Rong Qiu and Yao Ling"s jaws dropped so wide due to the surprise. They talked at the same time, "Ew! What are you talking about?!" They couldn"t even imagine that kind of scenario, so how could think of such a disgusting thought ah~?!
No matter what, they were still father and daughter ah~! They felt really weird when they heard that and awkwardly looked away from each other. Rong Qiu felt that his son was always making trouble since he was young! Was that really the appropriate thing to ask?!
Yao Ying and Lin Jian were also feeling dumbfounded at first, but in the end, they really wanted to laugh out loud when they saw Rong Qiu and Yao Ling"s expression. This new brother of Yao Ling was quite funny... They guessed that he must have been joking --- if not, then he must be a really weird man or well... maybe a bit too straightforward. He didn"t filter the questions that he wanted to ask despite the situation.
Rong Qiu pointed at Rong Heng in anger and scolded him with a loud voice, "Why are you so dirty-minded? Don"t talk nonsense ah~! Don"t you see that she"s too young to be my wife?!"
When Rong Heng saw their reactions, he sighed in relief. It seemed like his worry didn"t really happen --- who wanted to have such a young woman as his mother? In fact, his question wasn"t a joke... He was being serious.
However, he didn"t know that he would be surprised by another kind of news... If he knew about it, he wouldn"t have sighed in relief in advance.
"Then... why are they here?" Rong Heng gave them a smile and explained politely, "I didn"t mean to be rude, but there were a lot of people who wanted to get close to my father for benefits. I just want to know your purposes for being here."
Rong Qiu frowned. Which one was the father here?! He really neede to teach his son a lesson ah~! Where was his respect towards him... his father?!
But... Rong Qiu actually knew the reasons why Rong Heng behaved defensively like this. He somehow understood that Rong Heng actually hated how his real father was helping the Bei Yue people back then --- because of helping them, the real Uncle Qiu even let Rong Heng stay in the capital all alone for quite some time while he was going out on a journey to where the Bei Yue people came from.
In a way, little Rong Heng felt abandoned by his father due to those unknown people. He could see that Rong Heng started to get vigilance towards strangers at that time --- not all strangers, but strangers that wanted to get close to Rong Qiu.
Not only that but right after he was big enough, Rong Qiu left him and stayed with Aunt Yue... Rong Heng felt that Rong Qiu kept choosing strangers who needed help over him, his own son. Ever since then, Rong Heng"s repulsiveness towards new people that got closer to him became even more evident. That was the reason for his headache. He wondered what kind of reaction he would make when he knew the truth ah~!
Feng Yong Rui knew about this and that was the reason why he was laughing at Rong Qiu"s predicament. "That sly old fox!" Rong Qiu whined inwardly.
"Wait... Wait... Wait... Why are you being so rude to them?! I will be the one who explains everything to you!" Rong Qiu answered in a low voice. He felt apologetic towards the trio for being treated rudely that way. He mouthed "sorry" for the trio and the three of them nodded their heads.
They didn"t feel offended because they seemed to notice that there must be a reason for Rong Heng to do that. Once they had listened to Qi Hao who mentioned Rong Heng in one of their talks and they knew that he was a good man who protected his beloved in a quite hardcore way --- maybe he was just being too overprotective.
Rong Heng just shrugged off his shoulder. "I just don"t want you to be taken advantage of by unknown people and that"s why I want to know the reason why they are here. I know that it"s hard for new people to get closer to you... and yet, you bring the three of them home. How can I not feel worried about you?" Rong Heng explained his point of view.
"They are not asking for anything from me!" Rong Qiu answered, feeling that his son started to get more paranoid each time they met.
"Then... why are they here?" He asked in a better and kinder tone than before. It seemed that he had finally warming up for a little bit. After hearing Rong Qiu"s explanation, Rong Heng started to loosen up a little bit. It seemed like he had mistaken their reasons for being here.
Wu Cheng looked at his young master pitifully... "Young Master... you will be surprised in a moment..." He thought to himself and flinched when he thought of what was going to happen after this.
"This..." Rong Qiu said hesitantly. He honestly didn"t know where to start and Yao Ling couldn"t help him in this matter. The revelation of the truth was actually the matter between him and Rong Heng.
Yao Ling asked in a low voice, "Er... would it be better if we wait outside?" She wanted to give them a chance to have a little privacy.
Rong Qiu thought that it was a good idea and nodded his head in agreement. In the end, the trio really went out of the room and Wu Cheng asked a servant to serve them. After the trio was gone, the atmosphere started to become tense once again.
Rong Heng was wondering why it was so hard for his father to say the reasons ah~! His mind started to wander around, feeling that this must have been a really important matter. Maybe it was about Xiao Fang"s matter? He had heard about it in bits and pieces... Thus, Rong Heng decided to ease the tension so it would be easier for his father to talk.
"Father, can I sit down first?" He asked.
Rong Qiu thought it would be better ah~! If he stood up, maybe he would fall down because he was too shocked! He quickly nodded his head and answered, "Good... Good... You can sit down first... Sit down first..."
After he sat down, Rong Qiu still didn"t say anything and it made Rong Heng feel really helpless. The latter rolled his eyes and tried to make a small joke, "What? It"s not like you are going to tell me that she"s your newfound daughter... Why are you being so nervous ah~? If you have something important to tell me, why don"t you just say it?" He laughed out loud when he said that.
He expected that Rong Qiu would sigh in relief and scold him just like before... but he found that something wasn"t right. The expression that he had waited from his father didn"t come... Rong Heng looked up and paid close attention to his father"s reaction.
His father... was getting tenser...?
In the end, his father didn"t laugh along with him, but instead, he looked at him with wide eyes. Rong heng started to become sober instantly. Why didn"t his father"s laugh? How could he know that he had actually guessed correctly? He was just wondering what was wrong with his father.
Even Wu Cheng was surprised by his young master"s perfect guess... Did Young Master become a shaman after he left their home?
