TWQQF ch 477 - A Startling Change; Everybody Has Their Own Plans (8)
Zhu Xiangyu, who was already feeling awkward being there, did not get the subtle hint in Mrs. Gong’s words and quickly said, “I shouldn’t impose. Shi mei Gong should get some rest. Good day, Mrs. Gong.”
“Alright, I won’t keep you if you have other matters to attend to. Since we will all be around for a bit, you can always come over later!”
“Okay!” said Zhu Xiangyu as he cupped his hands, turned and left.
After seeing him out of the courtyard, Mrs. Gong turned her attention back to her daughter and asked, “You really didn’t want to go get some rest?”
“Mom, I am really not tired. It was just one night, not a big deal!” said Gong Zixuan with a smile.
“Alright, up to you.” Mrs. Gong didn’t want to push her daughter any more. She sighed and said, “Little girl, do you really not like this Zhu Xiangyu? His background is much better than that of Luo Junhao. At the very minimum, n.o.body would give you any hard times and your days in the future would be much more comfortable!”
“Mom, do you think I’m the kind that would let others give me a hard time? As for my days in the future, how’d I have a tough life with our current standing. None of these are good reasons, mom. I really only want to be with shi xiong Luo.” Said Gong Zixuan as she blushed and bit her lips, her look decisive.
She already had her mind set on Luo Junhao and that would not change. No matter how many more better suitors showed up, no matter how wealthy their families were, this man whom she had been thinking about for the last few years was the only one she wanted to be with.
“What is it that you like about him that would make you pa.s.s up on better suitors?” This was the first time that Mrs. Gong truly talked about Luo Junhao with her daughter. The day that her daughter confided in her, she wasn’t even interested in talking about it at all.
Seeing that her mother seemed displeased, Gong Zixuan kept her mouth closed tightly for quite a while before she said, “Mom, is there ever a reason to like someone? I just like him, do I need any reasons? This is who I am. I just like him and that’s that!”
“You…”
Mrs. Gong was irritated by her daughter’s words and scolded her slight, “Go, go, go. Get out. I don’t want to see or hear it. You go do what you want and, one day, you will regret about this!”
“Mom, I won’t regret about this.” Said Gong Zixuan as she stood up and walked out of the courtyard after saying that last thing that she wanted to say.
She hasn’t seen Luo Junhao for a few days already and wasn’t going to let this opportunity pa.s.s her by. She walked faster and faster and quickly walked out of the quarters that her mother was staying in.
“Aye….” Mrs. Gong couldn’t help but let out a long sigh after her daughter has left. She said to herself, “No matter what, it would be difficult to make little girl Zixuan give up on the man she had her heart set on. Hmmm, let me go have a chat with Mrs. Cheng and find out what was her opinion on this!”
As she was talking, she stood up and walked in her usual elegant way to look for Mrs. Cheng.
“Shi xiong Luo!”
Gong Zixuan saw the man who just walked out of the courtyard and met up with him with a smile on her face, “Shi xiong Luo, where are you heading? You have something that need tending to?”
“No, nothing like that. I was just about to take a walk. I haven’t seen you in a few days. Were you spending time with you mother?” Luo Junhao has not yet formally been introduced to Mrs. Gong and so he had no idea what was her opinion on him.
“Yes, my mom spent the last few days helping me with my cultivation so I hadn’t had time to come look for you. Are you mad at me, shi xiong Luo?” Gong Zixuan smiled and put her arm into his and walked along side him.
“Of course not. I will never be mad at you.” Smiled Luo Junhao. Every time he saw her, he would clam down no matter how irritated he was. Just like right now, he felt calm and peaceful as soon as she had come.
