Chapter 12 - Chapter 12 Aunt Didn't Get Angry

Then he said, "But, cousin, you're different from your big brother. Back then, your big brother refused to get married and even gave up being the CEO of the Lu Family, all for his girlfriend. But you have no reason to refuse marriage, do you? We, children of noble families, must sacrifice for the family's benefit, and arranged marriages are inevitable. Since you don't love anyone yet, who you marry doesn't really matter, does it?"

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the office suddenly stagnated for a few seconds.

Lu Yun looked up, "Are you finished?"

Ye Yixing was stunned for a moment, unable to discern Lu Yun's attitude.

After a dozen seconds, there was a loud "bang."

Ye Yixing, along with his gifts, was thrown out of the office.

He landed on his butt, looking up at Xu Xiao, who was standing by his feet.

"Young Master Ye, you got thrown out by Mr. Lu again?"

Ye Yixing heard this and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.

When Lu Yun got angry, he didn't say a single useless word, just expelled people, and was very rude, without giving any face.

Ye Yixing clutched his sore butt as he got up from the ground.

Xu Xiao, oblivious to the situation, asked, "Need me to help you?"

"No... need." Ye Yixing gritted his teeth.

Even Xu Xiao, just an assistant, dared to mock him, how infuriating.

Leaving the company building, Ye Yixing got a call from his father.

Ye Yixing complained, "Dad, I got kicked out by Lu Yun!"

Ye's father: "..."

Ye Yixing still wanted his father's comfort, but suddenly heard his father say, "Useless!"

Ye Yixing: "..."

"Auntie, look! We finished all the meat and corn inside!"

"The soup is all gone too."

The two little ones worked hard to eat the meat and drink the soup to not make their auntie angry. Finally, they obediently handed the empty bowls to their auntie for inspection.

"Auntie, please don't be mad at us anymore, okay?"

Actually, they thought the corn soup made by auntie was delicious too.

They wanted to be good kids, not picky, and not make auntie angry.

Su Xingwan was stunned for a few seconds, seeing how quickly they drank the soup and ate the meat.

[Auntie wasn't angry?]

Little Su Hua froze when she heard her auntie's inner voice, then looked at her brother, signaling him with her eyes, wanting to tell him auntie wasn't angry.

However, Little Su Luo didn't receive what she was trying to convey with her eyes.

She kept blinking, and he thought she had dust in her eyes.

"Sister, what's wrong? Let me blow it for you!"

Little Su Hua looked at her brother and pushed him away.

"You little fool."

Little Su Luo was bewildered, why did his sister scold him instead?

Su Xingwan was also bewildered.

What on earth were these siblings doing?

System: [Two little fools!]

Little Su Luo retorted, "You're the fool!"

The sister could call him that, but this big bad Xi Tong couldn't call him that!!!

Little Su Hua got angry when she heard it, thinking her brother was cursing her.

"You're the little fool!"

Little Su Luo explained, "Sister, I didn't mean to curse you. It's the person in my head cursing us."

Su Xingwan: Person in his head???

She went over and held the siblings' hands, then touched their foreheads and gently said, "Did you two think auntie was mad?"

Little Su Hua and her brother looked at each other, then lowered their heads and quietly said.

"...Yeah."

In the past, when auntie didn't talk, it meant she was mad.

They didn't want auntie to turn back into that. They liked the current auntie.

Seeing this, Su Xingwan squeezed their soft little hands with heartache.

"Auntie wasn't mad, but I promise you, if I ever get mad in the future, I'll tell you, okay?"

Then, the two little ones looked up at auntie's pretty eyes.

Su Xingwan: "Also, if you don't want to eat something, you must tell auntie in time. Don't eat things you don't like just to please auntie."

The two little ones blinked, not saying a word.

Su Xingwan: "Do you understand?"

Little Su Hua: "Auntie, actually, the soup you made is okay, not bad at all."

Little Su Luo also nodded, "It's just not as tasty as the one we had in the hospital."

Su Xingwan tapped their little noses and laughed, "You two little rascals."

System: [Hmph!]

Unexpectedly, this cunning bad auntie managed to trick the two little ones completely.

After finishing the corn and rib soup, Su Xingwan made herself some simple noodles and then looked at the two little ones.

"Aren't you two supposed to take a bath today?"

The two little ones nodded.

Little Su Hua raised her hand, "I'll go get the water."

Saying that, she and her brother went into the bathroom.

Su Xingwan was surprised and followed them in.

Then she saw the two little ones laboriously dragging the large bathtub under the shower and skillfully turning on the showerhead, adjusting it to a warm temperature. The water fell directly into the bathtub, filling it up in no time.

Su Xingwan was amazed; they weren't even three years old yet but were so adept and nimble at doing these tasks, proof they did this regularly.

"Auntie, we're going to take a bath now."

Su Xingwan went over to test the water temperature in the bathtub. It wasn't warm enough yet. The two little ones didn't quite master the control, so she adjusted the temperature again and let the water run for a little longer.

The two little ones were puzzled by auntie's actions.

Su Xingwan: "From now on, auntie will do this for you."

Little Su Hua: "Why, auntie? We can do it too."

Su Xingwan gently said, "You're still too young now, and it's too much work for you. Auntie can handle it easily with one hand. When you grow a bit stronger, you can do it yourselves, okay?"

The large bathtub was wooden and could fit the two little ones, so it had some weight.

Although the two little ones usually managed to drag it, if they ever failed to do it properly, it could hurt their feet.

And the showerhead was still a bit tricky for the two little ones.

The two little ones listened to auntie's words and nodded.

Su Xingwan: "So, which one of you is going to bathe first?"

The two little ones looked up simultaneously.

"Do we have to bathe one by one?"

They used to bathe together. The old auntie said that bathing separately wasted too much water, and bathing together saved water. Wasn't auntie worried about them wasting water now?

[See, see. This is how a normal vicious auntie should behave.]

Knowing Little Su Luo's thoughts, the system chimed in.

Su Xingwan asked, "Do you want to bathe together?"

The two little ones were silent for a few seconds.

Little Su Hua mustered the courage and said, "Auntie, aren't you worried we'll waste water?"

Su Xingwan was stunned for a second upon hearing this.

Then she laughed, "It won't waste much water. If you bathe in turns, one of you can lie in the wooden tub, and it will be very comfortable!"

The two little ones' eyes lit up at these words.

"Then let's bathe one by one!"

They also wanted to bathe like the kids on TV, lying down.
