Chapter 182 : Class Reunion

Under Fu Sichan’s careful attention, Lu Yunyao’s small face had become quite round.

“Mr, have I gained weight?”

Lu Yunyao touched her soft little face, feeling a bit conflicted.

Fu Sichan looked at her tender skin and couldn’t help but pinch it; it really felt nice.

The little girl had gained a bit of weight, and her skin felt even better.

“You were too thin before, gaining a little is good.”

Lu Yunyao sweetly asked, “Really?”

“Mm.”

Lu Yunyao stood on her tiptoes and planted a fragrant kiss on Fu Sichan’s cheek.

Just as she was about to escape, Fu Sichan wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.

His cool lips brushed against hers, extending the kiss.

“Why are you in such a good mood today?”

Lu Yunyao’s cheeks turned rosy, her smile sweet and pure.

“There’s a class reunion tonight. I’m going with Li Siyu. I haven’t seen my high school friends in a long time; I really miss them.”

Fu Sichan’s brows furrowed.

“A class reunion? You’re going tonight?”

“Yeah, what’s wrong, Mr?”

Fu Sichan looked a bit worried. “I have an engagement today and won’t be able to leave for a while. Are you sure you can manage the reunion with your friends?”

Lu Yunyao flashed a playful smile.

“Mr, don’t always treat me like a child. They’re all old classmates, nothing will happen. Besides, I have Siyu with me.”

Her words didn’t alleviate Fu Sichan’s concern.

When you care for someone, you can’t help but worry about them.

“Keep your phone on you, and call me if anything comes up.”

“Got it.”

Fu Sichan pinched her nose. “And no drinking otherwise, I’ll have to discipline you.”

Lu Yunyao felt a chill on her bottom.

She couldn’t help but blush, pouting playfully, “Mr, I’m almost a mom, how can you still spank me?”

“Just because you’re almost a mom means you can disregard the rules? Hm?”

Lu Yunyao weakly said, “You’re making me lose face.”

Fu Sichan couldn’t resist the sight of the little girl’s soft, spoiled demeanor.

She probably didn’t even realize how charming her innocent appeal was.

Fu Sichan’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

“As long as you behave, I won’t punish you.”

“Pinky promise.”

Lu Yunyao extended her little finger.

A dark line crossed Fu Sichan’s forehead.

He was almost thirty and still playing these childish games with her?

Lu Yunyao pouted, “Mr, why aren’t you doing the pinky promise? Are you trying to back out?”

With no choice, Fu Sichan reluctantly extended his pinky, keeping a stern face.

Lu Yunyao linked her pinky with his and then insisted that they lock their thumbs together.

“Pinky promise, a hundred years without changing!”

Fu Sichan gazed at her affectionately, his eyes revealing an unrecognized tenderness.

“Okay, a hundred years without changing.”

…

Recently, Bai Xuan had been visiting the Fu family’s old residence whenever she had the chance, keeping company with Grandma Fu.

“Grandma Fu, try this massage device. I had a classmate bring it back from abroad. It’s great for relaxing and promoting blood circulation.”

Bai Xuan tried her best to win over Grandma Fu.

Grandma Fu treated her like a granddaughter and always had a good impression of her.

However, after several visits, Grandma Fu couldn’t help but notice Bai Xuan’s intentions.

“Xuan’er.”

Grandma Fu suddenly called out her name, making Bai Xuan’s heart skip a beat.

“Grandma, what’s wrong? Is the massage device uncomfortable?”

“The device is fine, but you just returned to the country. You must have a lot to take care of, why do you keep coming to see this old lady?”

Bai Xuan tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled gently and obediently.

“Grandma Fu, my own grandmother passed away early, and I’ve always thought of you as my own. I’ve missed you so much after all this time.”

Grandma Fu chided her, “This old lady hasn’t been in charge for a long time. It’s fine to think of me as your grandmother, but if you think of me as the matriarch of the Fu family, you might be disappointed.”

Bai Xuan’s expression froze slightly.

“Grandma, what are you saying? I admire you as a person, not your title.”

“That’s good. You’re a smart girl. I don’t want to see you go down the wrong path.”

Bai Xuan turned her back to the old lady, and her smile momentarily faltered.

What did she mean by “the wrong path”?

The old lady was clearly warning her.

Bai Xuan felt her thoughts were seen through and, embarrassed, decided to leave the Fu family early.

Grandma Fu sighed and said to someone she trusted nearby, “I watched this girl grow up. I once thought about having her be with Sichan, but he has no interest in her at all, so I gave up on that idea.”

“But she seems different after being abroad for a few years.”

“Do you really think I’m too old to see through her intentions…”

The maid chimed in, “Young Master and Young Mistress have a good relationship, you don’t need to worry.”

Grandma Fu took a sip of tea and shook her head. “I’m not worried about Sichan, I’m worried about Bai Xuan. There’s no one in the Fu family who is heartless, they’re all passionate. I’m not concerned about his feelings for Yaoyao.”

“Ah, I just worry that Bai Xuan might overthink things.”

As people age, they tend to see too clearly and can easily find things uninteresting.

She initially wanted Bai Xuan to let go of her feelings, but it seemed the girl still had lingering thoughts about Sichan.

She hoped this girl wouldn’t let her down and wouldn’t go down the wrong path.

…

After school, Lu Yunyao and Li Siyu went to their high school class reunion together.

It had been less than a year since graduation, yet the classmates had undergone tremendous changes.

As soon as Lu Yunyao walked in, the boys in the class started cheering, “The class beauty is here! The class beauty is here!”

She had always been the class beauty.

Although the Mu family treated her poorly and she always wore faded school uniforms, it couldn’t hide her pure and charming beauty.

“I heard you found your biological parents and changed your name, right?”

“I always thought the class beauty didn’t seem like an ordinary kid, I guess I was right.”

“There are several boys in our class who have secret crushes on you. Some say you’ll definitely enter the entertainment industry one day.”

As soon as Lu Yunyao appeared, she became the center of attention.

Everyone else in the restaurant started looking over at their table.

They had expected the young people to be loud, but once their gazes shifted, they were captivated by the girl in the center, who exuded a clean and pure aura.

They thought they might have exaggerated, but there really was a fairy!

Lu Yunyao wasn’t used to being watched by so many people.

“Let’s head to the private room; I brought some gifts for everyone to thank you for taking care of me during our three years of high school.”

On the way over, Li Siyu had accompanied Lu Yunyao to buy many gifts.

In the past, Lu Yunyao had no money to repay her friends who had treated her well, but now that she finally had the means, she wanted to make up for it.

“Wow, Yunyao, you’re so generous! This set of cosmetics is so expensive. I’ve always wanted to buy it but couldn’t bring myself to. Thank you for giving it to me!”

“You still remember I like Hello Kitty! This plush toy is so cute.”

“Yunyao, you’re so thoughtful. It’s really a blessing to be your friend.”

Lu Yunyao’s generous actions earned her countless compliments from everyone.

The atmosphere in the private room was lively and warm.

But just then, the door was pushed open from the outside, and an unexpected guest walked in.

“Ding Yiyi is here!”

Upon hearing that name, Lu Yunyao’s expression turned a bit unpleasant.
