Chapter 22 Okay, let's go home.

Luo Tingwei hadn't expected him to focus on this, and nodded blankly.

"What do you want from me?"

Li Yanzhou suddenly smiled broadly, as if bathed in a spring breeze.

Luo Tingwei told the truth, "Change the dressing."

"You forgot, the dressing needs to be changed at this time."

The man paused for a moment, then realized that it seemed to be true.

He suddenly had an urgent matter to attend to today, forgot about this, and went out unexpectedly.

In fact, thanks to her these past few days, his wound has almost healed.

"It's my fault, it's all my fault for going out."

He seemed to be in a good mood. "Then you can help me change when we get back to the room."

Luo Tingwei was puzzled when she saw that he had said so much but hadn't questioned her about the theft.

Doesn't he suspect her at all?

According to Aunt Wu, the stolen necklace was priceless; he had bought it at an auction.

Thinking this through, she finally couldn't help but ask him, "By the way..."

"Aren't you going to ask me whether I was in the study or not..."

Li Yanzhou remained nonchalant, answering the question in a lazy tone.

"Actually, the other things are fine, but the things in that jewelry box really took me a lot of effort."

He looked at her, and suddenly smiled gently, "I know it's not you."

"But even if you took it, it's fine, since it was a gift for you anyway."

"A gift for me?"

"Yes, it's a gift for you. It cost me ten million, and I even had your name engraved on it. I originally wanted to give it to you on your birthday, but now that someone else has touched it, it seems I'll have to find another gift."

Li Yanzhou seemed to be talking about something trivial, but Luo Tingwei listened from the side, her mind in turmoil.

Birthday?

Unexpectedly, he even remembered her birthday and prepared a gift for her.

She herself has become so engrossed in the passing of time that she has forgotten what year it is.

She sighed softly, her emotions becoming increasingly complex. Just as she was about to say something, there was a sudden knock on the door of the darkroom.

Aunt Wu said timidly at the door, "Young Master, as instructed by Assistant Mo, we searched every room in the villa and finally found the necklace in the maid Qingqiao's room."

“We’ve already checked the fingerprints. There’s only Bihe’s fingerprint on them, not Qingqiao’s. It seems that Bihe stole them and put them in Qingqiao’s room to frame her. I heard that the two of them don’t get along well… Young Master, what do you think we should do with Bihe?”

Annoyed, Li Yanzhou said impatiently, "You handle it."

"Then...what about the necklace?"

"I threw it away."

He doesn't want anything that's dirty.

"yes."

Feeling guilty, Wu Ma lowered her head and left quickly, not daring to stay even a second longer.

When Luo Tingwei heard that he was going to throw it away, she felt a strange sense of regret, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Back in the room, Luo Tingwei changed his dressing for the last time. The wound had almost healed, and the bandages could be completely removed in two more days.

Thinking that she had taken care of his injuries herself, her guilt lessened slightly.

Li Yanzhou enjoyed watching her quietly as she changed her dressings, savoring the movements she made.

Luo Tingwei always felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze.

Fortunately, this replacement shouldn't be needed again.

Li Yanzhou's gaze shifted from her to the window, then returned to her after a few seconds.

"Luo Tingwei".

He suddenly called her name.

"Um?"

She was focused on her work and responded absentmindedly.

"I can grant you one wish. Is there anything you want?"

"A wish?" She glanced at him. "A birthday present?"

"No." He smiled like a fox, resting his long fingers on his forehead as he pondered, "Just consider it a small tip because I'm very satisfied with how well you've taken care of me these past few days."

Luo Tingwei blurted out almost immediately, "Then let me..."

"Except for letting you go."

The man seemed to have anticipated this and interrupted her first.

"..."

Luo Tingwei thought he was shameless.

"Then when will you let my dad go?" she asked again, unwilling to give up.

Li Yanzhou yawned, looking as if he was afraid of her.

"My ancestors, is today good?"

After saying that, he instructed her, "Bring me the phone from my desk."

Luo Tingwei was taken aback, and went to get it for him.

Li Yanzhou dialed a number and got straight to the point: "Release him and have his men come pick him up."

Seeing Luo Tingwei looking at him with suspicion, Li Yanzhou said, "What, you don't believe me?"

"Come on, I'll take you to see it."

Li Yanzhou actually took her to the entrance of the sanatorium where Luo Shengtian was.

But they only allowed her to stay in the car and watch from a distance, forbidding her to get off.

After a while, five or six men dressed in black arrived at the entrance of the sanatorium.

Luo Tingwei recognized them; they were all her father's former subordinates.

A few minutes later, Luo Shengtian, wearing a mask and sitting in a wheelchair, appeared at the gate of the courtyard, pushed by a man in black.

"dad!"

When Luo Tingwei saw that familiar figure, she wanted to get out of the car, but the door was locked.

"Stay put."

Li Yanzhou warned her, his tone becoming more serious.

"Put me down! I need to see my dad!"

"What, trying to complain? I didn't agree to let you two meet."

Li Yanzhou remained indifferent. "All you need to know is that I've let him go. That's enough."

"Just a few minutes, okay? I want to say a few words to my dad."

She didn't care about anything else and pleaded with him earnestly.

When Li Yanzhou saw that her eyes were wet, his heart softened, and he turned half of his face away.

"Okay, then give me a kiss."

Luo Tingwei didn't care about anything else and naturally kissed him.

After the car door unlocked, she quickly got out and ran over.

Li Yanzhou wasn't afraid of her escaping, since he had people all around him and could catch her in no time.

The man rolled down the car window and lit a cigarette.

The smoke quickly blurred his face.

His long fingers tapped intermittently on the window frame.

"How pitiful."

He gazed at the scene of "filial piety and loving father" not far away, and couldn't help but sigh at those words.

Poor Luo Tingwei probably doesn't even know she has a half-brother.

After today, to the Luo family, she, the eldest daughter, will be nothing more than water spilled out.

Yes, he agreed to release Luo Shengtian, but that doesn't mean he can completely escape his control.

After all, he even knew the exact location of that illegitimate child.

Even if Luo Shengtian disregards his own safety, he has to consider his only son.

Sure enough, on the other side.

When Luo Tingwei ran up to her father and whispered in his ear, asking him to find a way to save her, Luo Shengtian, contrary to his usual behavior, told her to "be strong."

"Just get through this period."

"Dad will definitely find a way."

"You should be patient for now."

Several subordinates urged, "Boss, it's getting late, we should go."

Luo Shengtian nodded and withdrew his hand. "Weiwei, take care."

After saying that, the wheelchair was pushed away again.

Luo Shengtian did not look back.

Until he boarded the helicopter parked in the distance.

Soon, the plane took off.

Luo Tingwei stood in the wind, bewildered.

A strange emptiness and sorrow filled my heart.

Just then, a coat was suddenly draped over her shoulders.

She was taken aback, but then a deep, pleasant male voice came from behind her.

"Alright, let's go home, little princess."
