Luo Xiaolei didn’t let go of Yu Chen’s arm until they reached his car, which was parked near the entrance. When she finally let go of him, Luo Xiaolei looked a bit dejected.
"I’m sorry. My father only thinks about money. Also, you don’t have to listen to his requests. So don’t mind them." She said in a low voice and Yu Chen simply glanced back at the huge house before looking at Luo Xiaolei again.
"Mm. I understand." Yu Chen replied. The way he said it almost felt like he just said the words ’your wish is my command’ and it made Luo Xiaolei stare at him, a bit surprised. However, she immediately shook off the thought and even scolded herself. Luo Xiaolei, stop imagining things!!
"Okay, uhm... about me moving into your house..." Luo Xiaolei was hesitant to continue her words. She wanted to negotiate with him and tell him that she didn’t really wish to live in his house. But somehow, it was really hard to say it when this man before her had always been a man of his word from the first time they met until now.
"A-are you really okay with me living with you for five months?"
"Yes, I’m okay with it. You are the one who said that we will get to know each other by doing this. I agreed because I believe that’s the best idea."
"T-that’s right... but, I am just worried because I may just bring trouble with me and might even disrupt your peaceful life. I might also have some personal matters that will turn your home’s atmosphere into something that you might dislike."
"It’s alright. We can talk about such matters and deal with it together if that happens."
". . ."
Somehow, Luo Xiaolei couldn’t respond. She was speechless. This devil’s angelic side was showing up again and Luo Xiaolei couldn’t even do a thing but just stare at him and marvel.
"Do you want to move all your stuff into my house?"
"H-huh? No, I mean, there’s no need. I’ll only get some little stuff for now."
"Okay, shall we go?"
"Where?"
"To pack your things."
"Ehh? Now?!"
Luo Xiaolei’s eyes widen. She seemed to be shocked so Yu Chen looked at her like he didn’t understand why she was still surprised.
"Is there still something that is delaying you?"
"There’s nothing, but... I still need to go and take my little buns. So I can’t go with you right now."
"Okay then, I’ll wait for you at my house. If you need anything, let me know."
"O-okay."
Just like that, Yu Chen left, leaving Luo Xiaolei scratching her head at her failure to even start negotiating with him. She couldn’t even tell him what she really wanted to say. She felt this before but there was just something about Yu Chen that Luo Xiaolei couldn’t figure out. He wasn’t forceful at all with what he says but why was it that she always ended up agreeing with him, without even noticing? Sigh... this devil is dangerous!
Luo Xiaolei then returned to the house to finally take back the twins. Her father was waiting for her with a huge smile, looking proud as he looked at her.
"My dear daughter. I wonder what you did to that person to actually-"
"Father, I want to see the twins now." Luo Xiaolei immediately cut through Luo Junfeng’s words. She just didn’t want to hear anything that came out of his pretentious mouth.
"Don’t worry, don’t be so impatient. Those little brats are locked in your room..." While Luo Junfeng was still speaking, Luo Xiaolei already turned her back the moment she heard him say that they were in her old room. She heard Luo Junfeng scoff at what she did but she didn’t care. She knew that Luo Junfeng wouldn’t do anything to her now that she was engaged to Yu Chen. So she didn’t need to be wary towards him, at least for now.
When she finally reached that familiar door she hadn’t seen for many years, a bitter smile carved on Luo Xiaolei’s face. Some unpleasant memories returned to her but she quickly shook her head to throw those memories away because all she cared about right now was to take the twins out of here and never return to this house ever again.
Her hand then reached out for the door knob, and when she pushed it open, her eyes welled a bit before two little buns stormed towards her.
"Mommy!"
