At this moment, Wen Lu's door was opened. Wen Lu was wearing a white shirt on her upper body and a pair of skinny jeans on her lower body, revealing her long and straight legs.
This was the first time Xiao Ran had seen Wen Lu dressed like this. His eyes widened involuntarily. He had always thought Wen Lu was pretty, but he didn't know that Wen Lu had such a good figure.
Especially now, although Wen Lu is still the same as before, her temperament is different. She has a cool and noble feeling that was completely absent from the Wen Lu of the past.
Xiao Ran stared blankly at Wen Lu as she walked out of the room.
"Wow, Lulu looks so beautiful today!"
Just then, Madam Wen came up from downstairs, carrying a plate of strawberries. When she saw Wen Lu dressed like that, she instantly forgot to breathe.
"Lulu, you look so beautiful! I always thought you were more suited to wearing princess dresses, but this outfit makes you look even more radiant."
Madam Wen walked quickly to Wen Lu's side, her smile carrying a proud expression, as if Wen Lu were the best creation she had nurtured.
Seeing the satisfied look in Madam Wen's eyes, Wen Lu smiled sweetly, stepped forward, hugged Madam Wen's arm, and said coquettishly, "I'm glad Mom likes it. I also like the pretty dresses that Mom chose for me."
Seeing that Wen Lu was as well-behaved as ever, Madam Wen felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She patted Wen Lu's hand that was holding her arm and turned to look at the two people standing to the side.
"Alright, since you're all here, the three of you can go to the living room next door and have a good chat. You're all the same age, so you'll have common topics to talk about. I won't disturb you any longer."
Madam Wen wanted to give Wen Lu and Xiao Ran a chance to be alone, but with Su Yu present, she couldn't very well suggest that Su Yu keep quiet. So she simply let the three of them chat together.
Hearing Madam Wen say this, Wen Lu happily took the strawberries from Madam Wen's hand, sweetly said thank you, and then casually took Xiao Ran's hand and led Xiao Ran towards the living room on the third floor.
As Wen Lu walked past Su Yu, she raised an eyebrow arrogantly. Didn't Su Yu want a mother and a man? Then she would make sure Su Yu got nothing.
Su Yu was furious at Wen Lu's behavior. She still couldn't understand what went wrong and how Wen Lu had suddenly become like this.
Watching Wen Lu and Madam Wen interact, Su Yu felt incredibly jealous. She was clearly their daughter, but she couldn't understand why Madam Wen wouldn't let her call her "Mom" and was always so cold and indifferent to her.
Xiao Ran's appearance also made her heart flutter for a moment. She had just clearly seen the change in Xiao Ran's eyes when he saw Wen Lu come out of the room; that amazement was impossible to hide.
After confirming that no one could see what they were doing, Wen Lu quickly released Xiao Ran's hand, walked briskly to the coffee table, placed the strawberries on it, and took out a wet wipe to wipe her palms.
Xiao Ran watched Wen Lu's actions without noticing the change in Wen Lu's eyes. Her gaze had changed from innocent and cute to cold and distant, as if the contact between the two of them made her very disgusted.
Xiao Ran was still immersed in his amazement at Wen Lu's appearance. He walked to Wen Lu's side, sat down on the sofa next to her, took a strawberry from the plate, handed it to Wen Lu, and spoke softly, like the sound of a deep cello.
"I brought you these strawberries especially. They're very sweet and were airlifted from Dandong early this morning."
After carefully wiping her slender fingers with a wet wipe, Wen Lu casually tossed the wipe into a nearby trash can. She raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Ran indifferently. This was the first time she had looked at the man in front of her carefully, and he was indeed quite handsome.
“I can’t eat it. I ate the cake Su Yu gave me yesterday at noon, and I had diarrhea all afternoon. I didn’t even have time to participate in your piano competition, which is such a pity.”
"Diarrhea? Didn't you go out with your friends yesterday?" Xiao Ran asked, puzzled.
Xiao Ran frowned as he looked at Wen Lu. Why did Wen Lu say something different from what Su Yu said?
"No, I was home all afternoon yesterday. Su Yu brought me a strawberry cake at noon yesterday. After I ate it, I felt unwell and had diarrhea. So I asked Su Yu to take the gift I wanted to give you. Why didn't you receive the gift?"
Wen Lu blinked her innocent big eyes and spoke to Xiao Ran. Her aggrieved expression unconsciously evoked a feeling of pity in people, and Xiao Ran felt the same way.
"Really? Su Yu didn't give you a gift?"
Seeing that Xiao Ran's expression was rather unpleasant, Wen Lu roughly guessed that Su Yu must have lied to Xiao Ran yesterday in order to please him, and as for the gift... Su Yu probably kept it for herself, right?
"That's not true, Brother Xiao Ran, you have to believe me. I didn't lie yesterday. She came back very late last night, how could she..."
Su Yu suddenly rushed out from the corner and walked up to Xiao Ran, wanting to explain what happened yesterday. Yesterday, in order to make Xiao Ran dislike Wen Lu, she deliberately told Xiao Ran that Wen Lu did not want to participate in her piano competition and thought the piano competition was very boring.
Although she returned to the Wen family, she didn't have as much pocket money as Wen Lu, so she directly claimed that the gift Wen Lu had prepared for Xiao Ran was hers.
She didn't expect Wen Lu to bring this up directly.
"Enough! Su Yu, what else do you want to explain? Are you going to explain to Xiao Ran how you used the cake to frame me, or are you going to explain why you sent me an address in the southern suburbs when you were clearly attending Xiao Ran's celebration party in the city?"
Wen Lu sat on the sofa and spoke casually. While she spoke, she kept an eye on Xiao Ran's expression. As she watched Xiao Ran's expression gradually turn cold and somber, she felt extremely happy.
It feels pretty good to tear things apart without seeing blood.
Su Yu was speechless after being silenced by Wen Lu's words. She wanted to argue, but seeing Xiao Ran's expression, she couldn't say a word. She knew that Xiao Ran now completely believed Wen Lu's words.
Su Yu looked at Xiao Ran with her pale face and innocent big eyes. She was gambling that Xiao Ran would be biased towards her because they had been intimate yesterday.
"I received your gift. Is it this bracelet? I really like it."
Looking at Su Yu's innocent expression, Xiao Ran's heart softened. He knew that Su Yu had not had an easy time since returning to the Wen family, and he did not want Wen Lu to use this matter to make things difficult for her and make it even harder for her to live in this family.
