Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 279 - 261: Peach Blossom Luck (Second Update)

Yi Luowa and Tong Airui stayed overnight at the manor, and early the next morning, they drove towards the capital. Little Raindrop, Teng Ai Ni, and the others stayed behind.

On the way back, Yi Luowa mimicked what Huo Li had said and asked Tong Airui to help analyze Huo Li’s true thoughts.

Tong Airui said in a deep voice, "After facing setbacks, before encountering true love again, this is basically the usual reaction."

Yi Luowa pouted and asked, "Should we find her a psychologist?"

"With her personality, she probably doesn’t need one. Just have Second Uncle chat with her more often. Once her health recovers, let her go back to school or work. As long as she can reintegrate into society, she’ll gradually open up her heart."

Yi Luowa blinked and asked softly, "Do you have any unmarried uncles who are pretty manly?"

Tong Airui immediately became alert, "Yi Luowa, you’re a married woman now!"

Yi Luowa pinched the back of his hand, "It’s not because I like uncles—it’s because Huo Li prefers mature men."

Tong Airui exhaled deeply in relief, "You should’ve made that clear earlier! You scared me to the point of breaking into a cold sweat."

Yi Luowa raised her eyebrows, lifted his shirt, and started randomly groping inside, "Not a single drop of sweat!"

Tong Airui grabbed her mischievous little hand and said in a husky voice, "If you keep this up, I’ll take care of you right here in the car!"

Yi Luowa quickly covered his mouth, "Stop spouting nonsense! Focus on the issue I just mentioned!"

Tong Airui pulled her hand down and shook his head disapprovingly, "Finding someone for her now will backfire."

"Then when should we do it?"

"Wait until she has reintegrated into society. Don’t worry, it won’t take too long."

Yi Luowa nodded gloomily; it seemed like she didn’t have much choice but to wait.

Yi Luowa stayed in a bad mood all day, and even after returning home from school, she didn’t feel much better.

She was upset partly because of Huo Li’s situation, and partly because everywhere she went today, there were hundreds of eyes staring at her, as if she were some kind of two-headed monster.

During lunch, she had gone to the cafeteria to eat, and almost everyone there was gossiping about her and Tong Airui’s engagement and marriage registration. Some even spitefully said: "They won’t last long; let’s just wait for the next live-streamed divorce battle!"

Tong Yao, her mother-in-law, and two other older women were in the living room looking at photos. When they saw her come back, they gestured to the dozen or so photos on the coffee table and said, "Luowa, perfect timing, come take a look."

"Who are these people?" Yi Luowa sat down, glanced at the photos, and asked with some confusion.

"They’re all interested in your Second Uncle. Yesterday, after you left, I barely did anything at home—people lined up to come here proposing matches for him. It was quite the spectacle." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Yi Luowa chuckled and picked up a photo, this time studying it more seriously, "If my Second Uncle knew so many people had their eyes on him, he’d be so scared he wouldn’t dare step out of the house."

"Weiyang is still young and should find a partner," Lady Jing Ya said with a grin, "Your mom narrowed it down a bit. The ones who weren’t suitable were rejected outright. These few here are the ones she selected. Their basic information is written on the back of the photos; help your uncle take a look."

"We had to reject some—it’s hard for me to understand the thoughts of young people nowadays. Yesterday, someone as young as eighteen showed up. Weiyang is twenty-five years older than her! How would that even work? Who knows if she’s after his money or genuinely likes him as a person."

Yi Luowa hugged Tong Yao’s shoulders and laughed, "Mom, let’s introduce that eighteen-year-old girl to Second Uncle. I really want to see how he’d react."

"You little rascal! How can you tease your uncle like that!" Tong Yao laughed and playfully slapped her hand, "Take a serious look at these—when they came, I explained your Second Uncle’s real situation to them, and they all said they didn’t mind. These ones are unmarried, and their conditions aren’t bad."

Yi Luowa picked up a photograph to examine it. "Mom, this one looks around the same age as Second Uncle, but for a woman to still be unmarried at thirty-something, almost forty, wouldn’t that mean she might have some personality quirks?"

Tong Yao sneaked a glance at Tao Yanran, noticing that she was also watching her, and gave an awkward smile. "Aunt Tao, Luowa didn’t mean anything by it; don’t take it to heart."

Yi Luowa widened her eyes and glanced at her mother-in-law before turning to her great-aunt with annoyance, "Great-Aunt..."

Tao Yanran smiled lightly, "It’s alright, don’t listen to your mother-in-law’s nonsense. I didn’t take it to heart! Luowa, I got married to your Great-Uncle when I was already in my thirties, nearly forty. So, what do you think of my personality?"

Yi Luowa pinched her earlobes and looked at Tao Yanran pitifully, "I’m sorry, Great-Aunt! I was just asking casually. Please don’t take it to heart, or I won’t be able to sleep tonight!"
