Chapter 208: Doing Good Deeds Without Leaving a Name

"It's not that you're opposing me; it's that you think I lack enough self‑awareness, and this Fragrant Baobao of the Fu Family is being snapped up by many people at home and abroad."

"Open disputes and hidden battles are unavoidable, let alone the Yun Family, which is the most assured."

"Lu Xiwán would actually prefer Fu Sijue to stay far away from her, so she wouldn't have to cause so much trouble."

"\"That's true; which family doesn't want the support of the Fu Family? \""

"\"I recall your family happens to have a marriage‑age cousin; shall I introduce her? \" Lu Xiwán said mockingly, looking at Luo Zhou."

"This has long been the rule among these great aristocratic families."

"When they reach a certain age, their marriages have never been decided by themselves."

"Luo Zhou waved a hand, \"That cousin has had a childhood betrothal since she was little; counting on my fingers, the wedding is actually coming up soon. \""

"The two of them exchanged sentences back and forth, and after a short chat they arrived at the house."

"Lu Xiwán pushed the door open and immediately saw Zhong Yun sitting in the middle of the sofa."

"He was still wearing a sour expression."

"\"Finally, you two are back; you didn't tell me about such a big matter? \""

"Zhong Yun glanced at Luo Zhou with an unpleased look and let out a cold snort."

"\"It's not that the incident happened too suddenly, so I didn't inform Senior Brother; I was bound to tell you sooner or later. Why are you in such a hurry? \""

"Lu Xiwán simply went along with Zhong Yun's words and continued, admitting the matter."

"\"Xi Xi told me that it's different from you voluntarily telling me; being in a relationship isn't a trivial matter—what if we get deceived? \""

"Zhong Yun's tone remained unpleasant, and his gaze at Luo Zhou was as if he were looking at a swindler."

"\"We've known each other for so many years, and you still don't trust my character? \" Luo Zhou defended himself helplessly."

"Zhong Yun snorted coldly, \"Exactly because we've known each other for so many years that I don't trust you! \""

"Zhong Yun quietly pried at the corner, not planning to tell anyone, while they were seething with anger."

"\"Now that I've told you, you should forgive me, right? \""

"Zhong Yun gave no reply and continued watching TV by himself."

"\"You haven't told Master either? \""

"Lu Xiwán was stunned for a moment before realizing the question was directed at herself."

"\"Not yet; I'll tell Master later when things settle down, so as not to make the old man worry more. \""

"Hearing Lu Xiwán's explanation, Zhong Yun grew even angrier and slapped the table with a 'bang'."

"\"Afraid of Master worrying, but you're not afraid of me worrying? You should have told me about the relationship when you broke up! \""

"Luo Zhou couldn't swallow his anger either and insisted on firing back at Zhong Yun with this line."

"\"What does that mean, are you just hoping for us to break up? \""

"\"Of course; if you two break up, I'll definitely set off drums, gongs, and fireworks to celebrate! \""

"Seeing the two about to start a fight, Lu Xiwán simply pushed them both out the door."

"\"This isn't a place for a quarrel; if you two want to argue, go argue outside! \""

"After pushing the two noisy people out, Lu Xiwán finally found some peace in her ears."

"Then she met Lu Xixi's shocked gaze."

"\"Mommy, are you really together with Uncle Luo? It can't be just to avoid Uncle Fu, can it? \""

"Lu Xixi still remained skeptical about this matter."

"After all, they have been together for a long time; why wait until now?"

"\"It's as genuine as counterfeit guaranteed to be more real than pure gold; if you don't believe it, you can go out now and ask your Uncle Luo yourself. \""

"Lu Xixi was intimidated by Lu Xiwán's confident attitude and truly believed her words."

"\"Don't want me to be with Uncle Luo? \" Lu Xiwán raised an eyebrow."

"If it had been a few months ago, Lu Xixi would have answered without hesitation, but now that Uncle Fu is an option, she hesitated."

"If Mom were with Uncle Fu, she could stay with Brother Yao Yao forever."

"Lu Xixi didn't answer Lu Xiwán and ran straight into the children's room."
