Tang Ran had rarely had friends of the same age since she was young, let alone “meeting” the parents of people her own age.
After saying hello, the little girl was at a loss what to do under the meaningful and questioning gazes of Luo Qingtang and Bi Qingyan.
In the end, Luo Zhan couldn’t bear it. Before Tang Ran could be questioned, he stopped Bi Qingyan from saying anything: “You just got home, shouldn’t you go chat with grandpa first?”
Bi Qingyan: “I’ve been there.”
Luo Qingtang: “Your grandfather is busy.”
Luo Zhan: “…”
In any case, the couple was obviously determined to stay here and watch them.
Luo Zhan’s eyes moved slightly. Then he turned his head and stared at Tang Ran, who was feeling uneasy beside him, for a while before standing up: “Didn’t you come to see me? Now that you are sure that I am fine, can’t you rest assured?”
Tang Ran hesitated and asked worriedly, “Is it really not serious?”
“Well, it’s not serious. I’m standing right in front of you.” Luo Zhan took Tang Ran’s hand and placed it on his wrist. “—I’ll take you downstairs.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Zhan noticed that Tang Ran’s fingers, which were held in his right hand, struggled slightly.
Luo Zhan lowered his eyes to look. The little girl’s face had flushed and she raised her head nervously to signal him.
Luo Zhan remembered something and looked across.
Luo Qingtang and Bi Qingyan sat opposite each other, looking at Luo Zhan and Tang Ran’s hands, which were very intimately and naturally held together, with subtle expressions.
Luo Zhan: “…”
The year he spent with Tang Ran when she was blind had already formed a habit in him like muscle memory. Even when the little girl’s eyesight began to recover, he would habitually take the initiative to act as her human crutch when walking with her.
Although he felt uncomfortable being stared at by his parents with penetrating eyes, who was Young Master Luo?
This awkward feeling lasted for less than a second, then Luo Zhan held the little girl’s hand tightly without any regrets.
He was calm and composed, tilting his head towards Luo Qingtang and his wife, as he said, “I’ll take her down, you guys do as you please.” He turned around, holding Tang Ran’s hand, “Let’s go.”
Tang Ran looked back uneasily: “Uncle and aunt, goodbye.”
“Well, see you next time.”
They then saw two figures, one tall and one short, leave.
Bi Qingyan’s expression fell and she turned her head back: “Husband, our precious son couldn’t have been possessed by some dirty thing, right? He is so, so, so abnormal towards this little girl!”
Luo Qingtang retracted his gaze and nodded seriously: “It’s possible.”
“No, I must ask him about it when he comes back!”
“I can’t tell you.”
“?”
“Didn’t you see it?” Luo Qingtang smiled slightly. “When the girl was in front of him, he was wary of us like thieves. Without the girl, he would not reveal any information to you.”
“What should we do then?”
“Ask my father. He should know the situation best, including the truth about the family rules for refusing marriage this time.”
“…”
“Why aren’t you talking?” After waiting for a long time without getting any response, Luo Qingtang turned around unexpectedly.
Bi Qingyan smiled awkwardly but politely: “A few minutes ago, I just scolded him.”
Luo Qingtang: “.”
Luo Qingtang sighed silently: “I should have known.”
Bi Qingyan smiled awkwardly for a few seconds, then suddenly thought of something and restrained her expression to be serious: “Qingtang, do you think this girl looks very familiar?”
“Um.”
“You think so too?” Bi Qingyan was puzzled. “Then it seems that it is not my illusion. I always feel that I have seen her at some point, but I can’t remember where and when I saw her.”
Luo Qingtang turned his head: “You didn’t see her.”
Bi Qingyan: “?”
Luo Qingtang: “Her last name is Tang.”
Bi Qingyan: “So?”
“There was a Chinese woman who was very good at playing bridge in the bridge club you attended abroad last year. You mentioned her to me many times, and I even saw her when I went to the club to pick you up.”
Bi Qingyan was shocked: “Ah! I remember now, you are talking about Julian! Yes, yes, she seemed to have mentioned that her last name when she was in China was also Tang… Could she be related to this girl?”
Luo Qingtang stood up and took the woman beside him by the arm: “Whether it’s related or not, just ask my father and you’ll know.”
Bi Qingyan froze.
Luo Qingtang showed a helpless expression, “Don’t worry, I’m here. He won’t bother with you.”
“If he wants to scold me, remember to block him for me.”
“Yeah, okay.”
“…”
At the same time.
Luo’s main building, in front of the stairs at the main entrance.
“I’m sorry, young master, you can’t step out of the main building within these three months.” The security guard’s arm blocked Luo Zhan’s way, stern and impartial.
Tang Ran was right beside him, and Luo Zhan was extremely patient: “I’m just sending her outside the building, I won’t leave your sight.”
“I’m sorry, but we can’t let you go unless the order is changed.”
Luo Zhan ran out of patience and narrowed his eyes slightly: “What if I must go out?”
“…”
Upon hearing this, the security guards outside the main building looked solemn. They simultaneously turned slightly and stood guard in the direction of Luo Zhan.
The man standing in front of Luo Zhan then said, “This is the arrangement of the old gentleman. Please don’t embarrass us, young master.”
Luo Zhan wanted to say something, but his attention was distracted by the pulling force coming from the corner of his sleeves.
He looked down at Tang Ran and asked: “What’s wrong?”
Tang Ran asked softly, “Have you been grounded by Grandpa Luo?”
“Yes.” Luo Zhan expressed to Tang Ran, “As an explanation to the Tang family, I was punished by family rules, banned from receiving guests for a month, and confined to my home for three months.”
“Can I come see you later?”
“It’s better not to. It would be bad for you if someone found out at this moment.”
“Is that so?” Tang Ran’s expression darkened.
Luo Zhan laughed: “Didn’t you ask me to reflect on lying to you so many times before? Why do you forgive me so easily now?”
“I didn’t blame you in the first place,” the girl frowned and whispered uneasily, “I was just afraid that you would keep lying to me in the future, so I pretended to be angry, thinking that after 10 days I would say that I was no longer angry. But in less than a week, you were…”
Seeing that the topic was going to make her eyes red again, Luo Zhan quickly stopped talking: “The confinement is only three months, it will be over soon. After it’s over, I will definitely stay with our little girl every day, okay?”
Tang Ran nodded, then stretched out her little finger and said with a serious face, “It’s a deal. Luo Luo can’t lie to me again this time.”
Luo Zhan smiled and hooked it, then sighed: “Your trust in me has turned to zero, right?”
“Yeah.” Tang Ran nodded seriously, “So Luo Luo wants to make it up.”
“How do I make up for it?”
Tang Ran was stunned.
After thinking for a few seconds, she tapped her hands suddenly: “From now on, every time Luo Luo does something he promised me, you will get one point. If he lies to me once or fails to do it once, you will lose one point.”
“When you get full marks, will you restore full trust?”
“Um!”
“What’s the full score?”
Tang Ran thought about it, then hesitantly raised an index finger.
Luo Zhan raised his eyebrows: “One thousand?”
Tang Ran seemed surprised and immediately shook her head: “10 points.”
Luo Zhan was stunned.
When he came to his senses, he lowered his head and couldn’t help laughing again and reached out to rub the girl’s long hair.
“Ran Ran…be careful or I’ll take advantage of you and eat you up completely, leaving nothing behind.”
