“Second uncle, we have things to do so we are going to leave first.” Luo Ling grabbed XunMi and HanShuang and ran off. He was afraid that more unhappy news would come out of his mouth if he stayed any longer.
He only slowed down after reaching a different road. Suddenly, he remembered something. He turned back to explain to XunMi.
“XunMi, Ah Su didn’t volunteer to marry Hua WuMo. You have to believe him.” Please don’t get angry because of these unnecessary things, Ah Su really needs you right now.
XunMi smiled as she wanted Luo Ling’s anxious expression. “I don’t think I ever said that I don’t believe him. Alright, take me to see him.” She believed that anyone could betray her. The only exception was the man whose love for her penetrated deep into his soul.
“That’s good, that’s good. Ah Su’s house is straight ahead.” Luo Ling sighed with relief.
The three quickly appeared in front of a simple and dignified courtyard. Although it was expansive, it looked comfortable.
Luo Ling greeted the gate guards and walked in. As they walked, they could hear the mutterings of discussion. More specifically, they could hear the words ‘wedding’, ‘young master’, ‘compatible’ being repeated.
XunMi was very calm with a slight smile, as if she was not affected at all.
Meanwhile, Luo Ling was nervous, carefully observing XunMi’s expression. He made a quick prayer in his heart. Please don’t run into any big-mouthed servants. He really was scared of this madam suddenly exploding.
But XunMi’s expression did not even change once until entering the grand hall.
“Uncle, auntie.” Luo Ling happily greeted the two people in front of him. There was many people gathered in the guest hall. A bright young girl sat on one side. She had large round eyes and was very adorable looking.
GongZi Su sat across from her on the other side of the room. His face was cold, his eyes were lowered so that no one could guess what he was thinking.
GongZi LiRen saw Luo Ling’s happy expression and couldn’t help but smile and nod in return. He was about to speak when he saw two unfamiliar women. “And who are these two?”
Everyone turned at GongZi LiRen’s words with different expressions.
“Uncle, these two are friends of Ah Su and I.” Luo Ling skipped to GongZi Su’s side, awakening him from his daze.
“Ah Su, Ah Su. Look who’s here!” Luo Ling knew his close friend too well. Since he had no way of getting out of these time-wasting meetings, he would only pretend to listen while actually escaping into his own thoughts.
He truly was a legend. He’s been s.p.a.cing out for so many years yet no one has ever noticed.
GongZi Su had closed off his five senses and was busy chasing after the red figure with the tender smile in his mind.
He had been interrupted by Luo Ling’s ramblings. He wrinkled his brows together but didn’t completely exit his imagination. When he finally raised his head and saw a very familiar red, he stood up in excitement.
“Mi’er, is it you?” Did you come to find me?
XunMi curved her lips up into a brighter smile. She walked towards GongZi Su one step at a time.
“SuSu, I promised to come find you. Why does it sound like you didn’t have confidence in me? That would make me very unhappy.~” She raised one eyebrow with a mischievous and flirtatious expression.
GongZi Su pulled the person he had been longing for into his embrace. His empty heart was suddenly whole again.
For every day that they had been separated, he had felt as his heart was barely beating.
“Mi’er, Mi’er, Mi’er…” XunMi allowed him to continuously whisper her name. Every time he called out, she would cooperatively respond.
The onlookers felt as if these two were in their own world. No one else could enter. A handsome man warmly hugging a graceful woman. One in red and one in white represented both ice and fire.
Hua WuMo looked enviously at the dazzling newcomer, her eyes obviously showing her jealousy.
She had liked Su gege for so many years. She had thought that she could finally become Su gege’s wife this time. Even if she lost all her cultivation in exchange, she was willing.
But this woman had messed up all her plans.
Su gege’s eternally indifferent expression was now filled with sweetness and doting. She knew exactly what that meant, because that was how she looked at him.
Only love could make you look at someone with such boiling pa.s.sion.
But Su gege’s eyes held a love more pa.s.sionate than hers, as if his world could only hold this one person. Or as if she was his entire world.
GongZi LiRen and his madam looked at each other with realization. No wonder they felt as if their son was a little different after returning this time. Their son has a love interest now!
Except this timing really wasn’t great.
XunMi felt people looking at her from all sides. Her cheeks turned red. She really had forgotten about all the people here.
She pushed away the person hugging her and smiled apologetically up at the two people sitting at the front of the room. “I apologize for my momentary lack of manners. I am LiuGuang sect’s XunMi. This is my disciple, Ouyang HanShuang. I hope you can forgive us for presumptuously visiting the hidden family clan.”
“Not at all, Miss Xun is being too polite. LiuGuang sect members are all so bright. Having such a high leveled student at such a young age, it is obvious that Miss Xun is a young heroine.” GongZi LiRen laughed and said. He had a good feeling about this straightforward girl.
But his eyes glanced at Hua family’s young miss. He felt a bit awkward.
He had just been discussing plans for her to marry his son just a moment ago. Now, he was praising the girl that his son loved.
“Father, the person I like is Mi’er. I won’t marry Hua WuMo. If you don’t agree, I will solve this issue myself.” GongZi Su stood by XunMi’s side protectively while speaking to his father.
“Also Mi’er is not Miss Xun. I’ve given her the surname GongZi. In this lifetime, GongZi Su’s madam can only be her.” His stubborn and firm words suddenly made GongZi LiRen remember GongZi Su at age five.
That time, he was also standing in front of him, determinedly saying that he was going to Death’s Eye to cultivate and gain experience.
As a father, he couldn’t allow his five year old child to go to Death’s Eye. But in the end, he still agreed.
His son left for ten years. By the time GongZi Su came back, he was already stronger than seniors of his generation.
Now in the present, GongZi LiRen was once again looking at his son, even more determined in his decision now than he was years ago.
GongZi LiRen really didn’t know how to feel. He should be proud, though, that GongZi family’s child is willing to take such responsibility for their actions.
“Forget it, enough. Do as you wish.” He knew that he couldn’t change his mind.
