Mrs. Hou left with the Hou family members, Beisitian sat in the middle of the living room, while Luo Yirui sat silently on the other side. He wanted to go, but he understood his mother’s concerns.
Luo Yirui struggled internally about whether to fight for it, but he knew his mother’s temper. Interrupting her while she was thinking might ruin everything; she hadn’t even settled accounts with him about yesterday’s events yet. Even though he had good reasons at the time, in his family, no matter how clever the demon was, the way was always ten steps ahead.
The saying, "The Monkey King can never escape the Buddha’s palm," probably conveys this meaning.
Beisitian remained silent, and Luo Yirui didn’t dare to speak either. He could only sigh, wishing that once he grew up, he could make his own decisions.
At this moment, Wei Zhongxun returned, and with him was You Hong’an. Luo Yirui knew he would have to go back to his room; there were some things he wasn’t supposed to know yet.
"Little Rui, stay here."
Luo Yirui was about to stand up when he heard his mother’s voice, so he sat back down.
As You Hong’an walked in, he gave Luo Yirui a glance that made his hair stand on end. More than that, it evoked a sense of familiarity.
This familiar feeling flashed by so quickly that Luo Yirui didn’t have time to ponder why, as he saw You Hong’an already seated.
Internally, he felt a bit defiant. Other than his father, nobody had ever made him feel that way. This person named You Hong’an must be from the Zou Lu School, with such a sharp gaze!
A gaze is different from an expression; it can’t be faked. So, this person called You Hong’an must have some real skills. No wonder mom showed an interest in collaborating with him.
Luo Yirui perked up, convinced that his mother made him stay for something related to You Hong’an.
"Mrs. Hou came."
Then, Beisitian recounted the recent events.
Luo Yirui watched his mom surprisingly reveal everything to You Hong’an without holding back, wondering how You Hong’an won his mother’s complete trust.
It wasn’t his first time accompanying his mom out, and he knew well his mom always left some reservation when speaking, never completely open. So why was this time different?
After listening to Beisitian, You Hong’an nodded and asked, "What are your plans?"
Beisitian took a deep breath and said, "It depends on you."
After a brief pause, You Hong’an replied, "There shouldn’t be any problem. Although we haven’t fully mastered it yet, the defenses are almost set. We just can’t find a breakthrough point, and there’s no reason to break through."
Upon hearing this, Beisitian was somewhat dissatisfied, but she knew that when he said ’there shouldn’t be any problem,’ it essentially meant it was fine. There might be many changes, and adjustments would depend on the situation, so he couldn’t guarantee Luo Yirui’s complete safety.
You Hong’an is actually Luo Xudong, the father personally responsible for his son’s safety, putting in all his effort. In this regard, Beisitian didn’t have to worry.
Listening to them speaking in riddles, Luo Yirui didn’t understand much of it, yet it evoked a strange, familiar sensation. He couldn’t help but look at Wei Zhongxun, who only lowered his eyes in silence, showing no expression.
"Little Rui," Beisitian began, "I know you want to go, and this time, mom agrees to let you, but there are a few conditions you must promise mom, and you must fulfill them!"
