Chapter 460: 460. Touched

When he recalled flaming Jia Zhengyi on Weibo last year, Xiao Luo blushed. Although he did not use any expletives, online flaming was still not something he’d brag about to anyone. Thinking of that now only embarrassed him, and Xiao Luo decided never to do that again. Of course, he only did that to earn as many points as possible from the system then.

“Have you thought of how you’d counter these people?” Xiao Luo asked, shifting the topic back to the public discussion.

“Time will resolve many things,” Su Li said, as she brushed back her tousled hair.

Xiao Luo raised his brows and said, “So you’re really not going to do anything?”

“Duh,” Su Li responded, mocking him with a snicker.

“You can hold a press conference to explain our relationship, and as long as you insist that you are still single, I think most of your fans will believe you and continue to support you,” Xiao Luo said.

Su Li was stunned for a moment.

Chai Zhiying, on the other hand, was thrilled, and her eyes brightened up instantly. “That’s right, how could I have missed out that angle. Seems like I was so worried that I had totally lost my ability to think,” she cried, “I’ll arrange a press conference right now. Li Li, wait for my news. Now that the company had abandoned you, I’ll make sure that they beg you to go back on all four this time!”

As she finished speaking, she got up to leave, and she was in high spirits. She took a glance at Xiao Luo as she walked away with one thought on her mind—this jerk was finally becoming useful! She suddenly found him less annoying.

“Your agent is pretty dense and frankly I don’t think she’s doing her job. You should consider changing her for a new one,” Xiao Luo said, pointing at his head when he remarked on Chai Zhiying. He despised her arrogant and demanding attitude and thought that she resembled a woman with premature menopause syndrome.

“That’s very right, I totally agree with brother-in-law. Sis, Chai Zhiying is useless as an agent, why don’t you just fire her,” Su Canye pitched in.

Su Li had not noticed Su Canye’s presence but for his sudden remarks, and she immediately glared at him coldly. “What are you people still doing here, do I need to get the security to escort you out?” she hissed.

Su Li’s tone and coldness made Wang Wanjing lose hope of getting back to the good old times with Su Li, and she realized that Su Li would never forgive her. She tried to speak but could not even manage to utter a word, as hard as she tried.

Wang Wanjing put on a smile and said, “Daughter, take care of yourself, Mom is leaving.”

But Su Li had already shut her out of her world completely, and her response was icy. “Go, and never come here again, no matter what happens. I can take care of myself. Everything about me has nothing to do with you anymore, you are nothing but a burden,” she snapped.

Wang Wanjing felt hurt, but she only took a deep breath to calm herself down, then she proceeded to leave the apartment. Tears of agony rolled down her cheeks the moment she faced away from everyone, and she left the room a forlorn figure.

“Sis, that’s too much!”

Su Canye chided her. He spoke with his usual playful attitude, but his words were dead serious. He then left and caught up with Wang Wanjing.

Was I too much?

Su Li stared at the open door and looked a little confused. She did try to forgive her mother, but whenever she recalled how her mother had tried to drug her that night, she would always get into a rage and lose her composure.

“Pingxiang, you should go back too,” Su Li said.

She looked sympathetically at Luo Pingixiang, who was caught in between and appeared not to know what to do.

“Sis, let me stay and accompany you,” Luo Pingxiang replied. After all these arguments, she knew that Su Li would be in a terrible mood, so she wanted to stay and care for her.

“It’s fine, I want some time alone,” Su Li said.

“Alright, let me know if you need anything, I’ll come over,” Luo Pingxiang said.

“And, don’t be sad, we can overcome this!”

Su Li did not respond to her.

Then, Luo Pingixang also left, and only Xiao Luo remained in the apartment with Su Li.

“Zhiying is a great agent. I would not be here today without her care and effort in managing my public relations. Besides, she’s been running Sumir on my behalf, so the stress from two jobs does make her a little hot-tempered, so go easy on her,” Su Li said, in a delayed response to Xiao Luo’s earlier statement.

Hmm?

It was beyond Xiao Luo’s expectation as he did not think that Chai Zhiying was behind the operation of Sumir. He was quite surprised that, just like him, Su Li did not run the business herself.

“Regarding this matter, how can I help you?” Xiao Luo said, getting back to the topic.

Su Li was slightly stunned and then smiled wryly. “Like how Su Canye flames others online?” she quipped.

“Forget it, then.”

Xiao Luo frowned. His intentions were genuine, but they were being taken for granted and even ridiculed. Su Li did not appreciate his efforts, so he did not see the point in helping and thought it best to forget the matter.

Su Li suddenly realized that her words were too harsh, so she quickly added, “I can handle it. Even if I can’t, the worst scenario is to just retire from showbiz.”

“Okay then, I shall excuse myself.”

Xiao Luo patted Su Xiaobei’s head affectionately and got up to leave.

“Wait.”

What’s wrong?”

“Give me a minute.”

Su Li stood up and walked into her bedroom.

“Daddy, come…”

Su Xiaobei gestured to Xiao Luo to put his ears close to her mouth.

Xiao Luo was quite amused, so he bent over and drew close to her.

“Mommy bought a gift for you yesterday,” the little girl whispered.

“A gift?”

Xiao Luo was pleasantly surprised. “What did she buy for me?” he asked.

Su Xiaobei shook her head, “I don’t know, Mommy left it on a very high place and Beibei could not reach it even on tiptoes.”

It did not take too long for Su Li to come down, and she had a small bag in her hands. She stood before Xiao Luo looking rather uncomfortable and spoke curtly. “For you,” she said.

“What is it?” Xiao Luo asked.

“You’ll know when you open it at home,” Su Li muttered.

“I like to open it before the person who gave me the gift.”

Xiao Luo promptly took out the box and placed it on the table. He opened it and discovered that it was a black men’s watch. It was a black-strapped watch with a white casing, and the dials were embedded with diamonds.

It was from the Swiss-made Omega Constellation Series collection!

Xiao Luo was shocked as this watch cost at least two hundred thousand. Although Su Li was wealthy, and this was nothing much to her, her thought of buying such a luxurious gift meant a lot to him. No mature man could resist a good watch, and that went for Xiao Luo as well. He was quite touched when he saw the watch.

“Didn’t I tell you to open it after you go back?”

Su Li was a little flustered for when she had checked before, giving watches to a man carried a hidden meaning of expressing one’s love.

Xiao Luo smiled. “Does it matter?” he said.

“It does.”

Su Li retorted and turned away as she came up with a silly justification for the gift. “Don’t get the wrong idea, you saved me and this is my token of appreciation.”

Xiao Luo did not speak and continued to examine the watch in great detail. The more he looked at it, the more he was in love with this watch as it was man’s nature to covet classy things.

“Daddy, wear it now, it’ll look fantastic on you,” Su Xiaobei said.

“Okay.”

Xiao Luo was not a sentimental person, so he put on the watch immediately.

Su Li took a fleeting glance at him and felt relieved. She was glad it was the correct size. It looked great on him and undoubtedly made him look classier.

Of course, she did not buy this watch for Xiao Luo to thank him for saving her. She only wanted this man to have a decent watch he could wear with pride.
