Chapter 104: Chapter 099 - Pretending to be Normal Occasionally Works (First Update)

Tong Airui smiled gently, "Second Uncle, I’m fine. This time it’s my fault—I misjudged the situation. I promise it won’t happen again. Your health still isn’t suitable for long-distance travel. Also, you need to testify in Xi Meichen’s case as a witness, so you’ll have to stay in the capital for a while."

Yi Weiyang sighed softly, "The police haven’t come to talk to me yet, and I don’t know when this case will be resolved. Until she faces legal consequences, my father and my brothers’ spirits will find no peace."

"My uncle knows your health hasn’t been good, so he didn’t want to disturb you. I’ve been following up on this case personally—it’s progressing quickly. I believe the trial will happen soon," Tong Airui paused, "Rest assured, neither of them will end up with a good outcome."

"I trust you to handle things. Here’s the plan: I’ll recover here while waiting for the trial, and Li Hua will coordinate as well. Once the case is over, Luowa and I can leave. Out of sight, out of mind."

Tong Airui raised an eyebrow slightly, "Second Uncle, your arrangement sounds perfect. Have you decided where to settle down?"

Yi Weiyang said hesitantly, "I have an estate at the border between Bastu and Nanwu, and I’m considering settling there. But the problem is, it’s a bit far from where Luowa will be going to school."

Tong Airui laughed and nodded, "I know about that estate—the environment is great. I wasn’t expecting you to be the actual owner. Second Uncle, you don’t have to worry about Luowa’s schooling. She can stay at our place during the school term, and I’ll personally take her back to your estate during the holidays."

"I’m not staying at your place!" Yi Luowa quickly shook her head. "Second Uncle, don’t we still have an apartment in Xiawu? I can live there during the school term."

Tong Airui shook his head, "You living alone wouldn’t put Second Uncle at ease. Besides, you know how much my mom likes you—she definitely wouldn’t let you live elsewhere."

Yi Luowa pouted, "That’s exactly the problem! Auntie is just too nice to me. If I stay for too long, I won’t be able to keep up appearances as a normal person, and if Auntie ends up disliking me, what then?"

"Pfft! Little girl, are you saying what we’re seeing now is you pretending, or the real you?" Mi Chenxuan couldn’t resist chiming in.

"Half and half."

As soon as Yi Luowa finished speaking, everyone in the room burst out laughing.

"What are you all laughing at!" Yi Luowa puffed her cheeks indignantly, glaring at them.

"We’re laughing at how self-aware you are," Yi Weiyang chuckled. "Let’s talk about it later. Airui is injured—you all should head back and rest."

Yi Luowa looked dissatisfied, "Every time I come to see you, you try to send me away!"

"I’m recovering steadily, and Li Hua is here to take care of me. Airui’s old injury hasn’t healed yet, and he’s gotten himself a new one—all because of you. If you don’t take care of him, who will?" Yi Weiyang waved dismissively, "Go now—I need to give Uncle Pu a call."

Tong Airui got up to bid Yi Weiyang farewell, then pulled Yi Luowa out of the sickroom.

Just as the four of them stepped outside, they saw Mai Zekai in surgical scrubs, hurrying into the operating room. Yi Luowa stifled a giggle, "Doctor Mai usually speaks so slowly—why’s he suddenly moving so fast?"

Tong Airui smiled without saying anything.

Yi Luowa gave their tightly clasped hands a little shake, "Tong Airui, Doctor Mai’s surname is Mai—he’s your cousin? No, wait, I remember you used to call Doctor Mai’s dad your uncle."

Tong Airui shot a cold glance toward the nurses’ station, where a few nurses were secretly watching him. "I’ll explain once we’re back in the room."

Yi Luowa followed his gaze and noticed that the nurse with a 34D chest was smiling at Tong Airui. She angrily scratched his palm, "If you dare look again, I’ll poke your eyes out!"

Tong Airui turned his head to look at her and said with a smile, "I didn’t look."

"Liar!" Yi Luowa snorted, dragging him back to the room. Before Mi Chenxuan could follow them in, she shut the door. "Chen Xuan, Yuan Hang—you two go rest in my room for now. I need to interrogate this disloyal man!"

"Haha..." Mi Chenxuan’s laughter came from outside the door. "Little girl, if I remember correctly, you also snuck a peek at that woman with the big chest! If you ask me, you and my fourth brother are even—there’s no need for an interrogation!"

"I didn’t sneak a peek! I was warning her not to look at me!" Tong Airui shouted toward the door, then turned to Yi Luowa, "You already have everything—you’re not sneaking a peek at her, are you? Isn’t she an eyesore to look at?"

"She is!" Yi Luowa huffed. She found the nurse terribly annoying—her envy and jealousy over the nurse’s "assets" were undeniable.

Tong Airui raised his hand and poked her forehead. "If she’s so annoying, why did you look? Alright, since you can’t control your wandering eyes, I’ll help you—I’ll make sure she disappears from this floor in no time."

Yi Luowa’s jaw dropped, "Are you going to kill her?!"

"What are you thinking? I’m just going to arrange for her to transfer to another department," Tong Airui said as he picked up the phone.

Yi Luowa quickly grabbed his hand to stop him, "Forget it—it’s not easy for her either. Don’t ruin her career. I promise I won’t look at her again. Now tell me about Doctor Mai’s connection to you."

Tong Airui held back his laughter and put the phone down. What a silly girl—she had just been accusing him of looking, but now she was the one admitting fault first.
