Chapter 908
“I can’t control other people’s feelings and I can’t change other people’s attitude toward me . I really wouldn’t know what to do,” An Xiaxia said honestly .
“…” Lan Yu was rendered speechless . “You’re very frank . ”
An Xiaxia blinked . “Do you like Uncle Meng?”
“So what if I do, or if I don’t?” Lan Yu retorted .
“Nothing . ” An Xiaxia chuckled . “I’m just waiting to go to your wedding . ”
Lan Yu was surprised . She sensed An Xiaxia’s genuine kindness and her heart softened a little . At the thought of Meng Xingzhou’s stubbornness, she sighed . “A lot of things in this world won’t just bend to your will . ”
She would love to marry Meng Xingzhou, but did Meng Xingzhou want the same thing?
The differences in their backgrounds aside, she couldn’t even get past Meng Xingzhou’s mother .
An Xiaxia was at a loss and looked at her in confusion .
Lan Yu caressed her cheek . “How did you and Yize become a couple?”
“We were classmates in high school . We sat together and everything just followed . We ended up getting married . ”
“That’s so nice . Love formed during your teenage years should be the purest of all . ” Lan Yu stared blankly into the air, her head filled with a lot of things .
Such as the death of her father .
The tenderness in her eyes vanished instantly and she gave An Xiaxia an indifferent glance .
“Take care of yourself . ” After that line, which seemed to come out of nowhere, Lan Yu went back inside, leaving An Xiaxia behind, still confused .
Everything had been fine and she got angry just like that…
With nothing better to do, An Xiaxia kicked a few stones away . She then heard a “meow,” which scared the wits out of her .
“Aaah —” she screamed . When she saw a white cat leap away from behind all the leaves, her legs almost gave out .
Hearing her voice, Sheng Yize arrived immediately and pulled her into his arms .
“Cat… there was a cat…” An Xiaxia was almost in tears .
Cats still scared her the most .
It was something branded on her soul and would haunt her forever, like the worst possible dream .
Sheng Yize comforted her in a soft voice . “There, there . I’m here for you . ”
Meng Xingzhou came out in a hurry and looked surprised . “What happened to Xiaxia?”
“She was born in the year of the rat and she’s afraid of cats . ” Sheng Yize used the same excuse An Yibei gave him back in the day .
Meng Xingzhou nodded . “Sorry about that . I didn’t know . Come here, kitty . ”
He crouched down and the cat jumped into his arms obediently . Meng Xingzhou then said apologetically, “I’ll put it back in its nest . ”
“Alright . ”
Sheng Yize rubbed An Xiaxia’s head and said in resignation, “Aren’t you too old to cry over this?”
“I’m not crying!” An Xiaxia said aggrievedly .
“Alright, alright . You’re not crying,” said Sheng Yize indulgently . He then asked in a low voice, “You don’t like it here, do you?”
An Xiaxia tugged at the lower hem of her sweater and looked at him sheepishly .
“It’s ok . Just tell me the truth,” Sheng Yize said patiently .
Summoning up her courage, An Xiaxia shook her head . “No, I don’t…”
“Then let’s go back home . ” Holding her hand, Sheng Yize went in to bid his grandparents farewell, then left with An Xiaxia .
On their way out, An Xiaxia could feel Lan Yu’s gaze on her back .
It was an awful feeling to be stared at .
On their way back home, after much hesitation, An Xiaxia finally asked, “What does Uncle’s girlfriend do?”
“She’s a tough businesswoman,” said Sheng Yize succinctly .
Could it be that… they didn’t know that Lan Yu was from that Lan family?
