Lu Qingyou was very close to the Bai brothers. They all had one thing in common—they were protective of their loved ones.
Although initially, she didn't think she was as close to Bai Yeqi as the other two, she actually was.
Although Lu Qingyou had grown up with privileges, this did not imply that she was ignorant of the world.
She knew how capable they were, but she didn't want to make a big deal out of it. She tugged at Bai Yeqi's sleeve and said, "Just scare him a little."
Bai Yeqi raised an eyebrow in response, clearly unsatisfied with Lu Qingyou's proposed solution.
The middle-aged man had a vague impression that Bai Yeqi looked familiar. He didn't appear to be an ordinary person based on his appearance and aura. He cast a wary eye over the two of them and asked, "Do you know her? Who are you to her?"
He had been staring at the new intern in the company for a long time.
Lu Qingyou usually wore expensive clothes and carried designer bags.
At first, he was a little worried because, in Jingcheng City, even a billboard falling down could potentially hit a celebrity.
But after a while, he realized that Lu Qingyou was serious about her work and didn't drive an expensive car, so he let go of his worries.
He thought Lu Qingyou was one of those materialistic girls who liked luxury clothes and bags, so he took the opportunity to make a move on her, but he didn't expect Bai Yeqi to intervene.
"You're not worthy enough to know who I am. You've just messed with someone you shouldn't mess with. Just wait and see," Bai Yeqi said arrogantly.
He couldn't really do anything to Lu Qingyou's boss; at best, he could subjugate the company where Lu Qingyou was interning. For Bai Yunan, however, things were different.
Everyone knew that Bai Yunan treated Lu Qingyou like his own daughter.
The situation at hand was confusing enough for the middle-aged man.
However, neither Bai Yeqi nor Lu Qingyou offered him any explanations. They had already gotten into the car and left.
The middle-aged man stood there for a moment, then slapped his own head, suddenly remembering where he had seen Bai Yeqi before. His face instantly turned pale.
…
The car ride was extremely quiet.
Playing with her fingers, Lu Qingyou looked pitiful as she looked at Bai Yeqi. "Yeqi, don't tell Yunan."
Bai Yeqi snorted coldly and remained silent.
Lu Qingyou knew Bai Yunan's temper. Moreover, when she first interned at that company, Bai Yunan didn't have high expectations for her. Now that this happened, Bai Yunan would definitely scold her again.
Seeing Bai Yeqi's silence, Lu Qingyou reached out and grabbed his arm. "Yeqi—"
"Tsk!"
She happened to grab Bai Yeqi's injured arm, causing him to hiss coldly as his expression changed.
Lu Qingyou quickly let go of his hand and looked at him worriedly. "What happened?"
"It's nothing. It's just a minor injury," Bai Yeqi shook his head and said in a calm voice.
"Did you see a doctor?" Lu Qingyou asked while nodding.
Bai Yeqi lowered his gaze. Lu Qingyou's eyes were clear and pure. When she was a little girl, she was the most popular girl in the neighborhood. She was a little tough, but she always had a smile for everyone. As for himself, he was an outcast in the neighborhood, and everyone kept their distance from him.
Lu Qingyou, however, was different. She would call him "Yeqi" affectionately every time she saw him.
She had always been intelligent since she was a child. When he was seventeen or eighteen years old and rebellious, he got into fights outside, and Lu Qingyou saw it and helped him to cover it up by lying.
Putting aside his thoughts, his tone softened a bit. "Yes, I've been to the doctor. Everything's fine."
"Oh."
Lu Qingyou lowered her head and continued to fiddle with her fingers.
She was really afraid of being scolded by Bai Yunan. He wouldn't hurt her physically, but he was still very intimidating.
Another reason was that she felt she was becoming increasingly emotional. If Bai Yunan scolded her, she might cry, which would be embarrassing.
Silently, the two of them made their way back to the Bai Residence.
