C81 (1/2)
Luo Qingyu walked very slowly. Just by walking from the outside of the courtyard to inside the villa, she felt as if he had walked for a century.
Hearing the engine of the sports car behind her, she stopped and didn't hurry to ring the doorbell. Instead, she paced back and forth outside the door. She sat by the fountain in the yard with a calm expression, as if everything that had just happened had vanished.
He raised his head to look at the sky again. It was different from when he was with Lu Junhao, there were many stars in the sky, and now that the moon had started to come out, the stars felt that it was too dim compared to the sun, and started to hide.
Luo Qingyu was captivated by the enchanting scenery and he could not help but be a little flustered.
She wished that she hadn't experienced those things before. If she hadn't, her heart might not have hurt, and she might not be able to let her thoughts run wild.
She was lost in thought as she looked at the sky. When she came back to her senses, she saw her father's car driving in leisurely.
He stood up and walked in the direction of his father's car.
”Dad, why did you come back so late as well?”
She didn't know that the moment she had questioned her father, the scene in which she had been lost in her thoughts had long since been clearly witnessed by her father.
”After settling the matter of the last contract you mentioned at the company, we won't be able to find the lost funds.”
Her father said casually, not wanting to hide anything from her.
Luo Qingyu nodded his head.
”What's the situation then?”
”Not yet!”
After hearing the answer, Luo Qingyu wanted to help his father back to his room.
”Dad, it's getting late, let me help you back to your room!”
As he spoke, his hand was already on his father's arm.
He did not reject his daughter, but asked caringly, ”Is there something on your mind?”
”No, Dad, what can I do for you!”
Luo Qingyu tried to avoid his father's question.
”Xiao Luo, the thing that you're the least adept at is concealing yourself. Daddy has always watched you grow up, and he knows this very well.”
It was said that a daughter couldn't be a parent. This saying wasn't a lie, and it was indeed true.
His father's words were especially true. Since he was young, he had never told a lie, because it could always be easily exposed.
He still stubbornly said, ”Dad, I really didn't!”
”I didn't see you staring at the sky in a daze just now. Daddy saw it all. It's fine even if you don't say it, but Daddy just wants you to know, don't take on anything by yourself. You and me!”
His father's words caused Luo Qingyu's eyes to fill with hot tears. He felt that the depression in his heart had suddenly found an outlet to vent, and he was unable to hold back her tears any longer.
Luo Qingyu leaned his head against her father's shoulder. Her father also lifted his hand and gently caressed her hair.
”Alright, silly girl, let's go home!”
When her father's genial voice rang out, she was unable to restrain her tears.
The Luofu saw and said, ”Since when did you become so fond of crying?”
Giving her handkerchief to Luo Qingyu, she was also amused by her father's actions.
When they arrived at the villa, Cheng Xiaowei and her daughter were still awake.
Seeing him enter with his father, his stepmother was extremely solicitous. She went up to her father, grabbed him, and gave him a look.
”Lao Luo, quickly sit down and rest!”
As he spoke, he ordered the servants to serve the snacks that he had prepared.
Luo Qingyu was stupefied by this scene, and sat on the opposite side of the sofa. Perhaps it was because of the crying earlier, but the red swelling around his eyes had yet to disappear.
Cheng Xiaowei noticed this, ”Sis, what's wrong? Did someone bully you? ”
The sudden words made Luo Qingyu break out in sweat.
However, she knew that Cheng Xiaowei just wanted to see her make a fool of herself, so how could she let her easily succeed?
The more Cheng Xiaowei showed an expression of concern, the more it was the complete opposite.
”Why would anyone bully me? I just hope that someone isn't tripping behind my back! ”
If she wasn't guarding Luofu, Cheng Xiaowei might have stood up and questioned her with a stern voice. But now, she had to play the role of a good little sister.
For a moment, the atmosphere froze, because what he had said was heard by his stepmother and father.
On the other hand, didn't look the least bit embarrassed, but his expression was even more intimate than before.
”Sis, look at what you're saying. This kind of thing doesn't even exist.”
Luo Qingyu's face turned cold, ”It's good that it doesn't exist.”
These words were obviously meant for Cheng Xiaowei and her daughter, but they did not expect the current Luo Qingyu to become so wild and rampant, could it be that she knew something?
Cheng Xiaowei's heart was beating rapidly. It was only a guess, but when she looked at Luo Qingyu, she was still smiling.
She didn't seem to care and said to her father, ”Dad, I'm going upstairs now!”
The father nodded in agreement. There was fire in the stepmother's eyes, but it was not good to flare up. She and her daughter looked at each other, as if the fire would fit together soon enough.
