Lin Lan had planned to wait for Tong Qiao and Lu Jinshen to come back so that they could persuade Lu Anran. After all, they were brother and sister in name. How could they be together?
But when she saw Lu Anran faint, her heart ached terribly. What traditional concepts, what ethics, they were all floating clouds. She only wanted Anran to be healthy.
Thus, Lin Lan's attitude towards Lu Anran and Lu Ziqian changed drastically. As long as the child was happy and healthy, anything was fine.
Of the three adults in the family, Tong Qiao and Lin Lan had agreed to their relationship. However, at this time, Fu Zhengyao and Lu Meihua were traveling. No one was on Lu Jinshen's side. In the end, he could only compromise.
When Lu Anran woke up, Lin Lan held her hand with heartache. "Silly child, if you want to be together, then be together. How can you joke about your own health?"
Lu Anran didn't eat yesterday and only had a bowl of porridge today. She was so tired that she fainted. Now her body was weak and she didn't even have the strength to speak. "Grandma Lin, I'm not being impulsive … Although I don't know if we can be together in the end … I really like him now …"
Lin Lan nodded. "I know. Your parents have agreed. Grandma Lin also supports you."
"Really?" Lu Anran was so excited that she wanted to get up from the bed.
Lin Lan quickly held her down. "Really. Don't move. The doctor just checked on you and said that you need more rest."
Lu Anran's pale face bloomed with Shuxin's faint smile. She was looking forward to dating Xu Fengyu in the future.
Not as brother and sister, but as lovers. What would it feel like?
Just thinking about it made her heart beat faster.
In the evening, Lin Lan finished cooking and went upstairs to Lu Anran's room. She was just coming out of the bathroom after washing up. "An An, are you feeling better? Can you go downstairs to eat? "
"Much better, but my legs are still weak."
"You've run so many laps, how can your legs not be weak? It'll probably take a few days to recover. Let's go, I'll help you downstairs." Lin Lan said as she went over to support Lu Anran's arm and walked towards the door of the room. She thought of something and said, "By the way, Ziqian knew that you were sick and fainted. He said that he would come over to see you."
"Huh?" Lu Anran stopped in her tracks. "Xu Fengyu is coming? When? "
"When I was cooking, I heard your mother talking to him on the phone. She said that she was coming over for dinner. He's probably on his way now."
On the way?
Lu Anran's heartbeat instantly lost its original frequency. In the past, when Xu Fengyu came over, she would be happy, but only happy. Now, she was actually nervous, extremely nervous, because he was no longer her brother.
"An 'an, where are you going?" Lin Lan asked in confusion when she saw Lu Anran suddenly turn around and walk back.
Lu Anran walked to the closet and said, "How can I go downstairs in pajamas? I … I need to change my clothes. "
Lin Lan frowned. "Why do you need to change your clothes? It's night now. Don't you have to go upstairs to sleep later? How troublesome is it to change back and forth? Didn't you always wear pajamas at home during the holidays? "
Lu Anran's pale face was tinged with a touch of red. She stammered, "The past and now … are different …"
"What's different …" Lin Lan said as she suddenly understood. Lu Ziqian was coming, so An 'an had to change her clothes. A woman would dress up for her lover. In Lin Lan's heart, it was difficult for her to convert Lu Ziqian and Lu Anran from siblings to lovers.
After she came to her senses, Lin Lan's lips curled into a teasing smile. "Our An 'an has really grown up. She knows how to be beautiful."
"Grandma Lin, you're making fun of me." Lu Anran blushed and looked at Lin Lan coquettishly.
Lin Lan smiled even more happily. "Dress up well. I'll go downstairs first."
Lu Anran picked out a set of her favorite clothes and changed into them. When she looked in the mirror, she realized that her face was too pale. She sat in front of the dressing table and put on some simple nude makeup. After that, she looked at herself carefully. When she realized that there was no problem, she got up and walked to the door.
Lu Anran opened the door and heard Tong Qiao and Xu Fengyu's voices from downstairs. Was he already here?
Her heart began to pound uncontrollably again.
Lu Anran pressed her chest, took a deep breath, and walked downstairs.
When she went downstairs, Lu Anran felt Xu Fengyu's gaze on her. She pretended to be calm and met his eyes. In reality, she was so nervous that she could hear her thunderous heartbeat.
However, she didn't want to appear so useless. Wasn't it just a relationship?
She was so nervous.
"You're down? Are you feeling better? "Tong Qiao asked.
Lu Anran sat down beside Tong Qiao. "Much better."
"Well, you …" Tong Qiao wanted to say that her brother was here to see her. However, when she thought about the relationship between Lu Anran and Lu Ziqian, she quickly swallowed the word back. "That's good. Ziqian is here to see you."
Lu Anran nodded to show that she understood. However, she didn't look in Xu Fengyu's direction.
On the other hand, Xu Fengyu was open and honest. When he looked at Lu Anran, he didn't hide the concern and love in his eyes.
Tong Qiao rarely saw her daughter, who was usually carefree, shy. She couldn't help but tease her. "Aren't you going to be with him? He's here. Why aren't you saying anything? "
"Who … Who wants to be with him?" Lu Anran immediately blushed. She got up and walked quickly to the kitchen. "Grandma Lin, can we eat now? I'm hungry. "
During the meal, because Lu Jinshen was present, Tong Qiao didn't tease Lu Anran anymore.
Lu Anran was usually a very lively person. However, she was unusually quiet today. She was also well-behaved while eating. She kept her head down and was unbelievably obedient.
After the meal, everyone sat on the sofa. Lu Jinshen and Xu Fengyu rarely spoke. Now that Lu Anran was unusually quiet, it was almost only Tong Qiao and Xu Fengyu talking. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Xu Fengyu didn't sit for long before he got up. "I'll go back first. Grandpa will be worried if it's too late."
Lu Anran suddenly looked up at Xu Fengyu. "You're leaving now?" After saying that, her face turned red. She hurriedly lowered her head and stammered, "I … I mean … it's still early …"
Tong Qiao smiled and nudged the man beside her. "Jinshen, I remember that someone gave you a packet of Da Hong Pao tea. I asked Ziqian to bring it back to make tea for Uncle Xu, but I forgot where I put it. Come upstairs with me to look for it."
"You're the one who's packing. How would I know where I put it?" Men tended to be slower in certain aspects. For example, Lu Jinshen didn't understand what Tong Qiao meant.
"Come, come upstairs with me to look for it." Tong Qiao had no choice but to hold Lu Jinshen's hand and get up.
"Ask Auntie Lin why she held me … Why did you pinch me …" Lu Jinshen's voice gradually faded away.
Only Xu Fengyu and Lu Anran were left in the living room.
The two of them didn't speak at first. It was so quiet that they could hear Auntie Lin washing the dishes in the kitchen clearly.
