The Return Of The God Level Assassin (WN)-Chapter 1108 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YUQI

1108 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YUQI

LUO JIN didn't know how to answer Uncle Su's question without sounding like he was totally here for Su Yuqi. He's not very good at lying. So, the moment he opened his mouth, he knew it would only sound like an excuse. But he had to answer. The longer he stayed silent, the more suspicious he would seem.

When he was about to just blurt out whatever that came to his mind first, Su Yuqi had already beaten him to it.

"I invited him because he needs to write a paper about a national artist, so I suggested that he write about you, Dad. I mean, if we're talking about a national artist, aren't you the ultimate example? It just so happens that you're having an exhibit today, so I suggested to Ah Jin that he should see your paintings in person. That way, he can write a better paper."

Su Yuqi said that in a very ordinary way, as if she was simply talking about the weather. Which only made what she said sound very credible. Luo Jin almost applauded the other. Especially after he saw the reaction of Uncle Su.

A huge smile appeared on the other's face, obviously appearing very proud and happy. "Hmm... that's a very good reason." He turned to Luo Jin. "So, Xiao Jin, have you seen enough to write a good paper?"

"O-oh, yes! Definitely! I think I will get full points because I saw Uncle Su's paintings in person," Luo Jin said, trying to sound upbeat. He avoided looking at the other person because he knew if he did, he would definitely stammer, making it obvious that he was lying.

"If you need to interview me for your paper, you can do it after we eat."

"Yes," Luo Jin could only say, forcing himself to sound happy. It's not like he could say that there's no need for that.

He was just glad that he was able to get through this safely. Of course, the main reason he was able to was because of Su Yuqi. He glanced at her and gently tapped the side of her right foot to silently say thank you. Su Yuqi also turned to him, her gaze filled with mirth.

While Su Cheng Han remained unaware, Cheng Jiahui keenly observed the silent interaction between the two.

It was obvious to her that what her daughter had just said was a lie. But because her husband was a bit na?ve at times, especially when it came to their daughter, he didn't notice anything at all.

He only focused on the fact that their daughter was praising him and completely forgot everything else—like the fact that there's no way a high school student would travel this far just to write a paper, if there ever was one. Her husband should have realized that any normal high school student would prefer to search the internet to finish their assignment rather than fly by plane to another city.

Chen Jiahui looked at Luo Jin. Aside from his young age, everything else was more than up to standard. Lowering her gaze, she picked up the teacup before her and took a sip, a slight smile forming at the corner of her lips.

Her daughter certainly had good taste.

After the nerve-wracking lunch, Luo Jin finally managed to be alone with Su Yuqi. It took a while, though, since he had to conduct a mini-interview with Uncle Su to maintain appearances. After all, he still had to uphold the illusion that he was here to write a paper about Uncle Su.

After everything was done, while he was pondering how to be alone with Su Yuqi, Aunt Jiahui pulled Uncle Su back to the museum, saying that he still had to interact with some VIPs. She suggested to him and Su Yuqi that they take a break at a nearby cafe if they wanted to. Uncle Su wasn't able to complain because Aunt Jiahui physically overpowered him. Which was very surprising.

Because of Aunt Jiahui's coincidental interruption, Luo Jin and Su Yuqi were able to be alone now. They didn't go to the cafe Aunt Jiahui mentioned, though. Instead, Su Yuqi suggested they went to a nearby park. But she insisted that she would change clothes first.

They went to a shopping mall first. Su Yuqi bought some clothes there and changed into them. She also removed the wig and let her original dyed blue hair down.

Frankly, Luo Jin was slightly disappointed that Su Yuqi took off the cheongsam. After all, when would he have another chance to see her wearing something like that? Luckily, he secretly took a candid shot of her while she wasn't looking. He planned to make it his phone's wallpaper later.

With all of that done, they finally went to the park. Of course, Secretary Gao drove them there. When he said that he and Su Yuqi would just take a walk and he should stay in the car, Secretary Gao looked very troubled. But at the end, the other only sighed and nodded.

They walked along a path lined with cherry blossom trees, their branches adorned with delicate pink blossoms in full bloom. It was the heart of spring, and the air was filled with the soft fragrance of cherry blossoms. Pink petals danced and fluttered in the gentle breeze, swirling and cascading around them like a shower of confetti, guided by the whims of the wind.

As Luo Jin followed a single petal with his gaze, it gently landed on top of Su Yuqi's head. Subconsciously, he reached out and plucked the petal. At that precise moment, Su Yuqi raised her head, and their eyes met.

Normally, he would have already stepped back and might be blushing right now. But somehow, he found himself surprisingly calm.

After a few seconds of admiring Su Yuqi's beautiful face, he finally spoke of one of the two things he had come here to say to her.

"Happy birthday, Yuqi."

Su Yuqi blinked and then grinned widely. "And here I thought you had forgotten to wish me a happy birthday."
