Chapter 124
Lu Baiyi, who was being looked at by Xu Gui, had a somewhat helpless expression on his face.
He glanced at Lu Baiyuan and said, "She heard some nonsense from someone saying that 'Xuanzhu' is a very precious pearl, so these past two days she's been clamoring at home to change her name to Lu Xuanzhu."
“But I’ve never heard of this so-called Mysterious Pearl before.” Lu Baiyi shook his head. He had heard of pearls, oriental pearls, gold pearls, and silver pearls, but he had never heard of the so-called “Mysterious Pearl”. It was clear that this so-called Mysterious Pearl was definitely a scam.
"..." Xu Guiyi didn't know what expression to make for a moment.
She pondered how to tell Lu Boyi that she was the one who "talked nonsense" to his sister. Oh, no! She wasn't talking nonsense. The "Mysterious Pearl" was an extremely precious item in their Xuan Turtle clan.
Thinking this, Xu Gui couldn't help but glance at Lu Baiyi, then glance at Lu Baiyi again, and puffed out his cheeks.
Lu Baiyi was also wondering who this person who was "talking nonsense" was when he suddenly heard Xu Gui whisper, "It's me..."
Xu Gui's voice was very low. Lu Baiyi didn't hear what she said, so he looked at her and asked, "What did you say?"
"I said it was me!" Xu Gui raised his voice, looking at Lu Baiyi defiantly, and said, "The one who lied to your sister was me! I was the one who told her that 'Xuanzhu' is a very precious bead!"
Lu Baiyi: "..."
He looked at Xu Gui glaring at him, and at that moment only one thought occupied his mind: "Oh no."
"Yuan, so it was you?" Lu Baiyi's mind was racing. He said, "If it's you, Xiao Gui, you're definitely not talking nonsense. There must be such a precious pearl in this world... Oh, right, this is the osmanthus cake I made!"
Lu Boyi chose to shift his gaze. He took out a transparent food storage container from his pocket, inside which were neatly arranged beautiful and tempting osmanthus cakes.
On the top layer of the osmanthus cake, a layer of osmanthus honey is poured. You can clearly see the transparent honey coating the golden osmanthus petals on the cake, making it look exceptionally tempting. Even through the transparent food storage container, the unique sweet aroma of osmanthus honey seems to waft over.
As expected, Xu Gui's eyes were unconsciously glued to it after seeing it.
"I also made mochi, mango and strawberry flavors..." Lu Boyi brought over another food storage container, which was kept in ice and exuded a chill when taken out.
He said, "I made five in total, so you can share them with your friends."
Xu Gui nodded enthusiastically, her face showing great excitement. Seeing this, Lu Baiyi's expression softened.
"Oh, by the way, my mom and the others want to treat you to a meal later." Lu Boyi suddenly remembered this and said to Xu Gui, "They want to thank you in person. That day, it was all thanks to you taking care of Yuan Yuan."
After the news of Lu Baiyuan running away from kindergarten reached Lu's parents, the couple could no longer continue their trip and returned home on the same day they heard the news. After learning the whole story, the couple were both angry and scared, and they were also very grateful to Xu Gui.
Therefore, they really wanted to treat Xu Gui to a meal.
After listening, Xu Gui thought for a moment and said, "But I don't have time lately." She is currently busy filming "360 Trades," and after that, she will join a TV series production. After that, there might be other plans.
After doing this calculation, Xu Gui couldn't help but sigh, "I'm so busy."
Seeing her serious expression, Lu Boyi smiled and said softly, "It's alright, we can make arrangements when you have time. You are Yuan Yuan's savior, so it's only right that we accommodate your schedule."
Since he said that, Xu Gui nodded: "It's a free meal, so why not take it?"
After they finished speaking, one had to film and the other had to work, so they naturally had to separate. At this moment, Lu Baiyuan hugged Xu Gui tightly and refused to let go, puffing out his cheeks and saying, "I want to be with Sister Xu Gui!"
Lu Baiyi: "Your sister Xu Gui has work and doesn't have time to play around with you. Yuan Yuan, be good, I'll have Uncle Wang take you home."
"Yuan Yuan is being disobedient!" Lu Baiyuan shook her head vigorously and said, "Yuan Yuan doesn't want to go home, Yuan Yuan wants to stay with Sister Xu Gui!"
Lu Baiyi: "..."
“Sister,” Lu Baiyuan looked up from Xu Gui’s arms, gazing at her expectantly, and said sweetly, “Yuanyuan likes you the most, the most! Sister! Sister, please don’t send Yuanyuan away, Yuanyuan will be obedient, Yuanyuan promises.”
She kept calling him "Yuan Yuan," and Xu Gui could only hear the soft, gurgling sound in his ears...
She looked down at Lu Baiyuan intently and asked, "Do you really want to be with me?"
Lu Baiyuan nodded vigorously: "Yes, Yuan Yuan really likes her older sister."
As she spoke, she rubbed her soft, fragrant face against Xu Gui's face, saying softly, "Let Yuan Yuan stay with you, Yuan Yuan hasn't seen her sister in so long, she really, really misses her sister!"
Xu Gui: !
Xu Gui was unwilling to admit that he was charmed by the child—human cubs, terrifyingly so.
Holding Lu Baiyuan's soft body, her already wavering resolve began to falter, and she couldn't help but look at Lu Baiyi expectantly.
Lu Baiyi: "...I'm afraid she'll disturb your work."
Lu Baiyuan retorted, "No way! I'm such a good girl, I wouldn't bother my sister's work." She hugged Xu Gui's neck tightly, glaring at her brother with a defiant look.
