Chapter 359 Lu Lou's heartbeat suddenly quickened
Tong Fei: "Even if it's just a show, you have no choice but to continue doing it now. Your father has already believed it. By the way, does Carol's father still not know that you are just putting on an act?"
Lu Lou: "How can we let him know? We absolutely cannot let him know it's fake, otherwise Carol's life will be over. Mom, you have to keep your mouth shut and don't tell Duke William about this!"
Lu Lou was still worried. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Jinghai also has a hot spring resort. Why do we have to go to Country M to soak in it? Don't go there. Just soak in China. Mom, please don't contact Duke William anymore."
Tong Fei was secretly delighted, but her face was filled with worry. "But your father is still negotiating with your in-laws. Your wedding must go ahead, otherwise Duke William will get suspicious sooner or later. Son, your father is not in good health. You can't go up to him and tell him this is fake!"
"...I know. I won't." Lu Lou cherished his parents so much that he had never considered explaining it to his father. It was only because his mother was in good health that he explained it so clearly.
Tong Fei took advantage of her son's kind nature to pull this trick. Seeing her son obedient, she was very satisfied and tentatively said, "How about you really marry Luo'er? The girl came to Jinghai because of you, and no one can guarantee that this fake marriage won't cause her father to get suspicious."
Lu Lou: "Duke William doesn't care about Carol at all. He won't find out."
Tong Fei: "What about your dad? What if you don't marry Carol and your dad finds out?"
After saying this, Tong Fei's eyes slowly turned red.
Lu Lou quickly tried to coax his mother, "Then just pretend to be a couple in front of him. Alas, you've already informed everyone about my marriage so thoroughly, what else can I do?"
Tong Fei: "You can make your fake play with Luo'er real. Son, Luo'er is so beautiful. I remember when you were little and I took you to pray for blessings, you said shamelessly in front of the Buddha that you would marry a fairy when you grow up. You said you would marry a fairy. Luo'er looks like a fairy."
Listening to his mother's description, Lu Lou recalled the scene when he first saw Carol as a child. It was indeed like seeing a melancholy little fairy.
"Son, you've had many of the same habits as your cousin since you were little. If you didn't like Carol, would you be willing to let her live with you? You have so many female friends, and I've never heard the nanny say you've brought them home to spend the night."
"...They all have their own houses, why would they stay over at my place?"
"You could have put Carol up in a hotel, or at least bought her a house that same day, but you didn't. You took her straight back to your private residence! You treat Carol very differently than you treat your female friends."
"This is because I owe Carol. She helped me a lot. She is not familiar with Jinghai and has no friends here. It would be lonely for her to live here alone. And I am not asking her to live here forever. I asked my secretary to take her to see a house. She has already found one and is just waiting for it to be decorated." For some reason, when Lu Lou heard his mother analyze that he treated Carol differently from his other female friends, his heart beat faster and his breathing became a little disordered.
Tong Fei narrowed her eyes. "She was looking for a house, and you asked your secretary to take her to see it? Could it be that you also paid for the house?"
"Yeah, it's just the money for a house. I have it." Lu Lou said confidently, and the guilty feeling finally disappeared.
Tong Fei sneered, staring at her son with a sharp gaze. "So you're so generous, huh? Why don't you buy houses for your other female friends? Oh no, let's not talk about your female friends, just your cousins Shang Zi and Shang Yu. I haven't seen you rushing to buy houses for them."
"Mom, it's not what you think!" Lu Lou interrupted his mother irritably.
Tong Fei knew when to advance and retreat. "Okay, okay, I'm overthinking it. Don't be angry. Since you don't like Carol, let me tell you this. I have a plan that kills three birds with one stone. It will allow your father to recover from his illness in peace, it will allow Carol to escape from her father's hands, and it will also prevent your father from blaming you."
