Tang Ran sat on the steps in a daze.
The most sensitive skin at her fingertips transmitted the unfamiliar warm and hot touch back to her. Not sure if it was because of this touch that Tang Ran felt an inexplicable shudder in her heart.
She subconsciously pulled her hand back.
Luo Zhan’s palm felt empty.
Fortunately, he regained his senses quickly and managed to suppress the instinct to reach out and grab the girl’s hand that had escaped.
Luo Zhan lowered his eyes helplessly.
He knew that he had been too impulsive just now, both for revealing his identity without waiting for the servant behind him to leave and for doing such a thing.
But he couldn’t help it, no matter how many times it happened – after hearing those words and seeing with his own eyes the girl sitting alone on the steps in the night, looking forward to her “robot” helplessly while seeming lost, Luo Zhan knew that he couldn’t wait even a second longer.
Because he didn’t want her to endure that kind of sadness for even a second longer.
As for the current situation…
Luo Zhan felt guilty for a rare moment, and looked up at the little girl who was still standing in a daze on the steps: As a “bionic robot”, he could only wait and see how Tang Ran would react before responding.
Tang Ran was stunned for several seconds before she came back to her senses. The little girl didn’t react, but she said “Ah” a little late: “Is this a new feature?”
Luo Zhan was silent for two seconds, and then he spoke helplessly in a low, mechanical voice: “Yes.”
“It’s a bit itchy and weird.” Tang Ran bent her eyes and chuckled, “It feels like I got an electric shock. Luo Luo, are you leaking out electricity?”
After a long silence, a mechanical voice replied: “Safety inspection is up to date, master, you can rest assured.”
“I’m just kidding.” Tang Ran said with a smile.
After sitting for a while, Tang Ran stood up from the steps with the help of her cane: “But what happened tonight? It seems that the store manager and his friend came late, and they didn’t even have time to say hello. They just dropped you off and left?”
“…”
There was no response in the silence, but Tang Ran was not surprised: when faced with some questions that it was not sure whether they could be answered, this robot would remain silent honestly.
Unlike the AI voice assistant…
Thinking of this, Tang Ran couldn’t help but laugh: “You are really unlike the other Luo Luo. If he heard a question he didn’t understand, he wouldn’t remain silent, but would give a messy answer.”
Luo Zhan: “.”
What a great comparison.
Tang Ran didn’t know what she was thinking about, but her expression brightened a little: “How about I introduce you to Luo Luo tonight?”
Luo Zhan had a bad feeling and wanted to refuse, but the manual of the bionic robot clearly only stated “obey” and not show any “objection” to the master.
Luo Zhan sighed silently: “Okay, Master.”
Tang Ran’s eyes curved with laughter: “Then let’s go back?”
“…”
“Luo Luo?”
“Due to the safety concerns raised by the master, I need to go back to the mechanical box and run a self-check procedure, which is expected to take three minutes. Please return to the room first.”
Tang Ran was confused, but still nodded: “Okay, I’ll go back and wait for you.”
After watching the girl’s back as she walked back to the side house with her cane, Luo Zhan turned around and walked into the night in the distance.
Duan Qingyan stood there stiffly, not moving a muscle.
She was a little self-doubting now, not knowing whether to believe her eyes or ears, or maybe even her memory was having problems.
Otherwise, how could the most favored and most unruly young master of the Luo family, who was brought here by her and was said to be more powerful than the Tang family, become the “bionic robot” that Tang Ran said belonged to her alone?
And he was even emitting a mechanical sound…
Duan Qingyan was still confused, but Luo Zhan had already walked in front of her and stopped: “You should…”
A mechanical sound rang out in the night, then the sound paused. Luo Zhan frowned slightly. He raised his hand and lightly pressed the button on the black ring around his neck.
The white light next to the button flickered slightly, turned red, and then dimmed.
Luo Zhan raised his eyes again and his expression had already returned to normal: “You should have seen and heard what just happened?”
“…”
Witnessing with her own eyes the “bionic robot” turning back into the living, lazy and indifferent young master of the Luo family, Duan Qingyan was speechless for a long time before she spoke with difficulty, stuttering: “I I I won’t tell anyone that you you you are Tang Ran’s——”
“This is the contact information of the INT team.”
Luo Zhan didn’t have time to waste with her. He interrupted Duan Qingyan’s words and handed over a white business card with dark patterns.
When he raised his eyes again, Luo Zhan said calmly: “You are the only one in the Tang family who knows about this. In this case, you can estimate for yourself what price I am willing to pay to keep you silent.”
Duan Qingyan was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously waved her hand: “I don’t need it…”
Luo Zhan frowned slightly and looked at her with his dark eyes: “If it is not necessary, I will not be involved with anyone in a personal relationship. Moreover, refusing to clearly mark the price is, in my opinion, preparing for more far-reaching benefits and possibilities in the future.”
Duan Qingyan blushed: “I don’t, I don’t have it.” After hesitating, she took the business card from Luo Zhan somewhat embarrassedly.
“You can think about it for a while.”
Luo Zhan’s eyelids drooped lazily. He put his hands back into his trouser pockets and turned back.
After taking just two steps, Luo Zhan stopped, as if he remembered something, and looked back.
The man stood in the night, his handsome face with a slightly raised mouth and a lazy look in his eyes. But his voice was even colder than the night: “A reminder. You set the price, but if the news leaks from you, the price you will have to pay may be much higher than the price you are getting now.”
After saying that, Luo Zhan walked into the side house without looking back.
It was not until the door of the side house closed that Duan Qingyan came back to her senses.
She looked down and saw the business card in her hand and recalled the scene at the stone steps of the side house just now, which was so vivid that it seemed to have been imprinted on her mind.
Duan Qingyan shook her head.
If it weren’t for this business card, she would have felt that she had just had an extremely real yet extremely absurd dream tonight.
So maybe Luo Zhan was just worrying too much.
Because even if she really told others about it without caring about anything, no one would believe her unless they saw it with their own eyes.
That unruly, lazy and cold young master of the Luo family didn’t even want to marry Tang Luoqian, the eldest daughter of the Tang family, but he pretended to be gentle and submissive and pretended to be a robot in front of the least favored young lady of the Tang family?
The other servants in the Tang family would just laugh at her and say she was dreaming.
