Lu Gan looked at Song Ci’s clear eyes. He wanted her to stay, but he did not know how to word it. So, he slowly let go of her hand.
“It’s nothing.”
“Really?”
Song Ci was not convinced.
Lu Gan reached out and touched her face. Then. he kissed her forehead and gave her a gentle hug.
“Really.”
At that moment, he was too surprised and shocked to think properly. All he wanted was to spend time with her.
In the end, he tilted his head and kissed Song Ci softly on the ear before letting her go.
“Go wash up.”
Song Ci was kissed twice without any warning. Moreover, Lu Gan had accepted her kiss. This made her very happy. She laughed and ran away shyly.
Both of them were in a good mood. Today was a beautiful day.
After Song Ci took a shower, she called Song He.
“I was asleep when you called. Lu Gan hung up the phone. He was afraid that you’d disturb me.”
Upon hearing this, Song He smiled smugly. He knew that Song Ci wanted to return to the Song family badly. She would never dare to hang up on him. Song He snorted coldly and said, “Good thing it wasn’t you. Bring Lu Gan back to meet us while I have the time. How can you not see your parents after getting married?”
Song Ci could only sneer at Song He’s words. Nonetheless, she continued to act and said pitifully, “I don’t have a choice. Lu Gan won’t let me. There’s no way I’d go against his wishes.”
“He likes you very much, right? Can’t you control him?”
Song He roared angrily.
Song Ci continued to sigh.
“You’re his father-in-law now. Can you control him? What if he likes me today, but has a change of heart tomorrow? You know he’s a temperamental man. If he starts to hate me, what am I supposed to do?”
His wife had just come out of the showers and was already painting a bad image of him. Lu Gan felt very helpless. Then, he saw her waving at him excitedly. Lu Gan had no choice but to push his wheelchair over. Song Ci turned on the speaker and began writing something on a piece of paper again. At the same time, she said, “Dad, I really want to return to the Song family and you know that. However, Lu Gan won’t let me. I dare not disobey him. It’s not like you’ll accept me if he gets angry and divorces me.”
Song He felt that Song Ci was right. Still, he asked, “Why won’t he let you go home?”
Song Ci was waiting for him to utter these words. Her tone became sorrowful as she said, “Lu Gan feels that you don’t really care about me. He thinks that it’s better for us to end our relationship.”
Once again, Song He felt that Song Ci was right. Despite that, they could not end their relationship, not at the moment. He had not taken advantage of Song Ci yet.
“Why don’t you persuade him? He can’t even comply with such a small request?”
“He won’t listen to me…”
Song Ci had finally finished writing. She handed the piece of paper to Lu Gan.
Lu Gan took a look and Song Ci immediately shouted, “Hubby! Why did you snatch away my phone again?”
At the same time, she gestured for Lu Gan to begin his act.
Lu Gan shook his head dotingly. Then, he spoke into the phone, “Song Ci’s father, right? I’m Lu Gan.”
When Song He heard his voice, he immediately changed his tone.
“Hello, Lu Gan. Song Ci and I were just talking about you. When you have the time, the two of you should visit us.”
Lu Gan said coldly, “No need. You don’t care about my wife. Sign Ci and her mother had suffered for many years because of you. There’s no reason for her to return to the Song family.”
Song He disagreed.
“I admit that I had some conflicts with Song Ci’s mother. Despite that, I still care about Song Ci very much. Why else would I allow her to return home? In case you didn’t know, her mother had remarried and given birth to another child. If it wasn’t for her mother, I wouldn’t have let her go. I felt terrible.”
Lu Gan sneered, “Is that so?”
“Of course.”
“She has been away from home for many years. As a father, shouldn’t you compensate her?”
Lu Gan added indifferently, “For example, 100 million? 200 million? Give her some money.”
When Song He heard that, his expression immediately changed.
“Money is a different matter.”
Lu Gan sneered and instantly hung up the phone.
Song Ci was shocked. This was not in her script. Why was he acting so freely?
Lu Gan said calmly, “He’ll call back.”
Sure enough, just as he finished speaking, Song He called again.
Lu Gan glanced at Song Ci before picking up the phone. However, he did not say anything.
