Chapter 110 Apologize

“I’m feeling good now,” An Xiulan replied. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at this time. This man…who she had bickered with was her father? Why was her luck so bad all the time? The lawyer she spoke nonsense to that day was her scumbag father?

Oh my God!

What does she do now?

She even received a formal apology from him!

Lu Zhaolin frowned as he found her voice familiar. As if something struck him, he held his hand in a position where only her eyes were visible and the next moment he took a step back in horror.

“You are…” the words were stuck in Lu Zhaolin’s throat. Of course, he recalled her now. She was…

The man he wanted to sue for having such children was himself?

What a breaking plot twist!

An Xiulan sheepishly smiled as she waved her hand at him. “Hello, father. I’m An Xiulan. The pizzas were yummy.”

An Xiulan had an urge to dig a hole and hide herself when she realised what she had just done? Did she just snitch on herself?

Oh God, why was she silly at the most wrong time?

Lu Zhaolin was clutching his chest in pain. He assumed he was going to have another stroke again!

“Zhaolin, what’s wrong?” Song Yifei, who just entered the room with Lu Xun, asked when saw a look of horror on his face and an amused smile on An Qinyan’s face.

Before he could say a word or Song Yifei could ask further, Lu Xun tried to get out of her arms as he began to screech, ‘Jiejie!’

“Isn’t it Xiaobao? Mom, how do you know Xiaobao?” An Xiulan asked in confusion.

“That’s Lu Xun, he is your little brother,” An Qinyan sighed. He didn’t know how she knew the baby but she told her daughter the truth. She had no intention of keeping her away from Lu family now that she had met them once.

“Wow,” An Xiulan smiled widely as she waved at the baby in excitement and the baby was screaming to be near her. “Mrs Lu, can I touch Xiaobao? I promise I won’t transfer germs to him. I took a bath. I’m not feverish anymore.”

Song Yifei chuckled and shook her head. “Silly girl, you can have him all you want. Ever since he met you, all my Xiaobao knows is screaming Jiejie all the time. How can I not let him meet his Jiejie now?”

As Qinyan saw how close Lu Xun and An Xiulan were as they were hugging and kissing each other as if they were some sort of long lost siblings, she was speechless at this scene.

“How did they know each other?” Both An Qinyan and Lu Zhaolin asked at the same time.

Song Yifei scratched her head in embarrassment before explaining the story.

“It didn’t seem like they only met once,” An Qinyan wondered out loud.

“Well, I was shocked too. I guess this is a sibling’s connection. We won’t understand it,” Song Yifei replied. She wondered if An Qinyan would have a similar connection with Lu Xuan too.

After playing with Lu Xun for an hour, the Lu couple went back and promised to come with the baby tomorrow again as the visiting hours were over. Of course, An Xiulan wasn’t looking forward to meeting her father or his wife. It was only Lu Xun that she adored.

“Xiulan, do you like babies?” Gu Yanxi asked when An Qinyan went to freshen up and he was on duty to look after her.

“I only like Xiaobao,” An Xiulan replied and he pursed his lips. “Also, Uncle Yanxi, why do you always stick to my mama?”

“You don’t like it?” Gu Yanxi asked in hesitation.

“No,” An Xiulan replied bluntly. “I’m already sharing my mom with someone else. I don’t think I can do it anymore.”

Gu Yanxi was, of course, hurt by her words but he knew that she was only a sixteen years old girl who had no one else other than her mother. It was already too difficult to coax her mother to date him and now the girl didn’t have a good opinion of him. He had to do something about it or else how would he get his ladylove?

“When you were in a coma, your mama was sad and alone. I never saw her so devastated before other than the time you had the accident, “Gu Yanxi told her with a small smile. “Xiulan, one day you will grow up and maybe go far to attend college. What will become of your mother? Won’t she be alone?”

“Uncle Yanxi, I know I’m dense and dumb but I’m not that dense and dumb to not see what’s going on,” An Xiulan sharply replied. “I just don’t want to understand what you are doing or trying to do. Can I be selfish for a while? I just don’t want to lose my mama just yet.”

Gu Yanxi sighed and nodded his head. At least, she didn’t react badly. There was still a hope for him.

Since An Xiulan was weak and doctors were still sceptical about her condition, they wanted to keep her in supervision for another two days.

The next day, when An Xiulan woke up in the evening after a nap, she was visited by Han Zixin who brought fruits for her. Since he was ignoring her last time, this time she vowed to ignore him until he apologised to her.

“I’m sorry,” Han Zixin lowered his head and whispered.

An Xiulan merely ate the tangerine that he had peeled for her and behaved as if she didn’t hear him.

“Little blockhead, I’m sorry,” Han Zixin said again.

Still, he got no reply.

He knew that she was deliberately ignoring him. Instead of getting mad, he was glad that she was well enough to ignore him.

This time, he held his ear and kneeled on the ground. “An Xiulan, I’m sorry for being mean to you. I promise that I will never be mad at you. If I bully you ever, you can bully me back. Can you forgive me this time, please?”
