Without Luo Chen, This Family Would Fall Apart (Continued)

"I'm not troubled, don't blame yourself." Wei Yenwu's heart also trembled, and he said in the same firm voice, "It was my fault for not planning things well back then and failing to protect you."

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be arguing here."

"If it weren't for me, Huijie wouldn't have deliberately provoked Governor Wei."

Talulah spoke, her eyes grew sorrowful.

Chen Huijie quickly explained that she felt Talulah had been brought to tears by her argument with Wei Yenwu.

"No, I'm not angry with him, it's just... I just feel he's not responsible enough."

"... I."

After listening to Talulah's words in silence, Wei Yenwu felt as devastated as a field ravaged by a storm.

He knew he wasn't perfect, but he had always tried his best to do everything well and take responsibility for everything. However, now, his family's words were like a mirror, mercilessly reflecting his inner shortcomings and negligence.

"I didn't do well..." Wei Yenwu silently repeated this sentence in his heart, as if only in this way could he slightly alleviate the guilt and pain in his heart.

He understood that self-blame was a way of self-reflection, but at this moment, it felt like poison, making it hard for him to breathe.

However, just as he was sinking into the abyss of self-blame, Talulah's voice rang out again, breaking the silence.

Her voice was gentle yet firm, like the warm and bright sunshine of spring.

"No, Governor Wei has done his best. If someone else had been in charge, the result might have been even worse. It's all because of me."

Like Wei Yenwu, Chen Huijie is someone who responds better to gentle persuasion than force.

She will be unconvinced if others point out her mistakes.

Now that Wei Yenwu is reflecting on his actions with a pained expression, she also realizes that her attitude has become somewhat arrogant.

Regardless of whether Wei Yenwu's past actions were appropriate or not, he was, after all, the one who had supported him as he grew up.

I should also reflect on my own attitude.

Not to mention he still had duties with the Lungmen Guard Department; even if he were to leave, he should have handed over his responsibilities beforehand.

"I also have my problems; I was too impulsive."

"I acknowledge that we have properly handled the handover of our work after we leave, and I accept the punishment and consequences."

"But I don't regret my decision. If I had to choose again, I would still go to Chernobog to save Talulah."

"I don't think I did anything wrong on this point, even if Governor Wei's reprimand was correct."

After hearing this, Wei Yenwu raised his eyebrows. He always felt that Chen Huijie still had a hint of resentment.

If only Chen Huijie were half as worry-free as Talulah.

"Now that you, Huijie, have recognized your own problems, and Governor Wei has reflected on his past shortcomings, let's put this conflict aside and remain a harmonious family."

Talulah's tone was slightly pleading as she gently took Chen Huijie's wrist.

"I..."

Chen Huijie scratched her head, looking conflicted. She was resentful of Wei Yenwu, but she didn't want to hurt Talulah's feelings.

Finally, Chen Huijie, extremely conflicted, simply gave up and shrugged:

"I don't really care, I just wonder if Governor Wei could please stop targeting me..."

How did I target you!

In a fit of anger, Wei Yenwu shouted it out loud.

He apologized and reflected on his mistakes to Talulah, so why did Chen Huijie jump up in anger?

In all these years, how has he ever mistreated her?

If it weren't for me, could a woman with such low emotional intelligence have become a senior superintendent in the Lungmen Guard Department?

Why do I feel like I owe her something?

He, Wei Yenwu, owes debts to everyone, but he doesn't owe you Chen Huijie!!!

"Chen Huijie!"

Wei Yenwu clenched his fist, wanting to have a proper talk with Chen Huijie.

And then, in the next instant!

Wei Yenwu's roar caused Talulah's tears to stream down her face.

"As expected... it's all because of me that I've caused Governor Wei so much trouble."

"Ever since Huijie and I arrived in Lungmen, Governor Wei has been unhappy. It's all because of me. I think I should go back to Ursus."

"If it weren't for me, Huijie wouldn't have argued with you."

"Without me, you would definitely be a happy family."

"Little... Talulah, no, you misunderstood, I wasn't yelling at you. Sigh..."

Wei Yenwu, who had absolutely no idea how to coax a girl, suddenly became completely at a loss.

Chen Huijie has been strong-willed since childhood and has rarely cried.

As for Wenyue, he was often the one being coaxed.

Now, my niece, whom I haven't seen for decades, cried the moment we met.

He just felt like he deserved to die.

"Wei Yenwu, look at you! You've made Talulah so sad."

Chen Huijie was already somewhat resentful and in a fit of anger, and seeing Talulah sobbing uncontrollably only made her angrier.

However.

She regretted it the instant she shouted it out.

Talulah looked at Chen Huijie's somewhat surprised expression, as if she were very hurt.

