Chapter 57 - 052 You Fulfilled Our Father's Dream (Second Update)
Yi Luowa's outfit was actually quite simple—a pair of sky-blue cropped pants and a white crystal-studded shirt. But these were Versace pieces, and there was no way Yan Zi wouldn't recognize them. Then her eyes fell on the capacious backpack little Yi Luowa was carrying—Hermès' latest model this year, easily six figures at the very least.
"What are you shutting out?" Tong Airui asked Yan Zi with amusement.
"Forget it if you don't want to talk." Yan Zi pursed her lips and handed a glass of iced orange juice to Yi Luowa, "Here, drink a little to quench your thirst." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Before Yi Luowa could reach for it, Tong Airui's hand had already snatched the iced orange juice, "She can't drink cold things. I'll take it."
Yi Luowa was genuinely thirsty, and when she saw the drink was gone, she pouted and muttered inwardly: Who said I can't drink cold stuff? Suddenly, a wave of warmth down below caught her attention, and Yi Luowa realized her period hadn't ended yet. Her cheeks flushed red as she stole a glance at Tong Airui. How did he know she was on her period?
Tong Airui took a sip of the iced orange juice and turned his head toward the kitchen, "Aunt Zhu Lin, could you make a cup of rose tea?"
From the kitchen, Zhu Lin responded affirmatively.
Yan Zi burst into laughter. "You brat, you sure know a lot!"
Yi Luowa looked at them, puzzled.
Tong Airui grinned, "Living in a house full of women, you pick things up after a while."
Mi Chenxuan settled into the sofa and pulled Yi Luowa's wheelchair closer to him. His eyes fell on the box in her hands, and he asked, "This box looks familiar. Did my fourth brother give it to you?"
"Yeah." Yi Luowa smiled and nodded, opening the box just a sliver for him to peek inside. "Pretty, isn't it?"
Mi Chenxuan glanced inside and chuckled, "Do you like this sort of thing?"
Tong Airui shot them a sideways glance. "Old Eight, I hear car horns. Go check if Uncle's back."
Mi Chenxuan patted Yi Luowa's hand lightly, "I'll go have a look. I'll be back to hang out with you in a bit."
Tong Airui's face darkened, and he looked away.
Mi Chenshuo and Tong Aino exchanged glances, and Yan Zi seemed to pick up on something, too. All three of them directed their gaze at Tong Airui's face.
Tong Airui raised an eyebrow, sweeping his glance over the three of them, "What are you all staring at me for? My uncle and eldest brother are back; I'm going to greet them."
"I'll go. You're wearing too much—don't end up with heat stroke," Tong Aino said as she followed Mi Chenxuan out of the hall.
Yan Zi reached out toward Tong Airui, "You're so stubborn. How hard is it to change outfits? Let your aunt help you take it off."
Tong Airui froze. If he took off his jacket, the lumbar support he was wearing underneath would be exposed!
With a loud "thunk," Yan Zi jumped in surprise and quickly turned to look at Yi Luowa.
Yi Luowa looked flustered as she turned to Yan Zi, "Sorry, I didn't hold onto it."
Yan Zi smiled and picked up the heavy rosewood box for her, "Why are you carrying something this heavy? Just leave it on the coffee table for now."
Tong Airui glanced at Yi Luowa, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. This little girl was quite clever.
Just as Yan Zi set the box down, Mi Xiaotian and Lance walked in, smiling.
Tong Airui quickly stood up, "Uncle, eldest brother, hello!"
"Looking sharp!" Mi Xiaotian said with a laugh as he approached, "Your dad was never this handsome in his day."
Lance gave his younger brother a long, thoughtful look. "True, pretty sharp! Even Dad never wore that outfit—you've fulfilled his dream for him!"
"That's because he never wanted to wear it back then." Tong Airui smiled as he took a step back. "Uncle, eldest brother, have a seat."
"Brother, Grandpa's here!" Tong Aini's voice called out from outside.
Everyone promptly stood up and went out to greet him.
Yi Luowa suddenly felt a bit awkward. Why did their family have so many people?
Moments later, everyone clustered around as an elderly gentleman was ushered inside.
