Chu Luo said, This kind of thing happened to your shop and company because of my relations.h.i.+p with Yan. When the time comes, we will help you restore your shop and company.

Little Chu, youre regarding me as an outsider. Uncle w.a.n.g doesnt lack that bit of money. Its fine as long as were all safe and sound. We can slowly earn back the money in the future.

Uncle w.a.n.g is right. Junior, dont blame yourself. Our company only has a few computers. Besides, that night, Teacher Little Wu specially reminded us to remove all the useful things in the computers. We didnt suffer much of a loss.

When Chu Luo heard this, her heart warmed and she nodded.

Everyone chatted for a while more before deciding to go back and rest. After all, tomorrow was Monday. Those who were still schooling had to go to school, and those who had to work had to work.

Chu Luo definitely wouldnt let them suffer a loss. On the way back, she told Li Yan about this.

After hearing this, Li Yan suggested, We can reserve the w.a.n.g familys fresh flowers for our wedding. The World Gaming Alliance will hold a global game compet.i.tion soon. You can remind Tang Zhiyun and the others.

Mm? Why didnt we know about such a compet.i.tion?

If there was such a compet.i.tion, Tang Zhiyun and the others should have known early on.

Li Yan rubbed her head with a serious expression. I just decided.

Chu Luo stopped and tilted her head to look at him with bright eyes. After a while, she couldnt help but laugh.

She turned to him and extended her hand to him. Yan, Im tired. I dont want to walk. Carry me back.

Li Yan looked at her sparkling eyes and bent his knees slightly. He pointed at his face. Kiss me and Ill piggyback you.

Chu Luo subconsciously looked around. Seeing that no one was around, she quickly kissed his cheek.

Li Yan was a little dissatisfied. Youre being perfunctory.

Chu Luo grinned at him and turned around to lie on his back.

Li Yan piggybacked her and walked forward.

Chu Luo wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her cheek against his. She talked to him endlessly.

An indescribable warmth floated around the two of them.

The next day, Li Yan woke up at dawn. He didnt wake Chu Luo. He put on his clothes and went to another room to wash up before going downstairs to Chu Yichens residence.

Chu Yichen seemed to have guessed that he would come over at this time. The door was open and he was waiting for him in the courtyard.

Li Yan looked at his back with a sharp glint in his eyes. Youre not Chu Yichen.

When Chu Luo woke up, she subconsciously felt beside her. Realizing that no one was there, she opened her eyes and got out of bed.

When she walked downstairs, the butler happened to enter from outside. Seeing her go downstairs, he stopped and asked respectfully, Miss Chu, good morning. What do you want to eat for breakfast?

Chu Luo told him what she wanted to eat and asked, Have you seen Yan?

Master went for his morning practice.

Chu Luo nodded and walked towards the door.

Everyone else had woken up very early today. Chu Luo had just walked to the courtyard where Professor Wu and the others lived when she heard Daddy w.a.n.g asking if Professor Wu had packed his things.

Then, w.a.n.g Mingtao pushed open the door from another courtyard and came out. Xie Minghais voice came from behind. Taozi, did you see my USB? Why cant I find it?

w.a.n.g Mingtao turned around and replied loudly, No. I merely played a game last night.

After saying that, he turned around and saw Chu Luo. He immediately ran over. Chu Luo, good morning.

Chu Luo asked him, Have you packed your things? Lets go to school together after breakfast.

I packed it last night. w.a.n.g Mingtao grinned at her. Sister Chu, are you going to run? Ill run with you.

Chu Luo glanced at the big cotton jacket on him and turned around. Lets go. Come back for breakfast after running for a while.

Okay. w.a.n.g Mingtao turned around and shouted into the courtyard where Daddy w.a.n.g and the others lived. Dad, Sister Chu and I are going for a run.

With that, the two of them ran away.

As w.a.n.g Mingtao ran, he said, Sister Chu, guess what Auntie Tang did when she returned to her hometown yesterday?

What did she do?

After she went back, she had a huge fight with w.a.n.g Xiaoyues family and criticized everything that Xiao Yue did in the capital. She even publicized how their family repaid the w.a.n.g family for lending them money after Senior Tang came to the capital to study.

