Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 285 - 263 Dad, I’ve caused trouble (second update)
Tong Airui smiled and gently pecked her pouty lips, "Want to shower together?"
"You go first, I’ll look at some documents for a bit, is that okay?" Yi Luowa looked up, smiling at him, "I promise to be in bed before midnight."
Tong Airui shook his head with a pout, "Don’t even think about it! I just knew you had something to ask of me today, otherwise, you wouldn’t be so sweet!"
Tong Airui said as he pulled her hand, leading her to the bathroom, Yi Luowa kicked his long leg, "Why so eager?! I haven’t grabbed my pajamas yet!"
Tong Airui glanced back at her, "Showing your true colors, huh! This is more like you."
"Get the clothes!" Yi Luowa was pulled to the door, clinging to the door frame, refusing to go in.
"How long does it take you to wear clothes?" Tong Airui asked with a smile.
"Tong Airui, you’re such a pervert, you never give me a moment’s peace." Yi Luowa pouted, stubbornly following him in, "Starting tomorrow, I’ll have my period four times a month, each lasting seven days." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
"Then tonight, I’ll make up for the entire next month." Tong Airui said, reaching out to help her undress...
On Wednesday, You Jia left, and Teng Ai Ni saw her off at the airport, coming back in tears.
Fortunately, Yi Luowa had no classes in the afternoon and kept her company, calming Ai Ni down.
On Friday, at the time agreed upon to make a call, Yi Luowa sat in Long Che’s downstairs office, dialing Carlos’ number in front of Long Che.
Yi Luowa first greeted politely, seeing Long Che’s face turned a bit grim, she quickly put away her smile, opened the speaker, and said, "Uncle Carlos, as a junior, I know I shouldn’t say this, but I’m someone who speaks frankly, especially seeing my dad fall sick due to your words, I feel even more compelled to talk to you..."
Yi Luowa babbled on, not giving Carlos a chance to interject, Long Che sat in his chair with a growing smile, this girl’s words are sharp enough to anger someone without using any foul language.
Yi Luowa talked for a while, then went silent, quietly listening, before shouting, "Uncle Carlos, what’s wrong?! Are you feeling unwell?"
Soon, You Jia’s voice came from the phone, "Sister-in-law, Dad suddenly fainted, let’s hang up for now."
Yi Luowa’s face fell instantly, tearfully looking at Long Che saying, "Dad, I’ve caused trouble!"
"He won’t die." Long Che stood up with a smile, "Dad has a Luminous Pearl, you can take it to play with later."
Yi Luowa sniffled, "Dad, I don’t want it. Standing up for you is my duty, but Ai Ni is about to get engaged, and Uncle Carlos got sick because of me. Can he still attend Ai Ni and You Jia’s engagement ceremony tomorrow?"
"He wouldn’t dare not attend!" Long Che pushed open the door, glanced back at her, "Come upstairs with me to get the Luminous Pearl, after dinner, we’ll head to S. Country. I want to see with my own eyes how bad you’ve upset that old man, hopefully to the point he’s tongue-tied and drooling."
Yi Luowa followed Long Che upstairs gloomily, took the Luminous Pearl, and ran to Teng Ai Ni’s room.
Seeing Teng Ai Ni was on the phone, she quickly covered her mouth and sat aside.
Teng Ai Ni finished her conversation and asked softly, "Dad didn’t notice anything, right?"
"No, is Uncle Carlos okay?" Yi Luowa asked worriedly.
"No worries, but You Jia just said after hearing what you said, his dad regrets at how they’re over a hundred years combined yet don’t have the sensibility of someone under twenty. He said from now on, no matter how our dad scolds him, he won’t talk back."
Yi Luowa patted her chest, "That’s good to know. I was afraid my words might really have made him unwell, causing trouble wouldn’t be right. Ai Ni, have you packed your things? Dad said we’re leaving after dinner."
Teng Ai Ni pouted, "I packed ages ago. I planned to leave with You Jia, but Dad wouldn’t let me. What’s up with that! And flying at night? By the time we arrive, it’ll be almost midnight, and if we don’t get proper rest tonight, how can everyone look good tomorrow?"
Yi Luowa laughed, "You’re the star tomorrow; as long as you look good, it doesn’t matter. Dad arranged this to not delay his work here. Look at your brother, he’s not even back yet."
"Ugh... You keep siding with him. He just doesn’t want to see You Jia’s dad. The later we go, the better."
"Just don’t say that to Dad; otherwise, he’ll get mad. For You Jia’s sake, go easy. Sleeping on the plane is the same, don’t complain." Yi Luowa said as she started for the door.
Teng Ai Ni noticed the bulge in her pocket and asked, "What goodies do you have? Give me some."
"It’s not food, it’s a little trinket Dad gave me. If you like it, it’s yours." Yi Luowa took out the Luminous Pearl and handed it to Teng Ai Ni.
Upon seeing the Luminous Pearl, Teng Ai Ni pursed her lips, "You call this a trinket? It’s a family heirloom. When I was a child, I liked its glow at night and asked Dad for it. He said, someday I will marry and he wouldn’t give my in-laws such a prize, so he didn’t give it to me."
"If Dad won’t give it to you, I will." Yi Luowa said generously, placing the Luminous Pearl into her hand.
Teng Ai Ni hurriedly returned it, "I don’t want it, lest Dad scolds me. Actually, Dad’s not wrong, my future children won’t bear the Audrych name. Passing this down incorrectly wouldn’t be right."
Yi Luowa pursed her lips, "Alright then, I’ll just keep it as a treasure."
Teng Ai Ni nodded with a smile, "Sister-in-law, have you called our Fifth Brother? How’s his recovery?"
"I didn’t call him, I called Connie. She said your Fifth Brother is recovering well, because of some matter with Uncle, they are flying out tonight too."
"Glad everyone can make it." Teng Ai Ni hesitated a bit before saying, "Sister-in-law, Shiqing will be there tomorrow... if you don’t like her, try to steer clear."
"Don’t worry, I won’t argue with her." Yi Luowa laughed, hugging Teng Ai Ni, "Don’t overthink, check if you forgot anything."
Teng Ai Ni nodded.
Yi Luowa cheerfully left the room. As she opened the door, she saw Tong Airui walking up. Yi Luowa smiled, "You’re home earlier than usual today."
"Calls kept coming in, urging me back. I couldn’t dare not return early." Tong Airui glanced at the Luminous Pearl in her hands and asked, smiling, "Looks like your task went well today, even snatched a treasure."
"What do you mean, snatched? Dad gave it to me fair and square." Yi Luowa gave him a sidelong glance, "Which outfit do you want to wear to S. Country?"
"I’ll wear whatever you packed for me, I have no preferences."
"Alright, I’ll decide then." Yi Luowa pulled him back to the bedroom.
"Yes, you decide." Tong Airui unbuttoned his shirt, glancing at Yi Luowa, "I need to talk to you about something."
Seeing his serious expression, Yi Luowa was startled, "What happened?"
"It’s not really a big deal, Shiqing got shot while out, she’s in emergency surgery now." Tong Airui hugged her with a bit of schadenfreude, "At least no one will cause trouble at Ai Ni’s engagement banquet."
