Song Yifei was kind of sad when An Xiulan and Lu Xuan were leaving but she knew it was for the best. Looking at them, she said, “Children, take care of each other. When you have time, don’t forget to visit. I will ask the kitchen to pack your favourite food. You can take it back with you.”
“Auntie, can you please ask the kitchen to add Lotus root and pork soup?” An Xiulan asked innocently while Lu Xuan gaped at her.
Song Yifei laughed. From Mrs Lu to Aunt Song to Auntie, she had come a long way. She was happy that An Xiulan was not rude to her. What she didn’t know was that An Xiulan had no reason to be rude to her!
All she had for her was politeness initially and respect as this stepmother was a hundred times better than the one she had in her previous life. She had heard and seen all stepmothers to be of cruel type but Song Yifei broke all the stereotypes of a conventional stepmother.
Song Yifei chuckled heartily, “Sure. Sure. I will ask the kitchen. Next time when you come, I will take you shopping. I love going shopping but I have no one to accompany me. My niece loves books more than clothes. What about you, Xiulan?”
Initially, An Xiulan didn’t like shopping as she believed that she would make her mom poor with her expenses but when her mom made her understand that they had so much money that they couldn’t spend in this life, she understood that they were rich people! And she easily agreed with her mom, why?
Because even in her last life her mom was extremely rich as she was someone from the royal family.
She had to say that her mom was no less than royalty even now.
An Xiulan gushed, “I love makeup. Glitter eyeliners. And lipstick. And clothes too. Beautiful one. And I love books too. But I love my mom the most.”
“Haha, then we will go shopping, alright?”Song Yifei asked with a smile.
“I will ask my mom’s permission first,” An Xiulan said.
“We are getting late.” Lu Xuan grunted as he stood at the door.
An Xiulan waved at all of them, “Bye Xiaobao. Bye Auntie. Bye, father.”
Before she could wave more, he was dragging her with her.
Lu Xuan asked her as they were sitting in the car, “Aren’t you ashamed of asking people for food?”
An Xiulan snorted. “What’s shameful when it comes to food? Also, I didn’t ask for soup for me. I asked for mom. She loves lotus root soup with pork in it. I was thinking about her.”
What was wrong with thinking about their mom?
She was being a good baby, okay!
“Aren’t you afraid that mom will not touch anything made by my father and his wife?” Lu Xuan asked. All the dramas that he had watched with his grandmother showed how the first wife would hate the second wife and the scumbag ex-husband. He has seen once the second wife giving food to ex-wife out of generosity but she threw it all over the former.
Wasn’t his sister worried about something like this?
Well, he was!
Song Yifei was after all Lu Xun’s mom and they couldn’t be cruel to her.
An Xiulan gave him a weird look. Wasn’t his thinking so old-fashioned? “Do you think our mom is immature and petty? Of course, not. She is a businesswoman. We have scarce resources and we have to make the best use of them. She says never to miss good things in the face of anger or jealousy. Seize them first and be angry or jealous later.”
“You are crazy.” This was the only thing he could say to her right now.
An Xiulan rolled her eyes as she said, “Also, our mom is not hung up on that scumbag. She has better choices.”
“You are going to let mom date?” Lu Xuan gaped. This girl was super possessive when it came to her mother.
An Xiulan pouted her lips. “I don’t like sharing my mom with anyone. I just want her for myself.”
Lu Xuan sighed as he patted her head and said. “She can’t just think about us all the time, right? What if she loves someone and we are coming in her way? We will grow up one day and leave our nest but she will always stay there. Shouldn’t she have a companion to accompany her through the thicks and thins of life?”
“I will always stay with mom!” An Xiulan said firmly.
“Teeny, stop being stubborn, okay!” Lu Xuan glanced at her as he said, “What if you won the contest of Miss China? You will be travelling to all over our country and foreign countries, representing our country. You will have less time even for yourself. How will you give time to mom?”
“Then, should I give up miss china?” She whispered.
That’s why he said she was stupid!
Lu Xuan said, “You shouldn’t. You are good at it. I saw your walks and how you talk when you practice with Miss Qiu. Even if you don’t become Miss China, you will go to college. It won’t be shorter than three years and can be longer than that. You will stay at the dorm, not at home.”
“Then, you stay at home while I study and take care of mom,” said An Xiulan as a matter of fact.
Lu Xuan gave her a weird look. How did she think this world works? “I wanna go to college too. Mom works too hard. She needs rest and I need to study to support her and you in old age. After all, I’m the man of the house.”
In his heart, he was the man of the house who should shoulder the responsibility of his family.
“Aren’t you a delinquent?” An Xiulan asked. “Why do u need to study?”
“Shut up. Choices change with time, “Lu Xuan replied.
“Then, what do I do?” An Xiulan asked troubled.
