Luo Xuan sent Chu Ningyi a look of pity then led them to the guest room.
As soon as Shui Anluo entered her room, she immediately lay on the bed. A space with a proper bed was indeed more comfortable.
The little darling also followed her and lay on the bed. Chu Ningyi and Luo Xuan walked out and shut the door.
“What, why can’t we go now?” Luo Xuan’s sudden appearance instead of meeting them in Provence was, in itself, a problem.
Luo Xuan placed his hands on the railing before he turned around to lean against it. “The people on my maternal grandmother’s side are still over there. They’ll leave the day before Auntie’s wedding. I’ll escort you over then,” Luo Xuan explained.
“Maternal Grandmother?”
Luo Xuan nodded. “The Long Family of Rome. You must’ve heard of them,” Luo Xuan said with a frown.
Chu Ningyi thought for a moment. “You mean?”
“There’s no advantage in letting Maternal Grandmother find out about Luoluo. Successive generations of the Long family have always been led by women. My mother is the eldest daughter of the Long Family but unfortunately, I’m a man. You must know that my mother never had a daughter but Auntie does.”
The Long Family of Rome. Chu Ningyi had heard of them before. It was a very mysterious family and had has snaked around for a few thousand years. They had come from China had gone all over Europe before permanently settling in Rome. They have never deteriorated.
She was not wealthy but mysterious.
No wonder he has always seen an elegance that not even he could compete against in Long Manyin, as well as her ability and wisdom.
It also explains why his little idiot was able to manipulate even him when her IQ comes online.
The Long Family, she was a descendent of the Long Family.
“Actually, being the leader of the Long Family isn’t bad, it’s just that…”
“She’s retarded, she isn’t suited.” Chu Ningyi immediately cut him off. He had no idea how the leader of the Long Family was like but Long Manyin had been unwilling to bring her along at the time which meant that she did not want Shui Anluo to become a leader.
Luo Xuan shrugged and turned around, placing his elbows on the railing again. “Actually, the Long Family isn’t as mysterious as the legends from the outside world says. They’re a normal family too.”
“I don’t care what kind of family they are, Luoluo’s surname is Shui, not Long. Even if I do have a daughter in the future, my daughter will also be a member of the Chu family,” Chu Ningyi firmly replied.
“Don’t you want to hear the Long Family’s story?” Luo Xuan smiled.
“Actually, I don’t,” Chu Ningyi replied indifferently.
“What a shame, I thought you’d say ‘know yourself and know your enemy and you’ll never be defeated’.”
“There’s no need. Regardless of whether it’s me or Long Manyin, we don’t want her to stay back,” Chu Ningyi calmly replied.
Luo Xuan nodded. “That explains why Auntie had tried to send her over to you by every possible means.” Luo Xuan smiled and turned toward Chu Ningyi. “You can bring her around the place or you can go to Provence on your own. Provence is quite nice during this season. I don’t mind watching your son for you.”
“Thank you, I mind,” Chu Ningyi said and turned around, returning to the room.
Luo Xuan’s expression changed a little. This man really was cold and haughty. Auntie’s eyesight was just as sharp as ever.
As Chu Ningyi entered the room, he saw the mother and son who seemed to be seized by an unknown fir of madness as they knocked their heads on the bed. The little darling may be small but his strength was nothing to sneeze at. Shui Anluo gave way to her son purposely again and stumbled back.
The little darling gurgled with laughter as he knocked his head forward.
Shui Anluo backed away and failed to notice that she had reached the edge of the bed. She screamed when her half her body was suddenly in midair.
“Be more careful.” Chu Ningyi quickly reached out and helped her before he glared at the pair.
