“And that’s exactly the case with my uncle right now. Perhaps he only sees you as his shi mei right now without any special feelings, so now you will need to take the initiative. I can tell that my uncle is the type that is slow when it comes to romance and relationships. As long as you can get him to be interested in you, then he will never be able to leave you. Don’t you think?”
“What are you talking about….” Gong Zixuan, still shy, finally had a slight smile on her. It was obvious that she had finally figured out what Cheng Xiao Xiao was trying to tell her.
If she really wanted to be with Luo Junhao, then she couldn’t just wait for him to go after her. She would need to make him aware of her, make him become interested in her. That’s the only way they could be together.
Even though Luo Junhao didn’t express interest toward her right away, truth be told, Gong Zixuan was a little bit happy about that. Ever since she turned 13, any man who met her, or found out about her standing at Palace of Immortal Beasts, they’d immediately bend over backward to appease her. It wasn’t difficult to see the reasonings behind them all.
Now that Luo Junhao did not act like everybody else, even though she was a little disappointed, she was also a little happy at the same time. She didn’t know what to do with her mixed feelings between disappointment and happiness.
After Cheng Xiao Xiao’s pointers, she immediately had a few thoughts and she felt that part of the weight had been lifted off of her.
Sometimes, the best help was to provide just the right amount of pointers so Cheng Xiao Xiao did not press on with the topic. She looked around left and right and, lifting her brows, asked, “Where’s Miss Jun-er? Did she go to play with the mystical cranes again?”
Ever since Miss Jun-er had arrived at the Cheng’s, she had immediately fell in love with the 100 or so mystical cranes that belonged to the Cheng’s and been wanted to tame one to be her ride. Unfortunately, all these cranes already have a rightful owner, so matter what she did she wasn’t able to tame one.
Miss Jun-er, on the other hand, was trying even harder on these mystical cranes.
“That’s just how Jun-er is. She likes mystical cranes and would pass up on any chances to play with them!” Speaking of the one who saw nothing but mystical cranes in her eyes, Gong Zixuan shook her head as in there was nothing she could do about it.
Cheng Xiao Xiao smiled and her eyes sparkled attractively. “Superb! I want see when she will be able to tame one of my mystical cranes!”
“I think you’ve made sure that there was no way Jun-er could tame any of them!”
“That’s not true. Didn’t I let her take her pick and train all she wants? As long as she could train them, she can have all of them!”
“Oh, right. Like are you that generous!”
Gong Zixuan knew better than to argue with Cheng Xiao Xiao. She knew full well that her little sister Xiao Xiao wasn’t someone who’d let others take advantage of her. She would never be that generous.
“Hahahahaha….” Cheng Xiao Xiao didn’t mind being teased by Gong Zixuan. She continued, “Big sister Zixuan is welcome to join her. I promise I will keep my words. Trust me!”
“Hrm! I will be an idiot if I believe in your words!” Gong Zixuan just ignored what Cheng Xiao Xiao was saying. Suddenly, she seemed to have recalled something, “Oh, right, Xiao Xiao. My mom and her group should be arriving in the next couple of days!”
“Eh, those from Palace of Immortal Beasts will be coming too?” Cheng Xiao Xiao seemed to have forgotten about that already.
“Yeah, they will be arriving shortly!” replied Gong Zixuan as she nodded slightly. Then, with a sideway glance, she said, “Little sister Xiao Xiao, are you playing favoritism here? How come you had gifts for the others but not me? Do you look down on me?”
“Hehe, of course not. I wouldn’t dare forget the gift for my future aunty. Here, this is for you. I wish that my future aunt will remain young and pretty forever, and my uncle will always be crazy for her, and never leave her side…”
