Chapter 240 Be Good, and I Would Solve Everything

After watching half of the movie, Luo Xiaoxi was sleepy and heard the door knocking. Then, she heard her mother’s voice. “Xiaoxi?”

She rose up to open the door. Her mother took the dessert, standing outside the door with a sweet smile. Luo Xiaoxi let her in. “Mom, come in.”

Mrs. Luo put the dessert on the small tea table. “I made it myself, have a try?”

Luo Xiaoxi agreed, had a bite and then nodded, saying, “Tasty!”

“Eat slowly.” Mrs. Luo took a paper towel and gave it to Luo Xiaoxi. “By the way, mum wants to say something.”

“Go ahead, please.” Luo Xiaoxi made a “please” gesture.

Mrs. Luo suddenly didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Since you’re young, you’ve been spoiled by your father. It really makes me uncomfortable for you to use honorifics.”

“…” Luo Xiaoxi guessed what her mother intended to say, and she stopped eating desserts, just looked up at her mother who was getting older.

“Xiaoxi, the person who loves you the most is your father. You must believe that no matter what he asks you to do, even if it seems to be unreasonable, your father is doing it for your sake.” Mrs. Luo was sincere and earnest. “When you sulked and did not to talk to him, he was hurt the most.”

Luo Xiaoxi put down the delicate little spoon. “Mom, I know. I’ll apologize to dad at night.”

Mrs. Luo was waiting for this sentence, and finally felt relieved. “Then you eat slowly, I will go out first.”

Luo Xiaoxi stopped her mother. “Accompany me a little more; wait for me to finish this.”

“… Are you too lazy to clean up the dishes yourself, aren’t you?” Mrs. Luo poked Luo Xiaoxi’s forehead. “Lazy!”

Luo Xiaoxi smiled and accidentally knocked down the bag beside her. The contents were completely poured out, including some photos she brought back from Su Yicheng’s place.

It was too late to get them, because her mother’s hand was faster than hers, and she’d got the photos.

After browsing through them, Mrs. Luo sighed, without waiting for Luo Xiaoxi to finish eating or helping her to clean up the table; she left Luo Xiaoxi’s room. No matter how Luo Xiaoxi called behind her, she didn’t stop.

In the photos, she could see how happy Luo Xiaoxi was.

But this time, Lao Luo really and deliberately wanted to take Su Yicheng and Luo Xiaoxi apart, and their love wouldn’t have a result.

She couldn’t bear to see it…

At dinner time, Luo Xiaoxi went downstairs herself. She took Lao Luo’s bowl to serve the soup for him. “Dad, have some soup.”

Lao Luo looked at Luo Xiaoxi expressionlessly, and Mrs. Luo came to rescue her. Lao Luo finally took the bowl of soup and picked up some food into Luo Xiaoxi’s plate. With Mrs. Luo easing the atmosphere, the intensity was initially eased.

After dinner, Luo Xiaoxi offered to play chess with his father. She did not mention anything about Qin Wei or Su Yicheng. Lao Luo also did not mention them after his wife reminded him.

The atmosphere between the father and the daughter was getting better and better, and there were signs that said their relations.h.i.+p would become normal. Luo Xiaoxi was secretly happy as if she could almost see the sign of success.

After finis.h.i.+ng the game, Luo Xiaoxi stretched out. “I’ll go to sleep. Dad, Mom, you’d better rest early.”

Then Luo Xiaoxi flew upstairs. Mrs. Luo finally smiled. “Look at how well she behaved this evening. Don’t quarrel with her, and talk to her calmly.”

Lao Luo smiled and shook his head. “You still don’t understand her.”

“…” Mrs. Luo did not understand what this meant.

Upstairs, Luo Xiaoxi was packing things. Lao Luo and her mother fell asleep at 11 o’clock on time. She would slip out at 12 o’clock and didn’t believe they would find it.

While waiting, Luo Xiaoxi was hotched like a thief, and when her mother came to knock the door, she faked a sleepy voice and said that she was going to sleep.

It was hard for her to wait until twelve o’clock. She decisively picked up the bag and went downstairs, straight to the door.

Entering the pa.s.sword, verifying the fingerprint… It was not finished. Suddenly, a beam of light illuminated on her face, and the glare was so strong that she couldn’t look straight. She could only cover her eyes with her hands and snapped, “Who the h.e.l.l…!”

“Young Miss.” The bodyguard’s sound was cold and mechanical. “Mr. Luo did not order that you can go out, so you can’t go out.”

“I…” Luo Xiaoxi bit her teeth and finally squeezed a word out of her teeth. “s.h.i.+t!”

At this time, footsteps sounded behind her. Luo Xiaoxi had a bad hunch, and sure enough, Lao Luo’s angry sound followed. “Luo Xiaoxi, you are great. Served soup for me and played chess with me, you pretended very well.”

Luo Xiaoxi went mad. “Lao Luo! What on earth do you want?”

“You’re never allowed to see Su Yicheng!” Father Luo roared. “If you still behave like this again, I’ll cancel Top Model too. I will abstain for you and you’ll go home!”

Luo Xiaoxi kicked the door again, but the door did not move. She looked at her father with hatred and red eyes.

“You are quite unreasonable! You are quite unreasonable!”

With these eight words, she hurried back to the house. She went upstairs and slammed the door close. When she intended to take the phone to call Su Yicheng, she thought it was so late, would he have fallen asleep?

Just thinking, Su Yicheng’s text message came in, and they were three simple words: Are you asleep?

Luo Xiaoxi suddenly became spirited and replied Su Yicheng: I’m not. In less than three seconds, Su Yicheng’s phone call came and he asked her why she stayed up so late.

