Chapter 43 Why Can't You Just Listen?



Ye Xiaotian squinted, trying hard to recall.

"I've actually forgotten the band's name. Don't worry, you'll see them at the end of the month anyway, you can ask her in person."

"Okay, I'm busy now."

Ye Xiaotian left the room.

Su Luo put away her skirt and continued working.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The phone screen on the corner of the table lit up.

Su Luo glanced at the screen and saw a new message on WeChat.

Pick up the phone, swipe your finger to unlock the screen, and tap to enter the screen.

Nami: "Lolo, are you free next Saturday? I want to do a boudoir photoshoot."

Su Luo was somewhat excited, feeling as if the reward of 100,000 yuan was beckoning to him.

She quickly replied, "Yes! (*?▽?*)."

Nami-nee: "See you on Saturday! ?(°?‵?′??)"

Su Luo stared at the ?(°?‵?′??) emoticon sent by Ozawa Nami, slightly stunned.

Huh?

Why send him this emoji?

Does that mean you want to kiss him?

Su Luo shook her head. Impossible. She should already be married. Maybe she pressed the wrong button.

After calming myself down, I uttered two words: "Okay!"

After being busy for a while, I was so sleepy that I could barely keep my eyes open. I didn't get home until after 2 a.m. last night, and then I got up very early, so I didn't get any sleep at all.

Su Luo stood up, left the office, and prepared to go out to wash her face and refresh herself.

I followed the corridor to the restroom.

Turn on the tap.

Cold water streamed down, and Su Luo scooped up a handful to wash her face.

Noisy sounds came from the cubicle behind me.

"Please give me another chance."

"I'll listen to you from now on. Please, don't hang up. I didn't mean to bother you."

"I just miss you so much, I really miss you so much..."

Su Luo turned off the tap and continued listening.

He recognized the voice all too well; it belonged to Zhang Ming.

He couldn't hear the voice on the other end, but just from Zhang Ming's words, he could tell that this guy had probably been dumped and was humbly begging for forgiveness.

Did he have a falling out with his boss?

That's great news! No wonder he's been so well-behaved these past few days; he got dumped.

Su Luo wiped her face with a tissue, then turned and left the bathroom.

This kid's attitude when begging was so humble it was like dirt; he had no self-respect whatsoever, and there was nothing nice about it.

He was afraid that if he listened any longer, he would burst out laughing.

Inside the cubicle.

Zhang Ming was rejected by Ozawa Nami once again, and hung up the phone in frustration.

He took deep drags on his cigarette, exhaling thick smoke.

Ugh, so damn annoying!

Lately, everything has been going wrong; it feels like Mercury is in retrograde.

Not only was he dumped by Ozawa Nami, but he also failed to slash Su Luo's face and wasted his 100,000 yuan deposit.

Fortunately, the bald man didn't betray him, otherwise he would have really gone to jail this time.

He never expected that Song Lingshan would suddenly appear and save Su Luo.

Unexpectedly, this effeminate man not only seduced Ozawa Nami, but also got on Song Lingshan's good side.

Damn, this is really annoying.

But with that incident so recent, he didn't dare to make any big moves against Su Luo.

He felt he still had a chance, after all, Ozawa Nami and Su Luo had only known each other for a short time, but they had been together for three months.

The day's work is over.

Su Luo rushed home immediately, carrying a lot of groceries, preparing to treat her daughter to a better meal that evening.

But they froze the moment they opened the door.

Four of his favorite dishes were laid out on the table, steaming hot, and his daughter, wearing a large apron, stood on the stove serving soup.

While touched, Su Luo was also worried, so she quickly put down her things and went into the kitchen.

"Nini, why are you cooking?"

As she spoke, she snatched the porcelain bowl from her daughter's hand.

What if you get injured?

Su Jianni is only twelve years old, there is no need for her to learn to cook so early, he felt that the kitchen was too dangerous for her.

What should you do if you accidentally cut your hand while chopping vegetables?

What should I do if I get burned by hot oil?

To avoid these accidents, he insisted on cooking for himself and wouldn't let Su Jiani touch the food.

Su Jiani immediately put her hands behind her back.

"I won't get hurt. I'm not that stupid."

Su Luo placed the soup on the table, then came over and took Su Jiani's hand. He had clearly seen her little gesture of turning her back.

Su Jiani took two steps back, her hand shrinking even more.

"Let's eat."

She just wanted to help her dad with the housework. After all, her dad worked so hard, and she wasn't a child anymore; she should do something for him.

Su Luo's face darkened, and he said seriously, "Stretch out your hand, let me see."

Su Jianni pouted, "I'm fine, I won't show you."

Su Luo's face grew even uglier. "Listen to me!"

Seeing that her father was on the verge of losing his temper, Su Jianni reluctantly and slowly extended her hand.

Several bandages were applied to her fair and tender little hands, and a large red patch appeared on the area between her thumb and forefinger, resembling a burn.

Su Luo stared at Su Jiani's wound, her eyes stinging slightly, and her breathing becoming heavier.

Seeing this, Su Jianni hurriedly explained.

"That knife was too fast, I didn't handle it well. I won't get hurt next time. It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore, Dad, please don't be angry, okay?"

Su Luo stared at Su Jiani with red eyes, somewhat agitated.

"Are you stupid? I didn't ask you to cook, why didn't you wait for me to come back?"

"Didn't I tell you that if you're really hungry, you can eat some snacks to tide you over? Why can't you just listen to me?"

"Do you know that I promised your dad I would take good care of you?"

"You're injured, how am I supposed to explain this to your father?"

How am I supposed to explain this to your father if you get injured?

Su Jianni completely ignored Su Luo's first two sentences and focused all her attention on the last sentence.

How am I supposed to explain this to your father if you get injured?

Could it be that Su Luo is being so kind to her only because of a promise he made to his father?

Wasn't there any reason on her part?

Su Jiani stood frozen in place, overwhelmed by a huge sense of loss. Her face turned pale, and her eyes gradually lost focus.

Seeing that her daughter was acting strangely, Su Luo immediately changed her tune, trying to be as gentle as possible.

"Nini, I didn't mean to be mean to you. I'm just trying to reason with you."

“You’re still young. I really don’t need you to do anything for me. All you need to do is go to school every day and grow up happily.”

Su Luo reached out and instinctively reached out to pat Su Jiani's head.

Su Jianni took a step back and dodged, raising her head blankly and staring at Su Luo in a trembling voice.

"Are you being so nice to me because you're keeping a promise you made to Dad?"

Upon hearing this, Su Luo was stunned.

He never imagined that Su Jiani would ask him such a tricky question.
