Chapter 9 Apology
Looking back now, Ling Zhuoqun did indeed think about her. He was open-minded enough to think so, but this era was not yet open to that extent.

If a girl is already married and her husband breaks off the engagement, it will be difficult for her to get married again.

After Ling Zhuoqun finished cleaning up, he found two papers on the coffee table with Ling Xiaoguang's name on them. A hint of tenderness appeared in Ling Zhuoqun's eyes.

The orphan left behind by his sister is very outstanding.

Ling Zhuoqun took out two one-dollar bills from his pocket and placed them on Ling Xiaoguang's paper.

It was so late, Ling Zhuoqun did not disturb the two brothers to rest. He took a shower and planned to rest in a guest room for the night.

Lying on the bed, Ling Zhuoqun didn't know why, but he kept thinking of Li Luo's aggrieved look in his mind. He must have really hurt her heart. How could he make her happy?

Ling Zhuoqun thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, but every time his sister was unhappy, she always liked to go shopping for clothes and do her hair. I guess all girls would be happy like this, right?
But he doesn't have that much time to accompany Li Luo shopping, so just give him money.

Thinking of this, Ling Zhuoqun felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off his chest, and he fell asleep all of a sudden.

When I woke up and opened the door, I smelled the fragrance of food.

Li Luo was sitting in the dining room with Yaya sitting on his lap. Li Luo was feeding Yaya.

Ling Zhuoqun didn’t see Yaya yesterday, but when he saw her this morning, he saw that Yaya was very fair and clean, with two pigtails on her head. She looked playful and well-behaved.

Li Luo had her hair tied up in a gentle bun with a strand of hair on the left. From Ling Zhuoqun's direction, she looked like she was living a peaceful life.

Maybe she is really a good stepmother.

With a thought in mind, Ling Zhuoqun walked downstairs.

"Are you awake? Go and get some food, I can't leave here." Li Luo heard the footsteps and knew it was Ling Zhuoqun. Without turning back, he spoke directly.

Ling Zhuoqun nodded, then realized that Li Luo couldn't see him, and laughed softly, "Okay."

Hearing the laughter behind him, Li Luo was a little confused for a moment. Turning around, he saw Ling Zhuoqun's blue stubble revealed, which added some charm of a mature man.

It seems that there is no hangover headache, so the ginger soup must have worked.

Ling Zhuoqun served the meal and sat in the main seat. Ling Xiaoguang and Ling Xiaolei also looked well-behaved.

Ling Zhuoqun touched the brothers' heads and said tenderly, "I saw your brother's test paper. He scored 100 points. That's great."

Ling Xiaolei also wanted to be praised, but he was just in kindergarten and hadn't taken any exams yet, so he just wanted to take credit for it: "My brother and I washed the dishes together yesterday!"

Ling Zhuoqun smiled and said, "Xiao Mao is great too!"

Ling Xiaolei felt that receiving Ling Zhuoqun's praise was sweeter than drinking honey. The originally serious Ling Xiaoguang also blushed at Ling Zhuoqun's praise.

Li Luo looked at the interaction between the three people at the dinner table. The atmosphere was very serious. They were clearly having a meal, but it felt more like a conversation with a leader.

"Don't just stand there, eat quickly. This pancake has been baked for a while. It won't taste good if it gets cold." Li Luo helped Yaya finish her meal and put her in the cart before he could eat himself.

Hearing Li Luo's urging, the three of them stopped wasting time and quickly ate the cakes and porridge, and left the washing of the bowl to Ling Zhuoqun.

The two brothers also packed two biscuits and milk into their bags respectively. Only then did Li Luo realize that Da Mao and Xiao Mao would not come back for lunch because the way to school was too far and they had to walk five miles to get to school.

Since time is tight at noon, I might as well bring my lunch to school.

Ling Zhuoqun washed the dishes, came out and tidied himself up, then came to Li Luo and said, "I'm going to go to the room to get a piece of clothing to change." Li Luo nodded. Ling Zhuoqun's clothes were still in the closet, and she didn't move any of them. Someone gave her the room, so she couldn't just not let him take even his clothes.

Ling Zhuoqun walked upstairs and opened the closet. He saw Li Luo's colorful clothes, which were clearly distinguished from his own clothes. His clothes were always in black, white and gray.

Ling Zhuoqun carefully searched for the clothes he wanted to wear, but accidentally touched a piece of lace fabric. He looked closely and found that what he was holding was actually a girl's...

He quickly put it away, Ling Zhuoqun's ears turned red again. He found a black suit and put it on, but he didn't wear a tie. It was not that he didn't want to, but he... didn't know how to.

Li Luo looked at Ling Zhuoqun, who was holding a tie in his hand in a daze, with a blush on his face. She wondered, could it be that he didn't know how to tie a tie?

Li Luo went upstairs, took the tie from Ling Zhuoqun's hand, and tied the bow tie in a short while. While tying it, he also taught Ling Zhuoqun.

"Look, wrap the tie around like this, then pass the strap through this hole and tighten it..."

Li Luo didn't expect that her pull not only failed to move Ling Zhuoqun, but her body suddenly became unstable and she almost fell into Ling Zhuoqun's arms.

"Ahem." Li Luo quickly took a step back and lowered his head: "The tie is tied."

Before Ling Zhuoqun could say anything, she fled away.

Ling Zhuoqun touched his tied tie. It wasn't this hot even when he didn't wear a tie on weekdays! Could it be because the weather was getting hotter?
Thinking of something, Ling Zhuoqun suddenly said, "Stop."

"Is there anything else?" Li Luo stopped and looked up at Ling Zhuoqun.

A word suddenly appeared in Ling Zhuoqun's mind: cute.

Realizing that he was distracted, Ling Zhuoqun quickly retracted his gaze, took out a few bills from his pocket, and handed them to Li Luo.

"Yesterday was my fault. Take this money... and buy some nice clothes."

The hands of the two touched when Ling Zhuoqun gave the money. Ling Zhuoqun felt Li Luo's body temperature and pulled his hand back as if he was electrocuted.

Li Luo was also stunned. What kind of rural boss literature was this? He stuffed money into someone's pocket when they disagreed with him? But who would complain about having too much money in their pocket? Boss Ling gave it to her, so she took it.

"We are all family, why should we be polite?" Although Li Luo said this, he was not slow in collecting the money. "But since you apologized sincerely, I can't just ignore your face."

Ling Zhuoqun curled the corners of his mouth, but he did not ignore the smile that was almost uncontrollable on Li Luo's lips.

Sure enough, he was an expert at making girls happy. Moreover, this Miss Li Luo was completely different from the Miss Li Luo in his profile.

He looked at his watch and it was getting late, so Ling Zhuoqun hurriedly picked up his briefcase and left.

After Ling Zhuoqun left, Li Luo finally saw the money in her hand, which was another five hundred yuan.

It only took one day for Ling Zhuoqun to give her one thousand yuan.

Li Luo was not only curious, but also wondered how much money Ling Zhuoqun had. This kind of people are always ruthless, simple and rude when trying to coax people.

But Ling Zhuoqun was right. The family needed to buy some new clothes, but not for her, but for Yaya, Damao and Ermao.

"After the two brothers have rested, I will take them to the market to buy clothes." Li Luo made up his mind and put the money carefully in his pocket.
