"Leave it to me, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."
Only after Sun Bailing made a guarantee was he able to successfully take Liu Jingqiu away from right under Luo Shicheng's nose.
Liu Jingqiu had always been fearless in Luo Shicheng's presence, and couldn't understand why Luo Shicheng had suddenly changed. Several times when she passed by Luo Shicheng, she wanted to ask for help, but she choked when she met Luo Shicheng's bloodshot eyes.
Luo Shicheng watched Sun Bailing and Liu Jingqiu get into the car, then turned and walked back with Luo Yan in his arms.
Luo Yan was a little frightened by Luo Shicheng's state, and nestled quietly in his arms.
Luo Shicheng walked home in silence and took out his key to open the door.
Hearing the noise, Wu Cuihua quickly opened the door, carrying a basket and pretending to go out. She immediately saw Luo Shicheng carrying Luo Yan back with a dark face, and her eyes widened in surprise.
"It's great that Luo Yan wasn't sent away. We must put the marriage arrangement for our children on the agenda immediately," Wu Cuihua thought to herself, smiling as she greeted Luo Shicheng.
"Battalion Commander Luo, where's your wife?"
Luo Shicheng didn't want to say a word, not even glance at him. He opened the door, went in, and then closed it tightly behind him.
Having been rebuffed, Wu Cuihua pouted, went back inside, closed the door, tossed the basket aside, and grumbled as she went into the house.
Hua Li didn't wake up until it was almost dark, and the first thing she did was go to see Luo Yan.
Luo Yan was watching TV with Xiao Xiu in the living room.
From 6:00 PM to 6:30 PM, there will be children's programs, including cartoons. Today's program is "Havoc in the Art Studio".
This animation, drawn frame by frame by hand, captivated Luo Yan's attention.
Xiao Xiu was also captivated by the sight, holding Luo Yan's small hand in hers. The two of them sat side by side on the sofa, looking as beautiful as a painting.
When Luo Shicheng returned from buying food at the cafeteria, he saw Hua Li leaning against the wall, gazing lovingly at the two little ones on the sofa. The warm yellow light bathed her face and body, creating a beauty that words could not describe.
Hearing the door open, Hua Li looked over and met Luo Shicheng's gaze, then immediately turned her head away indifferently.
Luo Shicheng knew that he was a prisoner sentenced to death in front of Hua Li and had no right to make any defense. He silently carried his lunchbox to the dining table.
Luo Shicheng placed the lunchbox on the dining table and opened it. He went into the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks, then called Hua Li and the two children to come and eat. He then went back to the guest room and closed the door.
When Luo Shicheng brought Hua Li back, he set a rule: as long as he was home, he would cook, do housework, and take care of the children, as long as Hua Li ate well and didn't get angry with him.
Hua Li certainly wouldn't risk her health for anger. She would eat the food Luo Shicheng prepared, but she was dreaming if she thought she could get forgiveness through belated compensation.
After the cartoon ended, Xiao Xiu took Luo Yan's little hand and sat down at the dining table. The two children and the adult ate their meal attentively, and no one thought of inviting Luo Shicheng to join them.
After dinner, Hua Li took Luo Yan and Xiao Xiu out for a walk. As soon as they stepped outside, they ran into Wu Cuihua, who was full of gossip.
"Hey, Luo Yan's mother, have you found that man yet?"
Hua Li said calmly, "The child's father went to the sugar factory to look for him. He didn't say what happened, and I didn't ask. If you want to know, sister-in-law, go ask the child's father."
Wu Cuihua is a warm-hearted person, but she is also the biggest gossip in the compound. If she hears about something happening in someone's home, she can spread the word to everyone.
That's why, whether it was the man with yellow teeth delivering the letter to her or Liu Jingqiu saying that the man with yellow teeth had a birthmark on the back of his neck, she would rather be misunderstood by Luo Shicheng than confront Wu Cuihua.
Even if she had ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare to ask the living Yama. Wu Cuihua chuckled twice and glanced at Xiao Xiu, who was following Hua Li, and found him very annoying.
