Son, “Mom” Will Back You

Chapter 83

Zhuo Yixuan took a step up and was about to unleash but remembered her friends' advice before her angry words left her lips. She took a deep breath and swallowed her spoiled brat's temper.

She said, "It's okay that you don't like me right now. You won't fall for anyone anyway. I got time. We can take our time to get to know each other – let it be our family background, our physical appearances, our abilities and how well we know each other, you will not be able to find a better match than me anyway."

Zhuo Yixuan paused for a little and studied Luo Xiu's look. "I even pay Old Mr. Luo a visit this time. But don't worry, I did not divulge that you are with the production team. We just chitchatted – he is happy with me as well. I trust that you will take your elder's opinion into consideration?"

Luo Xiu hadn't given her much reaction up all long but turned to look at her after the last thing that she said.

"The elder's… opinion?"

There was a light and distant sarcasm in his smile.

"I'm afraid I am going to have to disappoint you. That was not part of the Luo family's education. What they desire or not will not affect me one bit."

Zhuo Yixuan gritted her teeth and even her pretty makeup seemed a bit distorted. "You can't not return to the Luo family forever!"

"… …"

Luo Xiu gave her a light smile. He couldn't even be bothered to make fun of her. He stood up, done with being engaged with Zhuo Yixuan.

Seeing that Luo Xiu was about to leave, Zhuo Yixuan softened her voice. She ran up to Luo Xiu and said, "Alright, alright. I won't fight with you anymore. – Tomorrow is your birthday. I know you won't be returning to the Luo's for your birthday. What say I celebrate your birthday with you?"

As she talked, Zhuo Yixuan reached over to touch Luo Xiu on his arm.

Luo Xiu rotated his body some and avoided her hand. Then, looking down, his smile distance, "You know me?"

"Of course. Nobody knows me better than you."

"Then all the more you should know that I never celebrate my birthday."

"… …"

Zhuo Yixuan's face changed colors a little. "I think you just don't like the Luo family and celebrating your birthday there."

"Well, now you know. That is not the case," said Luo Xiu nonchalantly.

He turned headed out.

He was about to reach the door when Zhuo Yixuan recollected herself and ran after him again, "Luo…"

Knock. Knock.

Came a knocking sound.

"Mr. Luo Xiu, I am coming in."

The door was pushed open.

Gu Nian's hand that was still on top of the door handle paused. She looked at Luo Xiu, who was standing some 2 meters from her, at loss. "Huh, Mr. Luo Xiu. Why are you standing here?"

She finally noticed Zhuo Yixuan after she had finished asking her question.

After remaining silence for a few seconds, Gu Nian narrowed her eyes alarmingly –

Zhuo Yixuan had come looking for Luo Xiu the first thing after she returned to the production team. Clearly, she has not yet given up suggesting favors from her precious son!

… She would never let her have her ways!

Luo Xiu lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him who had launched into full-on alert mode in a second or less. A very light smile crossed his eyes.

Zhuo Yixuan, too, recollected herself at this point. "Why are you here bothering Luo Xiu again? He isn't someone that you are goo…"

"Miss Gu." Luo Xiu interrupted her casually, his voice tender. "Are you looking for me? What is it?"

"… …"

Gu Nian snapped out of her alarm mode and had a rare hesitation on her face when she turned to look at Luo Xiu. "You want me to say it right here?"

Luo Xiu paused and narrowed his eyes some.

Zhuo Yixuan was still unhappy from being interrupted. Hearing that, she smiled in contempt and said, "What? You think there's anything between you and Luo Xiu that I am not privy to?"

Gu Nian remained expressionless. Not looking at Zhuo Yixuan at all, she said, "I only dislike having some rude people who'd interrupt when I talk is all."

"?!" Now Zhuo Yixuan was annoyed. "Who are you calling rude?"

"Whoever that's annoyed right now."

"You!"
