Chapter 105: 105

At dinner, Lu Xiaomei barely managed to avoid being stared down by her aggrieved second older brother, who was giving her a tragic look as she forced herself to finish her meal.

“My wife? Are you really going to sleep with that stinky girl?”

Susu was amused by the man’s “how could you abandon me to sleep with the stinky girl” look, shaking her shoulders uncontrollably, trying hard to suppress her laughter.

“Just for one night, then you take good care of the triplets. Little sister is feeling quite down today, so I’ll keep her company just this night and sleep with you tomorrow.”

Glancing around and seeing that no one else was present, Susu kissed the man’s sexy thin lips, “Be good, I’m going in first.”

Lips curving upward, Lu Xiaoting gently caressed the lips that his wife had kissed, his deep dark eyes filled with laughter.

After a good night’s sleep, as dawn brightened, the quiet alley slowly woke to the noise of children and adults.

After getting off the bus, Lu Xiaomei headed straight to the academic building.

“Wanwan, over here, come quickly,” Qiao Nian excitedly waved.

“Nian Nian, Tingting, Yueyue, good morning.”

“Wanwan, why are your eyes swollen? Did you not sleep well last night?”

Lu Xiaomei touched her slightly swollen eyes, “I drank too much water last night, and it turned out like this when I woke up.”

Qiao Nian hesitated, just about to say something when the teacher walked in.

Lu Xiaomei quietly breathed a sigh of relief, really at a loss for what to say.

After lunch, Lu Xiaomei looked at the delicate-faced person opposite her, “Let’s talk.”

Huang Chengzu silently followed behind Lu Xiaomei, his heart incredibly uneasy.

The two found a secluded spot, and Lu Xiaomei got straight to the point, saying that her mother had already sought out the Old Blind Man to match their birth charts.

“Since the Old Blind Man has calculated that being together will ultimately only hurt us and lead to no good result…”

Lu Xiaomei clenched her fingers tightly, “Then… let’s split up!”

Huang Chengzu stared incredulously, shaking his head, “Yue Wan, are you really breaking up with me just because of some swindling old man’s words?

No, I refuse, we’re clearly so compatible, so fated! Why split because of an old man’s words?”

Watching the emotionally charged man, tears also welled up in Lu Xiaomei’s eyes as she sniffles.

“I haven’t told you how accurate Old Blind Man’s fortune-telling is? Also, my family won’t agree to this as it is. So… let’s just part ways.

You’ll meet a better, more suitable girl in the future.”

Huang Chengzu still wanted to salvage the situation, but seeing Lu Xiaomei’s resolute expression, he instantly calmed down.

Though their time together was short, they both knew that despite the other appearing to be gentle and delicate, once a decision was made, it would not be easily swayed.

Disappointed to the extreme, Huang Chengzu scoffed, “Fine, I see your family’s true colors now.

Talking about matching birth charts, isn’t it just because my family is from the countryside and can’t provide any support to the Lu family?”

“From start to finish, it’s just disdain for me, a poor boy from the countryside!”

Lu Xiaomei became agitated, “How can you think that? Our family has never thought that way.”

“Hmph, playing the saint while being a sinner. I certainly can’t climb high enough,” Huang Chengzu said before walking away with a flick of his hand.

“You…”

Lu Xiaomei was considerably upset, any lingering guilt vanished as the man reproached her and her family.

Looking up at the vast blue sky, tears in her eyes trailed slowly down her pale cheeks.

Having calmed down, Lu Xiaomei sniffled and stood up to walk back.

*Sigh~*

Looking at the empty dormitory, Lu Xiaomei let out a long sigh of relief and laid directly back on the bed to sleep.

“I think today’s fried rice wasn’t bad, and the braised pork Nian Nian got looked really tasty.”

“Right? The head chef really knows how to cook.”

As a few people entered the room with their backpacks on and saw someone quietly lying there sleeping, they paused and exchanged glances.

“Is Wanwan feeling unwell? She’s usually reading at this time.”

“Then she probably is. Let’s keep our voices down and not disturb her.”

Everyone just thought Wanwan was feeling physically unwell, so they slowed down their movements and lowered their voices, being careful even when flipping through books.

Lu Xiaomei heard the whole conversation and felt warm inside, deeply grateful for everyone’s concern and care.

It’s just that now, with her puffy “walnut eyes,” she was embarrassed to let everyone see her like that.

There were no classes for the first period in the afternoon, and the dorm mates had packed up their things, preparing to go to the library to study.

Seeing the person still lying in bed, a few of them felt a bit uneasy.

“Should we wake up Wanwan? Ask if she needs help reserving a seat at the library?”

“Maybe we should ask? Wanwan usually goes with us if nothing’s wrong.”

“I’ll ask.”

Qiao Nian gently pushed her a few times and asked softly, “Wanwan, we’re going to the library to study, do you need us to save you a seat?”

“Hmm?”

Lu Xiaomei rubbed her eyes, still groggy from sleep and hoarse when she finally responded, shaking her head.

“No, no need.”

Qiao Nian, hearing this, frowned slightly, sensing something was off and found an excuse to stay behind discreetly.

Lu Xiaomei, with her ears perked, listened and hearing nothing more, slowly climbed out of bed and took several gulps from the tea jar.

She touched her dry throat and turned around, only to encounter a pair of dark, shining eyes. Frightened, she jumped three feet in the air.

“Oh my God!”

“Huhuh~ Nian Nian~”

Lu Xiaomei covered her wildly beating heart, almost jumping out of her throat, and said annoyedly.

“Nian Nian, why didn’t you leave? You scared me.”

Qiao Nian crossed her arms and looked at the person opposite her with eyes swollen like walnuts, squinting.

“Spit it out, be honest!”

Lu Xiaomei, dodging looking directly, stammered, “Be honest about what?”

“Hmph, I’ve felt something was off since noon. Look at your eyes, swollen so badly. What exactly happened?”

Lu Xiaomei looked at her friend’s concerned gaze, her eyes welled up, and she pursed her lips, spilling the whole story of breaking up with Huang Chengzu.

Sniffling, “Nian Nian, do you also think I’m making too much fuss? Listening to the fortune-teller…”

Qiao Nian frowned, wiped her friend’s tears, and with a stern face, patted her shoulder.

“Don’t be sad, Wanwan, I support your decision. I never really liked Huang Chengzu anyway, such a pretty boy. Forget him, our Wanwan will find someone much better.”

Lu Xiaomei laughed through her tears, playfully saying, “Nian Nian~”

Time moved to August.

Su Xianyue, nearing her due date, took an early leave. The store was too busy, and Susu hired a temporary worker, very able at the job.

Susu, worried about the store, had been running back and forth between home and work, busy without touching the ground.

She had just returned home to see her mother-in-law beaming, holding a lunchbox.

“Susu, Xian Yue has given birth.”
