12dz Chapter 389 was quite a blunder.
Chapter 389 was quite a blunder.
As Qiao Luo was thinking, she heard Lu Tingnian's voice.
She looked over, puzzled.
Lu Tingnian: "You said so much at the restaurant, but didn't you ask me anything?"
Qiao Luo looked at him with an even more puzzled expression.
Seeing that she still looked confused, Lu Tingnian had no choice but to say, "Now that you have met my father, don't you want to know why I have never mentioned him to you?"
Qiao Luo certainly wanted to know, but she wouldn't force her.
Unless Lu Tingnian tells her on his own initiative, she will not take the initiative to ask about it.
After all, if he doesn't want to talk about something, he has his reasons, so why should she force him?
This is the tacit understanding that two people should most cherish when they are together.
"Whether I want to know or not is not important; what's important is whether you want me to know."
Just like how she had met his father but didn't tell him right away.
Lu Tingnian remained silent.
After a long silence, he slowly said, "I don't get along with him, so... do you mind?"
Qiao Luo: "What's there to mind? I don't have a good relationship with my family either, and I've never formally brought you home."
She spoke very casually.
Lu Tingnian looked at her. "So, you're not angry anymore?"
"Am I angry?" She looked at him too.
Their eyes met, and though they hadn't said anything, it was as if they had said everything.
Lu Tingnian held her hand with great satisfaction.
He thought that what she said before was meant to anger him, that she was angry that he had never thought of telling her that he had such a father.
Now it seems he was overthinking things.
"Why?" he asked again.
Are you asking her why she's not angry?
Qiao Luo thought about it and realized that perhaps it was because her family of origin was also a mess.
Therefore, she wouldn't demand harmony in his family.
Moreover, is there such a thing as a perfectly harmonious family relationship in this world?
"Because there are many disharmonious families and many disharmonious parent-child relationships in this world, why should I be angry?"
Lu Tingnian agreed with what she said.
Perhaps only she can understand.
Thinking this, he tightened his grip on her hand and said:
"I'll introduce you to my mother sometime."
Qiao Luo was surprised.
So he does have a mother.
It seems she had quite a misunderstanding about him before!
"What's wrong? Are you scared? My mother is very easy to get along with."
Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Tingnian asked.
Qiao Luo quickly shook her head.
She wasn't scared, she was just guilty.
After all, she always believed that Lu Tingnian's parents had long since passed away.
But I didn't expect...
What a huge blunder!
"Alright, alright, stop asking me questions. Now it's my turn to ask you questions."
Fearing he would continue to dwell on the topic, Qiao Luo quickly changed the subject.
Lu Tingnian smiled at her: "Oh? Is there anything else you want to ask me?"
Qiao Luo: "Of course."
"Okay, just ask."
Lu Tingnian straightened his posture, ready to listen attentively.
Qiao Luo felt a little guilty, after all, she had only said those things to change the subject, and now he had her caught up in the situation.
She had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "...Let me ask you, why aren't you curious about that check?"
Lu Tingnian frowned. "What's there to be curious about?"
Qiao Luo: "Of course I have. Why don't you ask me why I took that check?"
Lu Tingnian shrugged: "Didn't you say before that it's because you're an ordinary citizen and need it?"
Qiao Luo: "..."
How could he remember it so clearly?
"Even so, you should at least ask me what I'm going to do after I get the check."
Isn't this the usual formula in TV dramas?
When she brought this up, Lu Tingnian found it amusing.
"Okay, now I'll ask you what you plan to do next."
His sudden, serious question caught Qiao Luo off guard.
"I……"
Seeing that she had been stammering for a long time without coming up with anything, Lu Tingnian interrupted her helplessly: "Alright, I already knew that."
