“…”

“I’ve already received her consent. Her family has abandoned her for good. After I take care of her heartless, good-for-nothing father, I’ll grab her over and let you raise her. It’s not like we can’t afford to feed an extra mouth anyways.” 

Song Qingwan had always been somewhat of a tyrant. She didn’t care about morality. It was rare to come across a little girl that she could stand, let alone take a liking to. Of course, she wasn’t prepared to let anyone take the girl away. 

Especially when her family wasn’t treating her well. Song Qingwan felt heartbroken just thinking about it. If that was the case, she might as well adopt her, since there was nothing that money couldn’t solve.

If not, he could always ask Lu Junhan to use his influence against them.

She didn’t believe that she couldn’t snatch a little girl over!

Lu Junhan’s eyes were filled with impatience, “Don’t bring any shady children into my home. I’m not running a kindergarten.”

“Shady?! You’re shady! If you dare talk about my granddaughter like that again, you will never hear the end of this, you hear me?!”

She was already so protective of her before she officially adopted her. And she even called it her granddaughter. How is that alright?

When he started imagining a little snot-nosed troublemaker running around the house, calling him daddy, Lu Junhan’s facial expression became even darker.

“Don’t you hate little girls?’

Memories of that sad little face from before flooded his mind after he said that. It only made him more irritated.

“I did? Who told you that?” Song Qingwan pretended not to remember her stance and said, “When was that? How can I possibly not know that?”

“…”

“She’s not from the Lu Family.”

Song Qingwan didn’t seem like she was under any pressure at all, “I think she looks quite a lot like us. She’ll fit right into the Lu family like a hand in a glove! And the similarity doesn’t just end there! Her surname’s Lu as well! What a coincidence! Not to mention the fact that she isn’t scared of people with terrible tempers, just like you when you were a baby!”

“No matter how much she resembles us, she’s not part of the Lu Family. Send her back!”

“As long as I acknowledge her as part of the Lu Family, then she will be a part of our family!”

Song Qingwan wasn’t afraid of him and said, “Anyways, if you still see me as your aunt, then get the hell down here right now. I guarantee that you will like her the moment you see her!”

Like?

She must be joking!

Lu Junhan didn’t say anything and hung up the call with a cold face. He grabbed his blazer which was draped on the sofa and stormed out of his room!

Alright.

He wanted to see which troublemaker it was this time to appear before him!

…

“Lili, eat slowly. I don’t want you to choke on your food. After you’re done, I’ll go take some more for you…”

At the dessert section,

Song Qingwan looked at Lu Li, who was eating cake with a kind face. From time to time, she would take out a piece of napkin to wipe the little girl’s mouth clean. The way she acted was so gentle that it even astonished her bodyguards. 

“Okay! Thank you, auntie!”

The little girl was so happy that her eyes were curved upwards. Her eyes seemed to be filled with stars, and they looked exquisitely gorgeous.

Song Qingwan stroked her face with a gentle smile and said, “Good girl.”

At the next second, Lu Li pushed a spoonful of cake towards her and with a cute, baby-like voice, she urged, “Auntie, you should take a bite as well! This cake is super delish!” 

Looking down at her, Song Qingwan felt as if her heart was going to melt. But in the end, she still shook her head, “I don’t enjoy sweet things. Lili, you can have them all for yourself.”

The bodyguard wasn’t surprised.

Ms. Song’s dislike for sugary food stretched back to when she was just a little girl. Even the coffee that she drank was as bitter as medicine. Despite how intolerable it was to the ordinary palate, she’d still refuse to add sugar to her coffee.

This was one aspect in which Young Master Lu was similar to her.

Considering how tyrannical their personalities were if someone were to force them to eat sweet stuff, judging by how short their fuses were, that person would be dead before he or she knew it. 

“Alright…”

Lu Li pulled her hand back with a disappointed expression before muttering, “But this is so delicious…”

When Song Qingwan saw her hanging her head like that, and that dejected expression on her face, she said reluctantly, “…perhaps I’ll try a bite?”

“???”

The bodyguards were puzzled.
