Chapter 784: Chapter 764: Luo Yanfeng?!
Luo Qianqian was also startled, looking towards Luo Xinyue, and as she saw the expectant gaze in his eyes, she slowly nodded her head, "I should go."
She hesitated for a moment and then asked softly, "Do you really have to leave?"
"Every farewell is for a future reunion," Luo Xinyue said as he gently wiped Luo Qianqian’s mouth with a tissue. "We aren’t never going to see each other again, are we?"
Luo Qianqian nodded blankly, unable to refute, for without partings, where would be the emotion of a reunion after a long separation?
Looking at Luo Xinyue quietly, Luo Qianqian slowly lowered her head. "Then I must go to see you off."
Without asking why, she deeply knew that if she hadn’t discovered this, Luo Xinyue might have stayed here a bit longer, but once she found out...
Should she feel lucky that at least Luo Xinyue had a meal with her? That he didn’t just leave without a word, without having her learn from someone else that he had left?
"Qianqian, you are a very good child," Luo Xinyue said, feeling compassion for Luo Qianqian in her state, but the strangeness between them prevented him from offering any physical comfort. Initially, Luo Qianqian was little and had been in touch with the Luo Family for a long time, with so many people around.
Although they also had spent not a short amount of time together, their relationship before this was not that of father and daughter, but of teacher and student.
No matter how hard Luo Qianqian racked her brains, she couldn’t have imagined it would turn out like this, and this was why he dared to come here to teach.
"I know you have many little secrets," Luo Xinyue suddenly said.
Luo Qianqian looked up in surprise. What was he referring to?
Luo Xinyue looked at Luo Qianqian’s puzzled face and smiled slightly. "You should know, your brother will always love you. So you can talk to him about anything... And if you want to find me, you can also tell him."
Luo Qianqian paused for a moment before slowly nodding her head.
Luo Xinyue smiled and patted Luo Qianqian on the head, "When you turn eighteen, I promise, your brother will appear before you."
Feeling the warmth of his large hand, Luo Qianqian’s nose felt a bit sore.
Lin Xu would not do this to her; usually, it was only the Qin Family’s three siblings and her own brothers who would act like this with her, but this felt completely different from Luo Xinyue.
Luo Qianqian held back her tears and raised her head. "What if he shows up early?" Her face was all mischievous, "Brother wouldn’t make me wait that long. I believe in him."
Luo Xinyue was taken aback but then smiled, nodding his head, "Right, he can do that."
The two exchanged a few more jests before getting up.
Luo Xinyue drove Luo Qianqian away. The waitstaff, chefs, and greeters in the conference room had just finished a meeting, and they were reminded that these two were to be comped as VIPs, exempt from payment for any service or number of people they brought.
Sitting in the car, Luo Qianqian looked out at the swiftly passing nightscape and sighed softly.
"What’s the matter? Are you sleepy?" Luo Xinyue checked the time, thinking it was time for children to go to bed. He frowned and was about to suggest taking Luo Qianqian home to sleep.
He then heard Luo Qianqian’s voice tinged with helplessness, "I ate a little too much and feel stuffed."
Having eaten too much, one couldn’t go straight to sleep, so Luo Xinyue felt fully justified in continuing to the airport with Luo Qianqian.

"Next time, eat less. No matter how delicious, you can’t eat too much at once; it’s bad for the stomach," Luo Xinyue said with a serious face.
But Luo Qianqian just spread her hands, "Really? As far as I know, it’s not easy for me to taste something like this again." She slightly raised her eyebrows because it was made by Luo Xinyue herself, one of a kind, no other branch exists.
Luo Xinyue couldn’t help but bend her lips into a smile, listening to Luo Qianqian’s slightly complaining voice and feeling inexplicably warm inside.
"There are lots of delicious things out there..."
"Yeah, there are lots of delicious things, but the delicious things made by a certain person are rare, just like brother’s steamed egg custard, ah... I don’t want to eat it." Luo Qianqian pouted, "I’ve had too much, now I don’t feel like eating anything."
Luo Xinyue laughed as she listened to Luo Qianqian’s complaints while casually pressing a few buttons on her phone.
Suddenly they were at the airport. Luo Qianqian observed the crowd inside, coming and going, and felt a spreading sadness. They had only just recognized each other not long ago; why did they have to part so soon?
And with this parting, who knows when they would see each other again.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Luo Qianqian with a drooping face, Luo Xinyue bent down to look her in the eyes.
Gazing at the tears brimming in Luo Qianqian’s eyes, Luo Xinyue felt a tremor in her heart. This was his daughter, after all, related by blood, whose emotions could not be faked.
Luo Qianqian looked at Luo Xinyue, holding back her tears and asked in a gossiping tone, "Don’t you have any luggage?"
"The luggage is on its way; it will be here soon." Luo Xinyue smiled, "It’s just in time for him to take you back later."
"Elvis?" As Luo Xinyue nodded, Luo Qianqian’s face didn’t show any surprise, she just composedly curved her lips.
Even though she had only discovered some things by chance, it didn’t disrupt her deductions. Linking together the past events, Luo Qianqian could only think of Elvis. After all, Elvis was the only student in the class who could have private contact with Yue Xiluo.
Plus, the homework... it was clearly Elvis who’d helped her. Since Luo Xinyue guessed it was his handwriting that gave him away, it really explained a lot.
For this, some people lamented, it’s all about the face in this world.
"His Chinese name is Luo Yanfeng," Luo Xinyue said calmly.
Luo Qianqian nearly choked on her own saliva, her cheeks twitching slightly, "An affair within marriage???" And with a foreigner???
"What are you thinking?" Luo Xinyue’s face also showed a bit of helplessness, "He’s the child I adopted, his parents are both deceased." What to do if a child has too big of an imagination? Do they need zinc supplements? What to do if a child seems a bit simple-minded?
"Ah?" Luo Qianqian blinked, then nodded her head in resignation, "But... doesn’t that make him my brother, too?"
"Isn’t it good to have one more brother to protect you?" Luo Xinyue looked at Luo Qianqian’s expression, somewhat puzzled. Why did she seem so troubled?
"I have four cousins." Luo Xinyue nodded, knowing about the two children from his eldest and second brothers: "And I have one biological brother." Luo Xinyue kept nodding; that would be his son, definitely has to be a brother: "And there’s another brother Uncle Lin brought." An Zilan’s new partner’s child; Luo Xinyue’s face darkened slightly, yet he still nodded: "I also have a stepbrother." Luo Xinyue continued nodding; the son of An Zilan’s second sister, he remembered.
"That makes seven already, wow. And with him, that’s eight!!!" And the sad part was, how many people were there in their dorm altogether? Two cousins-in-law were already settled, and Lin Jiayou would probably also be brought home to marry, right...
"Isn’t that a good thing?" Luo Xinyue didn’t quite grasp why Luo Qianqian was distressed.
"I’ve already found three sisters-in-law for myself, I was thinking three more would be enough. Now, there’s one more!!!"
