Chapter 67 â Zhong Yuhuanâs 14th birthday (3)
Zhong Chi drank a bit much today, so Xu Yunhui helped him to get some rest. Soon, Xu Xing, Xu Yushan, Huo Chengming, Li Jinyuan and Zhong Yuhuan were the only ones left at the table.
Xu Xing continued to keep his head lowered quietly.
Even Zhong Yuhuan started to feel bad for him.
Xu Yunhui didnât want him to attend #13 High School anymore, so Zhong Chi transferred him to Murphy High School, but Xu Xing couldnât fit into that place. Never mind about friends, it was lucky that he didnât get into fights with the other students.
Xu Xing was progressively more unhappy at school, but Xu Yunhui refused to let him transfer back to #13 High School. Zhong Chi also felt that it was his own problem not being able to fit in.
His own sense of self was about to be destroyed by his parents and his sister.
Zhong Yuhuan sighed and looked away.
Right then, Xu Yushan toasted to Zhong Yuhuan, âCongratulations on your upcoming trip!â
She paused, then, with the corners of her mouth lifted up, said, âToo bad you will miss my engagement ceremony.â
Zhong Yuhuan lifted her brows. She thought to herself;who was that unlucky person.
Xu Yushan smiled shyly and said, âNan Xuyang, he is cousin of Young Master Nan. If you follow through with your engagement and be married to Young Master Nan in the future, I will be your cousin-in-law as well!â
Zhong Yuhuan had no idea who this Nan Xuyang was, nor did she remember anyone ever mentioning him. That only meant that there was nothing notable or mentionable about this person within the second-generation rich kids.
Zhong Yuhuan smiled too, âOh okay, then I wish you luck. May your love last forever.â
There was a little intention of showing off from Xu Yushan. As young as Zhong Yuhuan was, she was a woman after all and must have thought about marriage. She wanted to make a point that she wasnât exactly picking up what Zhong Yuhuan didnât want.
Now that she heard what Zhong Yuhuan said, Xu Yushan suddenly felt a bit of panic.
But why?
Xu Yushan gritted her teeth.
It was just a smile from a little bratâ¦
Zhong Yuhuan put down her wine glass in her hand and said to Huo Chengming and Li Jinyuan, âLetâs go.â Then, she walked away without looking at Xu Yushan again.
If Xu Yushan truly got married and minded her own business, she just might be able to dodge that landmine that she had set in place.
If she got any other ideas after getting married, well then, she asked for it herself.
After leaving the hotel, the three of them headed straight toward Lan Yue Mansion.
After having dinner with Grandpa Ding and cutting her birthday cake, Zhong Yuhuan started to feel tired.
Zhong Yuhuan walked out of the mansion and sighed at the front door.
Li Jinyuan quickly asked, âWhatâs the matter?â
Huo Chengming, on the other hand, had already squatted down in front of her and said in a deep voice, âIâll carry youâ
âCarry me and walk all the way home?â chuckled Zhong Yuhuan.
âCarry you out of the mansion district first then get a car,â said Huo Chengming. The voice of a young man during the voice-changing period certainly wasnât too pleasant to the ears.
Zhong Yuhuan jumped onto his back right away; she even reached her hand out to touch his Adamâs apple and said to him, âThe voice-changing period will be over soon. Chengming-ge ge must talk more in the future.â
Huo Chengming nodded then, thinking about what she just said, added a âMmmâ.
Walking next to them, Li Jinyuan said in a low voice, âHuo Chengming, I can carry Huanhuan when you are tired.â
âI wonât be tired,â said Huo Chengming simply.
Li Jinyuan, ââ¦â¦â
Zhong Yuhuan, lying on Huo Chengmingâs back, kicked her foot and said, âKIA!â
Huo Chengmingâs ears turned red. Obediently, he started running with Li Jinyuan trailing behind him.
