Chapter 16: Sorry

~8 min read 1,407 words

Song Lujing left, withdrew his gaze, walked to his sister's side, and said, "I'm here."

He inserted two game tokens, reached out to take the controller, and pressed the button.

The claw steadily grabbed a cute little bear plush.

Song Lujing took out the doll and handed it to his sister.

"" Mu Youyu saw him easily snag it, puzzled, why her grab wasn't like that?

This doubt only lingered a moment; she then lifted a sweet soft Smile, took the bear with both hands and hugged it, admiringly saying: "Wow! Brother Lujing, you're amazing!"

Never mind, praising is fine!

She knew Brother Lujing loved being praised by her the most!

Indeed, the boy's smile deepened at the corners of his mouth, his tone brimming with undisguised indulgence: "Of course, let's go check out the others."

A girl next door noticed, deliberately pursed her lips at the boy beside her, and said, "Look, her boyfriend gets it on the first try!"

Mu Youyu turned her head to look.

The speaking girl was strikingly beautiful, dressed head-to-toe in name brands, her wrists and neck adorned with lots of sparkling accessories; she now pouted her lips like a spoiled young lady.

The guy, embarrassed, scratched his head: "Honey, I'm not good at grabbing this; let me take you out to eat… Damn! Jing Shao!"

The girl heard, tossed the game tokens into the frame, and said, "Eat what? I'll roast Jing Shao! Speak properly?"

What the heck, if it were her brother, he'd have snatched it already!

But the guy didn't notice what she said.

He lifted his head and saw the familiar gray-pink hair, his face full of disbelief.

Song Lujing was drawn by that sudden shout to lazily turn his head.

He boredly withdrew his gaze, a stranger, shouting that loudly—must think they're some acquaintance.

The young man eagerly approached Song Lujing and introduced himself: "It's normal you don't know me, Young Master Jing; I'm An Sheng, the Third Young Master recently recognized by the An Family…"

Song Lujing stopped, his indifferent gaze sweeping over his Awkwardness face, Expression carried a hint of playfulness: "Oh, the An Family's illegitimate child—no wonder I don't know you."

"" That sentence hit the nail on the head, his Smile froze on his face, he didn't react.

Mu Youyu looked at his deflated appearance, his face showing no extra Expression.

Ye Yin beside him saw Song Lujing, first startled, then reacted, immediately glaring at An Sheng with disdain: "Hey, don't just stand there frozen!"

An Sheng irritably glared at her once: "Don't annoy me!"

Ye Yin coldly stared at An Sheng: "What do you mean! Dare to glare at me? Dare to be fierce with me? Let's break up—this young lady has had enough of you, get lost, get lost, get lost!"

An illegitimate child pretending to be a proper young master—just walking with him made her feel cheap.

If it weren't for losing the bet, her plastic brother wouldn't have made her date an illegitimate child to see what it's like; she wouldn't have lowered her status to chase An Sheng for two days!

Now they've only been dating for four days.

But thinking of her certain "good brother" still dating an illegitimate daughter, a wicked smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

Only then did An Sheng realize that if he didn't appease her, they'd break up; this person was still a proper young lady from a major family, far nobler than his recently recognized illegitimate status.

He composed himself, trying to appease: "No, little Yin treasure… I didn't mean to be harsh on you…"

"Get lost, get lost, get lost—do you even deserve to call this young lady treasure?" Ye Yin, unable to tolerate any more, shoved An Sheng away, not wanting to stay tied to him.

Having said that, she couldn't be bothered to glance at An Sheng again, turned and walked away, her steps swift, even breaking into a run, she rushed into the nearby elevator, slammed the close button hard, and flung the pursuing An Sheng completely outside.

"Little Yin treasure…"

Song Lujing ignored them, directly taking his sister to the fourth floor.

He leisurely queued to buy milk tea for his sister; his gray-pink hair and delicate features stood out in the crowd, drawing frequent sideways glances from the surrounding girls.

Some bold ones even came asking for his WeChat.

Mu Youyu boredly scrolled her phone on the chair, rejecting the guys who stepped up to small-talk and ask for contact info.

"" Luo Liu, don't run!' a female voice called from not far away."

A bit familiar, Mu Youyu couldn't help but lift her head to look ahead.

Only saw Luo Sha panting as she grabbed her sister Luo Liu's collar, pulling her all the way to the lounge area, happening to stop right in front of Mu Youyu.

Mu Youyu saw the scene, pursed her lips and lightly laughed; these two sisters are quite interesting.

They came running to the fourth floor.

Luo Sha grabbed Luo Liu's collar: "Luo Liu, what you just did was wrong; I've told you several times already—when going out, you can't point at people. If you don't go apologize this time, I really won't take you out to play again! I'll also tell the second sister."

Luo Liu's originally indifferent face instantly changed; in this family, the eldest sister holds the highest status.

The eldest sister has a cold face, ruthless and heartless, and only dotes on the second sister, being gentle only to her; whatever the second sister says goes! The eldest sister merely gives money to the other sisters.

She fears the eldest sister, but cannot live without the eldest sister's… money.

Moreover, the second sister doesn't even like her!

The second and third sisters get along fine; if the third sister says something in front of the second sister…

If the second sister finds out, she'll tell the eldest sister that I've become overconfident and carried away.

Given how the eldest sister dotes on the second sister, if the second sister tattles, I'll lose my pocket money for at least two months!

Thinking of this frightened her; Luo Liu lifted her head, eyes brimming with tears: "Third sister, don't tell the second sister to stop my card… I… I still need to buy lots of little dresses, and my babies can't be without little dresses."

Wuu wuu wuu wuu my little dresses.

She hasn't bought new dresses for her babies yet.

Luo Sha remained unmoved, family education must start young: "Go to the third floor and find that sister to apologize…"

Before she finished speaking, she spotted the seated Mu Youyu, her eyes lighting up—quite a coincidence.

Luo Sha immediately pulled Luo Liu to her front, using her gaze to signal her sister to apologize right away.

Luo Liu looked at Mu Youyu right before her, her feelings inevitably stirred.

How come this person is also on the fourth floor? If I can't find her, I don't need to apologize!

She just pointed at that older sister and called her stupid—third sister, really, why bother with politeness over something like that?

Thus, Luo Liu's face showed a hint of reluctance as she pouted her lips, "Sorry!"

After saying that, she lifted her gaze, her face saying, "I'm forced—I don't want to apologize either, but I have no choice!"

Sniffle sniffle sniffle, if it weren't for her little skirt she wouldn't lower herself to apologize.

Such a perfunctory attitude made Luo Sha even angrier: "You be serious…… I'm calling second sister right now."

After saying that, she pulled out her phone, making a move to call second sister.

Luo Liu directly faced Mu Youyu and bowed deeply, her voice loud: "Sorry! Pretty! Pretty pretty pretty pretty sister, I feel terrible for just now pointing my disobedient little finger at you and mocking you as stupid—I'm extremely guilty! I'm truly, truly sorry for bothering you, pretty sister; I hope you don't mind what just happened—I really, really know I was wrong. With a heart full of guilt, having said all this, I again say sorry to you, pretty sister."

……

This, full of survival instinct, amused the few passersby sitting nearby.

"This kid really knows how to talk."

"Her little mouth is really sweet."

Mu Youyu watched this amusing scene before her, couldn't help finding it a bit funny, the corner of her mouth twitching, "It's fine."