“You haven’t slept either…” Luo Xiaoxi lay on the bed and said sulkily, “Work overtime again?”

Su Yicheng did not answer and thought for a few seconds. He suddenly asked, “What happened to you?” Luo Xiaoxi’s voice seemed abnormal.

Luo Xiaoxi grasped the quilt with a complex mood: to tell Su Yicheng, or to handle herself?

“Xiaoxi?” Su Yicheng urged her.

Luo Xiaoxi gritted her teeth and told him about being arrested at home. “My dad threatened me. If I tried to run away like this evening again, he won’t even let me partic.i.p.ate in the game.”

At the other end of the phone, Su Yicheng deeply furrowed his eyebrows. During this period of time, he and Luo Xiaoxi had acted so obviously that Father Luo should have noticed it earlier.

At this time, he suddenly objected. It was really abnormal.

“You just stay at home for a few days. Don’t run around, and listen to your dad.” Su Yicheng said, “I’ll handle all the other things.”

“You…” Luo Xiaoxi didn’t expect Su Yicheng would arrange everything like this. She thought that Su Yicheng would forcefully ask her to see him, and then she asked, “Don’t you want to see me?”

Su Yicheng softly smiled. “I want you now, but you can’t make your dad angry. He may have misunderstood something, and I will solve it. You first apologize to him tomorrow, to convince him to let you continue the game. Be good.”

“Okay…” Luo Xiaoxi reluctantly promised him.

Su Yicheng again reminded Luo Xiaoxi of a few other things and then hung up the phone.

Luo Xiaoxi could not see his tightly knitted brows.

He and Luo Xiaoxi had been together for so long, and her father said nothing. Now, suddenly, her father demanded Luo Xiaoxi marry Qin Wei, he…

Su Yicheng suddenly had a very bad premonition.

Did Father Luo know something?

He dialed Xiao Chen’s number and asked him to check who Father Luo had seen recently. The result soon came out. Last night, Zhang Mei contacted Father Luo.

Everything was connected. What he hid, Father Luo already all knew, when thought in another way, if he were Luo Xiaoxi’s father, he would also stop Luo Xiaoxi to continue to be with him.

The second day.

Luo Xiaoxi got up early in the morning, and the destination was the kitchen.

“Young Miss?” The chef saw Luo Xiaoxi in the kitchen for the first time and smiled. “Hungry? Wait for a second, the breakfast will be cooked soon.”

“I’ll make breakfast today.” Luo Xiaoxi took the pot from the chef’s hand. “You look at from the side in case I make mistakes.”

The chef once suspected that pigs would fly today and astonishedly nodded.

Luo Xiaoxi chose the easiest cheese bacon sandwich. She fried egg and octopus ham sausage. She didn’t have much confidence in herself, so she asked the chef, “Uncle Zhou, Am I right? I follow my friend’s way!”

The chef nodded. There was nothing wrong with the method and ingredients, but the taste… he couldn’t guarantee.

Having done everything, Luo Xiaoxi was sweating. Thus she was completely was awake. She ran upstairs to take a bath and change clothes. When she went downstairs, she accidentally ran into Lao Luo and her mother. Lao Luo just snorted at her, obviously, he was still angry about the things last night, and she dared not to say anything.

When Lao Luo walked to the hall and saw the breakfast on the table, he frowned at once. “What happened! We pay the chef 7,000 yuan every month, and he should make such breakfast!?”

The chef was helpless. Luo Xiaoxi quickly walked forward. “Dad, today’s breakfast is from me…”

Father Luo’s gaze swept the unappealing sandwich, the almost charred eggs, and ham. He diverted his eyes. “Throw them, and let the chef do it again!”

“What are you doing?” Mrs. Luo pulled her husband. “I haven’t eaten this kind of breakfast ever. Sit and taste our daughter’s cooking.”

“Dad.” Luo Xiaoxi echoed her mother’s words. “I’m sorry about last night. I will listen to you in the future. Don’t be angry with me.”

“Right.” Father Luo was finally willing to look at Luo Xiaoxi. “Today, Qin Wei will come; have a good chat with him.”

“I…” Luo Xiaoxi was reluctant, but Lao Luo’s expression showed that if she didn’t agree, he would not forgive her. She could only bite her teeth. “All right! You have to promise me that you don’t be angry with me anymore!”

Father Luo did not say anything and took a bite of a fried egg. It tasted bitter, but he still swallowed it.

Mrs. Luo finally smiled, and Luo Xiaoxi finally laughed as well.

Pleasing Lao Luo was the most important, as for Qin Wei… she had a hundred ways to solve it!

“Luo Xiaoxi!” Lao Luo suddenly roared.

Luo Xiaoxi hurriedly straightened up. “Yes!”

“I know what you are thinking.” Lao Luo bit the sandwich. “I tell you, when Qin Wei is here today, you must be polite to him. If you dare to find ways to drive him away, I will never let you go out of this house.”

Luo Xiaoxi silently said “s.h.i.+t” in her heart, while using the usual coquetry trick on the outside. “Dad…”

“Useless!” Lao Luo snorted. “You drop the idea forever!”

“Then you have to promise me to allow me to partic.i.p.ate in the ‘Top Model’!” Luo Xiaoxi behaved wronged. “If you do not agree, I will b.u.mp into the wall!”

Lao Luo was reluctant but in the end, he gave up. “You can go out for the job demand.”

Luo Xiaoxi’s eyes shone and suddenly went bright. Cheers were already ringing in her heart.

Letting her go to the compet.i.tion was totally equal to letting her go out!
