Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 445 - 387: Big Brother Si, Something Terrible Has Happened! (Second Update)

Chapter 445: Chapter 387: Big Brother Si, Something Terrible Has Happened! (Second Update)

Yi Luowa’s recovery was getting better and better—sometimes she could even go for walks in the yard on her own.

Before Kou’er returned, You had been keeping her company. Later, even after Kou’er came back, You still refused to leave.

Tong Airui didn’t immediately try to chase her off either, mainly because he was worried she might slip up and say something when she got home. He didn’t plan to tell the family until his wife had fully recovered, so as not to make everyone worry.

That day, Yi Luowa was leisurely chatting with You and Kou’er in the living room when Dapeng burst in.

"Fourth sister-in-law, we just got an invite for a car race—should we join?" Dapeng said, handing the invitation letter to Yi Luowa.

Yi Luowa glanced at it and smiled as she said, "Let’s join. This is an international competition, and our team, which was only recently formed, receiving an invitation like this—it’s a great recognition and compliment for us."

"But your health..." Dapeng glanced awkwardly at her belly.

"I may not be able to participate, but I can provide guidance from the sidelines," Yi Luowa said after thinking for a moment. "Also, I’ll invite someone to act as an on-site coach and team leader. This person used to work with me—his skills are even better than mine."

"Fourth sister-in-law, who is it?"

"Ao Lie!" Yi Luowa took out her phone and called Ao Lie.

When Ao Lie learned he was being asked to serve as the team leader and on-site coach, he was absolutely thrilled. "Luowa, have you already discussed this with Second Uncle and Duke Airui?"

Yi Luowa chuckled and said, "You’re the one directly involved—if you agree, only then can I talk to them."

"Of course I agree! It’s been so long since we fought side by side. To be honest, my hands have been itching for action!" Ao Lie paused briefly, then asked, "Your team has always been doing well—why did you suddenly think of bringing me in?"

Yi Luowa gently touched her lower abdomen and smiled, "I’m worried that in the future, I might not be able to handle it all on my own."

"Alright, just talk it over with Second Uncle and Duke Airui, then let me know—I’m ready to join anytime."

"Okay." Yi Luowa smiled and ended the call. Just as she was about to dial Second Uncle, she heard Tong Airui’s voice outside.

"Deputy Captain Ruan, how could you wait until now to tell me about such a big issue!?"

"..."

"Hey... If you had spoken up earlier, I could’ve sent someone to help you find Ruan Jiajia right away. Don’t worry, I’ll send people over to help search now."

"..."

"Alright, if you’re short on manpower, be sure to let me know."

Tong Airui hung up and walked inside.

"Was that Ruan Dawang?" Yi Luowa asked with a smile.

"Yes, that old fox held back this information for days—he was testing me," Tong Airui replied.

Yi Luowa frowned slightly. "Is he suspicious of you?"

Tong Airui laughed lightly, "Even if he is, it’s pointless—I don’t have any motive to commit a crime."

Yi Luowa pursed her lips and chuckled. "You always have an answer for everything! By the way, given my current condition, it’s not suitable for me to lead the team in the race. I’m thinking of inviting Ao Lie to help out—what do you think?"

"It’s your team—you can decide what to do. But if you’re using Second Uncle’s people, you’ll need to discuss it with him first."

"Alright, I’ll call Second Uncle then..."

"Fourth... fourth brother, bad news!" Mi Chenxuan suddenly ran in, pointing frantically toward the door. "My uncle and aunt are here!"

Yi Luowa froze.

Tong Airui rolled his eyes at him irritably. "They won’t eat you—why are you so scared?"

"They came driving an RV, and they brought Doctor Jin with them..."

"Tong Airui! If we hadn’t come, were you planning to keep us in the dark forever, you little rascal?" Long Che strode in with a serious look on his face.

Yi Luowa stood up. "Dad..."

As soon as that word left her mouth, Long Che’s previously stern face immediately lit up with joy. "Luowa, you’re the pride of our family—sit down!"

Yi Luowa’s face flushed bright red, all the way to the tips of her ears.

Tong Airui’s mouth twitched involuntarily.

Tong Yao walked in smiling. "I chased after your father but couldn’t catch up."

"Mom, you’re here." Yi Luowa moved forward with a warm smile to greet her.

Tong Yao quickly strode over to her and held her up by the arm. "You little rascal, do you want to scare me to death by walking so fast?"

"Mom, I’m fine now—really, I’m okay." Seeing her parents’ obvious concern, Yi Luowa realized there was no way this matter could be kept secret anymore.

Tong Yao helped her sit down and scolded lightly, "You two kids really are something. Such a big matter, and you didn’t even inform the family!"

