Xu Yan rolled up his sleeves. Usually so concerned about his image, he didn't care about it at all at this moment. He was about to rush upstairs to give Lu Chuanbai a good beating.
"What are you doing! Since things have happened, as long as the two of them can live a good life together, that's enough!" Xu's mother quickly stopped Xu Yan, preventing him from going upstairs.
"Are we just going to let him bully Qingqing?" Xu Yan was furious.
Hearing her angry brother's roar, Xu Qingqing forced a smile on her face and walked downstairs carefully. "Brother, you're back... Lu Chuanbai didn't bully me."
Seeing his sister coming, Xu Yan's expression softened a bit, but it was still very grim. He glared at Lu Chuanbai.
"If you dare to treat my sister badly, I will never let you off!"
"Brother, it's not what you think. There's nothing going on between us..." Xu Qingqing explained weakly.
But Xu Yan waved his hand, telling Xu Qingqing not to say any more. "Qingqing, you don't need to defend him anymore. As long as he takes good responsibility, that's fine."
"Yes! I will definitely take good care of Qingqing and the two kids!" Lu Chuanbai said seriously.
Xu Qingqing shouted at him. "Stop adding fuel to the fire!"
Really!
Others were already suspicious of their relationship, and now Lu Chuanbai was adding fuel to the fire. It would be even harder to explain!
"Good morning, Mom."
"Are you guys arguing?"
The two kids had already woken up. Rubbing their sleepy eyes, they came downstairs.
Xu An'an ran bare - foot around Xu Qingqing and came to Lu Chuanbai's side. Looking up at him cutely, she asked, "Uncle Lu, are you feeling better?"
Lu Chuanbai bent down and picked up Xu An'an. His face involuntarily softened with tenderness, radiating the warmth of a father loving his child.
Lu Chuanbai covered Xu An'an's cold little feet with one big hand and reminded her, "Don't run around bare - foot. You might get hurt. Go put on your shoes quickly."
Then Lu Chuanbai turned to look at Xu Yiyi, who was also bare - foot. "Yiyi, take your sister to put on her shoes."
His tone and manner were so natural, just like a father worrying about his own children.
"Okay." Xu Yiyi obediently took his sister upstairs to put on their shoes.
His gentle attitude towards the two kids made Xu Yan calm down a great deal.
Xu's father and mother were also quite touched. Seeing the Band - Aid on Xu Yiyi's face, Xu's mother asked, "What happened to Yiyi's face?"
Xu Qingqing didn't want her parents to worry, so she said vaguely, "He accidentally fell."
"You should be more careful when taking care of the kids." A look of pity flashed in Xu's mother's eyes. Then she greeted everyone to have breakfast.
"Come on, Chuanbai. Come and have breakfast quickly. I bought a lot."
"Thank you, Auntie." Lu Chuanbai nodded with a smile.
Xu Qingqing watched as Lu Chuanbai got along better and better with her family and the kids. This kind of closeness was not what she wanted.
Although Xu Qingqing had agreed to let Lu Chuanbai come and see the kids, she still didn't want him to get involved in her life.
Xu Qingqing reminded Lu Chuanbai, "Leave quickly after breakfast."
"What kind of way is that to talk?" Hearing her daughter chasing the guest away, Xu's mother glared at her. Then she said to Lu Chuanbai with a big smile.
"Chuanbai, come over more often when you're free. Spend more time with the two kids and build up your relationship."
Xu's mother handed the porridge to Xu Qingqing. As Xu Qingqing drank the porridge, she complained in her heart. The difference in her mother's attitude towards her and Lu Chuanbai was too big!
Little did she know that Xu's mother was already thinking about getting the two kids to change their way of addressing Lu Chuanbai. "Spend more time together. It'll be easier for them to call you Dad in the future."
Xu's mother really had Xu Qingqing's future in mind. Since there was a young man who didn't mind her having two kids and was good in every aspect, she might as well marry her daughter to him.
Xu Qingqing almost spat out the porridge. Her beautiful peach - blossom eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at her mother.
What was her mother talking about!
Xu Qingqing defended herself weakly, "Mom, there's really nothing between him and me. He just came to our house to take shelter from the rain because of the rain."
Xu's mother didn't believe such a poor excuse as taking shelter from the rain. According to Xu Qingqing's personality, she would never have invited someone to stay overnight on her own initiative. There must be something fishy about why Lu Chuanbai stayed.
There was a clattering sound on the stairs. The two kids came downstairs in their slippers, shouting that they wanted to sit next to Lu Chuanbai.
"Uncle Lu, I want to sit next to you."
"I want to sit next to Uncle Lu too."
Xu's mother moved two stools and placed them on either side of Lu Chuanbai. "Okay, okay. Each of you sit on one side."
Xu's mother handed the buns to the two kids. Lu Chuanbai said to Xu's mother, who was standing, "Auntie, go and have your breakfast. I'll take care of them."
"Thank you then."
Watching Lu Chuanbai carefully break the bun and blow on it gently before feeding it to Xu An'an's little mouth, Xu's mother gave him another plus in her heart.
At the dinner table, everyone was in a different mood. Xu Yan sat opposite Lu Chuanbai and got angry just looking at him.
The two kids sat on either side of Lu Chuanbai, snuggling up to him tightly. This made Xu Yan, who was already angry with Lu Chuanbai, even angrier.
Damn it!
These two kids used to be so clingy to him, but now they were all around Lu Chuanbai!
Lu Chuanbai not only took away his sister but also his niece and nephew!
In Xu Yan's mind, Lu Chuanbai's crimes had increased by one more!
Xu's father exuded a low - pressure aura as he ate his rice grain by grain.
His daughter had been deceived by a bad man before, and they still hadn't found that bad man. Now another one had come!
Xu's mother kept picking up food for Lu Chuanbai and the two kids. Seeing how much the kids trusted Lu Chuanbai, she felt even more gratified.
Great! Her daughter had found her destination!
After breakfast, Xu's mother was going to send the two kids to kindergarten. Xu Qingqing waved her hand. "Mom, they're not going to kindergarten today. I'm going to transfer them to another school."
"Why do they suddenly need to transfer?" Xu's mother asked in surprise.
Xu Qingqing explained, "Some kids in the kindergarten bullied and isolated Yiyi and An'an, so I want to transfer them to a better kindergarten."
"What!"
Hearing that someone had bullied Xu Yiyi and Xu An'an, the Xu family couldn't sit still.
Xu's mother immediately stood up, fuming with anger. "Who bullied my precious grandchildren! I'll go find their parents right now!"
Just thinking that these two cute kids had been bullied, she wished she could go to the parents of the other kids and make their kids pay!
Xu Yan looked at Xu An'an nervously. "An'an, tell Uncle who bullied you and your brother. Uncle will go and beat him up for you!"
Xu's father slammed his chopsticks on the table. "Is the injury on Yiyi's face from them?"
"Don't worry." Xu Qingqing asked her mother to sit down. "Lu Chuanbai has already taken care of the kids who bullied them. I just want to transfer them to a better school."
Although the Wang siblings had apologized, who knew if they would take revenge?
