Chapter 1106 MEET THE PARENTS (I)
SU YUQI glanced at Luo Jin when she heard the question. Although the other was trying to put on a nonchalant expression, those furrowed brows betrayed what he really thought.
She chuckled. "He's one of my father's disciples. Probably the best one out of all of them."
Luo Jin's brows furrowed even further when he heard that. "So, because of that, the elders in your family planned to have you two...?"
He stopped because he couldn't bear to say the words 'get married'.
"Don't pay attention to what Wenyu said. That girl seems to have an inferiority complex towards me for some unknown reason. So, she would say and do things that would get on my nerves on purpose," Su Yuqi said.
Luo Jin thought back to that woman's attitude and understood what Su Yuqi meant. "It's understandable if she felt inferior. Not to mention her attitude, in terms of appearance, and how she carried herself, you're just superior in every way."
"Now that's just your bias and your feelings for me talking," Su Yuqi said with a laugh. "Wenyu is not a bad kid. She's just blinded by her jealousy at the moment. Most likely because of Ning Feng. But I'm sure she would grow out of it."
Luo Jin didn't really care whether that woman changed or not, or if the reason she was acting like that was because of some guy. The only time he would be concerned about her is if she ever negatively affected Su Yuqi. Anyway, right now, there's a topic that's much more important than that.
"So, there's absolutely no chance for you to, you know, with that Ning Feng person?" he asked, going back to the previous topic.
Su Yuqi looked at Luo Jin with an expression as if saying, 'you never give up, do you?'. Despite that, she still answered his question.
Luo Jin felt relieved when he heard that. Su Yuqi's logical answer finally made his brain working properly again. He was about to say something when his stomach suddenly made a growling sound.
"No, not at all. First, my father would never allow it—unless, of course, it's something I truly wanted, in which case he might reluctantly agree, but that's not the case here. Second, I would never be forced into doing something I don't want to do."
Luo Jin felt relieved when he heard that. Su Yuqi's logical answer finally made his brain working properly again. He was about to say something when his stomach suddenly made a growling sound.
Su Yuqi looked at him, whose face had now turned red, and then laughed. "You haven't had lunch yet?"
"I kind of went here in a hurry after getting off the plane," Luo Jin said, embarrassingly.
"Well, what a coincidence, I also haven't eaten lunch. Let's go grab a bite somewhere. But first, you should greet my parents. Oh, and call that secretary who came with you. He might be looking for you right now."
Su Yuqi thought of that last part just now. Knowing Luo Jin, he definitely hadn't thought of the secretary who came with him. Thinking that the person might be wandering around the museum looking for Luo Jin, she felt a bit of pity for the other.
What Su Yuqi said about the secretary went in one ear and out the other for Luo Jin, completely forgetting about it after just a second. Because his mind was now only filled with nothing but the thought that he would soon meet both of her parents.
Although he had met her father, that didn't really account to much since that happened inside a police station. But this time was different. It was almost like a formal occasion. Not to mention, he would also meet Su Yuqi's mother.
How could he not be nervous?
As Su Yuqi was pulling Luo Jin along, she suddenly remembered something she forgot to tell him. Something about Ning Feng, to be exact. That Ning Feng also played Arcadia and that he happened to be the captain of team Fenghuang - currently one of the top four teams in the game.
Oh well, she could just tell it to Luo Jin later.

Inside the museum's private lounge, a man in his forties dressed in a white Tang suit reclined wearily. His handsome face bore signs of exhaustion. Across from him sat a beautiful woman in a white cheongsam, her gentle expression tinged with a helpless smile as she looked at the man.
They were Su Cheng Han and his wife, Chen Jiahui.
After speaking with the museum director, they had to engage with some VIPs who attended the exhibit. Hours passed, and now Su Cheng Han was completely exhausted. He just wanted to return home and sit in his rocking chair.
Knowing what her husband was thinking, Chen Jiahui said, "Who told you to prepare such a large scale exhibit?"
"But it's my way of showing how much I love our daughter," Su Cheng Han grumbled.
"Who in the art world doesn't know that?" Chen Jiahui said, rolling her eyes. "Besides, you should know that Qiqi would rather have a private dinner with us to celebrate her birthday than have an exhibit in her name."
Su Cheng Han pouted. "I know. But still. Is it so bad to want to brag about our daughter?"
Chen Jiahui shook her head. "Since this is something you wanted, then stop looking like you want to go home."
Before Su Cheng Han could respond to his wife, there was a knock on the door of the private lounge. He quickly adjusted his expression, just in case the one at the door might be a museum staff member.
But the one who walked inside was his daughter and some young man.
Su Cheng Han immediately frowned when he saw such a combination. Completely disregarding the fact that the young man looked somehow familiar. He didn't have time to ask who the other was because his daughter had already spoken before he could.
"Mom, Dad, look who I brought." Su Yuqi turned to her father. "Dad, you remember Ah Jin, right? The one from the police station?"
Su Cheng Han seemed to have a moment of realization when he heard that. The frown on his face smoothed out as he exclaimed, "Ah, that brave high school student!"
