewhere closeby. Watching her, Ye Qiao secretly hoped that Zhou Peng and Xiao Dong could help her keep her relationship with Lu Beixiao a secret.

“Xiaogun, I’m gonna switch off my phone now. I’ll remember your reminder! You gotta follow me to J City, alright? That’s our future home!” Ye Qiao talked gently to the phone as she suppressed her excitement.

Only until the plane was ready to take off did she finally switch off her mobile phone with a heavy heart. It was truly wonderful that Xiaogun would still be her child.

It was even more amazing to know that he did not want to be reborn yet because he wanted to protect her. He was such a nice kid!

Ye Qiao understood that she had to be stronger before Xiaogun was born in order to be capable of protecting him and herself this time!

In her previous life, she was pregnant with Lu Xiaogun when she was 22, and she also lost him in the same year. She did not want to accept his existence and wished for a miscarriage the moment she found out about her pregnancy. Besides that, she was not cautious and did whatever she wanted as though she was not a pregnant mother... that was why she lost Xiaogun in the past after a bad fall at the shop she started with Li Yun.

She was certainly depressed for a while after the miscarriage...

***

Ye Qiao quickly switched on her mobile phone as soon as she disembarked; however, she did not hear from Lu Xiaogun.

Then, she searched for a quiet corner and sent a message to Lu Beixiao’s pager.

“I’m back in J City, Brother Xiao! Love you! Muack!”

She meant it from the bottom of her heart when she said ‘love you’.

“Mummy loves you too, Gungun!” She talked to the phone with a gentle smile on her face. She took a deep breath as she raised her chin and looked at the blue sky of J City as she exhaled. She was now emotionally ready.

“Ye Qiao! Go, go, go!” She shouted in her heart.

***

As expected, Ye Zhenzhen returned to her home when Ye Qiao was not around. In the old days, her existence was to magnify Ye Qiao’s naivety as she came from an unknown village.

Anyway, her grandfather loved all the local food she brought along from her hometown, such as corn flour noodles, dried potatoes, dried carrots, pickles, etc. Those were very common snacks amongst the farmers, but it was more valuable to the seniors than the premium food like seafood!

She also delivered a small portion to the seniors who lived next door. Coincidentally, the old couple was not there that day; hence, she passed it to the helper who worked for the Lu family.

Just as she stepped out of the Lu family’s compound, she bumped into Lu Beichi, who was sweaty as he just finished playing basketball.

“What are you doing at my place, Ye Qiao?!” Lu Beichi was stunned when he first saw Ye Qiao, but he managed to recognize her very soon. The young boy with a basketball in his hand behaved the same way as before. He often provoked Ye Qiao, who he saw as a traitor, and behaved very cautiously every time he met her!

He had not seen her for a long time; the last time that they met was the night when he blocked her path beside the basketball court.

That silly girl looked quite pretty... how did he not notice it back then? More importantly, she even smiled at him and had a very sweet smile!

In fact, Ye Qiao wanted to meet Lu Beichi. Hence, it was good to see him. “I’m here to deliver some food to your grandparents as I just returned from my hometown! Anyway, I have something to discuss with you too. Are you available now?”

A discussion? Did he mishear her?

Ye Qiao used to trick him most of the time, so Lu Beichi looked at her with doubts that did not surprise Ye Qiao at all! She blamed herself for being too mischievous in her previous life. It was because of her actions that Lu Beichi started to doubt her.

“What’s up?” Lu Beichi asked arrogantly as he punched the basketball to the ground and let it bounce back into his hand.

How arrogant was the guy? Haha...

“I remember that your apartment has several rooms... could you let my brother stay with you?” She wanted Qiao Tian to stay there to keep him away from the mafias. Additionally, he could save some money from rental, and most importantly, there was a computer in the apartment. Qian Tian studied Computer Science, so he needed a computer. However, computers had yet to become common at that time, and most people could not afford one. Only rich kids like Lu Beichi would be able to own one.

In fact, Brother Xiao would have got the matter solved for her easily. However, she did not want to trouble Brother Xiao as she thought that he was probably very busy since he had not called her for two days. Moreover, Lu Beixiao was caught and punished by Lao Cai a while ago because of her... Perhaps, she had caused him enough trouble. Besides, she wished to be able to stand on her own amongst the nobles.

Did she really mean it? “Are you not clear about the rules among noble families?” Lu Beichi remained arrogant.

“I get it! Are you trying to challenge me, Lu Beichi? Let’s allow our fists to do the talking, shall we?” Ye Qiao asked as she gazed at the arrogant boy and folded her arms below her chest.

Ye Qiao was wondering if Lu Xiaogun would help her if she got into a fight with Lu Beichi. The boy’s mother was supposed to be more important than his uncle, right?

“Ha!” Lu Beichi snorted. “I have never fought with a woman!”

That was the rule set by Lu Beixiao when he was the head of the youths among the noble family members! Although Lu Beichi followed it well enough, he lacked the charisma which only Brother Xiao possessed.

“What now?!” Ye Qiao asked as she folded her arms below her chest again.

Lu Beichi punched the basketball again before he continued, “Since we can’t fight, what about a match? Since you’re a girl, how about a free-throw challenge? Actually, I think you should just give up, Ye Qiao!”

“Sure!” Ye Qiao agreed. She had Xiaogun to help her, so why would she fear him!?

Lu Beichi smiled at her reply. “Hey, stop kidding around. I’ll kneel in front of you if you can score three out of ten shots!”

“Lu Beichi! Remember your promise!” Ye Qiao continued, “I’ll see you in three days! I’ll be the winner if I can score six out of ten, deal? Remember to get your buddies to witness it. You are going to have to call me Master Qiao!”

‘Did she really think that she could master the skills in three days? Forget about it!’ Lu Beichi thought to himself.

“Sure, deal!” Lu Beichi said loudly.

“Can I borrow your basketball to practice?” She asked. Lu Beichi tossed the ball to Ye Qiao, and just when she thought that she could catch it gracefully, she missed it! Lu Beichi burst out laughing as he found the sight entertaining.

***

Two days later, it became apparent that Lu Xiaogun did not intend to help her. Ye Qiao panicked, so she went to the basketball court with the ball and practiced under the hot sun.

An hour later, she finally sat down on the cold floor as it was too hot for her. Swiftly, she took out her mobile phone from her backpack.

“Lu Xiaogun, could you help me? There’s a lot more for me to catch up on, and I have to bring you to visit daddy! Did you not see your uncle’s irritating expression the other day? I’m gonna teach him a lesson and see if he will continue being a rascal! Do you know that your uncle, a.k.a. my brother, is a Computer Science genius!? Perhaps, he was Papa Li or Papa Ma in his previous life; hence, we should help him!” She had been sweet-talking Lu Xiaogun over the past two days; however, he refused to respond.

“Gungun, are you lost...? Wuwuwu...” Ye Qiao was in a panicked state and even in tears as she thought that Xiaogun did not manage to follow her to J City.
