Chapter 100: He
In the end Lu Xiwán gave in, unable to bear seeing Xi Xi's pitiful little self, she nodded in agreement.
Fu Sijue and Yao Yao were both not at home, so she simply took Xi Xi out to eat.
"Mommy, are you feeling a bit better? Uncle Luo said that when a girl is unhappy, eating some sweets can lift her mood a lot!"
After tasting the little cake that had her heart and mind enthralled, Lu Xixi squinted contentedly, a smile breaking free on her face.
Lu Xiwán was left speechless by Lu Xixi's words, yet she still had to nod in agreement.
"I already told you to eat less; now look, you can't even walk, can you?"
Lu Xiwán sat aside, teasing the round‑bellied Lu Xixi.
Stung by the remark, Lu Xixi straightened her belly and got up, "Mommy, you actually teased me… you didn't help me eat a bite just now!"
She leaned on the chair and fell back down, limp again.
"Who let our family raise a little glutton cat, wanting to eat everything? How could I know which one you won't eat? Now you're blaming me."
Lu Xiwán was about to complain for herself, but seeing that it was getting late outside, she gently patted Lu Xixi's little belly.
"Little glutton cat, get up quickly; I didn't say you'd have to sleep outside today."
Lu Xixi whined incessantly, leaned on her belly and rose slowly, swaying step by step as she followed behind Lu Xiwán.
"Mommy, you're walking too fast, wait for me…"
Lu Xixi kicked her little legs to climb into the car, then collapsed onto the child seat.
"Mommy, you should buy a lower car like other kids' moms; I can't even get in!" Lu Xixi's tiny face scrunched into a sour expression.
Lu Xiwán laughed, "You're not only a little glutton, but also a little lazy one; can an ordinary car you overslept in safely get you to school?"
Lu Xiwán had gotten used to driving an SUV in the United States, and she was too lazy to change that habit back home.
Just a second ago Lu Xixi was joking, the next second she fell silent.
A moment later, a scream suddenly came from the back seat.
"Mommy, hurry to Yao Yao's brother's house! He said… he said Grandpa Fu is looking for a wife for Uncle Fu!"
Lu Xiwán jumped in fright, but after hearing it she calmed down.
"This is normal; adults of a certain age have to get married. Your Uncle Fu is different from us."
Fu Sijue bears the future of the entire Fu Family; a Marriage Alliance is a path he must take.
Lu Xixi, comforted like that, finally settled down, sitting quietly in the back.
"If Uncle Fu marries someone else, does that mean we have to leave Hengshan Gongguan? I don't want to be separated from Yao Yao's brother…"
The thought made Lu Xixi feel uneasy; she loves playing with Yao Yao's brother so much, she refuses to leave him.
"Yes, we originally went to Uncle Fu's house to treat Yao Yao's brother's illness, and even if we go back, you and Yao Yao can still keep in touch."
Lu Xiwán tried her best to console the disappointed Lu Xixi.
Her heart throbbed with pain.
"But Yao Yao's brother said he saw someone add something strange to Uncle Fu's wine; we should still go take a look."
Lu Xixi said worriedly.
Lu Xiwán pretended not to hear; whatever happens at the Fu Family is part of Fu Mingcheng's plan and has nothing to do with her.
"Mommy, hurry to Yao Yao's brother's house! He hasn't replied to me, sob… Yao Yao's brother hasn't replied, is he in danger?"
Xi Xi suddenly burst into tears, and the crying grew louder; Lu Xiwán quickly pulled the car over to the roadside.
After saying someone had drugged Fu Sijue, Fu Yao never sent another message, ignoring Lu Xixi's calls.
