Chapter 276: Dazed

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Qingye looked drowsy and a little dazed. Slowly, Meng Chuyuan’s facial features began to emerge clearly in his vision, and a faint gentleness appeared in his eyes.

At first, Meng Chuyuan acted quite naturally, but for some reason, when she suddenly met Lu Qingye’s deep eyes, she started to look a little guilty, and her heart rate clearly sped up.

Lu Qingye’s expression revealed a trace of doubt when he saw her stunned face.

His deep voice carried a hint of laziness as he asked, “What’s wrong?”

Meng Chuyuan blinked and said softly, “…The alarm clock is ringing.”

After saying that, Meng Chuyuan nimbly turned around, picked up the phone on the bedside table, and turned off the alarm clock.

Perhaps it was because the skiing event yesterday had exhausted more than half of their stamina. Furthermore, they had to work overtime after they returned that night, which shortened their sleep time, causing the two of them to be in a daze.

Usually, Lu Qingye would get up at this time to work out for an hour before going to work. However, he did not go for his daily workout today and did not seem to be in a hurry to go to work.

Meng Chuyuan was too busy with her own matters to care about anything else. It was not until Lu Qingye ordered breakfast service for Meng Chuyuan and asked her to finish her breakfast that she noticed Lu Qingye’s presence.

Seeing his relaxed look, Meng Chuyuan was a little curious. “Don’t you have to go to work?”

Lu Qingye handed her a sandwich and warm milk. “I’ll send you to the airport later.”

Meng Chuyuan hummed softly and did not say anything else. She sat down and ate her breakfast quietly.

Wei City, around seven in the evening.

Qi Yan went home to have dinner with her grandmother.

Before she went back, she had actually guessed that dinner should have been her father’s plan. However, because the call was from her grandmother, Qi Yan agreed on account of her grandmother.

Every time Qi Yan came back, she felt like an outsider. Especially when Qi Zhen was at home, this feeling would become abnormally strong.

She sat beside her grandmother as usual, far away from them.

At the dining table, Father Qi suddenly asked Qi Zhen a question. “Ah Zhen, what are your plans after you graduate next year? Are you still going to continue developing yourself in the entertainment industry?”

Qi Zhen was silent for a while before replying, “Yes.”

“What do you mean yes? Our family doesn’t lack that bit of money. You should be satisfied now.” Father Qi didn’t seem too satisfied with Qi Zhen’s answer. His face darkened as he said seriously, “After playing around for so long, it’s time for you to stop.”

“Dad, I’m not playing around. I like this job very much. Can you not interfere with my choices in the future?”

His mother had connections in the entertainment industry, so Qi Zhen debuted earlier.

Previously, when he was young, he could only act as someone else’s son or a calefare in some school dramas. However, in the past two years, he had started acting as the male lead and had also made some progress in the entertainment industry.

He perceived this to be the beginning of his career. He had survived for so many years and did not want to give up just like that.

Father Qi said angrily, “Alright, your wings have hardened, haven’t they?”

Seeing that he was angry, Qi Zhen’s mother immediately stood up to ease the atmosphere. “Little Zhen, how can you say that? Apologize to your father quickly.”

Qi Yan could not help but sneer when she saw them fighting.

However, Qi Zhen had his own thoughts on this matter. No matter how his mother persuaded him, he did not bow down to his father.

Father Qi snorted unhappily and said to Qi Zhen in a commanding tone, “Report to the company immediately after you graduate. How disappointing is it for you to be playing around outside every day?”

Qi Yan was still watching the show quietly a second ago, but when she heard about the company, her face turned cold.

“Qi Rongsheng, don’t blame me for not reminding you. My mother left me 35% of the company’s shares. If you dare to hand these things over to the mother and son, I’ll sue you in court..”
