At the same time, in the Luo family’s main building, the dining room.
Today at noon, only Mr. Luo and Luo Zhan were having lunch in the dining room.
At the main seat, Mr. Luo cut the steak slowly and asked, “When are you going to arrange the surgery for her?”
“Now that we have Tang Shixin’s signature and consent, the surgery will be arranged as soon as possible.” Luo Zhan said, “I will go to City M tomorrow to talk to the dean–“
A bell suddenly rang.
Luo Zhan stopped talking abruptly. Without hesitation, he put down his knife and fork and reached for his cell phone.
Luo Jingyuan raised his head in dissatisfaction: “You have no table manners when dining with your elders. Don’t you know to turn your phone to silent mode?”
“It has been adjusted.” Luo Zhan said without raising his head.
Mr. Luo snorted angrily: “Then is this sound my hallucination?”
Luo Zhan raised his lips and said, “This is a ringtone I set for Ran Ran alone.”
Mr. Luo: “…”
The call was connected.
The young man sitting in the high-back chair leaned back, and an involuntary smile appeared on his face, which had been lazy and emotionless since he entered the dining room. “Why did you suddenly remember to call me, little girl?”
There was silence on the other side.
Luo Zhan waited for a few seconds and unexpectedly took the phone away from his ear. After confirming the signal and call status, he straightened up slightly and lowered his voice: “Ran Ran, are you there?”
There was still no sound from the other side.
Luo Zhan’s expression suddenly changed.
That kind of decadence disappeared completely in an instant. He pushed away the high-backed chair and stood up. The veins on the back of his hands popped out as he grabbed his coat, and his eyes were extremely gloomy.
He then strode out without looking back.
Mr. Luo, who was sitting in the main seat, was stunned for a moment: “Luo Zhan, what are you doing!”
Luo Zhan did not stop, but walked faster, his voice low and hoarse: “Ran Ran might be in trouble, I——”
“Luo Zhan.”
It was still the same name, but this time it sounded at a very close distance to his ear.
It was Tang Ran’s voice, which was familiar yet carried a certain strange emotion.
“——!”
Luo Zhan stopped suddenly.
After a few seconds, he finally came back to his senses and turned his head. As if he was choking on the breath and couldn’t breathe smoothly, Luo Zhan held the back of the chair beside him, lowered his body and coughed several times.
When his breathing finally became smooth, Luo Zhan stood at the end of the long table and laughed helplessly: “Do you want to scare me to death, Ran Ran?”
The other party was silent for a few seconds: “Are you angry?”
“No.” Luo Zhan, who had regained his senses, could tell that something was wrong with Tang Ran’s voice, but he still answered her question first, “I won’t be angry with you.”
Tang Ran fell silent again. After a few seconds, she spoke in a hoarse voice: “I don’t want to have the surgery anymore.”
“!”
The smile on Luo Zhan’s face faded in an instant. He frowned instinctively and clenched his hands on the back of the chair.
After a few seconds of stalemate, Luo Zhan forced himself to suppress his breathing and emotions. He then said seriously: “Don’t say such things suddenly, Ran Ran. Tell me, what happened?”
Tang Ran asked again: “Are you angry now?”
Luo Zhan was stunned and asked helplessly: “You just want to piss me off——”
“Tang Luoqian just came to see me.”
“…”
Luo Zhan suddenly stopped.
“I’m very angry now.” The girl’s voice was quieter and calmer than ever before, and it was as cold as ice and snow.
She stood by the door, her hanging fingers slowly clenched with her fingertips icy cold.
Angry.
Tang Ran pursed her lips and repeated softly and slowly: “I am very angry now, Luo Zhan.”
Luo Zhan lowered his eyes.
He and Tang Ran already had a tacit understanding, and he could understand what she wanted to say just by listening to her unclear words and the emotions behind it.
Luo Zhan sighed slowly: “These people from the Tang family are really impatient. It’s only been a short while since we finished talking. I was going to talk to you this afternoon.”
Tang Ran’s breathing finally became more and more intense. She bit her lips lightly, and the pent-up annoyance and anger made the girl’s voice tremble slightly:
“My eyes are my eyes. Why do you use yourself as a condition…”
Luo Zhan whispered to comfort her: “Even if my grandfather agrees to the marriage proposal, it will have no effect if I refuse.”
“It’s not that simple.” Tang Ran clenched her fingers even tighter. “If it were that simple, Tang Shixin wouldn’t agree to sign for the surgery!”
“…”
It was the first time Luo Zhan had heard Tang Ran speak so emotionally. He was stunned for two seconds, then smiled dumbly and lowered his eyes: “Why is our little girl always so smart? I should only worry that you would misunderstand or be sad.”
“Luo Zhan.” Tang Ran said in a tense voice, “Don’t joke with me. I am seriously angry.”
Luo Zhan smiled helplessly: “Believe me, I can really handle the following things, and it won’t hurt me in any way. So don’t be angry, okay?”
“…”
“Are you still angry?”
“…”
“How can we calm our little girl down?”
“…”
Luo Zhan waited for a few seconds, then stood up with the help of his chair. He looked towards the main seat at the other end of the long table in the dining room.
After thinking for a few seconds, Luo Zhan seriously suggested to the person on the phone: “I’m in the family dining room now, otherwise let my grandfather help you supervise–“
Old Man Luo raised his eyes expressionlessly, waiting to see what more “shameful” words his “shameful” little grandson could say.
Under the gaze of Mr. Luo and other servants, Luo Zhan lowered his eyes, smiled lazily, and continued calmly:
“Punish me to kneel outside for the whole afternoon. Is that enough for our little girl to vent her anger?”
