Chapter 22: Other than your thick skin?
Pan Delan did not understand what Luo Huian meant by those words but she understood that it was nothing good as there was a word with 'fool' in it. She glared at Luo Huian and stated angrily with puffed cheeks, "My father is not a fool!"
Hearing her words, Luo Huian glanced at the little cotton ball who was jumping up and down, while looking at her as if she was a sinner. Luo Huian sneered. Not a fool? He locked himself in a room with dangerous gas filling in the room. If he was not a fool? Then was she a fool who went inside to save him?
If him, giving up on his life was not foolish then her rescue action was foolish, right?
"I should just dump this mer then?" Luo Huian muttered under her breath. If he was so smart then he might as revive himself.
Pan Delan's eyes widened. She heard Luo Huian talking about dumping her father and exclaimed, "You cannot dump him! He is not in good health!"
"Huian, since you have rescued the mer, you might as well save him," Xiao Bai gently coaxed Luo Huian. "His survival is necessary for you to finish your mission. Anyway, he seemed to be affected by the gloom rocks that are scattered all over this town. I don't believe that this mer would have taken such a step if not for them."
Luo Huian clicked her tongue. Earlier she had taken a look at those gloom rocks and she had to admit that they were rather terrifying things. Even she could feel her happiness being sucked from her body and all sorts of bad thoughts were left behind causing her to almost go crazy.
Fortunately, she had Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai who pulled her back or she would have jumped out of the moving taxi.
"I am not going to throw him. Let's go, take me somewhere I can treat your daddy," said Luo Huian. Xiao Bai was right, since she had saved this mer, she might as well stick to the mission till the end.
When Pan Delan heard that Luo Huian could save her daddy, her eyes lit up. She said, "Come with me, I have a small apartment in the southern district."
She then climbed down the stairs of the building and walked out of the alley, Luo Huian followed closely behind as Pan Delan flagged a taxi.
Unfortunately, it was the same taxi driver who dropped them at the building where Pan Delan's daddy worked.
"You…" the taxi driver looked at Luo Huian and was speechless. He glanced at the mer in Luo Huian's arms and questioned, "He is alive, right?"
"Want to check?" Luo Huian asked as she shoved Xu SuiSui in the taxi driver's arm who was stunned by her actions. He looked at the mer and then looked at Luo Huian before questioning, "Who answers like that?"
He asked her if the mer was alive and she shoved the mer in his arms.
"Me," Luo Huian picked up the mer and sneered, "If you ask stupid questions, I will reply in a stupid manner. Do you think if he was dead, I would have flagged a taxi? I am ill-tempered, not stupid."
The taxi driver: "…" I want to lose my temper but I can't.
"Then why is he unconscious like this?" He asked with a frown.
"My daddy is tired," Pan Delan answered. "He is sleeping and sister Luo is taking care of him. This is what she is supposed to do, as it is her job."
'So this woman is an escort?' The taxi driver looked at Luo Huian's beautiful face and seemed to have understood why Luo Huian was dressed in thug-like clothes. She was actually role-playing for this rich mer!
They must have tossed around too much and the mer got tired.
'To think that these rich mers have such wicked taste. He even did such a thing with his daughter in the room,' the taxi driver clicked his tongue inwardly.
Luo Huian: "…"
She had a feeling that this taxi driver was misunderstanding something very much but she could not exactly pinpoint what it was.
Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei: "…" It's a good thing that she could not read human minds or else…this man would be buried ten feet deep.
Luo Huian… an escort? She was too prideful to do such a job!
If she knew what this man was thinking she would have kicked the only tree in his forest and roasted a billion people alive.
"Are you driving?" Luo Huian asked coldly. Her arms were hurting after carrying the mer in her arms. She glanced at the thin mer and muttered in her heart, "You look so thin but you are heavier than you look."
"I am," the driver was glad as now he understood what Luo Huian's job was, he glanced at the woman with sympathy and remarked, "Young girl, you shouldn't give up on yourself like this… no matter how hard it is, you don't need to stoop so low as to serve married mers."
The confusion in Luo Huian's eyes thickened. She however nodded and said, "I will keep that in mind."
Pan Delan was also confused. What was going on? Her mind was telling her that she had caused some trouble but she was too young to understand the trouble.
The taxi driver was glad that he was able to make Luo Huian understand. He patted her on the shoulder before driving the three of them to the apartment building where Pan Delan's apartment was located.
As Pan Delan paid the fare, the taxi driver said to Luo Huian, "If you want a respectful job just come to look for me at Hai San Travel!"
With that, he drove away.
Luo Huian who stared at the exhaust couldn't help but frown as she questioned, "What exactly did I do that was counted as shameless?"
"Other than your thick skin? I have no idea," Pan Delan answered her because she was just as confused.
