Long Fei left the study in a hurry. As he walked out, he almost run into his mother.
Perhaps because of the loud arguments between the men, Qin Ruo came over to persuade them. However, it seemed that she had come a little too late.
Seeing the upset look on her son's face made her upset. It was not hard for her to figure out what had happened between the father and son.
"Ah Fei," Qin Ruo called her son, wanting to coax her son. But once she opened her mouth, Qin Ruo suddenly did not know what she should say.
Long Fei exhaled a heavy breath. "Mom, I'll go first."
Qin Ruo could only watch her son walk away. Hearing the sounds of footsteps approaching, Qin Ruo turned around. Her expression changed when she saw her husband. "What did you say to him?"
There was a slight fluctuation on Long Chen's face when he faced his wife. "It's the matter that we have discussed previously. I only told him that he can make a choice but he was determined to continue and look for that girl."
Her eyes narrowed. "Discussed? When did we discuss this matter? You told me what the elders wanted but had never discussed things with me." Her voice was a whisper but one could hear the anger in her voice.
Qin Ruo opened her mouth to say something. But realizing that she was at her father-in-law's courtyard, Qin Ruo could only hold her anger. The moment she turned around to leave, Long Chen quickly went after his wife.
Long Chen knew that he will have to coax his wife soon. However, there were too many people around the place and he could not lose his face.
He could only wait until they had returned to their courtyard before he could speak.
Who would have thought that the moment his wife entered their bedroom, she would slam the door on his face and locked it?
Long Chen touched the tip of his nose, wondering how he was supposed to coax his wife now.
Turning around, Long Chen quickly instructed his men to find the secondary key to the bedroom.
Someone finally brought the keyset five minutes later.
Long Chen inserted the key and pushed the door. The moment he walked in, he was stunned to see that his wife was packing up her luggage.
The two of them had only arrived home from their trip a couple of days ago. Why would his wife suddenly start packing?
"Qin Ruo, what are you doing?" Long Chen's voice softened as he spoke to his wife. "Why are you packing up?"
"I'm leaving. You can stay here with your family."
His expression changed. "Qin Ruo. You know that I cannot avoid this matter. The elders are getting anxious and–"
"Don't talk to me," Qin Ruo turned to look at her husband angrily. "Long Chen, it was always about your family and what the elders wanted. From the moment my son was born, he had to listen to the elder's arrangements just because he was special. But have you ever asked him what he wanted to do?"
Long Chen stretched his hand to touch his wife but his hand was quickly slapped away.
"Don't touch me." Qin Ruo's breathing turned heavier as she looked at her husband. "Long Chen, tell me… how much longer are you going to decide things for my son?"
"I'm doing this for his own good."
Qin Ruo sneered. Then, she turned around and continued to pack her stuff. "I have had enough of your family. Long Chen, when I chose to marry you, this is not what I have in mind."
His body turned cold when he heard her words. Long Chen wanted to step forward but found that his body had refused to cooperate.
"I understood that your family is important. But as a mother, my son is an important person for me." Taking a deep breath, she then continued. "I am leaving. Don't come over and find me until you make it right with my son's situation.
…
Meanwhile, the moment Long Fei leave the courtyard, he went straight to his 4WD and slid into the driver's seat. Each time that he had a conversation with his father, Long Fei would always leave angrily.
From his childhood until he was now an adult. It seemed that nothing had changed between them.
His father had never known how to talk properly with him.
Each time, his father would side with the elders rather than think of what he really wanted.
Actually, Long Fei could tell his father that he had found the girl. However, with the way the elders had always wanted to control his life, Long Fei was worried that once they know about Su Ruan, they would force her into doing something she did not want to do.
He was worried that his family would be controlling her.
The girl was happier with the freedom she had. He liked her very much. Putting her into a cage was not something that he wanted to do.
Long Fei continued to drive without having a destination. His mind was preoccupied with a lot of things and his anger was still simmering.
He did not know how long he has been driving but when he finally pulled over his car, Long Fei realized that he was parked outside the Ma family orchard.
Long Fei was stunned, wondering what was he doing at this place. He looked up and stared at the house in front of him for a long time.
This was not the first time that he had come over. Long Fei knew where Su Ruan's bedroom was located and had been staring in that direction for a long time.
The anger in his heart gradually disappeared and instead, a sense of longing came over. He wanted to see her. He needed to see her.
If it was the nighttime, he could shift into that small dragon and sneak into her room but at this time, it was not convenient.
As Long Fei continued to stare at the house, someone came over and knocked at his window.. Turning around, Long Fei found that it was Su Ruan's grandfather, Ma Hao Dong.
