Chapter 231 - 220: Did I Say Something Wrong? (Third Update)
"Thank you!" Tong Airui smiled and lightly patted her cheek. "You’re about to start school soon. If Grandpa stays permanently, I’ll need to first arrange a place for him to live. Otherwise, you’ll have to deal with him every day when you get home, and that’d be too tiring for you."
"How about I stay on campus? That’d be more convenient."
Tong Airui looked at her with a blank expression.
Yi Luowa started feeling uneasy under his gaze. "Did I say something wrong?"
"No, you didn’t!"
Yi Luowa noticed something off in his tone and pouted. "If you’re not okay with me staying on campus, I could live at an apartment nearby. It shouldn’t be far from school. I’ll ask Second Uncle for the exact address when I get back."
"No need to ask your Second Uncle. I have an apartment near the school, but honestly, I worry about you living alone there. It’s not like the Duke’s estate, and you’d encounter all kinds of people."
After what happened last time, everyone was concerned about her. Yi Luowa didn’t want Tong Airui to worry about her, so she quickly suggested, "Then let’s not trouble anyone. I’ll just live at the Duke’s estate. Honestly, Grandpa isn’t that hard to get along with. Once you find the right approach, it’ll all be fine."
"Let’s wait and see how things go first." Tong Airui leaned back against his chair and tilted his head to look at her. "We have a big family with lots of things going on. Dealing with it all every day—doesn’t it tire you out?"
Yi Luowa shrugged indifferently. "Not really. In fact, it feels more like a real family."
Tong Airui raised his hand to gently ruffle her hair. For someone so young, it really wasn’t easy for her.
Yi Luowa leaned naturally onto his shoulder, silently thanking the heavens for bringing Tong Airui into her life.
