<h4>Chapter 699: one final question</h4>


    THIS was probably the first time that Luo Wei Tian did something so embarrassing in front of any of his sons. This was what he got from jumping into conclusion like that. Knowing Luo Ren, he''s probably holding in hisughter just to give his father some face. But could Luo Wei Tian really be med for this misunderstanding?


    How would he know that Yu Jiao was actually a girl when the other looked like a strapping young man? Something like using the opposite gender for a game avatar never really crossed his mind. It''s probably because of his age that''s why he hadn''t thought of such convention. And it also most likely had something to do with the fact that he had never really yed such games when he was younger. That''s why he never thought that it was actually possible to change one gender in the game.


    And thus, it led to this embarrassing situation.


    Just thinking of all the things he said to Luo Ren just now made him want to burrow himself in the ground. The urge to raise his hand and cover his face came up again.


    It was then that a thought entered his mind.


    Even if Yu Jiao turned out to be a girl, it''s still true that his eldest had treated her differently. And it was definitely not because she was friends with Luo Yan. Luo Ren was giving her special treatment just because it was her.


    What did that tell Luo Wei Tian? That Luo Ren definitely had feelings for the girl! Whether it''s simple admiration or something much deeper, the fact was, Luo Ren was interested in Yu Jiao.


    Suddenly, Luo Wei Tian was no longer so embarrassed anymore. Instead, he felt a bit excited.


    In his son''s 22 years of life, he had never shown any interest in romantic rtionships. Even during his teenage years when one''s hormones were raging, Luo Ren''s focus was only on his studies.


    Luo Wei Tian was not that kind of father who would get in the way of his children''s rtionship. Or even treat them as some kind of bargaining chip that could help him expand their business through marriage with another influential family. He built Tianhua Group so his children could have a good life. It wasn''t so it could be their shackle in the future.


    As long as his children''s partners were decent human beings, then, he would give them his support. Of course, if he found out that the partner they had chosen was some kind of crook, then, he would do his best to intervene. How could he let his children lived with someone who would only make their lives miserable?


    But he probably wouldn''t need to worry about that. He had confidence in his sons'' taste in people. They were all smart to know who was being true to them and who were the ones who only wanted to use them. Most of his concern would probably be for his second son – Luo Yan.


    It couldn''t be helped. Luo Yan''sa made him a tad bit more overprotective. Even if the other reach his 20s and became independent, that probably wouldn''t change. He just hoped that Luo Yan would find someone who would truly cherish him and love him unconditionally. Of course, he was also hoping the same for Luo Ren and Luo Jin.


    Luo Wei Tian raised his head and looked at his son. He had already calmed down and no longer felt like he wanted to hide under his desk because of embarrassment.


    "This girl, Yu Jiao, do you like her?"


    Luo Ren, who saw his father''s vivid change in expression for the first time, wasn''t really surprised by the other''s question. After all, the actions that his father had noticed all led to that conclusion.


    "Yes, I do," he answered without any hesitation.


    Luo Wei Tian didn''t expect that Luo Ren would actually answer in such a straightforward and confident way. But that also meant that he had spent time examining his own feelings. And this was the answer that he reached.


    He thought back to the handsome young man he met in the game earlier – that he now knew was actually a girl. She was a bit shy and easy to get flustered. But even so, she was not afraid to offer her opinion, albeit in a hesitant manner. She was like a chick who was still in the process of learning to be confident about herself.


    He could tell that she was a good kid. But there''s probably more to her than just being ''nice'' that made Luo Ren liked her.


    "Just to make sure, I was talking about romantic feelings," he said just to make things clearer.


    Luo Ren showed a helpless smile. "Yes, Dad. I like Jiao Jiao romantically. And I would be the happiest if she would one day return my feelings."


    Luo Wei Tian was speechless for a while before letting out a boisterous happyugh. He stood up and walked beside Luo Ren, patting the other''s shoulder in a proud manner.


    "Good, good," he said in an obviously good mood. "But try not to overwhelm her with your feelings. Yu Jiao is still in high school. You''re the older one. Be responsible. Don''t do things that would make you look like a criminal."


    Although he knew Luo Ren wouldn''t ever do something like that, as a father, he still had to give that warning.


    Luo Ren nodded in understanding. "I know, Dad. At this point, I''m satisfied to just be an older brother figure she could rely on."


    The two talked a bit more. Well, it was mostly Luo Ren just talking about Yu Jiao. Before the two left the study, Luo Ren had one final question for his father.


    "Dad, what you said earlier, would you really not mind if one of us turned out to have a different sexuality?"


    "Of course!" Luo Wei Tian didn''t hesitate to say.


    Luo Ren felt d hearing that. At least now he was sure that their father wouldn''t have any problem once Luo Yan came out to the other. The only one who would probably have a problem was Shen Ji Yun.


    Because there''s no way their father would go easy on that guy.
