Chapter 425 - UNDERGROUND COUPLE

THEY were walking at the garden of the monastery when Shen Ji Yun reconvened with them. Luo Yan secretly looked at him. He appeared to have run here in a hurry. As evidence of the sweat profusely falling from his forehead. It must have been quite a run considering the cold weather.

He wondered where the other went to. Shen Yi Mu said that he just went to buy something. If Shen Ji Yun was so secretive about it, could it be a gift for him? Luo Yan shook his head. He shouldn't make assumptions. He didn't want to embarrass himself again like earlier.

It didn't matter whether he buy him a gift or not. What's more important was for him to be able to give him his gift.

Luo Yan had already called the shop. Which was not a very easy thing to do because he had to be very, very stealthy about it. Just so he wouldn't arouse the suspicious of his family. Really, he already felt like he was in an underground relationship even though he really wasn't.

Anyway, the gift he bought would be deliver to the hotel. He also especially asked to wrap it up nicely. He only had to sent the payment by the mode of transaction that they indicated. Which wasn't really that hard.

He really hoped that Shen Ji Yun would like his gift.

Suddenly, he felt his phone vibrating. He took it out of his pocket and saw that it was a WeChat message from Shen Ji Yun. He raised one of his brows before reading it.

[luckycloud]: Yan Yan, can you meet up with me before me and my uncle leave tonight?

Luo Yan became curious when he read that. But he still glanced back and nodded slightly towards Shen Ji Yun who was currently looking at him. Once he did, he quickly noticed the small smile that appeared on the other's lips.

If Shen Ji Yun looked so happy just because of that, then he must have prepared something for him. Luo Yan's mood quickly brightened when he realized that. This time, maybe his intuition was not wrong.

Then he suddenly realized that their little action just now was truly like that of an underground couple trying to hide their relationship. He chuckled. And just shook his head because of his silly thoughts.

Time passed by and it was already lunch.

After eating a Sichuan hotpot at one of the monastery's restaurants, they then proceeded to their next destination – Qingyang Palace.

----------

Their afternoon tour ended at four o'clock. Because the Shen uncle and nephew pair at seven, they had to return back to the hotel. It didn't matter because their tour was still quite fruitful.

After going to Qingyang Palace – a Taoist temple with beautiful architecture, they proceeded on going to Wuhou Shrine with its beautiful garden and famous red walls. 

Luo Yan managed to take a lot of beautiful pictures. 

Later this evening, they would eat at Anshun Lang Bridge. Then they would go and watch a Sichuan Opera. But Shen Ji Yun and his uncle would not be there since they would already be on their way back to B City by then.

Although it's quite disappointing, Luo Yan couldn't do anything about it. After all, Shen Yi Mu must also be very busy. What he could do was to successfully give his gift to Shen Ji Yun.

"Xiao Shen, I'll let Ah Ren be in charge of that business we talked about last night," Luo Wei Tian said to Shen Yi Mu when they entered the lobby. He was talking about the plan on investing on Moonlight Media's new project. "You can scold him freely if he doesn't do a good job."

"Brother Luo joked. I'm sure Xiao Ren will do a good job."

"I will definitely not let the both of you down," Luo Ren assured the two.

"Then you and Xiao Yun take care going back to B City," Luo Wei Tian said to the uncle and nephew.

"Brother Luo and your family also," Shen Yi Mu returned.

After the two parties said goodbye, they walked towards two adjacent elevators. 

Luo Yan could feel Shen Ji Yun staring at him, probably thinking of their appointment. He sighed a bit. [Brother Ji Yun, can't you a little less obvious?]

When his father and brothers entered the elevator, he suddenly said, "Dad, I forgot something at the nanny car. You three go on ahead."

He saw that Luo Jin was about to complain but the elevator door already closed. He let out a sigh of relief. It's the same tactic he used yesterday. Good thing it still worked.

When he turned around, he almost had a heart attack when he found that Shen Ji Yun was standing behind him. "Oh, you scared me."

"Sorry," Shen Ji Yun apologized, scratching his cheek. "I—"

"Brother Ji Yun, go to that Western restaurant on the sixth floor and wait for me there," Luo Yan said before pushing Shen Ji Yun to another elevator.

He was worried that if they just stayed in the lobby, one of his brothers would eventually come back. And then the two of them wouldn't be able to do what they wanted to do.

He smiled wryly. They truly were acting like a pair of underground couples.

"Wait- Yan Yan—"

Shen Ji Yun wasn't able to finish because he saw Luo Yan running towards the reception desk. Although confused, he still followed what his rabbit said and clicked the sixth floor. The only important thing was that they could have time alone so he could give him his gift.

Luo Yan, on the other hand, walked towards the reception desk. He asked the shop where he bought the item to leave it at the reception desk of the hotel once they delivered it and he would just pick it up later. They agreed with no problems.

"Good afternoon," he greeted the female receptionist with a smile.

The receptionist immediately felt like an arrow hit her heart seeing such a beautiful boy. So, her smiled became more genuine. "Yes, what can I do for you?"

"Ahm, I actually bought something from a shop and they promised to deliver it here," Luo Yan started. "The item should be addressed to Luo Yan."

"Ah, yes, something like that did arrive earlier," the receptionist said, remembering the item that was delivered. "Please, wait awhile." She went to another receptionist and then came back holding a small paper bag. "Do you have the receipt number for this item?"

"Yes." Luo Yan took out his phone and showed the receptionist the receipt from the shop.

"Here you go," the receptionist said, giving him the paper bag.

"Thank you, Sister!" he said, smiling sweetly again at the receptionist. 

The receptionist felt like her heart had been hit again. What a cute boy!

Luo Yan quickly dashed towards the elevator and clicked the sixth floor. He looked inside the paper bag and saw a tightly sealed box. It seemed that the shop kind of overdid it with the packaging. 

Soon, he arrived at the sixth floor. He then walked towards the Western restaurant he told Shen Ji Yun.
