Chapter 20

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

Eating desserts after one was hungry, a person would lose their appetite after just one or two bites even though it would satisfy their hunger.

—Young Master Luo was raised cupped in others’ hands since childhood. His personality was also overbearing, so how could anyone dare to order him when looking after him? Naturally, he did not understand these trivial matters.

Tang Ran knew but didn’t say anything. She sat down on the natural wooden tall table and tasted two bites of mousse before slowly putting down the dessert spoon.

The rooms in the main building of the Luo family were extremely soundproof. As she sat on the round wooden stool in the side room, she could only vaguely hear the occasional conversation from the long corridor.

After waiting for a while and not seeing anyone return, Tang Ran fished her phone out of the jacket pocket that was draped over her shoulder.

Putting it on the table, Tang Ran tapped on the phone.

“Luoluo.”

“…… Here.”

After a second or two of silence, it was the same cold, lazy and lordly voice.

Tang Ran bent the corners of her mouth, “I think that although Luo Xiu was a bit harsh during our first meeting, he’s actually very gentle and nice, a really good person. What do you think?”

“Don’t get confused by ‘nice guys’,” Luoluo said lazily, “Be careful of being cheated.”

Tang Ran was slightly stunned.

This was a new language module that she hadn’t carried out with Luo before. She wondered which keyword triggered it…..

She chatted with it curiously, “Why would he cheat me?”

A laugh came from the phone’s AI assistant, cold and faint, with a bit of disdainful arrogance: “Cheat your money, cheat for sex, cheat your body and cheat your heart.”

The little girl fell sank into deep contemplation.

After a while, Tang Ran’s mind cleared up, shook her head, and said seriously, “Luo Xiu wouldn’t.”

Luoluo didn’t respond to her—going over the response time, the voice assistant had automatically gone into hibernation, so she could only wake it up again if she still wanted to talk.

Tang Ran thought about it and didn’t call Luoluo out again. She felt for the edge of the table and carefully got off the round wooden stool.

The blind cane was placed on the corner of the table. Tang Ran picked it up and then lightly propped it up and tentatively walked in toward the door of the side room.

After passing the layers of bookshelves, Tang Ran found the door by memory. She took hold of the cold metal door handle and gently pushed down.

Click.

The door was pulled open.

Outside the door.

Accompanied by a light scoff, a voice so cold that it sounded like it was dipped in ice water was still ringing out, “Before I go back, let them think about what final wishes they have unfulfilled-“

“Luo Xiu?”

“……”

Luo Zhan’s figure stiffened.

He put down the phone, turning back to look at the door of the side room.

The girl with closed eyes was holding up her blind cane and was tilting her head blankly in the direction he was in. It wasn’t clear if she was frightened by his undisguised irritated tone just now, but her fingers holding the door were pressed tightly, and her tiny nails were flushed with sweet color.

Luo Zhan put the phone back into his trouser pocket. Hiding the impatience and annoyance on his face, he kept his tone under control, “Why did you come out?”

“I stayed a little too long, it’s time to go home.” Tang Ran hesitated and asked softly, “Can you have someone send me back to the side building? My driver should be waiting for me there.”

“……”

Luo Zhan stared behind him, looking out through the previous hallway window at the dark night sky. He turned back, “Do you have the driver’s phone number, have him come around to the back of the main building and I’ll send you down.”

Tang Ran blanked out, “But the main building doesn’t allowed the guests’ cars to come over…..”

“It doesn’t matter, I’ll explain.”

Tang Ran revealed her hesitation, “If Luo Zhan finds out, it’ll be bad for you, right?”

Luo Zhan’s eyes drifted, “I am also surnamed Luo. I can still make decisions over this kind of small thing.”

“…… Okay.”

Tang Ran went to the side to call the driver.

Luo Zhan took out his phone and looked down at it. The call hadn’t been hung up, and the opposite side had been quiet as a chicken waiting.

Luo Zhan frowned slightly, put the phone next to his ear, his voice regained its cold and willful tone, “I have something to do tonight and can only go back after. Before I arrive at the lab, no one should move another finger of that robot.”

“Okay, okay, brother Zhan.” The other side cautiously answered.

There was a beep on the speakerphone, and the call disconnected.

After an eerie silence, several male students in the laboratory of K University’s Junior Division looked up and stared at each other in disbelief.

Only after a long time did someone speak cautiously, “You guys, did you hear.. just now.. Brother Zhan talking to someone?”

“Was that really Luo Zhan’s voice? Although I heard it, but that tone of voice—I can’t imagine it’s him.”

“I’ll die with no regrets if I ever hear brother Zhan talking to someone like this in my lifetime.”

“Heh heh. Wait until brother Zhan comes back tonight and sees this robot. We’ll all be able to properly ‘die with no regrets’.”

“But who the hell was talking to him? Surprisingly, they could make him change his mind not to rush back first to sort us- ahem, sort out the robot?”

“……”

When several boys were in deep thought, the one closest to the phone and also the one responsible for talking on the phone just now spoke carefully: “It sounded like a little girl.”

The lab was dead silent for a few seconds.

“Hahahahaha-“

“You thought up a little girl in your hallucination. It’s Brother Zhan, how could he talk to a little girl like this?”

“That’s right, ah. Brother Zhan even sparing a glance at a girl is already rare. His disastrous face, if it weren’t for his arrogant master personality that’s indifferent to girls, how could he be single until now? Hahahaha…..”

The mocked boy pulled his hair in distress and muttered, “But to me, it clearly sounded like a little girl’s voice.”

“……”

Buy me a kofi for faster releases.

The manhua used junior division instead of junior class which sounds more fancy so I’ll go with that from now on.
