Chapter 85: Just One Blanket

Yao Yao's eyes seemed to sparkle, looking at the two of them expectantly.

Lu Xiwán stayed silent, raised an eyebrow and glanced at Fu Sijue.

Whoever poked the hole in the bag should fix it.

"They're together," Fu Sijue insisted! Lu Xiwán's mind buzzed.

Lu Xixi immediately beamed with a laugh, "See, I told you—they've been keeping it from us all along!"

The two little milk dumplings were overjoyed, but Lu Xiwán, who wanted to be a hands‑off manager, wore a disdainful expression; she didn't want to be tangled with that scumbag.

"So are you both going to sleep in the same room tonight?" Lu Xixi asked with a smiling squint.

Lu Xiwán: "..." My own sister, my blood, she betrayed me, yet I still love her!

"Where did you get that... idea?"

Lu Xixi answered seriously, "It was on TV—boyfriends and girlfriends are supposed to sleep in the same room, otherwise how will Yao Yao and I have younger brothers and sisters later!"

With those words, Lu Xiwán's face flushed instantly, half embarrassed, half angry.

But the one saying that is her own sister; she's still little, good education can fix her, not beating! Not beating! Not beating!

"Little Xi Xi, children shouldn't meddle in adult matters!" Lu Xiwán scolded with a stern face.

How can she explain to a four‑year‑old that the man in front of her is a total scumbag, possibly even the type who abandons his wife and child?

Moreover, Yao Yao is also here.

Lu Xixi stuck out her tongue, obediently shut up, and leaned against Yao Yao's ear to whisper.

What they said is unknown, but Yao Yao solemnly nodded.

Lu Xiwán's body tensed, and she gave Fu Sijue a discreet glare.

All this is the result of his reckless words!

After arriving at Hengshan Gongguan, Lu Xiwán shot out like an arrow released from a bow.

The two children locked eyes with Fu Sijue, each seeing a few words in the other's gaze.

She became shy.

Rushing back to her room, Lu Xiwán suddenly realized, and gently patted her slightly flushed face.

She hadn't done anything wrong, why hide?!

Irritated, Lu Xiwán tugged at her hair and headed straight into the bathroom to wash up.

Just as she left the bathroom, Lu Xiwán bumped into a panicked Yao Yao.

"Mommy, go check quickly! Daddy fainted inside the bathroom!"

Lu Xiwán's heart gave a sudden thump; without a second thought, she followed right behind Yao Yao and went out.

Detouring to the old mansion caused a delay; when they returned, the servant had already gone to rest, and with the adult in trouble, Yao Yao could only come looking for her.

Before reaching Fu Sijue's bedroom door, she saw Lu Xixi anxiously pacing around the doorway.

After Lu Xiwán went in and didn't see Fu Sijue, she turned to ask Yao Yao, only to see the bedroom door mercilessly shut.

Lu Xixi's sly voice rang from outside the door.

"Mom, I'm doing this all for you! Tomorrow morning we'll come and open the door for you!"

Then a series of footsteps; Lu Xiwán tried to open the door many times to no avail.

The sound of water from the bathroom caught Lu Xiwán's attention, so she decisively gave up trying to open the door herself, calmly sitting on the bed waiting for Fu Sijue to emerge.

After half an hour of waiting, Fu Sijue emerged, upper body naked, lower half wrapped in a bath towel.

Lu Xiwán was so startled she leapt up from the bed.

"Hurry and put on your pajamas!"

She only glanced, but Lu Xiwán's ears flushed bright red; she kept reciting the Pure Heart Incantation in her mind.

Fu Sijue's lips curled into a smile, and he slowly fetched clothes from the changing room.

"Why are you here with me?"

The moment he said that, Lu Xiwán got angry, covered her eyes and began ranting about the two little milk dumplings.

"They actually lied, saying you fainted, and then locked me in your room! Do you have a key here? Let's get out quickly."

Lu Xiwán said this through clenched teeth.

She resolved to give Lu Xixi a good scolding once she got out.

Now she's even learned to set traps for her own mother! That's the last straw!

Fu Sijue shook his head helplessly, "I don't have a key either; even if I did, how would we open the door?"

Clearly going out today was unrealistic; after Fu Sijue repeatedly confirmed, Lu Xiwán gave up the idea.

But... after glancing at the only bed in the room, Lu Xiwán hesitated.

Who could refuse a soft, fragrant big bed?

Lu Xiwán wrestled with herself repeatedly, and in the end pride overcame desire; she solemnly refused Fu Sijue's suggestion to sleep on the bed.

"Give me a blanket, and I'll be fine sleeping on the carpet."

Lu Xiwán felt immensely relieved; Fu Sijue's room was carpeted.

Otherwise she wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow.

Fu Sijue thought for a moment, "Just one blanket."

Lu Xiwán fell silent too, looking at Fu Sijue with suspicion.

"You can look wherever you want; I only have this one blanket."

Fu Sijue spread his hands openly.
