Chapter 276: Chapter 276 You Are Not My Family
Qiao Yun stared at Li Hanzhou, her eyes unblinking.
She seemed to be somewhat anticipating Li Hanzhou’s answer.
She had thought about the meaning of Li Hanzhou’s phrase before, but could not think of anything beyond being good friends.
What else could they be?
Because no one had taught her these things, she was a robot, supposedly ignorant of human emotions.
Li Hanzhou asked her, “Are you happy being friends with me?”
“Mm,” Qiao Yun did not deny.
“Would you be willing to have a better relationship with me?”
“A better relationship? Aren’t we already very good friends?”
She did not understand.
Li Hanzhou told her, “In this world, there is not only friendship, friends, but also others.”
“Family?” Qiao Yun had a family, so she could understand kinship, “But you aren’t my family.”

“I could be your family, as long as you agree,” Li Hanzhou cast a wide net, waiting for Qiao Yun to walk into it.
Qiao Yun looked at him blankly, believing that only people with blood relations could be family, yet she and Li Hanzhou were not related by blood.
Of course, Grandpa and Pei Ya were exceptions.
Li Hanzhou looked at Qiao Yun’s innocent eyes, his heart softened slightly, and at last he couldn’t bear to keep the net out.
“Qiao Yun, I want to be your family.”
He did not explicitly tell Qiao Yun that one need not have blood relations to be family, that it could also be without any blood relation.
He simply stated his intention.
Li Hanzhou knew, Qiao Yun lacked emotions, she was naive about feelings, which is why she would set standards based on others’ behaviors.
To judge what should and what shouldn’t be done.
He shouldn’t have impulsively troubled Qiao Yun just because someone confessed their feelings to her.
“You’ll understand how to act in time.”
“I’ll try my best.” Although Qiao Yun could not understand, she did not want to disappoint Li Hanzhou.
Li Hanzhou wanted to say that it’s not only about learning, but looking into Qiao Yun’s clear, sincere eyes.
He swallowed back the words anyway.
Learning for now could also work.
“Sister.”
Lu Jingzhi had noticed long ago that Li Hanzhou had brought Qiao Yun back. It had been quite some time that the two were standing outside talking and not entering, and he could not help but come out to intervene.
He nodded at Li Hanzhou in greeting.
Although he was opposed to Qiao Yun being friends with Li Hanzhou, proper manners still had to be observed.
“Why haven’t you come in yet?” Lu Jingzhi looked at Qiao Yun, his voice deep and his expression somewhat solemn.
Qiao Yun glanced at him and said to Li Hanzhou, “Be careful on the road.”
“Okay.” Li Hanzhou hooked his lips and, in front of Lu Jingzhi, ruffled Qiao Yun’s head.
Lu Jingzhi’s expression darkened, and he almost thought that Li Hanzhou was deliberately provoking him.
But he felt there was no need for Li Hanzhou to do so, and he did not believe Li Hanzhou genuinely regarded Qiao Yun as a friend.
After watching the car leave, Qiao Yun and Lu Jingzhi entered the house one after the other.
Lu Jingzhi watched Qiao Yun’s quiet figure, a complex feeling surged in his heart.
The misunderstandings between them were too deep, and he believed they had to be clarified.
“Sister, sorry, I was wrong before, I should not have been so forceful in my requirements of you.”
Qiao Yun was slightly surprised, Lu Jingzhi was actually apologizing to her?
Is he alright?
Lu Jingzhi continued to explain, “I previously didn’t allow you to interact with Li, Pei families because I was afraid you’d be deceived and hurt. I hope you can understand, as an older brother, it is my duty to look after you.”
Qiao Yun frowned slightly, her tone quite cold, “This is my business, and they won’t deceive me.”
Lu Jingzhi’s gaze darkened, but ultimately he did not continue this topic.
“Grandma said, you sent Shiran a doll you made yourself?”
“Mm.”
“Could you make one for your older brother as well?”
Lu Jingzhi was trying to mend their relationship through this request.
