But when Luo Yujiao spoke of her plan, Luo Wenwen was stunned.
She had never expected that the biggest obstacle between her and Yang Feilong would be resolved so easily.
She was dazed, feeling as if a blessing had fallen from the sky, an unreal sensation.
"Call me sister, let me hear it," Luo Yujiao said with a light laugh, looking at Luo Wenwen.
"I, I can't say it," Luo Wenwen lowered her head, her face a picture of distress.
"Do you still remember when we first met?" Luo Yujiao chuckled. "Didn't you call me big sister then? Why can't you say it now?"
Luo Wenwen bit her lip. She was old enough to remember back then. She had tried to change how she addressed her, but it was difficult. Later, seeing Luo Yujiao beaten and bruised, yet protecting her from bullies and even cooking for her, she had called her "sister" for the first time out of deep emotion.
In her heart, Luo Yujiao had always held a dual role, like both a mother and a sister.
"Besides, you and I share the same surname. Isn't this a sign from heaven?" Luo Yujiao spoke again.
"I know, it's just..." Luo Wenwen hesitated, feeling an inexplicable awkwardness.
"You'll get used to it! Just like when you first changed your address, didn't you call me sister from time to time? After saying it more, you naturally got used to it. Now it's just the reverse. Just like you call Yang Feilong 'Dad', you've gotten used to that, haven't you?" Luo Yujiao said with a half-smile.
"I..." In a flash, Luo Wenwen's face turned red.
"Don't you want to be with Feilong?" Luo Yujiao asked, her eyes on Luo Wenwen, a smile on her face as she added more weight to her words.
"Sister?" Then, Luo Wenwen no longer hesitated. Biting her lip, she tentatively called out.
"See? You call it quite smoothly now," Luo Yujiao chuckled.
...
In the car.
"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Yang Qingqing, sitting in the passenger seat, tilted her head and looked at Yang Feilong.
"Company matters," Yang Feilong said without blinking.
"I don't believe you," Yang Qingqing chuckled. "Brother, do you know you have a flaw when you lie?"
"What flaw?" Yang Feilong steered with one hand and couldn't help but touch his nose. Was he so obvious when he lied? His sister had actually found it out.
"Because you lied, a little probing and it's revealed," Yang Qingqing giggled.
Yang Feilong looked at Yang Qingqing speechlessly. "You're really interesting."
Is it fun to probe me when you have nothing else to do?
"Oh, I just wanted to cheer you up, brother!" Yang Qingqing said with a grin.
"Have you decided where you want to go?" Yang Feilong asked.
"Not yet. But I think as long as you're with me, even just having a meal or walking around, I might be very happy!" Yang Qingqing rested her chin on the door handle with one hand, looking at Yang Feilong, while unconsciously running her fingers through her hair with the other.
Hearing his sister's seemingly ordinary words, which were filled with deep affection, Yang Feilong would have been lying if he said he felt nothing. He sighed softly.
Because even such simple requests could only be fulfilled occasionally.
"If you feel this isn't what you want, then..." Yang Feilong's words were interrupted before he could finish.
"Brother, don't feel guilty. This is my choice, and I don't blame you," Yang Qingqing said with a light smile. "And I hope you won't say disheartening things, okay?"
Yang Feilong nodded seriously. "Okay!"
Since Yang Qingqing didn't have a specific place in mind, Yang Feilong drove her to a mall near the company.
"You can wander around in the mall for now. I'll come find you after I'm done with my work," Yang Feilong said earnestly.
"Okay!" Yang Qingqing nodded obediently.
Parking the car by the roadside, Yang Qingqing took her small bag and waved goodbye to Yang Feilong. She watched his car disappear from sight, then turned towards the mall.
She was going back to school tomorrow, so it would be good to buy a few outfits!
...
Meanwhile, Yang Feilong drove to his company.
The reason he came was that he would be starting school again soon, and the batch of jade he had released earlier was almost depleted. He needed to release another batch. Indeed, a lot of the jade was stored in his spatial ring.
Therefore, he had to come in person this time.
After finishing this task, he went to his office.
"Mr. Yang, my birthday is in a couple of days. Could you possibly come?" Assistant Li Xiya asked tentatively after reporting her work.
"Your birthday?" Yang Feilong was taken aback. Inviting me to your birthday? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?
"I used to work for a multinational company and don't have many friends in China. If you don't come, my birthday party will be too lonely. Could you give me this opportunity?" Li Xiya looked at Yang Feilong with a pleading expression.
"Alright!" Yang Feilong thought for a moment and agreed. "I'll bring Ms. Li with me then. Is that okay?"
"Ah? Ms. Li is coming too?" Li Xiya's expression stiffened slightly. She gave a wry smile. "Um, I'll invite her personally then!"
"Mm," Yang Feilong nodded. "Alright, you can get back to work. Let me know if anything else comes up!"
With that, he picked up his bag and left the office.
Mainly, his sister was waiting.
Watching Yang Feilong leave, Li Xiya bit her lip. "There are many people willing to date me, both married and unmarried. And you, when I invite you, you want to bring along a burden? Do you value them so much that you're afraid they'll find out and misunderstand?"
She wouldn't invite Li Yufei, not for now at least. When Li Yufei was overwhelmingly busy, she would invite her, and she would definitely refuse then.
Yes, she couldn't let Yang Feilong agree to her attending his birthday banquet. Yang Feilong probably wouldn't tell her proactively, right? Probably not.
She wasn't sure about this!
For a moment, she fell into deep thought. This Yang Feilong didn't play by the rules at all, which made her doubt her own charm.
If it weren't for the fact that many successful men in their careers approached her when she was out, she would have truly believed she was no longer desirable.
Yang Feilong, naturally, was unaware of the rich thoughts swirling in Li Xiya's mind after he left.
Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't have paid it any mind.
His sister was leaving Blue Sea City tomorrow. Since he had promised to spend the day with her, he would put other matters aside for now, such as the invitations from Miya and Xiao Jingwen.
Yes, Miya and Xiao Jingwen were also about to start school.
They had both applied to Blue Sea University, a fact that Xiao Jingwen and Miya had told him.
