Chapter 54 - Trouble Maker in the House (1/2)

Lin Luoran senses a subtle change between her and Liu Zheng since they return from the gem was.h.i.+ngs. The privity between them seems to be killed by her words.

Both of them lose the interest of going sightseeing. Liu Zheng has to deal with business in the company so they take the flight on the next day and go back to R City.

The airport in R City is one-hour-drive away from downtown. Carrying her suitcase, Lin Luoran feels embarra.s.sed to ride in Liu Zheng’s car, and she hates to be hypocritical and takes the taxi. Luckily, w.a.n.g Miao’e is available that day and she offers to pick Lin Luoran up at the airport. Lin Luoran is relieved. She says goodbye to Liu Zheng at the airport.

As the purchasing consultant, Lin Luoran has a flexible job. She has brought honor and made a considerable profit for Liu’s. Therefore, she can rest until there is another large purchase.

Before Lin Luoran sets off to Ruili, Baojia goes to the capital. She doesn’t give any clear explanation of the trip, not even to Liu Zheng. Baojia hasn’t returned by now. Every time Lin Luoran calls her, Baojia seems to be in a hurry. Something may be wrong in the capital, which makes Lin Luoran worry.

“How is it going?” w.a.n.g Miao’e blinks to Lin Luoran while driving.

Lin Luoran is confused about what w.a.n.g Miao’e is asking about. w.a.n.g clears her throat, “You and Liu Zheng…”

“Sister w.a.n.g, what are you thinking? Manager Liu has a fiancé! Stop joking!” Lin Luoran is speechless. Her mom has asked her the same question on their house-warming party. Why is everybody trying to make a match between her and Liu Zheng?

w.a.n.g Miao’e stops talking but can’t help whispering, “You can undermine the wall if you have the right strategy.”

Lin Luoran finally turns her head and looks the other way to the green belt and ignores w.a.n.g Miao’e.

w.a.n.g Miao’e has to switch the topic, “Luoran, I remember that you say you have prepared a gift for me. It’s been quite long. Where is it?”

Lin Luoran has been busy these days and completely forgotten it. The question of w.a.n.g Miao’e makes Lin Luoran guilty. She finally puts the awkward behind her and guarantees to w.a.n.g Miao’e that she will soon deliver the gift.

Then Lin Luoran fakes to be angry, “What kind of people will ask for gifts?”

w.a.n.g Miao’e turns the steering wheel and laughs, “Am I an ordinary person?!” Her words make Lin Luoran laugh and reduce her worries on Baojia’s trip to the capital as well as her hazy feelings for Liu Zheng.

Although Lin Luoran has only left for less a week, she misses her family much. Lin Luoran wonders if Luodong is getting along well with their parents, and has their parents learnt how to return tranquility?

They arrive at the house. w.a.n.g Miao’e is going to park the car in the garage and they notice a flaring black sports car is parked there.

This is odd. Her family doesn’t have any wealthy relatives, and they have just moved here. Who is in her house?

“Dad, mom, Luodong, anybody home?”

Lin Luoran calls. Luodong runs out from the back yard with mud on his face. He is happy seeing that Lin Luoran is back home.

Lin Luoran pa.s.ses the gift she buys in Ruili to him and touches his head, “Is dad and mom out?”

Luodong nods, “vegetable shopping.”

Vegetable shopping? Lin Luoran is surprised. Recently, her family only eats the vegetable in the mysterious s.p.a.ce and they seldom eat meat. As for her close friends, Baojia is in the capital, Sister w.a.n.g is right beside her, and even Fatty Cui no longer buys vegetable from the market. Thinking of the black sports car in the garage, Lin Luoran becomes anxious.

Who on earth is here?

“Creak…” The red gate is opened. Mr. and Mrs. Lin enter together with nothing in their hands.
