Chapter 524 I Will Take Care of Chuxia Translated by newbienoona
Edited by anks
Ling Hanyu is so serious, he"s burning with rage!
“There must be a reason you"re pushing for an answer,” Han Qilu asks coldly, anger starts flowing. He doesn"t know why he"s angry. It"s enough that he"s aggrieved about Mankuai.
This is adding on to his annoyance.
Han Qilu doesn"t provide him with an answer, so Ling Hanyu continues to stubbornly push like they"re having a showdown. “If you"re letting everyone know you"re with Mankuai, I will take care of Chuxia.”
The words make Qilu tense.
There is a saying that it"s difficult to prevent theft in a family of thieves. This stinky boy has the bad notion of taking An Chuxia [away from him]. Unforgivable!
“Why would you want to take care of her?” Qilu asks as he narrows his eyes, sending a dangerous message all over. “Don"t you think it would be best for An Chuxia to be under the Hans" care?”
Doesn"t this sound all wrong?
Ling Hanyu raises his chin and flashes a positive smile. “But can the Han family care for her for a lifetime?”
The key point is the word “care”. Both boys have stated their claim.
“The Han family may not be as rich as a nation, but caring for An Chuxia won"t be an issue, okay?” Qilu"s tone is so cold it can make people shudder.
But Ling Hanyu isn"t afraid, so much so, he doesn"t even notice Qilu is on the verge of raging. “Of course it isn"t a problem for the Han family to raise An Chuxia. But if you take Mankuai home, what will An Chuxia"s status be in your family? Your meimei? She"d be uncomfortable! It would be best… .”
“Enough!” Han Qilu says, fiercely slamming his hand on the table.
Ling Hanyu is taken aback, shooting Han Qilu a blank look. “What"s wrong with you?”
He actually wants him to explain?
Ling Hanyu"s courage continues to grow, and with a bat of an eye he says, “Since you have an opinion, I am going to start courting her.”
“s.h.i.t! When did I agree for you to court her?” Han Qilu"s hand curls into a tight fist before releasing it. A frown forms on his forehead. “I won"t allow it.”
“Really?” Hanyu asks, puzzled. “Why?”
“Because… .” Han Qilu says, holding himself back.

Xiao Mingluo goes to An Chuxia"s ward shortly after arriving in the hospital with Hanyu. He opens the door and shouts in the room, “An Chuxia, you have to help me!”
An Chuxia was taking a nap when he walks in. His booming voice scares her awake. “Where did you come from?”
“Where I came from is not the point. The point is, you have to help me. Otherwise, we"re done!” Xiao Mingluo says anxiously. He feels like his current relationship with Xiaonan is like walking on the edge of a cliff. If he"s not careful, he"ll fall off.
As soon as An Chuxia clears the sleep fog from her brain, she comes to the conclusion that he and Meng Xiaonan are fighting again. His appearance at the warehouse should prove to Xiaonan that he treats her differently from all the other girls before her. Why doesn"t Xiaonan cherish the new Mingluo?
“You still haven"t reconciled?” An Chuxia is afraid to ask what started the issue in the first place. “What happened to make her run back and leave?”
And her leaving caused her to get kidnapped. Speaking of which, she wonders what kind of punishment the kidnappers got.
“You"re the reason these events unfolded. That girl, Xu Nian, the one whose shoes were soiled? She was brought to our site [the music room]. To prevent Qilu from raging on her, I took her to the roof… I didn"t expect Jiangnan to appear on the rooftop and misunderstand the situation between Xu Nian and me. Now, our relationship is tense.”
“We argued and had a disagreement again after the warehouse incident. She has a bad temper. We haven"t spoken since. We"re over.”
After the explanation, An Chuxia finally understands why there"s so much tension between them.
She also suddenly remembers Xu Nian. She"s an upper society girl living the high life.
“Then why don"t you just explain this to her? This is such a small misunderstanding that has been magnified so many times.” An Chuxia shakes her head to the complicated thoughts. “Mingluo, your problem with Jiangnan is easier to solve compared to my issue with Qilu. Don"t miss out on this relationship. I can"t help you with this matter, you have to explain this to her personally, and tell her you love her.”
