“So what?” Bara said in surprise.

“I can’t come tomorrow night. There’s additional work. You know how it is at the end of the month,” Asron explained.

“It’s fine. When you’re free, you can follow along. If you’re busy, it’s okay. I’m just informing you,” Bara replied, trying to be understanding.

“Alright. After I finish work tomorrow, I’ll go straight there.”

“Okay.”

The call ended. Bara continued watching television. Feeling exhausted, he lay down on the sofa. A moment later, soft snoring filled the room. Bara had fallen asleep in an awkward position, the television now “watching” him instead.

In her rented room, Ling Er Tan, who had just returned from the hospital, sat silently on her worn-out sofa with a blank expression.

“Sis, you’re not working at the supermarket today, right?” asked Long Er Tan, who had just come home from school.

“No,” Ling Er Tan replied, forcing a weak smile.

“Are you sick?” Long Er Tan asked when he saw her pale face.

“No. I just want to rest.”

“But why

  • Chapter 70. Meeting the Rain

    Ling Er Tan, who did not have time to find shelter, continued on her way because the rain was so heavy that her clothes were completely soaked.“Ouch! It’s so cold,” Ling Er Tan whispered as she kept glancing around, looking for a motorcycle taxi that happened to be passing by.Not seeing any motorcycle taxis or regular taxis passing by, Ling Er Tan continued on her way amidst the heavy rain.“Isn’t that Ling Er Tan?! Why is she out playing in the rain?!” Bara muttered as he pulled his car to the side of the road.Bara, who had just returned home from a meeting that afternoon, decided to go straight home because he saw the weather was about to worsen. While driving carefully through the heavy rain, he suddenly noticed Ling Er Tan standing by the roadside.Bara continued to watch the drenched woman who was looking around anxiously, and he was certain that it was indeed Ling Er Tan.At first, Bara hesitated to approach Ling Er Tan, remembering the promise he had made to Asron yesterday.

    “After this, you don’t interfere with my relationship with Ling Er Tan again. Including meeting her secretly behind my back!” Asron said, looking very serious.Bara’s throat seemed to tighten when he heard his friend speak, and suddenly his chest rumbled violently.‘That’s how much Asron wants that woman,’ Bara thought, trying to calm his racing heart.“Okay. That’s no big deal. Anyway, don’t misunderstand, Asron. I met her yesterday just for work. After this, we have nothing else to do,” said Bara, explaining to Asron, who seemed to lift the corners of his lips slightly.Bara spoke fluently and seemed normal, but not with his heart. There was a feeling piercing deep inside, making his heart ache as he said those words.“Thank you, Baracio. I take your word for it.”“Ah! This Lord Asron, are you really dating Ling Er Tan?!” asked Li Bao Yu suddenly.“Not yet. But surely we will be together soon,” said Asron confidently.“Yes, if it hasn’t happened yet, why do you have to be so possess

  • Chapter 68. Matchmaking Aunt Nay

    “Cannot. Li Bao Yu has to stay behind this, because he has to take care of Aunt Nay, Aunt Ming, and also my daughter. Uncle Burhan’s son will definitely come after me after this,” said Bara, fully calculating.“That is true. But how about I take care of Mrs. Nayzilla and the others?”“You mean, Uncle Li?!”“I will stay at the Young Master’s residence to oversee everything. So Li Bao Yu will remain the key witness,” Li Zhang Wei explained slowly.“Does Uncle Li like my Aunt Nayzilla?” Bara asked, looking at Li Zhang Wei probingly.“What?! It—it’s not like that,” Li Zhang Wei stuttered, causing Bara to smile slightly.“Why does the old man always run away? Hasn’t Uncle been living alone and unmarried? Has Uncle Li actually liked Aunt Nay all this time, even before he got married?!”“Actually, Uncle… well, that’s how it is.”“Haha! Finally, my guess has been proven. Alright, then immediately propose to Aunt Nay and have the wedding as soon as possible.”“W-what?!” Li Zhang Wei nervously

  • Chapter 67. The First Trial

    Bara sat on the bed for a moment, then stood up. He approached the graves of his father and mother, touching them alternately and pressing a kiss on each.“Just go home first. Mom and Dad should be happy there, because Bara is already living happily here too,” Bara said, his bloodshot eyes holding back tears and the tightness in his chest.Bara walked outside and got into his car. He immediately drove to Aunt Nay's residence to pick up his daughter, who had been staying there for two days. Bara intended to spend Sunday enjoying time with his only daughter at Aunt Nay’s house.“Bara, stay here. Look, Bellyca is comfortable and happy living here. After all, Auntie is alone in this house, and it’s very quiet,” said Aunt Nay as they sat in the back garden, watching Bellyca and Aunt Ming play by the koi pond.“Aunt, can Bellyca and Bi Ming stay with you? Bara will stay at that house for a while.”“Of course you can. But why don’t you just stay here as well? Who will take care of you there?

    “Then just throw it away! What the hell am I keeping it here for?!” Bara retorted as he immediately stood up.“This is the money I promised! The PIN is on the back,” Bara added, handing over an ATM card.“Thank you, sir. I really need this money,” said Ling Er Tan happily, then bowed respectfully to Bara several times.“Wha—has my phone been found?” Ling Er Tan asked softly, looking at Bara.“If you want that ugly cell phone of yours again, accept and use the cell phone I sent yesterday. Later I will look for it until I can,” Bara said earnestly.“Alright, I’ll definitely use it. Thank you again, sir.”Bara immediately left Ling Er Tan, who still looked down at him respectfully.Ling Er Tan, seeing that, immediately ran after Bara and got into the car just as Bara had started the engine.Bara drove his car along the streets that looked deserted. The two of them remained silent, not saying a single word.Ling Er Tan, seeing that Bara was silent and not daring to speak, only glanced at

  • Chapter 65. A Beautiful Appearance

    “What?! Is he still sleeping?” Bara thought as he looked at his bed.Ling Er Tan seemed to be still fast asleep; her position hadn’t changed at all from last night.Bara stood up and walked toward Ling Er Tan, adjusting the blanket that had fallen and revealed her cleavage, due to a button that he had untied yesterday.After that, he immediately went into the bathroom to clean himself.Ling Er Tan started to squirm on the bed when she heard the splashing of water from the bathroom.“Who! Why am I sleeping here?! Didn’t I sleep downstairs last night, huh?!” Ling Er Tan exclaimed, surprised.“Could it h—he?!” thought Ling Er Tan as she pushed the blanket down.“Oh, thank goodness. Everything is still intact,” Ling Er Tan thought with relief, then sat on the side of the bed, her legs dangling down.Ling Er Tan waited for Bara to come out of the bathroom, because she couldn’t hold her need to pee any longer.“Click!” The bathroom door opened.Bara stepped out with wet hair, only a towel w
