The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 852: TO REDUCE THE CHANCE OF GETTING 'KILLED'

WHAT? Where? Why? – Those were the questions clearly written on Yu Jiao's face. It was almost comical in a way. It's like a child who's confused and didn't know what to do. "I--"

Before Yu Jiao could finish what she's saying, Luo Wei Tian cut him off.

"Ah Ren, don't you think that's too inappropriate?" he chided his eldest. "Going on a 2-days and 1-night trip with five men, if I was her mother, I wouldn't allow it."

He knew Luo Ren liked Yu Jiao but he didn't expect that it was to the extent that his logical thinking would be affected. He shook his head. How could Luo Ren get the girl to like him with such attitude? He suddenly remembered the days when he and his wife was still in the 'chasing' period. Was he also this insensitive and foolish?

No, he definitely was a lot smarter than this. If he's not, then there's no way Hua-er would fall for him. Should he give this foolish son some love advice?

Luo Ren, on the other hand, wanted to say that it's not like they were a group of beasts and something untoward would happen. Didn't Yu Jiao spend the night at their house? Although there was some mishap, it still ended relatively fine.

But then again, the situation now was probably a bit different from that. That's why he couldn't say anything immediately to refute his father. But still.

When he glanced at Yu Jiao to see her reaction, all his objection completely faded. Because the other truly looked uncomfortable. Like being troubled on whether she should reject or not.

Luo Ren almost hit himself after seeing that. Seriously, what were you doing? You shouldn't have made her feel uncomfortable. – He berated himself. No matter how much he wanted for Yu Jiao to accompany them on this trip, he should have been more sensitive to what the other would feel. Instead, he just went on ahead without thinking of any possible consequence.

Would he be hated? Well, it wouldn't be surprising if she suddenly developed an aversion towards him. He should rectify this quickly before more damage was made.

He turned to Yu Jiao. "I'm sorry, Jiao Jiao. Please forgive me for saying something thoughtless," he said bowing his head.

"Oh, no, no, it's alright!" Yu Jiao quickly said.

Although she was indeed very entangled at first, it's not like she was very offended by Luo Ren's suggestion. She was just shocked and then panicked, not knowing how to answer.

Of course, she's happy that she was invited. But then that joy was quickly replaced by awkwardness. Just like what Uncle Luo said, she's a girl. Travelling to another province with five males was, well, just like what Uncle Luo said, inappropriate. No matter how comfortable she was around them, it's just not right.

It's probably just her maiden sensibilities talking which she didn't know she still possessed at this point. Or that she knew that her mother would not allow it, that's why she was so entangled. Either way, it's not really worth bowing over.

"I- I'm not really offended or anything," she added.

"Still, I should apologize." Luo Ren raised his head and stared at Yu Jiao. His voice involuntarily softened as he added, "Please, don't hate me."

Yu Jiao suddenly felt her heart skipped a beat. She held on to her chest, wondering if it was because of the other's sudden puppy like appearance. No, that actually didn't make sense. She subconsciously looked down. Since she didn't know what was happening, she decided to just ignore it. She felt like if she continued to pursue it, something more than skipping heartbeat would happen.

"I--" she stopped, and then at the end, she could only mutter, "How could I hate you?"

The voice was so soft and low that the people in the room would have probably not heard it if not for the surrounding being completely quiet.

Hearing this, Luo Ren finally let out a small smile. The joy in his eyes was even more prominent after seeing the shy expression on Yu Jiao's face. Although he was a bit disappointed that the other wouldn't be able to go with them on this trip, he was thankful that his carelessness didn't cause irreparable damage.

Luo Wei Tian nodded in approval at how his eldest handled things. It seemed that this kid was not so hopeless, after all.

Luo Yan was glad that this small fiasco was over. He actually thought of helping his older brother convince Yu Jiao to go with them. He was even planning to suggest to invite her mother. Good thing he didn't say anything. If he did, he would have definitely been scolded by his father.

Luo Jin, on the other hand, was quite glad that Yu Jiao wouldn't be coming with them. That guy Shen Ji Yun was already coming with them. If Yu Jiao went to the trip as well, wouldn't he be the only one without a partner? Yes, he's petty that way.

Of course, it would be another matter if Su Yuqi could come with them as well. But alas, inviting the other had never crossed his mind. Probably because he was not as shameless as his eldest brother.

Shen Ji Yun picked up the cup in front of him and drank tea. He was suddenly glad that he was a boy. Because the same constraints wouldn't apply to him and Luo Yan. But then again, having the same gender also have its own set of problems that he was very much aware of.

He secretly glanced at Uncle Tian. Shen Ji Yun felt like if the other found out his intentions towards Luo Yan, he would be killed for sure. He gulped down the tea he's drinking.

Should he try to get close to Uncle Tian in this coming trip? It seemed that that was the only option to at least reduce the chance of him getting 'killed'.
