Chapter 116: Wait a little longer

In an instant, Lu Xiwán understood without any explanation.

"We still aren't going out; Yao Yao's health isn't suitable for crowded places."

With a "clang," Lu Xiwán seemed to hear something drop to the floor, and a flurry of panic erupted behind the escalator.

Lu Xiwán let out a light laugh, her clear voice reaching the receiver.

Fu Sijue's breathing quickened, and he soon replied in a low voice to Lu Xiwán, "Let's go then; we can't stay home forever. I'll book the venue, I'll send you the address shortly, and I won't go myself."

He hung up after speaking, anxious as if fearing Lu Xiwán would regret it the next second.

Lu Xiwán ended the call and leisurely walked to the stairwell, where Lu Xixi clutched her doll with a look of grievance.

"Did you tell Uncle Fu that we should go to the amusement park?" Lu Xiwán asked slowly, fastening her shirt cuff.

She inexplicably found Lu Xixi's pitiful expression cute.

In Lu Xixi's almond eyes, two golden specks spun rapidly, her pout on the verge of bursting into tears.

Yao Yao crouched nearby, silently comforting the distressed Lu Xixi, at a loss for words.

"Mom really won't let us go to the amusement park?"

Then what about their plan?

Lu Xixi was extremely worried and glanced cautiously at Yao Yao.

His handsome face showed no expression, yet Lu Xixi keenly caught a hint of disappointment.

Lu Xiwán sighed helplessly and reached out to lift them one by one.

"Lu Xixi, you're becoming more of a worry as you grow up."

"This time Uncle Fu can solve our trouble; what if next time you dig an even bigger hole?"

"Never do that again in the future!"

Lu Xixi's innocent gaze fell on Zhong Yun, who was watching the scene from the side, looking pitiful, his little face screaming 'Help me.'

Zhong Yun simply couldn't ignore the helpless plea.

He helplessly patted Lu Xiwán's shoulder, telling her to stop scaring the child.

"Fine, your mom has already agreed to let you go, so stop being cheap and pretending to be good here."

Lu Xixi nodded blankly.

A moment later, she recovered and excitedly dragged Yao Yao, leaping up and down around the house.

Of course, most of the time Yao Yao just stood aside watching her bounce.

But Yao Yao's happiness was unmistakable.

"You can cure the child's illness and let them go out to play; why are you unwilling now?"

Zhong Yun asked knowingly, prompting Lu Xiwán to roll her eyes again.

"To make a big fuss over such a small thing and spend so much money, I'm still not comfortable using other people's things."

Especially since that person is Fu Sijue; just thinking about it makes Lu Xiwán feel uneasy.

Actually, the main reason is that Lu Xiwán doesn't want to owe him.

By contrast, Zhong Yun is much more relaxed, bearing none of the heavy moral shackles that weigh on Lu Xiwán.

"The Fu Family is powerful and prosperous; Fu Sijue doesn't look like someone who can't spend money. Since he's willing, just let him do it."

"It's not a big deal for him either."

Moreover, to be precise, the money was spent on Yao Yao, and has nothing to do with them at all.

With Zhong Yun's reassurance, Lu Xiwán finally felt much better and reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Fu Sijue acted quickly; soon he sent the address, which turned out to be the city's largest amusement park.

The one who treats money like dirt is probably Fu Sijue.
