C5 They Didn't Live Happily

Cao Lanruo walked up to him. In her heart, it was a lie to say that she was not disappointed, "Dad, it's Saturday today. There's no class."

"Oh." After Cao's father said that, he went back to his research.

Cao Lanruo looked around and took a transparent glass bottle from a small table. She gently opened the lid and placed the thin white powder in the bottle on her palm. She passed it to her ear and smelled it. She then waved her hand and lifted the powder into the air.

Immediately, the entire secret chamber was shrouded in smoke. Cao's father adjusted his glasses and frowned as he looked up. Then, he angrily said to Cao Lanruo, "You child, you only know how to make trouble for me!"

Cao Lanruo turned around and smiled gently, "Dad, Little Ruo has never caused trouble in front of you since she was young. Only you have caused trouble for Little Ruo."

When Cao's father heard this, he put down the glass bottle in his hand and asked seriously with a bit of anger, "I am your father. When has a father ever caused trouble for his daughter?"

Cao Lanruo was not surprised and lightly replied, "Indeed. In father's heart, medicine is always more important than my mother and me. It is so important that father is about to fade out of our lives and make me and mother not happy. Does this not count as you causing trouble?"

Cao's father seemed to have never thought that Cao Lanruo would say such words. The anger that followed rushed to his heart and there was still a trace of apology. He stepped forward and slapped Cao Lanruo's face. In an instant, the clear five fingers on her fair and smooth little face gradually turned red.

"Cao family has been a doctor for generations, and has never stopped since ancient times. Why did I give birth to a child who doesn't know anything?"

Cao Lanruo only smiled. Then what about mother? Don't you feel guilty for mother? Compared to the medical family that needs to be passed down, Cao family, Is it more important to you than to your family?"

After Cao Lanruo finished speaking, she left the secret room alone. Cao's father was left alone in a daze.

After returning to the room, she took out a photo. In the yellowed photo, there was a woman with delicate features standing behind a handsome man with a smile like a flower.

Cao Lanruo's slender fingers traced the woman's face. That's right. Yes, it would be great if her mother was still in this world.

For such a beautiful woman, there would definitely be tens of thousands of men under the pomegranate dress. At that time, there would be no need for a man who was obsessed with medicine. He could have a better choice and choose a happier life.

When Cao Lanruo thought about what had just happened, she felt more and more lamentable. Why did the heavens have to do this to her and torture her like this?

If the destined fate had to let her experience this kind of life, Well, how nice it would be to let Mom have a little more good memories in her life.

This night, Cao Lanruo slept very early.

The woman in the photo who was as gentle as a flower gently came to the bed and reached out to touch Cao Lanruo's forehead. Cao Lanruo woke up from her dream and looked at the beautiful woman beside the bed with a silly smile, "Mom, you're back?"

"Little Ruo, do you want Mommy?" The woman opened her mouth and looked at the little person on the bed with extreme pain.

Cao Lanruo nodded fiercely, "I really want to. Where did my mother go? Why don't you come back to see me after so long?"

When the woman heard that, there was a faint smile at the corner of her eyes. Her pretty face was twinkling under the dim light. She said softly, "Mom has been very busy recently. She is so busy that she has no time to take care of her own life. Naturally, she can't take care of Little Ruo."

Cao Lanruo immediately forgave her mother after hearing that. She looked up at the dark room and asked curiously, "Why did mother come at this time? Even the taxi driver has gotten off work at this time. How did mother go home?"

The woman's smile was like the warm light of spring. She looked at Cao Lanruo, "Of course mother came back by plane, but mother is leaving. It's too late. Little Ruo, you have to take care of yourself, understand?"

As she spoke, the woman appeared by the door like a charming spirit. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared. Cao Lanruo panicked. She didn't have time to hug her mother. She didn't have time to ask many things about her mother. It was too late...

Cao Lanruo closed her eyes tightly. Her curled eyebrows were stained with tears. Cao's father's eyes were dim. He looked at Cao Lanruo who was sleeping on the bed. His heart could not bear it and his trembling hands caressed Cao Lanruo's face.

He knew that this daughter of his hated her deeply, but how could he not want to explain? It was just that the more he explained, the more he feared that life would be complicated and that she would not be happy.

Behind him, he turned off the lights on the bedside lamp. He did not turn off the power. He knew that if there was no light at night, he would have nightmares, and he would not be able to sleep well.

Cao's father got up and looked at the sleeping woman with a layer of sweat on his forehead. His heart ached especially, as if he had seen his former wife.

The clock on the wall kept ticking. Cao's father gently closed the door and walked into the secret room.

To the four families, it was lifeless, especially a mayfly floating on the sea. No one knew why it existed, or even what it meant.
