It must be said, Luo Suyun has a real talent for storytelling. Her voice and expressions are captivating, and coupled with the thrilling events of that day, as she narrated, Chu Shiyao and Shu Lulu were quickly and completely engrossed, fully imrsed in the scenario of that day.
anwhile, Luo Suyun's right foot was slowly and silently moving under the table, finally reaching the side of Chu Ge's foot. She lifted her heel and stepped on Chu Ge's foot, not too lightly, not too heavily.
At that mont, Chu Ge was listening intently, completely unaware of Luo Suyun's little maneuver under the table, until he suddenly felt a step on his foot. Instinctively, he let out a hiss, and his expression grew sowhat peculiar.
Originally, the only sound in the room was Luo Suyun's voice. Chu Ge's hiss beca quite noticeable, instantly drawing the attention of Chu Shiyao and Shu Lulu.
"Brother Chu, what's wrong with you? Is the rash on your face acting up again?"
Facing Chu Shiyao's concerned gaze, Chu Ge gave a wry smile, "Uh… no, I just bit my tongue accidentally."
Hearing this, Shu Lulu giggled and said to Luo Suyun, "Mom, you're amazing. It seems even the uncle is so engrossed in your story. Do continue."
At this point, Chu Ge felt another grind on his foot, and couldn't help but glance at Luo Suyun in distress. Yet Luo Suyun didn't et his gaze, just smiled slightly and continued with her story.
Chu Ge was silently lanting his predicant. He clearly rembered Luo Suyun's fierce kick when dealing with that rogue, and he recalled her saying that if she found out who that uncle was, she would certainly break his third leg. He was truly afraid that she might suddenly give him the sa treatnt.
It was fortunate it was him, Chu Ge. If it had been soone else in this situation, they might have been so scared that they would scream out loud right there.
However, soon enough, Chu Ge noticed that Luo Suyun's expression didn't show any anger, only a sense of hidden frustration. Plus, the force of her foot wasn't very strong, at least within his tolerable range.
Co to think of it, he had saved Luo Suyun before, both emotionally and rationally, she wouldn't really step hard on him, would she?
With this thought, Chu Ge discreetly observed Luo Suyun's expression and noticed a hint of pride.
At this mont, Chu Ge realized that, as expected, this female rascal was using this thod to "punish" him for keeping things about her daughter a secret from her.
In fact, Luo Suyun did start off with just wanting to give Chu Ge a small scare and "retaliation," but after hearing his hiss, she felt a significant sense of accomplishnt, so she kept "bullying" him in this manner.
"Hmm…"
After holding back for so long, Chu Ge finally let out a low hum from his throat.
Fortunately, Chu Shiyao and Shu Lulu were engrossed in the story. Though they heard the low hum, they paid it no mind and didn't even glance at him.
Unable to resist, Chu Ge sneaked a glance at Luo Suyun, believing she would understand, aning: "Sister, I was wrong, okay? You've stepped on enough tis, isn't that enough? Your high heels do hurt!"
Luo Suyun indeed noticed Chu Ge's gaze and understood his aning, but even after he humd again, she simply continued to ignore him, refusing to move her foot away and continuing to step on him resentfully.
Pain, pain, pain… Chu Ge finally couldn't help but let out a small sound once more.
This ti, Chu Ge's voice was louder, and Chu Shiyao and Shu Lulu couldn't help but turn their heads to look at him, "Uncle, we didn't see you eating anything. You didn't bite your tongue again, did you?"
Chu Ge coughed twice, "Throat… hss… kind of sore, maybe… hss… maybe I was choked by the fus just now."
As the saying goes, when you're out there causing trouble, soday you'll have to pay for it.
Shu Lulu shook her head helplessly and turned her gaze back to Luo Suyun's face. Just as she was about to urge her to finish the story, she noticed a strange look in Luo Suyun's eyes.
Blinking, Shu Lulu curiously asked, "Mom, why aren't you finishing the story? Why are you keeping us in suspense?"
The person Luo Suyun was talking about was right in front of her, so she was naturally conflicted.
However, this kind of thing was sothing she couldn't possibly tell her daughter. Luo Suyun waved her hand to fan herself and said casually, "It's nothing, just a bit hot."
For Chu Ge, what was fortunate was that at this mont, Luo Suyun finally withdrew her foot, finally ending her revenge on Chu Ge.
