The servant looked at Luo Zhan in astonishment.
When he received the old sir’s order to to invite them up, he was prepared to see Luo Zhan put him in a difficult position and walk away, leaving him to clean up the mess himself.
He didn’t expect that the most difficult youngest master of the Luo family would have his personality turned 180 tonight, actually agreeing to do so.
The servant confirmed incredulously, “Young master, did you just say you got it?”
Luo Zhan lifted his eyelids and looked at him coldly.
When the servant got his “answer”, he suppressed the doubts in his heart and showed a relieved smile: “Then young master and Miss Tang wait here. I’ll go and invite the little young miss to come over.”
“……”
Luo Zhan frowned, glancing to the side.
It turned out that Tang Luoqian had already walked beside him during their conversation.
Tang Luoqian had just walked over. Hearing the servant’s words, the blushing smile on her face went a little slack. Finally reacting, she looked over in disbelief, “That little blin-…. Tang Ran also has to go up with us?”
“The old sir ordered so.” The servant replied.
“….” Tang Luoqian bit her lips, some resentment and hate flitting through her eyes.
But the servant had already said that it was old mister Luo’s wish. Luo Zhan was also standing beside her, so even if she wanted to show her young miss’s temper again, she could only bear it.
After the servant found where Tang Ran was and went over, Tang Luoqian hesitated then turned to Luo Zhan.
She curved her lips into what she thought was her most pleasing smile, keeping her voice deliberately soft: “Luo Zhan, I heard that your throat isn’t too comfortable today, do you want me to-“
Before she finished her words, Luo Zhan raised his eyes, seeming like he was reminded of something.
He ignored Tang Luoqian, turning around to walk back to the sofa he came from. Leaning down, he pulled out a thin flat object from the crack.
All the people at the banquet were originally staring at this young master’s actions. When they saw his sudden movement, everyone’s eyes followed over curiously.
When they saw what the object in Luo Zhan’s hand was, they were stunned speechless—
It was a notepad with a pile of white paper and also a pen.
A nearby young man asked curiously, “Young master Luo, what’s this….?”
Luo Zhan lazily lowered his eyes, held the notepad with one hand, bit open the cap of the pen, and wrote down a line of words.
[Sore throat, inconvenient to speak.]
The young man was dumbfounded, “Although I heard your servants say it earlier, but just now….. wasn’t it still fine?”
Luo Zhan drooped his eyelids, continued to write and finished writing, lazily revealing: [Random flare ups.]
Crowd: “…………”
The random flare ups had great timing.
And at this time, in the corner of the terrace, Tang Ran was lying against the armrest of the sofa, lightly rubbing her stomach while humming to himself “Insects Flying”.
Until the footsteps of the servant walking over pulled her attention away. Judging that the other party seemed to be coming towards herself, Tang Ran straightened up and carefully felt for the blind cane next to the armrest.
“Miss Tang Ran?” The servant asked.
Tang Ran nodded uneasily, “That’s me.”
“Our family’s old sir asks you and eldest miss Tang to accompany the young master to the study upstairs.”
“Old sir? Wants me to go up there too?” Tang Ran asked unexpectedly.
She had an impression after hearing of this great elder of the Luo family, but hadn’t crossed paths with the other party, so she didn’t understand why he wanted to see her.
The servant said, “The old sir specifically instructed that the young master should take Miss Tang Ran up with him.”
Tang Ran hesitated and asked softly, “Young master…. is Luo Zhan?”
The servant froze, “Right.”
“Okay.”
Quiet for a few seconds, the girl slowly got up from the sofa, holding her blind cane and gently testing the unfamiliar area in front of her.
Then she tilted her face in the direction where the servant’s voice came from, “Trouble you to lead the way.”
“Of course. Please follow me, Miss Tang.”
“……”
Tang Luoqian stood at the entrance of the terrace, watching the servant of the Luo family lead the little girl with a blind cane come by slowly. Her already ugly look became even more gloomy.
After freezing in place for a few seconds, Tang Luoqian gritted her teeth in resentment and turned to Luo Zhan, who had never looked at her from beginning to the end.
“Luo Zhan, she’s too slow, I don’t want to wait for her. You… are you going upstairs?”
Luo Zhan was leaning against the low wall of the terrace, his pad already placed into his pants pocket, staring lazily at the corner of the terrace.
