Capítulo 1481: Chapter 76: Extreme Home Switching
Although he got Xiong Fang’s number, Lu Hong didn’t rush to call it immediately. Of course, he didn’t actually have the urge to make this call for the time being.
Right now, Lu Hong had something far more important to do, which was dating!
Yes, in the past, for the sake of the family and to support his sister’s education, he didn’t have time to date and spent every day immersed in games to earn money.
A few days ago, while out grocery shopping, he met a very beautiful girl, and they chatted enthusiastically while shopping together.
In the following days, Lu Hong coincidentally kept meeting the girl, and so the relationship between the two began to gradually grow closer.
Later on, Lu Hong gathered the courage to ask for the girl’s contact information. They added each other as friends and chatted from time to time, and their relationship warmed quickly.
Tonight was a special occasion as Lu Hong had dinner at the girl’s house after work.
He parked his car downstairs at her place, got out of his luxury car, straightened his newly tailored suit worth hundreds of thousands, and feeling exceptionally handsome, he coughed twice, and went upstairs with full confidence.
Knock, knock, knock, Lu Hong knocked on the girl’s door.
“Coming!” The girl’s voice quickly sounded from inside.
Then the door opened, revealing the girl’s shy yet pure smile.
Lu Hong smiled slightly, “Sorry, I might have been a bit late, got held up by a mysterious person on the way here.”
Hearing this, the girl shook her head and said, “You drove here, you should be more careful on the road. I’ve prepared a little supper here, let’s eat while it’s hot.”
“Okay.”
With the girl leading the way, Lu Hong entered the house, which was clean and tidy, clearly maintained by someone who regularly cared for it.
On the table, besides a couple of delicate dishes, there was a bottle of red wine, but it was the kind that costs less than a hundred bucks from the supermarket outside.
This didn’t bother Lu Hong, who proactively opened the wine and poured a half-glass for each of them.
“I have a few particularly good bottles of wine; next time I’ll bring one for you to try.” Lu Hong raised his glass, and the girl shyly picked up hers, clinking glasses with him.
The late-night snack ended pleasantly amidst the two’s mutual flirtation.
After polishing off the bottle of wine, a delayed buzz began to rise, and the girl’s cheeks blushed a deep red from shyness.
Lu Hong felt his heart racing too.
Lu Hong was just about to embrace her when she pushed him away, and shyly said, “I’m… I’m going to take a shower first.”
Ha-ha, Lu Hong knew well what that meant.
As the girl darted into the bathroom, Lu Hong quickly took out his phone to text his sister, “Your brother has a very important life event to handle tonight, won’t be coming home!”
“No way, brother, are you going to find me a sister-in-law?”
Lu Lingyue’s reply was instant, almost coming the moment his message was sent.
Lu Hong glanced at the clock on his phone; it was only ten o’clock and immediately texted back, “Aren’t you supposed to still be in your night class? Why are you on your phone?!”
“Hmph, you nosy brother, why should you care? I just want to know if you’re finding me a sister-in-law. If you are, I’ll forgive you for not coming home tonight!”
“Yes, yes, yes, it’s your brother’s lifelong matter, don’t ruin my good affair.”
“Ok!”
Seeing Lu Lingyue’s understanding emoji response, Lu Hong contently put his phone away, then turned to look toward the glass with a vague silhouette behind it, his face devoid of any smile, his gaze extremely icy.
Even though his experiences were merely a two-year dream realm, who says dreams can’t teach people all kinds of truths?
In the dream, he experienced countless battles and strategies, where Mentor Nuoshan taught him many schemes and counter-schemes.
Initially, Lu Hong thought such things weren’t applicable to his ordinary life, but unexpectedly, he’d need them so quickly.
From the first glance this girl appeared before him, he knew she approached him intentionally.
Lu Hong had an exceptional memory; this girl first appeared half a month ago and no matter what time he went grocery shopping, she’d always be in the shadows, sneakily observing him.
