Chapter 10 - 005: This family is really dramatic!
Yi Luowa pouted, "Ugh... I wish I weren't their child. If I weren't, then I wouldn't be so conflicted or angry."
The Second Uncle stroked Yi Luowa's hair remorsefully, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have told you all those things from back then. If you didn't know anything, maybe you'd live a happier life than now."
"Are you kidding me? Don't take all the blame onto yourself. I'm already this old, seventeen years without seeing my own parents—can I possibly be happy?" Yi Luowa flopped onto the carpet and said in a soft voice, "According to what you said, it was Yi Weibang who insisted on sending me away, but Xi Meichen was against it. Yet from what I've observed, in this household, Xi Meichen is the one whose word carries the most authority..."
"Yi Luowa!" Second Uncle called out his niece's full name in displeasure.
When Yi Luowa heard this, she immediately knew Second Uncle was angry. She blinked innocently, "Second Uncle, Luowa's here~"
"Do you even know what you were just saying?" Second Uncle poked her forehead with a heavy finger.
Yi Luowa rubbed her forehead where it was poked, her lips pursed, "I was just analyzing the situation. Do you have to be so rough with me for that?"
"No matter what their faults are, they're still your parents. You're not allowed to call them by their names directly, and you're definitely not allowed to call your dad 'Uncle,' got it?"
"Then I'll just call him Big Uncle!" Yi Luowa raised her hand to protect her forehead as she said this.
Yi Weiyang, both amused and exasperated, pulled her ponytail lightly, "I've spoiled you rotten! Even though they haven't seen you in seventeen years, they still care about you deeply and often ask me about you."
"Hehe, I'm not mad at you anymore. Let me help you onto the bed to rest, then I'm heading out to explore the grand capital city." Yi Luowa pushed Second Uncle to the edge of the bed.
