C14 The Misconception of Affection

The knock on the door interrupted Pei's mother's words. She thought it was Zhang Chen who had come, so she asked Pei Luoluo to open the door. This morning, she specially instructed Pei Luoluo to bring Master home for dinner. She wanted to thank him for taking care of Luo Luo.

But she did not expect that the person who had come was actually Zhao Haoxun!

"Why are you here?" Pei Luoluo opened the door and was stunned for a moment. She politely turned around and let Zhao Haoxun enter the room.

Zhao Haoxun shrugged and said quietly, "I miss you, so I came."

Pei Luoluo was speechless when she heard this. She looked at her mother walking over and did not know what to say. She took the big and small bags from his hands and walked to the kitchen.

"Aunt Su, you came without saying hello. I'm sorry, I really miss the food you made. I didn't expect Luo Luo to come back."

This pretense was very good. Su Li was overjoyed when she heard it. She called Pei Luoluo to bring tea and water, and she started to chat with Zhao Haoxun.

There was no need to guess the content. In the past, she was asking him whether he was married or not, as well as his family situation. Now, she was directly asking when he and Pei Luoluo were going to get married.

"Mom! How many times have I told you? Zhao Haoxun and I are just ordinary friends! You are always like this, and you still make him not come in the future?"

Pei Luoluo was speaking from the bottom of her heart. It was not the first time that she had urged her mother to get married. Every time she came back, she would receive such treatment. It was convenient for Pei's father to hope that she would let nature take its course. Otherwise, he would not look for her. If he wanted to look, he would find a suitable one. If he gave in to her, it would not be good for his family to follow him.

However, Pei's mother insisted that the older the girl, the harder it would be for her to marry. In the end, it would not be good for her to choose one.

Now, she had met Zhao Haoxun, who had a good family background and was also good-looking. A good temper was key to being good to Pei Luoluo! From top to bottom, everything was good. How could Pei's mother bear to let such a rich son-in-law fall into someone else's bowl? She naturally wanted to find a way to matchmake her daughter.

"Aunt Su, my relationship with Luo Luo hasn't reached that stage yet. But I have no objections. I will see when Luo Luo is willing to marry me."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Just as the meal was about to be finished, Zhao Haoxun's words made Pei Luoluo choke so much that she almost spat out the entire mouthful of rice. She tilted her head and glared at Zhao Haoxun, but the other party pretended not to see and continued to speak to Pei's mother.

"Luo Luo has never officially accepted me. Maybe there are still many things we need to get used to. Aunt Su, don't worry. I have a very special relationship with Luo Luo." As he spoke, Zhao Haoxun gave Pei Luoluo a meaningful look. However, Pei Luoluo was obviously unhappy that she was suppressing the fire. He also tactfully changed the topic and started to chat with Pei's mother about family affairs.

Pei Luoluo was so helpless that she did not have any appetite for the meal. She did not have the mood to listen to her mother talking nonsense with Zhao Haoxun. After she finished her meal, she said that she wanted to investigate Uncle Lee's case and told them to use her to go back to the bedroom first.

When she came out, Zhao Haoxun was in the kitchen helping Pei's mother wash the dishes. Seeing her come out, Pei's mother wanted to nag again but Pei Luoluo immediately ran into the kitchen to work with Zhao Haoxun. Only then did Pei's mother give up and pull Pei's father out for a walk.

"Your parents still go out for a walk every night?"

"Yes, I'm used to it. I won't change anything."

He looked up at the sky. The autumn night had come very early. It was only six o'clock when it was almost dark.

"Uh, why is Master not here?"

She turned around and looked at the few dishes on the table. Pei Luoluo then realized that her mother only cared about Zhao Haoxun and even agreed to wait. Zhang Chen even forgot to eat.

At this time, if he came, would he eat the leftovers?

"What? Didn't Zhang Chen tell you?"

"What did he say?" Pei Luoluo walked to the sofa with a puzzled expression.

"He said he had to go back to the city in advance. You should wait here for the news. He will probably come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Pei Luoluo wanted to ask him how he knew, but she thought about it. Last night, they sat at the same table, although they did not talk much. But the way they talked shouldn't be hard to judge their relationship. There was nothing to doubt about Zhao Haoxun's words.

Even so, Pei Luoluo still called Zhang Chen to confirm it. Secondly, she wanted to see if there was anything else that needed to be done for Lee Hui's case.

In the end, Zhang Chen's answer was the same as what Zhao Haoxun had said. This time, Pei Luoluo felt a little embarrassed, but fortunately, this call was made after Zhao Haoxun left. It somewhat made up for the little guilt in her heart.

After Su Li came back, she did not see Zhao Haoxun. She asked Pei Luoluo, "Where is Little Zhao?"

"He's home." Hearing Pei Luoluo's tone, it was obvious that she was relaxed.

Pei's mother was a little unhappy. She said, "You're not young anymore. You do a good job. When it comes to personal problems, you either run away or don't look for them. Last year, I arranged a blind date for you. Didn't you say that you had a boyfriend and left because of anger? It's just that when it comes to critical moments, you drop the ball. Not once did you properly talk to your dad about a partner to save me and my worries!"

Seeing that her mother was really a little angry, Pei Luoluo closed the notebook and rubbed her temples. She organized her thoughts and tried to make the atmosphere as not too bad as possible. "Mom, it's not that I don't want to find it, but I know what I want! If you insist on pulling me together with someone, even if I get married as you wish. Can I be happy? Can you bear to see me frown all day? Besides, I am not the same person as Zhao Haoxun. Every time you come, you pull me together with him. In the end, you won't be able to do well. Aren't you indirectly making things difficult for others?"

"Pei Luoluo! Why do you always have to be so serious with your mother when it comes to personal matters? As a parent, do you not know what kind of person is suitable for your child? "

At this point, Pei Luoluo gave a pleading look to her father, who had been silent from beginning to end. Pei's father patted Pei's mother's left shoulder and said with a smile, "Lili, the matters of the children are up to them to decide. What we want is not what they want, even if we know who is the most suitable for us, Luo Luo. But if she does not like it, then her life in the future will not be easy. Alright, alright, let's be at ease when we meet. "

Pei Luoluo, who was at the side, nodded her head with all her might, and tears even streamed down her face. When Pei's mother saw that her daughter was crying, she could only give up. However, she was still unwilling to give up and let Pei Luoluo think about it again. After this village, there would not be such a store anymore.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Pei Luoluo was busy in her bedroom and was about to go to bed when she saw Pei's father coming in with a cup of coffee.

"Dad?" Pei Luoluo called softly. She took the coffee and turned around to sit face to face with Pei's father.

"Luo Luo, I didn't mean to come here today. I just want to hear what you really think."

... ""

"I know that you don't accept Little Zhao not because you don't like him, but because you have someone you like, right? Dad is an experienced man. You seem to have overreacted when your mom asked you that question today."
