The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 950: HMM...

SITTING awkwardly on the passenger's seat, Yu Jiao fidgeted with the coat she's wearing. She was currently in the car of Luo Ren with her mother. They were on their way to the house of the Luo family.         

    

Although she had been there before, she still felt incredibly nervous. Probably because today was not just any other day. It's the first day of the year. Even if it's not as big or festive as Lunar new year, it's still a public holiday that people usually spent with loved ones.      

No matter how much she and Luo Yan were close, it still felt like she and her mother were intruders. It was the same feeling she felt when Luo Ren suggested before that she went with them on Luo Yan's birthday trip. That's why she politely refused the invitation.     

She wanted to do the same this time, but Luo Yan was, well, very persistent. Not to mention, convincing. That's why it's no wonder that her mother agreed to the invitation without much persuasion needed.      

Seriously, when she watched Luo Yan convincing her mother, she felt like the other had the talent of being a great con-man. People should probably be thankful that Luo Yan was a good person. If not, then he could probably scam millions of money out of everyone just by how slick he was.      

Yu Jiao sighed inwardly. Anyway, what happened had already happened. If she continued to act like this, she would only make the people around her feel uncomfortable.      

"Are you okay, Jiao Jiao? Do you want me to increase the heater's temperature?"

Luo Ren's voice cut off Yu Jiao's worrying thoughts. She turned to the other and tried her best to smile. "N-no, it's okay."     

Luo Ren quickly glanced at the other. Since he was driving, he couldn't just stare at Yu Jiao even if he wanted to. He didn't want them to get into any kind of accident. Besides, even if the urge to do so was overwhelming, his subconscious would prevent him from doing anything that might lead to an accident.      

Ever since he got his license, he had always tried to be a very careful driver. Which was not really that hard. Considering that there seemed to be something in his brain that prevented him from even over speeding. It was easy to tell the root cause of it.      

  The accident that involved his mother and two younger brothers.      

That incident almost broke their family apart. In some way, it did. It was only because of his father's tenacity and his love for his sons that they were able to get through it.      

So, how could he drive recklessly when he knew full well the consequence of just one mistake?      

Even so, despite that, Luo Ren still observed how agitated Yu Jiao was. She was simply radiating that nervous energy. And since she was sitting on the passenger's seat, that energy was 'prickling' him constantly.      

Just by that, he could tell that she must have been very nervous right now. Which was kind of hard to understand. What's there to be nervous about? But when he tried to put himself in her position, also considering her personality, it became easier to see why.     

"There's no need to be nervous. Jiao Jiao is not a stranger to us. So, you don't have to feel burdened with this invitation," Luo Ren said in a reassuring tone. "Besides, you've already met Dad. Does he seem scary to you?" he added in a much lighter tone.      

"No, of course not!" Yu Jiao quickly said. "I-I'm—"     

She stopped and bit her lower lip. The other might think that she's overreacting for feeling this way. But she couldn't help it. Although her confidence had leveled up quite a lot in comparison to before, there was still a part of her that kept on worrying over every little thing.      

Even she knew that it was very annoying.      

"Just think of it as a normal lunch. Didn't you already have dinner with us before? It's just the same thing. With the addition of Aunt Xiuying, of course."     

"Xiao Ren is right. If Jiao Jiao is nervous, then your mother will be nervous too," her mother, who had been silent until now, added to what Luo Ren had said. "As long as we treat Xiao Ren's family with kindness and sincerity, there would be no reason for us to be nervous. Especially since I'm sure that they would do the same."     

"That's true, by the way," Luo Ren didn't forget to add. "It seems that Aunt Xiuying and I are on the same wavelength."     

Yu Jiao's mother chuckled. "If Xiao Ren thinks so, then this old lady can only agree."

"No, what 'old lady'? Aunt Xiuying definitely still looks young. In fact, you can easily be mistaken as Jiao Jiao's sister."     

Ji Xiuying laughed when she heard such blatant compliment. "Then, this 'older sister' will simply take your word for it."     

Seeing how the two got along, Yu Jiao's nervousness was slowly being blown away. Probably because she was thinking that if her mother could get along like this with Luo Ren, then she probably would also get along with Luo Jin and Uncle Wei Tian. Somehow, all her worries dissipated at that thought.         

    

This was probably the main source of what she was feeling. Because she was worried that her mother might not get along with the rest of the Luo family. But she realized that it was just useless worry. She should have known that there's no way the Luo family would treat her mother badly. Because that's just the kind of family they were.      

Yu Jiao was finally able to breath a sigh of relief. The corner of her lips lifted up, showing a relieved smile.     

This did not escape Ji Xiuying's attention. She smiled inwardly. It seemed that her daughter finally let go of her whatever was worrying her.      

Then, she happened to see Luo Ren's expression from the rearview mirror. The other was also smiling. As if he was glad that her daughter had gotten over her worries.      

She gave the other a meaningful glance.     

Hmm…
