With a "what's the use" attitude and a "dead pig doesn't fear boiling water" spirit, Luo Xikui suddenly became calm and even shouted towards the restaurant, "Aunt Fang, I'm hungry."
Seeing her daughter's unkempt and unrefined appearance, Xiang Zhilan was speechless for a moment and said, "Stop shouting, Afang and Master Wang are both on holiday today."
"Oh." Luo Xikui glanced at her parents, noticing they were dressed quite formally today, as if they were about to go out. She asked, puzzled, "What are you doing here?"
"Mom and Dad are going to a friend's son's wedding banquet," Xiang Hengxi said to Luo Xikui.
"Yes, your Aunt Ye's eldest son is getting married." Xiang Zhilan said to Luo Xikui, then looked apologetically at Xu Ziyu and said, "Auntie didn't know you were coming today, I'm so sorry..."
"Please don't say that, it was too sudden for me," Xu Ziyu said.
“Brother Yu is no outsider, why are you being so polite? He used to come over all the time, and my sister would go to their house every few days,” Shen Tianyu said to his parents.
“That’s well said.” Xiang Hengxi patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said to his parents, “You two hurry up and don’t be late for the wedding banquet.”
Xiang Zhilan thought about it and realized that she had been too polite. Given her relationship with Ni Sitian, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Xu Ziyu was like a son to her. They hadn't seen each other much over the years, and she had become estranged from him.
After saying that, he didn't stand on ceremony anymore, told the children to treat him well, and then went out.
After the two of them left, a little while later, A-Cheng and A-Yu said they had made plans to go to a classmate's house to play games, and then they went out as well.
Xiang Hengxi glanced at Xu Ziyu, then at Luo Xikui, and suddenly remembered something, saying, "I'm going back to the army this afternoon. I have to go out and take care of some things first. Please treat Ayu well."
"Hey, brother..." Luo Xikui wanted to call out to him, but saw that he was running very fast. He truly deserves to be an elite member of the special forces.
In the huge living room, less than ten minutes later, only Xu Ziyu and her remained, staring at each other in bewilderment.
Luo Xikui was extremely embarrassed. He hadn't said he was leaving, and she couldn't very well turn him away.
"Uh, um, ah..." She didn't know what to say. Usually, there was a whole family at home, plus so many servants, but now it was just the two of them. Something just didn't feel right.
Didn't her brother say he was going to have lunch with Xu Ziyu? It's only 11 o'clock now, so it's obviously impossible that they've already eaten lunch. Besides, the maids are usually on rotating days off, so why are they all off today? Who's going to cook now?
"Why don't you go change your clothes first?" Xu Ziyu reminded her after seeing her stammer for a long time without being able to give a clear answer.
Luo Xikui looked down and realized something, then quickly ran upstairs.
Once inside the room, she was so frustrated she wanted to scratch the wall. She had been wearing a sports bra under her pajamas, which wouldn't have revealed any unsightly nipples, but there was still a difference between wearing a bra and not wearing a sports bra!
Could it be that he figured it out, which is why he reminded me?
Probably not...
After patting her forehead several times, Luo Xikui changed into a bra and dress, washed her face again, tied her hair up, and looked at herself in the mirror for a while.
Just as I was about to put on an earring, I suddenly lowered my hand.
Why is she dressed up like this? It's impossible for her and him anymore, so give up on her.
Luo Xikui let out a long sigh, somewhat reluctant to go downstairs to face him, and lingered in the room.
Thinking that if too much time passes, he might not be able to wait any longer and might leave.
