Chapter 108: You Are Sister Luo’s Man!
Lei Xingxing, Qin Zhaoyu, and Qin Zhaowen all wore expressions of complete admiration and reverence. This was the aura only a top CEO possessed. Look at them—they were utterly outmatched, like schoolchildren standing before a giant!
And yet, he was only twenty-two years old!
Ye Wuqi was even more extraordinary, immediately changing the way he addressed him: “Brother-in-law~”
Ye Luo’s face fell. Ancestor, seriously?!
Seeing Ye Wuqi call Gong Lü “brother-in-law,” Yan Baba and the others went wild, their excitement barely containable as they chimed in enthusiastically, “Yes, yes, we call her Sister Luo, and since you’re Sister Luo’s man, of course, you’re our brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!”
They repeated it three times to show just how much they liked Gong Lü as their brother-in-law.
Ye Luo’s expression darkened. Since when did Gong Lü become her man? She, the very person involved, had no clue!
Gong Lü noticed Ye Luo’s sour look and realized he couldn’t rush things. He smiled softly and explained, “You’re jumping the gun. She and I are still at the stage where I’m pursuing her.”
Lei Xingxing said simply, “So Sister Luo doesn’t like you yet, right?”
Yan Baba immediately slammed the table, standing up and yelling at Lei Xingxing, “Don’t be so heartless! Our idol still has some pride!”
Gong Lü: “...”
“Ha ha ha...” Qin Zhaoyu suddenly burst into laughter.
Ye Wuqi, however, held back his laughter, shoulders trembling and cheeks puffed out in effort.

Yan Baba was oblivious to the effect he’d caused. Catching a glimpse of Ye Wuqi’s strained expression, he was puzzled—wasn’t Ye Wuqi usually the first to laugh out loud?
So Yan Baba lifted a finger and gently poked Ye Wuqi’s puffed cheek.
Ye Wuqi instantly broke character: “Pfft, hahaha...”
As he laughed, he caught Gong Lü’s faint, sweeping glance and nearly knelt, ready to beg for mercy. It was all Yan Baba’s fault; otherwise, he was sure he could have held it in!
Seeing Gong Lü’s explanation, Ye Luo quietly returned to her meal, ignoring their playful antics.
After finishing, Lei Xingxing glanced at Gong Lü with a look full of hesitation.
Gong Lü, unable to ignore it, asked, “What is it?”
“Heh heh...” Lei Xingxing chuckled sheepishly, scratching the back of his head, clearly embarrassed. “Um, Mr. President, could you give me one of your leg hairs?”
Gong Lü: “...”
Though Ye Luo was used to Lei Xingxing and the others often being silly, she still remained speechless.
Ye Wuqi lunged at Lei Xingxing: “Big gorilla! I told you all of Mr. President’s leg hair belongs to me! Don’t compete with me! Don’t compete with me!”
Gong Lü’s mouth twitched. Then, pretending not to hear, he pulled out an exquisitely packaged, elegant gift box and handed it to Ye Luo on his left.
Ye Luo didn’t take it but asked, “What is it?”
---
“Chocolate.” He had said he would give her everything, truly everything. This was just the first step.
Ye Luo was about to decline when Ye Wuqi stopped his attack on Lei Xingxing and dashed over, snatching the gift box away.
“Sister Luo, I’ll take this back to the classroom for you. You can just give it to Mr. President. We won’t see you off—we have to help Old Jiang move some things. He just messaged me to bring people over.”
With that, Ye Wuqi beckoned Yan Baba and the others to follow him away.
Ye Luo: “...”
Chocolate...
Was she imagining things?
Why did it feel like the ancestor was making a concerted effort to set her up with Gong Lü?
Could it really be because Gong Lü was his idol??
That was why he was so eager to play matchmaker?
