214: Chapter 214 The God of Love Arrives, Lu Yike Returns to Her Girlhood

Zeng Xiaoxian opened the door, and everyone turned their heads to look — it was Nuolan.

She was in a white dress, long hair draped over her shoulders, standing at the door looking pitiful.

"Hello everyone..." Nuolan's gaze fell on Zhao Yang, and she said, "Chief Prosecutor Zhao is going to Handong Province tomorrow, and Xiaoxian also asked me to come over to bid you farewell."

Zhao Yang thought to himself, 'Good grief!'

She really deserves her reputation as the super BOSS standing between Zeng Xiaoxian and Hu Yifei. With those watery eyes paired with that gentle voice, most people really wouldn't be able to handle it.

However, he didn't have any ill feelings toward Nuolan. In the original series, when Nuolan appeared, Zeng Xiaoxian and Hu Yifei hadn't confirmed their relationship yet.

It wasn't just the original series; it was the same in this spacetime. At best, Nuolan was just a later suitor; it couldn't be called a third-party intrusion.

The problem actually lay with Zeng Xiaoxian. This guy was too indecisive; who knows how much water was in his brain, especially when it came to relationships. If it were up to Zhao Yang, he would have had Hu Yifei and Nuolan each give Zeng Xiaoxian a kick and send him to the ends of the earth. Two women living together would be better than Zeng Xiaoxian.

"Thank you." Zhao Yang said to Nuolan, "I've heard about you from Xiaoxian, and I've also listened to your program; the quality is very high."

Nuolan smiled slightly at Zhao Yang: "Thank you, Chief Prosecutor Zhao. I wish you all the best and a smooth career in Handong Province."

"Thank you."

After the pleasantries were over, Nuolan took her seat next to Zeng Xiaoxian.

After she joined, the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit strange, but after a few rounds of drinks, all those worries disappeared. Even Hu Yifei started joking about Zeng Xiaoxian with Nuolan, and Chen Meijia told Tang Youyou every detail of her embarrassing moments when she had a crush on Guan Gu back in the day.

Young people, you know, once the alcohol kicks in, who likes whom doesn't matter anymore.

Even though it was a farewell dinner for Zhao Yang, the topic gradually shifted to Mai Duo, and then everyone cursed the screenwriter of spirit cage — Liuliuqiu.

Listening to everyone unleash one vicious curse after another at "Liuliuqiu," Zhao Yang really didn't know whether to cry or laugh, because "Liuliuqiu" was his alias.

After the meal, Zhao Yang returned to the villa with everyone's blessings. Lin Wanyu also followed, helped Zhao Yang tidy up, and stayed at the villa that night.

Early the next morning, Zhao Yang got up early and boarded the flight to Handong Province.

At the entrance of the Handong Procuratorate, Zhou Zheng stared dumbfounded at the glowing Lu Yike and Lin Huahua. Lin Huahua occasionally wore light makeup, so today was just a bit heavier. But Lu Yike, this deputy director, had always gone bare-faced, yet today she had actually put on makeup, and even her hair was freshly styled; she looked like a completely different person.

Lu Yike noticed his look was off and glared at him: "What are you looking at? We're going to pick up the new Chief Prosecutor today, why didn't you bother to tidy yourself up? Look at your hair, it's like a bird's nest; you're really embarrassing me."

Zhou Zheng smiled bitterly: "Director Lu, I'm a man; it's different for us."

Lu Yike sneered: "A man, you say? In a moment, I'll let you see what our new Chief Prosecutor looks like, and you can see what a man should look like."

Zhou Zheng twitched his mouth and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He, of course, knew that Zhao Yang was a handsome guy, but those photos must have been taken when he was in his twenties. Now that Zhao Yang was already at the sub-provincial level, he had to be in his forties; no matter how handsome he was when he was young, at this age, he would have become a greasy middle-aged man.

He silently complained to himself — 'Just wait until we pick up a greasy middle-aged man, let's see what kind of expressions you'll have then.'

Afterward, Zhou Zheng drove the two of them to the Handong Province International Airport.

Lu Yike craned her neck and finally recognized the senior she had been longing for in the crowd. She felt as if she had returned to her days in the Imperial Capital and became that young girl with clear eyes again. Lu Yike waved her hand vigorously and shouted: "Senior, Senior, here! I'm here!"