"Just like that, the man who looked a lot like Mr. Chu left right after saving ."
After discreetly adjusting her emotions and breathing, Luo Suyun finally finished her story a minute later, albeit with so modifications to the ending, leaving out so of the later events.
"And then?"
Both Shu Lulu and Chu Shiyao, not yet satisfied, asked in unison.
Luo Suyun shook her head helplessly, her gaze complex as it briefly swept over Chu Ge, "And then there was nothing."
Shu Lulu also shook her head, expressing regret, "Ah, what a pity. That guy was so handso, just for that, he passed my test. If you guys could be together, and if he treated a little better, I could even willingly call him 'Dad'."
Luo Suyun adjusted her hair and gave Chu Ge a discreet glance, then casually smiled at her daughter, "Ah, since he just left, it shows he wasn't interested in . If you want such a dad, he doesn't even give us that chance."
Listening to the mother and daughter, Chu Ge was at a loss for words. Luo Suyun's words seed a bit sour.
That incident was purely accidental. Could she really have developed feelings for him because of it?
"I actually think this ending is quite good. In this world nowadays, it's rare to find soone so brave and wise, who rescues others in trouble and expects nothing in return. In my impression, only Brother Chu is like that. Co on, Lulu, don't be upset, eat sothing."
Seeing Shu Lulu's regretful face, Chu Shiyao smiled in comfort, offering a piece of cola chicken wing to her.
"Hehe, that's true, let's eat. If we don't, it'll get cold soon and we'll miss out on this rare treat!"
Shu Lulu, after all, still had the innocence of a young girl; her sulkiness ca and went quickly. She laughed and bowed her head to eat, savoring the cola chicken wings Chu Ge made, even though it wasn't her first ti.
Watching Chu Shiyao, Chu Ge felt incredibly grateful. Her words were just what he needed, like tily rain!
Luo Suyun, on the other hand, looked at Chu Ge with a hint of resentnt. This guy was really going out of his way to avoid eting her. Did he really find her that intimidating?
Seeing Luo Suyun's gaze, Chu Ge pretended not to notice, trying to change the topic with laughter.
Unfortunately, before he could, Shu Lulu, nibbling on a chicken wing, mumbled, " too, never t such a good man as Uncle. Mom, take another look at Uncle's face; are you sure it wasn't him who saved you?"
Chu Ge's heart skipped a beat. Damn, this little girl really knew how to stir things up. The topic was over; couldn't she just stop causing trouble?
While Chu Ge was thinking this, Luo Suyun actually started examining his face seriously, then smiled at Shu Lulu and Chu Shiyao.
"You really shouldn't say, if I carefully examine him from all angles..."
She halted there, leaving Chu Ge extrely anxious, subtly signaling her with his eyes, as if to say, "Sister, don't ss around. It's not good if your daughter finds out. Even if you're tough, you can't be that bold. Please, give a break, won't you?"
Chu Ge's eye signals seed to have no effect at all, as Luo Suyun continued to scrutinize him with a faint smile.
"Wow! Mom, really? Could it be that Uncle saved you?"
At this point, Shu Lulu could no longer worry about her chicken wing, instinctively widening her already large eyes in disbelief.
In this atmosphere, Chu Shiyao also focused her attention on Luo Suyun and Chu Ge.
Luo Suyun smiled, uttering the words that made Chu Ge's heart pound, "Well, you really shouldn't say..."
"Oh my, it really was Uncle? I said so! Uncle was acting strange today, with that inexplicable thing on his face. Was he afraid Mom would recognize him?"
Shu Lulu got even more excited, quickly turning to Luo Suyun, "Mom, how long are you going to examine Uncle's face? Hurry and tell us, is it him?"
In this atmosphere, Chu Ge's head felt like it was going to explode. He couldn't imagine what it would be like if Luo Suyun really revealed the truth.
Finally, Luo Suyun suddenly smiled, "You really shouldn't say, those two... they look nothing alike."
Chu Ge breathed a sigh of relief, and Shu Lulu was speechless, "Why did you get our hopes up then? Seriously..."
After a while, the al finally ended. Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao saw Luo Suyun and Shu Lulu out the door. Watching their backs, they couldn't help but let out a long breath of relief.
Though he didn't know what future interactions with Shu Lulu and her mother would be like, at least today's matter ended quite smoothly.
