Chapter 521 Crisis Situation The evening breeze rustled the willow branches, and the silence between the three people was like cotton soaked in cold water, so heavy that it made people breathless.
Gu Feng's fingers holding the cigarette trembled slightly. He opened his mouth several times to speak, but swallowed the words back.
There are so many questions I want to ask, but I don’t know where to start. I can only look at the two hands tightly held in front of me, with complicated feelings in my eyes.
The spark on the cigarette butt burned down to a small piece. He subconsciously took out another one and lit it. The flame danced on his fingertips, and the smoke slowly rose, blurring the wrinkles between his brows.
Gu Luo had calmed down by now, and gently patted the back of Luo Shuning's hand with his fingertips. The force was not strong, but it had a reassuring power.
He turned to look at her, his eyes firm:
"It's okay, I'm here."
The voice was like a magic needle that stabilized the sea, and it fell into Luo Shuning's heart.
Luo Shuning raised his eyes to look at Gu Luo, and saw that there was no sign of retreat in his eyes. His tense shoulders slowly relaxed, he took a deep breath, nodded vigorously, and his voice was soft but very firm:
"We'll face this together."
Gu Feng watched this scene in silence, took a deep puff of his cigarette, and when the smoke overflowed from the corner of his mouth, he suddenly curled the corners of his lips helplessly, with a self-deprecating smile: "My dear, my initial guess was not wrong."
He crushed the cigarette butt, the spark extinguished on the cobblestone road. "I felt something was amiss between you two a long time ago, especially during the school anniversary period. Later, when Shu He said she was in a relationship with you, I suppressed my suspicions and didn't think about it any further."
Having said this, he took another deep puff of his cigarette. When the cigarette was almost finished, he threw the butt on the ground and rolled over it repeatedly with the sole of his shoe, as if he wanted to crush all the irritability in his heart.
Gu Luo did not argue, but slowly nodded in acknowledgment.
The relationship between the two did indeed begin to develop rapidly after the school anniversary.
Nowadays, lying has no meaning. Being honest is more worthy of everyone.
He held Luo Shuning's hand tighter, and the warmth of her palm from his fingertips gave him more confidence.
"Okay, you're still a man. You didn't run away from the battle. Otherwise, I wouldn't even recognize you as my son."
Gu Feng breathed a sigh of relief, with a subtle hint of approval in his tone. He walked over to the bench and sat down, then asked softly:
"Now, tell me, what are your plans?"
Hearing this question, Gu Luo and Luo Shuning looked at each other, and saw unwavering determination in each other's eyes.
Gu Luo took her hand and stood up, leaning forward slightly. He looked directly at Gu Feng and spoke slowly, "I won't give up on Shu Ning and Shu He. They don't want to be separated from me either."
Every word was spoken with great force, without any hesitation, and he was ready to face anything.
The expression on Gu Feng's face froze instantly. On the surface, he seemed neither happy nor sad, but his heart felt like a huge rock was thrown into it, causing huge waves.
He subconsciously frowned, pressing his fingertips between his eyebrows, and his voice was as deep as if a stone was pressing down on him:
"Impossible. Aliang will never agree to this. If you insist on doing this, it will be very serious later. Once she makes up her mind, even ten oxen can't pull her back."
He knew Luo Liang too well. As a mother, she would never allow her two children to be entangled with the same person.
Gu Luo was about to say "We know..." when she saw Luo Shuning suddenly take a step forward, straighten her body, and bend deeply towards Gu Feng, bowing at a ninety-degree angle. The loose hair in front of her forehead fell, covering her eyebrows and eyes.
Her voice was trembling, but very sincere:
"Dad, please help us."
The word "Dad" was like a soft needle that instantly pierced Gu Feng's soft spot.
This was the thing he hated the most in his life. Luo Shuhe had relied on this intimacy to quickly win his love. Now that Luo Shuning called him like this, he immediately lost his temper, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Gu Feng rubbed his swollen brows, his face full of embarrassment - on one side were his three children whom he loved dearly, and on the other side was his beloved whom he cherished like a treasure. No matter which side he chose, someone would get hurt.
He suddenly remembered that he was worried that Gu Luo would delay Gu Ximan, and now he felt that his vision was too narrow - this kid was not delaying at all, he was clearly so bold that he wanted to take advantage of the two sisters of the Luo family.
Fortunately, Shu Ling was not dragged into the water.
Otherwise, Aliang would definitely go crazy.
The evening breeze picked up again, causing the hem of his coat to sway gently. Gu Feng looked at Luo Shuning, who was still bent over, and sighed, his voice full of helplessness:
"Shu Ning, get up first. I need to think about this carefully...don't get your hopes up."
...... ......
After hearing what Gu Feng said, Luo Shuning slowly stood up and took a deep breath. The rise and fall of her chest finally calmed down, and her originally tense shoulders also relaxed quietly.
