BXBX NOVEL Chapter 29
Luo Jin’an was stunning as he stood there. An incomparable charm filled his entire body. Luo Jin’an felt that Su Binglan’s toying had made him smile, and his heart softened.
Su Fengmao felt light-headed listening to his daughter’s coquetry. “All right, whatever you say, daughter.”
Of course, Su Binglan wouldn’t let Su Fengmao go home on his own. She and Luo Jin’an sent Su Fengmao back to the house before leaving for the mountain.
As they walked up the back of the mountain, Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an and said, “Y-You don’t have to accompany me to the back of the mountain. You can wait for me here, and then we can go home together once I come out of the mountain. Don’t worry. I won’t tell my father about this.”
Su Binglan felt that Luo Jin’an was weak and needed a good rest. She didn’t want him to tire himself out. However, there weren’t any roads near the mountain as tall plants covered the land.
If Luo Jin’an accidentally fell, Su Binglan would have to take responsibility for her husband, getting distracted from collecting supplies. She felt it was better if Luo Jin’an waited for her nearby so they could go home together when she came out of the mountain.
“Ahem! Hack!”
Luo Jin’an put his hand to his lips and coughed. Then he said with a clear tone, “I’m fine. Father-in-law told me to accompany you up the mountain.”
Su Binglan then used a stick to push the tall grass aside as she looked back at Luo Jin’an. She thought even a slight breeze could blow him away. “Why didn’t I know how obedient you are toward my father?”
Luo Jinan said in a low voice, “I just promised Father-in-law I would take care of you. You do know he’s just worried about you, right?”
Su Binglan said helplessly, “I’m not a child. I’ll be fine.”
Su Binglan had a lot of things to look for and didn’t want Luo Jin’an to discover her secret. Luo Jin’an would find out Su Binglan’s secrets if he followed her to the back of the mountain.
Luo Jin’an insisted, “I’ll stay with you.”
Su Binglan stomped her feet anxiously and said, “Honestly, there’s no need.”
Luo Jin’an looked at Su Binglan profoundly as his gaze was somewhat mesmerizing. Strangely, it caused Su Binglan to quiet down as she felt much calmer. She felt Luo Jin’an’s expression was charming.
Seeing as Su Binglan had quieted down, Luo Jin’an gently said, “You just mentioned you wouldn’t go west if I told you to go east.”
“Huh?” Su Binglan was surprised to hear that.
‘Did I say that just now?’
Su Binglan pondered, and sure enough, she did say that. She met Luo Jin’an’s eyes and said guiltily, “I-I only said that to please my father.”
“I know, but a gentleman never goes back on his word, and I would never disobey your father.” Luo Jin’an would always keep his word. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made a promise.
Su Binglan became speechless when she heard Luo Jin’an’s words.
Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an’s body from head to toe and said, “Can you live up to your promise with your body in such a condition?”
Luo Jin’an’s eyes darkened. “Are you doubting my abilities?”
“Huh?” Su Binglan was stunned. She felt something was wrong with what Luo Jin’an had just said, but she couldn’t put her finger on it.
Luo Jin’an was weak, but Su Binglan didn’t know his true identity. She looked at Luo Jin’an and met his soul-sucking eyes. It was as if Luo Jin’an wanted to swallow Su Binglan whole.
