Chapter 191: Chapter 191 I will take responsibility for her

"You and Ruoxi have already been intimate as a couple, don’t tell me you plan to be a scumbag and not take responsibility?"

Lin Songbai’s words truly shocked Su Luo, who looked at him in surprise, then at Lin Ruoxi—did Lin Ruoxi tell the old man?

Caught off guard, Lin Ruoxi also looked embarrassed and doubtful. How could Grandpa know about this?

"Old Lin, this..." Su Luo began.

Lin Songbai forcefully interrupted him, "What, you still want to deny it?"

At this moment, he seemed like a domineering grandfather seeking justice for his granddaughter, not the amiable elder he had been before.

"No, I’ll take responsibility!" Su Luo said with a bitter smile.

"Grandpa, what are you doing?" Lin Ruoxi finally snapped out of it. She hurriedly hung up the phone and withdrew her hand, looking angrily at Lin Songbai.

Lin Songbai smiled and said, "Ruoxi girl, I’m just afraid he’ll eat his fill and run off, refusing to acknowledge you. I’m helping you get justice. Since he admits it and is willing to take responsibility, then Grandpa will personally prepare for you, and we’ll quickly set the engagement."

"Who said I want him to take responsibility?" Lin Ruoxi’s voice was somewhat cold, but she did not deny that she had been intimate with Su Luo.

"I... am willing to take responsibility!" After a moment of silence, Su Luo spoke.

Lin Ruoxi gave Su Luo a sideways glance, her tone slightly cold, "What about Rose?"

"Rose, she..." Su Luo blurted out, but hesitated instantly. If he were to reveal his and Rose’s relationship entirely, wouldn’t it expose his relationship with Aunt Shen?

After all, last time, Su Luo mistakenly thought Lin Ruoxi was Aunt Shen and got handsy with her, taking all the advantages, and in the end, it was Rose who took the fall. If Lin Ruoxi found out that his relationship with Rose was just a pretense, she would certainly suspect the incident that had happened before.

"We’ve already broken up!" Su Luo could only say so.

"Scumbag!" Lin Ruoxi gave Su Luo a cold look.

Su Luo: "..."

He had no choice but to blame his past recklessness—that scumbag label, he had to shoulder it. Naturally, Su Luo also felt a bit scummy, wanting every woman he set his eyes on—Aunt Shen, Lin Ruoxi, Xia Yi—all of them.

No, that’s not being scummy, that’s universal love!

Loving each one sincerely!

Su Luo thus consoled himself!

Lin Songbai spoke timely, "Ruoxi, didn’t you just say he’s a good man?"

Lin Ruoxi responded indifferently, "Him being a scumbag doesn’t conflict with him being a good person!"

Su Luo: "..."

"Grandpa, I’m off to work!" Lin Ruoxi turned around and left without even greeting Su Luo.

Lin Songbai chuckled. After Lin Ruoxi had left, he then patted Su Luo on the shoulder, "I can see Ruoxi doesn’t hate you as much as before, try harder!"

Then, Lin Songbai’s tone changed sharply, "But if you really dare to pull up your pants and walk away, this old man will give his last breath for Ruoxi’s justice."

Su Luo smiled bitterly, yet he also promised, "Don’t worry, I will definitely take responsibility for her."

Lin Songbai was greatly relieved.

However, looking at Lin Songbai’s smiling face, Su Luo felt it was full of schemes, as if... the old man had seized an opportunity to deliberately reveal the matter between him and Lin Ruoxi.

"This cunning old fox!" Su Luo complained in his heart; yet, it wasn’t meant as an insult, more an amused helplessness.

But upon further consideration, perhaps Lin Songbai bringing this issue out into the open was a good thing, as it prevented Lin Ruoxi from avoiding it and gave him a better chance to win over Lin Ruoxi.

Only...

Shortly after.

Su Luo’s expression turned bitter again.

It seemed... Lin Ruoxi was on the phone with Aunt Shen just now, right?

Doesn’t that mean... Aunt Shen likely heard what Old Master Lin said?

