Chapter 313: Raising a Flag Is Risky

The next morning, as soon as Lu Xiwán opened her eyes, she saw Xi Xi lying at the head of the bed, her big eyes gleaming at her.

She was still in pajamas, hair a mess, and Lu Xiwán propped herself up with her hands.

She had slept too late, and her mind felt fuzzy.

"Mommy, Xi Xi was especially angry this morning, and the breakfast was also prepared by Xi Xi for Uncle Fu!"

It was only handing over a few eggs and washing some fruit.

But to boost her favor in front of Mommy, Xi Xi shamelessly claimed the work.

Lu Xiwán looked closely at Xi Xi; her little face was flushed, clearly having just climbed up.

"Xi Xi, you're great!"

Still a bit dazed from being forced awake, Lu Xiwán said that and fell silent.

Xi Xi grew anxious again, clutching the bed rail with her small hand, kicking her legs hard to climb onto the bed, and threw her arms around Lu Xiwán's neck.

"Since Xi Xi did so well, can I reward Xi Xi with some candy?"

Only then did Lu Xiwán realize that Xi Xi had been waiting there.

"But last time you really ate a lot of candy."

Lu Xiwán knew that Yao Yao always dotes on Xi Xi, even giving all her own candy to her.

But if this continues, Xi Xi will eventually be spoiled.

"Mommy, Xi Xi knows she was wrong."

Xi Xi nuzzled Lu Xiwán's collar cutely, her watery big eyes staring straight at Lu Xiwán, making anyone's heart melt.

After a few days of reflection, Xi Xi also recognized her mistake.

Resigned, Lu Xiwán patted Xi Xi's cheek and said, "First let Mommy get up and change clothes; we'll talk about candy after we finish the meal, okay?"

Xi Xi also knew to stop while ahead; when Lu Xiwán's attitude softened, she gave a sweet hum, jumped off the bed, slipped on her slippers, and ran downstairs with a pattering "teng teng teng" sound.

From Xi Xi's words, Lu Xiwán learned that the breakfast was made by Fu Sijue, and she was still very worried.

Fortunately, when she went downstairs she didn't smell any burnt odor, and Lu Xiwán felt a little relieved.

Soon Lu Xiwán realized why today's breakfast hadn't failed.

Fu Sijue made boiled eggs, and a nanny was watching nearby.

This way, the whole family managed to have a normal breakfast.

After breakfast, Xi Xi clung to Lu Xiwán like a little tail, aiming only for her beloved candy.

Even the honest Yao Yao pleaded for her, "Sister Xi Xi really knows she's wrong; these past few days under my supervision she hasn't eaten a single candy!"

Fu Sijue said nothing, but his demeanor clearly showed he also supported Xi Xi and Yao Yao.

Under Xi Xi's soft‑pressing and hard‑pushing, Lu Xiwán finally relented and resignedly gave her a milk candy.

"You may eat it, but remember what Mommy said: One Day you can only have one; if you eat more later, you must stop eating candy."

Xi Xi, having obtained the long‑desired milk candy, held it in her hand like a treasure, looking left and right, refusing to put it in her mouth.

Lu Xiwán almost at a glance saw Xi Xi's little intention.

"Today's candy must be finished today; if you save it for tomorrow, it will be gone tomorrow."

That light‑hearted sentence completely shattered Xi Xi's candy‑saving plan.

As the saying goes, "the devil rises a foot, the Dao rises a yard," Lu Xiwán has plenty of ways to curb Xi Xi's habit of loving candy.

No matter how heated the online arguments get, Lu Xiwán and Fu Sijue act as if they haven't seen them, working when they should work, living when they should live.
