Jian Dan had just walked in through the door when she saw Chu Liyuan waiting at the entrance, a smile involuntarily spreading across her lips, only to fall as she spotted Chen Xirui rising from the couch.
Face-to-face confrontation~
The phrase from Qiu Zimo suddenly flashed through Jian Danâs mind and once again, her smile curved upwards as she flung her arms around Chu Liyuanâs neck, âUncle, Iâve missed you!â
Chu Liyuan had been wondering how to coax Jian Jian, and this sudden change left him stunned for a moment.
But it didnât take long for him to guess Jian Jianâs motive. His lips curved into a smile involuntarily, as the mood that had been troubling him all day evaporated instantly, knowing Jian Jian had come around and he hugged her back.
To one side, Chen Xirui, although she didnât show it, her complexion clearly changed.
So itâs Zimoâs sister after allâthe direct confrontation works, huh? Therefore, âUncle, did you miss me?â Jian Dan placed her chin on Chu Liyuanâs chest, her expectant little eyes blinking up at him.
Chu Liyuan fondly stroked Jian Danâs head, âMissed you~â And this wasnât just to play along with Jian Jian; it was heartfelt.
That entire day, Jian Jian hadnât replied to his WeChat messages, nor had she taken the initiative to call him, so heâd been distracted at work, his mind occupied with thoughts of how to appease her.
Those two words made Jian Danâs smile widen, and she tightened her arms around Chu Liyuanâs waist. âUncle, can you carry me upstairs? Iâm a bit tired,â she continued coquettishly.
Hearing Jian Danâs soft, mellow voice, Chu Liyuanâs heart melted, and how could he possibly refuse?
He lifted Jian Dan horizontally and prepared to head upstairs~
âUncle Chu, arenât you going to have dinner?â Chen Xirui asked, frowning slightly.
âYou go ahead and eat!â
Without pausing, Chu Liyuan went upstairs, while Jian Dan looked back at Chen Xirui, provocatively tilting her chin up.
As the two disappeared onto the second floor, Chen Xirui was so angry she felt like flipping the table over. She wanted to, but she didnât do it, as she didnât want to give Chu Liyuan a bad impression of her.
As soon as the bedroom door closed~ âUncle~, put me down, please!â
âJian Jian, itâs not nice to use someone and then discard them,â Chu Liyuan quipped, not only not putting Jian Dan down but also holding her even tighter, rendering her struggles futile.
âChu Liyuan, let me down!â Jian Dan, after struggling in vain numerous times, finally blurted out his full name.
âJian Jian, what did you just call me?â Chu Liyuanâs eyes narrowed menacingly.
âI~â Facing Uncleâs direct gaze, Jian Dan could no longer muster the confidence to utter those three words.
It seemed that direct confrontation didnât work on everyone, at least not on Uncle, where it had absolutely no effect.
âJian Jian has been naughty, a fitting punishment is in order,â Chu Liyuan said, his lips curling into a mischievous smile as he headed towards the bedâ¦
Early the next morning, Jian Dan, dragging her weary body out of the master bedroom, wouldnât have woken up this early if not for her meeting with Yuanyuan to discuss wedding plansâshe was both tired and sleepy.
A few minutes after leaving the house she ran into Chen Xirui also coming out of her room~ Instantly, Jian Dan transformed as if she was a different person altogether, fluffed up one moment and now straightening proudly like a peacock.
She tilted her chin up, looking at Chen Xirui with pride, âWhy are you up so early? Donât tell me you had a bad nightâs sleep?â Jian Dan said this on purpose.
Chen Xiruiâs mouth opened as if to speak, but Jian Dan cut in, âIt mustâve been too noisy last night, disturbing your rest, right? Iâm really sorry about that! Blame Uncle!
Donât worry, we will definitely be more considerate in the future to not disturb your rest!
But~ thatâs going to be a bit difficult, so the best solution would be for you to move to a room further away. That should solve it.â
Chen Xiruiâs lips twitched, and she forced a smile, âIâm not comfortable in other rooms; Iâm particular about my bed.â
âOh! Is that so? Well, nothing can be done then. Iâm particular too.
Uncle isnât particular about beds, but he is particular about whoâs with him!â Jian Dan chuckled, raising her eyebrows slightly.
This entire scene didnât escape Chu Liyuan, who had just stepped out, a spontaneous smile lifting the corners of his mouthâ¦@@novelbin@@
