Free Web NovelChapter 1329: Chapter 793: Moved
After Qian Xiaotian unwillingly promised not to cause trouble, the car started again, and the group returned to Island City in the evening.
Luo Fengying Nuo and Xiao Huang’s car arrived a little earlier than Luo Ye and Ye Xuan’s car; everyone was standing in the yard busy greeting each other.
"Zhenggang..." Seeing Luo Zhenggang from a distance, Aunt Luo’s eyes turned red, and she quickly walked a few steps to stand in front of her brother, softly calling his name but then choked up.
"Uncle..." Qian Xiaotian imitated her and also began sobbing quietly.
Luo Zhenggang glanced indifferently at the pair, bypassed them, and walked towards Qian Zailai: "Brother-in-law, it must have been a tough journey."
"Not tough at all, not tough..." Qian Zailai repeated with a chuckle, but seeing his wife and daughter’s aggrieved expressions, he felt a bit heartbroken, "Zhenggang, your sister has been talking about how much she misses you."
"Hmm." Luo Zhenggang responded, his voice tapering off, "Let’s all go inside."
Embarrassment fleetingly flashed across Qian Zailai’s face; apparently, his brother-in-law, the Governor, was already aware of what his niece had done. Such an attitude clearly showed he was siding with his niece, causing Qian Zailai to feel a little regret—if he had known, he wouldn’t have poked this hornet’s nest and at least could have chatted a bit with him. Well now...
Luo Lian cheerfully leaned into Luo Ye’s ear: "Luoluo, you’re so lucky, Uncle spoils you like this."
"In this regard, Uncle Qiao is no less than my dad. Lianlian, you should give him a chance. As Grandpa Qiao and Grandma Qiao’s age stands, you could be with them for another twenty years or so; don’t waste the time, or you may regret it in the future."
"Why are we back to this topic?" Luo Lian’s expression dimmed, "It’s not that I don’t want to be with them, but seeing Qiao Aimin reminds me that it was because of him my mom took me far away.
It was because of him my mom departed early, leaving me to go through so much. Initially, I had truly forgiven him.
But because of the Alice and Lisha incident, the thought of that horrifying scene prevents me from facing him calmly, so Luoluo, please stop persuading me. Until I fully come to terms, I don’t want to make everyone unhappy."
Luo Ye could only compromise: "Alright, I won’t push you, but don’t pretend to be all happy just to deceive me.
I’m already glad you’re recovering and not closing yourself off anymore, and I understand you need time to fully adjust, so don’t force yourself, okay?"
"Hmm." Luo Lian smiled sheepishly, "I just didn’t want you all to worry, so I forced myself to be happier and more cheerful, but honestly, that’s not my nature, and pretending was quite tiresome."
Luo Ye earnestly nodded: "Indeed, these past few days you’ve been like another Xing Nong."
"I’m going to tell Xing Nong you said that and see if she comes after you." With that, she pressed her lips together, gazing wistfully into the distance, "I miss them."
"They miss you too."
Luo Lian sighed: "Next time, I’ll go back with you. I left everything for Yanyan and Qiuqiu to handle and hid away. It’s really... so unfair to them."
"Take some more time to rest; there’s no rush to go back." Luo Ye pinched her arm, "Look at how thin you’ve gotten, they’ll definitely feel sorry for you."
"No, I can’t stay still any longer. Going back to rest is the same; the knot in my heart is untied, so it doesn’t matter where I am." Luo Lian insisted.
"Alright." Luo Ye agreed, tugging her towards the front door. As they reached the entrance, Ying Nuo came over holding a plate of roasted sweet potatoes, "Seeing how engrossed you two were, I didn’t want to interrupt, quickly, have a sweet potato to warm up. Grandpa and Grandpa Liu had Grandma roast them in the mushroom cellar, they’re delicious."
"Hiss..."
After running around a bit and now feeling quite hungry, upon entering the warm room, they couldn’t help but salivate at the sight of the crispy, golden-baked sweet potatoes.
"Look at how greedy you two are." Ying Nuo pointed at them, laughing so hard she almost fell over, as Luo Ye snatched the plate from her hand, "You’re supposed to be someone else’s wife soon, and you’re still so unruly, attention!"
"Cough, cough..." Startled, Ying Nuo instinctively stood up straight, only to choke on her own saliva and start coughing incessantly. Luo Feng hurried over to pat her back, glaring at his sister, "Nuonuo was kind enough to save the best roasted ones for you two, yet you’re bullying her."
"Married someone and forgot your sister, huh..." Luo Ye looked pitifully at Luo Lian, "Lianlian, how are we bullying Sister-in-law? While saying this, the corner of her eye caught Luo Ning from Uncle’s family continually glancing over, so she waved at him, "Big brother, come over and have a sweet potato."
