Chapter 907: A WIDE GRIN
Chapter 907: A WIDE GRIN
LUO REN was on his way to his father’s office to invite the other for lunch. As he was walking, he couldn’t help but remember the conversation he had with Yu Jiao earlier this morning.
He was glad that the other’s impression of him didn’t change because of those pictures. Although the image of him wearing make-up would probably remained in her mind for quite a long time. He was also very happy that Yu Jiao called him ‘handsome’. He just didn’t know what to feel after the other gave him the ‘good person’ card.
Because wasn’t that on the same level as being friend zoned?
Luo Ren sighed. Maybe in Yu Jiao’s mind he’s just a nice older brother and nothing more. He had already thought of how he should change the other’s impression of him for a long quite some time now, but he honestly couldn’t think of a way.
It’s not like he could just directly show his feelings to Yu Jiao. Especially when the other was still technically a minor. Although her birthday was next month and she would turn 18 then, he’s still not sure if it’s right for him to make a move. He wanted to, of course. He’s just not sure if he should.
Even if Yu Jiao was finally an adult, she’s still a student. He’s a working adult that had already stepped into society while she was just making her way there. He could easily take advantage of her lack of experience in life and manipulate her into thinking that she also felt the same way for him as he did for her.
Of course, not that he would. He was just saying that it would be easy for him to influence her towards that direction. Maybe he would even subconsciously do that without him noticing.
He sighed once again. He probably should just continue to be patient. It’s not like things would be solved if he mulled over it non-stop. Doing things one step at a time was still the best course of action.
Luo Ren just hoped that during the time that he was being patient, Yu Jiao wouldn’t fall in love with some other guy. He might really do something drastic if that happened.
He stopped in front of his father’s office and knocked. When he heard the other’s voice telling him to come in, he opened the door and walked inside. He saw his father buried in paperwork.
“Dad, take a break and let’s eat lunch,” he said to the other.
Luo Wei Tian raised his head when he heard his son’s voice. Seeing Luo Ren, the picture that he saw this morning suddenly eclipsed with the other’s face. And he just burst into laughter.
“Sorry, sorry, I just suddenly remembered the photos Xiao Yan sent earlier.”
“Yes, please, feel free to laugh at my expense,” Luo Ren said in a wry voice.
After a bout of laughter, Luo Wei Tian finally managed to regain his composure. “But how did you end up like that anyway?”
“Let’s just say that Yan Yan played a prank.”
Luo Wei Tian raised a brow. “Don’t tell me you did something to annoy your brother?”
“Dad, why does it have to be my fault? You’re being extremely bias, you know?” Luo Ren countered as if offended.
Luo Wei Tian shook his head. “What bias? Your brother is not the type to play such a prank if you hadn’t done something to piss him off. So, what was it? What did you do?”
“Let’s just leave it at that since Yan Yan had already took his revenge,” Luo Ren said. It’s not like he could tell the other that it was because of what he instructed Shen Ji Yun to do.
“You should be thankful that Jiao Jiao didn’t mind you looking like that,” his father said. “What would have happened if I lost my future daughter-in-law because she thought you have a crossdressing hobby?”
“You know what, Dad, I think I will have that lunch by myself.”
After saying that, Luo Ren turned around and walked out of the office.
Luo Wei Tian laughed once again before standing up and following his son.

“Xiao Yan must really like you if he did that much just so he could ‘avenge’ you,” Bai Ze said.
He and Shen Ji Yun were currently walking towards the cafeteria for lunch. He only managed to meet the other now. If not, then he would have already teased Shen Ji Yun about the little prank Luo Yan played this morning.
“Revenge is too exaggerated. I’m sure Yan Yan didn’t do it for me,” Shen Ji Yun said.
Bai Ze gave the other a side eye glance. “You know, you would be more believable if you don’t have that huge grin on your face.”
Shen Ji Yun subconsciously raised his hand to check his expression because of what Bai Ze said. After confirming that he was not grinning, he looked at the other. “I’m not grinning. Stop making things up.”
“But you’re smiling this wide!” Bai Ze reasoned out, lifting both corners of his lips. “If we consider just how often you smile like that, which was almost never mind you, it might as well be a grin.”
Shen Ji Yun decided not to respond to that. What else could he say when it’s true that he was very happy with Luo Yan’s little gesture. Yes, he’d rather call it that than referred to it as ‘revenge’. Because the other probably did that just so he could feel better about that announcement that made him a complete laughingstock.
Although he didn’t ask Luo Yan to do that, it certainly made him happy. Just the fact that his rabbit did that for him was enough to warm his heart. Having Luo Ren wear make-up like that was just an added bonus.
“How about that thing we talked about last time?” he asked, changing the topic.
Bai Ze knew that Shen Ji Yun was deflecting but he didn’t mind since he also wanted to talk about what the other asked. “Ah that, don’t worry. I already reserved a room for our team.”
