Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack
Chapter 429 - 409: Farewell

Chapter 429: Chapter 409: Farewell

The two of them joked and laughed, but it couldn’t change the passage of time. Luo Qianqian’s face worsened as she watched the clock, looking as though she was about to cry at any moment.

Xu Tianyi, holding her hand, softly advised, "It’s not like we won’t see each other again, it’s only five years."

Luo Qianqian felt the warmth in her palm, and tears immediately plopped down: "There are only so many five-year periods in a lifetime, I don’t care, you have to come back earlier."

Xu Tianyi nodded in agreement, "I will definitely try to come back early."

"You said so, no take-backs." Luo Qianqian, feeling wronged, clutched at Xu Tianyi’s sleeve, yet she no longer had the courage to throw herself into his arms for a hug as she once did, simply put, she chickened out.

Luo Qianqian was going crazy inside. She wanted to cry in the young man’s arms, sobbing about her grievances instead of shedding pitiful tears and clutching at his sleeve. Was she a clothespin in her past life?

Xu Tianyi was also saddened, but if he didn’t leave, he would never have the status to stand by this girl’s side for a lifetime, only standing opposite the Luo Family. He was unwilling to accept that, so he had to go.

As for the Xu Family, he didn’t care. A biological father who considered him a burden and a bunch of so-called relatives who saw him as a thorn in their side, he had had enough of them.

"Let’s go." Luo Qianqian, who was aware of this, quickly adjusted her mindset, burying her more-than-fraternal feelings deep in her heart, and smilingly said, "I’m the only one seeing you off, I hope you don’t mind."

"Of course not." Xu Tianyi smiled and took the young girl’s hand. He was about to leave after all; taking this small advantage was permissible. Seeing the young girl’s blushing face made him feel especially good.

It wasn’t until Luo Qianqian arrived at the airport that she felt overwhelmingly sorrowful, realizing her young man was about to start his journey.

The two stood outside the check-in gateway, Luo Qianqian bowing her head.

The young man sighed lightly and pulled the girl into his arms, "You look as if I’ve wronged you. Don’t be sad. How about you marry me when I return?"

The girl broke into a smile, "Then I’ll marry you." But she nestled in the young man’s arms, unwilling to come out until it was her time to go.

Luo Qianqian tugged at the young man’s collar, stood on her tiptoes, and quickly planted a kiss on his chin. After the kiss, she waved her hand and ran off, her voice trailing off in the distance, "Young man, I’ll wait for your return."

Touching his chin, Xu Tianyi suddenly wondered if he had grown too tall?

Luo Qianqian dashed out of the airport, quickly hailed a cab and sped away, her face reddened with effort. Looking back at the airport, she whispered, "I really don’t want to go so long without seeing you."

Xu Tianyi stood there, stunned for a moment before picking up his suitcase and heading inside. Just then, he was stopped by two suit-clad men, "Sir, our young master would like to see you."

Xu Tianyi frowned, immediately categorizing the two men as from the Xu Family. His face fell with defeat, "Can’t the Xu Family leave me alone? I truly don’t want anything from you."

Xu Tianyi looked at the two sturdier young men and gave up resisting, "I’ll go with you."

To his surprise, one of the young men extended his hand, "Please hand over your documents first." Xu Tianyi gritted his teeth, finally pulling out his credentials from his backpack. He watched as the young man turned to leave, thinking it was fortunate that Luo Qianqian had left early.

Not long after, the two young men accompanied Xu Tianyi through the ticket check and onto the plane, only to be surprised to find that it was first-class, and aside from himself, there was only one other person in the cabin. That person lay back in his seat, a hat tipped over his face, appearing to be about the same age by his figure. One of the young men said to the reclining figure, "Young master, we have brought the person."

That person gave a nod and took off his hat. Xu Tianyi’s eyes went wide: "You!!!"

"Shh." The person patted the seat next to him: "Sit down and let’s talk, you guys go ahead and leave."

The young man in the suit obeyed and left, naturally not being able to stay in first class like their master.

"I changed your destination for you, you’re coming with me." The person looked at Xu Tianyi’s surprised eyes and smiled: "What’s wrong? You took away my dear sister, can’t I take you with me to knock some sense into you?"

The speaker was Luo Shufan, just that he seemed much more refined compared to a year ago.

"How come you’re here? Why didn’t you go to see her?" Xu Tianyi knew better than anyone what Luo Qianqian wanted.

Luo Shufan flipped open the book in front of him: "I used to, and still can’t protect her safety. That’s why I need to grow, and she needs to grow too, but she’s too lazy and needs motivation." As he spoke, he handed a photo from the book to Xu Tianyi: "Just because I’m not by her side, doesn’t mean I’m unaware of these things. You want to take my sister away; you still need my approval."

Xu Tianyi nodded frankly: "You have indeed changed a lot." Then he asked with an uneasy look: "So, do you plan to let her continue down the old path of the Luo Family?"

Unexpectedly, Luo Shufan’s expression shifted slightly as he looked at Xu Tianyi and shook his head: "I don’t have a say in it. She definitely needs to attend university, but how she does it is not up to me to decide."

"Do you really have people behind you?" Xu Tianyi’s face turned cold, and just as he was about to stand up, he was pulled back by Luo Shufan.

"So what if there are people? Am I, her own brother, going to harm her?" As he spoke, he passed the book in his hand to Xu Tianyi: "Do you think I’m taking it easy?" For his sister’s ease, he needed to learn more than just university courses.

Xu Tianyi flipped through it: "What is this...?"

"I’m studying, and you’re going too. I more or less know all you’ve been doing, so I won’t be polite to you." Luo Shufan smiled: "The reason I changed your itinerary is because it’s been leaked. If you had gone straight there, I’m afraid the Xu Family would receive news of your death the next day."

"That’s impossible, not more than five people know about this, all of whom can be trusted."

"I didn’t say it was leaked by them. You should know that the airline’s information isn’t completely secure." Luo Shufan patted his leg and laughed: "It’s just a bit more troublesome, and you’ll need to change vehicles, that’s all."

Xu Tianyi suddenly remembered something: "If you’ve been paying attention to Qianqian, then do you know if someone visited Uncle Luo today, placing either a bouquet or carnations by the tombstone?"

Luo Shufan’s eyes flickered and he lowered his head: "I’m not a god, how could I know everything?"

Xu Tianyi didn’t know why, but because of what Luo Shufan said, he was certain he knew who the visitor was.

Nonetheless, since it was Luo Shufan rather than someone from the Xu Family who came, he breathed a sigh of relief, calmly chatted with Luo Shufan for a bit, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at the sleeping Xu Tianyi, Luo Shufan scoffed: "Want to take away my sister, we’ll see if I agree." His gaze firmly fixed on the red string wearing the Jade Pendant.

He did admire Xu Tianyi, but that was just as a friend. As a brother-in-law, naturally, he wouldn’t be so easily satisfied. He had to hone Xu Tianyi to be wholeheartedly devoted to his sister and to shine as brightly as she hoped he would.

Xu Tianyi: Am I not already doing that?
