Chapter 191: Don’t Cancel the Engagement

Chapter 191

Xu Youlin saw his sister mysteriously pulling Lu Shao's hand as they went upstairs. As her brother, he was concerned for his sister, but he was also curious about why Weiwei wanted to go upstairs with Lu Shao.

So Xu Youlin tiptoed behind the two, crouching at the door to peek into the study.

When he heard his sister confessing to Lu Shao, Xu Youlin could barely contain himself. He wanted to burst in, but his remaining rationality held him back.

His posture, with his bottom sticking out as he crouched by the door, successfully attracted the attention of Xu's Mother, who was passing by the study.

Xu's Mother was about to ask her son what mischief he was up to when he covered her mouth. The mother and son then huddled together at the door crack to watch the scene unfolding in the study.

The sight of Xu Weiwei kissing Lu Shao not only shocked Xu's Father in the study, who thought it was incestuous siblings, but also her nosy brother and mother watching from outside.

After shouting "Outrageous!", Xu's Father quickly realized his reaction was a bit impulsive. Logically, he supported the two kids being together, so why would he lose his composure at seeing them kiss? It didn't make sense.

So he forced himself to sit down and, pointing at Xu Weiwei, said, "You're just a high school girl. How can you behave in such a shameless manner?"

It seemed his earlier outburst was only due to his daughter's immodest behavior.

Xu Youlin rushed into the study, separating Xu Weiwei and Lu Shao. Standing between them, he wanted to tell his sister not to kiss dirty things casually and even considered using alcohol to wipe her mouth, but ultimately decided against it as it seemed inappropriate.

As the other central figure in this scene, Lu Shao lost almost all presence after being separated by Xu Youlin, standing like a ghost in the corner of the study.

Xu Youlin stomped his feet in anger, "Sister, how could you do this? Don't you find it disgusting?"

Ignoring her brother's meltdown, Xu Weiwei looked innocently at Xu's Father and said, "Dad, Lu Shao is my fiancé. I just gave him a little kiss. What's wrong with that?"

You're only engaged on the surface; I never actually intended for you to marry. It was just a temporary measure.

I was counting on you to reject Lu Shao, which is why I arranged your engagement.

And you did indeed strongly reject Lu Shao until recently. What on earth happened? Just two days of school changed your mind?

"Dad, didn't you say the other day that Lu Shao's room was a bit too plain? You told Mom to hire a designer to redecorate it properly. I don't think that's necessary anymore. We're already living in the same villa, and we're engaged. Why don't we just have Lu Shao move to my floor? We can spend every day together and nurture our relationship."

Though she said she wanted Lu Shao to move to her floor, her tone suggested she meant for him to move into her room.

Before Xu Youlin and Xu's Mother could speak, Xu Weiwei hugged them both, patting their backs twice to stop them from saying anything.

Xu's Father didn't notice Xu Weiwei's subtle actions, but Lu Shao, standing in the corner of the study, certainly didn't miss them.

With Xu Youlin and his mother silenced, Xu's Father stood up again. Pointing at Xu Weiwei's nose, he exclaimed, "Have you no shame left?"

In his fury, that was all he could manage to say.

Xu's Mother defended her daughter, "Old Xu, talk to her properly. She's not an unreasonable child."

Xu's Father thought to himself, if this rebellious girl could be called reasonable, then there were no unreasonable children in this world.

Though he was furious and his mind was struggling to function, he clearly understood one thing: he needed to end the engagement between these two children, or things could go terribly wrong.

If Weiwei and Lu Shao were to cross certain boundaries, he would have nowhere to turn.

He reached for his cup, intending to drink some cold water to calm down, only to find it had been knocked over at some point. The water was on the documents, on his sleeve, anywhere but in the cup.

He cleared his throat and began, "I made a mistake earlier. Weiwei and Lu Shao are still young and should be focusing on their studies. I shouldn't have impulsively arranged their engagement. Let's call off the engagement, but Lu Shao will still be part of our family. Just treat him as my godson from now on."

Xu Youlin was the most satisfied with this decision to end the engagement. In his heart, his sister was the best, and no one was good enough for her.

His sister was peerless in beauty, and he would protect her from all suitors.

Of course, Xu Weiwei also wanted to end the engagement, but she was in a hurry now. Her goal today was to irritate her father.

"Dad, but I really like Lu Shao! Your idea of arranging our engagement was absolutely correct. Lu Shao is such an outstanding boy. As expected of my dad, thinking of me first when you saw such an excellent young man. I'm so touched."
