Chapter 56: Chapter 28.2

Just great. This lady might also be someone who’d drag Uncle Luo out to see a movie when Luo Shuyan is sick.

Luo Tianyuan exchanged contact numbers with Qin Yutong before Qin Yutong excused herself.

When Luo Tianyuan sat down in the restaurant, Luo Shuyan excitedly asked, “Papa, who was that pretty lady? Did you also meet up with her in Jing City? What is she doing in Ning City, did she purposely come here for you?”

Luo Tianyuan didn’t know what to do. He poured two cups of water for the children while answering his daughter’s question. “She’s here for work related matters.”

It honestly didn’t matter to Luo Tianyuan; he didn’t care why Qin Yutong was in Ning City.

Luo Shuyan shook her head and imitted a phrase from a Korean drama, “How can that be? There’s no way it’s such a coincidence. We just met her last month in Jing City, and now she’s here for work in Ning City. If she didn’t come here just for you… I’ll, I’ll,” she pointed at Shen Yan and said, “I’ll change my surname to his.”

Shen Yan was speechless. Luo Tianyuan flicked his daughter’s forehead and laughed. “You’re changing your surname? Be careful of your words.”

“Ouch.” Luo Shuyan was in pain as she held onto her forehead. “I don’t care, I’m sure she’s come here for you Papa!”

Shen Yan looked like he was looking at an idiot, and questioning his life decisions that led to him knowing her. He wasn’t convinced that Luo Shuyan couldn’t tell that the lady didn’t like her at all, so he was furious that she still looked so happy. Luo Shuyan would really suffer if Uncle Luo really got together with that lady.

Is Luo Shuyan that dense?

Luo Tianyuan signaled for them to stop with his hands. “Alright, that’s enough for now. Let’s order our dinner, your Papa is getting hungry.”

He was happy that he could talk to his daughter like he was talking to a friend, but that didn’t mean that he wouldn’t feel awkward when it came to subjects about romantic relationships.

–

Luo Shuyan and Shen Yan walked out from the restaurant with bulging tummies.

This was the first time both of them tried western food. They had steak, pasta, and fries as mains, and cakes and yogurt on the side. They were very satisfied, but also very bloated.

When they reached home, Luo Shuyan naturally went to finish her homework with Shen Yan.

Shen Yan had completed his homework a long time ago, and was now reviewing class materials for the next two days. He looked up at Luo Shuyan who was doing math and sighed. He stood up and searched through the bookshelf for a children’s book.

Shen Qingruo was the one who bought this for him. He had flipped through the book once because he’s never been interested in children’s books.

He had a very good memory, and he could recall the stories included in the book. He wiped off the dust from the book cover and passed the book to Luo Shuyan.

Luo Shuyan was startled by this action. When she looked at it, she noticed that it was a children’s story book. She looked up at him, confused.

Shen Yan maintained a calm expression as he said, “Read the third story.”

Luo Shuyan didn’t know what Shen Yan was trying to do, but she adhered to his instructions and flipped to the third story — Show White.

……

…………

Even if Luo Shuyan was a little slow, she could understand what Shen Yan was trying to say.

“What do you want to remind me about?”

He didn’t flip open the book again. Instead, she twirled her pencil in her hand, seemingly nonchalant about the whole situation.

“…That Qin lady, that lady doesn’t like you,” Shen Yan said.

“I know,” Luo Shuyan said.

Shen Yan was surprised and angry. “So why are you still acting this way? If she becomes Uncle Lou’s girlfriend, she’ll be like the Queen in Snow White. She’ll make your life a living hell, and won’t give you food to eat.”

Sigh. Even though he’s a genius, he’s still a young child at heart…

Luo Shuyan corrected him in a serious tone. “The Queen didn’t allow Snow White to starve.”

Shen Yan was furious. “Is that the main point?”

“Alright now.” Luo Shuyan knew that Shen Yan was coming from a place of care for her. She consoled him, “Don’t be angry. You’re entitled to your own opinion, and so am I. My father’s romantic endeavors have nothing to do with me. He can date whoever he likes, and I’m not ‘money’ either, no one is obliged to like me. Who knows, there might be people who don’t like money too! It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t like me, it’s not like she’s dating me. Plus, I trust my father, he’ll find someone who he likes to be his girlfriend, but he’ll never choose someone who dislikes me to be his wife.”

Luo Shuyan knew that her father was the person who loved her the most on this earth. If her father were to get married in the future, he would definitely put his daughters feelings first.

If she were to worry about whether her stepmother would be mean to her, it would be a sign that she didn’t trust her father.

Her father would never allow others to be mean towards her. She knew this better than anyone else.

“Just like how you believe your mother would never allow others to hurt you, even if the person were someone she likes.” Luo Shuyan stared into his eyes while she said, “I trust them.”

Shen Yan spaced out for a moment before tilting his head unnaturally. “Anyway, just be careful.”

“Mn!”

Luo Shuyan casually flipped through the story book and asked, “I have a question regarding this story. What’s wrong with this prince? How could he love a dead human and bring her home?”

Shen Yan wasn’t paying attention as he replied, “Perhaps it’s because she’s pretty.”

“Isn’t that even more peculiar? Even if she’s pretty, she was a dead person! It’s not like they were in a relationship before that. Would a normal person bring a dead body home with them? He doesn’t even know who she is? He doesn’t know at all.”

Shen Yan was triggered when he heard the word “dead body”. He shivered as he said, “Why do you have so many questions? I’m not the prince, how would I know?”

“It’s fine if you don’t have an answer. All I know is that there’s something wrong with the prince.”

Shen Yan didn’t know if there was something wrong with the prince, all he knew was that he had a terrifying dream that night. He’d dreamt of a dead body and was frightened due to the fear. He woke up from his sleep covered in cold sweat. His heartbeat increased at the thought of his dream, he was scared.

He curled his fingers into a fist and punched the wall.

If it weren’t for Luo Shuyan, he wouldn’t have had the nightmare.

Luo Shuyan’s bedroom was on the other side of the wall.

The two children were separated by the wall.

And on the other side of the wall, Luo Shuyan was in deep and sweet slumber.
