Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Tang Yuxiu and Yan Shuo’s Love-Hate Relationship

"Xiao Xiao, long time no see."

Lu Fusheng’s voice came from behind, Xiao Xiao’s hand paused slightly while picking up a dessert, then she resumed her indifferent demeanor.

"Hmm, it has been a while. Seeing you doing well, I’m relieved."

Lu Fusheng curved his lips into a smile, forcefully swallowing down the bitterness, "Yeah, I’ve always taken good care of myself, just waiting for you to come and kill me one day."

My life is yours. If you want it, come and take it anytime. I won’t even frown.

Xiao Xiao, with her back to him, stared absentmindedly at the dessert in her hand, murmuring, "Have I been dawdling for too long..."

Seven years of grievances, does it really take a lifetime to confront?

This time she returned, seemingly for Gu Yan’s sake, but she also wanted to have a final resolution with Lu Fusheng, didn’t she?

Over the years, she had thought it through. Dragging it out is the most tiring, it’s better to be straightforward, if going to hell, then together, without anyone reincarnating.

Xiao Xiao tightened the fork in her hand, turned around, and smiled charmingly, "Lu Fusheng, I came back this time for you, do you believe it?"

Lu Fusheng’s eyes were deep, over five years, the roguish air about him seemed to have diminished greatly, becoming more profound.

"Of course I believe you, every time it’s for me."

Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes, "You’re so narcissistic. I will come to you at eight o’clock the night after tomorrow, keep your door open and wait for me."

In Xiao Xiao’s seemingly nonchalant tone, there was a bit of decisiveness, a decisiveness only he could detect.

She passed by him carrying her plate, Lu Fusheng stood there quietly, so, has this day finally come?

The final reckoning?

She finally made up her mind.

Lu Fusheng didn’t know whether he should relax or smirk bitterly.

For Lu Fusheng, such a pursuit was the best.

They couldn’t be together, yet they could still see each other, allowing him to watch her properly.

But even if she were to ruthlessly take lethal action, he would let her.

Everyone defines love differently, their definition was to walk to hell together, never to reincarnate.

Lu Yiyun came over and patted his shoulder, glanced at Xiao Xiao’s departing back, and asked, "What’s going on with you two?"

Lu Fusheng looked at Lu Yiyun, suddenly speaking earnestly, "Yiyun, we have reached the end, if I get killed, remember, don’t tell anyone, nor bear any grudges."

Lu Yiyun was stunned, "You..."

Lu Fusheng patted her shoulder and walked past her.

Lu Yiyun still couldn’t quite process it, Lu Fusheng rarely spoke to her so seriously, yet it’s about this...

On the other side, Tang Yuxiu, Gu Yan, Yan Shuo, and the two little ones sat in the corner, to others it looked like a family meeting was taking place.

"Xiao Yan, why did you bring the two kids to the banquet?"

Yan Shuo’s question reminded Gu Yan of the issue.

She was also surprised when she saw the two kids here, and couldn’t help looking at Tang Yuxiu.

The two kids sat silently on one side, eating their food, not speaking for fear of being scolded by Yan Shuo and Gu Yan.

Tang Yuxiu calmly explained, "Gu Yan had no time to bring the kids, and I also had to work. Them being here unfamiliar with anyone isn’t safe, so I brought them along."

Gu Yan found it reasonable, blaming herself for focusing on work, never considering that the two kids just arrived in Jiang City, not knowing anyone, leaving them at home wasn’t safe.

However, Yan Shuo snorted coldly, "Not safe? It seems like just an excuse. If you really care about the kids, you should’ve turned down all work to spend time with them, yet you bring them to such a banquet? They’re so young, do you think this is appropriate?"

Seeing Yan Shuo’s displeased face, Gu Yan sensibly refrained from commenting, watching them speak.

Tang Yuxiu remained unfazed, "They are my children, after all. They will eventually be exposed to such occasions, and I find it fitting to let them adapt sooner rather than later."

"Hmph, dressed up in such grandeur, just concealing your true intentions!"

Tang Yuxiu raised his eyebrows nonchalantly, "And what are my true intentions?"

"Do I have to spell it out for you? Tang Yuxiu, I didn’t expect someone as scheming as you."

"Scheming? Mr. Yan, what is scheming? I consider myself quite straightforward, unlike how you described."

"Still pretending? Tang Yuxiu, I really misjudged you!"

For some reason, watching their back-and-forth dialogue, Gu Yan felt as if she was witnessing a new, melodramatic soap opera, wondering if there was a hint of love-hate chemistry?

Perhaps it’s her illusion, overthinking!

How could Tang Yuxiu and Yan Shuo have a love-hate relationship?

The ones they love are obviously her!

Gu Yan was shocked by her own thoughts, bewildered in the wind...

Yan Shuo said, "You want to use this opportunity to expose Little Bao and Little Nian under public scrutiny. Tang Yuxiu, you really are calculating, your mind works quite quickly."

Tang Yuxiu, "Flattered, flattered. Little Bao and Little Nian are indeed my children. What’s wrong with announcing it to the world? Being in the dark for so many years, I’m the one uncomfortable."

"Your discomfort is your business, these two kids were raised by me! Did you ask for my opinion before acknowledging them, before announcing them to the world!" Yan Shuo still felt displeased about these points.

However, Tang Yuxiu just chuckled coldly, "Raised by you? Mr. Yan, speak with a clear conscience, the kids were raised by you, was their mother just a decoration?"

The mentioned Gu Yan sat upright, serious as she was just an innocent bystander. What they said had nothing to do with her, serious face, innocent face!

Yan Shuo also snorted coldly, "Without me, could Xiao Yan with her temperament properly raise two kids?"

Gu Yan silently retorted in her mind, what’s wrong with her temperament? What’s wrong with her temperament!

Discussing matters should stay at matters, no personal attacks!

Yan Shuo, you’re still my cousin, is this how you look down on people!

Gu Yan felt unbalanced but dared not retort at this moment.

Simply put, now it felt like there was a war brewing, and she didn’t want to be caught in the crossfire.

These two men, she dared not provoke either, nor did she want to, it seemed too terrifying!

For the first time, Tang Yuxiu felt that Yan Shuo’s words made sense.

Gu Yan’s temperament... actually does cause some concern, it’s fortunate she didn’t lose or hurt herself...

But how could Tang Yuxiu admit that Yan Shuo was right.

He maintained his cool demeanor, calmly stating the facts, "As far as I know, Yanyan has always refused your help, working hard by herself to raise the two kids."