Saying I love you sounds arrogant, but would a girl like her want to hear those words?
How can Xiao Mingluo, someone who"s lingered among the flowers for so long, be confused? It"s just that Jiangnan is different from all the girls.
“So now, I need your help. She doesn"t even want to see me at all… .”
An Chuxia stretches out her hand and pats him on the back. He accidentally chokes, not expecting her action. “Haha, An Chuxia, you would"ve killed me!”
“You won"t realize it unless I hit you,” An Chuxia says, the corner of her mouth lifts. “Do you know you"re a maggot in her belly right now? Do you know why she doesn"t want to see you? Do you know girls can be irritable?”
Girls are really strange creatures. He"s felt it for quite a while now.
“Tomorrow"s Sat.u.r.day and mommy said we will be discharged. I will ask Xiaonan to come over to visit. You can come visit Qilu. Everything is up to you after that. That"s as much as I can help,” she says in earnest.
“I will. I will perform well.” Xiao Mingluo refocuses. “What time is it? We have to return to school.”
An Chuxia checks her mobile and says, “You won"t be late if you leave now. When you return, remember to think how you"re going to explain yourself.”
“I"m leaving. Take care of yourself.” Xiao Mingluo makes an “OK” gesture to Chuxia. Then, he turns and leaves the ward.

“Why not?” Ling Hanyu really can"t find a reason. Han Qilu is all about Mankuai. He certainly can"t be like this because he still likes Chuxia.
Han Qilu remains quiet for a while before forcefully stating, “I"ll explain later, but I definitely won"t allow it!”
Ling Hanyu looks at Qilu in horror. “Oh, Qilu… you"ve turned into someone who doesn"t want to eat the apple, and would prefer to see it rot rather than give it to someone [to eat]!”
“What a macabre a.n.a.logy!” Han Qilu says with a rigid expression. “Regardless of the reason, I won"t allow it!”
Xiao Mingluo opens the door and walks in without feeling the tension in the room. “We have to go back now.”
“So soon?” Hanyu asks. He turns back to Qilu and says, “We"re continuing this discussion later. Aren"t you a couple with Mankuai anyway? I"m not asking for your consent. I just want to give you notice.”
Han Qilu says frostily, “Go back to Stein. We will talk about this later.”
Xiao Mingluo, who"s unaware of what transpired, is full of questions. “What are you talking about?”
“Nothing.” Qilu softens his gaze. “I thought you were missing me. I didn"t expect that I"m not the main reason for your visit.”
Knowing he"s teasing, Mingluo says, “What? I know you"re being discharged tomorrow. We"ll come by tomorrow and take you out for a walk.”
“Didn"t you say we"re late? Let"s go.” Ling Hanyu reaches out and pats Mingluo on the shoulder as he shoots Han Qilu a look.
A look of doubt paints Xiao Mingluo"s face. “Why do I have a feeling that there"s something wrong between you two?”
“Everything"s fine. Go.” Han Qilu states before turning his back on them and getting back to his bed.
While he rests despite a good night"s sleep, Ling Hanyu develops a headache.
“Okay, rest easy.” Xiao Mingluo walks out of the ward.
Ling Hanyu hesitates for a moment as they pa.s.s by An Chuxia"s room. But he doesn"t walk in. He pa.s.ses by and heads out.
Both boys drove in their own shiny sports car back to Stein. The lunatic, Ling Hanyu, races on the roads openly. Fortunately, there aren"t many cars on the road. Otherwise, no one can predict what could happen.
Squeak!
Xiao Mingluo"s car breaks make an audible sound. He presses the breaks hard enough to prevent his car from hitting Hanyu"s tail.
“F**k, Hanyu, what the h.e.l.l are you doing?” Xiao Mingluo slams his car door angrily before striding to him. Both will be seeing red if they slam against each other.
But Ling Hanyu just opens his door, then walks to the front of his car.
Confused, Xiao Mingluo just closes his mouth and follows.
