Chapter 371: I Hope You Stay Single All Your Life

Anya heard footsteps following her and deliberately slowed down.

Then, she walked out at turtle speed.

Qin Ming continued to walk behind her.

The two of them had just left for a while when Qin Ming started to answer his subordinate’s report and gave an order from time to time.

Anya was displeased. She stopped and turned to glare at him. She ordered, “Before I walk back to my villa, don’t make a sound!”

Qin Ming glanced at her as if she was being unreasonable.

Annoyed, she walked up to him and said angrily, “You knocked into me. Shouldn’t you be responsible for me during this period of time? Also, my legs hurt now, and it’s not convenient for me to move. You have to pay attention to my condition at all times. If anything happens to my legs, I won’t let you off.”

Qin Ming continued to look at her with an expressionless face and didn’t speak.

Anya had originally decided to make things slightly difficult for him. Seeing him like this, she immediately changed her mind. If she didn’t make things seriously difficult for him once, it would be difficult to quell the hatred in her heart.

“I’m going to the monastery outside the city tomorrow. Come with me.”

Qin Ming finally frowned.

Anya snorted. “Why? You’re not willing? Even if you’re not willing, you have to go. I have serious business to attend to there. If I walk there and bump into someone or something because my legs aren’t healed, it will be because you knocked into me. Be careful that I won’t let you off.”

Qin Ming stared into her blue eyes and frowned.

Anya looked up at him, her eyes saying, ‘Try and see what’ll happen if you don’t go.’

The two of them looked at each other for nearly a minute before Qin Ming retracted his gaze and asked, “When?”

Anya didn’t expect him to agree. She felt smug and said, “Eight in the morning.”

Qin Ming: “Okay.”

After saying that, he shut his mouth again, looking like he didn’t want to talk to her anymore.

“…”

Anya scolded in her heart, ‘Stupid blockhead! I hope you stay single all your life!’

…

The next day, Chu Luo and Professor Tang went to the Sun residence early in the morning.

Other than Eldest Master Sun, all the other males in the Sun family had gone out.

When the two of them were invited into the hall, a few madams walked up to Chu Luo enthusiastically.

“Little Chu, you’re finally here. Old Master has been waiting for you to come these past few days.”

Third Madam held Chu Luo’s hand and said with a smile, “I don’t know why Old Master likes Little Chu so much. It wasn’t easy for him to speak. The first thing he asked was when you would come.”

Chu Luo actually didn’t understand either.

However, she didn’t go to the backyard to see Old Master Sun immediately. Instead, she said to Eldest Master Sun, “Thank you, the Sun family, for standing up for me last time.”

“You’re welcome. You saved our father, so you’re our Sun family’s benefactor. It’s only right that we help you.”

First Madam chimed in, “Someone wanted to ruin your reputation in the first place. You’re considered our daughter now. We all like you. We won’t allow anyone to ruin your reputation.”

Second Madam agreed. “Exactly… But we were a little surprised to hear that you got married so early, Little Chu. It’s not that I’m bad-mouthing Li Yan, but his reputation in the outside world is really bad.”

Chu Luo also knew that. She wasn’t angry when she heard this and only said, “The rumors are usually only rumors.”

Third Madam agreed. “Regardless of Li Yan’s reputation outside, it’s fine as long as he treats you well.”

Chu Luo smiled. “Yes.”

“Let’s go to the backyard. Old Master will be very happy to know that you’re here.”

The madams led Chu Luo and Professor Tang to the backyard.

It had rained last night and there were a few puddles in the backyard.

As First Madam walked, she talked about Old Master Sun’s situation over the past few days. “Old Master can sit up occasionally now and even get a few juniors to read the news to him every day, but he can only consume fluids. Old Master Sun has been displeased for a long time. If it weren’t for the fact that he’s weak, his temper might have exploded long ago.”

When Second Madam and Third Madam heard this, they chuckled.

Third Madam said, “Old Master’s temper is very explosive. It’s because of this illness that he has no choice but to restrain himself.”

As they spoke, they walked to the door.

When the nurse heard the voices, she came over early to open the door for them.

First Madam asked the nurse, “Is Old Master awake?”

The nurse nodded. “Old Master Sun just woke up. None of the young masters and young mistresses came over to read the news to him today. He’s listening to the broadcast.”

First Madam nodded and turned to Chu Luo. “Tianhao and the others’ school has a military sports meet recently. Tianhao and the others won’t be able to come back from school, so Old Master can only listen to the broadcast.”

Chu Luo nodded.

