Lu Xuan heard from Housekeeper Liu that An Xiulan was in the room and crying pitifully, he immediately ran to her room. When he entered her room, he saw her tear-stained face and her sitting near his father.

“Did you hurt her?” Lu Xuan said as he pulled his sister and hid her behind his back. Since he was taller than her, he was easily able to hide her behind him.

An Xiulan tried to say but Lu Xuan wasn’t in the mood to listen to anyone.

“You can beat me, scold me or anything you like but don’t involve her, ” Lu Xuan told his father, their eyes meeting. “I will not let you hurt my sister.”

Lu Zhaolin looked at his angry son and sighed. “Guess, we really need family therapy.” He didn’t say anything and quietly left the room.

“Ouch!” Lu Xuan winched when he felt her pinching his waist. “What are you doing?”

“Father didn’t hurt me. He came to console me, ” An Xiulan narrowed her eyes at him. “You didn’t ask me what the situation was and simply jumped to conclusions.”

“Well…” He scratched his head in embarrassment. “Who made you cry?”

“Your grandma and lovely cousin, ” An Xiulan sarcastically replied.

“I don’t have a lovely cousin, “Lu Xuan retorted.

“Zhou Liling came to stay at your home. She wants to share this room with me, I refuse fo even breathe in the same air as her. Your grandma scolded me, called mom bad names and asked me to move out of the room if I can’t share with your lovely cousin, ” An Xiulan snitched on the two people she didn’t like.

“I will talk to grandma, ” Lu Xuan disappeared from the room too, leaving a tired An Xiulan.

Since she had a crying session earlier, she lay on the bed and felt her eyes droopy. She didn’t even realise when she fell asleep.







“Ah Xuan, you have to get me justice, ” Old Madam Lu said with a wronged look on her face. “Your father is angry with me. That girl forced your father to make me write a written apology letter to her and a self-reflection. She was in wrong yet I’m blamed for the matter.”

Lu Xuan smiled as he looked at his grandmother. He pushed the pen and paper that were placed on the table and said, “Grandma, it has been a long time since you touched a pen. Why don’t I sit here while you write the letter and self-reflection? I will help you with spelling if you face any problems.”

“You!” Old Madam Lu looked at her grandson as if she was betrayed by the person she loved the most in the world. While she was scolding the little girl in her heart, the said little girl was in a sweet slumber.

“I will see all of you, ” Old Madam Lu muttered.

“Sure, ” Lu Xuan smiled as he took a book placed on the table and began reading it while his grandmother was doing the bare minimum to console his distressed twin.

“Auntie?”

Song Yifei paused in her footsteps when she heard Lu Xuan calling for her. She blinked her eyes, wondering if she heard right.

“Ah Xuan did you call for me?” Song Yifei asked again.

Lu Xuan nodded his head. “Where is Xun?”

“He is in his nursery, ” Song Yifei said. “He just woke up from his sleep and is now throwing a tantrum. Do you want something?”

Lu Xuan paused for a moment and then said while scratching his hair. “Auntie, can you make something sweet for Xiulan? Mom always feeds her desserts to cheer her up.”

Song Yifei’s eyes lit up when she heard Lu Xuan’s request. She was so happy that she couldn’t express it in words. “Yes. Yes. All you have to do is tell me what she likes? I will ask the kitchen to make desserts according to your preferences. I called Yunyun in the morning and told Xiulan has come to stay here for a few days. She will come in the evening. I will prepare lots of tasty food for all of you kids. Let me ask Lily what she would like to eat.”

Lu Xuan, who had never seen his stepmother, so excited smiled shyly. He only asked her to prepare desserts. Did she need to be this excited?

“Ah Xuan, why don’t you go play with Xiaobao for a while? That boy is throwing tantrums. He only listens to his siblings, ” Song Yifei said with a troubled look on her face.







“Alright, ” Lu Xuan sighed. He went to his brother’s nursery to find him screeching at the top of his lungs. There was no tear in the little boy’s eyes but he was crying as if he was being badly beaten.

“Little fatty, aren’t you embarrassed by crying for no reason?” Lu Xuan asked as he lightly flicked the boy’s tender forehead and surprisingly the boy stopped crying. “You and she are real siblings crying all the time.”

“Gege!” Xiaobao screeched.

“I’m not Gege, ” Lu Xuan said as he put Xiaobao out of his crib and placed him on the rug while he put a pillow on the rug and lay there.

“Gege!” Xiaobao screamed again as he lightly patted his brother’s face. He didn’t like what his big brother said initially.

“This bad boy is not my brother, ” Lu Xuan said indifferently and closed his eyes.

This time tears pooled in the boy’s eyes for real and he wobbled his lip while looking at his brother with a look that said he was being wronged.

“Alright, ” Lu Xuan sighed as he grabbed the small body and made Xiaobao sit on his stomach and said, “Your Jiejie is sad. You have to act cute and make her smile, do you understand?”

“Jiejie?” Xiaobao said with a blink of an eye. It was as if he was being quite serious at this time.

“Practice acting cute with me first, ” Lu Xuan told the boy.

Xiaobao smiled, his big eyes forming crescents and a wide smile on his lips as he said in his babyish language, “Jiejie! Bub! Jiejie! Bub!”

Lu Xuan smiled in satisfaction. “Well done. Practice again!”

Xiaobao repeated his cute act once again.

And again…

And again….

Until Lu Xuan was satisfied.