The girl walking with the blind cane was coming over at a slow pace. The dress she wore today looked particularly complementary in this half bright, half dark lighting. Her waist, outlined by the skirt, was slender. The hemline revealed half of her snow-white calf that, in the dim light, appeared as beautiful as jade.
She was probably a little nervous. As the girl came closer, the more Luo Zhan could see her slender white fingers clutching the blind cane. Her fair, slightly pointy jaw was half taut along her neckline, her light-colored lips were a bit of brilliant red when pursed.
Probably because it was the “first time” she was meeting the young master of the Luo family, who was rumored to be cold and bad-tempered, even the tips of her hair looked tense.
Luo Zhan lowered his eyes and smiled.
After being ignored over and over again, Tang Luoqian’s young miss temper finally couldn’t be suppressed.
She stomped her foot in annoyance, “Luo Zhan!”
Luo Zhan finally had a reaction.
The smile disappeared. He coldly raised his eyes, his dark eyes looked to Tang Luoqian with no emotion.
Tang Luoqian’s heart began to tremble after being stared at by those pitch-black eyes, somewhat wanting to retreat. But she could see out of the corner of her eye that Tang Ran had slowly walked not far in front of them. She could only grit her teeth and hold on, “I’m talking to you, what’re you looking at other people for?”
“……”
A couple of meters away, Tang Ran hesitantly came to a halt.
She could hear that it was Tang Luoqian’s voice, but she was just a little surprised: in all the years she had known this sister in the Tang family, it was the first time she had heard such a stifled and sullen tone from this eldest miss.
It seemed that she was talking to the young master of the Luo family?
Remembering that bad-tempered young master who also liked pretty eyes was right by her side, and Tang Ran clutched the blind cane in her hand a little tighter.
Tang Luoqian clenched her teeth, her smile a bit forced, “Ah, do you not want to go up with her? Tang Ran can’t see anything. If you mind, should we go first?”
“……”
Tang Ran nervously gripped her blind cane.
Luo Zhan lightly narrowed his eyes.
After knowing each other for a few days, it was the first time he’d seen the little girl in such a defensive state that she had to put up all the thorns in her body like a hedgehog—it was obviously directed towards him, but the more he looked at it, the more amused he felt.
It was just that beside them was an additional noisy…..
Luo Zhan frowned, thought about it, then brought out the notepad. He wrote a line of calligraphy on it, and then lifted it in front Tang Luoqian’s eyes—
[Your younger sister’s really pretty.]
“!?”
Tang Luoqian’s face went white.
She raised her eyes and saw the teenager holding the notepad, smiling coldly and lazily.
Tang Luoqian only felt she was terribly humiliated. She turned her head in anger and went for the stairway without saying a word.
The servant was stunned, “Young master, what’s wrong with Miss Tang?” He subconsciously wanted to see what Luo Zhan had actually written.
Luo Zhan sneered wordlessly. He reached out and covered it, ripped off the top page of white paper and crumpled it into a ball then stuffed it into his pants pocket.
[Let’s go.]
He wrote down these last two words, indicating to the servant to lead the girl to follow him up.
The servant could only nod.
But just after taking two steps, the pair of long legs in front of him stopped and turned back to the terrace.
A few seconds later, the servant was dumbfoundedly watching their young master returning with a tray with a silver dessert spoon and a few pastries.
As he couldn’t write with one hand, Luo Zhan didn’t bother to explain that it was for a little girl who was so hungry that she got a stomachache. He glanced at the girl with her eyes closed as the servants stared in shock, then walked calmly to the front with the tray.
Tang Ran didn’t know what was happening and just stood in place, not knowing what to do.
Only after a long time did she hear the servant speak with difficulty, “Let’s go too, Miss Tang.”
“….. Okay.”
Tang Ran nodded blankly.
Buy me a kofi for faster releases.
The song she was humming was a song from a movie. Pretty well-known according to Baidu. I can’t verify that myself since I only know three songs by title in Mandarin (coincidentally all learned from Chinese school).
Has anyone noticed that my quotations go the wrong way sometimes? Is it really annoying? They attach to the tabbed space before them so they turn the other way. It takes some effort to fix it & I don’t wanna go back through and correct them if it doesn’t bother anyone :P
