Chapter 303 - HOW DID THINGS END UP THIS WAY? (2/2)
”Nice to meet you, Jiao Jiao,” Luo Ren said, he didn't even notice that he had already shown him one of his rare smiles.
Yu Jiao felt like her ears were tickled when Luo Ren called her nickname. She was even momentarily dazzled by his smile. She quickly let go of the other's hand. She wanted to say that he shouldn't call her that way. But no words came out from her mouth.
”By the way, Brother, are you really going to look for the identity of those two and ask their principal to suspend them?” Luo Yan asked.
”Yes. It's not good to go back on one's word,” Luo Ren said. ”Or maybe I should let their principal expel them.”
”Brother, there's no need for that. Suspension is more than enough to teach them a lesson.”
Yes, they were problematic kids. But there's no need to destroy their future just because they stopped him on his tracks. Luo Yan was not some narrow-minded guy who would exact vengeance in the cruelest way possible just because someone stepped on his toes. If that someone hurt him or the people he cared about, then that's when he'd be really cruel.
”Oh, I almost forgot. I'm going to buy Ah Jin donuts,” he said.
He was about to continue walking towards the donut shop but Luo Ren stopped him. ”No need. Since Dad is not at home, let's just have dinner out. I'll call Uncle Chu and tell him to take Xiao Jin straight to the restaurant.”
”That's a good idea,” Luo Yan agreed since they rarely ate out. He turned to Yu Jiao. ”Jiao Jiao, how about going with us?” Then he looked at his older brother. ”It's okay, right, Brother?”
”Sure,” Luo Ren easily agreed before looking at the tall teenager. ”Have dinner with us.”
”I- I have curfew,” was Yu Jiao's automatic response.
”Jiao Jiao stays at the school dormitory,” Luo Yan explained to Luo Ren. Then as if a light bulb turned on inside his head, he added, ”I know! How about staying at our house tonight? You can go back to the dorm tomorrow. It's the weekend anyway. You can just call the dorm manager and tell them that you'll go home today. We have a lot of spare rooms. You can have one all to yourself. If you're worried about clothes, Brother can just buy one for you later. What do you think? It's perfect, right?”
Yu Jiao wanted to say, 'no, it's definitely not'. Did Luo Yan actually forget that she was a girl? That it's not appropriate for her to sleepover in a house with three people of the opposite s.e.x? Well, technically, it probably wouldn't be just the four of them there because of the maids and other people working there. The house would probably be so big it wouldn't matter anyway. And she's quite certain that the Luo brothers wouldn't do anything untoward. But still.
”That's it then,” Luo Ren said, agreeing with Luo Yan's proposal. ”Where's Uncle Tan? I'll tell him to go back ahead of us.”
”He's on the parking lot on the opposite side,” Luo Yan answered.
”Then, you and Jiao Jiao wait inside my car. It's the one right there,” Luo Ren said pointing at the car parked on the side of the road.
”Okay, Brother!”
And Luo Yan happily pulled Yu Jiao towards the car. His peach blossom eyes were filled with excitement, most probably thinking about Yu Jiao sleeping over.
Yu Jiao, on the other hand, up until they went inside the car, still had no idea how things ended up this way.
