The Return of the God Level Assassin

Chapter 958  JIAO JIAO'S BIRTHDAY (IV)

LUO YAN felt very proud after he said that. It's like a perfect sales pitch. Not that he's saying that he's selling his brother. He's just doing his job to promote his goodness to the person that may or may not hinder his relationship with the girl he liked. If Luo Ren heard what he just said, he would definitely be thankful for his quick wit.

It was only after a few seconds that he realized that the way he worded his 'sales pitch' was a bit cringey. Using the words 'pure' and 'single' in the same sentence, didn't he just practically announced that Luo Ren was a virgin?

Luo Yan panicked for a bit. Then, he thought, what's wrong with being a virgin? That couldn't be considered a flaw on someone. Besides, his brother was only 22 turning 23. At least he still had seven years before he could be called a 'wizard'.

His thoughts were cut off when he heard Aunt Xiuying's chuckle. He turned to the other and saw her with an amused look on her face. It seemed that what he said made her laugh. Well, at least she's not looking at him as if he said something weird. So, that's better, right?

"I see. Then, whoever his partner is in the future, they would be very lucky to have such a pure boyfriend," Ji Xiuying said.

Hearing that, Luo Yan became even more motivated. Because it felt like his 'sales pitch' was definitely working. And so, what should a loyal brother like him do?

Of course, he should continue!

"That's definitely true, Aunt Xiuying," he said. "My older brother is the..."

 Luo Ren sneezed.

Luo Wei Tian glanced at his son. "Are you coming down with a cold?"

Luo Ren scrunched up his nose. "I don't think so. Maybe someone's just talking behind my back."

They just got off from work. The two of them were now in the car travelling to the apartment where Yu Jiao and her mother lived. They would probably arrive there a little over six in the evening. Hopefully, there wouldn't be too much traffic on the road.

"You're the one who found the apartment where Jiao Jiao and her mother currently lives, correct?" Luo Wei Tian asked after a while. "Did you make sure that it wouldn't be too hard on them?"

He heard that the one paying the rent for the apartment was Yu Jiao and that her source of income was from playing that game Arcadia. He didn't know how much a student like her could earn from that, but no matter whether it's high or low, the fact that she was already the breadwinner of their family was very commendable. That's why if there's a way to lessen her burden in a non-intrusive manner, then they should.

"Yes, Dad. It's the first thing I made sure when I was searching for an apartment," Luo Ren said.

Luo Wei Tian nodded with approval. "Did you buy her a gift? It's her 18th birthday, so you definitely anywhere."

Luo Wei Tian scoffed. "I'm not being a mother hen, I'm just making sure that you're not going to should have."

"Yes, Dad. I prepared a gift for Jiao Jiao."

"It's not just some run-of-the-mill gift you can but anywhere, surely?"

At this point, Luo Ren only felt helpless at his father's 'nagging'. "Dad, you do know you sounded like a mother hen just now, right? And yes, my gift is definitely not something anyone could just by anywhere."

Luo Wei Tian scoffed. "I'm not being a mother hen, I'm just making sure that you're not going to mess this up. Jiao Jiao is a good girl. If you miss your chance with her because of momentary carelessness, I might reconsider leaving Tianhua Group to you."

Yu Jiao was more than just a good girl. He liked how, despite being timid, she was still tenacious and determined. And her kind-heartedness was a strength rather than a weakness. If Mei Hua was still with them, she would have definitely loved her.

As he remembered his wife, the feeling of sadness, intertwined with happiness, quickly filled him. He shook his head and tried to focus more on the present. Hearing Luo Ren's response also helped him to return to his senses.

"Dad, I'm very careful." Heck, he was so careful that he couldn't even dare touch even the tip of Yu Jiao's finger. "When did you ever see me jeopardize something very important?"

His father was silent for a moment, as if the other was really thinking of a point in his life where he did exactly that. And when he couldn't think of anything, he just nodded.

"That's good to know then."

Soon, the both of them arrived at their destination. It was already half and hour after six. Just in time for dinner.

Luo Wei Tian looked up at the building, examining it like some kind of supervisor. "Did you check this building's security?"

"Dad..." Luo Ren said in a helpless tone.

"What? I was just asking."

"Let's just go inside."

Luo Ren respectfully pulled his father inside the building before the other began a new round of 'nagging'.

Arriving at the floor of Yu Jiao's apartment, Luo Ren rang the doorbell. It didn't take long for the door to open. A tall girl with short hair and handsome features appeared.

"Brother Ren! Uncle Wei Tian!" she greeted with a bright smile. "Please, come in."

Seeing that, Luo Ren felt like his heart suddenly skipped a beat. But he quickly composed himself and smiled back before walking inside the apartment. Before he could greet the other, his father had already walked in front of him and did it first.

"Happy birthday, Jiao Jiao," Luo Wei Tian said as he handed a heavy paper bag to Yu Jiao. "This is my gift."

Yu Jiao took the paper bag. It's not sealed so she immediately saw its content – a bunch of practice books for college entrance examination.

She smiled when she saw that. For some, it wouldn't be much, but for her who's going to be an examinee soon, these books were more than enough. They were definitely better than something she couldn't use.

"Thank you, Uncle Wei Tian!"
