126 Awkwardness
“This dress is ugly. Go change it!” Lu Xuan said as he saw An Xiulan descending the stairs. She has spent a night in hospital and another day at home resting and now she was back to her energetic self.
“No!” An Xiulan said firmly. She was wearing such a cute printed sleeveless top and a glossy white pleated short skirt. Her favourite peach sling bag on her shoulder which matched her sparkly eyeliner and her hairpin. It was no secret that she loved sparkly things.
Lu Xuan looked at her again. Why did she have to grow tall all of a sudden? Although she was still tiny in his opinion, this tiny girl had mile-long silky smooth legs and he didn’t like her showcasing them!
He knew that if he tried to order her, she would act more stubborn. Therefore, he changed his approach.
“You are wearing a skirt. You will play with Xiaobao. Won’t it get dirty? And playing in a skirt with a child is not comfortable,” Lu Xuan said and An Xiulan fell into thought.
Actually, what he was saying made sense. Ever since she had transmigrated, she loved to wear different clothes. In the beginning, these clothes were weird to her but now she loves modern fashion. She didn’t have to maintain long hair and neither did she have to wear those big uncomfortable clothes.
She recalled that she had white shorts that would match this top and quickly went up to her room. But before she could reach her room, she heard the sound of Betty and Augustine who were fighting once again.
“Betty, Augustine! Stop fighting or no wet food for you both!” Hearing the threat, both of them stilled and looked at her with that pitiful look. “I’m going to my little brother’s house. You are not allowed to fight. Do you get it?”
“Meow!”
“Very good!” An Xiulan was satisfied with their attitude. With a last pat, she turned to her room. After raiding her closet, she found out that she couldn’t find the majority of her clothes.
“Meimei, where are my other clothes?” An Xiulan asked.
Meimei’s eyes widened for a moment and then she said, “Missy, your clothes are sent to goodwill. Madam said all those clothes were old and the majority of them no longer fit you. You have grown tall, Missy. You need new clothes.”
“Oh, what do I wear now?” An Xiulan asked with a frown.
“What about this?” Meimei showed her a pair of white jeans as if she knew An Xiulan would ask for a change of clothes.
Without having any choice, she took the selected piece of clothing and entered the washroom to change. When she was inside, a quivering Meimei looked at Lu Xuan. She didn’t know why but this boy was intimidating just like madam. Only her missy was kind and cute. He was not cute at all. He threatened her just now!
“Burn all those clothes,” Lu Xuan ordered as his Phoenix eyes settled on her.
Mommy! Why was this boy so scary!
An Xiulan who was scammed by her brother left home with him to go to Lu mansion. Since the old woman was not at home, An Qinyan was less worried about her daughter.
“Listen to me, you are not allowed to run around.”
“You can’t skip meals.”
“You will take medicine on time.”
“We will leave this house at 6 in the evening sharp!”
“Why are we leaving at 6?” An Xiulan asked with pursed lips. She wanted to accompany Xiabao for a long.
“Because mom will be home by then. I don’t want her to eat dinner alone,” Lu Xuan immediately said.
“Fine, fine,” An Xiulan said as she tried to open the car door.
As they entered the house, they were welcomed by
an excited Song Yifei. Even Lu Zhaolin, who was supposed to be at the office, was at home to spend time with the children.
“Xiulan, how are you?” Song Yifei asked as she hugged the little girl. Thankfully, the girl didn’t push her away. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
“I’m good, Aunt Song,” An Xiulan mumbled.
“How are you Ah Xuan?” Song Yifei asked.
“Alive,” Lu Xuan muttered and walked ahead to pat his brother who was trying to stand up by holding the table. What careless parents! What if he fell down and hurt his tender head.
“Hey buddy,” Lu Xuan softly called out as he kissed his face.
Lu Xun giggled as he chanted. “Ge. Ge. Ge. Ge.”
“En,” Lu Xuan’s face softened and hugged his brother once again. “Do you miss me?”
“Miss. Miss. Miss,” Lu Xun giggled.
“How was the journey?” Lu Zhaolin asked An Xiulan as he felt that he should say something.
“Well…” An Xiulan was even more awkward than him. How does she tell him that the girl who wanted him so bad was gone and in her place was someone who never wished for a father again?
If her father of previous life was a piece of shit, then Lu Zhaolin was a scumbag.
Now he was trying to redeem himself.
She didn’t know what to do right now.
Thankfully, little Xiaobao saved her from awkwardness.
“Jiejie!” Xiaobao squealed as he gaze at his favourite person ever.
“Xiaobao,” An Xiulan smiled as she sprinted towards him and took the boy from Lu Xun’s arm.
“Sit down and then take this fatty,” Lu Xuan rolled his eyes as he pulled Xiaobao away.
“Ge?” Lu Xun looked at him wronged.
An Xiulan pursed her lips but obediently sat on the sofa. And then he made Lu Xun sit on her lap.
“Baby, you are so cute,” She gushed when Xiaobao sprinkled kisses all over her face. “You are my favourite brother.”
Lu Xun laughed but Lu Xuan grunted.
“Zhaolin, doesn’t it feels like Lu Xuan has changed a lot in just a few days?” Song Yifei asked. She could sense that Lu Xuan was more calm than ever. It was as if he had found his peace.
Whatever the reason was she was glad that he was living well.
