Chapter 164 Explanation
Li Luo heard Ling Zhuoqun's whisper: "You should take good care of your childhood sweetheart. It's me who is holding you back and making it impossible for you to show your affection to girls."
"Luoluo, what are you talking about? In all these years, I have only been attracted to you. What childhood sweetheart? I have always been chaste."
Ling Zhuoqun felt aggrieved. If he was really attracted to someone else, he would not have told her that he had been sterilized.
This is such an embarrassing thing for a man. He said it openly just to make those women give up. If they are not sincere about the three children in his family, a large number of people will naturally be screened out because of this condition.
But Li Luo not only did not despise herself for having a sterilization, she also did not despise the fact that she was married. In fact, under her upbringing, her three children all became healthier, and even Yaya spoke much more fluently than before.
In comparison, I, as a father, feel somewhat incompetent.
So now he basically doesn't stay in his office all night long to save trouble. Instead, he spends time with his family whenever he has time and enjoys family happiness.
When he was with Li Luo, he realized that having his own little family was such a happy thing, so he made a quick decision and wanted to marry Li Luo.
"Then why did Xin Lu say that you promised her family that you would take good care of her? Was it also a lie that you grew up together?"
"That's true, but I just had a good relationship with Xin Lu's brother, and Xin Lu's brother died of illness. Xin Lu and her brother have been dependent on each other since childhood, so Xin Cheng entrusted his sister to me."
"But in my opinion, Xin Lu is the same as my sister Xiao Lin. I don't have any romantic feelings for her. She was determined to run away before. I gave all the money I had kept for Xin Cheng to Xin Lu."
"After that, I heard from Xiaolin that she got married in another place. After that, I had no contact with her at all. The so-called statement that I would take care of her for the rest of her life was even more nonsense."
"If I take care of Xin Lu for the rest of her life, then what does Xin Lu need her husband for? Besides, I have someone I want to protect now, so Xin Lu has nothing to do with the person I want to protect."
"And I avoided all of Xin Lu's little moves. I will never let Xin Lu enter our house again. Are you satisfied with this?"
Ling Zhuoqun finished a long string of words in one breath without taking a breath, hoping that Li Luo could see his determination.
Li Luo had always felt insecure, and when Ling Zhuoqun explained, she had already believed him. However, the sudden appearance of Xin Lu still made her feel a little uncomfortable.
She had not been involved in Ling Zhuoqun's previous life, so she was not clear about Ling Zhuoqun's previous interpersonal relationships, but now she was sure that Ling Zhuoqun had decided that there would only be one woman by his side in the future.
Moreover, Ling Zhuoqun's actions also proved that Ling Zhuoqun was a man of integrity, which was completely different from the men in Wanlong Village and people like Gao Yuliang.
"Okay, I don't mean to blame you, I just care too much about you. We just got married and a childhood sweetheart suddenly appeared. I don't know if there will be a confidante or a savior in the future."
The more Li Luo spoke, the quieter her voice became. At this moment, she looked like a woman who had fallen into a vinegar jar. Ling Zhuoqun immediately sealed Li Luo's mouth and swallowed all of Li Luo's remaining words until the air in their chests became less and less and they could hardly breathe.
"Isn't my feeling for you clear enough?" Ling Zhuoqun stared at Li Luo with burning eyes. He looked at Li Luo's lips, which became swollen and shiny because of the kiss. They looked like a ripe cherry, sweet and delicious.
"Luoluo, we have already obtained the marriage certificate, so we are legally married." Ling Zhuoqun's voice was hoarse when he said this, and he held Li Luo's hand to his chest, as if the tender hand in his hand would slip away if he wasn't careful.
Faced with Ling Zhuoqun's blatant provocation, Li Luo felt as if he had been electrocuted. A strange feeling ran from the back of his neck all the way down from his spine to the soles of his feet, just like a cat scratch.
However, when thinking of Ling Zhuoqun's hidden illness, Li Luo's eyes suddenly became clear.
"I...I also want to make pig's trotter soup!"
Before Ling Zhuoqun could react, he quickly put the blanched pig's trotters into the pot and simmered them slowly over medium-low heat until they became soft.
It’s a pity that I don’t have a pressure cooker at home, otherwise the pig’s trotters would be ready to eat after just ten minutes of pressure cooking. Now I can only stew it for another half an hour and then add soybeans and simmer it slowly.
Seeing Li Luo avoiding him, Ling Zhuoqun couldn't help but feel melancholy. It was obvious that the little girl had been a little confused before, but what did she suddenly think of? She suddenly became sober.
Then look at Li Luo's hesitant and dodging appearance, as if he is looking at his own body? So he is being rejected by the little girl?
Ling Zhuoqun felt a little depressed for a moment. It seemed that he should find some time to discuss the meaning and philosophy of life with the little girl...
But he is not in a hurry now. The little girl is not ready yet and he can wait.
When the day comes for their wedding, he will be able to truly own her openly.
Thinking of this, Ling Zhuoqun suddenly recalled the scene when he was with Li Luo when it thundered. Li Luo curled up into a small ball on such a small bed, and he didn't dare to wake Yaya up. He felt so distressed just looking at him.
"By the way, I heard you say before that Grandpa Lin Er wants to make a bed for us. When will it be ready?" Ling Zhuoqun's words were not meant to urge him, but if he wanted to make a bed, shouldn't he come to measure the dimensions first?
But until now, no one has come to measure the size of the house. If the bed can't fit into the house, wouldn't it be a waste of wood?
It is not the case that Ling Zhuoqun was stingy with money, but adhering to the principle of thrift, he kindly reminded Li Luo, fearing that Li Luo would be cheated by the so-called Second Grandpa Lin.
"I don't know why, there is still no movement. I will go to Anhe Village to urge them some other day. We have already paid the deposit. If the bed is not suitable, we will not be happy." Li Luo was also worried about this matter.
"Then I will go with you to conduct an on-site investigation. This pear wood is very easy to fake. Different materials have very different prices." When talking about making beds, Li Luo became talkative again.
She is completely different from the little white rabbit who was hesitating and blushing before.
When Li Luo and Ling Zhuoqun came out of the kitchen together, Li Luo was still wondering: "Huh? Where's Brother Chen? Didn't you say you wanted to keep Brother Chen at home for lunch? Why is he gone now?"
