Chapter 483: 469, Surprise for you (2)_1
“How about this, Grandpa, don’t rush to separate them, observe them for a while, Black Jack can’t meet Luoluo during this time, and you can test their feelings for each other in the meantime,” suggested Jian Qing.
“At least don’t push Luoluo too hard for now, you can’t bear to see him heartbroken either, can you?”
After pondering for a moment, the old man nodded approvingly.
“Alright, we will temporarily do as you said, but you must promise me that you won’t let Black Jack into the Manor.”
Jian Qing promptly nodded, “Deal.”
After a lengthy discussion in the room with Jian Qing mollifying the old man, she ran into an infuriated Mo Xiao as she was coming downstairs.
Bai Jue helplessly stood by, hoping not to get caught in the crossfire.
Given Mo Xiao’s intimidating demeanor, he thought it best to avoid adding to the chaos lest he also get reprimanded.
“Qingqing, where’s Black Jack?” asked Mo Xiao, his handsome face darkening, an aura of anger enveloping him.
“Let him get out here.”
Daring to kidnap his precious son, he would beat him to death.
Jian Qing quickly grabbed his arm and appeased softly, “Dad, don’t be impulsive, let’s calm down.”
“I can’t. How can he dare to kidnap Luoluo?” Mo Xiao fumed, grinding his teeth, “He wants to be my daughter-in-law? Not a chance.”
Bai Jue felt a headache coming on.
A daughter-in-law?
Mo Xiao indeed fought for Jian Luo’s status.
“Dad, I’ve sent him away, he’s gone,” Jian Qing hurriedly replied.
“Gone?” Mo Xiao was taken aback, his face even more discontent than before, “He just ran off at the first sign of trouble; we can’t have someone like that.”
Jian Qing quivered helplessly.
Dad, are you even listening? He was driven out; he didn’t run away in fear.
“Dad, let’s talk calmly, don’t get agitated.”
Mo Xiao glanced at the small figure hugging his arm, and his anger subsided a little, “Alright, let’s talk calmly.”
Jian Qing sighed and let go of his arm.
“Where’s Luoluo?” he asked.
“Grandpa confined him to his room.”
Mo Xiao frowned, secretly agreeing with the old man’s decision.
“No, I will have Ning Feng cancel all my schedules for the next few days. I will personally guard the house, preventing Black Jack from slipping in again.”
Having said that, he walked out again while talking on the phone.
“… ”
Jian Qing exchanged glances with Bai Jue, feeling overwhelmed.
“Jian Qing, I think it will be tough for Black Jack to set foot in the Manor again,” Bai Jue sighed.
Jian Qing rolled her eyes at him, “Which is why you have to stay here and help.”
Bai Jue dejectedly lowered his head, feeling dragged down yet again.
That night, the bright moon climbed up the treetops.
Jian Qing took the key from Grandpa and walked into the room, immediately spotting the barely touched food on the table.
“Take the meal away.”
Thinking that a servant had come to clean up, Jian Luo stood by the window without turning around to answer.
“Luoluo!”
Her cold voice softened, and Jian Luo instantly turned around, his eyes shining brightly.
“Sis!”
He quickly walked over, his gaze subtly glancing outside.
Jian Qing faintly smiled and said, “Don’t bother looking, Black Jack has left.”
Hearing this, Jian Luo’s face fell slightly,” Sis, what should I do?”
Jian Qing pulled him over to sit on the sofa.
Looking at the food on the table, she tapped his head lightly, “Before someone left, he specifically asked me to ensure that you remembered to eat. But here you are, eating only a few bites, are you planning on starving yourself?”
Jian Luo lowered his head and mumbled, “I don’t have an appetite.”
Jian Qing ruffled his hair and said, “You need to eat more even if you don’t have an appetite. Are you planning to let Black Jack see you turned into a bamboo pole when he meets you again?”
“I understand.”
“Dad knows about you and Black Jack now. You and Black Jack won’t get to meet for a while.”
“Hmm.” Jian Luo’s eyes dimmed, hiding his disappointment.
“Don’t pull such a long face.” Jian Qing raised the corners of his mouth and reassured him gently, “Don’t worry, I won’t really stop you two from meeting.”
A glimmer of hope flashed in Jian Luo’s eyes, then dimmed again, “But grandpa was really angry today.”
And his own dad was probably also quite upset.
“You need to give them some time to digest this news.” Jian Qing said, “You know Grandpa, he can’t bear to see you upset.”
“Alright, you should rest early. I’ll leave now.”
Jian Qing got up and left, returning to her own room.
Picking up the calendar from the table and looking at the red circle marked on it, a trace of worry appeared in her eyes.

Without realizing, he had been gone for eight days already, she wondered if he had seen the message she sent.
She put down the calendar, raised her hand to touch the necklace around her neck.
Xiaojing, our agreed day is getting closer and closer, isn’t it?
…
For several consecutive days, Black Jack lived up to his promise and did not come to the Manor. The old man did not confine Jian Luo in his room all the time, but one condition was that he could not leave the Manor.
After dinner, Mo Xiao still accompanied the old man playing chess, like usual.
“Dad, Luoluo has been looking quite haggard lately,” Mo Xiao sighed with sadness in his eyes, “Maybe you could let him out?”
The old man spoke tiredly, “I’m afraid that as soon as he steps outside, he will go find Black Jack. Wouldn’t these last few days have been a complete waste? ”
Mo Xiao silently conceded, after all, this was a concern of his too.
On the side, Bai Jue was playing with his phone, texting Black Jack, but quietly listening to the conversation between the old man and Mo Xiao.
“Grandpa Jian, you two carry on talking, I’m going to check on Jian Luo.”
Putting his phone into his pocket, Bai Jue made his excuses and ran upstairs.
The room wasn’t locked, so Bai Jue walked right in.
He saw someone sleeping on the bed and leisurely walked over.
“Jian Luo, why are you sleeping so early?” he said, poking fun.
Jian Luo threw off the covers and sat up.
“What did you come up here for?”
“Due to someone’s request, I brought you a surprise.” Bai Jue smiled mischievously.
Although he didn’t specify who that ‘someone’ was, Jian Luo understood perfectly.
His dim eyes instantly lit up, “Is he here?”
Bai Jue shook his head, “He is here, but he did not come inside the Manor.”
Who would dare be audacious enough to let Black Jack into the Manor given Grandpa Jian’s orders?
“Then where is he?” Jian Luo hopped off his bed, hurriedly asking.
Bai Jue raised a finger to his lips, “Shh.”
He turned to close the door, then pulled Jian Luo to the window, “Keep it down.”
Saying that, he took out his phone, plugged in the earphones, and connected to a video call which he handed over to Jian Luo.
“Hold this.”
Even though Grandpa Jian had agreed to let Jian Luo move freely around the Manor, he was afraid that Jian Luo would contact Black Jack, so he had confiscated his phone.