They followed the nurse through the small living room and arrived at Old Master Sun’s room.

The door was opened by another nurse. When the nurse saw Chu Luo and Professor Tang, she turned to Old Master Sun, who looked grumpy. “Old Master Sun, Professor Tang and Chu Luo are here.”

When Old Master Sun heard this, his eyes lit up.

He turned to look at the door. When he saw Chu Luo walk in, he waved at her excitedly. “Chu… Chu Luo.”

Chu Luo walked to Old Master Sun’s bed and called out to him, “Grandpa Sun.”

Old Master Sun responded happily.

Chu Luo said, “Let’s check your body first.”

She then looked at Professor Tang, who nodded at her and took out a detector to examine him.

After a while, Professor Tang said, “Looking at the physical data, Old Master Sun is recovering well.”

Chu Luo glanced at the data on it and said to the madams, “Give my Grandpa Sun a nourishing prescription later. Let Grandpa Sun take it for half a month first. When he can get off the bed in half a month, I’ll prescribe him some nourishing medicine. It’ll be enough then.”

Old Master Sun and the madams were a little excited.

“Little Chu, you mean our father can get out of bed in half a month?”

“Yes.”

Chu Luo looked at Old Master Sun and said, “I’ll insert silver needles into you again later and smooth out the qi in your body.”

She thought for a while and said, “You can eat chicken, lean meat, and eggs next, but you can’t eat anything that’s oily.”

When Old Master Sun heard this, his eyes lit up before the light in them extinguished.

Chu Luo held in her laughter and said, “Grandpa Sun, don’t be sad. As long as you can get off the bed and walk, you can eat some meat.”

The three madams noted it down seriously.

Then, Chu Luo inserted silver needles into Old Master Sun.

More than an hour later, she finished inserting the silver needles.

Chu Luo put away the silver needles. Old Master Sun suddenly gestured for everyone to leave and called out to Chu Luo, asking her to stay alone.

“Father must have something to say to Chu Luo,” First Madam said to Professor Tang with a smile. “Professor Tang, let’s go outside first.”

Professor Tang opened his mouth and wanted to say that Old Master Sun couldn’t speak right now, but in the end, he didn’t say anything and followed the madams out.

After Chu Luo closed the door and walked back to Old Master Sun, she asked, “Grandpa Sun, what do you have to say to me?”

Old Master Sun opened his mouth and said, “Ahh ahh…” He was a little anxious that he couldn’t speak now.

“Grandpa Sun, don’t be anxious. You can’t make a sound for now because your bodily functions were too damaged previously. I’ll add some herbs to your nourishing medicine to treat your throat later.”

Old Master Sun nodded and reached out his left hand tremblingly from under the blanket. There was actually a jade buckle in his hand.

Chu Luo exclaimed in surprise. This jade buckle was exactly the same as the one she had found at the Chu family villa last time.

Chu Luo asked, “Where did this jade buckle come from?”

“Ahhh…”

Unable to speak, Old Master Sun was very anxious.

Chu Luo thought for a while and cast a spell on his throat.

Old Master Sun suddenly asked, “Do you have an identical piece there?”

After saying this, he was stunned. Just as his face was about to reveal surprise, Chu Luo said, “I’m just giving you the ability to speak for the time being. The magic I cast will lose effect in five minutes.”

Old Master Sun retracted the excitement in his eyes and looked at her in surprise. “You know magic?”

“Yes, I accidentally learned it in America.”

Having seen a lot in his life, Old Master Sun didn’t harp on this matter. He quickly said, “This jade pendant came in a pair. I have one here and your maternal grandfather has one. Your grandfather probably gave the jade buckle to your mother, Bai Shaoyao.”

When Chu Luo heard that this concerned the original Chu Luo, she wasn’t very interested.

Old Master Sun didn’t notice Chu Luo’s expression and continued, “I’m friends with your grandfather through life and death. We’ve said before that no matter whose descendant is in trouble in the future, one just has to use this jade buckle to look for the other party.”

“It’s just that 20 years ago, your maternal grandfather suddenly brought your mother overseas. When I found out about their whereabouts, your maternal grandfather had already died of illness. Your mother had also married. From then on, our connection was completely severed.”

Chu Luo was a little surprised. “Since we’ve already broken contact, you probably don’t know that my mother gave birth to me. Then how are you so sure that I’m the person you’re looking for?”

“Because you look a lot like your grandmother.”

Chu Luo was even more surprised. “Someone bore a resemblance to my current appearance?”