At this point, w.a.n.g Mingtao sighed. Luckily, Auntie w.a.n.g went back before Xiao Yue yesterday and blew up the matter again. Otherwise, others would think that the Tang family repaid kindness with ingrat.i.tude. Sister Chu, you have no idea. Xiao Yue actually didnt go back. She only called back and cried that Brother Tangs family didnt care if she lived or died.

At this point, Chu Luo slowed down. Xiao Yue didnt go back?

Thats right. Yesterday, Senior Brother Tangs younger brother called to say that Xiao Yues family went to their house to cause trouble. Senior Brother Tang hacked into the various traffic intranet in the capital and checked. Indeed, he didnt see any records of her buying tickets.

Chu Luo thought about where this Xiao Yue would go if she didnt go back. She seemed to only know Qing Ning and her younger brother here (on the condition that these two siblings were still willing to take her in). Chu Luo planned to get someone to investigate later, so she didnt say anything else and continued running.

After running for a while, w.a.n.g Mingtao was extremely hot. He unzipped his coat while panting heavily. Sister Chu, I cant take it anymore. You continue running. Im going back.

Chu Luo glanced at him, who was sweating profusely. She nodded and continued running.

As she ran, she suddenly saw someone standing in front of her. It was Chu Yichen. She quickly stopped and looked at him. She asked strangely, Are you waiting for me here?

Chu Yichen nodded at her.

Chu Luo walked towards him. Whats the matter?

Chu Yichen took out a jade pendant with a life-like phoenix carved on it. It was actually very similar to the jade pendant that Phoenix had carried back then.

This jade pendant was taken out from the ancient tomb?

After a few seconds, Chu Yichen nodded.

Chu Luo reached out to take it and looked at it. She looked up at him. You want to give me this jade pendant?

Chu Yichen nodded again and took out a piece of paper. The words on it were printed from a computer.

It read: Im leaving. Dont look for me.

Chu Luo frowned. Where are you going? Are you going to look for Mommy?

Chu Yichen stared at her for a while before nodding.

Then, he turned around and left.

Chu Luo looked at his back and felt strange. After he walked for a few meters, she finally remembered something. Im about to hold a wedding with Yan. Why are you leaving now?

Chu Yichen stopped in his tracks.

Chu Luo frowned even harder. Although she and Chu Yichen didnt have any father-and-daughter relations.h.i.+p, he was, after all, the father of this body. He ought to leave after her wedding, right?

Chu Yichen stood there without looking back or leaving, as if in thought.

Chu Luo frowned even harder. She guessed that Li Yan must have said something to him, but she believed Li Yan and felt that the problem lay with Chu Yichen.

She said, If youre not used to living here, you can move elsewhere during this period of time. I hope you can consider the Sun familys suggestion yesterday.

Chu Yichen turned around after a while, nodded at her, and left.

Chu Luo stood there and thought for a while. However, she still couldnt figure out what Chu Yichen meant, so she went to look for Li Yan to ask.

Li Yan said, Maybe hes still stuck at 18 years ago and cant accept everything now.

Chu Luo thought about it and felt that it was possible, so she asked, Have you told him what Chu Zhengyangs family did?

Mm. Li Yan wrapped his arm around her shoulder and led her towards the small courtyard. As they walked, he said, Chu Yichen is only related by blood to this body of yours. Hes not at all related to you. Since you cant accept that hes your father and he wants to leave, let him leave.

But

With Chu Yichens current appearance, do you think he wont attract trouble by appearing at the wedding in your fathers name?

Everyone knew that Chu Yichen had entered that tomb 18 years ago. There were so many legends about that tomb, so they would definitely a.s.sociate it with the immortal medicine.

Actually, its better not to let him appear at your wedding. This way, it wont cause trouble for his life in the future.

Chu Luo thought for a while and felt that Li Yans words made sense. She nodded. Youre right. He indeed doesnt look like my father at all. If I said that he was my older brother, others would still believe me. Ah why are you pinching me?

Li Yan retracted his hand from her waist in dissatisfaction and said with a dark expression, Dont call another man Brother.

Chu Luo:

Could this man be jealous again? What a strange jealousy trigger!