Xu Gui blinked and said, "No, Lulu is here, she will help me take care of Yuan Yuan."
Both faces, one big and one small, looked at Lu Baiyi expectantly. Lu Baiyi: "..."
Lu Baiyi rubbed his forehead. He realized that the two people, one big and one small, were clearly "mutually devoted" and "mutually attracted," while he seemed to be the villain who broke up the couple.
"You can stay if you want!" Lu Baiyi relented, and under Lu Baiyuan's expectant gaze, he decided to make a three-point agreement with her, "However, you are not allowed to act recklessly, and you must listen to your sister Xu Gui!"
"I'll have Uncle Wang go with you. If you disobey even slightly, I'll have Uncle Wang take you home!"
Lu Baiyuan nodded obediently: "Brother, I will be good."
Upon hearing this, Lu Baiyi's expression softened slightly. He looked at Xu Gui and sighed, "Then I'll have to trouble you with my sister today."
Xu Gui nodded and carried Lu Baiyuan out of the car.

Yuan Lu saw Xu Gui go out for a while, and when he came back, he not only had two more boxes of food in his hands, but also two more people with him: a middle-aged man and a pretty little girl.
Yuan Lu looked at her questioningly.
Xu Gui introduced her, "This is Yuan Yuan, her full name is Lu Bai Yuan, she is Lu Bai Yi's sister; this is Uncle Wang, the person who takes care of Yuan Yuan, they will be going out with us today."
Xu Gui then looked at Lu Baiyuan and introduced Yuan Lu, saying, "Yuanyuan, this is Yuan Lu. You can call her Sister Lulu."
"Mr. Lu's sister?" Yuan Lu looked at Lu Baiyuan in surprise, and sure enough, she found that she looked very much like Mr. Lu.
Lu Baiyuan greeted Yuan Lu politely: "Hello, Sister Lulu, I'm Yuanyuan. I'll be six years old soon! Don't worry, I'll be good and won't cause any trouble for you, Sister Lulu!"
Hearing her sweet, childlike voice, Yuan Lu couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! So cute, such a cute child!"
Thinking of her own niece, who was always so lively and energetic, Yuan Lu couldn't help but think: Sure enough, all the cute and polite children are someone else's. Of course, she also really liked her own niece, who couldn't sit still for a moment.
Xu Gui put down the food container containing osmanthus cake and mochi, packed her things, and prepared to leave. Lu Baiyuan followed her closely the whole time.
Xu Gui suddenly stopped, and Lu Baiyuan, unaware of her presence, bumped into her leg.
Lu Baiyuan rubbed his sore face and looked up at Xu Gui.
Xu Guizheng looked down at her and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"—She could tell that Lu Baiyuan had something he wanted to say to her, as he had been circling around her, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
Upon hearing this, Lu Baiyuan said hesitantly, "Sister, squat down first."
Xu Gui readily agreed and squatted down.
Lu Baiyuan: "Sister, you hold out your hand first."
Xu Gui raised an eyebrow and extended her right hand. Then she saw Lu Baiyi raise his hand, as if placing something in it. Xu Gui felt a weight in her palm.
Only after Lu Baiyuan moved his hand away did she see clearly what Lu Baiyuan had placed in her hand.
—A large, bright red gemstone with a clear, lustrous appearance, clearly of excellent quality.
Xu Gui looked at her in confusion: "Why are you giving me this?"
Lu Baiyuan said, "Sister, this is my reward for you!"
"remuneration?"
"Hmm, I want you to come with me to meet up with someone!"
Xu Gui was filled with questions: "Meet up in person?"
"Yes!" Lu Baiyuan nodded emphatically, his expression solemn and serious.
Xu Gui: "So, this is why you're following me today? To have me accompany you to meet up?"
Lu Baiyuan nodded shyly.
Xu Gui reached out and picked up the child, placing her on the single sofa chair next to her. Then, standing beside her, he said expressionlessly, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Lu Baiyuan quietly looked up, glanced cautiously at Xu Gui, and said in a serious tone, "It's like this..."
Yuan Lu and Uncle Wang arrived at some point, the three adults standing next to a child, listening to her tell her "online dating story." Yes, it was an online dating story.
Who would believe that a five-year-old child, still in kindergarten, has already started an online romance?
The three adults were somewhat dumbfounded.
...
According to Lu Baiyuan, she met her "romantic partner" while playing a game, a beautifully designed dress-up game.
Yuan Lu did a search and found that the game was quite popular because of its excellent character models, good storyline, and especially its beautiful and exquisite appearances each time, which has earned it countless loyal players.
Lu Baiyuan is one of these players, and he's also the biggest spender among them.
"This is my character!" Lu Baiyuan proudly showed his character to Xu Gui and the others. At first glance, the character was flashy and looked quite extraordinary.
In other words, this character looks expensive, and indeed it is.
As the player who has the highest spending and the most characters in the game, Lu Baiyuan is always called a rich woman by other players. Because she spends limited time on her phone and not much time playing games, and she doesn't know many characters, she is seen as extremely aloof and has a very high level of prestige by others.
Under such circumstances, it's natural that many people want to contact her, after all, she's a rich woman with a full collection of character illustrations, who wouldn't want to get to know a rich woman?
Xu Gui: Well, probably no player in this game would have guessed that the person behind this "character" is just a five-year-old kindergarten student who will be six at the end of the year.
"What's the story behind your romantic relationship?" Xu Gui asked her.
Lu Baiyuan said, "That's right..."
