In Tang Guihua's room, Luo Yang had a friendly chat with her.
Rarely getting such a good opportunity to talk to Luo Yang alone, Tang Guihua was quite happy.
To test the waters and understand Luo Yang's thoughts, Tang Guihua brought up her parents.
This was the only tactic that might achieve her goal.
It was well known that whenever Tang Guihua saw Luo Yang with An Yuying, she would get jealous.
Even though An Yuying was Luo Yang's first girlfriend and Tang Guihua came later, Tang Guihua still felt that Luo Yang belonged to her.
For Tang Guihua to make Luo Yang break up with An Yuying was a tough goal to achieve.
However, if she used her parents as a bargaining chip, there might be a chance.
Thus, Tang Guihua said in a coquettish voice, "Niu Zai, I've got some bad news for you."
This indirect approach was something Tang Guihua had learned from her mother.
Luo Yang was taken aback upon hearing this.
Seeing that Tang Guihua's eyes and pretty face didn't look too anxious, he doubted it was truly bad news.
"Sister Guihua, what is it? Tell me, even if I have to climb a mountain of swords or descend into a sea of flames, I will help you," Luo Yang promised generously.
If such words came from any other boy, Tang Guihua might suspect he was just spouting nonsense.
But coming from Luo Yang, Tang Guihua believed he would follow through.
With a sweet smile, she said, "Niu Zai, this is the deal. My mother has been on my case about it several times. She says my future husband has to be a man of singular devotion, not fickle, loving this one and that one. She doesn't like that at all."
Initially thinking there was some serious trouble, Luo Yang was worried for Tang Guihua.
But as he listened, he couldn't help but laugh inwardly.
It was the same old tactic, merely wanting Luo Yang to break up with An Yuying and love only Tang Guihua.
Luo Yang responded coolly, "Sister Guihua, what should we do about this?"
With that one question, he bounced the problem right back to Tang Guihua.
"Niu Zai, I asked you, and now you're asking me back, what's that supposed to mean?" Tang Guihua frowned and pursed her red lips in frustration.
She hadn't expected Luo Yang to have experience with such matters.
Having dealt with it before, Luo Yang could now handle similar situations with ease.
But to be honest, confronting Mother Tang would indeed make him break out in a cold sweat.
When Mother Tang started on it, there would be no end to what she had to say. She wouldn't stop speaking until Luo Yang was foaming at the mouth with exhaustion.
That's why Luo Yang dreaded discussing things with Mother Tang the most.
But now he was not dealing with Mother Tang, but her daughter, Tang Guihua; this made Luo Yang feel much more at ease.
Chuckling, Luo Yang said, "Sister Guihua, why don't you talk to your mom about it, wouldn't that solve everything?"
In frustration, Tang Guihua grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, which Luo Yang caught with a chuckle.
Seeing Luo Yang looking as unperturbed as a pig not scared of scalding water, Tang Guihua laughed out of sheer exasperation, finding herself at a loss with him.
Mother Tang and Father Tang, seeing Luo Yang stay in their daughter's room for so long without coming out, both wondered what the two were doing inside.
So Mother Tang sent Father Tang to do some snooping.
Mother Tang tried to tiptoe to the door of Tang Guihua's room to eavesdrop, only to find that her son Tang Dexing had already become Luo Yang's informant.
Seeing Father Tang attempt to eavesdrop, Tang Dexing deliberately asked aloud from the living room, "Dad, are you looking for Sister?"
With that, the two inside the room knew what was happening.
Father Tang felt embarrassed, shook his head, and had to go downstairs to report back to Mother Tang.
At that moment, Tang Dexing hurried to his sister's door and whispered through it, "Sister, brother-in-law, you should keep it down a bit, Dad's trying to listen in."
Tang Guihua's face flushed to the roots of her ears at the remark, while Luo Yang gave an awkward smile.
Exchanging glances, the two shared a warm moment.
