[ON HOLD] (1)The Little Brat's Sweet And Sassy

337-339

…

As soon as Lu Huaiyu returned to the Lu family, he found Old Master Lu pacing back and forth in the courtyard.

It was obvious that he was waiting for him.

“You’re back?”

Old Master Lu’s voice trailed off, as his eyes fell on Lu Huaiyu. He looked as if he wanted to say something more but hesitated.

Lu Huaiyu nodded.

“So, the Xu family has left?”

“They left a long time ago.”

When Old Master Lu thought of it, he could not help but snort.

“You knew that they were coming, so you deliberately went out and waited for them to leave before coming back, didn’t you?”

“It was more important to send Ah Li off,” Lu Huaiyu said and laughed. “Since I didn’t want to see them anyway, it was just a coincidental fringe benefit.”

He had always been arrogant and difficult to please. It did not matter even if it was the Xu family, if he did not want to give them face, he would not give them face.

Old Master Lu choked for a moment, but he could not do anything about it.

“You brat, you sure have a lot of free time, leaving me here to deal with the trouble!”

Lu Huaihe raised his eyebrows.

“I thought you would be quite happy to do it.”

Old Master Lu’s thoughts were exposed, and his slight embarrassment showed on his face.

“If it weren’t for Ah Li, do you think I would be willing to help you clean up this mess!?”

As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Huaiyu again.

“However, that hand-drawing…”

Lu Huaiyu said, “You won’t be able to see it today. It’s at the Rongyue Residence.”

“Who said I wanted to see it?

Old Master Lu immediately retorted.

“I… I was just asking casually! Didn’t you say that the picture was of Ah Li? So many people misidentified her, yet you don’t even want to think about it!”

Lu Huaiyu lowered his eyes slightly, and there seemed to be a surge of emotions in the depths of his deep phoenix eyes.

After a moment, he laughed.

“At that time, she was very young, with short hair. She was very thin, so, understandably, people misunderstood.

Old Master Lu had never seen that hand drawing before, so he did not understand the situation. However, he had seen Ah Li before and he could see that the child was beautiful. Even if she had short hair, surely she would not have been mistaken for a boy, right?

As if seeing through his thoughts, Lu Huaiyu explained with a smile, “That hand drawing only showed her profile. It doesn’t depict her full appearance.”

Old Master Lu understood.

“I see… But you’ve been thinking about her for so long. I thought it was her entire appearance, but actually… it was only her profile?”

Lu Huaiyu’s brows twitched slightly, but he did not say anything.

After a long while, his thin lips curved into an extremely faint smile.

He had only remembered her profile, so of course, that was all he had been able to produce.

Old Master Lu looked at him. He seemed to have thought of something, and the expression on his face faded.
