Chapter 28: Returning to Get Married

Since that day when Pei Xianxian was exposed as a third party, she had completely disappeared.

Even the water army that had originally tried to whitewash her had vanished.

Anyone with eyes could see that she was trying to fade away.

After all, netizens are forgetful. Once there’s a fresher piece of gossip, everyone’s attention shifts.

And she wasn’t that famous to begin with. After a while, who would remember her?

Because of this, she had completely lost her work for a while.

Thankfully, with the support of the Luo family, she didn’t have to worry about anything.

Luo Qianyun also enjoyed a peaceful period at home.

Every day, there were maids who came to clean and cook.

All she had to do was rest and recover.

Occasionally, Song Yunjing would come over to keep her company, and her teacher and his wife also visited, taking her next door to have dinner with Mr. Fu.

Luo Qianyun finally saw that when Mr. Fu was with her teacher, they acted like two old rascals, always bickering.

Her teacher’s wife told her that they had grown up together, but her teacher’s family fell into poverty when they were young.

He disappeared for many years and reappeared as a well-known doctor.

However, he was unlucky at that time. He offended someone and was sent to a farm for labor reform.

Those days were truly tough, and her teacher’s wife met him during that time. Later, with Mr. Fu’s help, they managed to get through it.

“Don’t be fooled by their constant bickering. They have a better relationship than anyone else,” her teacher’s wife said with a smile.

“No wonder Teacher always gives away his favorite tea,” Luo Qianyun laughed.

“It’s not just tea. Mr. Fu’s wife had a difficult childbirth and lost both her and their child. Back then, your teacher even considered giving his brother to Mr. Fu. It was only because Mr. Fu refused that your brother grew up by my side,” her teacher’s wife said with a helpless smile.

However, speaking of this, her teacher’s wife couldn’t help but sigh, “Mr. Fu and his wife had a deep love. Many people advised him to find someone else in the early years, but he refused every time. Thankfully, the country didn’t forget him, and the soldiers he trained, none of them forgot him.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore,” her teacher’s wife changed the topic and looked at Luo Qianyun, “How are you doing recently? Did the Luo family come to find you?”

“They called me before, but I refused to go back, so they didn’t say anything,” Luo Qianyun said.

Hearing this, her teacher’s wife’s expression turned slightly cold, “It’s a good thing they have the face to call you back. Who doesn’t know what they’re up to?”

“Mother-in-law, my brother… is he really not going to wake up?” Luo Qianyun couldn’t help but ask.

After all, Luo Qi was in this state because of her.

She couldn’t understand how such a collision could be so serious.

“Actually, I’ve heard your teacher talk about your brother’s situation. Logically speaking, he shouldn’t have become a vegetable. But after all, he fell when he was young. In medicine, anything can happen,” her teacher’s wife said helplessly.

No matter what, life went on day by day.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Luo Qianyun’s leg had recovered well, and it shouldn’t affect her daily life much.

She wanted to go back to work, as staying at home all day was getting boring.

But her teacher insisted that she rest a little longer.

As for Lu Yunzheng, after their last contact, Luo Qianyun couldn’t get in touch with him.

However, he sent a message through someone, saying he was on a mission…

One night, Luo Qianyun woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly realized that the power was out.

She thought she’d call the property management in the morning.

But as she was walking downstairs with her phone for light to get some water, she heard the sound of the password lock being opened at the entrance.

This startled Luo Qianyun. She turned off the phone light and hid in the kitchen.

She also grabbed a knife for self-defense.

Soon, footsteps came from the entrance…

The person seemed unaware that someone was downstairs and went straight up the stairs to the second floor.

At this moment, Luo Qianyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As she looked at her phone, she confirmed that the guard, Xiao Yang, had received the message. He told Luo Qianyun to hide first, and he would be there soon.

Vaguely, Luo Qianyun seemed to hear voices from the second floor, but she couldn’t make them out.

She wasn’t sure if there was one person or two on the second floor.

And the footsteps seemed to be getting more urgent. Luo Qianyun wasn’t sure if she had been discovered.

After all, she hadn’t closed the door when she came out. If the person went straight into the room, they might have already discovered that she wasn’t there.

Just as she was thinking this, footsteps came from the stairs. The person was coming down so quickly!

Gripping the kitchen knife in her hand, Luo Qianyun forced herself to stay calm. As long as the person dared to come close, she would…

She was afraid of stabbing someone to death, but she should be able to stall for time.

Just as she was thinking this, the footsteps seemed to be heading towards her…

No… there were more than one kitchen space on the first floor. Why didn’t they go look elsewhere?

Luo Qianyun, feeling helpless, could only brace herself for the first battle to protect herself.

Therefore, when a dark figure appeared in front of her, Luo Qianyun raised the tip of the knife without hesitation and said, “Don’t come any closer!”

“…It’s me.”

There was a hint of helplessness in the voice, but also a sense of relief.

Luo Qianyun felt that the voice sounded familiar, but she was too nervous at the moment and couldn’t see the person’s face clearly. She could only stay on high alert.

But the next second, a bright light shone, illuminating Lu Yunzheng’s face, “It’s me, Lu Yunzheng.”

Seeing Lu Yunzheng’s face in front of her, Luo Qianyun was instantly embarrassed…

She knew the voice sounded familiar, but she didn’t expect it to be…

Thinking about it further, this was Lu Yunzheng’s house, and she was a guest.

Luo Qianyun’s hand loosened, and the kitchen knife fell to the ground, “Lu… Lu Team…”

Picking up the knife from the ground, Lu Yunzheng placed it on the nearby rack, “Why are you hiding here alone?”

“I just got up to get some water, and I heard… someone opening the door,” Luo Qianyun said awkwardly.

Lu Yunzheng: “Why is the power out?”

“I don’t know. It was out when I woke up. But it was too late, and I didn’t dare to call anyone to fix it. I was going to do it tomorrow morning,” Luo Qianyun explained quickly.

Hearing this, Lu Yunzheng nodded slightly, “You’re a girl living alone. It’s not safe to let someone in at night. I’ll have someone come to fix it tomorrow morning. You go back to your room and rest. Don’t worry.”

She was indeed worried before, but after seeing him, Luo Qianyun felt reassured.

This reassurance brought on drowsiness. After all, she hadn’t gotten enough sleep.

She quickly called Xiao Yang and told him that she was alright.

The reason she didn’t send a message was simple: she couldn’t be sure who was sending the message.

However, looking at Lu Yunzheng, Luo Qianyun couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you come back in the middle of the night?”

“I just finished a mission and came back. I happened to hear that the certificate is ready, so…” Lu Yunzheng looked down at Luo Qianyun, his throat tightening, “I came back to get married.”
