NovelEnglishChapter 19: It's free here
Lu Haiqiao thought for a moment. "Maybe another day. I have something to do tomorrow afternoon."
Lu Yunge: "Don't tell me you have to go to work."
Lu Haiqiao: "Well, working is indeed one of the reasons why I'm not free."
The main reason was she had to 'conveniently' stop by the cafe on the way and order another iced Americano.
Lu Yunge snorted in disdain, "Work? What's there to do at work? Our family doesn't rely on you to bring back honor."
"Haiqiao, remember that your surname is Lu, not Su. Your mission in this world is to enjoy life and do what you love. For all the other annoying minor stuff, you have me, Second Brother, and even Ahyan to protect you. We're all older than you, and it's our responsibility to take care of you, got it?"
Ahyan, Lu Yange, 25 years old, the youngest chief surgeon of the B City First People's Hospital, Lu Haiqiao's third cousin.
Lu Yange was the one who sent her the message that read, "He's back, just arrived." before she went into surgery.

Checking the time on her phone, she said, "It's too late now. I'm heading back."
Lu Yunge stopped her, "Shall I give you a ride?"
Lu Haiqiao waved it off. "No need. If you have time, train those few subordinates you brought over. They can't even stand up straight, like wilted chives. Boring."
Lu Yunge: "..."
I shouldn't have genuinely worried that you would be in danger on the way home!
"By the way," as she reached the door, Lu Haiqiao suddenly turned around. "I'll leave my good friend here. Take good care of it."
Lu Yunge: "Aren't you driving it home?"
Lu Haiqiao: "If I drive it back, I'll have to pay the parking fee. It's free here."
Lu Yunge: ...
Are you that short on money?
...
The next day, Lu Haiqiao arrived at the cafe at noon.
She remembered that they served light meals and desserts in the cafe, so she deliberately skipped lunch.
To her surprise, the emptiness of the previous day had been replaced by bustling activity today. As she entered the cafe, it was crowded with people, and there wasn't an empty seat in sight.
Even the area closest to the restroom had been temporarily set up with tables and chairs, and every seat was occupied.
Lu Haiqiao quickly surveyed the scene. The owner was not around.
Not far away, Xie Xuan stood with his back against the bar counter as if he had no bones.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis was the man who drew the attention of all the women in the cafe.
However, he seemed oblivious to the admiring glances and was engrossed in playing with a Rubik's Cube. There were four youngsters with delicate features keeping themselves busy around him.
Seeing Zhou Nuo approaching the bar with two empty cups, Second Xie couldn't help but lean over and ask in a hushed tone, "Brother Nuo, did the boss call us back overnight just to work here?"
Originally, only Big Xie and Second Xie had been called back to B City. But unexpectedly, right before they boarded the plane, the long-missing Third Xie appeared.
Third Xie, whose real name was unknown, was the General Manager of Double X Group, usually staying in F Country. He rarely met guests and was a mysterious person.
Even he had to return. It seemed like something earth-shattering was happening.
Big Xie and Second Xie didn't dare to let their guard down from the moment they boarded the plane.
Never would they have imagined that as soon as they got off the plane, they would be handed aprons.
At that moment, a slender figure approached the bar.
"Hello, may I have an iced Americano to go, please? Thank you."
Upon hearing the voice, Xie Xuan, who was at the last step of solving the Rubik's Cube, paused.