One or two chance encounters were believable for Lu Hong, but being able to spot this girl morning, afternoon, and evening during his random, uncertain grocery trips indicated a significant issue.
After observing him for a week, she began to approach him as if by chance.
Knowing her intentions were to approach him, Lu Hong decided to test the waters, thus naturally interacting with the girl.
Thus, they became a couple, and it seemed Lu Hong was in for a romantic night.
Since it was a win-win situation, Lu Hong had nothing to worry about.
After spending the night, Lu Hong felt refreshed and even thoughtfully prepared breakfast for the girl before heading home.
Unexpectedly, upon entering home, he found Luo Yanxue sitting in the living room reading.
“Young Master Luo? What are you doing here?” Lu Hong was stunned; why was he in his house early in the morning? Granted it was the weekend with no school, but wasn’t he too early…?
Wait a moment!
Lu Hong’s expression turned peculiar as he turned his head to see Lu Lingyue emerging from the bathroom, drying her hair, still in her pajamas.
Immediately, Lu Hong’s face darkened as he scolded Lu Lingyue, “Ling Yue, you silly girl, there’s a guest here, look at you, running around in sleepwear, what is this supposed to be like?”
With that, Lu Hong apologized to Luo Yanxue, “Young Master Luo, I’m sorry, my sister doesn’t know any better and was impolite to you.”
The scolding was actually an outlet for Lu Hong’s pent-up anger because he couldn’t vent on the benefactor Luo Yanxue, so he had to vent on his own sister.
Hearing the scolding, Lu Lingyue pouted, “Yanxue isn’t even an outsider…”
But seeing Lu Hong’s angry face, Lu Lingyue only dared to mutter softly.
Lu Hong then put down his things and quickly scanned the house, checking for evidence that Luo Yanxue spent the night.
Damn, he wasn’t home, and this kid came over to sneak into his house!
If any traces of Yanyue staying over were found, Lu Hong would have to have a serious talk with him. Now they’re only in high school, it’s crucial not to mess around! His sister isn’t fit to match the Luo Family’s Young Master, don’t trouble this pair of ill-fated siblings.
Seeing Lu Hong’s shifting eyes, Luo Yanxue chuckled, understanding his concerns, and said, “Brother Lu, you don’t need to look around, I just got here not long ago to bring breakfast for Lu Lingyue, and later, we’re going to attend a lecture hosted by a university professor.”
Upon hearing Luo Yanxue’s explanation, Lu Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief, but outwardly remained expressionless and said, “Oh wow, Young Master Luo, really? I was just checking if the house was cleaned regularly. Oh, you’re headed to a lecture? Do you need me to take you there?”
“No need, my driver is waiting outside the community. But Brother Lu, you didn’t return home last night; surely you need some sleep?”
“Ha ha, I’m alright, I’m quite energized now.”
During their casual conversation, Lu Lingyue had already changed into a finely-crafted dress and a little gown, a set Lu Hong bought for her two weeks ago, costing over twenty thousand. As Lu Hong had earned plenty from Luo Jiuxiu’s shares, he spent lavishly and bought Lu Lingyue three to four such expensive outfits.
Initially, Lu Lingyue refused, but was eventually persuaded by her brother’s nearly one million in his bank account, accepting the exquisite luxury items she had never encountered before.
To care for his sister, Lu Hong with money, naturally wanted to give her the best, to make up for his past failings toward her.
Seeing off Luo Yanxue and Lu Lingyue, Lu Hong returned to his room and began tapping his fingers gently on the table, creating a rhythmic tapping sound.
He then entered a brainstorming session.
Since waking up, Lu Hong’s life has been smooth, partly attributed to his exceptional gaming skills, yet he still feels a sense of unreality.
But he never revealed this feeling, simply continuing with life as it was.
He felt as if a pair of invisible hands were orchestrating everything!
