The Villain and the Cannon Fodder’s Mother

Boss Lu, who was looking very touched a moment ago, froze and his heart was broken into pieces.

Screw the caring!

Screw her making him his favorite dishes!

Lu Xun walked out with his little broken heart and Lin Yiyi fanned her burning ears.

She was only making a total of two dishes and that didn’t take too much time.

That and the few dishes that had been placed into the refrigerator by Housekeeper Zhang earlier would be just enough for all of them.

Meng Yuran and Meng Shanshan had also come down after they had showered, and all of them sat down around the dinner table.

Even though they’ve already had barbequed skewers on their way home, the twice-cooked pork and spicy stir-fried chicken still smelled very delectable and made all of them drool.

If all the others were drooling, then all the more so was Boss Lu who had been starving the entire way back.

A table full of food and those sitting around it only put down their chopsticks.

They only noticed after dinner that it has been raining outside.

It being dark and rainy outside made everyone want to stay inside the bright and warm mansion even more.

Lu Xun lamented for a little as he looked out the window. Returning to the living room, an idea suddenly occurred to him. His eyes beamed, and he turned and asked Mr. Gu Yuanchen, “Lao Gu, do you have a guest bedroom?”

Mr. Gu YuanChen, “……”

Can you not be that obvious?

Even Lu Mingzhe turned away and couldn’t stand to look at his annoying little uncle.

“No, we don’t have a guest bedroom. But we have a car, you want it?”

Lin Yiyi walked into the living room and placed the car key to the Bentley in front of him.

The Lin’s didn’t have a lot of luxurious cars, but there were at least five or six in the garage. Letting them borrow one wasn’t a big deal.

Now that they have already handed over the car key, the subtext couldn’t be more obvious.

Lu Xun took the car key and was embarrassed to keep on staying. He had no choice but to leave against his wish.

Watching him turning around repeatedly as he walked out of the door, Ms. Lin Ping finally busted out laughing uncontrollably.

“This Xiao Lu is an honest one.”

Truth was, had he tried a little harder, Lin Yiyi might just have given in!

Lin Yiyi casted Ms. Lin Ping a glance.

So she was fond of Lu Xun now? The way she referred to him had gone from the previous “that Lu guy” to “Xiao Lu”, same way as how her stepdad referred to him.

Ms. Lin Ping gave her daughter another look. “It’s important for girls to be reserved, but you don’t want to be too reserved. You need to loosen up a bit from time to time and offer him some encouragement so he’d be more eager in pursuing you.”

“Who wants to be pursued by him!” Lin Yiyi turned around and ran back into her room upstairs, leaving the back of her head for her mother to look at.

This old lady was quite experienced!

Compared to her, Lin Yiyi was truly as pure as a piece of white paper. Not that Lu Xun was any better than she was.

What’s up with these two young people looking to date? All those around them were dying from angst.

***

The rain lasted for the next few days.

Ms. Lin Ping, once again, was all packed up to return to the states.

She was your typical pro-active person. Once she had an idea in her mind, she’d move on it right away.

So even though she was still debating about when she wanted to return in the morning, she had already booked tickets for two in the afternoon.

Mr. Gu Yuanchen, who had long since gotten used to her style and personality, expressed no objection. He was happy to go with her.

This time, it was Lin Yiyi who took the two of them to the airport.

To her surprise, Lu Xun arrived immediately after they had arrived at the airport.