It was at this moment that Talulah lowered her head even further.

She clutched her chest, slowly walked to the window, and whispered sadly:

"See? I shouldn't have been here. As long as I'm here, Huijie will argue with Governor Wei, and it's all my fault."

Talulah's long, silver hair, shimmering with the sunlight streaming through the window, was even more striking.

At that moment, her shoulders trembled slightly, which made Wei Yenwu and Chen Huijie feel a pang of heartache.

"I..."

Talulah's voice trembled, as if she still wanted to persuade Chen Huijie and Wei Yenwu to ease their relationship.

But then, as if remembering something, he sighed, "I guess I should leave after all."

She gently wiped away her tears, turned and walked towards the door, as if trying to escape this place that had brought misfortune to everyone.

"Talulah! Don't go!" Chen Huijie and Wei Yenwu said in unison.

The two acted swiftly, approaching from both sides in perfect unison, blocking Talulah's escape route.

Wei Yenwu's usually stern face now showed a hint of unease and embarrassment.

He forced a slightly stiff smile, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

"I'm not angry with Chen Huijie anymore. Your return hasn't caused us any trouble, so please don't blame yourself."

He took a deep breath and continued:

"Before you came along, our relationship with Chen Huijie was often tense, sometimes even involving arguments and dissatisfaction, but those were just superficial phenomena."

"Our disagreements stemmed more from differing ideologies than from genuine hostility. We never truly held those unpleasant things in our hearts."

Chen Huijie nodded in agreement, her eyes filled with concern and expectation for Talulah.

"Yes, Talulah. Our disputes and conflicts are only temporary."

"We have always trusted each other."

"Moreover, I think Governor Wei is right. I have such a bad temper, I deserve to be criticized."

Talulah's eyes lit up when she heard their conversation, but they quickly dimmed again.

Are you telling the truth? Are you really not arguing?

Talulah said somewhat uncertainly.

Luo Chen, who plays Talulah, knows that you can only listen to half of what the arrogant person says.

Although they promise not to argue now, they might start arguing again in a few minutes.

If you want them to stop arguing, you need to let them take this opportunity to have a complete heart-to-heart talk.

"Of course not!" Chen Huijie and Wei Yenwu said in unison again.

Talulah wiped away the last traces of tears from the corners of her eyes, revealing a warm smile:

"I just felt that you two truly cared about each other. Huijie, although I'm not by your side, Wei Yenwu has always fulfilled his responsibility as an uncle and has been taking care of you, right?"

"In that case, why don't you tell Governor Wei, 'Uncle, I love you,' okay?"

"This is to thank him for his continued support and help in your growth."

"Uncle, I love you? Talulah, you you you you... what are you saying?!" Chen Huijie was immediately startled and took two steps back, her cheeks flushed red as she spoke.

She had just decided not to be angry with Wei Yenwu, but it hadn't come to the point where she would say "Uncle, I love you" yet.

Besides.

In Yan, family members never express affection by saying "I love you".

More often, it's the quiet concern and actions taken.

However, this cannot be blamed on Talulah, since she grew up in Ursus.

The local customs and traditions are different from those of Yan.

Chen Huijie remained silent for a long time, while Talulah seemed to have figured something out:

"Huijie, you were just giving me the runaround, weren't you? I'd better leave."

"No! Don't just think about leaving."

"Then why don't you express your love to Governor Wei? Don't you like this uncle?"

Talulah's words pushed Chen Huijie into a corner.

Gradually, Chen Huijie's eyes brightened again.

There seems to be a touch of resoluteness in this enlightenment, like a warrior who bravely faces death for his beliefs.

"Uncle!!! I love you. If it weren't for your constant support, I might have died on some street in Lungmen long ago."

Wei Yenwu raised his head, his eyes shining with emotion.

He thought he would never be able to melt the ice in Chen Huijie's heart.

I never expected to hear these words from Chen Huijie today.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Wei Yenwu trembled, his mind blank except for his words.

Wei Yenwu was so moved that his mind went blank, but Luo Chen remained perfectly clear-headed.

Is this something that can only move one person?

Hurry up and give me my lines.

"Governor Wei, you should say to Huijie, do you know how much your uncle loves you? Every step you take in your growth, every achievement you make, fills your uncle with immense pride and joy."

On the other side.

Upon receiving news that Chen Huijie and Talulah had returned to Lungmen, Wen Wenyue immediately dropped what she was doing and headed toward Wei Yenwu's office.

She understood the personalities of Wei Yenwu and Chen Huijie.

Even if the two of them don't actually fight or hurl insults at each other when they meet, the atmosphere is still incredibly tense.

Wenyue was already used to their conflicts.
