Xuxu thought about it and said in a serious tone, “Yueyue.”
“Mm?” Su Yue answered.
Xuxu replied, “If Zhou Shuang really doesn’t want to spend the night with Lu Yinan, don’t force them. Let Zhou Shuang stay the night with you.”
Ming Ansheng was speechless when he heard her words. His heart was about to burst out of his ribcage.
He wasn’t this nervous when Zhou Shuang was here just now.
Now he was really anxious because Su Yue always listened to Xuxu. He was afraid that Su Yue would agree.
‘Little lass, please stay firm.’
If not, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t jump out of the closet and bring their relationship to light.
Su Yue was nervous as well. She bowed her head and then she thought of an excuse to reject Xuxu’s suggestion. “Third sister-in-law, let’s try it out first. For all we know, Zhou Shuang will take pity on Lu Yinan and let him in.”
He had belittled this little girl’s adaptability.
Ming Ansheng’s lips curled into a smile.
He thought Wen Xuxu wouldn’t deny her reasoning.
“You have a point.”
Indeed, Xuxu agreed. She affectionately pinched Su Yue’s cheeks. “You have the most brilliant ideas.”
Su Yue sheepishly grinned.
She smiled unnaturally.
“Sleep early. We’re going out tomorrow,” Xuxu said. She walked towards Zhou Shuang and Lu Yinan’s room.
Su Yue closed the door and had the fright of her life when she turned around. “How… How long have you been standing there?”
It was late so Ming Ansheng didn’t want to tease Su Yue. He smiled and said, “Relax. I came after your third sister-in-law left.”
“Uncle Ming, lying is tiring.” Su Yue walked over and hugged him.
She had broken out in a cold sweat when she was talking to her third sister-in-law.
She was afraid that she would come in. Third sister-in-law was so intelligent and observant, she would definitely find something amiss.
“You don’t have to hide it from her,” Ming Ansheng said, hugging her waist and leading her to the bed.
Both of them lay down and turned off the lights. They kept their eyes open, only closing them after the doorbell didn’t ring for some time.
…
Xuxu opened Zhou Shuang’s door.
Zhou Shuang had already changed into her nightgown. She let her hair down and it reached slightly below her shoulders. Both of them sat on the sofa.
“I just saw Lu Yinan smoking at the staircase landing. Do you have to be so harsh?” Xuxu frowned. “He’s the father of your children after all. Your room has a sofa and a bed. Why don’t you let him sleep on the sofa?”
Zhou Shuang refuted, “Talk is cheap. Why did you refuse to eat the countless breakfasts that Yan Rusheng made for you back then?”
Xuxu replied, “I only did that to him because I loved him deeply. My heart ached when I heard him coughing in the middle of the night.”
She smiled and raised her eyebrows. “By comparing your situation with mine and Yan Rusheng’s, does that mean that you’ve fallen deeply in love with Lu Yinan?”
Zhou Shuang snorted. “Nobody’s deeply in love with him. He’s not in the least gentlemanly. I will never fall for him.”
“Shuang.” Xuxu looked at her and persuaded, “Don’t say things too soon. Yan Rusheng and I said similar things to each other. He said that he wouldn’t fall for me even if I was the last woman on earth.”
Zhou Shuang was already troubled and confused. After Xuxu’s words, she became even more confused. “Alright, that’s enough. Stop persuading me. Go back before your petty husband comes looking for you.”
