Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 567 - 488: Why the Rush? (Five Updates)

"Who else is in your family?" The little boss hurriedly asked.

Yi Luowa smiled happily, "I have a loving husband and two adorable babies."

"You’re married?! How old are you to already be married."

"Er... Why can’t I get married?"

Kou’er snorted, "Kid, you’ve fallen for our... big boss, haven’t you? Let me tell you, even though our big boss is a beauty loved by all, she’s not someone a little brat like you can fancy!"

"Which of your eyes sees me fancying the big boss!" The little boss gave Kou’er a disdainful look. "Please don’t use your dirty thoughts to tarnish my pure soul! I’m just curious, the big boss looks only about eighteen or nineteen, how could she be married and have kids!"

Kou’er rolled her eyes, "The big boss is 21, why can’t she be married and have babies!"

"Little Kou’er, you’re definitely teasing me! Haha... I figured out your little scheme; you’re afraid I’ll chase after your big boss, huh?"

"Tch~ I can’t be bothered to talk to you!" Kou’er turned her head away in disdain.

The little boss looked at Yi Luowa, somewhat awkwardly, "Why is her temper so bad?"

"She’s hungry. Hunger makes anyone cranky." Yi Luowa laughed, "Now it’s my turn to ask, who’s in your family?"

The little boss shook his head with a smile, "My family’s not as big as yours, just my dad, my mom... and a sister."

Seeing the waiter start serving dishes, Yi Luowa laughed, "Are you from the Xiawu tribe? This question is my debt. After you answer, we can eat."

"No."

Yi Luowa pursed her lips with a smile; it seemed nothing would be revealed today. "I’ll give my family a call so they don’t worry."

Speaking, Yi Luowa took her phone and stepped outside.

The little boss looked at Kou’er, who kept giving him her back, "Do you have photos of the big boss’s kids?"

Kou’er sneered, "I do! But I’m not showing them to you!"

The little boss wasn’t angry, his eyes twinkling with amusement as he said, "Then that means you don’t have any!"

"Stop using reverse psychology on me! I’ve seen too much to be caught in your little tricks!"

The little boss laughed gleefully, "Being with you guys is really nice; no worries at all."

"What worries could a little brat like you have!" Kou’er thought about his illness and quickly apologized, "Sorry, I forgot about your sickness. But with Dr. Jimo around, you don’t have to worry too much."

"Mm, I’m not worried. By the way, does your family need anyone?"

Kou’er looked at him suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

The little boss said seriously, "I want to stay here in Xiawu to heal, but I can’t just freeload. I want to work to support myself. If your family needs staff, I can work for you."

"Can you stop teasing us poor folk! You’ve got dozens of cards in your wallet, and you want to work at our place?" Kou’er looked at him helplessly, "If you listen to me, don’t make trouble. Get better as soon as possible and go home. Our big boss is really busy; don’t distract her too much."

"What does she do?" Seeing Kou’er ignoring him, the little boss said with a pleading look, "I just want to repay you guys, nothing else."

"Don’t repay us. As long as you don’t trouble the big boss, I’ll thank Buddha!" Seeing that Yi Luowa hadn’t returned, Kou’er got up quickly.

Yi Luowa walked in as Kou’er headed out, the two nearly bumping into each other.

"Why the rush?"

"I made a mistake today, not staying by your side all the time..."

Yi Luowa glanced at her coyly, "The people outside are ours. Whether it’s you or them accompanying me, does it make any difference?"

Kou’er stuck her tongue out playfully.

Yi Luowa chuckled, "Hurry and eat. After we finish, let’s head back early. My mom worries the two kids might cry if they wake up and don’t see me."

"Mm," Kou’er replied promptly.

During lunch, the little boss was unusually quiet.

After the meal, the little boss insisted on paying the bill. Yi Luowa thought for a moment and let him.

Yi Luowa arranged for someone to take the little boss to the hospital, then whispered a few words in Kou’er’s ear.

Kou’er smiled and nodded, "You go wait in the car first. I’ll go take a look."

Yi Luowa sat in the car for a while when Kou’er returned, puffing angrily, "That kid is so sly; he used a fake name for the card."

