Chapter 57: I Don’t Want Insomnia at Night
After a moment of surprise, Chu Luo smiled at him. “Who said I wasn’t Chu Luo? Didn’t you investigate me?”
Li Yan narrowed his eyes at her, anger flickering across his heart.
It was because he had investigated her and couldn’t find out anything about her other identity besides Chu Luo that he became even more suspicious.
However, it was definitely impossible to get anything out of this little thing. He wasn’t in a hurry. He retracted his gaze and continued walking.
Chu Luo followed him.
When the two of them had walked out of the training grounds, passed by the main road, and turned towards a corridor, Li Yan suddenly said, “It’s not difficult for me to transfer your household register secretly.”
Chu Luo was displeased. “Then why didn’t you agree?”
“You’re not yet 18 years old. According to Imperial law, after the college entrance examination results are out, the application must be signed by the parents. (This part was made up by the author out of necessity.)”
“Who created this law? What if a person doesn’t have parents?”
“They must show evidence that they’re an orphan.”
“…” Chu Luo was silent for a few seconds before she suddenly reacted. “Why are you telling me this?”
Li Yan tilted his head to look at her hopping about, then retracted his gaze. “Your household register must be transferred to the name of a dignified person. Only then will there be no unnecessary trouble.”
“Uh…” Chu Luo rolled her eyes and looked at him with bright eyes. “Then transfer it to your name.”
In any case, she would be 18 years old in about a month. By then, she would be able to live independently.
When Li Yan heard this, a dark glint flashed across his eyes.
He didn’t agree or disagree and continued walking forward.
Chu Luo kept looking at him. Seeing that he didn’t answer for a long time, she followed him back to his residence.
Li Yan’s residence was simple and elegant. The decorations in the entire house had cold color tones.
After Chu Luo walked in, she sized up the entire living room and couldn’t help but comment, “No wonder you always have a cold face. If I lived in a place like this, I’d also have a cold face.”
Li Yan walked to the sofa and sat down. With a cold expression, he gestured for her to come over. “Go make a pot of tea.”
“You’re asking me?” Chu Luo pointed at her nose with her finger and widened her eyes in disbelief. “How dare you ask me to make tea for you!”
Li Yan glanced at her and said coldly, “You still need my help to transfer your household register after you turn 18 years old. Is it too much for you to make me a pot of tea?”
Chu Luo nodded in her heart. ‘That’s right! You’re already going overboard by asking me, a High Priestess, to make tea for you!’
With a straight face, she said, “Not at all.”
After saying that, she walked towards the spot that he was pointing at. It was a bar counter. There was a lot of space behind the bar counter, and it was divided into three areas. There was a wine cabinet, a coffee machine, and a tea set.
Chu Luo walked behind the bar counter and was attracted by the various English words inside.
She looked over at the bottles of alcohol and translated the sentences from each bottle one by one. She was so pleased with herself that she obviously forgot about the important matter.
Li Yan sat on the sofa and twirled the Buddha beads in his hand as he observed her but didn’t remind her.
By the time Chu Luo remembered to make tea, Li Yan had already stood up from the sofa.
He walked out of the bar, looked at her, and said, “You can leave now.”
Chu Luo blinked. “You’re not drinking tea anymore?”
“I don’t want to lose sleep tonight.”
After saying that, Li Yan walked upstairs.
Chu Luo watched as he walked up the stairs. The corners of her lips curled up in satisfaction as she walked towards the door.
When Chu Luo returned to the Wei residence, it was already 10:30 pm.
The lights in the villa were switched off. She didn’t mind it and walked straight to her room.
When she opened the door, she didn’t expect Chu Zhengyang to be waiting for her anxiously.
When Chu Zhengyang saw Chu Luo, tears flowed down his face. He looked extremely regretful.
He quickly walked over. “Luoluo, where did you go? Did you want to scare Daddy to death?”
With that, he wanted to pull Chu Luo into his arms.
Chu Luo shifted to the side and sneered.
Chu Zhengyang’s body trembled. “Luoluo, I know you won’t forgive Daddy and Mommy, but your sister’s condition at that time…”
“Shut up!” Chu Luo wasn’t interested in listening to him play the emotional card. With a cold expression, she said, “Since you’ve chosen Chu Ting, stop pretending in front of me. Otherwise, I will feel disgusted.”
Chu Zhengyang seemed to have been dealt a blow by her words and staggered backward.
In the next moment, he anxiously said, “Luoluo, I know you hate us, but don’t be afraid. The Gu worm on you can definitely be transferred away. Daddy will bring you to Master Xiang immediately.”
“Ha!” Chu Luo looked at him. “Since Mom and Sister deliberately transferred the Gu worm into my body, would they let you transfer the Gu worm away again?”
Chu Zhengyang immediately replied, “I call the shots on this matter.”
“Is that so?”
“Of course. Don’t run around anymore. Daddy will arrange it immediately. I promise that the Gu worm in your body will be transferred away in the next two days.”
After saying that, he turned and walked upstairs.
Chu Luo looked at the closed door and smiled. She walked over to pick up her phone that had been on the bedside table and sent Wei Wei a message.
Not long after she put down her phone, she heard a dispute outside the door.
Chu Luo opened the door and walked out.
Indeed, Wei Wei and Chu Zhengyang were arguing in a remote corner.
Wei Wei said, “Tingting’s body is still so weak. What if she finds out that you transferred the Gu worm from Chu Luo’s body and becomes emotionally unstable? Master Xiang said that she mustn’t be agitated while she is recuperating.”
Chu Zhengyang was also furious. “We can just hide this from her. Tingting is our child, but so is Luoluo. Do you really want to see Luoluo being tortured by the Gu worm?”
Hearing this, Chu Luo quickly said to Phoenix in a whisper, “Stimulate Wei Wei’s brain.”
A red line quickly entered Wei Wei’s mind.
In the next second, Wei Wei flew into a rage and shouted at him, “She’s not my child! I only have Tingting as my daughter. She deserves to die!”
Pa!
After the loud slap, Wei Wei covered her face and was stunned for a while. She glared at Chu Zhengyang in disbelief and lost control of her emotions.
“Chu Zhengyang, how dare you hit me! If not for the protection of the Wei family all these years, you and that wretched girl would have been dealt with by those people until not even ashes were left. How dare you hit me!”
