Chapter Forty-Four Seized
Lu Zheng had been sitting in a thinker's pose for about half an hour without moving, and seeing that his father showed no signs of leaving, Luo Ye was on the verge of tears.
The weather in July was originally hot and humid, she hid behind the almost airtight wardrobe, her clothes were already soaked through, sticky and clinging to her body, wanting to tear them off but couldn't, this feeling was simply terrible.
What's even more unbearable is the sweat on her face mixed with dust flowing down, forcing her to close her eyes from time to time to prevent them from being blinded by sweat. Even so, her eyes still feel a slight stinging sensation. Meow, she didn't check the Yellow Calendar well for tonight's action.
Suddenly, Luo Zheng let out a soft sigh, rubbed his temples and stood up, Luo Ye's heart secretly rejoiced, wow, the torture is finally going to end!
As a result, the next second, Luo Ye's little heart fell from heaven to hell. Her dad had actually turned on the air conditioner and didn't seem to be leaving anytime soon. It was probably around 3 am now, did her dad not plan on sleeping?
Oh my god! Why is she so unlucky?! The air conditioner is on, so she's not that hot anymore, but after a while her clothes are cool and sticky on her body, which is even more uncomfortable. Good grief, can't her dad think about the problem lying in bed? Why does he have to come to the study?!
Luo Zhenggang finally made a move, but... he walked towards the wardrobe where Luo Ye was hiding, Luo Ye held her breath nervously, and wondered if her dad was that vigilant?
The sound of the cabinet door opening was followed by Luo Ye finally putting down her held breath, and then getting excited again. Could it be that the information was placed in this cabinet? Now that she knew the location, it would be easier to say, she could continue her efforts another day.
Excitement didn't last long, suddenly reacted to her current situation, Luo Ye collapsed again, let her escape first! Ah! Ah!
In Luo Ye's sorrowful self-exclamations, Luo had just taken a stack of documents and sat back to study them carefully, occasionally sighing softly, finally revealing an angry expression as he threw them aside, holding his head and starting to ponder again.
"Dad, what do you want to do?!" Luo Ye silently roared in her heart. If she hadn't received training before, if she didn't have super strong willpower, and if she hadn't gone through this period of tempering, she would have fainted long ago. Meow, this is really not a humanly bearable suffering!
Hmph! I've made up my mind, from now on if anyone offends her, I'll punish them with this method!
"Ah...... Ah-choo!" The dust blown up by the air conditioner entered her nostrils, and Luo Ye's sneakers finally met a tragic end.
"What are you doing hiding here without sleep? Come out!" Luo Zheng didn't say "Who's there?" like in the usual TV shows, but instead silently rushed towards his target, shining his flashlight over.
"Dad...... hehe...... Dad...... hehe......" Luo Ye smiled awkwardly, rubbing her hands together, standing stiffly beside her old man, as obedient as can be.
Luo Zheng glared at his daughter and frowned: "Look at what you look like now? Go take a look in the mirror yourself!"
Luoye obediently went to the study room and stood in front of the floor mirror, meowing, she knew she didn't look good at all. The clothes on her body were gray and wet, sticking to her skin, her small face was black with sweat, and white streaks had been washed out by the sweat.
She wondered how her dad had recognized her just now. Even she herself didn't recognize herself, wearing a thick cotton sleepwear that wasn't very flattering. If her dad had seen her like this, it would have been embarrassing enough!
"Dad...... hehe...... hehe......" After admiring herself in the mirror, Luo Ye giggled and sidled up to her dad, no choice but to be caught red-handed, can't help but be a bit sly.
Luo Zhenggang's face was both angry and amused, he waved his hand: "Go take a shower first and then come over to tell me the details, don't think about making up excuses!"
"Thanks, Dad!" Luo Ye slipped away faster than a rabbit, and she regretted it to death. If only she had brought Tiao Tiao to stand guard for her, alas, she was too self-conceited after all.
Watching Luo Ye fleeing in disarray, Luo Zheng's lips curled up into a smile, and the gloomy mood that had been pent up earlier suddenly cleared up a bit. Originally, he had a great conversation with Song Fangzheng at night, plus the incident of Xiang Xiaohua getting scolded, his mood had almost recovered.
But after lying down, the things that happened during the day floated back into my mind and I couldn't sleep. Afraid of disturbing Wen Xin by turning over, I came to the study room, unexpectedly trapping this girl inside.
Although it's unclear why she came to the study in the middle of the night, based on his understanding of his daughter's recent behavior, he believed it wasn't out of curiosity or to cause trouble. Whatever, let's see how she explains herself.
"Dad, I'm back!" Luo Ye sat opposite Luo Zheng with a mixture of shyness and coquetry, her small face flushed and tender, her eyes cast down, her long eyelashes casting a charming shadow on her lower eyelid. Her hair was damp and tied up on top of her head, and her small body was wrapped in a large light blue cotton pajama, adding to her fragile beauty.
Luo Zhenggang gazed at his daughter sitting opposite him, feeling the joy of having a grown-up daughter for the first time. He didn't know how many boys would be attracted to her once she revealed her true self.
"Dad..." Luo Ye felt a bit embarrassed being sized up by his old man.
Luo Zhenggang smiled and said, "Go ahead, must I speak first?"
"Actually... actually, I just saw that Dad was in a bad mood when he came back today, and also... " Luo Ye looked seriously at Luo Zhengang: "Dad always told me and my brother before that our family's foundation is not stable, we can't afford to cause trouble."
Today, my brother and I were forced to take action, which also caused trouble. However, Dad didn't scold us. I felt particularly guilty, so I thought about understanding why Dad was unhappy and see if I could help him.
Luoye said with a glance at the materials in front of Luo Zheng, biting her teeth and pointing: "Dad, is this the reason why Dad is unhappy?"
Lu Zheng just stared at Lu Ye for a long time, seeing his daughter bravely staring back at him. He let out a soft sigh: "Ye'er, Dad's affairs are different from your mom's Wēn Xīn Yuàn, it's not something you can intervene in."
"You're now working hard and making progress, and also influencing your brother to change, Dad is really happy about it. However, Dad doesn't want you to become arrogant and think that everything can be solved by you alone, understand?"
"Dad... I... " Luo Ye hesitated for a moment: "I'm not being arrogant, I know what I'm doing. Can you trust me like last time and let me help with mom's situation? Give me the chance to help you, Dad?"
Knowing that this request would probably not be accepted by her father, Luo Ye still wanted to give it a try. If she could get her father's support now, her journey of protecting the family would be much smoother. However, tonight also taught her a lesson - she couldn't be too arrogant in the future and must ensure that her equipment was complete and that sentries were never lacking.
"It's too late, Ye'er go back to your room and sleep!"
As expected, Luo Zheng had just issued an order to expel the guests.
