Ming Ansheng waved at Xuxu . “I'll go off . ”
Xuxu nodded . “Be careful on the road . ”
She watched as Ming Ansheng's car vanished from her sight . Xuxu whipped out her phone to call Yan Rusheng .
If Ming Ansheng hadn't mentioned Yan Rusheng, she would have forgotten that he seemed to have gone off the radar for the entire day .
The line got through and she heard the familiar song Love Letter . Shortly after that, he answered . “Xuxu . ”
Xuxu asked, “Where are you?”
She could hear the clinking sounds of glasses in the background, and she wondered if he was in the midst of accommodating someone .
Yan Rusheng replied, “I have a dinner appointment tonight . I will be back late tonight . ”
As expected . Xuxu nodded . “Alright then . ”
Then she pressed on, “Don't drink so much and come home early . ”
Yan Rusheng agreed, and she hung up .
It was mid-April, and the days were longer . It was almost 6 p . m . and the sun was still shining bright in the sky .
Xuxu entered the building, got in the elevator, and took out her keys .
She received a shock when she opened the door .
Su Yue was pulling a suitcase from the room . Xuxu rushed towards her . “Yueyue, what are you doing?”
Su Yue smiled . “My brother just called me and said that he would pick me up . I'm going to his place . ”
“But your brother doesn't have time to take care of you . ” Xuxu frowned . “You can stay at my place for as long as you want . ”
Does Yueyue feel burdened staying at her place?
Su Yue shook her head, and she appeared rather pained . A determined smile soon replaced it . “It's alright, I'll be fine . ”
Xuxu spoke in a concerned tone . “I will be worried if you stayed at your brother's place . He is too busy to take care of you . ”
Su Yue smiled and reassured her, “Third sister-in-law, I'm no longer a kid . ”
“Alright then . ” Xuxu continued, “If you encounter any problems, you must call me right away, understand?”
It might be a good idea for her to have a change of environment so she could learn to adapt and be flexible . And she really needed to spend more time with Su Yan .
After all, they were siblings .
Su Yue nodded . “Mm . ”
“Xuxu . ”
Su Yan arrived while they were talking, and he stood on the carpet at the door . He didn't intend to enter after he had greeted Xuxu . He then glanced at Su Yue . “Yueyue, are you ready?”
Su Yue nodded . “Yes . ”
She seemed so nonchalant and cold whenever she talked to Su Yan . There wasn't any warmth, neither were there emotions .
Xuxu walked to Su Yan and nagged, “Su Yan, you have to take good care of her . Don't just focus on your work . ”
Su Yan flashed a playful smile . “Why don't you move to my place too?”
Xuxu rolled her eyes at Su Yan . “Scram!”
She held on to Su Yue's hand . She then tucked the loose strands of her hair that curtained her face behind her ears . “Remember that you have to call me if you need me . I'll get the chauffeur to pick and send you to school . ”
Su Yan interrupted with a drawl . “It's alright . I can send her to school every morning and fetch her home after work . It's fine . ”