Lin Huahua looked at Zhao Yang in casual clothes and swallowed hard: "My god, he's even more handsome than in the photos. Slim waist, broad shoulders, long legs, sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, straight nose and square mouth. With a Chief Prosecutor like this, why would anyone watch movie stars?"

"Is this our Chief Prosecutor?" Zhou Zheng was also stunned, rubbing his eyes hard, "If this guy is over thirty, I'll feed these two eyes of mine to the dogs."

Lu Yike glanced at him and said disdainfully: "Find a place and dig your eyes out yourself. My senior is thirty-seven years old this year."

Lin Huahua's eyes went wide: "Director Lu, are you kidding me?"

"Go read Prosecutor Zhao's resume yourself." Lu Yike couldn't be bothered to pay attention to her anymore, walked up to Zhao Yang, and gave him a direct hug, "Senior, I've been waiting for you to come."

Zhao Yang hugged Lu Yike tightly, then let go, and smiled: "Haven't seen you in a few years, how did you get so thin? The fat on your face is all gone."

Lu Yike laughed: "Hehe, small faces are in fashion now anyway. Prosecutor Zhao, come, let me introduce you — this is Lin Huahua, section chief of our Anti-Corruption Bureau's Comprehensive Section, and this is Zhou Zheng, an investigator from the First Division."

Zhao Yang smiled faintly at the two and reached out his hand: "Hello."

Lin Huahua immediately rushed to grab Zhao Yang's hand, staring straight at Zhao Yang's face, and said: "Prosecutor Zhao, hello. We have been looking forward to your arrival. Now that you're here, we all have a backbone. Prosecutor Zhao, you look even more handsome than in the photos. You must be tired from the long journey from Magic City, are you..."

Seeing Lin Huahua holding Zhao Yang's hand and refusing to let go, while babbling incoherently, Lu Yike felt embarrassed. She patted Lin Huahua's arm and glared at her: "Prosecutor Zhao came from far away, he's not here to listen to your nonsense."

Lin Huahua quickly let go of his hand, looking embarrassed: "Prosecutor Zhao, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's really... You are just too handsome, I couldn't help it."

Zhao Yang waved his hand: "It's fine, I'm used to it."

Afterward, he shook hands with Zhou Zheng, and they walked out of the airport together. Zhao Yang said as they walked: "Yike, didn't I tell you not to come pick me up? I can just go to my accommodation myself."

Lu Yike smiled bitterly: "Senior, you are the dignified Chief Prosecutor of the Handong Procuratorate, coming to Handong Province to take office, and you want to take a taxi to your accommodation yourself? If this gets back to the Provincial Party Committee, we'll all be in trouble."

Zhao Yang smiled: "I appreciate the good intention. But I already had someone transport my car to the airport in advance; it's parked in the parking lot."

Lu Yike's eyes lit up: "You brought that phaeton here? Great, I haven't driven such an expensive car before; I'll drive for you in a bit."

"The phaeton was lent to Prosecutor Qin a long time ago." Zhao Yang smiled, "I switched to a Hongdou M9, supporting domestic products."

Lu Yike smiled: "Our Procuratorate actually has quite a few people who have switched to Hongdou, but they are M5s; that car is really beautiful. Senior, my birthday is coming up soon, why don't you give me a car?"

"Sure, I'll buy you one, no big deal." Zhao Yang smiled.

Lu Yike was stunned, then smiled: "Then I want a blue one with a white interior."

"No problem, blue exterior and white interior, top trim. I'll order one for you tonight, I estimate you can pick it up before your birthday." Zhao Yang smiled.

The conversation left Lin Huahua and Zhou Zheng stunned.

What was going on here? In Handong Province, there were plenty of people who wanted to give gifts to Lu Yike, but no one dared to — if you gave it one day, the Anti-Corruption Bureau would invite you for tea the next day.

Right now, Lu Yike had actually happily accepted a car?

But this was even more wrong. The person giving the car was Zhao Yang, her direct superior. Is that how you give gifts?

Still not right — it seemed that the car just now was something Lu Yike had taken the initiative to ask for. A deputy director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau openly asking her direct superior for an expensive gift?

This was even more chaotic!

... Thanks to the godfathers for the gifts, wishing the godfathers a safe and healthy Dragon Boat Festival.