"Why hasn't this child been sent away yet?"
Food is so precious, it would be such a waste to give it away to other people's children. Wu Cuihua felt heartbroken just thinking about it.
"Oh dear, you can't even raise your own child properly, yet you're raising someone else's. Don't you find it tiring?"
Wu Cuihua had helped her after all, and Hua Li didn't want things to get too tense. "Sister-in-law, I'm taking the kids for a walk, so I won't talk to you anymore."
"Hey, don't go..." Wu Cuihua said, "I still have something to tell you."
What could Wu Cuihua possibly want from her? Hua Li nodded, "Sister-in-law, please tell me."
Wu Cuihua tried her best to get closer to him, saying, "As the saying goes, a close neighbor is worse than a distant relative. Besides, my husband and your Battalion Commander Luo get along very well. So, I was thinking, why don't we arrange a marriage between our two families and betroth your Luo Yan to my third son?"
Luo Yan?
Good heavens, this Wu Cuihua is ugly but has a beautiful mind. With that black donkey dung in her family, let alone her, even the stupid girl from the Qian family wouldn't agree. How could she say it?
Luo Yan's face tightened, and she reached out her little hand to Xiao Xiu, "Brother, brother..."
She has a beautiful little Xiu, she wouldn't want that ugly old Mo Laosan, you'd better stop dreaming.
Wu Cuihua rolled her eyes at the unnecessary short rest, and wanted to have a detailed talk with Hua Li, but was interrupted by Luo Shicheng who came out of the door.
With a stern face, Luo Shicheng took Luo Yan from Hua Li's arms, coldly told her to lock the door, and then walked away with Luo Yan in his arms.
Luo Shicheng's imposing manner was so intimidating that Wu Cuihua lost all interest in bothering Hua Li and shut her mouth to gossip among the gossips in the compound.
Hua Li locked the door and followed Luo Shicheng with Xiao Xiu.
Luo Shicheng deliberately slowed down, waiting for Hua Li to catch up, and then gave Hua Li a cool warning.
"Yanyan is still young and doesn't need any arranged marriages. Stop trying to matchmake Yanyan."
Hua Li laughed in anger, "Which ear of yours heard me say I agreed? I never saw you care about Yan Yan much before, but now you're pretending to be such a devoted mother."
Mom is really going all out on criticizing that scumbag dad right now, great job!
Luo Yan clapped, leaving Luo Shicheng both amused and exasperated.
"You're so happy when your mom scolds your dad?"
Luo Yan, unable to understand, simply clapped.
And you're clapping, you little rascal.
Hua Li reached out for Luo Yan, and Luo Shicheng had no choice but to hand her over.
Falling into Hua Lixiang's soft embrace, Luo Yan kicked her little legs happily, her joy visibly evident, while Luo Shicheng, who longed to be close to his daughter, was frustrated.
Walking from the compound to the riverbank, and then back from the riverbank, Luo Shicheng would take a short nap to satisfy his craving for Luo Yan since he couldn't hold her.
Xiao Xiu really didn't want Luo Shicheng to hug him, but he wasn't as strong as Luo Shicheng, so he had no choice but to endure it.
"Shicheng..." Liu Jingqiu suddenly appeared and cried out for Luo Shicheng.
Luo Shicheng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. "How dare you call me Shicheng?"
"I'm sorry, Comrade Luo Shicheng..."
Liu Jingqiu immediately apologized, looking at Hua Li with pleading eyes.
"Could I speak with Comrade Luo Shicheng alone?"
Xiao Xiu took the initiative to get down from Luo Shicheng's arms, grabbed the hem of Hua Li's shirt with her little hand, and walked away with Hua Li.
Luo Shicheng stepped forward and stopped Hua Li, "She told you to leave, so you just leave? What kind of person do you take me for?"
Luo Yan covered her face. With a father like that, even the King of Heaven couldn't save him. She was tired. Let it all end.
