The scene rewinds to a few minutes earlier.
Living room.
Luo Shuning curled up on the sofa, her eyes fixed on the chat interface on her phone, her fingers unconsciously brushing the edges of the screen.
Her heart was pounding with nervousness.
Would Uncle agree?
What would Mom think?
What would happen to them after she and Gu Luo got together?
Luo Shuning’s mind was a whirlwind of anxious thoughts.
But for her, as long as she could be with Gu Luo, she was willing—even if it meant a future without the legally recognized marriage certificate.
She couldn’t sacrifice her mother and uncle.
On the other side of the sofa, Luo Shuhe watched her sister’s tense demeanor and, after a moment of hesitation, spoke up to comfort her:
"Sis, take a deep breath. Calm down."
After all, beneath the surface of this seemingly peaceful household, an unprecedented storm was about to erupt.
All it would take was for the Gu father and son to drop the bombshell.
"Haaah..."
Hearing this, Luo Shuning set her phone down and exhaled deeply before turning to Luo Shuhe with a slightly odd expression. "Shuhe... aren’t you nervous at all?"
"Why should I be?" Luo Shuhe replied with perfect composure, leisurely swinging her pale legs.
"Once Uncle and Mom give their approval, Big Bao and I will be together soon. And when that happens, I won’t let you interfere anymore."
"What if Uncle doesn’t agree?"
Luo Shuning pressed her lips together. "...Uncle is reasonable. He’ll agree."
Even though she was almost certain, facing such a life-changing moment still made her unbearably tense.
"I said if—if Uncle doesn’t agree, will you give up?" Luo Shuhe asked, seemingly nonchalant as she switched the leg she was swinging.
"No. Even if Uncle and Mom both refuse, I won’t give up." Luo Shuning’s expression turned resolute. "Even if we have to elope, we won’t give up."
Hearing this, Luo Shuhe fell silent for a long moment before letting out a soft sigh.
"Then good luck, sis."
With that, she slowly stood up and walked toward the balcony with uncharacteristically heavy steps.
The gentle breeze carried a faint chill as it drifted through the sheer curtains, tousling the girl’s hair.
Luo Shuhe pressed a hand to her chest, feeling the rapid thudding of her heart, and exhaled deeply.
How could she not be nervous?
The tangled web of emotions between the three of them had finally reached the moment of truth.
Just then, her phone rang abruptly.
Luo Shuhe glanced at the screen and immediately answered.
Suppressing the turmoil inside, she forced her voice into its sweetest tone.
"Dad."
......
A minivan emblazoned with the bold logo of [Luo Shen Grand Hotel] pulled up to the curb.
The tires scraped lightly against the pavement as it came to a stop.
The moment it did, Luo Shuhe eagerly stepped out, accompanied by a hotel staff member, and hurried toward the [Meat Galore] food stall.
"Dad!"
She called out cheerfully from a distance.
"Sweetheart!"
Gu Feng waved with a grin.
A picture-perfect scene of father-daughter affection.
Luo Shuhe quickly reached the table, greeted Gu Feng, then immediately crouched down.
Just as she was about to check on Gu Luo’s condition, the man who had been slumped over the table suddenly sat up.
Gu Luo’s face was flushed red. He let out a drunken chuckle before turning his head toward Luo Shuhe, his gaze unfocused.
"Shu... Shuhe... why... why do you have... three heads...?"
His words were thick with intoxication, his tongue stumbling over itself.
Seeing that even in his drunken state, Gu Luo hadn’t mistaken her for someone else, Luo Shuhe’s heart trembled.
Uncontainable joy burst inside her like fireworks.
I knew it, Baby. You’re just playing hard to get.
