Liu Fengsheng noticed Fang Pingying’s gaze and looked over as well, pausing slightly when he saw Luo Zhiyong standing at the bottom of the stairs. He then took a few steps towards the staircase and said with a smile, "Is Battalion Commander Luo here to see Ruirui and Haohao? It’s good timing. Yaoyao was just at ho calling for her daddy."
Liu Fengsheng’s words were ambiguous as whether they were intentional or not, but Luo Zhiyong felt as though Liu Fengsheng was implying he was already living with Fang Pingying. It seed like they were sharing a ho together, spoken with intimate undertones. He deliberately ntioned how Yaoyao was behaving at ho, as though he was very familiar with everything in her household.
At this mont, Luo Zhiyong suddenly realized that Liu Fengsheng was not as humble, gentlemanly, and uncontentious as he outwardly appeared. In fact, he seed extrely ruthless at heart.
In front of others, he was always polite, congenial, and gracious, never imposing on Fang Pingying, respecting all her choices.
But invisibly, he was slowly encroaching on what he wanted, using the pressures from those around him, and his harmless gentlemanly facade, to gradually penetrate and dominate; and deep down, he was so assertive that he had to obtain whatever he desired.
However, although Luo Zhiyong misunderstood that Fang Pingying was living with Liu Fengsheng, he was also certain that given Fang Pingying’s character, she wouldn’t have moved in with Liu Fengsheng so quickly.
He didn’t say much, just gave a slight smile to Liu Fengsheng and greeted, "Mr. Liu, good morning."
"Good morning to you," Liu Fengsheng responded with a soft smile, then he turned to Fang Pingying and said, "Pingying, I’m heading to work now, rember to call if you need anything."
To be honest, Fang Pingying felt sowhat panicked seeing Luo Zhiyong, not understanding why or what exactly she was panicking about.
Thus, she didn’t pay much attention to what Liu Fengsheng and Luo Zhiyong were saying, and it took her a while to react after Liu Fengsheng had greeted her. She nodded at him and said, "Okay."
Watching Liu Fengsheng leave, Luo Zhiyong looked at Fang Pingying and then stood at the doorway, seemingly not intending to co in. He seed to be seeking Fang Pingying’s opinion, "I’ve co to take Haohao and Yaoyao to stay with my dad for the morning. After lunch, I’ll bring them back?"
Fang Pingying didn’t know why Luo Zhiyong didn’t want to co inside, but she wasn’t about to invite him either. She just said, "Alright, take them with you, just watch over them."
After saying that, Fang Pingying went inside and called to the kids playing by the couch, "Ruirui, Yaoyao, your dad is here. He wants to take you to grandpa’s place to play. Take your toys with you."
Hearing this, Yaoyao, Ruirui, and Haohao ran to the door imdiately. Seeing Luo Zhiyong there, Yaoyao and Ruirui both started shouting, "Daddy, daddy."
Luo Zhiyong’s face softened imdiately upon seeing his two little treasures. He quickly knelt down to embrace all three kids.
The kids were thrilled to see Luo Zhiyong back, uncontrollably dragging him inside to show him their newly bought toys and clothes.
After being pulled in, Luo Zhiyong greeted Fang Ping’an and his wife in the living room, then quietly said to Yaoyao and the others by the couch, "Daddy can’t stay ho for long, I’m taking you to play at grandpa’s, and then daddy must go, so we need to get going soon."
The kids had recently been spending a lot of ti with Dashan and were familiar with him, so they agreed imdiately.
But Yaoyao paused for a mont, then suddenly ran to where Fang Pingying was tidying up in the kitchen and shouted, "Mommy, co with us."
Fang Pingying looked at her and consoled her, "Mommy won’t co. Mommy has to go to the hospital to see your great uncle. He’s sick, and your aunt is there alone. Mommy needs to bring them food."
Yaoyao actually knew about the family matters and wasn’t insisting, just saying, "Mom, let’s go downstairs."
Fang Pingying understood what she ant, which was for her to go downstairs with them. She didn’t refuse that, quickly gathered her things, and prepared to leave.
But as they were heading to the door, Li Yuchun suddenly grabbed Haohao, who was following beside Yaoyao and Ruirui, and exclaid, "Haohao is not going."
Upon hearing this, Haohao was displeased, pouted, and looked at Fang Pingying, pleadingly saying, "Auntie, Grandma, I want to go too."
Luo Zhiyong thought Li Yuchun was worried about him being a nuisance, so he imdiately spoke up, "Aunt, they are together often anyway, let take him along to play, and I’ll bring him back later."
"No, Haohao cannot go, just take Yaoyao and the others," Li Yuchun said, then directly picked up Haohao and headed back into the room, "Haohao, co inside with Grandma, I’ll get you sothing to eat."
Haohao resisted, crying in Li Yuchun’s arms, "Grandma, I want to go."
Seeing that she couldn’t soothe him, Li Yuchun whispered in his ear, "If you go, that bad person from yesterday will be there again, and they’ll give you an injection."
"I don’t want an injection." Haohao, covering the spot where he had blood drawn yesterday, imdiately shook his head at Fang Pingying and Yaoyao, "Auntie, sister Yaoyao, I’m not going."
Although Li Yuchun kept her voice very low, Luo Zhiyong still heard her clearly. He was puzzled, wondering who the bad person was yesterday and why Haohao was so afraid.
Seeing Luo Zhiyong’s expression, Fang Pingying planned to tell him about what happened with Haohao. Holding a lunch box in one hand and holding Yaoyao with the other, she greeted Li Yuchun and then went downstairs with Luo Zhiyong.
Once downstairs, Luo Zhiyong and Fang Pingying spoke at the sa ti,
"You and him..."
"Sothing..."
Finally, Luo Zhiyong nodded at Fang Pingying, "You speak."
"About Haohao," Fang Pingying moved closer to Luo Zhiyong, lowering her voice so the children wouldn’t hear, "Yesterday, Luo Zhiming abruptly, almost like a madman, took Haohao to the hospital for a blood test, then claid that Haohao is his son. He also said he wants to co visit Haohao often. Can you and your dad, or maybe tell Luo Zhiming to not harbor any absurd ideas, Haohao isn’t his child and he doesn’t need to co see him."
Due to Fang Pingying’s sudden closeness and slling her familiar scent, Luo Zhiyong’s heart seed to skip a beat. How long had it been since they had been this close?
Perhaps, they would never have this chance again.
Taking it as the last ti, Luo Zhiyong took a deep breath, wanting to rember this familiar scent forever. In fact, even if he wanted to forget, he probably couldn’t, because so things, once they seep into your bones, beco impossible to forget.
Seeing Fang Pingying’s eyes gazing straight at her, burning intensely, she felt her face unexpectedly grow warm. Then seeing him completely out of it, she frowned and nudged him, "Luo Zhiyong, are you listening to what I said?"
