Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1174 - 701: A Step Closer in Their Relationship

Wen Su glanced at his watch and frowned. He had promised to return within an hour, but twenty minutes had already passed, and he hadn’t even left the school gates.

From S University to Wen’s Mansion, even at the fastest, it would take about half an hour. If he hit traffic, there was no telling how long it would take. He was a punctual person, even with family. He thought for a moment and dialed Luo Ye’s phone.

”Second Brother, where are you?” A sweet, clear voice, like a refreshing summer spring, made Wen Su’s lips curl up unconsciously: ”Ye’er, do you miss your Second Brother?”

”Of course, I miss you, but... I guess Second Brother doesn’t have time to miss me right now. Hurry up, where are you? Anyone who can conquer my rebellious Second Brother isn’t ordinary. I’m eager to meet this charming Second Sister-in-law.”

”You, teasing your Second Brother, huh? Ye’er, I’m sorry, something came up here unexpectedly, and I might not be able to make it back in an hour.”

”It’s okay, I won’t leave tonight...” Luo Ye smirked, ”I’m sure Second Brother told Second Sister-in-law you were returning to the Wen Family, and she went to freshen up. I understand, I can wait. Have a safe trip, hee hee...”

”Hee hee, what do you mean hee hee? Fine, I won’t bicker with you, mischievous girl. We’ll talk when I get back...”

”Second Brother, is Second Sister-in-law there now, and you don’t have the patience to talk to me?”

”You little rascal, just wait till I get back...” Wen Su said as he reflexively glanced around. Lu Qingqing, who was quietly standing behind him, quickly smiled: ”Sorry, were you waiting long?”

”Hee hee... Second Brother, I won’t disturb you any longer. Bye.” As soon as she finished speaking, the call ended with a dial tone. Wen Su shook his head helplessly and turned his gaze to Lu Qingqing: ”My cousin is back. If you’re willing, come back with me to meet her.”

”Huh?” Lu Qingqing anxiously tugged at her clothes and fiddled with her hair, ”Right now?”

”Yes.” Wen Su nodded and asked, ”You don’t want to go?”

”No, no...” Lu Qingqing quickly shook her head, ”Of course I want to, but I haven’t put on proper makeup, nor bought new clothes. Looking like this, isn’t it a bit rude?”

Wen Su frowned: ”I originally promised to return within an hour, but after waiting for fifteen minutes without seeing you, I had to call my family to delay the time.” The implication was clear: he didn’t agree with Lu Qingqing going back to the dorm to fix up.

”Like this, really okay?” Lu Qingqing twirled around, blinking her big eyes, ”Will I embarrass you?”

”From your expression, it’s clear you’re quite satisfied with your appearance, so why ask me? Let’s go.” Wen Su said as he walked forward.

Lu Qingqing’s smile froze for a moment. She quickly ran a few steps to catch up and hooked onto his arm: ”Wen Su, you seemed very close to your cousin just now, right?”

”Yes.” Wen Su nodded, ”Just like my own sister.”

Lu Qingqing thought for a moment: ”So, as long as your cousin doesn’t have any objections to me, our relationship can be officially decided, right?”

Wen Su shook his head: ”That’s something my cousin wouldn’t interfere with. I’m asking you back so you can meet my family. Of course, if you think the timing isn’t right, I won’t force it.” No matter what happens between him and Lu Qingqing, he was clear he couldn’t let it affect Ye’er.

”No, no, I don’t think the timing is wrong, just worried about embarrassing you.” Lu Qingqing hesitated for a moment, ”Wen Su, do you have any feelings for me at all?”

”If I didn’t have even a little, why would I bring you home to meet my family?” Wen Su stopped walking, ”I’ve been at this school for nearly seven years, have you ever heard any gossip about me?”

”Just now, when I went downstairs, you had just answered the call, and your gaze... suddenly became so gentle. Honestly, I was jealous. When you’re with me, you’ve never looked at me like that.”

”What do you mean by that?”

The sudden coldness in Wen Su’s eyes made Lu Qingqing panic. She hurriedly waved her hands: ”Actually, what I mean is... I’m feeling a bit sour inside.

I changed into a new outfit and hairstyle, and you didn’t notice at all. When you talk to me, it’s always in such a business-like manner. Yes, I chased after you, but I’m also a girl. Being treated so coldly by you all the time really hurts my pride.

Just like today, even before seeing me, you had already arranged to meet your family in an hour. Did you ever consider my feelings?
