Chapter 782: Chapter 762: Can You Please Not Show Up in Front of Mom?
"I won’t go into the reasons as it’s all in the past now, the important thing is that I’m healthy." Luo Xinyue looked at the genuine concern on Luo Qianqian’s face and was quite moved. After all, they hadn’t even acknowledged each other as family yet, no, not yet; they had only had a heart-to-heart talk for a few hours. That Luo Qianqian could care so much about him already satisfied him immensely.
Then he smiled and said, "How can two people with O-type blood have children with B-type blood? That became my question."
Luo Qianqian curled her lips in disdain. So you just grab people and research them? If he wasn’t your child, Luo Shufan probably wouldn’t exist in this world by now, right? With this thought, Luo Qianqian’s face grew several degrees colder.
But then she thought again, even if you don’t trust me, you should trust Mom. How could Mom be that kind of person?
Her tone turned very cold, "Even if you don’t trust us, you should trust your former wife. By saying this, you make me feel like Mom was blind in her youth." That’s why she would fall for someone like you who doubted her everywhere!
Even if this man was Luo Xinyue, her and Luo Shufan’s dad, he couldn’t replace Mom in their hearts.
Mom raised them through all the hardships. If it wasn’t for her being reborn, An Zilan would have been toiling her whole life and still worrying endlessly for her.
Luo Xinyue was taken aback and also discerned the words Luo Qianqian had left unsaid.
A gentle smile formed on his lips, "I’m truly glad, glad that this flashy world hasn’t blinded you. Your mom is the greatest."
Then he sighed softly, grabbed some meat, and began to slice it expertly, "I took your brother away precisely because I believed in your mother. I trusted her character and the person I had loved for so long would never turn my head into a green grassland."
Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes. Why didn’t she believe him?
But green grassland... Did this expression even exist now?
"However, it’s clear that your brother is my child in every way." Luo Shufan had eyebrows and eyes that resembled him a great deal. Ah, and that impulsive temper as well.
Luo Shufan also worried immensely about the potential consequences that might cause his family concern.
"You did a paternity test, right?" Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes again.
Luo Xinyue was startled, then smiled and nodded, "Yes." He was too impulsive at that time, acting without considering the consequences. If it weren’t for his friend taking care of things afterward, he probably would have been exposed to the public by now.
Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes again, "You didn’t even know if he was your own kid; your eyes are really no use."
Both siblings had traits that greatly resembled the Luo family, otherwise, the Luo family wouldn’t have accepted them without a paternity test.
"You’re right in your criticism, and I accept it," replied Luo Xinyue with a smile, his face still radiating gentleness, "But you felt relieved after checking, didn’t you?"
Caught off guard, Luo Qianqian nodded in agreement. Indeed, that was the case. Her heart, which had been racing to burst out of her chest, suddenly calmed down the moment she saw the words ’biological father’ on the test results.
"I’m starting to cook, you can go over there. There should be some snacks in that cabinet," Luo Xinyue said as he waved Luo Qianqian away, gesturing for her to move aside.
Although Luo Qianqian was startled, she immediately reacted, moving quickly to escape the splatter zone of the Oil Spot Meeting.
Seeing Luo Qianqian’s swift reaction, Luo Xinyue couldn’t help but light the fire with a smile.
Luo Qianqian didn’t eat any of the exquisite pastries set aside; she just silently watched the back of the man she previously only saw in the classroom. Was this man really cooking for her now?
And this popular professor, he was also her father?
It was unbelievable no matter how she thought about it.
Watching him manipulate the cooking spoon like an elf tumbling through flames, Luo Qianqian felt a sourness in her nose.
She had once resented, why did everyone else have a father’s love, but not her?
Later, after experiencing a period of growth, she gradually came to terms with it, hence the presence of her godfather, He Jun, and now her stepfather, Lin Xu.
Luo Xinyue’s sudden appearance now filled her with confusion. Naturally, she wished her parents were together, but would that be fair to Lin Xu? Her mother had waited for her father for many years, but what then? From holding onto a sliver of hope to the ultimate silence, and then slowly moving on from that despair, she didn’t want her mother to go through such extreme ups and downs again. Now her mother wasn’t just her and Luo Shufan’s mother; she was An Hao’s mother and Lin Xu’s wife as well.
As a daughter, she couldn’t be so selfish.
With these thoughts, tears involuntarily slipped from Luo Qianqian’s eyes.
She loved her mother, just like the mother who had aged so quickly out of worry for her. They were all her mother, and no mother wouldn’t want her child to be happy, nor could any child bear to watch their mother struggle with sadness without offering comfort.
The best solution now was for Luo Xinyue not to appear before her mother, just as her mother thought, as if he was no longer there, only to be remembered.
After Luo Xinyue finished cooking and placing the dish, he turned to expect Luo Qianqian to praise the meal he made, but instead, he discovered Luo Qianqian silently watching his back and shedding tears.
He hurriedly wiped his hands, and in his flustered attempt to approach, he knew how to handle mischievous boys, but delicate young girls, especially his own daughter, left him completely at a loss. He was almost ready to pull out his phone and call for help.
"What’s wrong, Qianqian? Did the smoke from the oil irritate you?"
"Can you promise me one thing?" Luo Qianqian wiped her tears and looked serious.
Seeing Luo Qianqian’s expression, Luo Xinyue also paused, then nodded seriously after a moment, "Let’s hear it."
"Could you... not appear before mom?" Luo Qianqian’s eyes brimmed with glistening tears, yet her face was filled with sadness and conflict.
"Mom has Uncle Lin now, and that’s enough..."
Luo Xinyue looked at Luo Qianqian, then suddenly smiled, pulling out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe away her tears, "You know, Qianqian, you’ve grown up, learning to consider your mother’s feelings, and that makes me very happy."
After a moment’s pause, he continued, "I never planned to appear before anyone, I just wanted to see how my daughter has grown, to see what makes my son worry and mutter even amidst his busy work and studies, that’s all." Gazing into Luo Qianqian’s questioning eyes, and her small nose that strongly resembled his own, "You see, it’s over between your mother and me, whatever it was, it ended the moment I left. From that moment on, our fate had run its course." As he spoke, a flicker of nostalgia passed through his eyes before disappearing, "She’s doing well now, what right, what reason do I have to disturb her? I am grateful that fate allowed us to meet."
