397 Her Lucky Star (1/2)

Yao Ling walked into the room hesitantly --- they deliberately didn't call Yao Ying and Lin Jian over as well, because they wanted to talk to Yao Ling alone. After all, what they wanted to talk about was a private matter inside their family. It would be better if they solved everything first before telling others about the result.

Besides, Yao Ling didn't want Yao Ying to feel awkward as well.

When she arrived in front of the room, she squeezed her sleeves tighter because of her nervousness. Wu Cheng told her politely, ”Just go in! Master and Young Master have been waiting for you in there.” Yao Ling gave him a forced smile and nodded her head.

”Thank you,” she muttered softly.

Wu Cheng smiled back, trying to give her assurance. He already saw his young master's stance, thus, he understood that she would be the future young miss as well.

Yao Ling took a deep breath and then decided to step into the room slowly. ”Father...” She called Rong Qiu softly, trying to feel in the atmosphere inside the room. Was it a good one... or a bad one? She wondered whether their talk was actually successful or not.

When Wu Cheng called her, he didn't explain anything to her about the result of the task and the former kept his blank expression all the time when they were on their way. She didn't know Wu Cheng beforehand and didn't think that it was a good idea to ask him some questions about that matter, so she kept quiet all the time.

”Yao Ling! Quickly come in here and meet your brother!” Rong Qiu said cheerfully while waving one of his hands at Yao Ling.

Yao Ling looked at Rong Qiu's happy appearance and it seemed like the talk went well and she sighed in relief. She quickly came over with a soft smile nervously while standing beside Rong Qiu obediently. Honestly, she didn't know how to face his brother.

She had been so happy to have a new brother but she knew that the latter might not have the same idea as her.

”Quick... Quick! Call him Da Ge [= Big Brother]!” He excitedly said while pointing at Rong Heng. Rong Qiu tried to make the introduction as smooth as possible. Fortunately, he made the right decision to tell Rong Heng about Yao Ling's life story because he could see that it made Rong Hend soften considerably.

”Is... Is it really okay?” Yao Ling looked at Rong Heng with big watery eyes which made the latter's heart weaken.

”Of course,” he answered while nodding his head carefully.

Yao Ling looked up shyly at Rong Heng and called him in a soft and cute voice, ”Da Ge!” She felt elated when Rong Heng gave his permission to call him Da Ge.

Rong Heng was still feeling reluctant at first but when he heard Yao Ling's sweet voice, he felt his heart faltered. He actually always wanted to have siblings but there was no chance for that -- after all, his father had no partner. It seemed like his wishes had come true in a pretty weird twist of fate.

He understood Rong Qiu's line of thoughts. If he wanted Rong Qiu to continue to become his father, he needed to admit this new little sister, after all, he couldn't abandon his blood-related daughter.

Rong Heng nodded his head and greeted Yao Ling back, ”Mei Mei [= Sister]...” It was bittersweet for him to call her that.
