Chapter 249: Why Are You Here?

Lu Xiwán's first weekend at the Vacation Villa, Luo Zhou showed up.

Under Zhongyi Shu's guidance, they solemnly toured the Mountain Villa once, and only then gave a reluctant nod.

"Just rest assured, while staying here you can't be without my food, can't be without my drink, what else is there to worry about?"

Two little milk buns played with a kitten on the side, and Lu Xiwán's days passed pleasantly and leisurely.

Luo Zhou, however, glared at Lu Xiwán fiercely, "Your days may be leisurely, but you know Senior Brother and I have been almost driven mad searching for you outside!"

If it weren't for the message Lu Xiwán sent, Luo Zhou would indeed have mobilized the family's power to scour the entire Haicheng from top to bottom in search.

"If I didn't say this, would you let me out?"

Not to mention the two of them, escaping from under Fu Sijue's watch is an enormously difficult task.

Luo Zhou heavily placed the teacup in his hand onto the table.

"Is this the excuse you used to deceive us? If you want to leave, we have plenty of ways to make Fu Sijue never find you again, yet you still choose to lie to both me and Senior Brother; your conduct is downright vile!"

This was the first time Luo Zhou spoke to Lu Xiwán in such a serious tone, and Lu Xiwán let out a sudden giggle.

"Alright then, the two kids are still watching from the side, can you really be so willing to lose face for me?"

Luo Zhou wanted to say something else, but the reason of caring for the two kids kept him from speaking.

"By the way, during this period Fu Sijue has sent twice as many people to look for you; staying hidden here isn't a solution, you can't spend your whole life hiding."

Lu Xiwán pursed her lips, "I could hide my whole life, after all I can teach these two kids on my own."

Luo Zhou instantly became incensed; what he and Lu Xiwán were discussing wasn't a one-sided matter at all.

"Don't forget, this is still Fu Sijue's child!"

Lu Xiwán nodded, "I've never forgotten… you don't need to worry about this any more. When you go back from me, remember to bring Senior Brother two packs of tea I roasted myself, not any worse than those outside. Also, pass a message to my master, tell the old man my days are going great, so they don't have to worry!"

Lu Xiwán looked completely unflappable, fearless of heaven or earth, and Luo Zhou clenched his teeth.

"You arrange everything so well, how come you only…"

"What's there to think about? A beauty in his arms, his days must be more fulfilling than mine here, right? He pretended and sought me twice, and I have to bite the hook and be led away by him?"

A nameless fire constantly smoldered in Lu Xiwán's heart; whenever Fu Sijue's name was mentioned, her anger would flare.

"I'm grateful you looked after me when you came here, but if you become anyone's advocate, I won't agree. Speaking of it, you're still half of my own family, so why are you now defending Fu Sijue?"

Lu Xiwán's words left Luo Zhou speechless, so he gave up and, like Lu Xiwán, settled for aimlessly sipping tea and fishing.

After a day like this, Luo Zhou found himself somewhat enamored with such days.

When leaving, Lu Xiwán gave him a huge bundle of local specialties, and turned to see Xi Xi, drooling with greed.

"Mommy, I haven't even eaten any of what we made ourselves! You gave Uncle Luo such a huge bundle!"

Xi Xi's eyes were full of longing to eat, but Lu Xiwán only gently tapped her head.

"Those are meant to bribe Uncle Luo and Uncle Zhong Yun; otherwise we'd have to leave this place within two days."

Little Xi Xi, too young to grasp the meaning behind 'bribe', was thoughtfully handed an ice cream bar by Yao Yao.

Lu Xiwán suddenly thought of something and let out a sigh.

"It seems these days peace won't last here; you two, go back to the house quickly, I'll think about how to respond."