In other words... Aunt Shen might now be aware that he and Lin Ruoxi had also slept together?

"Will Aunt Shen be angry?"

Su Luo couldn’t imagine what Aunt Shen’s attitude would be after learning about the matter; he could only hope that it wouldn’t affect the relationship between him and Aunt Shen.

But, was that possible?

Su Luo felt a headache coming on—he was overwhelmed!

Forget it.

He decided to have breakfast first, then go and see Xia Yi and daughter. He would deal with other matters later.

After eating a big bowl of noodles, Su Luo got up and went upstairs. Outside Xia Yi’s room, he could already hear noises inside.

Xia Yi and Nian Nian were already awake.

Su Luo gently knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Xia Yi’s voice came from inside the room.

"It’s me, Su Luo!" Su Luo said.

Soon, the door opened and there stood Xia Yi, already dressed. Upon seeing Su Luo, her face showed an excitement she couldn’t hide, "Su Luo, it’s so good that you’re okay."

After the excitement came guilt, "If something had happened to you because of me and Nian Nian, I would never forgive myself in this lifetime."

Su Luo entered the room and shook his head, "Sister Yi, actually, it’s me who has dragged you into this. They wanted to target me, and that’s why they kidnapped you and Nian Nian. If anyone should be apologizing and feeling remorse, it’s me."

Truthfully, when Su Luo learned that Xia Yi and Nian Nian had been kidnapped, he was angry, but also afraid.

He didn’t dare to imagine if Xia Yi and Nian Nian had suffered irreparable harm because of him, how he would be able to bear it.

And just then, a voice cut through the atmosphere between Su Luo and Xia Yi.

With her babyish voice, Nian Nian asked from the bed, "Daddy, why do you call Mommy Sister Yi? You should call her ’dear’ or ’wife’...?"

Upon hearing Nian Nian’s voice, Su Luo quickly looked over.

Nian Nian was already awake, and Xia Yi had dressed her, leaving only the shoes to be put on.

Su Luo hurried over and picked Nian Nian up.

It seemed Nian Nian hadn’t retained any psychological shadow from the kidnapping; at the moment, she was just full of curiosity and pressed, "Daddy, why don’t you answer me? Why do you call Mommy Sister Yi?"

Xia Yi quickly explained, "Nian Nian, actually, between husband and wife, there are many terms of endearment. You can call each other ’dear’, or ’husband’ and ’wife’, and even use each other’s names. Calling Daddy by his name and Daddy calling me Sister Yi is all very normal."

Nian Nian’s eyes, as black as gemstones, blinked, clearly not quite understanding.

Su Luo immediately went over and hugged Xia Yi tightly, "Why explain so much when Nian Nian doesn’t understand? Just use ’husband’ and ’wife’, or ’dear’. Isn’t that right, wife?"

After speaking, Su Luo gave Xia Yi a look, signaling her not to slip up.

Xia Yi hadn’t expected Su Luo to be so bold as to wrap his arms around her waist, calling her wife so directly.

Her body tensed slightly.

"Y-Yes, that’s right!" she responded, a faint blush emerging uncontrollably on her cheeks.

"Mommy, you’re cheating! Daddy called you wife, and you didn’t call Daddy husband. Don’t you love Daddy?" Nian Nian’s focus was peculiar, or rather she felt insecure about this and feared losing her father again, subconsciously clinging to these terms of endearment.

Xia Yi’s face changed slightly.

Unexpectedly, Su Luo also played along with Nian Nian, putting on a hurt face and saying, "Yeah, Daddy called Mommy ’wife’, and Mommy didn’t call Daddy ’husband’. That really makes Daddy sad."

Then.

Su Luo and Nian Nian both looked at Xia Yi.

Xia Yi glared at Su Luo, not expecting him to act this way, but facing Nian Nian’s gaze and worried about arousing her suspicions, Xia Yi grew even more flustered and her face reddened further.

Ultimately, she convinced herself and whispered softly, "Hus... husband!"

After speaking, she quickly turned her face away, not daring to meet Su Luo’s eyes. Her cheeks were fiery red.
