Chapter 939: Chapter 939: You Really Are Annoying
In the afternoon, Li Qiao returned to her room to prepare for a nap.
As the pregnancy progressed, her drowsiness became more apparent.
Half asleep and half awake, an annoying vibration came from under her pillow.
Li Qiao groped for her phone, glanced at it hurriedly, and slid to answer, her tone a bit abrupt, “Don’t you need a nap?”
The person on the other end snorted lightly, “None of your business. Get up, the driver is outside.”
Li Qiao: “…”
She threw the blanket over her head and stayed silent for a long time.
The other side rustled again, “Li Qiao, if you dare not to come, I’m breaking up with you.”
Li Qiao threw off the blanket, expressionless, “You’re really annoying!”
…
It took a full half an hour before Li Qiao lazily changed into comfortable sportswear and walked out of the main building.
Luoyu, squatting by the bamboo grove smoking, hurriedly stubbed out her cigarette, “Madam, going out?”
Li Qiao was full of grogginess from waking up, replied with a curt ‘Hmm’, not wanting to say much.
Luoyu dared not be careless, scrutinizing her expression, cautiously probing, “Do you need me to call Liuyun?”
She guessed something major might have happened, otherwise, Madam’s face wouldn’t look so bad.
However, Li Qiao shook her head, slowly moving towards the door.
Outside the courtyard gate, an unknown black car was parked by the roadside, and two men dressed in Personal Guards uniforms stood at the car’s front.
Upon seeing Li Qiao, they clenched their right fists against their chests and bowed respectfully, “Tan Sri.”
Li Qiao said nothing, walked slowly towards the backseat door.
The Personal Guards quickly stepped forward to open the car door, and Luoyu casually glanced, only to realize it was a bulletproof car.
Personal Guards and a bulletproof car…
Luoyu looked back at Li Qiao, who was resting her eyes, and decided to report to the boss.
But before sending the message, Li Qiao’s distant inquiry reached her ears, “Dad and Shaoyan went out?”
Luoyu nodded, “They went out after lunch, didn’t say where.”
Li Qiao neither spoke nor opened her eyes, but lifted her hand to fetch a leather pillow near the rear window and hugged it.
Luoyu instinctively glanced back, the seatback was tall, and she didn’t notice the pillow before boarding, was Madam so observant?
As she pondered, Li Qiao shifted in her seat and opened the middle leather car fridge with closed eyes.
She rummaged for a while, furrowing her brows.
Luoyu, puzzled, looked at the fridge, “Madam, there’s nothing in there.”
Upon hearing this, the front-seat driver nervously watched the rearview mirror, cleared his throat, and said, “Tan Sri, the princess didn’t allow us to prepare cold tea for you…”
Luoyu was bewildered, utterly confused.
But it was obvious Li Qiao was even more displeased, slamming the fridge door shut, frowning and continuing her nap.
Luoyu: “???”
Is Madam going to see a friend or an enemy?
…
After a forty-minute drive, the car entered a villa district with a strong Myanmar style.
The area should fall under the Military Department’s jurisdiction, with Personal Guards stationed at the entrance, creating a somewhat solemn atmosphere.
At this point, Li Qiao was asleep, and the driver didn’t dare disturb her, slowly parking the car in front of a villa, secretly pulling out his phone to send a message.
In less than five minutes, the villa’s front door opened.
An elderly lady in traditional Myanmar attire first walked down the steps.
Next, two young maids helped a woman with a prominent pregnant belly appear gradually.
Luoyu had yet to remind Li Qiao when the woman directly brushed off the maids, supporting her waist with one hand, striding over to kick the car door, “Are you waiting for my invitation to get out?”
The two Personal Guards in the front row kept their heads down, pretending to be invisible, fearing Tan Sri’s wrath.
Li Qiao timely opened her eyes, rolled down the window, and cast a chilly look at the other, “With that attitude, does Su Lao Si tolerate you?”
The woman outside bent down, her pretty yet charming face starkly appearing before them.
Wu Lv’s daughter, Princess Shuo Wu Minmin.
She was about the same age as Li Qiao, with a carefree and spontaneous demeanor in her brows and eyes, her skin glowing with a healthy, attractive tan.
At this moment, Wu Minmin leaned into the car window, wrapping her arm around Li Qiao’s neck, planting a big kiss on her face, “Mind your own business, get out quickly.”
Li Qiao’s eyes met hers, helplessly pursing her lips as she got off the car.
It had been a long time since Wu Minmin and Li Qiao last saw each other, and now both pregnant, they stood before each other, and after three seconds, embraced and laughed.
Li Qiao patted her shoulder, her expression rarely gentle, “You don’t nap, and you won’t let me nap either?”
Luoyu, observing this scene, found it quite strange.
As long as she had known Madam, aside from the boss, she hardly saw Li Qiao so indulgent to outsiders.
To be precise, in front of Wu Minmin, Li Qiao revealed more of the liveliness expected of her age.
Wu Minmin linked arms with her, grumbling as they walked, “What’s more important, sleep or me? Li Qiao, I’ve found you increasingly unbearable. After so long, don’t you miss me? What kind of girlfriend are you? You’ve been in Myanmar for two days and didn’t see me, don’t you want to check on your godson and goddaughter?”
Luoyu silently trailed behind them, at a loss for words, staring at Wu Minmin.
This princess, is she a chatterbox?
Li Qiao momentarily paused, glancing sideways at her belly, “Both?”
Wu Minmin pulled her hand over her own belly, looking quite smug, “Jealous? A son and a daughter, twins, isn’t my husband amazing?”
What’s there to be smug about?!
Li Qiao shot her a sideways glance, giving a perfunctory smile, “Truly amazing.”
In the living room, the two took seats, and maids soon brought over two cups of tea.
Li Qiao lazily nestled into the sofa, holding the teacup, sipping slightly.
Wu Minmin rummaged beneath the coffee table, revealing several boxes of Plum Slices, lifting her hand and tossing them towards Li Qiao’s face, “I got these especially for you.”
Li Qiao maintained her tea drinking posture, catching the shadow in her peripheral vision, raised her arm and intercepted the Sour Plum Box in mid-air, leisurely calling her, “Wu Minmin——”
“Oh, just testing your reflexes, don’t get mad.”
Li Qiao put down her cup, resting her head back on the sofa, lazily asking, “Why’d you call me over?”
“Can’t I call you for no reason?” Wu Minmin rubbed her belly brazenly, retorting, “Now that you’re here, do you think you can escape? On New Year’s Day, everyone will be there, unless you can vanish, they’ll definitely find you.”
Li Qiao raised her eyebrows slightly, “Do I need to hide?”
Upon hearing this, Wu Minmin mischievously grinned, picking up her phone, ready to move, “Then I’ll call everyone over.”
“Wait.” Li Qiao held her forehead with one hand, sighed with her lips, “In a few days…”
“Still waiting?” Wu Minmin slammed her phone onto the coffee table, folding her arms and lifting her shoulders, “Li Qiao, do you want to end our friendship?”