"Mom, Airui and I were worried that the family might get anxious and stressed, so we planned to come back this weekend to tell you and Dad. Mom, I’m so sorry for making you and Dad come all the way here," Yi Luowa apologized with a smile.

"Mom, who was the blabbermouth who told you about this?"

Tong Airui stepped forward and was about to sit down when Long Che kicked him mid-step. "Stand over there!"

Tong Airui frowned and reluctantly stood off to the side.

Yi Luowa cast a glance of sympathy toward Tong Airui.

Long Che glared at his son with smoldering anger. "You reckless fool—thank goodness nothing happened to my granddaughter. If something had, I’d have you repay her life with your own!"

Mi Chenxuan stifled his laughter and gestured to the group, prompting them to quietly slip out of the room.

Once they were gone, with no outsiders left, Long Che let out an angry snort. "Imagine that—a husband who didn’t even know his own wife was pregnant. Are you even fit to be a husband?"

Tong Airui lowered his head, a guilty look on his face.

"Long Che!" Tong Yao shot him a glare.

Long Che furrowed his brow and said, "You’re always defending him! If we don’t teach him a lesson, he’ll keep forgetting next time!"

Tong Yao sighed, "Wisdom comes through experience—everyone messes up on their first try."

"I didn’t..."

"Don’t even go there!" Tong Yao rolled her eyes at him. "We came to check on our daughter-in-law, not to berate our son. Airui didn’t dare tell us because he knew he was wrong—what’s the point of harping on him like this? You’re just adding to his stress."

Faced with his wife’s scolding, Long Che not only lost his temper but also quickly softened his expression and turned to Yi Luowa with a smile. "Luowa, your Uncle Jin is waiting outside. Are you feeling unwell anywhere? Should I have him come in and take a look at you?"

Yi Luowa replied with a smile, "Dad, I feel fine—there’s no need to trouble Uncle Jin. But if it’s okay, maybe invite Uncle Jin inside to sit for a while."

"If you’re fine, then he can stay in the RV—I’ve still got things to talk over with Airui." Long Che darted a knowing glance at his son.

Tong Airui quickly exited the room, returned shortly after, and obediently stood before his father.

Long Che glared at him again. "Tong Airui, you sure kept this matter tightly under wraps. If your mom hadn’t overheard Shanshan talking to Kaikai on the phone, we’d still be in the dark! What exactly is going on? From what I heard, Luowa went to see the doctor, and reportedly the test results said she wasn’t pregnant. Yet on our way here, your Uncle Muta called to tell me that Ruan Dawang’s daughter went missing right after crossing the border... Is there any connection here?"

Tong Airui furrowed his brows slightly. "Dad, just pretend there’s no connection."

Long Che angrily raised his hand to slap the tea table but hesitated—it could scare Yi Luowa—before reluctantly letting his hand drop. "If it turns out that old bastard and his daughter are behind this, I’ll make sure they never leave the border alive!"

"Dad, we can’t show our hand yet—I have my own plan to deal with them."

Long Che snorted coldly. "I used to hold you back for the sake of harmony—but not anymore. Disrespecting my family is one thing, but scheming against my granddaughter? You deal with them however you need to—make sure it’s ruthless! And if you’re not ruthless enough, I’ll step in myself!"

"Dad, let’s avoid talking about bloody matters while the kids are around—let’s focus on happier topics instead. By the way, why are you so sure Luowa’s baby will be a girl?"

Tong Yao chuckled with amusement. "Your dad’s obsessed with having a granddaughter—he’s gone completely nuts! On our way here, he kept bragging about how his predictions are golden, saying it’ll definitely be a girl. He even came up with a bunch of names—my head was spinning just listening to him."

Yi Luowa laughed and turned to Long Che. "Dad, what names did you pick for the baby?"

Long Che grinned. "Once we’re back, I’ll write them all down for you—pick whichever one you like, and my granddaughter will use it."

"Alright!" Yi Luowa giggled. "Dad’s names are bound to be beautiful."

"Mom, are you and Dad planning to take Luowa back home to stay?" Tong Airui picked up on a hint in his father’s words.

"Airui, the first three months are a risky period. During this time, you and Luowa should come back home. With a big family, it’ll be easier to take care of her, though you’ll have to work harder with all the traveling back and forth."

"I don’t mind—it’s just that Luowa still has her team..." Tong Airui glanced at Yi Luowa.

Yi Luowa smiled. "With Dad and Mom here, we’ll go back home. I’ll call Second Uncle and ask Ao Lie to help out for a few months. Once the risky period is over, I’ll return."

Hearing his daughter-in-law agree to move back home, Long Che grinned. "That’s settled then. When you get back, stay in the large suite downstairs. I’ve already had it cleaned up before I came."

Yi Luowa chuckled. Her dad’s impatient nature was truly unmatched.
