Chapter 150: About Her Father

After exchanging a few words with her stepmother, Su Ruan watched as Xia Ru Yan left to join her colleague for dinner. She sat down and found that Long Fei was looking at her.

Her lips curled into a faint smile.

Su Ruan knew well that Long Fei has been watching her interaction with her stepmother just now. Thinking about it, Su Ruan recalled that she had never mentioned her father to him before.

Perhaps, he was also curious about her family.

Just as she was about to speak, the server returned with their food order.

"Let's eat first," Long Fei smiled.

Su Ruan nodded and the two of them ate their meal. From the corner of her eyes, Su Ruan could see that her stepmother was still in a deep conversation with her colleague.

Seeing her around, Su Ruan thought of leaving the restaurant sooner. Otherwise, her stepmother would come to her table again and initiated a conversation with her. Su Ruan did not want to tell her that she had moved to D Town.

Now that she had run into her stepmother, Su Ruan knew that her stepmother would definitely tell their encounter to her father. Regarding her move to D Town... she wanted to tell her father herself.

The two ate their meal without mentioning her stepmother. Su Ruan made an excuse to head to the restroom to pay for their meal.

Long Fei obviously saw her tactic but decided not to mention it.

It seemed that Su Ruan was afraid that he was going to play some tricks and decided to pay for their meal first.

Thinking about it, it was not the first time that Su Ruan had offered to pay for their meal. The last time she said she would pay, he ended up paying before her. Later, he tricked her into having more meals with him.

Perhaps, Su Ruan could foresee what he wanted to do and chose to act first.

The corner of his lips tilted into a smile. The more he spent his time with her, the more he thought that Su Ruan was such an adorable person.

Perhaps, he might begin to like her a little bit.

"Are you going to say a few words to your stepmother before we leave?" Long Fei asked.

Su Ruan glanced at the table which was not far from them. Then she shook her head. "It's fine. It's better if I don't disturb her. Long Fei, let's go."

The two of them walked out of the restaurant together. Once she was outside, Su Ruan finally heaved a long breath. The atmosphere around her was no longer stifling.

Su Ruan twirled around and looked at the man with a bright smile on her face. "Would you like to go on a walk before returning to the hotel?"

"Alright." Long Fei quickly agreed. "It's good to take a walk after a meal."

Su Ruan turned around and walked along the street with the man beside her. She waited until they arrived at a spot where there were lesser people before she turned to Long Fei again.

Coincidentally, her eyes caught the glimpse of a milk tea shop across the street. She turned to Long Fei again and spoke, "Would you like to have some milk tea?"

Sensing that the girl was trying to cheer herself up, Long Fei quickly agree. He casually held her hand and the two of them crossed the street together.

Su Ruan was still staring at their intertwined hands together with a slightly dazed expression. When she looked up again, they have already arrived in front of the milk tea shop.

"What would you like to drink?" Long Fei asked. "Since you have paid for our meal, then, I will buy you this drink."

"Plum tea."

"Then, have a seat first. I will go and buy the drinks first."

"Alright." Su Ruan walked into the shop and found the empty seat deep inside. Lowering her head, she wondered if she should tell Long Fei about her family.

Since they have decided to be in a relationship, it would be strange if he did not know much about herself and her family.

As Su Ruan was still in her thought, Long Fei sat down across her with the plum tea that she wanted and a cup of iced americano for himself.

"Come. Have a drink."

Su Ruan took a sip from her drink and took a deep breath. "Are you not curious about my family?"

"You can tell me if you want to. But I would also understand if you are not comfortable to speak about it," Long Fei said. "We have agreed to take things slowly. We still have a long time ahead. So, you can tell me whenever you are ready."

Her heart was feeling warmer at his words. Although she was a little anxious around Long Fei, he would always find a way to make her feel at ease around him. "Hmm... It's not a matter that I cannot speak about. My parents were divorced when I was still small. According to them, they no longer had a feeling towards each other. Afterward, I live with my father."

"Is that the reason why you did not return to D Town to visit your maternal grandparents for years?"

Su Ruan laughed. "That was part of the reason."

She wondered... if she told him how she would go crazy each time she return to D Town, would Long Fei believe it? When her mother told her the reason they no longer take her back to D Town, even she would think that her mother was speaking nonsense.

"Still, they both had a good relationship and would look after me well. As a child, I don't feel that neglected," Su Ruan said. "Then, my dad remarried and my stepmother brought along her two children. Although we lived together, I was not that very close with her. My relationship with my stepmother was a little awkward. Seeing my dad with his new family... I just could not get used to it. Afterward, I decided to move out of the house and chose to study in Capital City. Even after I graduated, I didn't want to return home."

Su Ruan lowered her gaze.

Her heart would go sour each time that she thought about this.. How her father's attention was slowly taken away from her just because her two siblings were too young.
