Chapter 102 Huanbao Who Won't Grow Tall
Lu Xingche sighed and gently pinched Lin Yihuan's nose, saying, "Let's go, it's getting late..."
Lin Yihuan said "Oh," and took her backpack from his hand and put it on.
Lu Xingche turned around, reached out and grabbed Lin Yihuan's backpack strap, saying with disdain, "No wonder you're not tall, carrying so many books all the time..."
Lin Yihuan pursed her lips and ignored him, continuing to walk forward.
But she forgot that Lu Xingche had been holding her backpack strap the whole time. Lin Yihuan took a few steps forward and almost fell.
Lin Yihuan steadied herself, stared at him with her almond-shaped eyes, and said, "Let go, or you're not going to leave?"
Lu Xingche touched his nose and looked at Lin Yihuan, who was a head shorter than him, with doting eyes, and said, "Huanbao's temper has been quite volatile lately, hasn't it?!"
Lin Yihuan snorted, slapped his hand away, and walked forward.
Lu Xingche shook his head helplessly, lifted his leg and followed. Lu Xingche's legs were too long, and he caught up with the little girl's pace in just a few steps.
Lu Xingche put his arm directly on Lin Yihuan's shoulder.
"Are you still angry?"
He paused for a moment, then said in a serious tone, "I'm going to sell the house..."
Lin Yihuan reached out and patted Lu Xingche's arm that was draped over her shoulder.
Lu Xingche obediently withdrew his arm, rubbed his nose, and muttered, "Sooner or later, you'll be mine."
Lin Yihuan looked up at him with a blank expression and said softly, "What did you say?!"
Lu Xingche lowered his head somewhat guiltily and said, "I said I want to... cough, sell the house..."
"Why?" Lin Yihuan asked with a blank expression.
Lu Xingche suddenly raised his head, leaned close to Lin Yihuan's ear, and whispered, "Because Jiang Xin has been to this house before..."
Lin Yihuan was stunned when she heard this, and the softest part of her heart was touched.
Lin Yihuan remained silent for a long time, while Lu Xingche smiled and quietly stayed by her side.
Suddenly, Lin Yihuan looked up and said seriously, "Are you serious? Where will you live if you sell the house? Have you thought about all of this?"
Lu Xingche rubbed his temples and said in a low voice, "I haven't considered it. It's just that the thought of Jiang Xin going there makes me feel uncomfortable."
He was more worried that his young daughter would be unhappy, so he figured it was better to move to a different house...
Another silence.
Lin Yihuan kept her head down and remained quiet the whole way without saying a word.
Lu Xingche pulled her back, took five candies from his palm, and placed them in her hand, saying gently, "Don't be angry, here's some candy..."
Lin Yihuan put the strawberry candy into her pocket, bit her lip, and said, "That house is not bad, you don't actually need to sell it..."
After saying that, he probably felt something was wrong and turned around and ran into the residential area.
Lu Xingche watched her run away and chuckled helplessly.
...
Before Lu Xingche even got home, he received a call from his father, who hadn't called him in ages.
Lu Xingche pressed the answer button and said in a cold voice, "Father, what business do you have with me?"
Lu Ye sighed helplessly on the other end of the phone and said, "Hurry home, I have something to say..."
Lu Xingche heard an "Mm" and then hung up the phone.
The "home" that the father was referring to was not the house he was planning to sell, but a luxury mansion in downtown S city.
Lu Xingche's father was a small contractor back then, and he only started a company after marrying his mother.
Not long after, his mother passed away, and his father never cared about him again. He was even raised by his aunt...
