Chapter 79.1 - Sinister Plan (1/2)

Once he thought of the beloved wife who’d passed away for fifteen years, Luo Cheng suddenly became even more furious. “You still dare to mention this! If it wasn’t for you, would your mother die from the difficult birth? At the time, I asked the midwife to do her utmost to save her. No matter at what cost, I would still pay it, but the outcome……”

Speaking to this point, Luo Cheng trembled from head to toe as he pointed at Luo Qing Luan and yelled, “Your mother insisted on protecting you and would rather go die! You’re the one who caused your mother to die, you jinx!” Having said this, he then raised his hand up high fiercely.

He slapped down severely. Luo Qing Luan’s snow white face immediately displayed a red imprint. It hurt so much that her gaze trembled. Not only did she not cry, her heart hardened instead as she rubbed her face and smiled coldly. “Fine, Father! You finally hit me again, heh heh……during these fifteen years, how many times have you hit me, do you still remember?”

The cold and chilly words was completely devoid of any hint of anger. Instead and strange tranquilness appeared. Luo Cheng suddenly recalled that the daughter before him already was no longer merely his daughter. She was also the future Princess of Chu, a status that was even more noble than his own.

He suddenly regretted it. Luo Cheng looked at his own hand, not believing that he had truly lost his rationality and carried out the slap.

“Qing Luan, Father……Father doesn’t really want to hit you……”

“It’s already been done. What more is there to explain?” Luo Qing Luan was so serene that it was scary. She pronounced each word slowly, “In any case, this already isn’t the first time that you hit me. So what if you hit me one more time? No matter how much effort I make. No matter what extent I change myself, I’ll still forever fail to change my position in your heart.”

“That’s not true, Qing Luan, Father, Father is only being impulsive.”

Recalling how he had lost control just now and hit the future Princess of Chu, Luo Cheng panicked and attempted to explain. “If you hadn’t mentioned your mother, Father also wouldn’t have lost my sanity and hit you. Qing Luan, this, this matter is really a pain in Father’s heart. Will you forgive your father?”

Hearing Luo Cheng’s feeble and weak explanation, Luo Qing Luan knew that he was only worried about Nalan Ye finding out and blaming him. That’s why he regretted it. As for the words Luo Cheng spoke, she and him are merely related by blood. As for the most important love between father and daughter, it had already nearly been exhausted early on.

Expression chillingly cold, Luo Qing Luan calmly watched the flustered Luo Cheng, seemingly quite heartbroken over her deceased mother. Father had already been deceived by Wang Xue Ru’s dishonest rhetoric, and completely didn’t suspect anything. At present, he even hit her because of a few instigating words from Wang Xue Ru. Without asking about anything, also without in regards to what she might be feeling. Having this kind of father was truly tantamount to having none!

“I don’t blame you for hitting me. Truly. Even if you drive me away from the family, I still won’t be sad in the least.” Luo Qing Luan spoke emotionlessly, the pain on her face apparently already faded away, but her heart was numb with cold. At this moment, those words which she had held back for a long time was unwilling to continue to be hidden. Even if it’s the last try at waking up this stubborn, yet stupid man.

“It’s just that, Father, if there is to be one day when you find out that your enemy has been sharing a bed with you for fifteen years, how will you feel?”
