Chapter 209 - Escape

Ye Qiao really did not have any appetite left to eat. She walked to the cabinet and asked, "Brother Xiao, did you go back to university?"

"Yeah! Grandpa insisted that I must write a report. I'm so annoyed!" He answered while eating.

"My boyfriend was promoted!" She took off his coat from the hangar and touched the shiny badge. It was a testimony of his blood and sweat!

Beixiao smiled nonchalantly.

"Brother Xiao! Do I look cool?" Ye Qiao put on Beixiao's cap and smiled at him.

She even saluted him. Indeed, she looked so cute and cool! He did not answer her, but his eyes said it all.

"Brother Xiao, is this house newly renovated? By the way, I feel a little dizzy. I will head to the garden to get some fresh air!" Ye Qiao looked at his back mischievously.

"It was renovated before I left. In fact, it was done a long time ago! It will be our home after we get married!" Lu Beixiao turned around and looked at her seriously. His lips curled into a gentle and loving smile as he looked at her.

Ever since her birthday last year, after she gave him her body, he had always wanted to make a home for her.

"See if there's anything that you want to change! I will ask them to re-do it." He walked towards her and looked at her tenderly.

The spacious living room was mainly black and grey with a dark wooden floor, grey carpet, and a black sofa. In the middle of the ceiling, there was an orange-red chandelier. In addition to the orange-red standing lamp in the background, it added a hint of warmth to the dark colors. The combination of steadiness and liveliness was just like him and her.

Also, there was a black-framed painting in the background of the living room. A famous artist painted it. The bright red stamp was very eye-catching.

Both the northern and southern walls had windows covered by minimalist beige curtains. There were also spotlights around the ceiling that was all lit up.

Ye Qiao scanned the room thoroughly. This was the house they stayed in their previous life. It contained many terrible memories, yet it made her feel so moved because it was a reminder that Lu Beixaio always showed his love for her through his actions!

"I like it a lot! I love siheyuans. In fact, my office is also a siheyuan! It's not far from here!"

"That's good. Once your training is over, we will host an engagement banquet!"

Boohoo… She was touched again, and this time, she did not feel like escaping anymore!

"Is there a smell in the house?"

"I don't smell anything…" His eyes locked onto hers. He saw right through her tricks! Hah… she wanted to escape again!

Nevertheless, he still acted casually, "There's a hound in the backyard. Be careful; it's very fierce."

A hound? Lightning? The one that never liked her in their previous life? It tried to bite her every time it saw her, and apparently, it had a higher rank than Lu Beixiao?!

Why did it sound like a threat?!

Still, perhaps it was worth the risk. What if she could escape? If she did not escape, she would not be able to get off her bed tomorrow!

So, in the middle of the night, Ye Qiao sneaked out of the house with her backpack. She left quickly on her motorbike!

"Hahaha. Lu Xiaogun, isn't your mom great?!" Ye Qiao sped through the valleys proudly.

It felt so good to escape!

Lu Xiaogun replied, "Haha… Why must you give up on life, mommy?"

Just when Ye Qiao was laughing proudly, someone jumped off the rooftop in front of her. She slammed the brake immediately!

The black, towering figure stood in front of her! Although he was quite some distance away, she could still see him with the help of the bike lamp!

Swear words flashed through her mind. 'Boohoo… help!'

However, Lu Xiaogun ignored her. Who asked her to escape?

He did not move, and neither did she. The motorbike was still on, and so was the lamp. The two of them just looked at each other.

"Run!"

She immediately turned around and revved the engine! The motorbike rode off like an arrow!

Lu Beixiao was standing still and smiled. Then, he took a big step backward and sprinted forward. His right leg stepped on the wall, and his hands grabbed the edge of the roof. He climbed onto the rooftop with ease!

A figure was running and jumping between rooftops in the valley, chasing after the motorbike on the ground.

Just when she slowed down to make a turn, he leaped off the roof. Ye Qiao felt something shadowing over her, but before she could look up, there was already another passenger on the motorbike who secured her waist in his arms.

She fell into his warm embrace.