"Fake name?"

Kou’er nodded, "I gave the card number to Yuan Hang, and he quickly found out. He said the bank card owner was a Northern Di person, but that person passed away two years ago."

Yi Luowa shook her head helplessly, "Forget it, let’s go home."

The car slowly drove out of the hotel. Kou’er sulked, "This guy definitely comes from no ordinary background. Look at how he eats—you’d think he was performing art with chopsticks. He’s probably really scared his family will find him, so he’s cautious everywhere he goes. Yi Luowa, do you think he was poisoned by his own family?"

Yi Luowa froze, "Why do you think that?"

"Noble families are full of ugly stuff—fighting over inheritance, vying for power and status. How many families are as harmonious as ours? In our family, not only are the fourth and fifth uncles free of schemes, even the cousins and extended relatives don’t have disputes."

"That’s thanks to the elder generation’s good upbringing." Yi Luowa rested her head, falling into thought. Kou’er’s words seemed to make sense. Logically, a five-year-old boy wouldn’t even have the chance to come into contact with such poison. If someone near him really wanted to harm him, it would probably be better for him to live peacefully over here.

"Let’s stop asking about his origins from now on."

"Mm. We wouldn’t find anything out anyway."

When Yi Luowa got home, the two little ones were already awake. They were lying in their strollers, "chatting" with everyone.

"Such pampered kids!" Yi Luowa washed her hands and crouched by the strollers, teasing them.

The two little ones saw their mom and laughed aloud, "Hee hee."

"Mom, you and Auntie go get some rest; I’ll watch them."

"Can you manage them on your own?" Tong Yao asked, a bit worried.

Yi Luowa smiled and nodded, "Of course! And there’s the nanny and wet nurse, aren’t there?"

"Sister-in-law, look at what you’re saying! Yi Luowa is their biological mother—she’s more attentive than anyone!" Yan Zi pulled Tong Yao along, "Since it’s still early, let’s hurry and leave. Just think of how much we can buy."

"Going out?" Yi Luowa looked at her mother-in-law apologetically, "If I knew you and Auntie were going out, I wouldn’t have left."

"It’s almost New Year. We want to buy some things for the celebration, but it’s not urgent."

"Look at your mom! Mention going shopping, and she hesitates as if spending money is life-threatening."

Yi Luowa pursed her lips and smiled, "Mom, to avoid Auntie thinking poorly of us, please go. My treat!"

"Why use your money when I have my own! If I used your money to shop, your aunt would mock me even more. She and your dad’ve been poking fun at me over this for half a lifetime, and I’m thoroughly fed up with those two siblings."

Tong Yao glanced at Yan Zi, "Why are you still standing here? Go change and let’s go! Today, whatever you want, I’ll cover it!"

Yan Zi winked at Yi Luowa, "My reverse psychology worked, huh? Haha... Oh, by the way, your grandparents are at Kaikai’s place. If you can’t handle these two little ones, just call them back."

"Mm. Rest assured, take your time; I can handle the kids."

Tong Yao and Yan Zi headed out around 1 PM. Quite the shoppers, they hadn’t returned even close to dinner time.

Tong Aino and Connie came home after work and saw only Yi Luowa with the kids. They asked suspiciously, "Where’s everyone else?"

"Little Uncle and Grandpa got caught up in their chess game and said they’d skip dinner. Mom and Auntie went shopping. Dad said there were foreign guests today, and he’ll be back later."

Tong Aino grinned as he scooped up Sang Yu, "Great that no one’s home; now I get to spend some time holding the baby."

Connie quickly supported Sang Yu’s waist, "You’re holding her wrong."

"How am I wrong? This is fine, isn’t it? If I were holding her wrong, Sang Yu would’ve cried a long time ago."

"If I weren’t supporting her, you’d see her cry right away!"

Yi Luowa laughed, "Connie, just let him hold her however; consider it practice."

"Exactly! Once I practice with Sang Yu, I’ll know how to hold our own future baby."

"A ruthless mom and a ruthless uncle!" Connie couldn’t bear to let go and continued supporting Sang Yu’s waist.

"Be careful and go slow," came Tong Yao’s voice from the doorway.
