Her Son's Puppy Love Made Qian Renxue Cry
The folding paper fell to his side, and Lin Luo was startled, raising his foot as if Qian Renxue was throwing something at him.
"I'm sorry, Luo'er, Mommy didn't mean to. Did I scare you?"
Qian Renxue looked at him with a smile.
Lin Luo shook his head, Qian Renxue hummed in agreement, and then lowered her head to continue handling government affairs, but the smile on her face disappeared quickly.
This made Lin Luo realize that her smile just now was fake...
He walked over to Qian Renxue, stood on tiptoe to look at the contents of the folded book, then turned back to look at Qian Renxue's cold face, feeling that something was not quite right.
Qian Renxue was definitely in a bad mood, but it couldn't possibly be because of these memorials.
Lin Luo climbed onto Qian Renxue's lap, hugged her slender waist, and looked up at her. "Mommy, why isn't it over yet?"
"Busy."
She replied with a single word, without bowing her head.
Lin Luo inhaled the familiar scent emanating from her, resting his head on her chest, finding this position the most comfortable.
The gentle heartbeat and warmth of Qian Renxue's body gave him a sense of inexplicable peace.
A moment later, noticing that Lin Luo had fallen silent, Qian Renxue looked down and realized that her son had fallen asleep in her arms.
I can fall asleep while sitting...
Qian Renxue gripped the memorial and tapped it lightly on the table, feeling a strange tightness in her chest.
Is it true, as my mother said, that I'm too controlling of Luo'er...? Qian Renxue reflected in her heart.
It's normal for children to grow up; they'll have their own ideas and stop listening to their mothers when making decisions.
Even in the future, he will have his own family and eventually leave me...
But that's a story for another time.
Qian Renxue put down the folding book, wrapped her arms around Lin Luo's body, and gently pressed her cheek against his head.
Honestly, why am I getting angry with my child...
It's not that he doesn't love me.
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue felt both amused and exasperated by her own sulking, but she also sighed silently.
Holding the sleeping Lin Luo in her arms, Qian Renxue walked out of the study and headed towards the bedroom.
She put Lin Luo on the bed and instructed She Long to prepare a meal.
At that moment, Qian Renxue saw Lin Luo's schoolbag.
She stole a glance at Lin Luo, but couldn't resist her curiosity and went to the schoolbag. When she opened it, the flowers inside were indeed gone.
It seems it really was sent out!
Tolerate...
I had just convinced myself that it wasn't worth getting angry over something like this.
Endure, continue to endure.
I endured it again and again.
Fed up!
How old are you? You couldn't possibly be dating a younger girl at the college, could you?
After much thought, Qian Renxue felt that it was unlikely that Lin Luo would give it to Bibi Dong, so it could only be given to someone in the academy.
She closed the bag with a bit more force.
Qian Renxue sat on the edge of the bed, her head resting on her hands, deep in thought about the problem.
That's right, I'm angry now not because he didn't give it to me, not because I'm petty, not because I'm controlling, but simply because as a mother, I can't let my child be influenced by women so early on.
Women only slow down the speed at which you draw your sword! Of course, this doesn't include your own mother.
Qian Renxue suddenly realized that she was very enlightened. After thinking it through, she instantly had a legitimate reason to be angry.
"You brat! Wake up right now!"
Qian Renxue stood up, put her hands on her hips, raised her eyebrows, stepped forward, flipped Lin Luo over, and slapped him hard on the buttocks.
"Ah?!"
Lin Luo woke up with a start.
Qian Renxue pointed at him, but the words caught in her throat. How could she ask him a question in a way that made it seem like a mother was worried about her son's healthy development...?
Oh, right!
Qian Renxue said with extreme seriousness, "She Long told me that you secretly prepared flowers last night. Were you dating someone at the academy?!"
"She Long, you traitor!" This was the first thought that popped into Lin Luo's head.
His eyes darted around, preparing to come up with some excuse, when Qian Renxue said, "Don't try to deceive your mother; the consequences will be severe."
Lin Luo immediately shook his head, his survival instincts kicking in, and said, "It's for a girl, but not for dating!"
No, that's not a good answer. He should have asked her in return, "Mom, what is love?" That way, Qian Renxue would be speechless and wouldn't be able to get angry.
As expected, Lin Luo's denial had the opposite effect.
Qian Renxue's face turned red with anger.
She didn't care whether they were dating or not; as long as she heard that flowers were being given to a girl, any denial was useless.
"If you're not dating, why are you sending her flowers?"
Lin Luo's eyes darted around again. How could Qian Renxue not understand her son's little schemes? She immediately turned her head to look for some tools, shouting, "I'll teach you to date so early! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"
Just a moment later, as if she had thought of something, she took out a rolling pin from her personal Soul Tool.
Lin Luo was surprised. "Why do you carry a rolling pin with you?"
"None of your business!"
They wouldn't actually punish me with a rolling pin, would they? When I was a baby, Mingdu hit me, they only used stockings.
Does this mean that Qian Renxue cannot tolerate the concept of puppy love? Is puppy love a death sentence for her?
Wasn't Ning a love-obsessed character in the original novel?!
The rolling pin was quickly pointed at Lin Luo, who immediately raised his hands in surrender.
Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes flashed with ruthlessness. "I'm giving you one last chance. Didn't you start dating earlier?"
Lin Luo: "If I deny it, will you force me to confess?"
"..." Qian Renxue
It does seem to make some sense. If Lin Luo denies it, Qian Renxue will be even angrier.
Sending flowers to a girl is clearly an act of early romantic relationship. If he denies it, then he is committing both early romantic relationship and lying to his mother, which is a double offense and deserves severe punishment.
Qian Renxue pressed a rolling pin against Lin Luo's forehead and said coldly, "You just need to tell the truth."
Hearing the commotion inside the palace, She Long clicked his tongue and asked, "What's wrong with that mother and son?"
The Pufferfish tilted its ear and said, "It seems the young master is having a crush, and he's very angry and is scolding him."
After hearing this, She Long, "No wonder you prepared flowers and gifts yesterday; I thought they were for the young master."
However, he inexplicably felt that the young master was angry because "he didn't give her flowers".
There was no other reason; having spent so much time with Qian Renxue, She Long had come to understand her personality to some extent.
"I... I'm in a relationship."
Qian Renxue's arm trembled, and she immediately drew her sword, shouting, "Kneel down!"
Lin Luo knelt on the bed.
"How can you face the ancestors of the Qian Family of families?!"
Lin Luo, puzzled, asked, "Isn't this charge a bit too serious?"
"How dare you! You dare talk back! How could you do this to me?!"
Qian Renxue poked Lin Luo's forehead with a rolling pin, her nose tingled, and her eyes even reddened slightly.
Just as Lin Luo was silent, unsure how to answer, Qian Renxue suddenly turned around, wiped away her tears, and walked out.
She arrived at the palace entrance, helplessly crying to She Long, "How do I discipline a child who's in a relationship so early? I don't know, but I'm so angry..."
Suddenly, the side quest that made Qian Renxue cry was marked as completed, and 2000 Lottery Points were credited to my account.
