448: I’m the Only One Who Can Comfort You

I’m the Only One Who Can Comfort You

"Why did you lie to me and tell me that she was dead, then?" Luosang asked loudly.0

"Because I hate her," Xu Zhengxuan said finally. "When I went looking for her, I realized that she had run away with another man. She had walked out just like that. She walked out on me and you."

Luosang didn't know what to say. She guessed that in relationships, one could be afraid of both receiving and losing love and affection. "If you had handled the relationship between my mother and grandmother properly in a calm manner, she might not have left the two of us. If only you had dealt with it in a more mature way, maybe everything would be different today," Luosang said after a long pause.

"Yes, it's my fault." Xu Zhengxuan covered his face. "I've thought about traveling back in time to put things back in their right place countless times, but there's no such thing. She was so beautiful. I think she was about your age when she left me. I was sure that she would have many suitors afterward. It is likely that she's happily married somewhere. Sangsang, please don't make me reminisce about the past. My heart aches every time."

Luosang closed her eyes, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

Xu Zhengxuan said, "Maybe she was somewhere mocking me when she saw the news about what happened to me. She probably thinks that I am gross and repugnant. She used to say that about me, too. I hope she never appears again. Look at me now. My hair is gray and my forehead wrinkled. I will kill myself in prison if I ever have to see her again…"

"How could I let you die in prison if you're innocent?" Luosang stood up and looked at the clock. It was about time to leave. "Dad, I'll find a way to get you out of here no matter what."

…

She flew straight to the airport after visiting the prison. When she arrived, Nian Junting was waiting for her outside.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were swamped with work." Luosang walked towards him with a look of confusion on her face.

Nian Junting looked hard at her for a second before pulling her into an embrace. He said in a quiet tone, "You visited Papa in the afternoon. You must be feeling dejected. I came because I know I'm the only one who can comfort you."

Luosang was taken aback by his gesture. She was touched, of course. But he claimed that he was the only one that could comfort her… Gee…

"Wait, what did you call my dad just now?" Luosang finally reacted to the situation.

"Papa." The man looked at her matter-of-factly.

The corner of Luosang's mouth twitched uncomfortably. "I don't think we're married yet. What are you doing?"

"It's only a matter of time. It's better that we get used to things now." Nian Junting didn't even bat an eye when he said it.

Luosang found the whole situation hilarious. He wasn't someone who needed time to ease into things. Being with him cleared her mind of all troubles. "Look at your dark eye circles. Did you have a rough night?"

"I only slept a wink. I couldn't fall asleep."

"Did you drink coffee or concentrated tea?" Luosang frowned.

"Nope, I was thinking about you." Nian Junting looked at her seriously.

Luosang blushed instantly.

"Enough, I'm still standing here guys. Can you watch yourselves? I'm about to throw up." Xiao Si rolled his eyes.

"You're still jealous?" Nian Junting wiggled his brows. "I heard you found yourself a girlfriend."

"Who told you that?" Xiao Si was shell-shocked. "Who's my girlfriend?"

"Ji Nuanyi." Nian Junting directed his gaze to Luosang. "Didn't you tell me that yesterday?"
