Chapter 129: Chat

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Li Ci returned home that night, Li Ran was chatting on her cell phone and was typing on the cell phone’s keyboard with both hands. From time to time, she would smile shyly. She didn’t even notice that her uncle had returned home.

Li Ci had bought a duplex villa by the river. After Li Ran’s divorce, she had been living here with Li Ci.

When the servant saw Li Ci return, she went forward to help Li Ci take off her coat and folded it neatly.

Li Ci asked, “How long has Miss been like this?”

The servant replied, “She’s been like this since she came back in the afternoon.

She didn’t even put down her phone during dinner.”

“Oh really?”

Li Ci smiled and went in front of Li Ran with a gossipy look on his face. “Who is my dear niece chatting with?”

Li Ran quickly hugged her cell phone and refused to let Li Ci see her screen. “No one! It’s just… Zhou Yao! I’m chatting with Zhou Yao.”

Every time Li Ran lied, she would stare straight into someone’s eyes, as if she was proving that she wasn’t lying. Li Ci had long seen through this habit of hers.

Li Ci sighed and leaned against the sofa. Then, he raised his long legs and placed them on the small cloth stool that was specifically used to place his feet.

“Why are you panicking? I’m not stopping you from dating.”

Li Ran’s face flushed. “What nonsense are you talking about?! It’s not at that stage yet.”

“Who is it?” Li Ci closed his eyes to rest and didn’t look at her at all.

Li Ci knew Li Ran’s temper very well. She was hot-tempered and did things based on her mood. She wouldn’t stop before she got what she. It was the same when it came to her crushes. For her to be able to chat with him for the entire afternoon, she must be interested in him.

Li Ran stammered for a long time. She didn’t want to say it, but she really couldn’t hold it in, especially in front of her uncle.

“My heels accidentally sank into the manhole cover near the mall this afternoon. A boy helped me, so I asked for his contact information. I want to return the favor.”

Li Ci opened her eyes slightly and glanced at her calmly. Li Ran’s eyes darted back and forth. It seemed like she was serious about him.

Li Ci asked, “Is that boy very handsome?”

“Of course not!” Li Ran immediately retorted. Then, she muttered softly, “He’s very ordinary-looking, but… I can tell that he’s a very levelheaded boy! And he’s very smart! He’s simply a computer expert! A computer genius!”

The more Li Ran spoke, the more excited she became. In the end, she sat up straight and bent one leg over the sofa to face Li Ci as she started praising Zhou Liu. “Let me tell you, he graduated at the top of his class! Furthermore, his job is very outstanding. He was the first among the interns to become a full-time employee! Also, he’s really a gentleman. When he helped me today, he didn’t take the opportunity to take advantage of me at all. I said that 1 wanted to treat him to a meal, but he turned me down and said that it was no big deal…”

Li Ran was beaming with joy as she explained the details to Li Ci.

It had only been one afternoon, but Li Ran had already figured out the other party’s background so clearly. Only someone with her personality was capable of doing so.

Li Ci could already imagine Li Ran’s words in the chat box, and the other party’s polite replies when he wasn’t working.

While Li Ci was listening to Li Ran’s explanation, he closed his eyes to rest, but when he heard Li Ran say that the other party was a computer expert, he suddenly became interested in this person and began to listen attentively.

When Li Ran finally finished telling her everything she knew, Li Ci asked with feigned indifference, “Then do you know his name? Do you know where he works?”

Li Ran placed her thumb by her mouth and gently bit her unmanicured nails. This was her habit. Whenever she felt a little bashful, she would do this.

“Uh… 1 only know that his name is Zhou Liu. He said that the company he works for has to be kept a secret, so he can’t tell me.”

Li Ci’s eyes suddenly opened, and a shrewd look flashed across them as some ideas came to mind..
