Chapter 11 - Pick It Up

When Bai Qihan heard this, his hand, which was on his wheelchair, froze for a moment. However, he did not say a thing.

"Hubby." Luo Yun suddenly turned around and smiled at him. She went to push his wheelchair and said, "I'll send you to the car first." After saying that, before Qiu Ming could react, she pushed his wheelchair away. She could not let herself be discouraged; she had to fight for everything herself. If she gave up without even trying, that would not fit her usual style, and it would truly be a pity.

Although Luo Yun insisted, Qiu Ming was scared out of his wits. He quickly followed after her and grabbed the side of the wheelchair. "Madam, please allow me to carry out this kind of physical work."

However, Luo Yun did not let go of the wheelchair and said with a firm tone, "When we came, you were the one who pushed his wheelchair. Now that we're returning, it's naturally my turn. One chance for each person; this is fair."

Qiu Ming was confused. He had no idea what was going on in the madam's head. Since when had they established that they were playing such a game?

"Special Assistant Qiu, I am Bai Qihan's wife. It is my responsibility to take care of him," Luo Yun continued. "When I'm not around, I do need to trouble you to do so, but when I'm around, just leave such things to me."

Qiu Ming was speechless. He wondered what was wrong with this woman who was practically taking away his job from him.

"Can we go?" Bai Qihan pinched the space between his eyebrows as he spoke.

"Of course! Let's go." Luo Yun's mood was instantly lifted. Bai Qihan had not rejected her right away. This was an improvement! Love was so easily attainable. She pushed him, her steps careful and cautious.

Qiu Ming stood cautiously at the side, trembling with fear. He was afraid that Luo Yun would suddenly cause trouble. However, after watching her for some time, he saw that she really did not have any malicious intentions, and his anxious heart slowly relaxed.

"I'll get the driver to pick you up later." Halfway through, Bai Qihan suddenly said, "Call him if you need anything."

"Alright." Luo Yun replied obediently, "I'll be good here. I'll be back hom soon. Don't worry."

"Mm," replied Bai Qihan.

Luo Yun watched the black Maybach leave, and then she headed back to the birthday celebration. The banquet had already started. She took a deep breath and smelled the aroma of barbecued meat. She was suddenly hungry. "Uncle, is the steak ready?"

"Three more minutes." The chef was hired by the Luo family at a high price. He was not a servant of the Luo family, so he naturally did not know Luo Yun. Seeing that she was beautiful, he eagerly said, "I'll make sure to leave you the freshest and juiciest cut."

"Thank you, uncle." After waiting for the steak to be ready, Luo Yun smoothly picked up her cut of steak and then looked around. She picked a bit of fruit and added it to her plate. Then, she found a decent location and was about to enjoy the food when someone suddenly gave her a forceful pat on the back. As she was unprepared, the forceful pat caused her body to jolt forward, resulting in her fork shallowly piercing her lips. At this moment, some blood could be seen flowing out from the wound on her lips, while the tender piece of steak that she was just about to put in her mouth was now on the ground.

"Oh, I was wondering who this was. So it was you, Luo Yun. Did you come here to secretly eat some food? Does the Bai family not give you any food, so you came here to the Luo family to beg for food? Are you a beggar?" A mean and unruly female voice sounded behind her.

Luo Yun raised her handkerchief to her lips and wiped her lips. She stood up and looked at the person who had come. She was the youngest daughter of the Luo family, Luo Ziqiong. She was 20 years old this year and had just started her first year at a university. As she was the youngest daughter, she had been pampered since she was young, and that had led to her developing an arrogant and domineering personality. Moreover, because she loved to eat sweet and oily things, she was on the plump side. She was 1.5 meters tall, and her face was full of pimples. Even the extremely expensive foundation she used could not cover them all up. Besides that, her luxurious clothes failed to provide her with any charm to speak of.

Luo Yun retracted her gaze and looked indifferently at the blood on the handkerchief. Then, he looked at the steak on the ground and said in a lazy and cold voice, "Pick it up."

"What the hell did you just say? Who do you think you're talking to?" Luo Ziqiong looked at the person in front of her in shock.

Luo Ziqiong had been jealous of Luo Yun ever since they were children. Although Luo Yun was an illegitimate daughter and did not fit in with the family, she was still pretty! She could never accept the fact that Luo Yun was prettier than her, so she had once cut Luo Yun's face with a knife. She bullied Luo Yun for fun every day, treating her no different from a toy. However, that same "toy" that she always used to play around with actually dared to resist her now?

"You've gotten quite brazen. You actually dare to raise your voice at me?! We only haven't seen each other for a few days, yet it looks like you've forgotten all your manners and need to be taught a lesson!" Luo Ziqiong's eyes widened as her expression became twisted. Out of habit, she slapped Luo Yun. However, this time, before she could touch Luo Yun, she felt a sharp pain in her arm.

Luo Yun had stabbed her raised arm with a fork, and blood immediately came pouring out!
