Seeing Lou Qingzhuo suddenly appear in her home, Zhaozhao stared at him with wide eyes. Her mouth moved faster than her mind, and she blurted out, "I'm not your fiancée."
Lou Qingzhuo didn't care about her reaction at all. He leaned in playfully and said, "It's not a big deal. It's okay as long as I consider you my fiancée, fiancée."
Zhaozhao was annoyed by his words and didn't bother to respond. But Cheng Sang beside her clearly wanted to "teach a lesson" to this arrogant young man. He rolled up his sleeves, ready to give him a beating.
Such a "kind" look couldn't escape Zhaozhao's eyes. She didn't want Junior Brother Wu to fight with others. It wasn't because she was afraid that her junior brother couldn't beat Lou Qingzhuo, nor was she worried about Lou Qingzhuo getting hurt. She just didn't want to trouble her junior brother. Zhaozhao stepped forward quickly to stop Cheng Sang. "Brother, just ignore him."
Seeing such obvious differential treatment, Lou Qingzhuo exaggeratedly covered his chest with a pained look on his face. "Wow, fiancée, you're really breaking my heart."
Zhaozhao was too lazy to correct his address. She felt that Lou Qingzhuo seemed to have changed a lot. His whole aura was so different from the last time they met.
"What are you doing here at my home?" Zhaozhao stared at Lou Qingzhuo fiercely, clearly showing that she didn't welcome him at all.
Lou Qingzhuo seemed really hurt at this moment. He composed himself and looked at Zhaozhao. "I just haven't seen you for a long time and wanted to come and see you."
Of course, this wasn't the truth. That day, he received the pill refined by Lu Chukong using the secret methods of the Eastern Clan, which made him suspicious of Lu Chukong's identity. However, when he found Lu Chukong again to ask, the latter said that he got this pill from Zhaozhao. This made Lou Qingzhuo think more.
However, no matter how much he thought, he couldn't figure it out. So he simply came to her directly.
Actually, he wasn't sure about his own feelings either. What could he achieve by coming here? Could he just ask directly? What were the chances that Zhaozhao would tell him the truth if he asked? Looking at the current situation... probably none at all.
Lou Qingzhuo was very certain.
"What's there to see about me? I'm not familiar with you. And I've already said that I only saved you that time because I was afraid you'd blackmail me. You don't need to repay me. And there's no need to offer yourself in marriage. I don't like you. I have someone I like. You'd better save that for someone else."
Cheng Sang was originally standing there leisurely, listening to his junior sister rejecting this lecher. But when he suddenly heard that his junior sister had someone she liked, and realized that the person she liked had nothing to do with him, it felt like a sudden stab in the heart. His heart instantly turned cold.
Afraid of hearing more heart - breaking news, Cheng Sang turned around silently with a gloomy face and walked into the kitchen.
Zhaozhao turned around and looked at her brother's back. She was secretly happy, thinking that her brother really cared about her. He even wanted to cook delicious food for her at this time.
Then she caught a glimpse of Lou Qingzhuo standing in the middle of the living room. Thinking about the delicious food that was about to come, her expression towards Lou Qingzhuo softened a bit. She walked to the door, opened it, and made a gesture of invitation. "Okay, now I've made it clear to you. Please leave."
"Tsk tsk," Lou Qingzhuo clicked his back teeth. His lowered eyes made it hard to see the look in them. Only his very calm voice could be heard. "You really know how to reject someone cleanly and neatly."
This sounded a bit like a compliment, but the tone made people feel uncomfortable. Zhaozhao frowned and then stubbornly repeated calmly, "You can leave now."
Lou Qingzhuo ignored her words and walked up to Zhaozhao step by step. His tall figure gave the illusion of completely enveloping Zhaozhao. Zhaozhao took an uncomfortable step back.
She heard Lou Qingzhuo say, "But what should I do? It seems that I like you even more like this."
What? Listen to what he's saying! This guy is like a masochist. The more you dislike him, the more enthusiastic he becomes.
"Are you crazy?" Zhaozhao asked him sincerely with each word. For her, it wasn't an insult. She was really asking.
The word "masochist" was something Zhaozhao learned from the Internet. The Internet said that people with this tendency generally had some mental illness. Looking at Lou Qingzhuo's reaction, Zhaozhao guessed that he might be in this situation too. Otherwise, how could he say such strange things?
Lou Qingzhuo was taken aback. His usually eloquent mouth was speechless for a moment. Facing such a sincere person, you really had no way to deal with her. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but reach out and press his forehead. He bent down and laughed softly. "Puhahaha, you're really interesting."
It seemed that he was seriously ill. Zhaozhao, a half - baked doctor, made the final diagnosis of Lou Qingzhuo's "condition".
"Hey, tell me the truth. I, Lou Qingzhuo, am at least the young master of the Eastern Clan. What exactly don't you like about me? Tell me. I'll try my best to change if I can." This guy had completely forgotten his original purpose of coming here. Now all he could think about was how to win Zhaozhao's heart.
Zhaozhao stared blankly, thinking how hard it was to make this person understand.
But when she heard the words "young master of the Eastern Clan" from Lou Qingzhuo's mouth, she felt a bit guilty. Their sacred object was still in her body. Although her master said it was her own thing, after all, it had been hundreds of years. They had regarded it as a sacred object and searched for it for so long. Finally, when there was news of it, it disappeared again. Who wouldn't be sad?
She walked over and sat on the sofa, peeled an orange for herself, threw half of it into her mouth and chewed. She mumbled and made up an answer casually. "I don't like that you're the young master of the Eastern Clan."
"Just this?" Lou Qingzhuo obviously didn't expect such an answer. Immediately, he waved his hand and said that he could give up being the young master of the Eastern Clan. He asked, "Anything else?"
Zhaozhao looked at him as if he was terminally ill and deliberately made things difficult for him. "There's more. There's a lot."
Lou Qingzhuo walked over and sat down opposite Zhaozhao boldly, looking like he had plenty of time. "Take your time. I'm all ears."
Ah, this guy was so annoying! Zhaozhao sighed and pointed at him very rudely. "I just don't like the fact that you like me. Is that okay?"
"Hiss..." Lou Qingzhuo took a deep breath, looking extremely tangled. "This doesn't seem okay. Can you just bear with it?"
"Get out of here. You're so annoying!" Unable to bear it any longer, Zhaozhao grabbed a pillow on the sofa and threw it at Lou Qingzhuo's face. It was as if to say that if he didn't leave, the next thing hitting his face wouldn't be just a pillow.
Lou Qingzhuo, who had hit a wall, wasn't discouraged. He dusted off his sleeves, took out the pill that Lu Chukong had given him, put it on the table, and asked Zhaozhao, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I came here for something serious. Take a look at this. Do you recognize it?"
He didn't really believe what Lu Chukong had said. It was more reliable to ask in person.
