Chapter 470 - Calm Before The Storm

'Pak'

His head whipped to the side as Shi Xia gave him a tight slap, ''How dare you?!"

Jun Boyan froze. This was probably the very first time that he got slapped in his life. His jaws clenched and his fingers curled into a fist.

He closed his eyes and inhaled a deep breath, 'It's your fault, Jun Boyan. You lied to her and betrayed her trust in the first place,' With that thought in his mind, he raised his head to look at her.

''How dare you come to hover around my daughter after everything you have done?" Shi Xia tried to calm herself, ''You are Shen Lihua's son and I see you as my own child. That is the reason why I wanted both of you to be together. But you lied to me about your relationship and you broke my daughter's heart. I still see you as my child. But do you know you are testing my patience right now?"

''Testing your patience? By doing what?" Jun Boyan sighed.

''By existing in my daughter's life. She was heartbroken and you should leave her be rather than persisting in whatever you are doing. How can you two time my precious child?''

''I… am two-timing?" Jun Boyan glanced at the lady as if she was growing two horns on her head.

Shi Xia frowned, ''Are you still trying to hide it? Did you know how much Luoluo cried after she saw you holding hands with that girl in front of the University? Even I was there.''

Jun Boyan stood rooted to his spot as if he was thunderstruck. He could not quite believe where it proceeded. And after all this, Shii Luo was even suggesting for them to keep this a secret from her mother.

For what? So that her misunderstandings about him could continue growing till they turn into a mountain and she detests the mention of his name?

Jun Boyan could imagine himself kneeling in front of a stern-faced Shi Xia, asking for her daughter's hand for marriage while she ignored him.

He could not even imagine what would happen if she told his mother that he was two-timing with Shi Luo. His mother would probably skin him alive or roast him.

''Aunt, there is a little misunderstanding here,'' he glanced at her pitifully.

Shi Xia who was stern till this point glanced at the man who suddenly appeared like an abandoned puppy, ''What are you talking about?''

It worked on both mother and daughter. At least, she gave him a chance to state his point. He grinned inwardly.

Jun Boyan continued looking at her innocently, ''In fact, she is my cousin, Yang Shiyi. I already clarified that to Luoluo.''

''What?!" Shi Xia was dumbstruck, ''It was all a misunderstanding?" She could not believe she was so hyped up because of his cousin.

''Yes,'' Jun Boyan tilted his head to the side like a withered flower.

Shi Xia's heart ached but she was suddenly reminded of something, ''No matter what it is, you lied to me that you both were dating when there was nothing between you both. Did you forget that?''

''Cough… This time, we are really dating. I apologize for what happened before. Back then, there was nothing between us and I just wanted to stay with her more so…''

''So, you used me as an excuse? Everytime I visited there, you'd get a chance to play a couple with her? Wait… what did you say? You are dating my daughter?"

Jun Boyan nodded. He stood straight and earnestly looked into her eyes, ''I can't change what happened in the past. But I will keep her happy and I promise to not disappoint you ever again. Can you please give me one more chance?"

Shi Xia frowned. She was about to speak when she realized something, ''Where is Luoluo? Did she start working from here? I have been waiting for her since hours.'' 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

''Maybe she went back to my place,'' he cleared his throat and avoided her glare as he took out his phone to call Shi Luo. Before he could dial her number, there was an incoming call on his phone. It was from Jun Zixuan. ''Brother, is everything alright?'' Why would his brother call him at this hour? He could hear his sister-in-law's crying voice in the background, ''Is sister-in-law alright? Did something happen to the baby?" he panicked, knowing that they almost lost the baby earlier.

They finally survived all the tragedies. It was so peaceful then what happened again?

Was it the calm before the storm all this time?

Shi Xia was also worried by now. She was shocked when she discovered that Yu Mei and Han Mei were the same person but more than that, she was relieved that her daughter was fine. She had always seen Han Jian Yu and Han Mei as her own kids. And their sudden disappearance had left her in a state of shock.

Bizarre things happen in the world and unlike the younger generation, she had more acceptance towards it. All she wished for was for her children to stay happy but she could not understand why things were happening, one after another.

''Brother, say something? Is sister-in-law fine?"

''Will you stop jinxing my wife first?" Jun Zixuan's annoyed voice sounded from the other side.

''But..''

''It's Luoluo,'' Jun Zixuan paused for a moment. ''She has been kidnapped.''

''What do you mean by Luoluo is kidnapped?"" Jun Boyan's voice rose in disbelief.

''My Luoluo…'' Shi Xia pressed a palm on her chest, feeling a sudden rush of breathlessness.

Jun Boyan rushed to her and supported her body. He helped her sit on the couch and handed her the glass of water from the coffee table.

Shi Xia took a few sips of the water as tears filled her eyes.

''Nothing will happen to Luoluo. I will find her.''

''It's Han Jingyi,'' Jun Zixuan said from the other side.

Jun Boyan froze.

''I'll call Jian Yu. He will help you in finding Luoluo,'' Shi Xia said after calming down.

''No, let's not alert her for now,'' Jun Zixuan said when he overheard Shi Xia's voice.

Jun Boyan nodded, ''I agree. Brother, I will get access to her current location…''

''I will alert the men,'' Jun Zixuan hung up after speaking.
