Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 698: Chapter 412: Figured It Out / Brought It on Herself

Qi Dong’s mind was a mess, looking at Old Sir Luo in befuddlement before patting his head: ”Grandpa, you changed into these clothes, and I really didn’t recognize you.”

”Pfft!”

Xing Nong burst into laughter, then said: ”What you’re saying is, next time we change our clothes, you won’t recognize any of us? This is the first time I’ve heard of someone who recognizes clothes but not people.”

”No, no...” Qi Dong hurriedly waved his hands, looking at the smiling Xing Nong who was grinning like a flower, utterly captivated.

...

”Song Qiu’er, have you missed me so much?” Luo Ye, indulging the persistent heavy Song Qiu’er clinging onto her, showed a face full of doting.

She touched Song Qiu and Dou Dou; after the party ended, she went home to sleep with her parents. After taking a shower, Song Qiu firmly grasped onto her thigh and wouldn’t let go, no matter whether she stood up, sat down, or lay down; it just clung on with its little paws.

Luo Ye petted Dou Dou, who was obediently laying by her side: ”Dou Dou is well-behaved, not like this big Fatty Dun’er. It’s always either eating or being naughty.”

”Chirp chirp chirp...” Dou Dou excitedly chirped.

”Hmm hmm hmm...” Song Qiu grumbled discontentedly.

”I say, are you even a dog?” Luo Ye flipped Song Qiu’s large head back and forth: ”You’ve grown so big and still can’t bark properly, just ’hmm hmm,’ you big dummy.”

”Hmm hmm hmm...” Song Qiu, displeased, rolled its eyes.

”Ah... Hahaha...” Luo Ye lifted its head: ”Little thing, have you really become cunning? Daring to roll your eyes at me? Dou Dou, discipline it!”

”Chirp chirp chirp...” Excitedly chirping, Dou Dou pecked at Song Qiu’s behind twice. When the hefty Song Qiu refused to tolerate it, it clumsily stood up to chase after Dou Dou, and the two of them started romping circles in Luo Ye’s bedroom.

”Dou Dou, peck it, peck its butt!”

”Chirp chirp chirp...”

Luo Ping pushed the door open, stepping inside, her vision went dark and she quickly recoiled in fright. After getting a clear view of the situation, she swallowed nervously: ”What... what are you doing?”

”Sister Pingping, come over here...” Luo Ye beckoned to her: ”Song Qiu, the little rascal, isn’t behaving; Dou Dou is disciplining it.”

Luo Ping shook her head at the two: ”In the past, they would just obediently lay down and follow Grandpa out for walks. They were never this lively.”

Perhaps tired from running, Song Qiu clumsily went back to laying on Luo Ye’s legs, its head drooping, looking utterly lazy, while Dou Dou fluttered its wings and settled down on the other side.

Luo Ping said with a speechless face: ”They’ve all become cunning.”

Luo Ye smiled at her: ”Sister Pingping, are you feeling better?”

”Yeah, how could I have been so silly back then, always thinking that without him, the world would lose its color. Now when I think about it, ah!” Luo Ping wrapped her arm around Luo Ye’s shoulder: ”Ye’er, thank you.”

”For what? How could I let someone bully my sister, right?”

”Uncle Qi and Grandpa Yan, both with such high status, they both helped out, and I am particularly touched. Ye’er, I know this was all your idea...” Luo Ping paused and spoke earnestly: ”Ye’er has done so much; if I were still to be stubborn, I might as well just hit my head against the wall and be done with it.”

Luo Ye pondered for a moment, then reminded: ”After tonight’s events, Qi Dong and Sun Min will surely be done, or perhaps Qi Dong will turn back to look for Sister Pingping...”

”Don’t worry, I won’t be foolish anymore.” Luo Ping sighed: ”I’m a bit stubborn. Actually, I already understood when we graduated that he would never marry me.

He was with me only because he was used to me taking care of him, used to me obeying his every command, used to seeking satisfaction from me.

Even though I had understood long ago, I always couldn’t help but deceive myself, thinking that one day he would truly fall in love with me, treasure me, and dote on me.

This vain hope sustained me through countless breakups and makeups with him, no matter how poorly he treated me or said vicious words, as long as he came back to me, I would obediently return by his side.

I always felt, since I became his woman, I needed to keep my heart for him, and one day, we would be happy. But now, I’ve truly realized.

Even if I were really with him, it wouldn’t be the same as the happiness I imagined, especially after he knew about my relationship with Uncle Qi, this love has only become corrupted.

Although I don’t expect to find a man as good as my brother-in-law to Ye, I still need to find a man who truly likes me. The foolish Luo Ping from before is completely gone, never to do such foolish things again.”

”Sister Pingping, I want to ask you a question, don’t get mad at me...”

Luo Ping interrupted Luo Ye: ”Are you asking if I knew that by using Uncle Qi’s identity, I could be with him, yet why didn’t I do it?”
