CHAPTER 1551: CHAPTER 1551 IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUR WILLPOWER NOW

In the evening, Emma called and said they had booked a later flight. She reminded her not to forget to pick them up at the airport and mentioned how they could spend the Lantern Festival together with her family.

Luo Qiao teased, "Is this your honeymoon trip? Should I book a hotel for you or will you stay at my place?"

Emma laughed, "You’re so naughty."

The two chatted about everything under the sun on the phone for a long time. Emma was a bit excited and said, "I’m finally going to fulfill my dream—here comes Chinese cuisine. But since it’s winter, it might not be as beautiful as in summer. It’s kind of a pity when you think about it."

Luo Qiao replied, "Then why not come again in summer? Each season has its own charm, so there’s nothing to feel too regretful about."

Emma exclaimed, "Right, Luo, you’re right. We’ll plan another trip in the summer to experience the Capital City in different seasons."

After the call, Lu Yichen came in with a glass of milk. "If it were an ordinary person and not Emma, that phone call would have been a month’s living expenses."

Luo Qiao laughed, "I’ll tell Emma what you said when she arrives."

Luo Qiao finished drinking her milk, "Brother Chen, are you free to come with me to pick them up on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year?"

Lu Yichen playfully touched Luo Qiao’s nose, "Even if I’m not free, I have to be. It’s rare they manage to take a trip over."

Luo Qiao handed her empty glass to him, "At that time, let’s ask them to take some things back to Professor Wilson. I need to think about what to send."

Lu Yichen suggested, "Oh, I know a friend in the ceramics business. How about sending them a purple clay teapot? They love tea too, and his wife enjoys Chinese culture, so she should like it."

Luo Qiao wrapped her arms around Lu Yichen’s neck, "Alright, and let’s add two cans of tea leaves. Perfect!"

Lu Yichen watched her small tender mouth talking continuously, "Don’t tempt me, or I won’t be able to get up tomorrow."

Luo Qiao playfully said, "That depends on your willpower."

She then released her hold on him, lying back and laughing.

Lu Yichen got up, washed the milk glass, then returned to bed, pulling her into his arms, "You know I have no willpower when it comes to you, right?"

He kissed that tender little mouth, "Qiaoqiao, I love you."

The sudden confession moved Luo Qiao too, and the sparks quickly ignited, leading to a passionate night...

Luckily, the next day was the fifth of the Lunar New Year, and they didn’t have to leave the house, so they slept together until late morning. When they woke up, they exchanged a knowing smile and chatted under the covers for a while before getting up.

They ate the breakfast Auntie Tang had left for them in the kitchen, then leisurely walked to the small park in front to find Grandpa and the kids.

From afar, they could see the children playing and running around happily.

Lu Yixuan and Wang Xiaoxin were by Grandpa’s side, watching the kids play.

Some neighbors were chatting nearby.

When Lu Yichen and Luo Qiao arrived, Wang Xiaoxin smiled, "Awake?"

Luo Qiao embarrassedly scratched her head, "Um, Grandpa, would you like me to push you around for a bit?"

Grandpa nodded with a smile, "Sure, let’s see who’s in the park and say hello."

They called the kids over and started strolling with Grandpa around the park, stopping to chat with familiar faces.

Just as they were about to leave the park, they heard someone crying out, "Oh, it hurts so much."

Then someone said, "There’s a kid over there who got hurt by firecrackers, his hand is injured."

Luo Qiao and Lu Yichen exchanged a look, and Luo Qiao said, "I’ll go check it out."

She handed Grandpa’s wheelchair to her sister-in-law, Wang Xiaoxin, and ran towards the still-crying child.

The lady pulling the child away saw Luo Qiao, "Director Luo, please take a look at this child?"

Luo Qiao approached and asked, "Where did it hurt?"

The boy, crying, raised his injured hand, and Luo Qiao saw there was no bleeding, "Alright, don’t cry anymore. Come with me, I’ll take care of it for you."
